I Can Speak with Animals and Demons Chapter 33 Part2

There are plenty of collecting quests, such as “My daughter has fallen ill and needs healing leaves”.

The quest to collect golden nuts is very rewarding. This may mean that it is harder to find or there are dangerous monsters around.

Although there are few monsters near this city, you can encounter them as soon as you enter the forest. Just because you are on a gathering request doesn’t mean you won’t encounter monsters or ferocious animals.

Well, I think there are few in shallow places, but I do not want to meet strange people.

I memorise the details of this gathering request.

Apparently gathering quests will be rewarded for bringing materials to the guild later.

“… Okay, let’s go to gather some!”

I peel off the piece of paper and take it to the reception.

“Hey, I’m looking for some golden nuts. Can you guide me?”

The bird answers as I politely bow.

『Oh!? You again? I’m busy now. Don’t talk to me casually.』

How are you busy! No matter how hou look at it, you’re just resting your wings on a tree branch!

I glanced at the bird, but it only looks far away.

The reason I ask this bird in particular is because golden nuts are enjoyed by this yellow bird, Honeybird.

It’s no surprise that the bird knows where the trees that grow golden nuts are.

So, I’m bowing my head… That’s right.

I don’t know if it works for the birds here, but I’ll try one of my trump cards.

“Oops, I brought mochi white bread to this place.”

『Place it on the floor immediately and raise your hands! Turn around!』

A bird that sees red by looking at my high white bread. Its yellow wings spread out loudly.

Why do I have to raise my hands?

While questionning in my heart, I follow obediently.

Then strange gazes are directed at me from the people walking on the road.

That’s right, there is a man who suddenly raises his hands, even from the other end of the road. I’d think it’s strange too.

The bird, that flutters slowly and descends, approaches the white bread carefully placed on the floor.

『… Okay, don’t move… Hmm, this softness and elasticity. The scent of wheat spreads as soon as you put it in your mouth! … It’s white bread. It is incomparable with the breadcrumbs scattered by the “G.o.ddess’ Blessing” shop in the east. Where is it from?』

I didn’t know that the bird had those tastes.

He seems to like white bread.

“A bakery located in a luxurious shopping district in the west. White bread sold at “Golden Earth”.”

『Well, that’s a high-end shopping street, and we’re approached violently. Frequently, shopkeepers and guards will interfere with us.』

The bird says in a regretful voice, contrary to me, who can afford to smile.

Well, it’s not good if birds come to the high-end shopping district, so everyone will drive them away. Because they handle food there.

“You can eat white bread every time you sign with me okay?”

『All right! I’m tired of eating golden nuts. What kind of thing is that anyway? Isn’t white bread better?』

“Can you guide me now?”

『Do not worry. In any case, I’ll cooperate with a human that can talk to me.』

What are you talking about. You are not a big shot. You’re just a honeybird in town. There’s no need to be emotionnal about it.

“Well then can we go?”

『Wait please! At least after finis.h.i.+ng this white bread!』
