Reincarnated as an Aristocrat with an Appraisal Skill

"Wana......?

The next day, I made a suggestion to Roselle, who came to study, that Leeds make a trap.

"That's right. If you're a hunter's son, you know a few things.

To Leetz's question, Roselle shook her neck sideways,

"I don't. I mean, what's a wana?

and said something unexpected.

"That, you don't know the trap? Wouldn't your father hunt in any other way than to fight directly with bows and arrows?

"I won't."

"Really? - What a surprise. Well, I'm not that familiar with the world of hunters either."

If Greg doesn't know the trap, don't be more likely to admit it, even if the trap Roselle made isn't that complicated.

"So, what's a wana, Doctor?"

"A trap is a way to use tricks to catch a beast. I guess it's the pitfalls that are famous. Dig a deep hole in the ground, cover the hole with a thin wooden plate, and put soil, leaves, etc. on top of it to make it look like a ground without any philosophy. If you step in there, you'll fall into a hole."

"Heh, that's a good head."

Are you smart? I knew about the pitfalls and stuff at some point, so you never really realized it. Surely the first person in humanity to think of a pit might have been smart.

"But on second thought, I don't think it's a good idea to hunt that way. 'Cause it doesn't make sense if the prey doesn't step in a hole by chance."

Roselle squeaks and puts her right index finger around her brow. It is a habit to do when thinking about something.

"If you put the feed where there's a pit, it'll trap you...

Hmm, but a pit can only take one animal in a single trap... it's hard to dig a deep hole, then it's faster to hunt with a bow... you have to make it easier or take it full of one trap... "

Bumps and Roselle began to whine.

Next thing I know, I'm going to say my thoughts.

"Roselle, try to figure out what kind of trap you're going to make when you're done thinking about it. I'll have the paper and the writing equipment."

"I don't paint, do I?

"For once, it's easier to figure it out."

"That too? Okay, I'll write when I'm done thinking about it."

Roselle started whining about the bumps and thoughts again as she did her thinking tricks.

Pretty focused. When you're in this state, you often don't even notice when you talk to them.

"Can we make a trap for Roselle?

"I don't know, but it sounds like you're definitely trying to concentrate and make it hard anyway. You might expect this."

"Right."

There was nothing more I could do, so I watched Roselle work hard.

I somehow looked into the traps that are actually used in this world.

Apparently, in this Lamberg, it's not customary to use traps to take prey.

Reetz, who is not from Lamberg, thought the trap was what would be used in hunting, so I guess the trap is used in another area.

Leetz doesn't even know what kind of trap to use, even though he knows to use a trap, so there's not much he figured out about traps in the end.

I'll think about what kind of trap I'd like myself, too, but I don't think this is easy to come up with.

In the first place, I'm not familiar with the ecology of animals that are often hunted in this world.

Making a trap with it is hard inside.

Roselle is quite animal knowledgeable like a hunter's son, so it's not okay there.

Along the way I desist from thinking about traps.

But the lack of trap hunting in Lamberg will mean that if Roselle comes up with a good trap, instead of being admitted by Greg, it will contribute to improving food productivity in the village.

Then you're two birds with one stone.

I had a little anticipation and waited for Roselle to come up with a trap.

○

Dozens of days have passed.

"Done!"

Roselle, who was facing the paper, said with sincere pleasure.

Apparently, the creation of the trap is over.

"Okay, well, let me see the diagram."

"Yeah!"

Roselle looked unusual and bright, showing Leeds the diagram of the trap. I'm so glad it's done.

Leeds takes a closer look at the diagram.

Naturally, this is the first diagram I've drawn, so many places I can't tell just by looking at it. Leetz makes Roselle explain everything. I looked at the diagram with him, too, and heard the commentary.

Roselle's thought trap is like this.

First of all, the prey to be targeted does not target a wide variety of animals, but narrows them down to one. This time in the case of the trap considered by Roselle, in the woods near the village, it targets an animal named 'Sue', which inhabits a lot.

Sue looks like a smaller pig. The taste of meat is close to that of a cow. It tastes like low-fat Aussie beef, not frosted like Japanese beef.

Sue has the trait of coming into something yellow, but it's a trap that uses it.

Prepare a wide enclosure first. In the enclosure, leave a cloth stained with the smell of apples, Sue's favorite. Nosey Sue gathers around the trap now.

Attach a door to the enclosure, but add ideas to this door.

Paint the outside in yellow, make it a creeping door that feels like a pet door, and make it work like letting Sue in when she comes running into the door.

Make it a structure that won't open unless pulled from the inside. Then Sue, who went inside, won't be able to go outside.

When I heard the description of the trap, I thought it was a pretty effective trap.

But Leeds,

"You have a little something to worry about. What should we do about the durability of the door? If you make the door brittle, it breaks, and if you make it too hard, Sue, who hit her head on the door, could pass out and block the entrance."

and pointed out concerns.

"Sue doesn't pass out easily because her head is stiff. You should use something hard on the door so it doesn't break."

Roselle answered Leeds' question immediately.

"I see. What are we going to do with Sue after we capture her?

"If we build a door for humans in the enclosure and the number of captives is small, I think we should go in and take them down normally. Sue is timid, so if she's not wearing yellow, she rarely comes running. If you're losing your escape, I don't think it's that hard to hunt. If the numbers are high, I guess I'll just have to attack them with a bow from the outside. I think we just need to install one simple piece."

"Hmm."

Leeds thinks.

"Would you like to make it once? Let's narrow down the enclosure first and create a scale where only a couple of them can be captured. I won't even have to report it to Master Raven because I don't think it will cost that much. If you get results with that, ask Master Raven to make a wider one. All right, Master Ars?"

"Oh, let's do that"

But I didn't know you were really going to think of a proper trap. It is remarkable for a five-year-old

It's true, Roselle, that weapon suitability must have been an A.

The trap, according to the way you look at it, can't even be called a weapon, so maybe there is one too.

Anyway, it was decided to actually create Roselle's contemplated trap.
