I woke up early. I emptied my bladder, petted Lugh and took out my diary. I thought for a bit and finally opened the diaty to write the entry for today.

Entry 753
I went to the forest with Kevin and found a lot of herbs. No goblin attack today. We spent the whole day foraging. On the way out we found a young red fox. Kevin became a bit pissy because he is scared of dogs. Poor Kevin. I named it Lugh and decided to keep it.
By the way, Harold the guard will be accompanying us today to Virea. He said he will collect a package. My leg still hurt like a bitch but the journey will be safe, I hope.

I put down my pen and reread the entry I wrote on my diary. Should I call it journal? Yep, journal does not sound gay to me. I'm done eating my usual breakfast, I shared the rest with Lugh. He seem to like cheese a lot, I wonder why. I stared at Lugh, which is now napping below my chair. I placed a leather belt on his neck yesterday as a temporary collar.
"Hey Kanno! Good morning." Ah, my dear friend Kevin. He is obviously excited about our trip because I can see a huge fucking bag strapped on his back. He is also carrying the 2 sacks he collected yesterday, I wonder how the hell did he manage to carry all that stuff. "What the fuck is in that huge ass bag Kevs. Dont tell me you took all your stuff. Idiot." I stared at him as he dropped the sacks and the bag he is carrying. He started to open the bag for me to see what is inside.
"Camping tools, clothes, food and other... stuff." He told me with a grin. I just massaged my forehead at his display. "Fuck, fine. But you will carry all that shit by yourself. I bet if you can disassemble your house you will take it too." I said.
"Ugh... Well actually, I did try to. But I thought it would be too heavy." This lunatic actually tried to take his house. Why the fuck am I friends with this idiot again? Oh I remember, because I am as crazy as him. I took out my biggest backpack and shoved all my stuff that is either not too heavy to carry or was not nailed in place. Clothes, food, trinkets, books. Everything that can fit in my bag. I almost took a painting on the wall but left it after I realized that it does not have any practical use on our trip. I stopped when my house is almost empty except the furnitures. Lastly I dragged the old chest outside.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
"Gods... And you called me an idiot earlier... Hahahahaha!" I just shrugged at Kevin's comment and tried to lift the bag which is almost bigger than me. I managed to lift it, I also picked up the sacks of herbs and tied it on the bag. "Come Lugh! We are leaving!" Lugh looked at my bag first, then at me. He tilted his head in confusion, probably at the thought that I am carrying something huge on my back.
"Hey Kanno are you sure you can carry all that? I can carry the chest for you if you want." Kevin looked concerned but I just shook my head.
"I'm fine. I'm feeling good actually, it's like I'm doing exercise." I picked up the chest and started to walk towards the town gate.

"Are you two planning to migrate or something? What's up with those packs?" Harold asked us while looking confused. I just laughed at his expression. He is currently sorting out his stuff. A few days worth of rations, a waterskin, a knife and some herbs grinded into paste. Obviously for first aid. His short sword is sheathed on his hip. After stuffing his stuff in a bag he stood up.
"Before we go, let me ask you guys first. Did you bring any weapons for self defense?" Kevin tapped the knife strapped on his bag. "Only this." Then they both turned to me. "Just two kitchen knives and a sling..." I answered. Harold contemplated for a bit and said, "Well that's better than nothing. Let's go." And so, 3 men and a fox headed to Virea.
