The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash

Ivy visits a village after catching a field mouse in a trap. She sees everyone going about their work using their magical skills and frets over her own skill. Ivy sells her mouse meat and buys the first bread she's had in years.

Femicia lives with her loving family. She's about to turn five—the age at which everyone receives a magical skill. No one knows what skill they will receive. That is left to the will of the gods. Femicia wants to be a tamer and work with monsters, but...

In an attempt to get Sora to sleep early, Ivy begins to tell a bedtime story.

At the entrance to the next village, Ivy spots a scary-looking guard standing watch. Trembling with fear, she attempts to pass, but the guard stops and questions her. When she says that she's come from Latomi Village, the guard says something unexpected.

When Ivy goes into the village to sell her catch, everyone is really nice to her which makes her nervous. Later, she chances upon a peddler selling zaro, a specialty of Latomi Village. When she asks how the village is faring, the answer surprises her.
