The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash Vol. 04

NEW FACES BRING NEW FRIENDS—AND DANGER!

After leaving Ratome Village, Ivy heads toward the town of Otolwa. As she travels through the forest, she meets a group of adventurers called the “Sword of Flames,” a myriad of unique personalities. For her own safety, Ivy decides to travel with them, all the while keeping Sora’s and Adandara’s existence a secret. However, the lively time she spends among them is fleeting, for it isn’t long before she senses an unpleasant, unsettling gaze upon her…

Series Overview: When Ivy learns she’s “starless,” she knows her life is over. Without stars, she can’t use her Tamer skill to subdue even the smallest of animals. So she flees into the forest, where she befriends a lowly slime named Sora—the one creature she can tame. Together, this unlikely pair begins salvaging other people’s rubbish in an attempt to turn their lives around!
