The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash (Novel) Vol. 09

SUMMONING TROUBLE

The people of Hataka Village are on edge. Strange things are happening in the forest, and it’s making even the friendliest of creatures act out in surprising—and dangerous—ways! Determined to get to the bottom of things, Ivy and her friends head into the forest to investigate. Encountering the tragedy within, they determine a summoning circle is putting a spell on humans and animals alike. While Sol and Sora do their best to break the spells, Ivy searches for the summoning circle and the truth about what happened at Hataka Village.

Series Overview: Young Ivy can’t catch a break. Though she has a few memories of her past life, she was reborn into an RPG-like world in the weakest class, and worse, as the weakest rank. As a no-star Tamer, even her parents want nothing to do with her, and she soon realizes she must survive on her own.

She learns to live off the land and salvage what she can from other people’s leavings. But when Ivy manages to tame Sora, a lowly slime, everything changes for both of them. There’s something special about this frail little monster, and Ivy’s care will bring out the best in both of them!
