My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s

es like poison.

She wasn’t saying anything, did that mean that it was edible.

「This might be a cherry? Wait a sec.」

Taking the fruit from Waki, Hosoyama put it in her mouth without hesitating.

「O, oi!」

Unlike Waki and I who were worried, Hosoyama was nonchalant. 

I sighed a breath of relief when I saw that nothing happened.

「What were you doing! What would you do if it was poisonous!」

Waki raised his voice.

Certainly, Hosoyama was somewhat careless.

Seeing us like that, Hosoyama gave a huge grin.

「It’s fine.
Healers have a skill that makes us impervious to poison.
Although I say that, I had only acquired it just recently though.」

In other words, Hosoyama was immune to poison, huh.

I felt like I could see hope within this survival lifestyle. 

With this, when we meet up with the other group, if we had Hosoyama taste the food that they brought for poison, then it would be safe.

「I’m sorry for not telling you earlier.
I don’t know how effective this skill was either unless I tested it out.」

I trembled a little when I heard Hosoyama say that and laugh.

How should I say this, she had nerves of steel. 

「For the time being, I will taste all the food that we find for poison.
Also, this fruit that looks like a cherry tastes like a peach and is delicious.
The skin is a little bitter, so it might be good to eat it after peeling it.」

「Got it! Please take care of us, Hosoyama!」

As a result, thanks to Hosoyama’s poison tasting, our group was able to find quite a few edible fruits. 

With this much, everyone would be able to eat until we’re eighty percent full.

「It’s almost time.
Let’s go back!」

It was basically a straight path back, so we just had to turn around and go back.

Feeling pleased, I followed the marks on the trees and rushed back to the meeting place.

「…eh?」

Waki, who was walking in front, raised his voice.

The marks that I had made on the tree, after following them to the end, the slightly open rendezvous point that should’ve been there was no longer there.
