Glass products seemed to be fairly common in this world due to the existence of magic and alchemy. I had seen glass windows here and there in Laffan, but they weren’t exactly of good quality. With that in mind, a delicate item like an hourglass would probably be closer to a work of art than a tool for practical use.

“In any case, just leave measuring the passage of time to me,” said Haruka. “Feel free to practice your skills as long as you don’t fall asleep.”

“Okay.”

I took Haruka up on her offer and started using my Scout skill. Walking around to scout out the environs would make some noise, and Yuki had only just gone to bed, so it also was possible that she would detect the movements of my mana if I practiced magic. I didn’t want to make it hard for her to sleep. Fortunately, my Scout skill was a passive skill that wouldn’t use mana or make any noise.

First I closed my eyes and searched around the river with my Scout skill. There were very few signals moving around at the moment, probably because fish like yamame trout were all asleep. However, my Scout skill did pick up on some active signals, which I assumed were the nocturnal types of fish and amphibians. It probably wouldn’t be too hard to find giant salamanders at this time, but there was no reason for me to go out of my way to do so.

The next place I turned my attention was the forest, and there my Scout skill picked up a lot of signals moving around. They must have been nocturnal animals, but the signals weren’t very strong. That meant that they probably weren’t that much of a threat to us, but we still had to be aware of them.

I told Haruka about what I had found with my Scout skill, and she paused in thought for a second before replying. “Maybe the signals in the forest are wolves. There are nocturnal wolves in this forest, right?”

“It seems like it, yeah,” I replied. “It doesn’t sound like it’s that common for people to get attacked by wolves, though.”

“The wolves are probably smart enough to know that it’s dangerous to attack people. If it’s the same here as it was back on Earth, then wolves only move in packs with a maximum population of ten,” said Haruka. “The only kind of people that would camp out here are adventurers, so any wolves that tried to attack them would definitely get their numbers whittled down quickly.”

Haruka’s theory made sense; there was no reason for wolves to go out of their way to attack armed adventurers unless they were totally unprepared. It would probably be easier for the wolves to go for prey like deer. According to Haruka, a pack of wolves usually roamed around a territory between ten and thirty kilometers in size, so they would seldom gather up in great enough numbers to attack groups of people. It sounded like
