TN: Here another chapter, but first a summary of the announcement, if you have time is .
Well, first, there are two polls, one about the release schedule and another for the name of the job.
Second, I’m struggling to scan the light novel images, but it’s difficult to do it without damaging the book so maybe I post bad resolution images.
Then, that’s all for now.
After a while, Pochi groaned again.
That means, Is something coming closer?
This time I hold the hatchet to not be careless.
Then a rat appeared from the front.
Moreover this time there are two.
Oh, two of them.
Cannot one be entrusted to Pochi?
"Pochi, one is up to you"
"Wan!"
Pochi barked to tell me to entrust it.
As before, the rats came at us with force when they recognized us.
Moreover, they came divided into Pochi and me.
This was welcome.
Because I thought it will difficult to respond if both rats head to either I or Pochi.
Pochi too arrived at the rat, and intercept it.
On the other hand, I will wait for the rat to come.
The rat"s speed is fairly fast.
It came to my feet in a moment. And it was about to open its mouth and bite me.
But that was predictable, so there is no panic.
On the contrary, I threw a soccer kick according to the movement of the rat.
The soccer kick lands spectacularly on the face of the rat.
The moment it hit, a considerable impact was transmitted to my leg, and a noise of breaking. (TN: It says it made a poki- sound)
I keep swinging my foot and the rat blew away.
It huurtss!
It reaaly huurtss!
The sound of breaking, was my foot broken?
In a hurry, I touch my feet.
Touching the part that kicked the rat hurts quite a bit.
I endure it and touched it carefully, apparently, it is not broken.
Then, I thought about broken-like sound.
Well, in this case, there is only one option.
I approached the kicked rat.
As I approached, I found that the rat was bend in a strange direction.
It seems that the neck of the rat broke with the shock of the kick.
But, the rat did not seem to be dead yet and its body was trembling with bikun-bikun.
It will probably die even if I leave it like this but, I think about the worst and swing down the hatchet at the rat"s neck.
The hatchet cut the rat"s neck wonderfully, and the head parted from the torso.
With this is alright.
How is Pochi doing?
Looking towards Pochi, he is biting the rat"s neck, holding down its head and body.
As it is, he is pulling the biting portion to tear off the neck of the rat.
Of course, the rat rages to keep him from doing that, but as it ramp up Pochi"s fang spread its wounds.
Then, finally, Pochi succeed in tearing it off.
Blood protruded from the place where the rat"s neck was torn, the rat was struggling for a while but it finally stops.
Just as expected.
As being treated as a police or a military dog, does a rat of this level couldn"t keep company with him?
Oh, by the way, when you defeat a monster your physical abilities rose.
I move my body on the spot.
I tried to twist my body and jump.
But, I don"t feel different from before.
There are two things that can be considered from that.
First, this rat is not a monster.
Therefore, nothing changes if you killed it.
Second, the improvement in physical ability is insignificant because this rat is too weak, and the change is slight.
If it were the first one, no matter how much I kill, there would be no change.
However, if it is the second one, I will see the changes if I kill a lot of rats. However, in that case, I don"t know how much to kill.
Anyway, is it time to go back?
Maybe, it will be around noon.
I thought so, I tried to turn back the way I came but, I was at loss at what to do with the rats.
Why?
If the rats were a monster, I may be worth as edible.
Moreover, it is more delicious a monster in the deep layer than a monster in the surface, a stronger monster than a weak monster.
I cannot accept what Pochi has beaten but, what I killed, thanks to the cut on the neck, the blood drawing is almost done.
If I could drain the blood further, there will be no problem in eating.
Why do not bring this one back home?
It"s decided, first of all, to drain all the blood, I hold the back leg upside down.
Then, the blood that still has remained in the body gush out from where it was cut.
After a while, when the blood ceased, I carried it on my shoulder and returned.
First, I got out of the hole, and connect the lead to Pochi.
Then, I move a little and began to dismantle the rat.
Although I had dismantled a chicken, I had a hard time, because I have not dismantled something with a skin like that of the rat.
I did not peel off the skin well but, it doesn"t matter because I will throw it away.
I open the stomach and take out their internal organs and cut the meat into pieces.
The internal organs are discarded after leaving the heart and liver.
Even if I said to throw it away, is put in a bio garbage processing machine.
This way I can use it as fertilizer.
After that, it was around lunch near to 2 o"clock.
So, I enter the house with the dismantled meat.
There, mom was waiting.
"Welcome back, it"s late. How was it?"
"I"m home. Hmm, I don"t know yet. I will investigate for a while."
"Really. So, what is that meat? "
"This is meat of the rat which was in the hole"
"Wait, do not bring such a thing! Throw it away quickly!!"
As expected, do you rush if it"s said is rat"s meat?
"Maa-Maa, Calm down. To be exact, is something similar to a rat"
"Where is the difference between them! Alright, just throw it away! "
"Therefore, calm down. Okay? In case, that hole is a dungeon, this is meat of a monster"
"So what?"
"Didn"t you see the news? Monster meat is treated as luxury meat"
"…Now that you mention it, it was like that."
"Therefore, I thought that this might be the case, so I brought it."
"I see. It may be luxury meat, is it? Well then, let"s eat at once."
That said, she took the meat from my hands and headed to the kitchen.
"Wai-, mom!"
"Sit down and wait. I will cook it now"
As she said that, she disappeared into the kitchen.
Well.
I intended to cook it anyway, I think that I was able to avoid that work.
I went to the living room, and wait for the cooking.
"Done it”
She put the dish on the table.
"Go, try it soon"
Mom laugh with nico-nico looking at this place.
She is looking me and I have not eaten yet.
Are you planning to make me a poison tester?
I sigh, hold the chopsticks, and grab a piece of meat.
Stop in front of me, prepare myself and put it in my mouth.
I put in my mouth and chew it with mogu-mougu.
…n?
Nn!?
Delicious.
It is normally delicious.
It is not delicious as super delicious but, it"s better than just meat.
Well, if it was a monster it was a fairly small fish, is it such a thing?
"How is it? Is it alright?"
"No problem. It"s delicious."
"Is it so? Then, me too one bite"
Saying that she grabs with her hand a piece of meat and put it in her mouth.
"Un, delicious. No problem with this."
That said, she continues to carry meat to her mouth.
"Wait, my part is gone!"
"It"s okay. We still have meat."
"Then bring the rest of the meat."
"Please wait. I will bring it now."
Mom once more withdraws to the kitchen.
After a while, she brought a large plate.
There is a lot but I am on it.
Probably I would finish all the meat.
"Mom, please take this meat to Pochi. Because of him, I was able to bring it."
"Oh, yeah. Well then, hold half of it."
She brings another plate, picks it up and leaves half there.
She took it to Pochi.
I eat rice with the remaining meat.
Mom came back when I had eaten all.
It was good to have come back, but she had a look of despair immediately.
"Ah, the meat…"
It seems to be a shock that there was not meat.
"Later, I will head to the hole. At that time I will bring it again."
"Is it true!? Well then, please. Next time bring a lot more."
"Okay"
After I took about an hour off as a break after the meal, I felt that I could move already, so I decided to head back to the hole.
Next time I carry a big rucksack for put in the rats.
