First off an apology about the delay as i was sick with the flu and too tired to do anything after work, on the plus side i was bored and decided to give RWBY a shot and it turned out to be a pretty awesome show even with the lack l.u.s.ter visuals.
After phasing out for two hours, I started checking out the traps.
Its about time for the sun to set and i wont be able to see my hands.
I take a peak at each trap while not expecting much.
“Ohh, something got caught”
A large quail was caught in the trap.
For now, this is more than enough for tonight’s dinner so i retrieve the rest of the traps.
By the way, in j.a.pan capturing them is forbidden until 2017.
Just to be safe, i ask {Identify}-Sensei and he confirms that its a quail as well, so i begin to prepare it light heartedly.
Perhaps it does not have a skill, as {Acquisition}-Sensei did not inform me of anything.
For now, i drain the blood, pluck the feathers, i do this without a pot.
While leaving the fat on the side, I crush the skin, organs, small bones and body with a rock.
As expected the cutter is getting all sticky because of the grease, and the edge starts getting dull.
“Its a shame that i don’t have a pot as it looks like i can get some good soup stock from this……”
Because i liked cooking even before i got married, I truly get sad when i cant used good ingredients.
While feeling a bit of sadness, I make an oven and toss in a large flat stone.
I take out the stone that became hot enough, and then i pull out the fat that i kept on the side.
I watch the fat as it changes, and then i spread the crushed meat on top of the stone as if it was a tartar steak.
While an aroma rises that was different from that of chicken, the meat is grilled while going chirichiri.
“Even though they are both birds they are completely different, i heard that pheasant is delicious and it definitely looks like it”
When the fat falls into the fire, an aroma different than that of the Aodaishoumodoki starts coming up.
Right then my stomach starts rumbling.
“Itadakimasu”
While the fat is moderately dipping off of both sides that were a bit burnt, i immediately start biting into it.
“A, this would be impossible for chicken. What is this, already, the smell is different”
After that i crazily stuffed my checks, the small bones that were crushed enough provided a firm accent to the meat.
“Gochisosamades.h.i.ta, That was satisfying”
Because i filled my stomach, i start preparing a place to sleep in.
Since there was a s.p.a.ce below the rock that a person can barely get into, i start placing dried leaves to act as bedding there.
Even though i am a metabo, its not that tight of a fit, so i manage to get in somehow, but it was a bit close at times.
As a precaution, i set an alarm every hour so that the fire wont die, then i go to sleep.
“It was a tough day, thanks for keeping at it, good night”
When i look at the sky i see spread out constellations that I’ve never seen before, and once again i realize that i am in a place far away from j.a.pan.
I wake up at each alarm, and add in fire wood, it was around four o’clock.
A piercing cry was echoing, i tried to jump out, but because of the rocks i had to squeeze myself out slowly.
“At times like this, i think i should lose weight”
While keeping my emotions somewhat down, i head towards the source of the cry.
Since that cry is oddly familiar, i somewhat knew its ident.i.ty.
“I knew it……”
At the live leg snare trap that i found in the morning a large wild boar was caught.
Even when compared to the tree the trap was affixed to, the size of the wild boar was overwhelming, It gave off a feeling that it could wreck the tree along with the trap.
“Its impossible to finish it off, or even release it”
For now, As long as this is here other prey will not attack, so i decided to go back to sleep.
With that large body, it will be impossible for ti to get to my sleeping spot.
I fall asleep while looking forward to finding out what kind of intelligent being was it that placed that trap.
“Once again, good night”
im going to sleep now but if i feel better i may translate another chapter for tomorrow or the day after.
