The surrounding area was farmland, and the village was surrounded by fences.
People who were farming were surprised to see us.
“Saran… what is that?”
“A Human”
“No, humans m… are rare.”
When I first met Saran-san, I thought she was like a giant, but not only was Saran-san tall,it seemed like everyone was taller than me. Yeah, I think it’s just like thinking “Foreigners are Tall” when traveling abroad. I have never traveled abroad.
Among them, Saran has one big head …
“Oh Saran, a deer …. what is that?”
“A Human.”
“I can see it …”
“Saran, did you catch that? … Who is that?”
“A Human”
“No, I know that.”
Villagers have gathered.
This is hard.
I’m honestly scared.
“He’s called Shin. He and I hit the dear at the same time, it can’t be helped, so I’ll divide it into portions.”
The deer is dropped off at the open space, and Saran grows.
…… A stunning proportion that you will fall in love with. I like boobs a lot.
Is it because it gets in the way when shooting a bow? Her breasts were pressed down by a protector. Women have it hard…
If you look at it like this, she’s definitely a woman.
It’s awesome. Ring your neck.
I take it back. She’s of the Han dynasty.
“Hey human!”
The child calls out unscrupulously.
“Shin, this guy-,” Saran cautions.
“Why are you here?”
What will I answer?
How can I convince them of my story?
“… I was lost”
“Did you get lost? How did you come to such a place just by getting lost?”
“No, it’s true! I don’t know where this is.”
“This is an elf village, Kopoli. The city of humans is far away.”
“I’m seeing a human for the first time”
“What a small human.”
I’m Japanese. But you are also a child and small.
“Yes, yes, yes. It’s my customer. Please do that.”
“Is this the deer that has been ruining the fields lately?”
“Maybe yes. There are still many of them left.”
“Is it quite difficult just to catch one?”
Is deer crop damage the same as in Japan in such a village?
“Let’s hang it and disassemble it.”
“Oh, I’ll help you.”
“That’s right. Then, let’s do it together. I promised to divide it between is.”
“No, please give it to the village. I only need dinner.”
“Is that okay?”
“Yes.”
When that happens, the children cheer.
“Meat! Meat tonight!”
Yeah, I hope this makes my impression a little better.
The two of us hang the deer upside down with a rope, cut the carotid artery, drain the blood, and then start dismantling iy.
I mean, I’m doing it alone.
Everyone is looking at me.
Is is the tool in my hand rare?
Make a cut in the skin, first cut around the anus so that the poop does not stick to the flesh, tear the abdomen so as not to damage the bladder, and put the internal organs down.
“Do you have anything to place it in?”
He brought me a tub.
Cut the ribs and pelvis with a swiss army knife (* 1), open them from the left to the right, insert your hand and cut the diaphragm with a hunting knife, and drop all the internal organs and a large amount of blood into the tub.
Make a cut on the limbs and peel the skin with a knife.
“Shin, you’re good …”
“It’s amazing.”
“Yeah, he’s a real hunter. He doesn’t look like a human bandit or a spy.”
Does such dangerous people come to this village?
Pull off the peeled skin to remove it.
“People with skin–!”
“Oh, I want it–“
“Forefoot”
“Mind you?”
“One more.”
“I wish I could get it”
“Hind legs … must be behind …”
I tie a rope to the leg and hang it upside down.
“It’s steak tonight!”
I was in good shape and distributed more and more, and suddenly I remembered.
“Oh, was it divided with Saran?”
Saran laughed.
“Okay, I can’t say I can’t say no even though I’m here too.”
“Then, I’ll give of the back loin”
“Should you and I share the two?”
“That’s the best place’s there!”
Saran is a kid … I hit the child’s head.
“It’s natural because I caught it with Shin! Don’t hesitate a little!”
It’s a pity that the deer was almost only bones, but the children cut the ribs and brought them with them.
“It’s good to bake this and suck it again.”
It’s good, isn’t it? Spare ribs.
“Come on, I’ll show you my home.”
“Is that ok?”
“There is no place for you to stay anyway.”
“That’s right …”
Am I going to a woman’s house? Is this okay?
“Well, Saran shouldn’t worry.”
“I mean, if you can manage Saran, that’s great.”
“I’m praying for you, brother”
Some men have been beaten by up Saran-san.
I’m scared.
“For the time being, I’ll feed you something.”
Saran’s house was a small house on the outskirts of the village.
A studio with logs. I live crouching down.
“Well, should I just bake it for the time being?”
“Thank you. I’ll leave it to you.”
“The meat I caught today is still too hard to eat (* 2), so I’ll treat you with the one I caught three days ago.”
“Oh, if that’s the case, I’ll give you my share of today’s meat. I can’t have it.”
“Hmm, then I’ll keep it.”
With that said, she opened the floorboards and put the meat inside there. Is that room a storeroom? It might be something magical. Cold air was being transmitted from it.
“Is that magic !?”
“That’s right”
“Cooling magic?”
“Yes.”
“Can you do that !?”
“Every elf can do magic. It seems that humans are not good at it.”
“I can’t do it at all”
“Is that so?” she said and returned happily.
What a simple person!
Charcoal is raised and ignited in the hearth in the middle of the room.
“Can you use the magic of fire …”
“Basic basics. Anyone can do it. If it’s an Elf. “
“Huh ……”
I’m very proud of it.
“I wish I had salt”
“Salt…”
Can I buy it with the6magic bag?
I don’t like salt alone, so can I buy something nice?
“Soy sauce.”
Rustling.
“Grilled meat sauce”
Rusting.
Is it no good?
“Salt and pepper.”
Something came out!
A small bottle of Salt and pepper!
Is this barbecue supplies? Do you sell this to outdoor shops?
Was it okay to have barbecue sauce? Whatever.
By the way, money was automatically deducted from the cash that I stored earlier.
“…What are you doing? Did you always have that bag?”
“Don’t worry. I have salt.”
“Yes — !!”
“Is salt a valuable commodity?”
“It’s very precious.”
“That’s good. Let’s sprinkle this on and cook it.”
Cut the packaging, open the lid, and sprinkle it on the meat that Saran was cooking in a frying pan.
“It’s in a unique container… and it’s very fine salt.”
“It also contains pepper.”
“Pepper?”
“It’s a seasoning that can be found in the South.”
“Hmm …”
I had it served on a plate.
“Then, thank you for the blessings of the mountains at the end of the day.”
Is that the Elven style?
“Thank you for the blessings of the mountains at the end of the day.”
There is no fork. I will have to eat it directly with a knife.
“Good!”
“It’s good.”
“No, this seasoning is messed up! It’s amazing Shin!”
“I’m glad”
“The humans are eating good food …”
Saran is overjoyed.
“A little came out. Eat.”
“Yes.”
“Lend it to me.”
“Here you go.”
After that, Saran-san went to each house and sprinkled salt on the grilled meat.
It was so delicious that everyone was surprised.
I wonder…
With great fanfare, I pulled 20 Salt and peppers from my magic bag.
“Please give one to each household.”
“Is that okay?”
“It’s a thank you for your help today.”
“Thank you!”
She was overjoyed and went out again.
It was good.
“Shin is … what are you going to do now?”
“… Actually, I have no idea …”
“Do you have a family?”
“No.”
…… In this world.
“Then, you’re the same as me …”
Saran sleeps on a grass-woven mattress with fur.
I got only fur and slept on the floor.
The love gun M870 is being disassembled and cleaned.
“If you go to the city of humans, you can live somehow, right?”
“That may be the case”
“But the city of humans is far away …”
“Is it unusual for humans to come to this city?”
“Sometimes merchants come by. And sometimes bandits and kidnappers. That’s it.”
Saran said so and yawns.
“What was Shin doing before?”
“I was a hunter, and I was doing it as a service to the city.”
I’m a government employee and a hunter.
“If so, it would be okay for you to stay in this village …”
“I wish I could be there, but it’s an elf village, I’m a human being, will I have a job?”
“You should be a hunter. You have good weapons and you have great magic tools.”
After assembling my favorite M870, I cover it and lay it next to me.
“Actually, I can’t continue without making money.”
“There is no money in the elf village? Only humans exchange money.”
“Therefore, I can’t stay forever …”
“I see……”
“There is a job you can do here …”
Is it extermination of vermin?
Let’s get started tomorrow.
“Shin Come on!”
“Yes.”
“If you don’t come, you can just stay there.”
“……Thank you”
…….
Gusuu .
“Don’t cry”
“Why do you trust me so much?”
“No good hunter is bad.”
“Why so.”
“Bad guys do bad things with their weapons. They’re not hunters.”
“… Maybe.”
“Let’s go hunting together tomorrow. There are still deer.”
“Yes. By all means.”
“Good night.”
“Good night.”
I heard her quiet breathing.
I was prepared for snoring, but I’m glad.
―――― Author’s comment ――――
* 1. When disassembling, the ribs and pelvis must be cut and broken to remove the internal organs. Many people use a saw or a saw with a sturdy knife, but the saw that comes with the Swiss Army knife can easily cut it.
* 2. Freshly caught meat is usually hard and hard to chew, whether boiled or baked. It is usually not eaten until it has been refrigerated for several days and aged.
