Q: What are the monsters of this world like?
A: The monsters of this world vary by habitat and region. In a place where nature is abundant, the monsters will be accordingly adapted to the surroundings. Similarly in cold regions, monsters will have cold resistance, and so on.
It is said that the Once region doesn’t have particularly strong monsters, but of late, monsters have started wandering out of their usual habitats into other regions. That too in large numbers.
TN: Really sorry for the delayed release. Have been really behind with many things this past week, including translations. Will try to make it up over the weekend!
Mm? Who is it? Once again I can hear that same crystal clear female voice in my head.
Aah, I can feel my consciousness fading away. Just who are you?
N? huh? Euvis? Oh, that’s right. We’d come into this wide open meadow upon exiting the forest. We were all exhausted, so we just slept out in the open overnight. Waking up outside the forest was a little disorienting.
Having left the forest, what lay before us was this wide expanse of grassland with no towns or villages in sight, but rather a herd of deer, some buffalo, hellhounds….wait hellhounds?
At any rate, our current goal is to meet people from this world, wherever they are. If we meet some people we can talk to, perhaps we can learn something about this world. To that end, we ought to get going.
Just as I was about to stand up when I felt a loud rumble in my stomach. Oh right, we hadn’t eaten anything since we’d arrived in this world.
Ama and Euvis were struggling to wake up Yushiris and Gakuto who were still asleep. The only one who seems to be free is Dan.
How about I invite Dan to go hunting for breakfast with me?
I forcibly drag Dan along with me.
We had to walk some distance, so I decided to ask Dan about his powers along the way.
And just like that, his info was sent over to my System.

【???】
【???】
Aah I see. Dan’s abilities are to do with search and analysis. These are indeed useful abilities that can help us all. No doubt it has great potential, but is it particularly strong? I doubt it. As I was thinking such things, Dan grabbed my sleeve and pulled me behind a bush.
Dan pointed to a lone deer that had strayed from the herd, drinking water at a pond.
As I was preparing to fire off my skill, I stepped on a twig. The loud crack sent the deer running.
Seeing me on the verge of tears, Dan pats my shoulder and proudly hits his chest. Walking a little further, we spotted the same deer that escaped earlier.
Dan takes out a well sized pebble from his shirt pocket. I’m astonished.
「Leave it…ta me!」
<<Activated: 【Asymmetric Eyes】>>
Dan right eye turns red, while his left eye turns blue.
The stone Dan threw flew in a straight line and hit the deer right on the head, causing it to collapse from the concussion.
Maximising the potential of even the smallest attacks. Perhaps Dan’s ability is pretty powerful in its own way.
The two of us carried the deer back to where the others were.
When we got back, everyone was up. Euvis came running to welcome us.
Gakuto carried a large amount of firewood over. Now that’s more like it! You sure work fast.
We arranged the firewood Gakuto prepared so we could start cooking.
-said Ama, looking bitter.
Yushiris reluctantly sticks his hand out.
<<Activated: 『Great Flame』>>
Saying so, A small flame appears on the firewood. It really is convenient.
Saying this, Yushiris handed me a thin but fairly shard and hard stone.
In response to my question, everyone turned away.
Just when thought that from the bottom of my heart, The System responds.
<<The following abilities have been created and acquired by utilising 【Ability Production】>>
Skill Name: 【Skinning : Extreme】
Type: Everyday Skill
Details: The knowledge and technique to acquire meat and materials from animals and monsters.
The ‘Extreme’ buff makes it possible to skin animals and monsters even without appropriate tools.
I looked at the deer we’d brought over. Then The System immediately started it’s analysis within moments, the parts of the deer to be cut were clearly displayed in my vision, in the form of ‘cut here’ guide lines. I approached the deer and used the sharp stone to cut the deer, as per the guide line. When the sharp edge of the stone pierces the deer’s hide, it cuts right through as if it were a utility knife. I silently cut out the edible parts of the deer. Yushiris and the others just stood behind, quietly watching me with dumbfounded expressions.
And thus I finished the dismantling in about 10 minutes.
The extracted deer meat is reddish-brown and rather grotesque looking when raw. To see a young girl holding that meat in her right hand was quite a spectacle.
-I say as I try to hand the meat to Yushiris.
He eventually takes the meat unwillingly and skewers with an iron rod he found, then proceeds to roast the meat over the fire.
Thus we enjoyed a quick meal together. Just plain barbequed venison. Naturally it was unseasoned, so it was unsurprisingly rather bland, though it had a rather pungent smell. It wasn’t so bad that it made it inedible, so surely due to hunger, we all just ate it quietly without any complaints.
Euvis slumps down in exhaustion.
I can’t see anything in the direction Dan is pointing. Is being able to sense living creatures one of his abilities? Well, it’s not like we can stay here for long. I put out the fire with my feet.
Then I shout out-
Leaving just the bones of the deer behind, we started walking.
TN: So the six of them have been walking through the forest for two days straight plus fighting n stuff without having eaten anything until now? Not even a mention of drinking water or needing to use the toilet ( I would’ve thought Kelt’s first time would be worth describing…)
Author-san isn’t being very realistic…
ok
Thanks for chapter
Thanks for the chapter!
Speaking of being realistic, where the heck he found an iron rod?!
That’s ain’t something you can find lying around right?
haha yea! when i first read it I was wondering the same thing
An iron rod is an indication of intelligent life, at a minimum level of the mideval ages. He found it randomly so it’s quite important as a civilization is nearby, destroyed or intact. But it also proves that there is intelligent life that can be communicated with even if they don’t speak the same language.
It’s not something that can be just brushed aside.
Iron in the shape of a rod is almost always cast iron, it being found in a forest randomly, guaranteeing the iron isn’t forged. This implies mass production which means there are multiple civilizations or a threat to the intelligent life. This means that these kids should be way more wary than they are as they could be mistaken as spies or unknowns, and the one thing all intelligent life on earth fear the most is the unknown. So much has been destroyed just because it was unknown to us. This is significant as it’s a possible threat to the characters lives.
well said! I didn’t think of it that deeply but you are right. Well, seeing that there was a grave in the forest and they encountered a ghost its safe to say there are people for sure, so perhaps the rod is also something abandoned in the forest by someone.
Still you are right, these 6 people are going about so casually and happy go lucky. It’s as if they think they are in a game
Kelt didn’t wash her hands, did she? That’s going to make for an interesting encounter when they find other people.
afaik no mention of her washing her hands. Probably something else the author chose to omit, like drinking water or answering the call of nature
Thanks for the chapter
