988 Episode 0988



"...as I expected, Bune is the only one among us who will be able to fight."

 Bune, who was hollowing out Cyclops' single eye, is proud of the words he uttered with his sigh.

"Yes!"

 though the breast of the child, Bune, was more gentle than those of Mileine and Johanna, let alone the magnificent mountain range of Vihelas.

"Oh, I'll be able to strip the material off in my own way, I suppose?"
"There's a lot of meat on the cyclops' skin.

 Rey tells Vichela as she turns her eyes to the ripped-off Cyclops skin.
 There was literally quite a bit of flesh stuck to the skin.
 If you take them to guilds and shops as they are, you'll definitely get a lot of buying spanking for poor handling.

(However, it was Vihela who got this cyclops out of course.) All I get is magical stones, and if Vihela is going to work as an adventurer in guillem, it might be a good idea to practice stripping here. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

 When Vichela was originally acting in the labyrinthine city of Egzil, she was working with Bune.
 Bune was also better at stripping the material, so Bune shared the roles of stripping the material and Vihela shared the roles of guarding the surrounding area.
 ...and usually robbers look out for themselves.

"Well, Mile Dogs and Johanna will help me when it's over, and that's no problem, right? Just do what you can."
"...huh,"

 Bune looks at Vihela's words.
 Vichela, who had known Bune for a long time, noticed a feeling of stupidity in her gaze.
 By this kind of gaze, Viehla is a little unusual for Viehra, but again, with a knife in her hand, she runs her blade to cut the skin off the cyclops' arms.
 In this case, the peeling arm of the Vihela may not be high, but it may also be influenced by the cyclops being able to peel it off.
 Cyclops bragging about their strength of arms are naturally muscular, making it difficult for their skin off.
 Therefore, when you cut off the skin, you can't cut the muscles well, and the skin gets fat.

"Well, I can't talk about people either,"

 Ray's cut skin has some flesh, if not as much as Vihela's.
 Another... the Miller Dogs and Johanna's eyes turned to the dismembered Cyclops, where they were dismembered at such a rate as might be described as force.

"It's early over there,"
"...there's only one Bune in the main battle, so it can't be helped."
"I'm practicing stripping, too,"
"Should I do it myself?"

 While Bune skillfully pulled out Cyclops' single eye, cut corners and peeled skin, Ray and Vihela only did one on each hand.
 It depends on the monster, but the hardest thing to do when dismantling is still.
 If things don't go well, it will take two or three times to process the meat, just like Vihela.
 and if you don't separate the meat from the skin...

"Ah,"

 As Vihela has done, you end up tearing up the skin.

"Yes!"

 When Bune saw it, he gave a scolding cry.
 Ray isn't as bad at stripping as Vihela, but he's never as good.
 By dismantling the cyclops like that, the disintegration of the Miredogs and Johanna's is finished, depending on the number of people and their abilities.

"Ray, I'm done here, so I'll help you."

 Johanna and others nod to the Mire Dog, who tells her this way, and gather at the Cyclops, where the Reys are stripping off.

"I'm sorry,"
"Don't worry, I had my life saved yesterday, and that's all I need. and the sooner we finish stripping, the more time we have to play with Seto."

 There is no doubt that the latter is clearly more true than the former, given the usual behavior of Mileine and Johanna.

"Why don't you let us dismantle it, and Ray put it in an item box?"

 The facial expression he showed a few seconds ago quickly faded, and where the Mileine looked, there was no more neatly disassembled cyclops material.
 The single eye is neatly placed in a special container, collecting all the selling parts such as horns, bones, streaks, meat, skin, and internal organs, and digging holes for parts that cannot be used.
 Having done so much while the lays were struggling to peel off the cyclops, the speed of each other's stripping... and the politeness of the stripping was evident.

"That's great. As expected of the rank C party.

 Rank B adventurer Ray mutters admiringly.
 Deciding that the incineration of the material in the hole is acceptable even after the treatment of the other cyclops is finished, the material is touched and stored in the mistling.
 Because it is a cyclops material that is about 4 meters tall, there are many parts such as meat and bones.
 Still, you only need to touch it to store everything in the mistling, so it takes a few minutes to finish storing everything in the mistling.

"It's over. ... That's pretty early."

 Ray should have taken his eyes off the cyclops for only a few minutes, but before he knew it, the cyclops that Ray and Vihela had been struggling with had drastically progressed in this short time.

"That's true," The first cyclops was the first time it was ripped off, so it was a bit slow, but it was the second time after that. and Mr. Ray, Mr. Vichela, and Mr. Bune have made some progress."

 A former member of the squad says so, pulling out the tendon of his foot with a knife.
 They started stripping it off without bleeding, so it would be a pretty creepy sight from the side with blood on its cheeks.

(Would it be quicker for me to leave the stripping to the Mile Dogs, and concentrate on bleeding?)

 There are several pieces of meat on the ground, and there is also a strong rusty smell of blood.
 Ray has seen the disintegration of chickens, rabbits, deer and bears caught by hunters when he was in Japan since he was a child, so he is originally resistant to it, and he has had his sense of the area conformed to Elgin by Zepyle, so I don't care about it.
 But if there were any Japanese here who knew nothing, they would certainly scream at the sight.
 It was such a sight from the sidelines, but for adventurers, stripping off monsters is a daily occurrence.
 Even the child Bune was not particularly frightened at the sight...no, glad to see that it would be a valuable material for sale at a high price, albeit hard to tell from the side, but he was thrusting a knife into Cyclops'
 Vichela had already received an out-of-war notification, carrying pieces of meat and bones cut by Mireinu and Johanna and putting them all together in one place.
 Although some people wondered if it was acceptable for the princesses of the Vestian Empire to behave this way, Vihela herself works without any particular concern.
 In Egzil, it was not uncommon for Bune to carry the material of a monster that had been dismantled, so we are used to it.

"First of all, I'm going to get the next cyclops out and drain my blood, and some of you can come and help me."
"Oh, then I'll help you,"

 Eclil, who had taken out the cyclops' internal organs, says so, and some others turn to Ray.
 It is because we have decided that if we continue to remove the blood without draining it, our body will get wetter with blood than it is now.
 This time it was said that the material was being stripped off, but many people still wear some sort of protective gear as long as they go out of the guillem.
 If such protective equipment is stained with blood, it takes time to wash.
 That being the case, it was only natural that they would not want to increase the amount of effort they had if possible.

"All right, then... well, that's right." Do you use that tree?"

 There are several ways to bleed, but the easiest way is to turn the body upside down and bleed naturally.
 However, this time, the material is being peeled off by cyclops, who are nearly 4 meters tall, and it is not easy to remove blood by tightening the birds around them.
 The thickness of the branches is also important because they are hung from trees higher than the cyclops.

(If I could cut the carotid artery right after I killed him, it would be the easiest way to bleed. Or is there a river nearby, or is it possible to sink it into the river and run? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

 Thinking this way, Ray invokes Slapnil's shoes and kicks them through the air to the branches of the tree.
 Despite the surprise of first-time visitors to Slapnil's shoes, Ray takes the rope out of the mistling, believing that he will be able to firmly catch the weight of the cyclops when he comes up to a branch about 5m high without particular concern.
 Hang it on a branch and go down to the ground.

"Help me,"

 Pulling out a body of Cyclops from the Mistyling and calling out to the Eccles, the rope is repeatedly wound to the Cyclops' feet to secure its grip.
 The work is done in minutes, and the cyclops are hung upside down by pulling the ropes from the branches together.
 The last time I cut the carotid artery of the cyclops with a knife, the next moment blood gushed out of it.

(As expected, my heart must have stopped long after I died, but it is impossible for a wild animal to burst out like this. It's too late, but monsters seem to have a very special body.)

 While questioning the difference between monsters and wildlife, Ray looks around for thick and tall branches to drain the next cyclops..."Roll-roll-roll-roll!"

 Seto's voice suddenly echoes around him.
 Everyone here would have understood that it was not the usual spoiled cry.
 In the first place, the present set isn't playing, it's watching out for that matter.

"Beware of the surroundings!"

 Ray's voice echoes and everyone immediately goes on alert.
 My experience as an adventurer must have been telling.
 Ray tries to retrieve his usual death size from Mistilling, but looks around him... when he sees faces like Mireinu and Johanna, he changes his weapon to a thorn spear.
 I would have used death size if it was a battle alone or with Seto, but with a lot of friends around me, this place is certainly not big.
 Because of this, the death size, which was mainly attacked by mowing off, was often inconvenient to use here.
 Considering the appropriate weapon in the present situation, the first thing that comes out is a spear.
 ...it seems to have something to do with Ray's preferences and chemistry that he chooses long-handled weapons instead of long swords and daggers.

"Who, then?" Seulnin, protect this material."

 When the Miredog gets in the way of stripping, he draws the dagger from a distance and directs Sulnin.
 Sulnin also holds a cane in his hand, nods small, and heads to the place where the cyclops material he just peeled off.
 It was very suitable to stay somewhere and use magic from there, since Sulnin, who was a wizard and could hardly fight close to begin with.
 Several people with bows also come to Surnin's side from Ekrill and the former squad.
 Mileine and Johanna stood in front of each other to protect the rearguard, and naturally Ray and Vihela were among them.
 and for a few seconds I heard the sound of forcefully raking through the bushes, and each of those present turned their weapon towards the sound...

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh! d*mn it! What's going on here! It's just a request to kill Cobold!"
"Do you know! Run! I'm chasing you from behind!"

 With such a voice, two men burst out of the bushes.
 The leather armour you wear has countless scratches, large and small, and there are several small cuts on your hands, feet and face, though there are no deep scratches.
 The two men stop moving for a moment when they see the Reyes suddenly appearing in front of them... when they decide that they are not monsters, they scream with a feeling of relief.

"Oh, help me! We're being attacked by monsters!"
"It's a covolt, but it's not just a covolt!"

 Screaming as they rushed out of the bushes, the men hurriedly approached them and screamed.
 As if to prove his words, several Cobolts sprang out from behind... Ray was fascinated by the weapons of one of them.
 Clearly unlike other Kobolt weapons, the long sword is as good as new.
 That alone would have been the weapon that had been taken from travelers and adventurers.
 But... when I saw the long sword, it was the hammer of a magic item that Cyclops had in his mind.
