Today, it's a turtle dismantling show early in the morning.

　A huge turtle that was bled and muddied in a beautiful river overnight. But the shell was too tough for the villagers to dismantle it.

　That's why I was asked to dismantle it.

　All the villagers put the turtle on a big flat rock. Is this rock a substitute for a chopping board?　Because it is smaller than the shell, it looks like a turtle floating in the air, doesn't it?

　Now, as for the dismantling method, I couldn't dismantle such a large turtle with a saber either.

　Therefore, I equipped my boots, apron, mask and hood. And here I am with the electric saw.

　Today was Friday the 13th, or was it?　I'm not a fan of horror, but... well, it's an electric circular saw, not a chainsaw, so it's not very powerful. I looked around, but it was just the villagers and their friends. It looks like Urashima Taro is off, isn't it?

　Well, it's a land tortoise and it's already dead even if I tried to save it. If you can't go to the Dragon's Palace, you'd ignore it even if it was there... Well, the turtle won't disappear no matter how much you try to escape reality, so let's get on with it.

　An electric circular saw. There are home use models, but they are actually quite dangerous tools. It's not powered by batteries, but by an armored car. It has a lot of power and the rotation speed is very high. The blade is also for stone and even industrial diamonds are used.

　Moreover, there is a base plate that separates the target from the saw, but there is no safety cover. And yet, the object is curved and slippery. And the cutting power is of professional grade. The holes in the turtle's neck and tail where the legs were located are supported to prevent the carapace from catching the blade under the weight.

　Even so, if the turtle is pulled and loses its stance, or if it kicks back, it will be seriously injured.

　I've really only ever used it for home use!
　I'm scared!　I'm so scared!　Somebody help me!

　

　With that youth and skin glow, I don't think it's necessary, right?　Anyway, it looks like there's no way to escape.

　Preparing myself, I sat down and held the steering wheel firmly. I held the option lever firmly. It starts. The blade turns so fast that the villagers are surprised and shocked by the roar of surprise.

　One of the factors that make me want to cry. The cutting point is not underneath but to the side. Not only do I have to eat it, but I have to separate the carapace up and down, which is convenient for us ........though I think it's too acrobatic for a layman.

　Right now, I have a heavy machine gun. It was originally intended to be used in a fixed position, not to be shot from the hip. And it's a super-robust kid. If you lose control, the muzzle of the gun will bounce around, and you can't predict where the bullets will land, and you might even punch yourself in the face.

　That's what you think, and you get fired up.
　I'm not afraid of anything anymore!

　First, I cut to the left from where the neck was. So far, it is slow and there is no resistance. After cutting, I inserted the wooden board at regular intervals to prevent it from leaning. But I really want a cross-sectional drawing, I can't see the difference in thickness and position of the bones.

　Anyway, I proceed to work carefully.


The upper and lower division is completed safely.

　Nah, I managed to carve it out.

　Then my concentration ran out, and I sat down at the river's edge with the electric saw. There was no need for me to hold the electric saw, but my arms and fingers were frozen and couldn't move.

'Ryota, good job!　Now, the villagers are going to prepare the meat, among other things. They said that since we're guests, they should take their time while we finish cooking.... Ryota?　How long are you going to keep those tools on you?　Is that kind of a tool?

'My arms and fingers just froze and I couldn't let go. It's an extremely dangerous tool, and I was actually desperate.

　I don't have the energy to look good anymore.

　Midea untied her fingers one by one and took the electric saw off. After that, she also rubbed her arms, and while she was at it, her palms were niggling, niggling, niggling, niggling, niggling, niggling, niggling, niggling, niggling...

　It's soothing.... No, it's not right. No matter how much filial piety you have, this is not natural, is it?

"Thank you for your help, Midya. But I think it's about a shoulder or an arm for your father.　Even for a father and son, this one feels a little different.

Really?　My father was a bow!　I used to get asked to do this a lot because my fingers were so tired from using the bow. My fingers are stiff, and in this case, I'd say about 30 minutes.　Yes!　The watch Ryota gave you?　It's convenient, isn't it? I used to say it's about a quarter of an hour.

　.... suspicious, suspicious, but not overturnable without clear evidence!　I switched the conversation to the clock and the niggle is still going on.

It's still a lot easier now. I'm very grateful for your concern, but it doesn't suit my nature to force myself to do something I'm tired of. That's what the Ohnaka family has been doing.

　Doh!　If you think about it, it's not a request from Midia, but a concern. In other words, it's not a breach of promise to say no!

Hey, you're not pushing yourself at all, okay?　Rather, it's for me!　Because Ryota's weapon is a gun. If my hands and arms aren't moving well, I'm in danger if something happens, right?　Are you tired... can you make yourself as comfortable as your father was?　If I feel safe, it's over, okay?

　I want it to be me. Personal safety. A request that involved your father with an upward glance.

　Nice continuous combo....
　I can't say no to this!

'Yeah, well, it's your father's duty to make sure that Midia is safe. It's good because it's easy to posture, too. But only until you feel safe, okay?

　Quickly, Midia sat down beside me and leaned over, put her head on my shoulder and said [This is the comfortable position I've always been in].

　It's a lie!　The only time it's possible is if you happen to fall asleep on a train!

　More niggling increased in both hands, and although it was supposed to be 30 minutes, [still a little uneasy] there was no sign of it ending at all. My hands are already fluffy?

　What?　This life and death situation...

　The devil whispers to me that we should get married already. The angel stops me from making up my mind as soon as possible. It's too hard for a non-motivated old man...

　Eventually, the villagers giggled and laughed at us until the turtle dishes were laid out. In case you're wondering, the turtle dish tasted very similar to spoonfuls.

　After the meal, the villagers decided to do the initial treatment of the carapace as a thank you for the turtle meat. It seems to have been exterminated once in the past, and an elderly man remembered how to do it.

　We didn't know what kind of condition we wanted to sell them in. So this was very helpful. Thanks to the elderly people.

　The other thing I found out later is that the mithril shield in the example was penetrated by one shot. The mithril plate is a shoddy product, full of impurities due to its crude refining. Moreover, it is less than 1mm thick. Still, mithril, it is better to be able to sell it for a reasonable price.

　Trent wood is indeed flexible, strong and high quality with its branches and moving roots. But the trunk is no different from ordinary wood. And this one was the trunk. A piece of board has no commercial value.

　Either the baron just needed to look good, or he was tricked into jumping on the low price. If it's the former, fine, but if it's the latter, it's a big loss. If it's cheap, find out why it's cheap and then consider buying it for sure.
