"I want to eat meat!"
The day after the dragon attack, I burst into my mind. Varena looks at me with cold eyes, clinging to dog food.
"What's that eye!"
"Wow ......... Wow ......... Wow ......... Wow ..."
"Hey, ignore me, Varena-chan?"
"Gafu-fu-fu ... During a meal ... Rikari-ri ... Please don't talk."
"... yes, sorry"
This support dog named AI will endlessly become arrogant. It may be time to clarify the hierarchy. Well, that's a story. I don't care about such a dog. The most important thing now is that I want to eat meat!
In the first place, yesterday, it was supposed to be found yesterday in a cloud fish of rumor. Not only did they escape due to the dung dragon, but the fish that sensed the danger of breathing disappeared completely from their surroundings. As a result, I couldn't catch any fish and had to eat dog food.
In order to heal the sorrow, I was watching a drama on the theme of cooking in a hologram image, and a very delicious steak meat came out. The appearance of red meat, as beautiful as ruby, baked on a steel plate with a sizzle of jujube was enough to spread the taste of meat in your mouth just by looking at it.
Umm ~ I am hungry just by remembering.
Anyway, when I saw that steak meat, I decided to eat it. However, there are no livestock to feed the ship. Then what to do? The answer is easy.
Hunt! Hunt down to the ground!
I decided quickly and got the equipment I needed. First, long-range weapons. It uses a pistol called the Photon Repulsor that was on board. A high-frequency knife is used for close combat and meat demolition work. The two are pretty dangerous and have been trained in advance.
Also, I will bring a small gravity controller and a medical bag. A small gravitational control in the form of a bracelet is a versatile and superior device that can do almost anything on its own. Probably, he will be the most active in this hunt.
Well, we are ready. The hunting ground we are aiming for is a forest of lost fire, located just below Toyokumo. I've been there many times, but there's a rock boa where edible monsters live and it's a great place to get meat.
Standing on the deck, checking the planned descent point, and activating a small gravity control device to dive, Hyohyoko Ballena came.
"Captain Quito, where are you going?"
"Where are you, so go get the meat. Hunt! Hunt!"
"Hoo. I'll do my best. I expect souvenirs."
When I tried to leave, I grabbed Varena, and I caught a glance from behind.
"Where are you going, Varena? Let's hunt together!"
"No, I refrain, I need someone who stays on the boat."
"Sure, remote control would be fine."
"No, no, but ..."
"I'm coming! You're coming too! Come and help hunt!"
While holding the ballerna, I quickly remove two telescopic oxygen masks from the medical bag and equip them to myself and the ballerina. Then he jumped off the back of the toy spider without any signal.
"No, oh, oh, oh, oh!"
On a sudden dive from high altitude, Varena screams, tearing silk. This guy, yes, personality setting was a woman. The usual screams of the ballerina were to lower my drinking.
Above all, it is fun to break through the clouds at a blazing speed and fall to the ground. Of course, it cannot fall down and become the stain on the ground, and the small gravity control device set in advance automatically activates and slows down the falling speed.
The speed slowed as the altitude decreased, and when it reached zero, the fairy was able to land brilliantly into the forest as if it were floating on the surface of the water.
I remove the mask and breathe the lush air of the forest. The clear air above the sky is not bad, but the lively air of the forest is not bad either. Beside me, breathing deeply and enjoying the air of the forest, the ballerina was round as dead. I smile and stroke my back. Then he turned his grudge.
"... Captain Quito, I'd like you to refrain from such rough handling in the future."
"It's bad. Look, use your nose to find your prey."
"... Huh, I understand."
A sigh of sighs, the ballerina stands and walks, sniffing the ground. After all, there is only a wolf, and it seems that my nose works properly. He walks carefully through the woods, guided by his swaying tail.
The season is only in early summer, and the leaves buzzing in the wind are lush everywhere. From the gap between the dense and overgrown trees, a sweaty cheer falls. There are no other adventurers around. When I decided to hunt, I expected to come across them, but it is unlikely.
As he was healed by the cool breeze and the birdsong, the ballerina suddenly stopped and raised his nose. Apparently, he found his prey in the distance.
"Is it found?"
"Yes. I smell the wild beast from here."
"I'm downwind, so don't worry, you know what a beast?"
"I don't know the details, but it smells sweet and powdery."
"It's the smell of the rock-bore odor glands."
This is just the time of the estrus of Rock Boa. The male rock bore emits a sweet smell from the odor glands around the navel to lure the female.
"Ok, this is your prey. Let's go carefully."
From there, go forward with no extra foot so that you do not realize the sign. Eventually, I saw an open place in front of my eyes. I hide behind a tree so I can't see it from there, and the ballerna squats low.
Was. Rock Boa. A wild boar with rock-hardened skin, the origin of its name, digs up the ground with its nose and eats insects or mushrooms.
The monster class of Rock Boa is D. Although not without danger, it is also a relatively easy game to hunt. However, the escape foot was not ordinary and fast, so he had to be absolutely unaware.
The distance between each other is thirty steps. The other side is turning away. I pulled out the photon repulsor from my waist belt to make no noise, and aimed at the rock-bore torso.
This photon repulsor is a gun that emits charged particles. Although it is a size that can be handled with one hand, the power is extremely large. Shooting at full power will make it easier to kill even the Gran Holy Dragon you've met.
Of course, it is not necessary to use the maximum output as in the case of the lock bore, and it is already set to the lowest value. Nevertheless, if you hit it directly, it will surely be fatal over the thick outer skin.
I repeated my breath as thin as a thread and raised my concentration.
But the moment I tried to shoot-
"What are you guys !? Please go there!"
Suddenly, a shouting shout of a girl was heard.
"Buhi !?"
Rock Boa was amazed by his voice and rushed out like a rabbit.
"Bad! Ballena!"
In response to my voice, Varena jumps out in front of Rock Boa. I wondered if this would impede the course, but how Rock Bore turned right at right speed and disappeared into the bushes.
"Shit! I've escaped!"
I'm sorry that I step on the ground.
"I was sorry, Captain Quito."
"Oh no, but that's good now."
"Yeah, you are right"
We nodded at each other and hurried to where we could hear the girl scream.
