Living in this World with Cut & Paste

Episode 05: Abilities and First Battle

Seems pretty tough to say I'm going to use [cut and paste] after all.

You're in a demolition room... No, wait. Now that you have more skills, why don't you act like a hunter?

[Dagger/Pole] [Handsome Feet (Small)] [Vision Enhancement/Medium] [Leg Enhancement/Small] If you use this area, you might be able to target the big guy as well, not a small animal like a rabbit.

... Yeah, you want to try it in that direction?

Even if this is new and more skilled, you won't find out because I'm the only one around...

Quick, let's go hunting tomorrow.

It's a big mess, but now that we're in the right direction, should we rest early after dinner?

With that in mind, I'm going to cook a qualitative dinner as usual.

I couldn't afford to shop today, just dried meat and black bread.

I didn't have that much either, so I finished eating light, but I think it tasted better than usual.

Maybe [cooking] worked?

I'd like to do something to improve my proficiency by repeating the dishes.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

In the morning, the area still woke up in the dim hours and began to prepare for the hunt quickly.

Equipped with a leather breastplate, leather handles and leather tibia, wear a dagger for demolition on the hips.

Usually, we set traps and capture small animals like rabbits, but today's aim is Forest Matton, the so-called sheep.

It's not that fast, but it's a monster that's been on the run until now, even though it's found because it's a sleeping attack and it's coming through with sharp corners.

It's just that it's a nasty thing to get, and it sells pretty high.

The meat is also crusty, but the flavour is strong, and the corners, hooves, etc. can be bought high as ingredients.

Life would be much easier if we could hunt this steadily.

Ready and excited for his first full-scale hunt, he heads from the town's back gate to the nearby woods.

"You're early today, be careful," the gatekeeper worried me.

I was able to feel the effects of my newly acquired skills on my way to the woods.

[Toshiba] Yes.

Just run lightly and you'll have a speed that you couldn't get out until now if you didn't walk all you could. And I don't have any shortness of breath.

Once again, I realized the usefulness and effect of a skill.

For that reason, we were able to reach our destination in no time.

"Here comes the real deal..."

Out of nervousness, or I accidentally put myself in the mouth.

Going through the woods carefully, I was there.

Name: Forest Rabbit

Race: Rubies

Gender: ”

[Ability]

None

It wasn't the sheep you were after, but it's a discovery by Mr. Lamb who takes care of you all the time.

...... hmm? What, you got unfamiliar words in your appraisal results?

Abilities?? What, that.

Let the appraisal take care of what you don't know.

[Ability]: Special moves that depend on the physique of the monster and the structure of the body, generally identified with skills.

... you mean the monster version of skills? From the description, do you mean monster specific skills?

If you're talking about physique or structure, maybe cutting it won't work with fumes.

I don't dare, I'm usually the one setting the trap, but do you want to fight from the front and see what you can do?

Take the dagger and stand in front of Forrest Rabbit.

Forrest Rabbit, who noticed me, jumped in anger!

While activating [Leg Enhancement/Small], he flinches himself and sticks out his dagger at the moment he turns himself away.

Piggy!

Watch Forest Rabbit fall to the ground in bloody blood as he hears the feel of cutting meat and the screams of Forest Rabbit.

She still seems to have breath, but she looks pretty deep and has pimply cramps.

I shake up my dagger and stick it up to my heart at once.

"Okay, I knocked him down!

Unravel the defeated ravioli with a [cut], surprised even by the fact that it was able to be defeated very lightly.

And let it go in the storage bag I brought.

This is also a tool that you can keep up to 50kg with the tools your father left you.

The creature cannot be put in, and after putting the prey in this way, if you forget, it will rot inside, but it is a very valuable tool.

Now, let's find Forrest Matton, the prey of fate.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

For about 20 minutes, I rolled through the woods and defeated two more ravens, but I can't find the sheep at heart.

When I was wondering what was going on, I saw a big black shadow walking with Nosonoso in the distance.

Using [vision enhancement/medium] and looking at the black shadow...... what an oak.

Speaking of orcs, it's a particularly man-shaped monster known as the Demon Clan.

He's a pretty nasty guy with vicious arms and strong skin.

And they are famous for capturing women of different races, committing crimes and breeding.

So it's a monster that people in town hate so much.

Honestly, I don't think I win well. [M]

Because my arm strength won't allow a dagger to pass through my hard skin.

Don't you dare, try to appraise it.

Name: Oak

Race: Demon Race

Gender: •

[Skills]

luxury wrist

[Ability]

Roaring

Mm, I have both skills and abilities.

Are you saying that the boulder has a different character than a rabbit?

Don't you dare, let's take away your skills.

Do you want to take the abilities and stick them to the trees around it?

It doesn't look like it can be used for fumes.

[AUTOMAN ARM]: Can activate any activated skill, at the time you want. When used, the arm strength is doubled. Once used, 30 minutes of cool time is required until the next use.

... Can we manage to take this down?

He's weakened because he took away his skills and abilities, and I feel like he could do something with his strong skin, which was my concern.

But bumping into each other directly from the front isn't a good idea, is it?

Oh, yeah! There was magic! I totally forgot because I never used it.

Magically put a blow in from behind, then let's fight.

If you decide to, turn around to the back of him, all the way.

"Fuck you!"

Scream in your heart to activate [Magic/Wind].

The magic of the wind flies to him as he cleaves the branches of the tree that are obstructing him to the oak.

Ga?

Oak noticed by the sound of cleaving the tree branches, I turned back to this one.

But I guess I couldn't handle the sudden, the wind magic landed on him brilliantly.

Gwwww!!

Now!

[Foot enhancement/small] and [handsome foot (small)] are utilized to jump into the pocket of the oak at once.

And he activated the [AUTOMAN ARM] he took from him and tore that big belly apart all at once!

Oak around the pain, wielding his arms in tears.

At one end, fall back and activate [Magic/Wind] again.

From close range, the magic of the wind struck directly at the torn belly, causing the oak to move visibly and dull.

He circled back into this gap and stabbed his dagger through his neck.

This seemed to have stopped him, and he collapsed after a loud international shout.

You knocked him out...?

For a while, I asked how it was, but it didn't even work with Pickle.

[Cut] So I can try to dismantle it, or it can't be used by creatures, so I can judge life and death.

... to say that it can be dismantled is to say that it has been defeated? Phew, that's exciting.

But I could take down the oak! I could have defeated the oak!!
