Living in this World with Cut & Paste

Episode 06: Buying Oak

I was able to defeat an unexpected and powerful enemy, Orc, and I was able to feel a little more confident in the fight.

And once again, I realize the usefulness of something called skill.

"Only the skills I've gained since yesterday can get me this far... I wonder what happens if I get more skills"

Unexpectedly, words overflowing from your mouth.

We also found that monsters have skills and abilities.

You can't get skills from the people in town, of course, but if a monster is against you, you don't hesitate.

Take away and weaken your skills, use them, and defeat monsters.

Maybe I'd rather be an adventurer than a hunter.

There are certain types of monsters you will encounter if you continue to hunt.

Naturally, the skills gained will eventually be lost.

But how about an adventurer? Probably will encounter various monsters to accomplish the request.

That is nothing more than making myself stronger.

The policy of ”becoming a hunter” decided yesterday began to shake heavily when he defeated a formidable enemy named Oak.

"Unfortunately, let's end the demolition of the oak. If you don't do it fast, the smell of blood will catch you and the other monsters will come."

Again, proceed with the demolition of the oak as you put it in your mouth.

[Cut] is used continuously and more and more dismantled.

I can't put all the material in a storage bag just for the oak that I think weighs more than 100 kg.

Because there's not enough capacity at all.

I decided to throw away the ravioli material that I knocked down earlier, only sorted the areas that would be the money for the oak, and put it in a storage bag.

"... this is gonna have to buy a bigger bag of capacity"

Up to a full capacity, add oak ingredients and hurry home.

Here too [leg strength enhancement/small] and [handsome feet (small)] are great.

It was proceeding to a much deeper place than usual, but quickly leaves the woods and arrives at the back gate of the town.

Greet the familiar gatekeeper as he presents his residence card and enter the town.

And all the way to the usual familiar butcher.

"Hi Uncle -!

"Whoa? Boy, did you bring the rabbit?

My uncle smiled and replied.

"Eh heh, it's actually amazing today!

I proudly leave the oak meat on the shopping table.

"... oh boy, this... is that oak meat?

I seem surprised by the boulder, I'm a little happy.

"Yeah, I am. Thanks to the skills I gave yesterday at the temple, I managed to get rid of them!

"Seriously, well, the kid was an adult, too. How dare you defeat an oak? You've given me such great skills... I have to thank God."

By the way, in general, it is manners not to ask about the skills of others.

Skills that are easy to understand if used in front of you will be understood, but it is implicitly understood to pretend not to notice there.

Especially if you're publicly advertising your powers like a king.

"Yeah, you are! I have to thank you."

While we were having that conversation, I finished serving all the parts to sell as meat.

I'll sell it to the alchemist later.

By the way, the oak meat is actually quite expensive, it tastes very tasty and it tastes like a pig.

Pigs are delicious and popular meat too, but oak tastes better with oil on it than that.

Because they don't bring it in for it, it's inevitably higher.

I have about 40 kg of such oak meat.

I'm excited to see how much it's going to cost.

"Hmm, you're doing a good job of dismantling it. 40kg...... I'll buy it for the kid's bar mitzvah"

So my uncle thought a little and gave me one gold coin and 23 silver coins.

Awesome! If it was a raven, selling one would only be 3 copper coins!

By the way, it's worth the same as one silver coin for 10 copper coins, one gold coin for 100 silver coins, and one white gold coin for 100 gold coins.

My daily earnings up to yesterday were roughly 8 copper coins to 1 silver coin.

So I would have earned 123 days just to sell one oak.

"Well, it's a celebration today, remember, the next thing you know, the oak is 1 kg and three silver coins."

"Yeah, okay! Thanks Uncle!"

I thanked my uncle and I went to the alchemist next.

"Hello -!

The alchemist is a couple, it was my husband who responded to my voice.

Is your wife away?

"Oh, Mr. Mine! Hello."

He returns his greetings as he always nicks.

He's a very nice brother.

"Um, I brought oak material today, not medicinal herbs!

When I say that, your brother's smile turns into something that caught his eye for a moment. [M]

"Ma, Mayne, did you defeat the oak?

"Yeah! Thanks to the skills I gave you yesterday!

Like my uncle at the butcher's shop, your brother remembered that I had grown up, and I was convinced.

"Well, try to get the material out"

I took out the guts I didn't serve in the butcher and the testicles I put in the bottle, the eyeballs, and the demon stones and put them on the buying table.

The Demon Stone, by the way, is a small stone contained in the heart of the Demon Clan, accumulating a lot of magic.

It is also used in alchemy, as well as other alternatives to magic prop fuel.

It's the most expensive material for shopping at the store.

"Heh, you dismantled it well, I'd buy this high...... that one? What happened to the bones? Orcs can buy bones, too, right?

"... I threw it away, it didn't fit in the storage bag..."

Yes, the storage bag has a capacity of only 50 kg compared to the total weight of the oak of 100 kg.

Naturally, I couldn't bring anything that would make me nervous or cheaper, and I threw it away where it had been dismantled.

"... I see, it's definitely the guy your father had, isn't it? Would that make it about 50 kg?

With that said, your brother seems to be thinking of something.

"I can't believe it, let's finish the shopping, the guts are all 8 silver coins, the testicles are 20 silver coins, and the eyeballs are 4 silver coins. The Demon Stone is a piece of gold."

Looks like you can buy it for more than I thought, and I need to thank your brother.

"By the way, Mr. Mine, how much do you have now?

Your brother asks abruptly.

"... they bought one gold coin and 23 silver coins at the butcher's shop"

When I say that, your brother thinks again.

"Then right now, two gold coins and 55 silver coins... All right, Mr. Mine, can we hunt three more orcs? If you hunt me, Mine, I'll trade it for a 10t storage bag along with the two gold coins you have right now."

When it comes to storage bags of 10t, it should be luxury items that cost more than 10 pieces of gold, no matter how many oaks you've hunted, it's not very much, but it won't arrive.

Asking your brother about it was somehow convincing.

Whatever, they say the oak is so strong that it's tough to hunt solo safely if you don't have the rank of Adventurer and the ability to be above C level.

But it seems the buyout price is pretty low for a C-level adventurer to fight.

If an adventurer below level D tries to hunt, he really doesn't seem to have to hunt for more than one person, even though the cheap reward is cut off by the number of people and it doesn't taste good at all.

That's why constant crusade requests seem to be a small number brought in for the constant crusade requests out there.

But it seems that the testicles in the material will actually be the ingredients for the fortifier, and this is what the nobleman always wants, so the oak wants to buy any situation.

In the meantime, a rookie appeared who could defeat the oak with a solo.

However, because of the storage bag capacity, it is not possible to bring the material satisfactorily.

If, then, you bring the oak stably even if you offer a large storage bag cheap, the benefits accrue to your brother as well.

Besides, if we had known each other for a long time, it was only natural to cooperate.

Finally, he said it included a bar mitzvah for me.

If that's the case, I've decided to accept your brother's terms.

"Okay! Oak, I'm gonna get you!

After smiling satisfied with my reply, I brought a small black bag from the back of the store.

"Well, I'll give it to you first. If you keep it first, you can bring it even if you hunt two or more of them, right?

I guess it's because I've known him since he was a father that he trusts me to give it to him first.

Thank you for accepting the favor.

"Thank you! You bring it early!

My brother told me to be careful and send me away with the usual smile.
