The reaction caught my [detection] only a few minutes or so after I killed Hobgoblin.

Two slightly bigger reactions than Vape Bear. They're approaching this way.

"I don't know if it's oak, but two reactions. Looks a little stronger than Vipe Bear."

"Then you're almost certainly an oak. More than a vape bear around here, because very much so much so that an auger is reported to Him."

The auger is overwhelmingly strong, so I shouldn't be sorry about 'somewhat', apparently.

"What do we do? We don't have much time."

I don't know if you're grasping this one, but a reaction that approaches this one almost straight.

The spare time would be about a few dozen seconds.

"Now let's deal with me and Toya. If it's not safe, I need backup."

"I get it. Be careful."

Toya and Natsuki step forward and put up their weapons, and Hulka leans back a little and sets up a bow. Me and Yuki put up weapons, but basically, we're ready for magic. "Fire Arrow" also has a short activation time, so you can use it as a restraint in case you're ready.

And I can see the oak...... different from what I imagined!?

As far as I was concerned, I pictured a demon like a pig walking on two legs, but the demon that showed up had fur.

My body is also tighter than I imagined, I am over 3 meters long and about the same as Vape Bear. It is like walking on two feet based on a pig.

He has fangs, albeit somewhat short, on his face, and is also close to a pig there.

Is it a replacement stick? I have a thick wooden branch on my hand, but it hardly looks processed. I don't wear clothes. As a result, the strawberries in the groin can be seen round, but unlike humans, the balls anyway, the rods are less noticeable.

Good. If we were in such a state of war, the women, of course, wouldn't want to come near us.

I wish I wasn't excited about the fight... or something.

"Looks like they noticed you over there."

"Right. I don't know at what point... smell?

I don't see any alarm from the way he approached me carefully with a stick. At least you must have noticed this one before you got into your sight.

Pigs have good noses enough to find truffles in the ground, too. Depending on the wind direction, I might be able to spot this one from a distance beyond my exploration area.

My distance approached, and the first thing that moved was nuts.

Put up the spear in a low position and pack the distance at once. Toya also pops out to chase right behind it.

Orcs that react to those two, but only slightly slower.

At the time he shook up the stick in his hand, Natsuki was already in range of attack and the spear was sticking out.

The tip dives under his chin and slips overhead to reveal a bloody cut. And, at the same time, the force falls out of the shaken hands and the stick rolls to the ground.

I guess there are some reasons to say Toya is not a long one. He jumped up in front of the other one and waved his sword down, but with a slight difference of time he is taken by the stick erected by the oak.

It dives into the middle of a thick stick, but it's a pretty sturdy tree, and it doesn't break.

Oak tries to swing that stick and fly Toya, but the well-timed Toya safely descends to the ground.

"Coverage!

"I don't want it!

Toya shouts so, pulling one step, the next moment, she shrinks her body all the way down and flies out with her left hand shield in front of her.

Ahead is the left foot of the oak. When I thought I hit it around my thigh, the sound of a broken branch called 'Baggi' coincides with the sound of 'Dogan', and the scream of the oak overlaps.

Toya, who turned behind him to slip through the side to the falling oak after disfiguring, stuck a sword behind the neck of the oak and instantly stabbed the stop.

"Brilliant."

Toya opens her mouth with a little remorse when I say that and slap her in the hand.

"No, I'm losing to Natsuki."

"No, because that's a weapon trait. A charge like Toya? I can't do that."

"Speaking of which, you've never seen Toya's proper [charge]"

"It also seems to affect the steps you take when you wave your sword, but in a pure sense, you do.... was more powerful than I imagined."

The femur supporting that giant is broken in a single blow.

The power of the joint is even worse because it is aimed from the side, not something like that, and the femur wrapped in the muscle is hit and folded directly from the front.

"I mean, Toya, what about that charge? Luckily it broke, so good, but whatever the timing, you're in a bad place. At least we need to aim for the joints."

"That's right. If you get stuck, you're gonna get a stick shot in the back?

Halka and Yuki, to the two damned out, Toya smiles with her head on.

"Yeah, you can't deny it when they say so. Experience fighting enemies with different physiques needs to build up."

"Well, maybe, you didn't have to use [charge] to win normally. Given the difference in stature, there was a chance that it could be stopped, and given the safety, there was only one."

"Well, well. It's my first fight with an orc, and Toya's got three backups, so that's the way to fight it, right? I think we'd fight more carefully if we weren't, huh?

"That's... yeah, I guess so"

If you say so, isn't it a bad thing to try it with a safety margin?

"But to be honest, you were weak on the outside, weren't you? Natsuki was one shot."

"Right, it works slow, and it wasn't very strong, but it might be reasonable, right?

"... what do you mean?

"My [Xu Ji] is Level 4, and Toya Kun is also [Swordsmanship] Level 3. If the skill level in this world is up to 10, I think we can consider it a pretty high level. By contrast, a bit of a strong enemy orc near here, even if you haven't met it yet but auger, is a weak enemy from the whole point of view. If you struggle on our level, there will be no one left to kill a truly powerful demon."

"Well, because of the concept of character level, I don't think you can simply compare skills level alone, but if you can fully demonstrate your skills, what Natsuki says is even more."

"I can use spears better than the first, even if I don't have a higher skill level."

Skill levels aren't going to get much better.

Well, I'm seriously training, but, you know, I've only done it for less than two months, so maybe it's natural. If it goes up in a few months or so, there will be no level 10 at best.

"Oh, by the way, I've got three bow levels, right?

"Oh, seriously? I've been practicing more than Halka, haven't I?

Is that it? Is it going up so easy?

Hulka just remembers more magic, but in training time, she should have had a higher proportion of magic than me...

"No, no, if that's what you're saying, I've been training swords for a long time, huh? At one time it was [bareback] training, but still much more training time than Hulka! But stay level 3!

"I can still figure that out because that's 3 to 4. But me and Hulka are on the same level 2. The same talent..."

Could the same 'talent' make a difference?

If you're a sports analogy, you could say you're talented if you want to be in a professional league, but you're not at the same level of talent as you can be in the Olympics, like.

"There's nothing to compare, is there? Toya got [Bar] relatively quickly, even without talent, and made it level 2."

"... is that so too"

Yeah. That even the original world knew there was no choice in self-loathing compared to weird.

"I'm supposed to spend more time studying, but I'm losing on grades! Why!" or so, I can't hang out with the Hulkas.

It is much more meaningful to honestly get advice or work hard before you think about it.

"Hey, we're not talking about that, let's dismantle it and go home. We don't have much time, do we?

"Whoa, right. Sorry."

Apologize to Yuki with his mouth pinched like a numb cut, and all proceed to dismantle the oak.

The amount of meat is also quite high because it is for 2 people in sizes larger than the vape bear, so the ribs and the like are also stripped clean to reduce polar power.

Fortunately, me and Toya have successfully acquired [Dismantling] skills, and Hulka is also working more efficiently because she has reached level 2. Natsuki doesn't have it yet, but she's getting help, so she'll be able to get it sometime.

Because I can cook or because I'm used to knives, I wonder if it's possible in a shorter period of time than ours.

The moth recovers the same area as the pig and discards it because the tip of the head and hands and feet is somewhat disgusting. 'Cause I have fingers and stuff.

"You look like a pig, why do you have fingers or something?

"Oh, pigs are puppet hooves, but it's not like they don't have fingers, is it?

"Really?

"Yes, that's right. It's subtle to say I do, but my fingers are degenerating, and my third and fourth fingers are hoof" hiccups, "so if they don't degenerate, it's possible that there are other fingers left. Or has it evolved again since it degenerated? I don't know about that."

Was that hoof a finger?

I don't know if I went from pig to oak, or if I followed another evolutionary process, or if I ignored anything like that just for demons again, but the fingers themselves are not surprising.

"Speaking of which, if you look closely at dogs and cats, you have fingers."

"If you're not conscious, I don't really feel like a finger. I'm more impressed with meatballs than fingers."

According to Yuki, who says so, the dog and cat have five fingers on the front leg and four fingers on the back leg.

"This oak has four legs. Five hands, so close to dogs and cats."

"I see. But Toya? You don't have to bother showing it to me, do you?

I protest by lifting my cut leg and saying that to Toya, who is turning his sole over here.

I even hate the way it looks closer to monkeys than dogs and cats do.

"Really? It's a little biologically interesting though."

"I'll leave that to the scholars. Go ahead and dismantle it faster than that."

"Oops.... I'm almost done though"

The meat is packed in their respective backpacks, divided by site, and placed on the side in a separate bag for the portion that does not enter. 5 such bags in total.

There are differences in size, large and small, but a quantity of meat can be recovered that cannot be carried without each holding one at a time. All that remained on the ground were hands, feet and bones, plus a gut in the head.... Again, that sounds like the scene of the Hound Murder.

"Uh-huh, bones, no body. Bring it back and you'll be fine..."

"Is that what you think? I honestly don't have an appetite in this situation?

Toya's mental structure, too tough. You were with me in the beginning, blue-faced with the demolition of the pig.

One of these days, will I start to think, "Looks delicious" or something, even if I look at the bloody moss?

"Toya, you can't do that."

Whoa, tell him Halka too!

"Pork bones stink, and it takes time. You won't be able to use it until you buy a house."

"That way! If you don't make ramen in the first place, you have no use for it."

"Well, if you're not free, you don't make it at home, do you? What costs don't match."

Boil the bones, wash and crush them, and more with the vegetables and stock...... considering the fuel, time and ingredients you need, the hurdles are too high to make to eat in about a few people.

It can't be stored for a long time, so it can't be made in large quantities.... No, it's possible now? Magic Bag, "Time Delay" stuff can now be made.

"Hey, let's go home sooner than that. We don't have much time, do we?

"You did. It might get dark if we don't hurry. Nao, then Toya, say hello on the course of not meeting as many enemies as possible"

"Don't be impotent. Return to the way you came for now. I will foe you but... hope you don't meet the orcs"

Hobgoblins didn't notice this one, but from the oak movement, it's possible they noticed it first, from outside my enemy range.

We each lifted a bag of meat and walked out into the woods.
