YLTESCIA: A Reincarnator's Tale in the Lands of Merusia (3)

Chapter 412: The Great Hunt (pt. II)

"Hmm... I didn't damage it too much, did I?" ［Grey］

A young man mumbled to himself, his eyes peering towards the prey before him and his hand cupping his chin. He swayed his head left and right a little, looking at a few angles and making sure the prey wasn't in a terrible state.

Thankfully, there wasn't anything in particular about the Great Deer which was too broken or damaged. Even though he exerted such a tremendous amount of force in his slam, causing the Great Deer to die from shock, surprisingly enough, not a single bone was broken, just a little bit cracked.

Be it the antlers, the hooves, the hide, the blood, the organs, and everything else. They could all serve a purpose as long as they are handled with expertise. All that was needed was his butchering knife and he could do some dismantling.

"You have done great, Master." ［Canopus］

"Thanks Canopus. Though... I had quite the lengthy record, didn't I?" ［Grey］

"26,3 seconds, to be exact, Master." ［Canopus］

"Hmm... Was I too soft? I could have done it twice as fast if I really tried... Well, it's just a silly competition anyway." ［Grey］

Or so he says, but there aren't quite many people who can chase and knock down a Great Deer in such a short amount of time. Especially when they weren't even using magic to hunt them. He and Yuna are just an insane couple.

But well, what matters now is that they now have a source of tasty meat they could take back to the city. With such high quality meat, it wouldn't be impossible to have a taste of the most delicious venison dishes in the world.

Of course, loving to cook himself, he also can't wait to cook some of the Great Deer's venison with some recipes he once searched online and create his own variations as well. He could only imagine his adorable fiancée's reaction by then.

"Oh, right. Yuna should also be done now, right? She's gone out of my optical range so I can't really tell." ［Grey］

"I'm not so sure too, Master. But knowing the Mistress, it shouldn't take her too long! I'm sure she's also already finished with her hunt!" ［Canopus］

"Right. That girl is quite competitive, after all. She might have hunted her prey faster than me. I'm sure she's already humming about somewhere." ［Grey］

And speaking of his lovely fiancée, there was no need to worry about her too much. The forest may be big and full of dangers, but she can surely take care of herself, rather, it was the beasts in the forest Grey was more worried about.

Though knowing Yuna, she's probably out there collecting herbs and magic plants already, with stars sparkling in her eyes. Grey could only chuckle at the thought, then collecting and storing the Great Deer's body inside the Inventory.

"Then, let's go fetch our young lady, shaー" ［Grey］

『Grey, I found something interesting in the forest!』 ［Yuna］

And just when it was all decided and done, a familiar voice rang inside his head all of a sudden, full of excitement and enthusiasm. It was none other than Yuna's and just as expected, she's already done with her hunt, now doing something else.

『Is it another rare magic plant again? Just wait a minute, I'll appraiseー』 ［Grey］

『No, it's not that! It's something... Erm... A little strange...? I'm not sure how to describe it, but I think you should go see it for yourself.』 ［Yuna］

『... Something strange, huh... Got it. Be there in a minute.』 ［Grey］

『Un! I'll be waiting for you!』 ［Yuna］
