—Hit me. I need to test its durability.
Boss spoke while wearing the bear head. Seeing her triumphant expression, I hesitated for a moment before striking the bear's head weakly.
"How is it?"
—I don't feel anything. Try hitting harder. Is that all you've got?
"...Hm."
I raised my hand and clenched my fist harder. After a light stretch, I struck down with full force.
KOONG!
A small echo resounded out in the jungle.
—...!
On the moment of impact, Boss' neck trembled and shrunk down.
"How is it?"
—...
After staying still for about 30 seconds, her head creaked up, and two deceased bear eyes glared at me.
I should probably take them out and use them as glass eyes.
"Kuhum."
After letting out a dry cough, I went back to dismantling the Grizzly Bear.
Meanwhile, the bear head's mouth and eyes were glaring at me fixedly without even the slightest movement.
[Lv.2 Grizzly Bear Leather]
[Lv.3 Grizzly Bear's Gall Bladder]
[Your Dismantling technique improves to Lv.2.]
—You can instantly dismantle monsters Lv.2 and lower.
—Monsters you personally dismantle will receive a boost in Hygiene.
"...Done."
The Grizzly Bear's meat was inedible because it was too heavy with muscles. As such, I only collected its leather, which could be used to make various equipment, and its gallbladder, which could be used to make medicine.
"We're done, so let's go back."
I got up. However, Boss was still sitting on the ground looking up at me.
Was she still in shock from being hit by me? I grinned and grabbed Boss' wrist.
"Let's go eat. We have deer meat."
—...
"And you should really take off that bear head."
—...It's not a bear head. It's a helmet.
Boss finally opened her mouth.
She seemed to be sulking.
Afterwards, Boss and I returned to our temporary camp.
As soon as we entered the cave, we smelled the scent of savory meat. Boss smacked her lips. Today's menu was deer meat marinated in my special sauce.
"Oh, you're back?"
Jain, who was grilling meat, greeted us. Then, she tilted her head after seeing Boss' head. Right, she was still wearing the bear head.
"Boss, did you get eaten by a bear?"
"No, despite what it looks like, it's a good helmet."
Boss took off the bear head proudly and gave it to Jain. Jain narrowed her eyes to examine the bear head's item description.
"...Wow, it's Lv.3! Isn't this the same as the armor Newbie sold on the auction house?"
"Yes, but the one I made is better."
