swallow it back.

“Oh, are you the adventurer that took the rabbit meat commission? Then, the meat? Doesn’t look like you have it though.”
“Ah, no, I still have to head there.”
“That so? Since the meat is for next week, it needs to be hunted today.
I’ll be roasting meat here until the evening.
Then, was there something you needed?”

Just then, a small noise came from a cute stomach.
It wasn’t mine of course, it was Meat’s.
But come to think of it, it was lunchtime huh.

“… Right, how about we get two skewers first? Then, please tell me where we can hunt the rabbits.”
“Sure.
Two for ten copper… yep, that’s it.
If you’re looking for rabbits, they’re outside town.
The west gate would work, in the forest by the Tsuia Mountain, a bit on the side facing us… ah, bring them back intact if you aren’t confident in dismantling them.”
“I see, thank you.
Then, we’re off.”

I accepted the skewers, passing one to Meat.
In return, Meat tried to pass me five copper.
I didn’t accept them, though.

“It was just a necessary expense for us to get information, don’t worry about it.
Besides, it’s a master’s duty to feed their slaves.
So, go ahead and eat.”
“… Umm, then what do I…”
“Ah, when Meat finds something she wants to buy, it’s fine to buy it.
Save for something you want.”
“Umm… that’s… yes.”

Meat put the copper coins away in the small bag she used as a substitute for a purse.
She then bit into the meat skewer.
… Yep, that’s it, it doesn’t taste bad.
It doesn’t taste bad, but it’s a bit smelly, compared to a hamburger the taste is a bit thin.
Her face said something like that.

When I showed the commission ticket to the gatekeeper at the west gate, we were able to leave without paying the toll.
Then while heading to the forest, we saw the first rabbit.

“Kya?”

It was kind of… innocently cute.
The small animal’s red eyes were cute.
It was fluffy and nomming on the grass.
However, in the next moment, Meat severed its head.
With the Knife Golem in her right hand, she easily cut through it with vibration mode.

“It’s meat.”
“Y-yeah.
Well done, excellent.”

This child has no mercy.
The rabbit corpse’s legs were somewhat bloody from the neck that still pulsed blood.
It was thrown into a leather bag after losing the rest of its blood.
She also threw the severed head in while she was at it.

I, with my broken heart, probably wouldn’t have been able to achieve this without Meat… wonder if I’m feeling guilty over those adventurers dying in the dungeon…

Well, I can at least hit a rabbit on the head though.
The meat I’ve always eaten is meat that someone’s killed, so when I eat it I’m also assisting that.
In that case, there’s no reason to not kill them here seeing as how I eat meat.
Assisted by the Blade Golem and Clothes Golem, I could cleanly cut through it.
Though a little of the blood got on me, I quickly used [Cleanup] to get clean.
… Wait, come to think of it none of the blood has gotten on Meat-san huh, I seriously respect her.

We continued that until we had ten rabbits to bring to the client.
The breakdown? Eight for Meat, two for me, so what? Meat could instantly decapitate them after all.
I held out one I found to her, pinning them down with both hands so they couldn’t run away.
I got the other one myself (with the Golems’ assistance).
Wouldn’t Meat have been fine by herself…?

“Heeh, you’re… An-chan, you look lanky, but you have a good arm.”

Sorry, those are the results of this child here.
My duty was to hold rabbits by the legs while Meat-sensei hunted for them one by one, I just had to throw them in the bag after all the blood drained.
Meat-sensei went into the forest alone, I just diligently waited and did nothing outside while they drained.

At any rate, the client gave us a high evaluation.
Though they were sitting in the bag, thanks to draining the blood the fur was in good condition.
Except for one of them, he purchased them all for the maximum price of ten copper coins, ninety-seven copper… since most of them were in good condition, he gave us a bonus, making our income one silver.

Eh? Whose went for seven? That’s right, it’s the one I got on my own.
It was pretty bad, the body was cut into two you know?
