Not Sure, But It Looks Like I Got Reincarnated in Another World
Episode 9

The meat is definitely a strong opponent.

　No, I'm not kidding. I almost died there, but to eat meat I had to go out again.

　Naturally, I was afraid because I was not afraid.

　I managed to think of something this time, but I had to rethink my method of attack. First of all, when I tried to attack the boar while moving, almost all of my rocks were gone. I can't launch it while moving. Which means, I have to launch it first.

　I am currently standing in the park.

　I went back home soon after that. I was scared on my way back so I had used double the number of monster repellents. But because of that, I was able to return safely.

　I was still scared and I had to think of a countermeasure for the next time, but for now, I wanted to eat meat. And to do that, I had to cultivate the meat.

　I took out the horned rabbit that had just been killed. Now.... . this ....... what should I do? I don't know how to break it. Now was the time for a useful [Magic Creation] to appear! Let's turn this horned rabbit carcass into edible meat.

　…… But unfortunately, not enough MP!

　But I have a knife. So, is the cost of the action still too expensive? Let's check the status. 20 MP left. It's dropping a lot.

　I might be able to use [Creative Magic] to dismantle tomorrow after resting that night. But I want to eat it now!

　I found out my status for something else I could use. Appraisal, Alert, Detection, Stealth, and Farming. None of them can be used.

　Maybe Life Magic? It looks like it can't be used, but I tried to use it. But nothing happened . Right, of course ~

　My cooking skills are a little below average so it probably won't work either.

　…… Now that I think about it, when I take a bath, don't I directly take the shampoo myself from [Storage]? If so, then maybe I can also remove a certain part of the animal ……

　I activated [Storage] while concentrating on just removing the fur of the horned rabbit. And I can do that.

　Ehh? What's up with this?　

　No wait, isn't [Storage] too convenient like this?

　Apart from the various negatives of this world, there are also many positive things that I am grateful for.

　For starters, no blood was spilled. This is positive. But when I removed it a pool of blood also appeared in the designated area. This is the negative.

　Next, I separated the organs and parts of the edible meat. Bone Fat. The brain could be used instead of a tanner, I will do it later with [Creation Magic]. And with that, the processing is complete. After finishing the second, I looked at the pool of blood.

　And .. I can do that.

　I activated the storage and found that I could determine what I wanted when the item was still inside. This must be cheating.

　The processing of the wild boar was also completed in a few seconds in a strange sense.

　Why do I feel so mentally tired?

　That night, I made a horned rabbit soup. I make spices and add them when I cook. I also make cooking utensils like pots. What ingredients do I use for the pot? I collected iron sand from the river using [Storage]. Although it takes a little time.

　As for the cooking knife I only use my knife after sterilizing it with [Clean].

　The soup I made was delicious. This is the first meat I have had in six months. At the orphanage, I could eat meat once a month.

　After I finished eating meat, I got a pleasant and satisfying sleep.

　Besides, I am happy because I am not wasting blood because I can remove salt from it. I also did not waste any bones and used them as a base for broth and the rest as fertilizer.

　The next day . I am trying to improve my method of attack.

　I realized after yesterday's incident. It is difficult to launch a stone when there is movement. Even if I managed to launch it, it was due to luck. But it would be bad if it eventually disappeared.

　Well now, the weapon has a barrel, which helps steer the bullet forward at a certain speed. So, I guess I need something to act as a barrel. But then the question arises: What will I use? Do I have to make it in place at all times? Or should I prepare something beforehand? What about that gun?

　Unlike pots or pans, just using iron alone will cause problems. Furthermore, adjusting the carbon content and collecting enough iron to make a barrel would be difficult. It takes about a week to collect enough iron sand to make a pot. And about two weeks for the frying pan. But I managed to get the [Metalwork] and [Blacksmith] skills in the meantime.

　So maybe something else .....do not wait, do I really have to use something physically? The kinetic energy I used to launch the stone was not real. Then, if I use air, maybe ……

　Right, let's test it.

　So I tried a few experiments.

　And result. I could make a barrel replacement using air, but now it would cost more MP to launch the stone. For now, I decided to go by the name of Air Barrel.

　Next, I tried to make a rifle inside the air barrel to increase the overall power. Rifling is fairly easy to make so penetration and speed increase. But as the amount of friction increases, the stones launched are smaller. Furthermore, the cost of MP is doubled.

　Penetration strength increases, but as the bullet is smaller, the damage will be reduced. I should probably remember this when using it. I prefer a metal bullet instead ..... will throwing a knife also work? I wondered if I should try to make it myself or just buy from the city. Well, for now, I just need to continue without rifling.

　I also practiced shooting while moving. I wasn't really athletic, but in the meantime, I was training while moving through the woods. Good result. And I managed to obtain the [Snipe] skill. That will make it easier to get meat. I immediately went hunting.

　The outcome? It felt like the last fight never happened. I managed to easily get down the deer. Somewhat hard to accept.
