Saikyou Juzoku Tensei ~Cheat Majutsushi no Slow Life~

Chapter 79 - Episode Two

As we entered the forest, we immediately spotted a bear with a pitch-black body surface.

It crouched on the ground and was eating a fish that seemed to have been taken from the river.

The black bear seemed to only eat the head of the fish and threw its body parts to the area.

“…… Isn’t that the one that was rumored in the Adventurer’s Support Center?”

Mea said, keeping her voice low.

I did hear about him at the Adventurer’s Support Center, and he was given the ostentatious moniker of ‘The Head Eater’s Black Fiend’. It is consistent with the characteristics of a magical beast.

It may be that it’s not long since it was discovered, so the official name is not yet known, or it may be that they haven’t been able to check it against the past reports.

Perhaps it was a rare type of mutant.

Since the mass outbreak of unicorns, maybe there’s something that can drive the magic field crazy.

Anyway, this black bear was a demonic beast that had been requested to be defeated.

Somewhat reasonable reward money can be expected.

“Wasn’t there about two adventurers that’s been eaten…… Wow, we’ve run into some strange things right away, not a good omen…… They seem to be slow, so let’s run away before they find……”

“Oh wind, form, blade.”

The magic power emitted from the tip of the staff I wielded manipulates the wind and makes the blade form

“Gua……?”

The bear’s head flew clean off as it looked back at us.

“Looks harder than Grey Bear. This is why mutants……”

A monster appears out of the blue in an ordinary hunting ground for beginners.

To the adventurers, it’s nothing but a nightmare.

It is said that the most common reason for the party’s demise is the appearance of mutants, and the second most common reason is the magic beast disaster monster panic.

It seems that this demonic beast is slow-footed, so it didn’t seem to cause massive damage, but we still know that two people have already died.

The time should have been covered, so I wish the adventurer who wanted the unicorn had killed them while they’re at it.

“…………”

Mea was looking at the headless bear with rapt attention.

“Speaking of which, Mea, weren’t you trying to say something earlier?”

“N, no, nothing! It was an unnecessary warning to Abel……”

“Right. I thought I was supposed to take out the ears.”

I roll the black bear’s head over, hold the side of its head in my hand, and place the blade of the wood carving knife against the base of its ear.

“A-, Abel……”

“Yeah?”

Mea calls out to me and I turn around.

“Mea…… um, after all…… I guess I’m a burden, aren’t I? I can’t fight… and I can’t do anything about it……”

“N, no no, that’s not……”

I don’t want you to sound so sorry.

I’m the one who is financially indebted to her, so it’s hard for me to get out of the way.

Besides, there are many things that Mea does for me.

Like carrying things…… um, and…… like carrying things……

Next time, when I have time, I might teach Mea some magic.

I applied force to the wood carving knife and tried to shave the black bear’s ear.

Hard. It’s crazy hard.

If the demon beast dies, the magic power that makes its body hard should be cut off, but it’s not cutting at all.

The handle of the wood carving knife is made of the world tree and has a powerful magical power.

It has the power to sniff out the wavelength of the tree’s magical power and match it.

However, it is only a knife specialized in wood. If it is used against a demonic beast, it is just an ordinary blade.

The ears could be cut off with the wind magic, but I wanted to remove the fur as well.

However, as expected of a wind blade, the wind blade couldn’t be fine-tuned to that extent.

I thought this bearskin could be used for something……

“Mea! Let Mea do it! If it’s that then Mea can do it too!”

As I was holding the black bear’s head in distress, Mea desperately tried to persuade me on it.

“N, no, It’s not that I’m not that muscular. Sure, I may be a bit lacking in stamina, but maybe that has something to do with the drain on my magic power. Because my muscles are fine! I do a couple of push-ups before I go to bed and……”

Although I handed over the wooden carving knife to Mea’s momentum, I thought it would be impossible as expected.

I know my weaknesses, too, and I’m analyzing them and planning my own countermeasures.

Muscle training and such.

When I used the status disclosure magic to check it, my numbers hardly increased, but I’m sure it’s my magic that has a problem.

I developed that magic many years ago, but the status disclosure magic has many flaws.

The status barely reflects the results of muscle training, and when I try to check my magic value, the status shows like it has bug.

I don’t know the reason for either, so there’s nothing I can do about it at all.

I guess the concept of “quantifying a creature’s ability value” was a mistake after all.

I’m still developing it, but as long as I can’t improve on its shortcomings, it’s going to be difficult to put it to use.

I once beat Gizel in an arm-wrestling match.

After enough fierce battles, I won the match, even though I was supposed to be inferior in terms of muscle strength.

This is another reason why I don’t trust status disclosure magic.

Gizel was smiling and laughing, and I was sweating, but a win is a win.

By no means was Gizel cutting corners to build up her brother. I think.

So, as expected even me, compared to girls my own age……

“Abel! I’ve cut it! It was a bit of a struggle, but U managed to cut it off, Abel!”

“Eh, ah, ahhhh, yeah……”

“Should I take the skin off too?”

“Yes, please……”

I take Mea’s instructions and roughly tear the black bear’s body with wind magic.

Mea uses the cleft as a starting point to peel off the black bear’s skin.

It seems that she closely watched Maizen taking off hound’s pelt, so It looked like she knows the procedure and the gist of it.

I didn’t see much of it, but maybe Mea was observing things to see what she could do.

She’s having a bit of a hard time because of the quantity, and she’s rattled at the end because of the fat and blood blade damage. But somehow she managed to get the skinning done.

We have money to some extent, so maybe we’d better buy a dismantling knife and sharpening stone for Mea in the future.

I’d also like to replace the blade of the wood carving knife.

The handle is, after all, a world tree, but the blade is cheap and worn out so I can’ t take it.
