Hunting, Infinite Gravel, Black Robe
One afternoon, the sky was overcast and somewhat cool even though it was almost summer.
I was unusually separated from my master and wandered around the mountain.
<<I hope you find some good-looking prey! >>
Yes, I'm hunting alone right now!
Because when I finished my usual training and invited my master to go hunting, he looked at me and said,
“............”
He shook his head and refused.
Apparently, he is going to be mixing medicine from now on.
Then I thought I would help him with that, but it seems I'm not ready for that either, and he wouldn't let me. Damn it!
So, since my mentor was holed up in his room and I had some free time, I went out hunting alone like this!
...... Oops.
<<Ah, Emmy, in front of you, behind the rocks on the left…>>
Yes, I'm aware, Omake-sama.
“Fugitto. ...... Fugit.”
“Gyu gyu… gi gi.”
“Fuggghhh! Fuggity!”
There they were, three meats devouring something while making strange squealing noises.
<<It's not meat yet, Emmy. That's a Yahadziki boar.>>
Yahadziki boars are omnivorous, ferocious boar demons!
They always move in packs of three or more, and if they charge at you in a group, they will tear even a human hut to pieces!
Their fur is unusually hard, and even a half-hearted arrow will be repelled, leaving them unable to inflict even a single wound!
(Exhibit From: «The Hunting God's Otherworldly Reincarnation» as viewed by Omake-sama)
<<They are not that big, all three of them are about the size of an emmy.>>
The herd is not very large, and they are still young and inexperienced, having just become independent from their mother's herd, right?
<<You can never be too careful.>>
Of course!
I strengthened the [Presence Concealment], which I always activate in the mountains, and approached my prey cautiously.
Then, I leap with the [Flying Locust] and descend from the sky toward the neck of the Yahajiki boar...... A single flash of the [Mantis] slashed down on the boar's neck.
The boar's head flew off.
This is the same method my master used to use against Erekidia. I can do it to some extent too, though not as well as Master.
The response of the other two surprised animals was the exact opposite.
“Fuggi-eeeeeee!!!!!!!”
One of them was furious and tried to lunge at me. But it was too close to me to gain momentum. Their rush would only become a threat after they had gained enough speed to get a running start. The distance was too short to inflict damage on me, who was very close by.
In the end, what he (?) did was simply to move its head to a position where I could easily hunt it. I hit such a boar's head as hard as I could from above.
It's not a mere punch.
It's a blow that shatters even rocks filled with magic power.
It's a magic blow.
The boar's head burst open, creating a reddish-black stain on the mountainside.
I dodged the body of the headless boar that rushed towards me and looked at the other one.
The other boar seemed to have chosen to run away. It turned its butt toward me and ran away at full speed.
But you know what, boar?
I'm starving.
I've been doing hard training day after day, and I'm on the edge of my physical and magical strength. I need to eat lots of delicious meat to keep my strength up.
I'm a carnivorous girl!
I stuck my hand into the ground and grabbed a handful of dirt. As it was, I applied [Coagulation] at the soil in my hand, turning it from a mere piece of dirt into something harder than stone and gravel.
The speed of my [Stone Throwing] which had been enhanced by my more skilled [Body Strengthening] was so fast that it was almost dizzying.
The last boar, whose body had been pierced by my projectile, collapsed and trembled several times before it stopped moving.
Now, thanks to my [Coagulation], as long as there is dirt, I can continuously use [Stone Throwing] even without pebbles.
This is what I call [Infinite Gravel].
It is named by Omake-sama.
<<...By the way, Emmy, you've become a lot stronger in just half a year...>>
Ehehehe! Don't you think so too?
This is all thanks to my master!
<<......That's right. It's true that you met a good teacher, but even so, this growth rate... as expected…>>
......? As expected?
<<....Nothing. ...No, Emmy, I'm a little embarrassed! >>
Embarrassed?
Why?
<<I have been with Emmy for six years since you were reincarnated in this world. And in order for you to survive, I've been trying to make Emmy stronger, so I've been teaching you various things.>>
Yeah.
<<Even so, Emmy has become much stronger in the six months that he taught her than in the six years that I taught her. It makes me wonder what the hell I've been doing all this time......>>
Awww ...... Don't be discouraged, Omake-sama.
I've always been extremely grateful to Omake-sama, and if it weren't for him, I'd be dead by now.......
And I am only able to keep up with my master's training because of the foundation that Omake-sama has trained me with!
[Body Strengthening], [Presence Concealment], and [Magic Vision] ....... It was Omake-sama who taught me all of this, right?
Besides, you've been working with me on my master's assignments!
I am who I am because of Omake-sama!
<<......Fufufu, thank you, Emmy>>
Ehehe! you're welcome! Thank you for your continued support, Omake-sama!
......Here we go! Let's quickly process the boar! It would be troublesome if other monsters came out and robbed me of my meat!
<<Right!>>
And here.
When I tried to approach the carcass of a wild boar, I saw the black things that these wild boars had been wanting to devour.
For the first time, I became conscious of it.
What is this?
A piece of black cloth?
......a robe?
I grabbed it and pulled on it.
Something rolled out.
Seeing this, I ran...... I ran as fast as I could toward my master's hut, leaving the boars I had just hunted untouched.
I have to report this.
Something is wrong.
Something is happening.
The boars were devouring chunks of meat that had been cut into pieces, bone by bone, with something sharp.
I pulled on a piece of cloth, and out rolled the raw head of a woman I did not know.
Deep in the mountains, where I had never seen a single human being except my master and myself.
A human being had been killed.
However, I had not seen a single human being except for myself and my master.
When I arrived at my master's hut, things had already begun to happen.
The master and a black-robed, skinhead man were facing each other, exchanging murderous intent.
And I, caught off guard by the scene, was too caught up to notice the another man creeping noiselessly up behind me.
