Chapter 21

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ Rafina’s viewpoint ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

Fufufu …….

Zelet Winter.

I heard that you are a former S-class hunter, but it’s not as good as it sounds.

You might have despised me as a little girl, but in fact, my bow technique is as good as any hunter.

In the first place, I am a [Maneuver skill user].

The name of the technique is “One-shot kill”.

It has a terrifying rare skill that can shoot key points and kill you.

Both my father and mother heard the name of the technique and its effectiveness, and cut it off saying that a duke’s daughter doesn’t need such savagery, but for me, who was fascinated by the demon food, it was nothing more than a revelation.

Yes. God is saying.

Hunt and eat monsters.

“And I’ll defeat you at all costs and make you a hunter only for me. And, from one end to the other, there are many ingredients such as demons and monsters. Oh? Just imagining it is making me drool … “

In the first place, Zelet is bad.

He ignored all the request that I sent

However, this time I got a chance. In this game, Zelet has no chance of winning.

This is the Duke’s garden. In other words, it’s my garden.

I know everything about where and what kind of monsters are lurking.

For example, there are mainly D to F rank monsters living in this garden, but there is only one type of monster that becomes ferocious only during the summer and rises from E to C rank.

The name is Bradrabbit.

It’s one size larger than a normal rabbit and looks cute at first glance, but it has sharp horns on its head and is as strong as a horse.

And it is worth mentioning that its characteristics change in the summer.

Summer is a difficult season for humans, other creatures, and even monsters. In addition to the high temperatures, the season when the fruits of the mountains are the least. To be clear, it’s an even more difficult season than winter.

It’s the same with Brad Rabbit.

Those who mainly eat magic grass will eat up most of the magic grass that grows in spring by summer. The strong feeling of hunger eventually changes it from a herbivore to a carnivore, and begins to attack wild animals and people.

When that happens, Bradrabbit will change from a seemingly cute rabbit to a terrifying beast.

A monster that runs through the forest at the same speed as a horse suddenly attacks with a horn that can pierce the iron. Just imagine it, a nasty beast.

However, if you know that it is there, it is a monster that is easy to deal with.

For example, shooting it from a distance.

I climbed a slightly elevated hill in the woods. From there, I can overlook this large garden.

“Growl!”

I inadvertently licked my tongue.

I can’t, a lady doesn’t act like that.

But this is unavoidable. Bradrabbit is a dangerous C-rank monster, but its developed leg meat is delicious, reminiscent of high-quality duck meat.

When you put it in a pot, the fat oozes out, and you can use the juice. noodles, Udon. It is also good with Rice porridge.

Don’t be afraid.

The sun is a little too high to immerse myself in the land of dreams.

Let’s win this game, have Zelet catch a lot of monsters, and taste an unknown dish.

[One shot kill]!

I draw the bowstring as much as I can and release it with the power of Maneuver skillI.

The arrow pierced the root of the corner, which is the key point of Bradrabbit.

Bradrabbit collapses like a doll lying on its side. After that, it didn’t move.

“I’m so brilliant that I’m in love with it.”

That’s not the case. Freshness is the life of a monster.

I went down the hill and hurried towards the Bradrabbit that I shot.

Today’s hunt went well for me.

After that, I killed three more Bradrabits and decided to end a little earlier than planned.

When I came back, I already saw Zelet-sama playing with a god beast called Rir.

“You’re fast,  Zelet-sama. Are you really a S-class hunter?”

” Well, this hunting ground is your garden. Naturally, of course.”

“Zelet-san came back in less than 10 minutes.”

Olivia’s mouth curved upward.

10 minutes …! ??

What kind of monster did you catch in such a short time?

Wild animals rarely appear near the mansion where the smell of humans remains.

Therefore, in order to catch the prey, you need to go deep into the forest. Even if I went and came back, it would take more than 30 minutes …

However, It’s useless just to think about it. The monsters in this forest should have the highest C rank of Bradrabid.

No matter how I see it, the match is my win.

I may be cowardly and reproachful, but I hope you will be the cornerstone of my ideal monster diet.

“Then, do you want to start?”

“Eh? Your disciple hasn’t come back yet? Is that okay?”

When Olivia blinked her eyes, Zelet shrugged.

“Because she’s stupid. Even if I say two hours, she won’t come back. She doesn’t have a clock, and she doesn’t even know how to read the clock.”

“Well, that’s right … Miss Rafina, are you okay?”

“I’m always …”

I place my hand on my chest and nod.

I almost laughed for a moment, but I decided to endure it until the moment of victory.

“Then it’s from the young lady. Is that the prey you caught?”

“Yes……”

I showed the dismantled Bradrabbit.

“It’s been dismantled very beautifully. And this is Bradrabbit. It’s a special case of a monster that becomes more dangerous in the summer and goes from E to C class.”

Olivia-san used the “appraisal” magic tool that she usually uses at work and told me the result.

“Next is Zelet-san’s turn.”

I was curious, but I can’t find anything that seems to be a prey around  Zelet-sama.

Did he bring it to the mansion first? No, then he wouldn’t relax in a place like this …

Then, Zelet-sama unties the bag that had been hung on the belt.

I couldn’t catch up with what he was doing.

The bag was so small that it couldn’t even fit a fist. Bradrabbit couldn’t have entered such a place.

This is my win, isn’t it?

I was convinced of the victory.

“Here it is……”

Zelet-sama gently wrapped it with both hands and showed it to us.

There was an ant there.

“Ah, ant ii ii ii ii ii ii ii !!”

I screamed unintentionally.
