Other World Assassin Life of a Man who was a Shut-in Chapter 14

Now then…

Though I decided to eat rabitt, there’s first some things to be done.

“A fire must first be lit,
as expected, I don’t have the courage to eat this raw.”

First of all, I’ll walk to the spot in the cave with the traces of a fire,
there’s quite some s.p.a.ce there, and it seems I can make a fire in the cave there, probably…

I walked into the depths like that.

“Okay… here I am…”

And so I take a large amount of wood and leaves out from the Item Box.

“Alright, that’s enough… now it’s preparation.
As I saw on TV before, spread a lot of leaves,
next is thin branches, then medium branches,
and finally the thick branches.
Like this, it should be easier for it to burn,
if my memory is correct…”

It was said that the wood’s orientation is important,
but I don’t remember the details to that extent.

Alright, the preparations are complete with this, now to ignite it.

“Fire huh, I used fireball last time,
the power was too strong and would just burn it all black,
can it be adjusted… well, let’s try then!”

The previous fireball was around the size of a baseball,
first is that power… smaller and smaller,
so that the wood is only burnt… then the imagined size,
the size of a pac.h.i.n.ko ball seems okay,
alright… the image has come together.

“Let’s go! Fireball.”

An extremely small fireball appears from my palm, looking good!
It might be possible with this, it won’t just burn everything.
Next, the fireball is slowly and gently brought closer to the vegetation for the fire,
slowly… slowly… it only needs to catch fire a little.

And

It spread splendidly!

“Alright! Success!”

Since there’s no more business with the pac.h.i.n.ko ball sized fireball by my palm, I firmly crushed it, I don’t feel the heat after all.

“Now the fire must be prevented from going out!”

The small fire might be in danger of going out with a little wind, but this is a cave,
moreover it’s quite far away from the entrance, so there’s little need to worry about the wind getting in here.

“I’ll strengthen the fire a bit.”

On the other hand, when the fire is stable wind is needed,
I frantically fan with my hand.

After a few minutes the fire began to circulate! There’s piece of mind with this.

“Okay! I put more wood on when the fire starts to weaken!”

Next is the food’s preparation.

“I’ll take a rabitt out from the Item Box.”

Normally it would have to be finely dismantled, pierced with a branch and slowly roasted,
but I naturally haven’t dismantled an animal,
in that case, there’s one method…

“I can’t be helped… may the rabitt not be burnt black…”

I threw the whole rabitt into the fire,
I worried for a moment when the flames rose up.

“Heyhey please! Show your spirit rabitt-samaaaaaaa.”

I continued praying while moderately adjusting the fire.

A few minutes later.

The s.p.a.ce began to be filled with the pleasant smell of the roasted meat.

“Oooh! This is sufficient isn’t it! It’s fine!
I’ll take it out… how do I take this out…”

I didn’t think about taking it out…
Even I think it’s absurd to put my hand inside the fire…
Sorry but I don’t want to be burned.

“What to do… no other way… I’ll have to somehow take it out with a long branch.”

Several minutes later I somehow managed to get it out.

“I was able to do it somehow.
There was a little delay so it’s burnt here and there, rather it’s worth celebrating that the whole thing isn’t burnt.
Now then… meat-chan’s matter.”

*Gulp* It seems very delicious,
the steam coming out of the just roasted body, the smell is outstandingly pleasant as well!
It’s a smell like roasted beef!

“This… I can’t endure…”

I couldn’t endure and bit into the body,
the juice from the meat flows into my mouth the moment I bit,
it’s just right, not being too tough or too soft,
this guy…

“Deliciooooooooooooooous!!!!!
What is this! While I may have been hungry, this might be the best tasting thing I’ve eaten up till now!!!”

I continue being absorbed in eating.

After a few minutes

Only the bones are remaining, everything was eaten.

“Haaaaaaaaa, that was really goooood,
Papugo is also delicious but meat is something else!
It’s like the taste reinvigorated my whole body!
This would go for a good amount if bought and sold in my former world.”

It’s at the level where me as a shut-in would go buy it, the taste should be understood,
this might actually be the first time since coming to the different world that I’m deeply moved!

“Kuu, I’m already satisfied with today, my stomach is full,
the only thing to be done is put out the fire and sleep…”

Okay then, how to put out the fire,
if water could be used however…

“Like this… Aqua! Is how I say! …”

The next moment water downpours from above the fire with a *splaaash*,
the quant.i.ty seems to be about one bucket,
the fire completely went out.

“…… I did it.”
