Chapter 20

Calm down.

Let’s cool it off first.

We need to think, so let’s cool it off.

It would be a waste if it rots.

The image of cooling is like strawberries in the refrigerator.

It’s a shame, I splurged on these premium strawberries on payday and I wanted to eat them.

“Cooling”

When I touched it gently, it seemed to work; it’s cold.

Maybe a bit too cold.

Well, phew.

For the dissection, should we do it outside?

The chances of failure are high.

What do I need?

I’m sure the smell of rawness is from blood and organs.

Ah, I need to drain the blood!

Cut off the head and hang it upside down… reminds me of a two-hour drama.

What a gruesome drama.

In reality, can I do this?

It’s difficult, I might not be able to sleep.

Can I use magic somehow?

Blood.

Should I remove the moisture… no, it will dry out.

For now, I used spatial recognition to look inside the prey.

It made me feel sick, so I rejected it.

What can I do by looking inside the stomach and heart?

No good, there are too many realistic things in my head…

…

Phew, I’ve calmed down a bit, let’s gather my thoughts.

Blood… blood vessels.

It’s easier to imagine blood vessels, to… extract them.

If they come out naturally from the prey, it would be easier.

The blood vessels slowly crawling out of the prey… crawling out…

I might have nightmares.

Rejected.

It’s too gruesome.

Phew…

How to process it, if I could instantly remove the blood vessels from the prey.

Hmm? Can I use this?

Remove… where to?

But if I don’t remove them, but instead instantly move them, it might work.

Move them outside and burn them to ashes.

It can work!

This should be fine.

I placed my hand on the prey and recognized the blood vessels inside.

…Right, blood vessels, there are thin ones too.

The image in my head is becoming unclear.

Let’s imagine the blood vessels without recognizing them,

and extract them from the prey, then burn them.

Let’s go with this.

“Instant Teleport, Burn”

…Ashes settled on the prey.

I should have changed the location.

Clean.

Let’s gather my thoughts, next is the organs.

I’ll burn and remove them too.

Imagining the organs.

I’ve cleaned fish before, but this is a bit different.

Organs, let’s start with the heart, stomach… like a human anatomy model.

The human anatomy model I saw in the science lab.

As a child, it looked like a creepy toy, and I played with it by taking out various parts… I got scolded, but I remember a lot.

So, let’s imagine the organs in the human anatomy model.

Hmm, brain, eyes, heart… organs… kidneys…

“Instant Teleport, Burn”

I think it worked.

From now on, I’ll definitely close my eyes when using this magic.

Definitely!

Wind magic is amazing!

The prey was cleanly split in half.

Ah, I forgot to skin it.

…Maybe I’ll just extract the meat inside and eat it.

It’s different from what I imagined, but the dissection was successful.

Raw meat is scary, so I’ll use the burning magic to cook it.

I forgot that I turned the organs into charcoal instantly and proceeded.

As a result, it turned into clean charcoal… nothing left.

Of course.

I’ll imagine it being nicely grilled and use the burning magic.

The char marks are a bit prominent, but I managed to have a meal on the first day.

I had bad dreams.

I made it through Chapter 20!
