Chapter 21 – 21.First Friend (7)
“Ah~ I thought you would get a job at a commercial company~.”
“Are you the one who said it would be me?”
“Ah, but you don’t know what’s going on in the world~. Ah, but who is the person behind you?”
“Ah, ah!”
When Pamela caught Sasha’s gaze, she hid behind me, then flinched, trembled, and moved next to me.
“Pa, pa, it’s Pamela!”
Perhaps because I was nervous, I gave the name first rather than explaining.
Things will proceed more smoothly if I explain first.
“This is a friend I made during the entrance exam. You can also call it a colleague.”
“Chi, friend… Hehe, hehe, hehe. Yes, yes! Sihan’s… Chi, friend!”
“Oh~ So this person also passed the academy, brother?”
“Yes. And as stated in the contract. This time, I came to receive equipment provided by a colleague.”
“Aha. So that’s why I came. Somehow~ I was wondering why my brother would come visit me when there was still time for the academy entrance ceremony. By the way…”
Sasha looked at Pamela with her thin eyes, and then she smiled very slowly.
“Oppa, a man is a man too.”
Then she lightly tapped my chest with her hand.
“What are you talking about?”
I know what you mean.
There are many similar scenes in the subculture genre.
However, some people pretend not to know according to the concept.
“Hey, it’s okay to pretend not to know~ Even if you make me your colleague during the entrance exam…”
Sasha’s smile she became more sly.
“I can’t believe you brought such a pretty woman. Oh, indeed. “This is the kind of person your brother likes.”
“Yes, yes, pretty? Who, who are you talking about?”
Meanwhile, even though Pamela receives praise from Sasha, she purely shows her doubts due to her low self-esteem.
“Of course… I’m talking about Pamela~.”
“Huh?! Am I pretty? Oh, that’s it. It’s a polite way of saying hello. Thank you. Hehe, the president of the company says that even to me like Song Chung-i Lee!”
“… ?”
Sasha tilted her head in response to Pamela’s reaction and lightly gestured toward me, asking me to bow down.
As I bent down, Sasha whispered to me in a low voice.
“Oppa, why are you like this?”
“I just have low self-esteem. Just ignore it.”
“Isn’t it a little bit?”
“Just pass it by.”
That’s the way to treat Pamela.
After Sasha gently fell from me, she asked with her usual smile.
“Anyway, it’s nice to see you again, brother! Then, let’s go to the warehouse with Pamela!”
“Before that, I have something to tell you.”
“Are you going to tell me? Oh, is that true? Are you giving me a gift to commemorate passing the entrance exam, brother? Hey, we just have a contract, so you don’t have to worry about that kind of thing~.”
“If it is a gift, it can also be called a gift.”
“Huh? Really?”
While I was joking, Sasha blinked when she heard what I said and looked up at me and nodded her head.
“Yes. This time, I hunted the Halfmoon Bear with Pamela. I will present its body to you.”
After learning the contents of her gift, Sasha immediately smiled as usual and shook her head.
“Giving a dead body as a gift~ You have really unique tastes~.”
Even as she said those words, Sasha walked out from behind her and passed Pamela.
“Let’s quickly go to the dismantling department warehouse! Halfmoon Bear’s leather is perfect for clothing!”
It seems that Sasha liked my gift of unusual taste.
Arrived at Cats Company’s dismantling department warehouse.
There was a strong smell of blood in the warehouse, to the point where it could be called a dismantling department, and cold air surrounded the area, perhaps to maintain freshness.
“Boss, what’s going on here… ?”
The eyes of the employees who were working on the monster’s body were focused on us as we were busy working.
“Ugh!”
As all eyes were focused on me, Pamela secretly hid behind me.
“Everyone! I’ve brought you a new task! Come on, brother! Get it out quickly!”
“Okay. But where can I take it out?”
“Um, roughly here?”
After going to the place pointed out by Shasha, I took out the Halfmoon Bear corpses one by one from my inventory and stacked them up.
The staff just watched up to four Half Moon Bears.
“Huh? Huh?”
“Ha, so many Half Moon Bears?”
“What an expensive subspace ring you have…”
However, when it passed the fifth, it turned into astonishment.
From what I heard from Sasha, subspace rings are usually a method that allows only a certain amount of items to be placed in a given space.
Of course, you can put in enough materials, equipment, and food after dismantling, but if you put in a few large Halfmoon Bear carcasses, the capacity will quickly run out.
In order to further increase the capacity of the basic subspace, it takes a lot of time and technology, and the price of the subspace ring with a lot of space increases correspondingly.
That’s why the employees are shocked to see me keep bringing out Half Moon Bear.
After taking out the 8 Half Moon Bears, I finished by taking out the body of the last remaining Red Half Moon Bear.
“This is it.”
“Wait a minute, Oppa! Isn’t the last one you took out a Red Half Moon Bear?!”
“The belly was definitely red, different from other individuals.”
“Wow, how great! I can now sell premium coats!”
It seems that the skin of the Red Half Moon Bear is sold at a much higher price than that of other Half Moon Bears.
“Wait a minute! My stomach! Is there any damage to my stomach? Check! Check it right now!”
“”Yes!””
The employees gathered together and overturned the Red Half Moon Bear.
And they confirmed that the Red Half Moon Bear’s body only had holes in the neck and solar plexus area, and that the red half-moon area was undamaged.
“Good!”
“The ship is safe!”
“Now the price has risen several times!”
“Sasha, is that important?”
“It doesn’t matter! Whether you make it out of code! Out of gloves! Or out of carpet! If it’s a Red Halfmoon Bear, its belly must be alive to increase its value! By the way…”
Sasha looked at her corpses with bright eyes.
“All the leather! It’s in great condition with almost no scratches! As expected, Oppa!”
“One has more injuries than the other.”
At first, I pointed at the guy I caught to check the effect of Pamela’s magic.
“Oh, that’s not even a wound to that extent! I’m talking about leather with real wounds. It has cuts from swords and arrow marks in various places so that you can clearly see that it has suffered a complete struggle.
In comparison, the corpses that my brother caught! Well, there is no scar except for the complete hole! Rather, how is it possible to drill in a straight line like this? I find that more interesting.”
“It’s skill.”
Skills are also abilities.
“But with Pamela’s help, I was able to catch it easily.”
“Oh really?”
Swish! And Sasha’s eyes turned to Pamela.
“Tsk… !”
“Pamela is amazing too!”
“Oh, no! Now, the one who caught it was Mr. Si, Si, Sihan. I just cast some magic from behind… Hehe, hehe, hehe…”
Pamela has low self-esteem, but even though she can’t immediately acknowledge compliments from others, perhaps because I’ve been complimenting her recently, she seems happy.
“Fuck… Tea! Let’s start working on this quickly first!”
“Wow, it’s so fresh, as if I just caught it. As expected, I like the subspace ring.”
“Oh my, the knife doesn’t go in well.”
“Try starting from the hole here.”
“Ugh! It’s tough as expected. I’m going to have to use a lot of force on this.”
Behind Sasha, you can hear the sounds of workers in the disassembly department struggling to hurriedly skin the Red Halfmoon Bear.
When I saw them like that, a thought came to mind.
“Sasha, they are having a hard time.”
“Well, it’s not that easy to dismantle. And it’s not just a Half Moon Bear, it’s a Red Half Moon Bear. But don’t worry! Our staff are also experts!”
It’s definitely not impossible, but it feels like a harder task than usual.
But what if we use this method?
“But it would be nice to make it easier, wouldn’t it?”
“That’s right, right? Is there any way?”
“I don’t have it. But… Pamela might be able to.”
“Huh?! Me, me, me!?”
Pamela was started when the topic suddenly turned to her.
“Pamela, the crushing nail you use is to weaken the opponent and reduce their defensive power. Right?”
“Yes, yes…”
“Wouldn’t it be easier to skin the corpse if I used the crushing nail on that corpse?”
“Uh, uh… Now, I’m not sure.”
Well, I wouldn’t use magic for disassembly.
“Then let’s give it a try. Maybe we’ve found a new application for magic.”
“Oh, okay.”
“Hmm~ Everyone~ Step back for a moment! The wizard here…”
“Pamela is a witch.”
“The witch has something to test.”
At Sasha’s words, the employee immediately backed away from Red Half Moon Bear.
“Pamela, can you lower the force of the impalement so that it doesn’t damage the leather?”
“Uh… Well, I’ll try that too. Wave, the nail of shredding!”
A translucent nail appears in the air and flies towards the Red Half Moon Bear’s corpse.
The shredding nail, which was smaller than the one used in actual combat, hit the target but did not penetrate the leather.
Pamela’s magic is a kind of curse in the setting, so it is expected that it will have an effect even if it is a hit.
“Then hurry up and try the sword again. The magic effect doesn’t last very long.”
“Yes! Everyone, hurry up and try again!”
The employee who was trying to cut the Red Halfmoon Bear’s skin walked up to him and plunged the knife into the skin.
“Uh… Uh oh! What! The knife that didn’t go in easily until now goes in much easier!”
“Hurry and cut it! Cut it with a knife so it’s easy to peel!”
“Hey! The leather comes off a lot easier!”
As expected, the employees were able to cut off the leather with ease due to the defense-lowering debuff.
“Ugh! It takes strength to take it off again…!”
After all the scabbards were made, the duration of the crushing nails ended while the skin was being peeled.
“It looks like the duration is up.”
“Wow… That’s amazing! Even though it’s only a short period of time, the difficulty level of the work has been reduced this much! Pamela! You’re amazing!”
“Huh!? Ah, no~ I’m not that great~ It’s all thanks to Mr. Sihan who told me a way that a brain less powerful than that of a monkey like me couldn’t even think of. Hehe…”
“Pamela, if it’s okay with you, could you help them for a moment? All you have to do is shoot the nails until they take off all the skin.”
“Yes, yes! That… I think I can shoot more by using less magic power to lower the power.”
Although it has low power, it can apply a lot of debuffs.
I heard very good information.
“Then please.”
“Yes, yes!”
Pamela helped the staff in the dismantling department by using a crushing nail to skin the Red Halfmoon Bear as well as the Halfmoon Bear.
“That’s amazing, witch!”
“Hey~ As expected, the person who uses magic is different!”
“Oh, no! I just did it because Mr. Sihan ordered it… “
“Thank you!”
“Thanks to you, I can work with ease!”
“Please here too!”
“Hehe, hehe, hehe… Please leave it to me!”
It was very gratifying to see Pamela so excited to receive the respect and appreciation from so many people.
However.
“Ah, there is a wound on the meat.”
Perhaps due to heightened emotions, the slightly stronger crushing nails dug into the area where all the leather had been peeled off.
Pamela’s faint smile suddenly hardened and she repeatedly bowed her head.
“Ugh, uhhh! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry for being such a stupid witch that I can’t even control my power!”
“Oh, no! It’s okay because it’s not leather!”
“It’s okay if you don’t apologize, witch!”
“I’m sorry! I’m sorry!”
If you get a lot of compliments and feel good, you end up making mistakes and your self-esteem gets low again, so you apologize repeatedly.
Yes, this is Pamela.
Sasha patted her forearm and giggled.
“Oppa. He’s a fun guy.”
I think so too.
