“Wow!” Miss Katagiri gasped, unable to hide her surprise. “I didn’t think there were animals this large around here!”

I doubt that anything like this exists in the Nordic region. Miss Katagiri confirmed my hunch—she said that Nordic deer were only about as large as horned deer.

She helped us place the deer onto the carrier, which we’d constructed using logs Rike had cut for us. As we were heading back to the cabin, Miss Katagiri pointed at the carrier.

“Wait, when was this made?” she asked. “There couldn’t have been enough time to build something like this while we dragged the deer from the lake. Did you make it yesterday?”

“Heh heh!” Rike chuckled smugly, as proud as can be. She walked with one of my axes slung over her shoulder. “Boss made this tool, and it can cut down any large tree in one swing!”

I remembered people telling me how weirded out they’d been by the exceptional quality of my tools. Apparently, Rike wanted to boast about the axe’s capabilities a bit.

“A-Amazing!” Miss Katagiri gasped once more and turned to me.

How many more times will she be left astonished during her time staying with us? My mind was filled with trivial thoughts.

After dragging the tree deer to the cabin, we strung it up in a tree. Since Krul had done most of the heavy lifting, Diana and the rest of our family praised her to bits, which put our drake in high spirits. I usually told Krul that she was free to play around with Lucy while we cleaned and dismembered our catch, but she would often watch us work. Then, after we finished, Krul would romp around the yard with Lucy. I think she’s interested in the (rather loud) process and wants to cheer us on.

We had plenty of skilled hands at work, so the family managed to cut up the deer within a few minutes. We left sinew, hide, and horns out in the sun—I would pop them into our storage for later use once they were dry. Most of the meat was prepped for drying or salt-curing, though I reserved a portion of fresh venison for us to cook immediately.

After all was said and done, the sun was sinking low on the horizon. Diana and the others would be practicing their swordplay in the yard, and Miss Katagiri planned to watch them with Hayate on her shoulder.

I, on the other hand, had to prepare dinner. And I knew just how I wanted to use the raw meat.
