Part Three

“All right. Everyone’s here, so shall we continue where we left off yesterday?”

“Yeah! Let’s do it!” Amy replied enthusiastically.

When we had returned to the apartment yesterday, I had given her some of the meat. Since she’d seemed interested in the bicorn, she came along to finish butchering it with us today.

Amy didn’t have any previous experience with butchering, so I wasn’t really counting on her help, but she was doing her best with the cleanup. According to Gramps, since Amy was my apprentice, it was my job to provide her with these sorts of experiences. Amy’s followers Rocky and Birdie had come along as well.

“We’ll now start the butchering process,” I announced. “Just like yesterday, Agris will give general instructions, Gramps will periodically use Wind magic and Water magic to clean the area of debris, and he’ll deal with any idiots who come around too. I’ll be tanning the hide, so Jin, you and the others keep butchering based on Agris’s instructions. Ladies, the odd jobs are yours. First, I’ll need you to make some stoves. I have a bunch of other things I want you to do too, but I can tell you that when the time goes. As for the followers, you’re in charge of keeping away any monsters or other idiots drawn in by the smell. Rocket, you can lead that group.”

And so we continued where we left off the day before. First, we set up the place where Jin and the others would butcher the bicorn. I used magic to harden the earth and then set a wooden plank on top of it. I made two little platforms like this. The first would be for butchering, and the second was for tanning the hide.

“Everyone get back, I’m going to disinfect the platforms.”

I burned the platform with Fire magic, then disinfected the plank with boiling water. Finally, I used Cure and Antidote for good measure. Now, we could really get down to work.

“Hm, now to tan the hide. First, I’ll need to remove the leftover fat.”

Although Jin and the others had removed the fat when they had skinned the bicorn, there was still some left on the hide. I used a knife to carefully scrape it off. Once that was done, I washed the hide and cleaned any dirty parts of its surface. Finally, I was done with the basic preparation. Then...

“Rocket! You’re up.”

Now, it was Rocket’s turn. A skin is turned into leather by using alum, tannin, and the like on skin that’s been salted. There was another method of tanning done by chewing. I didn’t know where to get alum, though. There was tannin in teas, but I didn’t know how to use it in the tanning process. The chewing method might’ve worked with a small piece of skin, but it would be impossible with something this huge.

So since I was in a pickle, I had to ask for Rocket’s help. Tanning removed protein and fat from the skin to make it softer, so my idea was that Rocket could dissolve the fat I couldn’t remove and soften it in the process.
