21. First Friend (7)

“Ah~ I thought oppa would get a job at a trading company~.”

“Are you the only one who said that I would join?”

“Ah~ But you don’t know the worldly affairs~. Ah, but who is the person behind you?”

“Ah, ah!”

When Pamela caught Sasha’s gaze, she hid behind me and flinched and trembled before moving to my side.

“Pa, Pa, Pamela!”

Maybe because I was nervous, I gave the name first rather than explaining it.

Things will go more smoothly if I explain first.

“He’s a friend I made during the entrance exam. You can also call me a colleague.”

“Chi, friend… heh, heh, hehehe. Yes, yes! Shihan’s… Chi, friend!”

“Ooh~ So, did this person also pass the academy, oppa?”

“Yes. And as stated in the contract. This time I came to receive equipment from a colleague.”

“Aha. That’s why you came. Somehow~ I was wondering why my brother came to visit when there was still time for the academy entrance ceremony. By the way…”

Sasha looked at Pamela with thin eyes, and she gave a very smirk.

“Your brother is also a man.”

Then she lightly tapped my chest with her hand.

“What are you talking about?”

I know what you’re talking about.

There are many similar scenes in the subculture genre.

However, in part, I pretend not to know to fit the concept.

“Ah, pretending not to know~ Even if you make a colleague in the entrance exam…”

Sasha’s smile became more smirk.

“To bring such a pretty woman with you. Ohh~ I see. Oppa, that’s what he likes.”

“Yes, yes, pretty? Who, who?”

Meanwhile, even when Pamela is praised by Sasha, her low self-esteem shows her curiosity rather innocently.

“Of course… I’m talking about Pamela~.”

“Yes?! I-I am yes, pretty? Oh, that’s right. It’s like saying hello. Thank you. Heh, hehehehe, the president of the store says that even for me like Song Chung-yi and Iha!”

“…?”

Sasha, who tilted her head at Pamela’s reaction, gestured lightly towards me and asked her to bend down.

As she leaned over, Sasha whispered to me in a small voice.

“Brother, why are you like this?”

“It’s just a little low self-esteem. Let it go in moderation.”

“Isn’t that a little bit?”

“Let it go.”

That’s how you treat Pamela.

Sasha gently fell on me, then she asked with her usual smile.

“Anyway, nice to meet you again, brother! Then let’s go to the warehouse with Pamela!”

“Before that, I have something to tell you.”

“Are you going to give it to me? Hoo~ Is that so? Are you giving me a present to commemorate passing the entrance exam, oppa? Hey~ We’re just in a contract relationship, so you don’t have to bring anything like that.”

“If it’s a gift, you can call it a gift.”

“Huh? Really?”

While I was talking in her playful way, Sasha looked up at me and nodded her head, blinking as she listened to me.

“Yes. I hunted Half Moon Bear with Pamela this time. I will present the corpse to you.”

Upon learning the contents of her gift, Sasha immediately shook her head with her usual smile.

“Giving a corpse as a gift~ Oppa has a very peculiar taste~.”

Even as she said that, Sasha walked out of her way and passed her Pamela.

“Let’s go to the disassembly department’s warehouse quickly! Half Moon Bear’s skin is perfect for clothes!”

The gift of my unusual taste seems to have been liked by Sasha.

Arrived at the dismantling department warehouse of Cats & Co.

There was a strong smell of blood in the warehouse that could be called the dismantling department, and cold air surrounded the surroundings to keep it fresh.

“Boss, what happened here…?”

The eyes of the staff who were working on the monster’s corpse were focused on us.

“Wow!”

Pamela hid herself behind me as I was not looking at her.

“Everyone! I’ve brought you a new task! Come on~ Oppa~ Take it out quickly!”

“Okay. But where should I take it out?”

“Um~ Roughly here?”

After going to the location Sasha pointed out, I took out the corpses of Half Moon Bears from the inventory one by one and piled them up.

Even the staff just watched until the four Half Moon Bears.

“Huh? Huh huh?”

“Ha, so many Half Moon Bears? You put in?”

“What an expensive subspace ring you have…”

However, it turned into astonishment when the 5th animal passed.

According to Sasha, the sub-space ring is a method that allows you to put only a certain amount of items in a certain space.

Of course, you can put enough materials, equipment, and food after dismantling it, but if you put a few whole corpses of half moon bears in, the capacity will be full in no time.

In order to further increase the capacity of the basic subspace, time and skill are required, and the price of a subspace ring with a lot of space increases accordingly.

That’s why the staff are shocked when they see me taking out the Half Moon Bear.

After taking out 8 Half Moon Bears, I ended up taking out the body of the last remaining Red Half Moon Bear.

“That’s it.”

“Wait a minute, oppa! Isn’t that the one you pulled out last, Red Halfmoon Bear?!”

“Certainly, the belly is red unlike other objects.”

“Wow, how nice! I can now sell premium coats!”

Apparently, the skin of the Red Half Moon Bear is sold at a much higher price than the other Half Moon Bears.

“Wait! Belly! Is there any wound on the tummy! Check! Check it now!”

“”Yes!””

With a spirited spirit, the staff gathered around and overturned the Red Half Moon Bear.

And they confirmed that the body of the Red Half Moon Bear had holes only around the neck and pit and the red half moon was undamaged.

“Good!”

“The ship is safe!”

“The price has gone up several times now!”

“Sasha, is that important?”

“It doesn’t matter! Whether it’s made with code! Whether it’s made with gloves! Or it’s made with carpet! Red Half Moon Bear’s value increases only when its belly is alive! By the way…”

Sasha looked at her corpses with twinkling eyes.

“All of the leather! It’s in great condition with almost no scratches! As expected, oppa!”

“One has more scars than the other.”

At first, I pointed at the guy I caught to check Pamela’s magic effect.

“Ah, that level can’t even be covered with scars! I mean leather with real scars. I’m talking about the ones with sword cuts and arrow marks all over the place to the point where you can clearly see that you’ve worked hard.

On the other hand, the corpses that my brother caught! Well, there’s no wound except where it’s completely pierced! Rather, how is it possible to drill in a straight line like this? That’s more interesting to me.”

“It’s skill.”

Skill is also skill.

“But with Pamela’s help, he was able to catch it easily.”

“Ohh~ Really?”

Poof! Sasha’s gaze turned to Pamela.

“Wow…!”

“Pamela-sama is amazing too!”

“Oh, no! Now, all I caught is Shi, Shi, Shihan. Well, I just cast some magic behind me… hehehe, hee, hehehe…”

Pamela has low self-esteem, but it seems like she’s happy because I praised her recently, even though she can’t immediately acknowledge compliments from others.

“f*ck… Cha! First of all, I’m going to work on this quickly!”

“Wow, this freshness as if I just caught it. I really like the subspace ring.”

“Oops, the knife doesn’t go in well.”

“Try starting with the hole here.”

“Ugh! It’s tough as expected. You’ll have to use a lot of strength for this.”

Behind Sasha, you can hear the struggles of the Dismantling Department staff as they hurry to skin the Red Half Moon Bear.

Seeing them like that, a thought came to my mind.

“Sasha, they are struggling.”

“Well, it’s not that easy to break up. Besides, it’s not just a Half Moon Bear, it’s a Red Half Moon Bear. But don’t worry! Our staff are experts too!”

It’s definitely not impossible at all, but it feels like I’m working harder than usual.

But how about using this method?

“But it could have been easier, wouldn’t it?”

“I’m sure that’s right? Do you have any ideas?”

“I don’t have it. But… Pamela might be able to.”

“Yeah?! Me, me, me!?”

Pamela was taken aback when the subject suddenly turned to herself.

“Pamela, the crushing nail you use is to weaken the opponent and reduce their defensive power, right?”

“Yes, yes…”

“If you use crushing nails on that corpse, wouldn’t it be easier to skin it?”

“Uh, uh uh… Now, I’m not sure.”

I’m not going to use magic to dismantle it.

“Then let’s try it. Maybe we’ll find a new application for magic.”

“Oh, okay.”

“Hmm~ Everyone~ Back off for a moment! Here’s the wizard…”

“Pamela is a witch.”

“The witch has something to test.”

At Sasha’s words, the staff immediately withdrew from the Red Half Moon Bear.

“Pamela, can you lower the impalement power so that the leather is not damaged?”

“Uh… uh, I’ll try that too. Dig, nails to crush!”

A translucent nail appears in the air and flies towards the corpse of Red Half Moon Bear.

The crushing nails, which were smaller in size than those used in actual combat, hit but did not pierce 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 hit.

“Then hurry up and try again. The magic effect doesn’t last very long.”

“Yes! Everyone, hurry up and try again!”

An employee struggling to cut the Red Halfmoon Bear hide immediately approached and inserted a knife into the hide.

“Uh… uh uh! What the hell! The knife that didn’t go in well until just now goes in much easier!”

“Cut it quickly! It’s easy to peel off with a sheath!”

“Hey! The leather peels off much better!”

From noble mtl dot com

As expected, due to the debuff that lowered the defense, the staff could easily cut the hide.

“Ugh! It takes strength to take it off again…!”

After the scabbard was finished, the duration of the crushing nails ran out in the midst of skinning.

“Looks like the duration has run out.”

“Wow… that’s amazing! It’s such a short time, but the difficulty level has been reduced so much! Pamela! That’s amazing!”

“Yes!? Ah, no~ I, I’m not that great~ It’s thanks to Mr. Shihan telling me how to do things that I couldn’t even come up with with a brain that’s not as good as a monkey like me. Heh, hehehe…. “

“Pamela, if you don’t mind, can you help them for a while? We’ll just have to shoot the crushing nails until we’re all skinned.”

“Yes, yes! That… I think I can shoot a lot by using less mana to lower the power.”

It has low power but can apply a lot of debuffs.

I heard very good information.

“Then please.”

“Yes, yes!”

Pamela used a crushing nail to help the staff in the disassembly department when skinning Red Half Moon Bear as well as Half Moon Bear.

“Awesome, witch!”

“Yeah~ As expected, those who use magic are different!”

“Oh, no! I-I was just ordered by Shi, Shihan…”

“Thank you!”

“Thanks for making my work easier!”

“Here please!”

“Heh, hehehe, hehehehe… Please, leave it to me!”

It was very satisfying to see Pamela, who was so excited to receive the respect and appreciation from many people.

Just.

“Oh, the cuts on the meat.”

Perhaps it was because of his heightened emotions, the crushing nail with a little bit of power dug into the skinned part.

Pamela’s wispy smile hardened at once, and she lowered her head.

“Uh, ahh! I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry for being a stupid witch who can’t even control her power!”

“Oh, no! It’s not leather, so it’s okay!”

“You don’t have to apologize, witch!”

“Oops, sorry! Sorry!”

When you feel good after receiving a lot of compliments, you make a mistake and apologize again as your self-esteem drops again.

Yes, this is Pamela.

Sasha patted her forearm and giggled.

“Brother. He is an interesting person.”

I think so too.
