「Rofas-san, can you put the boar onto the table?」

「We haven’t skinned it yet though, is that okay?」

I nodded .

「Also, I need a lot of hot water . 」

「I’ll make it for you . 」

Bryce-kun offered to get me hot water by using his magic, but I declined . That’s a very useful skill though .

「I want to be able to do things with only me, Kirikchan, and Kurtz-kun . What should we do? I guess we’ll have to boil water at the stove and bring it over…」

Bringing over a pot of hot water seems quite difficult . If we pour it into a bucket and… ah, here we go .

There was a large wooden bucket next to the table with the boar on it .

「What? You want hot water? Use this instead . 」

Rofas-san dug through his pocket for something, and then threw it towards me .

「Uwah!」

Please don’t throw things at me! I have slow reflexes!

Catch!

Or at least, I tried to, but whatever it was fell to the ground instead . Uweh… He even threw another one at me .

I picked up the two colored stones that fell .

「A fire magic stone?」

One of them was a fire magic stone, which I was familiar with . The other one was blue though .

「You use it like this . 」

Rofas-san took the blue stone from my hand .

「Fill the bucket with water . 」

He said towards the stone, then placed it into the bucket .

Water began pouring out from the blue stone before my eyes, and the bucket filled up to the brim with water .

「That’s a water magic stone . Once you fill the bucket, you just need to throw the fire magic stone in . Tell it to boil the water . 」

Uwah, amazing! That’s incredibly useful!

「Um, warm the bucket of water to sixty-three degrees . 」

I said, then threw the fire magic stone into the bucket .

「Eh? Sixty-three degrees? What does that mean?」

Kurtz-kun, who suddenly showed up next to me, asked .

Hm?

Do they not have the concept of temperature in this world?

「Um, I’m not trying to get the water to boil . I’m trying to make it so that it’s too hot to touch but warm enough to drink?」

「I see . Yuuri-san, your hometown uses the term sixty-three degrees to describe that state, how useful . 」

Bryce-kun nodded .

「Okay, the hot water’s done . What do you need to do after?」

Ah, that’s right!

「We’re going to peel off the skin while pouring the hot water over the boar!」

I can’t see the entire boar . My gaze collected at my hands, then the hot water and the ladle . I poured the hot water over the brown fur, roughly at where the stomach was supposed to be .

…Ugh .

Don’t think about it, just don’t .

「You just peel the area where the hot water was poured onto, right?」

Rofas-san put his knife against the fur .

I can’t do it anymore .

「Yuuri-oneechan, are you okay? Kirika will pour the hot water for you!」

Kirikchan took the ladle from me and began pouring hot water .

「Oh? Hey, Bryce, come try it yourself . Kurtz, you too . 」

Rofas-san waved for the two of them to come over . I could see Bryce-kun and Kurtz-kun walk around from the corner of my eyes .

「Eh?」

I heard Bryce-kun’s voice .

「Right? It’s so much easier to peel now . 」

Rofas-san said . I sighed in relief .

I’m glad that it worked, even though that was just some information that I had heard about once . At least it wasn’t wrong .

「Uwah, it really is . I can probably do this by myself . 」

I heard Kurtz-kun say next .

「Kirika is helping too! Okay, Kirika is pouring more hot water now~」

I heard Kirikchan’s voice too .

I was the only one not doing anything . I’m sorry . I closed my eyes shut, so I can’t see anything .

I feel sick . I might throw up again .

I just can’t get used to this . As the oldest in the group, I can’t leave the handling of the animals to the children forever .

Ahh, I’m going to throw up .
