The duo then separated, each walking in a different direction. Leislet went straight toward the deer as she was the one who was going to attack it.
Nevertheless, she didn't want to alert it before she was close enough to the animal. These creatures were very wary and had pretty great senses that could detect the smallest disturbance in the air and had the reaction speed that made full use of those sharp senses.
Luckily, Leislet was able to get close enough without making the animal discover her presence.
Then, she looked at Acht waiting for him to position himself slightly far away. The two nodded simultaneously.
*Swish*
Instantly, Leislet jumped out of the bushes and attacked the animal with her bare hands. The deer shrieked as it immediately started turning to dust.
Leislet smiled and landed on the ground and obstructed the way for the dust to escape.
She wanted the deer to move in a certain direction where Acht was waiting. This seemed to work as she saw the dust changing direction and flying toward the area where Acht was hiding.
The deer kept its particles form for a good 2 minutes as it flew left and right while trying to avoid Leislet who kept following it from afar.
'This should be enough.' She thought and retreated back to the bushes.
The deer saw her go away but didn't return to its normal form at all.
Acht who was close by kept waiting patiently for the perfect moment to hunt it down.
After almost 10 minutes, the deer finally seemed to let its guard down and started regrouping its particles and forming its body.
When it was finally back to its normal form, Acht immediately sneaked behind it and then pulled out his sword.
The midnight song glinted slightly in the sun.
*Slash*
The boy then sent a slash casually, he didn't have to put much strength into it to be lethal. All it had to do was to hit its target.
The deer felt the danger and looked behind it, however, it didn't see anything which made its reaction speedway slower
It was still pretty fast but not fast enough to avoid the camouflaged attack.
*Swish*
"Wuhhhhhh!!" The deer shrieked loudly as it got hit in the side and blood splattered everywhere.
It tried to turn into dust again but it was way too late. The hit was very lethal and the deer could only fall down in defeat as it breathed its last breaths.
Acht got out of his hiding and inspected the animal. It had indeed died immediately from the hit. A smile bloomed on his face. It was such a lucky encounter for him to find this amazing animal randomly.
*Boing*
"Yayyy!! We did it!" Leislet shouted as she hugged the back of Acht's head with a triumphant look. Her boobs were big enough to cover half of his head.
Acht sighed and released himself from her before pulling out a knife.
"Are you going to skin it here?" She asked.
"Pretty much. I don't want the meat to be spoiled before we reach the village." He said.
Leislet nodded and sat down close by looking at Acht working on the deer.
He had learned how to skin animals before back in his previous world and so it wasn't a hard task to do. It barely took him 30 minutes to finish his work.
He had separated the bones, the organs, and the meat so skillfully that the deer was now nothing but a pile of skin and fur.
After that, Acht looked at Leislet.
"Go get some wood. We're gonna cook some of it here." He said.
The woman nodded and walked away. Meanwhile, Acht cut the meat into bite-sized pieces and seasoned them with the spices he had in his spatial ring.
He had made sure to buy every possible spice he needed before coming here. Eating bland food was a nightmare for him.
Then, Leislet came back with some woods she shopped off from some trees.
"Hurry. Hurry! I can't wait to eat this delicious meat." She said as she put down the woods.
"If you're that impatient. Why don't you cook it by yourself." He asked
Leislet found herself speechless from his question and averted her eyes quickly.
"It's…It's…complicated."
Acht smiled as he saw her fall into his trap.
"Aree? Wait, don't tell me…you can't cook?" He asked with a surprised look.
Leislet's face turned red from his question and looked down even more.
Acht didn't stop at that as he tried to tease her more.
"How could Mrs. Leislet, the previous president of the hunter association and the best light user in existence not know how to make some barbecue? Tsk, tsk." He shook his head in clear disappointment.
"H-Hey…I can't just know how to do everything!" She shouted in protest.
"I see…What a shame! If you had been a good cook, you could've found a husband easier, you know." He said casually.
"You…You.." She muttered as a huge frown appeared on her face.
His words somehow made her resolve to pump up. So, grabbed the meat sticks from Acht's hands and shouted.
"You! I will show you how I can cook!! Don't underestimate me! I will make the best barbecue you could ever taste in your entire life!"
"Wait… I'm just joking." The boy replied as he saw her throw the meat in the fire carelessly.
"And to make sure that it will cook perfectly, I will throw even more wood there to make the fire stronger." She said.
"No! Stop, you idiot!!" He grabbed her hand before she threw the wood in.
But, it was already too late at that moment. The meat was soon engulfed in fire and Acht had to pull it out quickly.
"Black….the meat turned black." He muttered as he looked at the sticks.
They had all been overcooked.
He then shifted his eyes to glare at the culprit.
Leislet was also surprised by how the meat turned.
"Oops. I made a small mistake, tehee." She said,
"I'm going to beat you up." He said as he started cracking his fingers with an angry look.
"C-Calm down, Acht. It's just some meat…" Leislet said, trying to calm him down. Her face was now sweating buckets.
"...Bend over." He said.
"Kyaaaaah!!"
*Slap*
