"Takeru, Takeru, can I try sitting on it?" Suddenly, Sylphin excitedly asked Takeru.
"Sure!" Seeing Sylphin’s hopeful eyes, Takeru showed a gentle smile and spoke, then gave Kokuo another warning.
"Wow, so amazing!" Soon, Sylphin got her wish, sitting on Kokuo’s head, curiously touching here and there, looking at the surrounding environnt from above.
Seeing Sylphin’s excited appearance, Umaru, Rikka, Yui, and the others below also showed curious expressions, wondering if it was it really that fun.
Even Yukino glanced at it from ti to ti...
About thirty minutes later, everyone was pretty much rested and set off again to continue hunting. Takeru still separated from everyone, hunting along three routes. By afternoon, the mutated monsters on the island were basically cleared out by Takeru and the others.
Afterwards, everyone returned to the landing site, where two warships were already waiting.
"So impressive, that’s the tad black bear? It’s terrifying!"
"Mhm, just getting close feels like my legs are going weak..."
As Takeru and the others arrived, everyone’s eyes turned to Kokuo. Its massive size and fierce aura made the people on the warships feel like they were seeing so prehistoric beast...
However, because Takeru had inford Izumi in advance, no one panicked.
"Takeru-sama, are you all alright?" As Takeru and the others approached, Izumi quickly disembarked from the warship, respectfully greeting Takeru.
"We’re fine. But can you help arrange a place for this big guy?" Seeing Izumi Risa, Takeru spoke calmly.
"Yes, we have so vacant zoos that can accommodate it. But just in case, when you’re not around, we’ll still need to confine it. Please understand." Looking at the huge Kokuo, Izumi swallowed hard.
"I see. That’s fine. Just give it so space to move around." Hearing Izumi’s words, Takeru nodded calmly.
"Thank you for your understanding." Seeing Takeru didn’t bla her for this, Izumi breathed a sigh of relief. After all, although the higher-ups agreed to Takeru keeping this creature, for safety’s sake, its movents naturally needed to be restricted.
Subsequently, Takeru, Yukino, and the others boarded the warship with Kokuo. Another warship sent down a group of fully ard elites to handle the aftermath and recover the mutated monster corpses.
So materials from mutated animals could be used to make special weapons and armor, which were quite valuable.
According to analysis, long-term consumption of mutated animal at could also have body-strengthening effects, as if the at had undergone so mutation.
The simplest test involved five soldiers who started consuming mutated animal at a month ago, at least 500g daily and persisted in training. By now, they already had E-Rank strength.
According to estimates, it would take about five to six months to reach D-Rank. Reaching higher C-Rank was more difficult, requiring consumption of at least C-Rank or above mutated animal at and about a year of high-intensity training.
These were things Izumi had told Takeru and the others. For special existences like Takeru’s group, the military didn’t intend to hide information about these mutated animals.
So after the recent battles, Takeru and everyone collected portions of mutated wild boar at and mutated beef, placing them in the alloy boxes and storing them in their Item Slots to try later.
After all, besides simple strengthening functions, mutated animal at was rich in nutrients, and most importantly, the at was very delicious.
...
By around 6 p.m., Takeru bid farewell to Kokuo at a previously abandoned zoo. Simultaneously, Takeru left a Shadow Person hidden in Kokuo’s shadow, mainly to protect Kokuo or prevent it from harming people.
Most notably, there was a special doll on Kokuo’s shoulder, which is Takeru’s special Nen Beast, the Hakoware.
A big part of why Takeru tad Kokuo was to use it as a stamina provider. After all, mutated animals’ recovery abilities were far stronger than humans’, and Kokuo was among the best of mutated animals.
So providing Takeru with 20 stamina every 10 seconds wasn’t too burdenso for it. Of course, Takeru could also set it so that when his own stamina was sufficient, it wouldn’t drain Kokuo’s stamina.
After continuous developnt, Takeru’s Hakoware had beco more humanized. One type was rcilessly draining soone until death, and this was what Takeru created to assist himself.
With its stamina provision, Takeru could train even more intensely without worrying too much about stamina falling short.
However, having only one provider was still sowhat insufficient, so Takeru planned to ta more in the future if opportunities arose.
After bidding farewell and leaving, Takeru quickly had soone take him back ho.
"I’m back!" Opening the door, Takeru called out.
"Onii-chan, you’re finally back! I’m starving!" Hearing Takeru’s voice, Miu ’ferociously’ pounced on him.
"I told you to go buy sothing to eat first!" Hearing Miu’s words, Takeru rolled his eyes.
"I don’t care. I only want to eat food you cook now!" Miu said, acting spoiled.
"Alright, alright, I get it. You go wait first." Hearing this, Takeru shook his head, amused.
After Miu left, Takeru quietly took out a piece of mutated beef steak at he had prepared earlier from his Item Slot.
Because Takeru had many Item Slots, he had stored quite a bit of mutated animal at in the empty spaces.
"Steak for tonight!" After washing up, Takeru directly told Miu.
"Okay!" Hearing Takeru’s words, Miu quickly nodded.
As ti passed, the aroma of the mutated steak quickly filled the entire house, making the already hungry Miu even more restless. She could only wait eagerly on the side for Takeru to finish preparing the steak.
Afterwards, when Takeru and Miu tasted the steak, they found that compared to ordinary steak, this wasn’t just vastly superior in texture but also much more fragrant and delicious in flavor.
...
Ti flew by. In the blink of an eye, another four days passed. Today, Takeru and the others were about to enter the Reincarnation World again.
During these four days, Takeru took Miu to et Kokuo and also updated Kokuo’s Hakoware. Takeru spent these days training regularly.
Perhaps because of the aptitude potion, Takeru found his training efficiency was over twice as high as before after taking the potion, and his learning speed was also very fast. His basic attributes had improved considerably compared to a few days ago.
Strength: 338 (245), Constitution: 344 (8), Defense: 833 (378), Speed: 340 (4), Spirit: 370 (38)...
As for points, after continuous training during this period, he only had 51,800 left. To others, that might be a lot, but for Takeru, it was still sowhat little.
Additionally, as those who completed the A-Rank mission, Takeru and the others received a considerable reward... a full 300 million yen. After discussion, Takeru directly took 100 million.
If not for Takeru’s insistence, the others were prepared to give Takeru the majority of the reward, as without Takeru, the mission couldn’t have been completed. But Takeru didn’t mind much. Money was enough as long as it covered expenses.
In contrast, strength was more important now. With strength, earning money wasn’t hard.
The remaining 200 million was partly divided among the other seven (Yukino, etc.), and part was kept as team funds for gatherings, building secret bases, or purchasing equipnt. No one objected to this.
For Yui, Umaru, and the others, earning 20 million yen in a day was truly astounding, even if this world’s currency value was similar to the Hunter World.
When the ti was almost up, Takeru bid farewell to Miu, then left ho for his single apartnt.
