I think about it while I bleed the rabbit out.

Now, what do I do with this?

The reason I came to hunt meat in the first place was for Peechan, but Peechan isn't good enough to eat meat yet.

Besides, I was able to hunt this time, but I'd like to feed her when I'm able to hunt regularly.

The biggest problem is that if I take a rabbit with me, my sisters will probably cry.

I'll hide it in the item box for now. It's always fresh and new since it doesn't run out of time.

I finished bleeding out the rabbit and put it in the item box. I decided to hunt some more because it seemed that there was still some time left.

I'm going to hunt since it looks like we still have some time, do you have any prey nearby?

Cui?

Mew tilted her head, twitching her ears.

''Can't find them right away? Then let's look for it on the way home!

''Cui!''

We looked in the direction of our return and explored as we went.

We found two rabbits on the way back. We dug a hole like before and prepared to cast a net.

This time there were two rabbits, but we didn't let the number of rabbits fool us, we just concentrated on plugging the hole!

Unfortunately, one of the rabbits escaped, but I was able to catch one.

I asked Mew to cut its neck again to draw blood.

I still can't get used to cutting its neck and cutting its life to draw blood. But in a world where monsters are rampant and the exchange of life is an everyday occurrence, I'll have to get used to it soon.

When I was thinking about that, I decided to go back to the orphanage since the bloodletting was over.

''Mew, thank you for today...''

Cui, cui, cui.

Just don't tell anyone else about the rabbit until we get some more.

Cui!

And then we returned safely to the orphanage.

At the orphanage, the three beastly children greeted us.

We're home!

Cui.

""Welcome back,"

What do you mean, what happened? Are you hurt?!

When I greeted him, the wolf tribe's Cruz-kun asked impatiently with his nose twitching.

''Eh? I'm not hurt anywhere, okay?

But you smell a lot of blood!

The smell of blood? ...maybe it's the smell of bloodletting? That's the wolf tribe, you have a great nose.

But I'm in trouble. How deceptive. I can tell by looking at it that it's not injured anywhere. Then how do we explain the smell of blood?

I'd say you hunted your prey honestly. If I tell my sister that I killed an animal, she'll cry with pity....

Well, Miu caught a rabbit. And I bled it out, so maybe that's why.

Then I pretended to take it from my backpack and took a rabbit out of the item box.

I thought my sister would cry when she saw the rabbit.

'Wow! The "fool!

And I was pleased.

Even if it was Ilya.

Miu Miu, you've done well.

I'm in a good mood.

"Bloodletting. Well done, Mew Mew!

Cruz-kun also praised Miu Miu.

''Huh? Funny, I thought this place was supposed to be crying, "I'm so cute, bunny!"?

What? Is this being viewed as food?

My brother doesn't know the difference.

Ilya has no problem hunting rabbits too!

I still can't get used to the feeling of this world....

Leaving the three of them praising Mew, I took the rabbit to the Director-sensei.

And to the Director.

Good job, Shu.

He was praised for his work, and in Charu's case

'Thank you! Now the meal will be a little bit more luxurious...

I was delighted.
