It made me happy, too.
So, I continued to do my best in the next round.
Then, the third round begins.
This time, the monster to be dismantled was covered with a cloth and brought in on a cart.
Could it be that it was hidden because it was a rare monster?
Please make it a monster that I have dismantled before.
I looked at the cart as if praying.
When the cloth was taken away, a large green creature came out. It was a gator.
I had dismantled a gator with Uncle Gentz, who was not yet my father at the time.
He disapproved of me working on it, but since I was in financial trouble, he agreed to let me try.
The first time I dismantled a gator, it was tough. They were so different from a Wolf, Horned Rabbit, etc., that my previous experience in dismantling them didn’t help.
I had to learn to dismantle them from scratch.
But Uncle Gentz kindly taught me how to do it.
When I somehow managed to finish dismantling the gator, Uncle Gentz praised me, saying, “You did a great job”.
When I got home that day, I wrote down the disassembly steps on a piece of paper so that I would remember how to disassemble gator carcasses.
Then, I went back to the paper and studied it repeatedly so that the next time I had to dismantle a gator, I would be able to do it.
If I ever had to dismantle a gator again, I would be able to do it.
The second time, I was able to dismantle the gator, albeit slowly, without Uncle Gentz’s help, and I was happy when Uncle Gentz complimented me, saying, “That’s great, I only had to teach you once”.
But after that, I had never worked on a gator again.
I later learned that Uncle Gentz was handed a warning for making me work on a gator.
I felt sorry for Uncle Gentz.
Such a gator was put on the table.
It was a long time ago since I dismantled it.
Remember, I wrote it down on paper, looked at it many times, and studied it. I could clearly recall the procedure of dismantling the gator in my head.
Yeah, it’s okay. I remember how to dismantle it.
I didn’t want Yuna Onee-chan to think I couldn’t do it.
Then, the master of ceremony said, “Then, let’s begin!” and the sound of the drum goes off simultaneously.
Everyone started disassembling at once.
I took a deep breath to calm myself before dismantling the gator.
First, I cut off the belly, flush it with water, and take out this part. Next, I open this part further to secure the magic stone.
Let’s see, next is the skin…
I dismantled them slowly but carefully, remembering the order of dismantling.
My father has often told me that things I dismantle will be sold. So, I have to dismantle them so that the buyers will be happy.
The seller would rather sell something clean than something messy. The commercial guilds would appreciate it.
And if the dismantled items are messy, they would not buy the merchandise.
So we have to do a clean dismantling. That’s what I learned from father.
Besides, if the dismantling was messy, Yuna Onee-chan might not let me dismantle anything anymore, so I must be careful.
I wouldn’t want Yuna Onee-chan to say, “Fina’s dismantling is messy, so you don’t have to do it anymore”.
Dismantling was the bond that held Yuna Onee-chan and I together.
Therefore, I would not want people to think in front of Yuna Onee-chan that I lost in the third round because I was messy.
Even if I don’t make it through to the third round, I am confident that despite losing, I was still able to dismantle it cleanly and neatly.
Besides, Yuna Onee-chan would praise me for my beautiful dismantling even if I lost.
I dismantled it carefully but as fast as I could.
Here, as I recall, I cut here first, then here, and then I take this out.
I worry about my surroundings, but I try not to glance at the others because if I looked at them, I would want to hurry up the dismantling process.
But even though I didn’t want to, I could hear the master of ceremony’s words ringing in my ears.
I heard that Deed-san and Garde-san were dismantling at a tremendous speed.
I wish they would stop making the announcement.
Furthermore, I got curious, sped up the dismantling, and almost broke my pace.
If I tried dismantling a gator faster than I was used to, it would become messy.
