Dinner. 23:48
* * *
Under the starry sky, in a clearing that opened up in the middle of the forest, a girl sat next to a crackling bonfire, roasting at.
The black-haired, black-eyed girl, shunned as a “cursed child” in this world… It was Emi.
She coiled the【Black Arms】extended from her left shoulder around her body to keep warm, and with the【Black Arms】extended from her right shoulder, she grabbed the at and seared it over the fire.
…Juuu.
Fat began to drip from the chunk of at, which was as large as her upper body, making a popping sound.
It dripped into the flas of the bonfire, making a sound.
A slightly burnt but appetizing sll began to spread all around.
The surface of the at, bathed in flas, changed from red to white and then to a burnt brown color, shining and glistening.
Emi stared at that at.
No smile or anything.
Just completely expressionless.
Her beautiful face had hardly ever made an expression since she was born.
However, that did not indicate the fact that she lacked emotions.
She gulped.
Her stomach also growled.
The mont Emi heard those words from Extra-sama, the resident in her brain, she bit into the at!
Instantly, the flavor of the at spread in her mouth!!
Ignoring Extra-sama’s happy comnt, Emi single-mindedly devoured the at.
This at was really delicious.
A little tough.
It had a little gay sll too.
Even with that, it was plenty delicious.
Just by roasting it, it was as delicious as the smoked at of Zamago Toad, which had been processed by human hands.
That was simply astonishingly delicious.
Above all, it was wonderful that it contained a trendous amount of magical power.
It was very satisfying.
This beautiful girl, who would basically eat anything that entered her mouth, be it insects or tree trunks, did not have a broken sense of taste.
She properly possessed the ability to perceive delicious things as delicious, and in fact, this at was delicious.
“Nom nom… Nom nom nom…”
Emi crushed that huge chunk of at, bones and all, and swallowed it into her stomach in no ti.
Extra-sama’s statent of was an irresponsible one made because she wanted to eat the at as soon as possible, and most of the at was still raw, but Emi devoured it anyway.
Then, she casually stood up and waddled to the back.
Lying there was the corpse of a giant deer with pure white fur, boasting the size of a single-family house.
It was Emi’s prey for tonight.
“……”
Emi thrust the claws of her【Black Arms】into the body of that pure white deer without any preparation and tore off the at with a ripping sound.
Once again, a chunk of at the size of her upper body was created.
Emi returned to the bonfire, sat down, and began searing that chunk of at over the flas again.
Extra-sama’s voice was lively.
Emi’s heart was also lively.
But she was expressionless.
With the flickering of the flas reflected in her jet-black eyes, she just silently roasted the at.
* * *
Hunting this pure white deer was really tough.
Emi recalled that struggle while munching on the at with relish.
First of all, it lived deep, deep, deep in the heart of this naless forest.
This pure white deer inhabited the depths of the forest that even Emi wouldn’t normally think of approaching.
On this day, because Emi had rampaged on the highway, most of the prey nearby had fled, and she had to go hunting in such a remote area.
Now, in the depths of such a forest, there was a mysterious spring that faintly glowed even at night, and this pure white deer was standing by that fantastical spring.
This deer’s【Presence Detection】was trendous, accurately sensing Emi’s presence as she peeked at the deer from the shade of a distant tree, and the deer took the initiative to attack first.
She had a feeling she heard such a voice, but she didn’t rember well.
Because the battle with the pure white deer beca so fierce that she couldn’t rember such trivial things.
The pure white deer was not only powerful with its kicks unleashed from its huge body, but it could also freely manipulate water, transform it into countless blades, and attack Emi with them, which was extrely troubleso.
Each of those attacks was so powerful that even the current Emi was convinced that she wouldn’t get off easily if she took a direct hit!
It was a terrifying enemy.
After a long, fierce battle, in the end, Emi covered her entire body, including her head, with【Black Arms】and charged with the montum of a cannonball, piercing the pure white deer’s heart with a new offensive and defensive integrated technique, hunting it down.
She had a feeling that the pure white deer muttered so kind of aningful line when it died, but she didn’t rember well.
Because Emi was completely hungry and exhausted.
Even so, that muttering sohow reached Emi.
(Huh, do you hear sothing? Isn’t this deer talking?)
That’s why she thought such a thing.
But.
Extra-sama, putting aside her own fantasy nature, completely denied the fantastical possibility of the big deer.
Extra-sama was also hungry.
She didn’t care if the deer talked or danced, she just wanted to eat that at right away.
And since Emi shared that feeling, she imdiately switched her thoughts and began searching for a place where it was easy to start a bonfire while dragging the huge corpse of the pure white deer.
Behind her, the faintly glowing spring gradually reduced its luminosity, and eventually, that fantastical scene completely sank into darkness, but Emi didn’t particularly care about that either.
The night is dark.
That’s the law of nature.
The problem lies with the spring that was glowing for so incomprehensible reason.
Since it’s night, it should obediently beco dark.
When the sun rises, it should beautifully sparkle and shine, receiving that light.
That’s what nature is.

“Crunch crunch, crunch crunch…”
Now, at present, Emi was searing the antlers of the pure white deer, tossing them into her mouth, and devouring them.
If it weren’t for the hard sound emitted from her mouth, she would look like a cute beautiful girl munching on an extra-large churro under the starry sky.
Deer antlers weren’t particularly tasty, but they contained more magical power than the at.
So, even if it was clearly not an edible part, she would eat it.
It was Emi’s way of acknowledging the life she had hunted and killed.
“Aooooohnn!!!”
And then, it happened.
Faintly, but the sound of a wolf howling reached Emi’s ears from sowhere far away.
Reflexively, Emi turned around!
More than half of the venison still remained!
(This at is mine… I won’t give it to anyone!!!)
Creak creak creak crack crack!
A huge amount of killing intent overflowed from Emi’s small body, making the surrounding space creak!
Her magical power, so dense and grueso that it could be visualized like a pitch-black haze, began to drift all around!
This was like a barrier unique to her, developed from【Intimidation】.
By continuously emitting a terrifyingly powerful presence in that place, most monsters wouldn’t approach.
Therefore, with this, the possibility of her venison being stolen was greatly reduced.
However, it was not absolute.
It was possible that a carnivorous monster as powerful as this pure white deer was lurking in this forest.
Upon hearing what seed to be a wolf’s howl, she, who had relaxed a bit after finishing the fierce battle, finally ca to that realization.
But, even so.
No matter how powerful an enemy attacked to target the venison.
Emi had no intention of stepping back.
(If you’re coming, then co… I’ll tear you to pieces!!!)
Emi jumped onto the huge venison while fiercely burning an excessive fighting spirit in her heart against the hypothetical enemy.
And while being on high alert of her surroundings with her nerves on edge… she began to devour the raw at of the pure white deer… at a furious pace!
If sothing ca to target this at, she could just kill it.
But a more definite counterasure to protect the at than that was to devour the at before sothing ca.
Under such clever thinking, Emi began to act.
* * *
On this day, the wise but arrogant guardian sacred beast Nagan perished.
The shining mysterious spring praised in the founding legend of Naganahate lost its power.
It was an event on a certain winter day.
Arc 13, complete!! (Just kidding)
【Giant Animals】
Emi’s favorite food.
They usually live long lives while carrying various circumstances.
But regardless of that, they are hunted by Emi.
【Guardian Sacred Beast】
Beasts that have been given wisdom and power by the gods to fulfill various roles are called sacred beasts.
Among them, sacred beasts that play the role of protecting sothing, such as land, country, or a specific person, are guardian sacred beasts.
The guardian sacred beast Nagan, who was unfortunately hunted this ti, was considered a high-ranking land god-like existence, with its na engraved in the country na (Naganahate).
Other guardian sacred beasts that have appeared so far include Jarnayaharma (appeared in Arc 4, captured and eaten by Emi after a fierce battle), and as a sacred beast, the wise owl Forluowl (appeared in Arc 2, eaten by Emi before she noticed) and others.
【Magic Power Content】
The amount of magical power contained in at and other foods.
The higher the magic power content, the more happily Emi eats that food, but if an ordinary person does that, they will apparently suffer from “mana poisoning” (ntioned in Arc 6).
The reason why Emi doesn’t suffer from magic power sickness is a mystery that gets close to the core of ‘The Reincarnated Extra,’ so it probably won’t be revealed for a long ti.
【Weelow】
Referring to the Water Goddess Weelow.
Apparently, by placing guardian sacred beasts in various places, arranging water veins, regulating the flow of magical power, it contributes to the stability of the world.
Appeared in Arc 4.
