The Butcher Shop in the Demon Realm - Chapter 10

“A forest elf… It’s a pain, but I’ll have to kill them with fear.”

This elf species is mostly made up of individuals with poor muscle mass.

The problem lies in the fact that they rarely consume meat, and their meat quality is also very tough.

I once thought about simmering it for a long time, but the meat is so thin that it just melts away.

Tough, thin, and scarce, those are the three problematic qualities of elf meat.

However, I’ve developed a way to make these elves taste better, and my master praised me for it.

It’s a simple solution.

“If it’s tough, make it even tougher; if it’s thin, make it easier to eat; if it’s scarce, make it a delicacy.”

To be specific, I make the meat tough and rigid with fear.

Then, each part is chopped up into small pieces that can be picked up and snacked on like jerky.

As for quantity, there are so few elves to begin with, so they are automatically considered a delicacy. Even for elves, there are only two rare long ears per individual, along with small br3asts, and when the ovaries are carefully processed, they sell like hotcakes as premium cuts.

Elves extremely dislike having their ears touched by anyone other than their family. There are even stories where an elf, upon having their ears licked by a stranger, committed suicide.

As a result, when killing elves, there are too many who torture their ears, making it difficult to obtain properly processed ears.

◆◆◆◆◆

I took the forest elf I had kept tied to the wall of the shop and pulled her along to the workshop.

“…………”

Just like when I brought her in, she wore restraining a collar and shackles, dressed only in underwear and a poncho-style garment. She didn’t say a word, her gaze unfocused. Her lips were dry and cracked, and she looked neither appetizing nor desirable.

I chained the elf’s wrist shackles to the ceiling of the workshop, made her raise her arms like Emmy, cut her clothes off with a knife, and began washing her entire body with warm water poured over her head.

She flinched when I touched her ears, but quickly returned to being unresponsive.

“Well it’s easier if you don’t talk…”

“Eek!? N-no… stop!”

Hugging the elf from behind and grabbing her br3asts, I took one of her long ears into my mouth and rolled my tongue around it, and as if her earlier apathy had been a lie, she began twisting her body and resisting.

“Oh, so you can talk.”

“H-how… dare… you… I’ll… kill you!”

Just licking her ear a little caused this much hatred.

It’s said that when a forest elf falls for a man, she devotes herself so much to the man that it usually scares him off, but seeing them like this I can’t envision it.

I combined drugs from the pharmacy to heighten her fear, make her more sensitive to pain, relax her muscles, and ensure she wouldn’t die from shock, then filled three syringes with the solution to inject.

“Now, settle down.”

As she saw me coming closer with the syringe in my hand, she tried to escape by shaking her body even more, but her br3asts, which were quite large for an elf swayed and trembled with each movement of her body.

“No! What are you… what do you want to do…?”

“………..”

“Stop! I-I’ll… kill you!”

“Alright, alright, enough with that.”

I knelt before the elf, searching for a vein as I stroked her smooth thighs, and then administered the first injection.

“Ah…!?”

It’s a standard-sized needle, so she’ll probably just feel a little prick.

But starting with the second syringe, it won’t be the same.

Both the fear and pain are intensifying.

The fear of being injected with an unknown substance and the fear of the needle piercing her skin will soon overwhelm her.

“Two more syringes, where do you want them?”

“Ah! No, please stop… I don’t want the pain…”

I roughly grabbed the elf’s br3asts who had already started to get a little teary-eyed and then injected the syringe into her erect n1pple.

“Ah!! It hurts!! No, it’s painful! Stop!”

“Now, the final one… it’s going to be behind, so don’t move, okay?”

I decided to inject the last syringe into her anus.

I could have chosen the eyeball, but I didn’t want to damage it since it’s a valuable material. This is the next most sensitive part, and I also wanted to make sure she could defecate, so I decided on this spot.

I moved behind the elf, grabbed her cute buttcheek with one hand, and spread open her anus.

“S-Stop… what are you doing… stop it… please.”

“I told you not to move.”

She seems to be trying to struggle, but perhaps because the drug has already started to take effect, she doesn’t seem able to move her body much.

I place the needle against her anus and thrust it in all at once.

“――――!!??”

The elf lets out a voiceless scream as her body shudders.

After making sure that the contents of the syringe had been completely injected, I make sure water began to flow onto the floor of the workshop.

“W-What kind of drug… is this?”

“Various things. At the very least, don’t worry about it leaking out. Even if you make a mess, it will all wash away. Anyway, what’s your name?”

“W-Who would tell you…”

While saying such things, it seems the medicine began to take effect, and I could hear a loud gurgling sound from the elf’s intestines, followed by a light brown liquid starting to flow down their inner thighs.

“No, I don’t want to… I don’t want this… I can’t believe it…”

All that’s left is for me to give them the laxative through their mouth and wait an hour, and the preparation will be done.

◆◆◆◆◆

The elf, whose stomach, intestines, and bladder were probably completely cleaned, seemed to have given up resisting and stopped speaking, just like at the beginning.

But that’s the end of it. The wrists, being suspended, must be in considerable pain. They seem to be enduring the pain, with furrowed brows.

“Now the blindfold.”

“No, what… stop it already…”

If I don’t blindfold them, no matter how strong their heart is, some people will see what’s happening to them and end up dying on their own.

I placed a chisel-like tool on the elf’s adorable little toe and struck the back of the chisel with a wooden mallet, making a sharp thud.

A crisp snap rang out, and the little toe came off effortlessly, bl00d gushing from the wound.

“――!? N-nooo, aaahhh!! It hurts, it hurts!! Aaaahhh!!”

Ignoring the shrill scream that echoed for a moment, I cauterized the wound with heated iron to stop the bleeding, then proceeded to sever the little toe on the opposite side in the same manner.

“It hurts, it hurts! No, please, stop! Please, stop!!”

If I hadn’t cleaned her insides out, she would have peed on my head.

“For now, I’m going to cut off all your toes, so just stay quiet.”

“Nooo, please, stop! I’ll do anything, anything you want! Please, stop!”

The elf, with goosebumps all over their body, appears to be in a light state of panic, but the process has only just begun.

“I’m only going to peel off the nails on your hands, so don’t worry.” (TL Note: I tripled checked, the raw says hands… weird.)

Saying that, I started removing the ring and middle toes from both feet, one after the other.

◆◆◆◆◆

“――――Hi…yu…”

Both feet were already fully separated at the ankle joint, and the elf woman’s throat seemed to have been crushed, her mouth moving open and closed but only produced a raspy, air-leaking sound.

“Good grief… of course the vigilante corps would come to investigate.”

She cried and screamed so loudly that her voice must have carried outside, and an acquaintance in the vigilante corps came by just to check. I feel bad for causing trouble.

For now, with both feet gone, I take a look at the elf who’s now hanging only by her wrists.

“…ki…ll… me…”

Whether she was getting used to the sensation of her body being disassembled without losing consciousness, or her mind had simply gone into standby mode, it was hard to tell.

I prepared a potent consciousness-restoring medicine, mixed with a potion to heal the throat, and poured it into the elf’s mouth.

“Cough cough… gasp… I-I can’t… I don’t want this anymore… I want to die… kill me… it hurts, it really hurts… just let me die…”

Seeing that she seemed to have regained consciousness, I decided to resume my work without wasting any time.

◆◆◆◆◆

In the end, after removing the pelvis, securing the ovaries, extracting the internal organs, and taking out the heart, the elf woman became nothing but a lump of flesh.

Each part of the body is terrifyingly stiff from fear and pain.

Then, by taking advantage of rigor mortis, I will separate the meat from the chest and both arms, carefully handle the ears and eyeballs, and dispose of the rest as industrial waste.

“Haa… I’m so tired…”

Up until now, no customers had come, but it’s almost time for dinner preparations to start, so the number of customers will probably go up.

The other ingredient, the catwoman, had completely fainted and wet herself at the sound of the elf’s screaming and was no longer moving, so I decided to roll her onto the floor of the workspace.

“――Pardon me for the intrusion.”

“Ah, welcome!”

Right at that moment, I heard a customer’s voice, so I headed to the front of the store to begin the day’s business.
