Camilo says to me. If it's a normal longsword, I can just make it and be done with it, but if it's a family heirloom, well...
I don't know how long you're going to keep this as an heirloom, but if you're going to call it an heirloom, you're going to need a good sheath for it.
Can you do it by tomorrow?
This is Marius.
Well, it's as close as I can get it, but I'll have it done by the end of the day.
Don't make it too fancy. The fake scabbard wasn't too flashy.
I see. I'll make it look like that.
Yes, please.
At this point, they left. Next time I'll come back for full delivery. Well, here we go.
The foundation will be made of wood. I'll choose an old, tightly packed piece of wood from the supply. You'll need a good eye for this. If it is a family heirloom and it is made of new wood, you can say that it was recently rebuilt. If it were a national treasure or a sacred artifact, it would be quite difficult to rebuild the scabbard.
Place the sword on the wood, measure its size, and then hollow out the wood in the shape of the sword. Prepare two sheets of wood, one half hollowed out and one half hollowed out, stick them together with nikahawa, and make the outer shape with a high quality model knife that I made on a trial basis. Since it seems that this knife can be used for carving as well, I put a single pattern in the middle, like a flower stem and leaves.
When you have finished, clean the entire surface with a knife. This is like shaving.
Next, take a cloth and apply beeswax to the entire surface. This is an expensive item, but it is a family heirloom, so don't be stingy.
After a considerable amount of time is spent on the coating, the next step is to light the fireplace. The sheet metal, which is not very large, is heated and struck with a hammer to spread it thinly. The stretched sheet of steel is used for the edge of the scabbard. Normally this would take quite a long time, but thanks to a cheat, I was able to get the desired length and shape in one go.
The extended plate is then attached to the perimeter of the scabbard and engraved with a taga-ne. The pattern here is also like the leaves of a plant. As the sun was setting, the sheath was finally completed. I was woken up rather early in the morning, and Marius and Camilo didn't stay that long, so I must have spent a lot of time on a single sheath. Even so, the fact that I was able to finish in one day a task that would normally have taken me a month or so to complete, is nothing short of a cheat.
When you put the sword in the scabbard, it looks quite elaborate. It will not be inferior to a fake. While I was smiling to myself, Camilo and Marius came over.
How are you doing? Are you sure you're not out of time?
Camilo asked in a cheerful tone. Camilo asked cheerfully, "You're not thinking that it's not ready. I'm glad and embarrassed by his trust.
It's just about done. How do you like it?
I show them the sword and scabbard I just made.
"Oh. ......
Marius lets out a squeal of admiration.
"This should make it easier for us to fight off the fakes.
"Good. That's good.
Marius says smilingly, and I reply rather bluntly. It's nice to know that people are happy with what I've made, but I'm still more embarrassed.
"No, I owe you a debt. I'm just returning the favor.
Marius holds out his right hand. I took his hand and shook it firmly.
"Get some rest for today. I'll pick you up in the morning.
Camilo tells me.
"Yeah, okay.
I'd like to sneak out in the middle of the night, but the gates are closed at midnight. It would be less suspicious to sneak out in the early hours of the morning when the place is crowded.
I decided to follow Camilo's advice and go to bed.
The next morning, I woke up before Camilo came to pick me up. I washed my face with water from the water bottle I had left there, and prepared to go home. But I didn't bring anything with me, so I didn't have much to prepare. I'll just take one of the knives I made as a test instead of the self-defense one I destroyed here. When I get home, I'll make a new "custom model" and use it for self-defense.
Some time after sunrise, Camilo and Marius arrived. And a couple of other women. What's going on?
"Good morning. Did you sleep well?
Camilo says with a grin. I'm confused.
"Oh, yeah. I woke up before you guys got here.
I replied. In the previous world, I used to sleep in a chair all the time. I was puzzled, but Marius called out to me.
I'm sorry to rush you, but I need you to change into these.
"I'm sorry to bother you so suddenly, but I need you to change into these.
What?
My confusion deepens. I'm just leaving now, why would I bother to change into something so luxurious?
While I was in a complete panic, Marius told the women who came with us.
"He's not used to this kind of clothing. Help him change.
"Help him change. The women nodded and surrounded me.
"No, no, wait. Why are you changing?
I almost scream. In the meantime, the women are trying to carry out their orders - that is, they are trying to take off my clothes. I hold my clothes back and wait for their answers, but they both keep grinning and don't answer back. If I hold them back too tightly, I might damage their clothes, so I relax for a moment, but the women take advantage of the moment and start taking off their clothes, leaving me in just my underwear. I had no choice but to ask them to put on new clothes. It's true that I don't know how to wear the more luxurious clothes.
There was nothing I could do about it, so I just let her put the clothes on me. I guess because I didn't put up any kind of resistance, the one being dressed got things done quickly. The clothes were similar in design to Marius's, and had an aristocratic look to them. I couldn't keep up with what was going on, but if I looked closely, I could see that Camilo's appearance had become much better.
"So? What are you going to do, make me wear this? You're not going to let me go home like this, are you?
When I asked them with a resentful expression, Marius said without even trying to hold back his laughter.
"I'm going to confront my brother now. And you're coming with me.
