“It’s fine for those who knows how to handle knives well, if not, it is too dangerous to use with such sharpness.”
“Ah-, that’s right…”
Samia looks disappointed.
“Well, if it’s someone who knows how to handle knives well, I can sell it though.”
“Yes, I did it!”
“Hn? What? Do you want it?”
“Y-yes. It would be easy if I had such sharpness when hunting and dismantling.”
“Then, I’ll give it to you.”
I already have one from earlier and I feel sorry for it waiting for an owner, and above all, I know Samia.
“Is it alright?”
“Yes, I don’t mind. I’ll make the sheath together with the ones I’m planning to sell normally, so give me some time, ok.”
“I don’t mind either. I’ll receive this much so there’s no use whining on it.”
“Well then, just wait for a while.”
“Ok!”
Somehow, it feels like I’m feeding her a little. No, I’m letting her live with me so it’s more like I’m really feeding her.
With this, it’s decided what I will be crafting for now. I will refrain from making absurd things and continue to make decent tools then about every after two days, I’ll also accept repairs as finishing touches. Um, let’s do this.
If so, it seems better for me to concentrate on “mass producing” for a while. I can do it with no big deal and compare to normal ones, they’re much sharper so there’s no reason for it to be unpopular.
About five days later, I made some hoes, sickles, and axes in addition to swords and knives. The newly made ones and those with extraordinary sharpness are for me to use.
Samia has been quiet for this last 5 days. Since if she doesn’t move for too long, her body will turn dull so I let her participate in trial cutting. Even at those times, she’s not using her full strength.Translated by Yume Neiji
When I asked her about it,
“It’s not that, I just want my injury to heal quickly so I can use Eizou’s knife…”
That’s what she told me.
Ah, I see. I’ll make a new one next time. Praising me even in a roundabout manner, it’s my kryptonite.
Then on the 6th day, about a week after I came here, I decided to remove the stitches on Samia’s wounds.
“I’ll pull it out now, but it will hurt.”
“Ok, I’m ready.”
I slowly remove the sewn thread. Samia looked in pain but she endured it without even a sound.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)
Said Samia while she trace the mark of the stitches on top of the new bandage.
“By the way Samia, I want to ask one thing.”
“Hn? What is it?”
“Is there a problem if a beastman goes to town?”
“There should be none. I just don’t go there because I don’t need to in particular and the guards won’t stop you unless you committed a crime.”
“I see”
“Why did you ask?”
“It’s just, I’m thinking of going to town once tomorrow. I’m new to this town, so as an escort and as a good warm up for your body, it would be helpful if you could come along with me.”
“Alright.”
“You accept that easily.”
“Well, Eizou has taken care of me. If I can help you even a little then just this much is nothing.”This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)
“Thank you, you’ll be a great help.”
“Ok. Well then, I’m going to my original place today.”
“Ah, right. Be careful.”
This feels like she has decided to live here.
I thought so, but if I say it out loud, she might get angry. It will be a hassle if I get too emotional so I kept silent.
Samia returned in the evening bringing some of her personal items.
“Is that all?”
“Ah, we sometimes move from place to place, so I don’t have that much things in the first place.”This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)
“I see.”
Are they similar to a race of hunters? Speaking of which, most of her stories during our dinner was about hunting. However, since she plans to live (most likely) here, it does not mean that they cannot settle down in one place.
Let’s listen to her story again when she tells me she’ll live here.
Then the next day, after fetching water in the morning, we prepare to head to town. Since it’s a day trip, we don’t need that much travel clothes to bring. I want to take the knives, sickles, axes and hoes today, but since axes and hoes are bulky, I’ll only bring one of each.
Since Samia will act as an escort, I made her carry only the knives. I put the knife which is not for sale on my waist right now, and I wear my own clothes.
My outfit is my usual clothes with an axe, a hoe and multiple sickles. I look suspicious but on the contrary, it can be said that I look like someone who brought things to sell.
After that, I rudely take some silver coins from the hidden shelf on the side table in the bedroom. Though, that’s probably mine too.
“Are you ready?”
“Yup”
With mix of anticipation and anxiety for going to a town in this world for the first time, we depart.
