Chapter 15: CH 14

“I got a long sword, yea-ah!”

“Even if you kill him, seize the sword!”

“W-What are you doing?! You bastards!”

Without further ado, I finally made the first long sword.

When Samia saw me doing this farce alone,

“What are you doing Eizou……?”

Cough! Other than being astonished, she received no harm.

The long sword was created by a method similar to the arrowhead production. I made a wooden mold (male type), cover the wooden mold with clay and dry it. Then I divide it in half to make another mold (female type). The wooden pattern can be used several times, but eventually it will break down, so if that happens I have to remake it.

I buried the female mold in a barrel containing sand then I poured down the molten iron in the furnace into the mold. Took it out when it cools down and remove the “burr” part, heat it and reshape the small details a little. Finally, quench and lightly grind it to complete the body. After that, the leather is wrapped around the handle and I proceed to make the sheath.

Basically, I made “general model”, several of them and only one is a “luxury model”. I decided to engrave a “figure of a sitting fat cat” on the handle of this luxury model. I saw this on SNS in the previous world, I used the cute cat I liked as the motif.

Originally a professional craftsman is in charge of the sheath and such sculpture, but I have cheat for products that can be made in a blacksmith shop. It’s hard to say it’s perfect as I’m not yet used with the “installed” experience but the result can be seen having good quality.

Of course, I didn’t forget to make arrowheads in between. In the end, it took about 5 days to make new stock of knives and make long sword.

Hmm, it’s about time.

“Eizou”

Right after I finished sculpturing the long sword, Samia spoke to me.

“What is it?”

“It’s about time that I go back to hunting.”

“I see. Well then, I’ll attach arrowheads so I’d like you to bring the shaft to the workplace.”

“Alright.”This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

I went to the workshop first and prepared the arrowheads and the hammer I made in between these days. Samia then followed suit bringing several thin shafts.

After sticking the shaft into the hole that was left open, I carefully hit it with the hammer and crimp it. If it becomes misshapen after installing it, of course, the accuracy will be greatly affected so I worked with all the power I could have.

Though I’m talking about myself, as expected of a cheat holder, it is almost perfectly attached. There may be some discrepancies, but the precision is not something that can be done by craftsmen so far…

I think, maybe.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

As I was working on the 10 of them, Samia opened her mouth.

“Hey…”

“Yup?”

I reply while working.

“Didn’t you say that you want me to live here before?”

“Un, I did say that.”

“That… is that still applicable?”

“Of course, I don’t remember saying it was already void.”

“I… When Eizou saved me before, I’m really glad. Since I came here, I haven’t done much yet but helping you is fun, Eizou’s stories during mealtime were also interesting. I like to watch as Eizou create things, so…”

Samia’s words stop until there. As a human, it’s hard for me to identify the age of a beastman, but she should be much younger than me because of her voice and gestures. The fact that a child of age is willing to live with an old man like me, even if I’m certain that I don’t have the same intent for example, means she has guts. As I do my work, I wait for Samia to continue.Translated by Yume Neiji

“So… is it ok to live here with you…?”

“Well, I’m the one who told you to. So as long as you’re okay with it, why not.”

Upon hearing it, Samia exclaims while hitting my back.

“Yehey! Thank you Eizou!”

“Un, don’t mention it.”

“It’s just right! I’m really happy!”

The smiling face of Samia who says that was the brightest one that I saw in the short time we lived together.Translated by Yume Neiji

“By the way Samia…”

“Hn? What?”

“How old are you?”

“How old you ask, by my looks… Ah, right! It was hard for humans to know.”

“I know you’re young though.”

“I’m 5 years old”

“…Ha!? 5 years old!?”

I was so surprised that I can’t help but raise my voice. I knew that she is young, but the age of five is a bit too much to imagine. Beastman’s child are that formidable? When I was five, I was probably a lot more childish.

“You’re that surprised huh. It seems that beastmen and humans have different ages.”

Oh, right! Even in the previous world (and maybe this one), dogs, cats, and humans have very different ages. I think it’s similar to that.

“Then how old are you in human age?”

“Well, I guess I’m 25 years old. But from this point on, my appearance doesn’t change much. If humans live till 80 years old, I’ve heard that we could live about 50 years.”

“I see…”

Is there a difference in life span? Still, it is considerably longer than ordinary dogs and cats. It’s double.

“What about Eizou?”

“Hmm?”

“How old are you Eizou?”

“Oh, me?. I’m 30 years old.”

I’m 40 years old “inside”. I was probably about 30 years old when I saw it on the lake before, so 30 years old should be fine.

“30 years old huh”

“Is there something?”

“Hmm, None. I’m 5 years old, but considering the age of the people I met, I’m wondering if you’re older.”

She has sharp thinking, probably because she’s a beastman.

“Don’t worry, humans aren’t as good as beastmen, when we’re 30 years old, we’re already stuck in one leg.”

I decided to dodge the question by saying that.

“Well, I finished it while we were talking.”

“Oh… Oh-! This is excellent! Nice one Eizou!”

Samia is so excited seeing the attached arrowhead. It seems a bit strange that a young maiden frolics with an arrowhead, but well, I’m honestly glad that she is happy with my work.Translated by Yume Neiji

“Thank you.” She said.
