Chapter 18: CH 17

We brought the tree deer close to the house, I then hung it upside down on a tree nearby and peel it off. Perhaps because the knife is extremely sharp, I finished peeling it in no time.

Before I cut off the head, Samia pointed out some part in the horn and said,

“Here, these are broken marks.”

“Oh, it’s true.”

When I was told to look, I saw traces of broken branches here and there.

“Because of its big size, when it runs away from a forest wolf, some of the corners of the horn will collide somewhere.”

“Heh, looking at it like this, it’s easy to tell.”

“Right?”This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com

Samia said so proudly. I think it’s purely amazing to have this knowledge.

“I already removed the internal organs, what should I do with it?”

“Just put it there, the wolves will come and eat it. If not, just leave it to the forest.”

“I see…”

Leave it to the forest she says… There would be various problems if this was done in my previous world, but it is not a problem here huh.

I then cut the meat into pieces, I found out that the meat looks exactly like what I’ve seen in the previous world.

“What about the remaining bones?”

“Go a little further from here and just throw it away. That will also be eaten by the wolves.”

“If we do something like this often, it’s likely that they will follow us here.”

“Apparently, they did sometimes you know.”

“As I thought! They are here?”

“Yeah. Even if they don’t follow us, they find it hard to attack beastman and those who smell like humans. They know that even if they don’t hunt themselves, they can receive a fair share of the prey.”

“Looks like they’re smart huh.”

“Yeah. Otherwise, they can’t survive in this forest.”

“Well that’s right.”

If they carelessly attack a hunter, then they will be the one hunted next time. There are rouge ones too so I don’t think that there will be no casualties, but not many will think so.

For today’s lunch and dinner, I decided to have grilled deer meat. The rest will be hanged in the workplace to make some dried meat. I work on the fire bed almost every day over there so the temperature is quite high and humidity is basically low. But one of these days, I want to make a smoked food shed or a warehouse.

With that in mind, when I had finished hanging the meat, I cut down some trees again to make them into woods. With this, I’m done with today’s work.

The next day, Samia take a break on hunting. It is said to be a custom here. Well, even if she acquires so much meat, we can’t consume it all, and we won’t be able to reduce the stock by catching too much. I think the custom is decided because of that.

So today, I decided to make her help a little with my work.

Since I’m making long swords today, I ask her help in applying clay to the wooden mold first.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com

“This is pretty interesting.”

“Right?”

To some extent it’s close to playing clay. We divide and bury it in the sand. When dividing, she is delighted to see that it was beautifully shaped. The next thing to do is deburring. I hit the hardened part that sticks out of the mold with the hammer to clean it off. I showed one model and have her do the rest.

“Oh-, this is also interesting!”

“Really? Then I’ll leave the rest to you.”

“Ok!”

I finish the blade in the meantime. I was able to finish two on this day. With Samia’s help, we worked like this for two days. I completed four of the reduced long sword in stock.

“Then, I’m going to hunt today.”

“Alright, take care. We’ll go to town again tomorrow so don’t overdo it.”

“I understand. I’m off.”

I wave my hand as I see Samia off. She nimbly gets over the underbrush and disappeared into the forest.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com

Now then, I suppose I’ll be working on the next production. There are many variations that can be created. Now that I have knives and long swords, let’s make a spear.

From the branches of the tree that I had saved when making the lumber, I select the one with a length of about 140 cm and cut it into bars. After I have created a rod, the next step is to make spikes and ridges.

For the head, I hit the plate material to make a square pole, I extended the base part to form it into a cylinder and I made sure that the pole can be put in. I strike the tip of the head to make it sharp, and when it is shaped like a combination of a square pyramid and a cylinder, it is completed.

There are some with more blades but it is my first time creating one, this will be used particularly for thrusting.

The butt end is made of iron with the same weight as the head made into a cylindrical shape, after processing the part where the rod is to be inserted, I slightly sharpened the opposite side and it’s done. After quenching the tips, together with the butt end, I insert them into the rod.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com

The short spear was completed.

This is my first creation, so I made it a “highest grade model”. Therefore, it cannot be sold. In case I got additional escort other than Samia, it may be possible to give it to that person…

This day, I finished one short spear. This is thanks to my magical tools and my cheat, otherwise it will probably take more time. With that in mind, I turned off the fire in the workplace, confirmed the dryness of the meat, and ended my work for today.

As I am thinking if I should start preparing dinner, Samia returned.

“Welcome home.”

“I-I’m home.”

Samia still felt bashful. I also felt awkward so I want her to get used to it sooner.

“What have you got today?”

“Today, I caught leaf birds!”

Samia is holding two birds. It is about the size of a crow in my previous world and its wings resemble the leaves of the trees around it. Birds too camouflage themselves in this forest huh.

This should be hard to find, furthermore, it must be hard to shoot it down. I think Samia is probably better but still, she only caught two, this is also a proof of that.

“Well then, shall we have this today?”

“Okay, I’m looking forward to it.”

First of all, I need to pluck the feathers. The flight feathers have a beautiful jade color, so I set it aside and decided to use it for decoration (if there’s a time where it could be used). After that, I earnestly pluck the other parts. The plucked feathers could be made into a futon or a pillow, but when I asked Samia, she said, “There aren’t many people who do it with leaf birds”.

I don’t think I can get that much. Besides, when the amount of bird feathers is small, it’s not suitable to be used, that’s what I’ve heard in my previous world.

I cut off the wings then roast the fluff with the magic stove and bake it. I open the belly and take out the internal organs. Maybe I can eat the gizzards and liver, but I decided to throw it away this time. Samia also said, “I don’t eat those”.

After separating the breast part, I cut the wings and thighs at the joints then preparation for the meat is now complete. I decided to roast it with only salt.

Today we spent a little festive night with deer soup, yakitori and unfermented bread.

“We’ll go to town again tomorrow, but I think we no longer need to buy salted meat.”

“Okay, I’ll catch some again next time.”

“I’ll leave it to you.”

I said so while smiling.
