Chapter 22: CH 21

The next day, after we finished eating breakfast, me and Rike went to the place where I had loaded the timber two weeks ago. Samia goes out for hunting with a bento on hand. I said, “I would like to have deer meat today…”, I’ll be expecting it.

“Well, from today, we will use this lumber to build a new room. However, it will definitely take a lot of time so half of the day we will build a room and the other half will be for blacksmithing.”

“Understood!”

“Well then, let’s start!”

“Yes, Boss!”

Rike replies cheerfully. Then we get to work.

According to Samia, there are few earthquakes here and it doesn’t rain so much. Actually, it’s been a while since I came here and it didn’t really rain. Is it climatically similar to Germany in my previous world? The name of this forest is also “Black Forest” –Schwarzwald in German.Translated by Yume Neiji

Anyway this place doesn’t seem that humid. We will create the additional room by directly burying pillars without placing foundation stones. As for my previous world, even in Japan where there is high humidity, the Ise Grand Shrine’s reconstruction time is only once every 20 years. Even if there is a difference (whether someone will live in it or none), the pillars themselves should be the same or even better. So I thought there would be no problem with this method.Translated by Yume Neiji

We will dig the holes for the pillars with the hoe handle that was made in the previous work modified to be parallel to the blade, not at right angles. I forgot to ask Samia if it’s only the ground around here or the whole forest, but it’s quite hard soil.

With this hardness, I think it will be tough without a good hoe and strengthened muscular strength. I’m glad I had them, and I thank the one who gave them to me from the bottom of my heart.

Eventually we were able to dig deeply, in there, we will put the end of the log that will become the pillar. We then tied the log with a rope so we can pull it. As Rike and I pulled it together, the edge of the log caught on the edge of the hole, and the log stood up as it fell into the hole.

As the pillar stood up, we hold the log in place and steadily hit it several times to fortify the bottom. After that, I hold the log while Rike fill the hole back. We were able to build a pillar right away.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com

The same work was repeated all morning until the pillars for two rooms were built. But it’s still a little unsteady, so I have to strengthen it tomorrow or it will be no good.

In the afternoon, it’s Rike’s much awaited blacksmithing time. For now I guess I’ll make her create a long sword in parallel with me. “General model” is already out of stock. So I’ll make two molds before lunch. After lunch, my work usually involves melting the iron and casting it in the mold but this time, I’ll only manage the fire and bellows (when I’m alone, I’m using magic to create wind). I decided to make Rike do the casting. She travels to broaden her views but it looks like she’s still proficient in using her hands. Soon after, the melted iron was poured into two molds.

While waiting for them to cool down, we’ll make knives to replenish the stock. I’ll do it first and then let Rike do the same.

Because my blacksmithing skill is a “cheat”, I wasn’t taught so similarly, I don’t really know how to teach her. In addition, we’ll be making the “general model” this time so I’m not really putting much effort during the process. I feel bad that I could only come up with the “look and steal” method. For today, she’ll learn like this.

I take out a sheet metal and heat it on the firebed. I hit it with a hammer to shape it, but while shaping it, I did not spend too much effort. During the process, Rike is trying not to miss any moment.

“How is it? Did you learn how it works?”

“Yes. Boss is amazing after all! It looks like you can hear the voice of the iron. But you’re not even doing it that seriously.”

“You can tell?”

“Yes of course! There’s not much power exerted after all. Above all, it can’t be compared to the long sword you showed me before.”

Ah right! Rike did look at the “luxury model”.

“This is what I can show you for today. Tomorrow, I’ll show you another one superior to this.”This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com

“Is that ok!?”

“Yeah. Though I feel reluctant teaching it to my disciple, it can’t be helped. Today, our target is to create stocks for sale so we only did this much.”

“Thank you very much, Boss!”

Rike is delighted that she’s even about to jump at any moment.

“Then next is Rike’s turn.”

“Yes!”

Like what I did, Rike heats the sheet metal on the firebed then hits it with a hammer. Perhaps because she is a dwarf, her appearance looks powerful.

Eventually, the sheet metal became a knife. She grabbed it with a pincher and lift it as it is then she looks at me.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com

“How is this?”

When I was asked, I looked at it and there is not much difference compared to the “general model” I made. However, while heating and hammering, there was something like wee bit dispersion that occurs. How do I say it, it’s like the only difference is the iron formation. This may be the difference between the cheat holder me and Rike. So far, I’m convinced that Rike can definitely make my “luxury model”.

“Good job! However, you can still aim for a better one. I’m not really good at teaching. I can only tell you to observe and steal the techniques but you can definitely make the long sword that I showed you yesterday.”

When I praised her, Rike says,

“Yes! I will devote myself!”

With a smile on her face, she responded spiritedly.
