There was a commotion so on this day and the next day, I’ll take a break from blacksmithing work. The next day, I went to get the bear on the lake. I pulled up the heavy bear, removed its intestines and I only buried the heart in the soil, the rest were discarded in the bush. The bear’s gallbladder seems to be made into a medicine, but I didn’t know which was it so I gave up and throw it away.
After that, I made a log carrier as usual to transport it to the house. I couldn’t make Rike help me when carrying a bear’s arm, but if I have a carrier, we could carry it together so I asked for her help.Translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)
It took us a little longer than the time we brought the deer to the house. After that, the dismantling process itself is almost the same as a deer. Of course, there are differences in skin hardness, skeleton, and internal organs, but the contents that I have to work on are almost the same. It would have been a difficult to work but it wouldn’t be a problem as I have three sharp custom model knives.
I’ve heard that bear paws are delicacies but processing it seems to be troublesome, so I give up eating that meat this time. I don’t know if there will be a next time but I don’t intend to fight to death again, so basically it’s a food that I won’t be able to eat.
I got a lot more meat than usual so we had a lot for lunch. The bear’s flesh had a bad taste, probably because it was badly processed, but over all, it taste better than I expected. The rest will be dried or salted so that it can be preserved easily. There is enough meat so I can prevent Samia from catching deer for a while. It’s a waste if it rots.
After I’m done eating lunch, I took a rest while Rike did some blacksmithing and Samia does the rest of the wall expansion on the room extension. The day ended with that.
The next day,This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)
After finishing today’s work, we will prepare for tomorrow as it’s the day we will go to town and do the wholesale. Since I took a rest yesterday, I decided to ask Rike and Samia to fetch water and add a room while I concentrate on blacksmithing first thing in the morning. My goal for today is to finish three high-end models for each knife, short sword, and longsword.
I make molds for the short swords and longswords, then pour the melted iron on it, remove the burrs, then I hit it with the hammer to shape it while having a little more concentration compared to when I’m doing the general model. While waiting for the molds to dry and the iron to cool down, I also work on the knives.
Finally, they were collectively quenched, tempered and polished then they’re completed. So far all of these took almost a day. Perhaps this was my efficiency because I have a cheat, but normally, one couldn’t do that much.
“You are so focused on your work that I was hesitating if I should call you out for lunch…”
Those were Samia’s words. I finished all the work, so I put the fire out of the workplace and tidy the place, then Samia came.
“You’re already done for today?”
“Yeah, I managed to finish the number I was thinking of.”
“Is that so? Well then, come with me for a moment.”
“Okay”
Samia leads the way with high spirits. I followed right after her. We came back to the living room together, there’s something off about it. Rather than saying that something that shouldn’t be there exist, something that should be there, doesn’t exist.
“Ah-”
There is an opening in the corner of the living room in front of the bedroom. That’s why I felt something’s off.
“You finished the room?”
“Yeah, there are two rooms. The hallway is also connected.”
“Today, I was doing it all the time except when I was preparing the food.”
When I peeked into the hallway behind Samya, Rike was also there.
“Oh, Rike, thank you.”
“No, it’s all Samia’s hard work.”
Although it is almost near its completion, I didn’t think it could be done today. There is a hallway, and there is an entrance to the room. The roof also has proper inclination.
However, since the doors did not make it in time with it and there are no beddings or furniture, it is really in a state where “the room has just been created”. Still on the contrary, if we can prepare them, it’s good as completed.
If we make it efficiently, it will take about 2 to 3 weeks.
“Then I now have to make doors, bedding and furniture first and put them in.”
“Eh, you will still attach a door to the room?”
“Hn?”This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)
Rique just asked me as if she heard something amazing.
“Well yeah. I’ll attach one on it. It’s a girl’s room you see.”
“No. Normally, you won’t put one unless it’s the guest’s room or the room of the patriarch and his wife.”
Ah. I see. So that was the case here huh.
“Well, that may be the case from the start there’s already a study and bedroom in this blacksmith house. This is my preferred one and I’m going to add doors to my disciple’s room and my family’s room.”
“You’re a good boss that’s why. I don’t mind it. How about you Samia?”
“I don’t mind it either, I’ve never lived at a house in the first place.”
“Oh, that’s right…”
“Then, that’s it. I have to make a hinge even a simple one.”
Although it seems easy to make with my cheat, unlike weapons and farm tools, it is definitely a detailed work. This seems like a good way to test how far my cheat goes though. In that sense, I definitely want to add a door to it.
After having bear meat for dinner, it was now time to go to bed. Starting today, I’m going to sleep in the study and the two girls are in the bedroom as I can’t use the newly created room yet. The two girls seemed to want to say that I should stay at the bedroom today but the pain has already subsided and I need to get back to my everyday life, so I asked the two to go with my selfishness.
Well, tomorrow is the day that we’ll go out again. Unlike in the past, we will only sell to Camilo, but if the sale is successful and Camilo has succeeded in purchasing them, we will also get some iron ores and charcoal. I fell asleep like as excited as an elementary school student before his excursion.
