Chapter 37: CH 36

As we left the town, I saw a guard at the wall, but there was no sight of Marius-shi today either. He wasn’t there when we came, so if he’s still not there the next time we come, I’ll ask about him. It’s been quite a while since he bought our knife and long sword. I think that if there is something wrong, he will bring it to Camilo’s store, but I would like to hear the situation if possible.Translated by Yume Neiji

We loaded the cart with salt, wine barrels, iron stones, and charcoal and go along the main road. Around the time when we are about to enter the forest, Samia stopped in her tracks.

“What happened?”

“It smells like blood.”

Samia prepares the bow. There’s sudden tension in the area.

“Bandits?”

“I don’t know. I don’t hear any sound, so I don’t think we’ll be attacked but, let’s be careful.”

Samia says so as her rounded ears twitch. I can’t afford to leave a Rike and the cart, so I decided that we should proceed slowly.

Eventually, we arrived at the actual spot. I can’t find a corpse or any residue, but it’s strange that blood were scattered all over the place and there is only the gruesomeness left. Multiple traces of blood lead to the forest.

“Is this the wolves’ work?”

“Maybe yes, but, bandits may have also done it to cover things up because wolves rarely leave the forest you see.”

Samia replied back when I asked. I see… As they made it look like the wolves doing, others will rarely take a chase.

“Samia, take caution. Me and Rike will also hurry a little.”

“All right”

“Understood”

In the end, nothing in particular happened until we got home. And because we were in a hurry, we arrived earlier than usual, but I was tired. I am grateful that we’re home though.

At the same time, though nothing happened, today’s encounter did not occur up until now which reminded me that I am not living in a safe place. Although the city guards are circling the main road and the security is good, it does not mean that they cannot be attacked by bandits or wolves. From now on, when we go to the town, it’s better to be cautious as much as possible…

With that in mind, I unload our luggage, and today’s “work” is over.

“So as I’ve said, from tomorrow we will start making the doors. I’ll make hinges, so I’ll leave the door’s panel to both of you.”

“Understood”

“All right”

At dinner, we lightly talk about tomorrow’s work. We’ll make the door first, then the bed. If we can finish all of those, the three of us can have our own bedroom.

As we have talked that far,

“Ah!”

I raised my voice as I realized something.

“What happened, Eizou?”

Samia was surprised. Rike was equally surprised too.

“N-No, it’s just that I initially thought of making a guest room but I forgot…”

I completely forgot about it. If we continue as it is, there will be no guest room.

Hmmm….

“Why don’t we modify the study?”

That’s what Rike suggested.

“Uhm boss… me and Samia have been using it till now and there is still plenty of space in that bedroom, and I think we can replace the chairs and tables over there with those from the study and bring one shelf in. That way, you can have a bed in the study.”

“Oh, I see……”

Certainly, I feel like that’s doable. I don’t have enough bedding for the bed, but no one will come that soon anyway. Helen came here the other day though. Well, in worst case, I just have to pull off the bedding in my room and bring it over.

“Let’s do that then. We’ll just have to make an extra bed.”

“It’s better to first build our own beds and after we mastered it, we can make one for our guests.”This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

“Hmm, right.”

With this, the objective from tomorrow onwards has been decided. We won’t earn money at all but sometimes, we can do something like this.

The next morning, I proceed to the workshop and heated a sheet metal (the newly made one) and stretched it out thinly. Cut it into appropriate sizes, separate each plate into two convex shapes, stretch the protruding part and form it into a tube with holes. Wait for it to cool, then combine it again by pushing a pin with a heated end, and hammer the end to keep it together, then the hinge is completed. Wait until it cools down again then I tried moving it (like flapping some wings). Since there is no particular problem, mass production can be performed. I made a modest number, putting into consideration if it broke or when we will add more rooms in the future. 　

When I get out of the workshop, Rike and Samia are struggling on making the door. But more than half of it is already done.

“I’m done making the hinge, so I’ll help too.”

“Oh, thanks boss. Please do so.”

The two of them are making one right now, so I’m going to make the other one. After combining the cut out timbers into a square to make an outer frame, I then put a horizontal plate according to it and attach a diagonal beam and a handle to the center. I will not put a lock on it (though I’ll attach a bolt), but for the time being, I just need a handle to be able to push and pull it.Translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

While I was doing that, Rike and Samia completed the door.

“Since there are hinges available in the workshop, I’ll have the two of you install it.”

“Okay, I understand.”

Samia answers with a smile. She doesn’t hate hunting but she likes to help in making things for the house these days, and since there’s enough meat, she wants to help with anything she could as much as possible. If she continuous like this, she can do it alone in the future and she will be useful for both blacksmiths and carpenters. If a big game is caught, we can preserve some meat so it is okay for her to help out. Like the time when Helen came, if I can’t make the general ones, I can ask her to help Rike.

It took until evening but since the door was finished, I went ahead to install it. When I arrived in front of the room, with opening and closing sound, Rike and Samia opened and closed their newly installed door.

“How is it?”

“Um, there is no problem on it. It can be opened and closed so easily.”

“Well, that’s my carefully made hinge you see.”

“No kidding, I thought so too.”

While having such a conversation, I start installing the door. I should make nails soon… In this way, the doors were attached to the two rooms, and the appearance of the house was finally in place.
