The forest is not so dark, probably because the sun is still up high or maybe because the trees are widely spaced.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com).
“Still, it will be bad if I don’t come back early.”
I muttered as I mark the tree near me with the sword while proceeding to the inner part. I can’t see the house anymore, but I know the direction of the house because I have the knowledge and experience “installed” in my body.
The slightly off feeling in my head I’m getting around here need to be resolved little by little.
I’m completely new to a blacksmith’s job even in my “previous world”. I think I can do a rough job with the “installed” knowledge, but there’s a part I don’t remember. I must eliminate such off feelings in my daily work.
However, there is not much anxiety. While I am exploring the forest, I can see that the knowledge and experience gradually adapt to my body.
Having said that, it is not known at what timing the misalignment will come back and the direction of the house will disappear, so just in case, I will not stop marking trees.
Along the way, I also pick up some medicinal herbs that are used to stop fever and wound suppuration which my “experience” tells me. I took as much as it can fit in my pocket. Surely, it didn’t exist at home. Please understand that I am running wordads too so every view counts.
Those “medicinal herbs that can be surely acquired” will become handy in this world without a doubt. This may be a good place.
About an hour in my body clock, I heard the sound of water. It seems that I found a valuable water source in this world. When I headed for the sound, there was a lake. In my view, it’s going downstream, a little further, I can see the river where the lake flows out.
The shore on the other side cannot be seen from here, so is it a fairly large lake. Up to this point, I have been exploring medicinal herbs and other things along the way, so if I come without looking at anything else, I should have arrived in about 15 minutes.
This is probably the solution for water. I might have to make a few round trips each day, but given that I only spend most of my day at that house, it would be a good exercise. I want to make a daily routine from tomorrow.
I look into the lake. It’s hard to figure out because it’s only reflected in the water, but it appears that my age seems to be about 30 years old, which I hoped for.
Well, I’m a blacksmith with a certain level of skill (I think I did it, and that’s what the experience and knowledge “installed” tells me). Moreover, I recently “moved”, in that case, I can’t explain things if I’m at the age of 20 or so.
A blacksmith training from some place far and due to some circumstances run away and come to this place – it would be suspicious without this kind of cover story. Even with this, it’s still suspicious.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com).
My body clock tells me that it’s still early for the sun to set, I decided to explore the banks of the lake a little more. While walking along the lake, I occasionally stop, look into the water and made some discoveries.
First of all, there are shrubs with fruit like raspberries and trees with fruit like apples. According to the “installed” knowledge, these fruits are edible.
I don’t have those ingredients in stock yet but I haven’t brought some tools to bring back the ingredients I secured, so I decided to give up today.
When I look closely into the water, it seems that the water of the lake is springing up here, I can’t see it from here right now, but maybe there is a mountain somewhere around here. The water is clean and many fish live in the area. I didn’t bring any fish baits or fishing tools, so I can’t catch them today. I’m looking forward to it at a later date but I wonder if I have the time to spare for fishing while doing some blacksmithing.
I earn my living thru blacksmithing, it’s naturally decided that I should be busy and has no time to spare. Well, if that’s the case, I should decide a regular holiday and come on that day.
From a workaholic to a slow lifestyle.
I had a good time while thinking about it, my body clock tells me I should head back soon…. As I was about to do so, I find something lying behind the grass. Is it about 150 cm? It’s quite big for an ordinary animal. I approach the animal carefully.
I can’t really figure it out under the shade but the head looks like that of a dog or a cat, the overall silhouette is close to human. Seeing that the shoulder part move uncontrollably, I rushed a little closer. I’m sure it can hear my footsteps but the animal keep still and continuously breathe roughly.
When I shortened our distance (barely reaching it by hand), I understood the whole picture. That animal, no, it’s rude to say that it’s an animal. The person had a tiger-like head, that of a beast race.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com).
The person has slim but firmly attached muscles, though wearing leather armor, the person looks to be in pain as scratches are all over the body. Despite lying prone, I can still see that the leather armor on the flank was torn. And the area around it is reddish-black, although the blood is not flowing from there, it’s obvious that’s a severe wound even without my “installed” knowledge.
“If I don’t carry this person immediately, this will be dangerous…”
I hold the person up from the front. Although it is covered with the leather armor, the chest part sticks out more than what I expected.
I am startled, but I don’t have time for that so I put my thoughts aside and hang her whole body on my shoulders. It is the “Fireman’s Carry” in my previous world.
“I know princess carry might be more romantic for a girl, but it’s faster this way. I’m sorry, please be patient with me.”
Contrary to her appearance, I am surprised that I could carry her lightly, I then rush back to the house.
