Chapter 71: CH 70

The next day, Samia and Diana pulled up the killed “huge” (as Samia described) wild boar from the lake. Well, it’s certainly quite big as Samia had said. Even in the previous world, it is said that wild boar weighs about 70kg. However, for this one, it seems to be that much even if the intestines are pulled out.

If I peel off its skin and turn it into meat, I think it will be significantly reduced. It will still be a good amount for the next two weeks though. We made a carrier and pulled it as usual. The load is big but it’s easy to pull since there are four people.

I handled it once we are back. As expected, I was able to secure a considerable amount of meat.

“With this, we’ll be fine for a while.”

“Shall I catch one again by next week?”

“Yeah, that should be fine.”

Or rather, I think that there will be an addition to our stocks.

“Next week again then. Hmm, what should be good?”

Samia is in a good mood because she caught a big game.

“The big games in this forest are bears… Anyway, what else is there other than wild boars and deer?”

“That’s it for the big ones. If it’s a little smaller, there are raccoon dogs sometimes.”

“Racoon dog?”

“It is about this size. It also has a cute face.”

Samia represents its size by hand. Is it about 70 cm? It’s definitely big for a raccoon dog.

“Is it delicious?”

“Well, it tastes okay… It’s not bad, but there are more deer and wild boars around and they’re delicious too so I didn’t bother catching it.”

“I see. It’s their turn if you can’t catch any other prey huh.”

“Right”

While having such conversation, the meat is being salted and dried. Of course, the amount we’ll eat today is different. For our lunch this day, I served sautéed wild boar meat in a strong drink (brandy), I also served salt and pepper steak. Not to mention Samia and Rike, it was also well received by Diana.

In the afternoon, Rike and I will do blacksmithing work while Samia and Diana will do cloth repairs. It’s not that it is big and loose, but it seems that there are some parts that are slightly damaged. Of course, it also includes underwear. I can’t do that for sure. So I’ll leave it to them and we will concentrate on the blacksmithing work.

As usual, I’m working on the high-end model and Rike is on the general model ones. As for our speed, I’m quicker, but until today, Rike has made quiet an amount so if she creates one again tomorrow, we’ll be able to secure a sufficient amount for delivery. The sound of flames and the sound of hammers echoed in the smithy. And as the hammer bounced over it, as if it’s dancing with the bright red iron as the stage, the products took shape one after another.

The next day, Samia and Diana, who had their lunch boxes, went out to harvest food. It seems that they’ll look for fruits and vegetables this time. Rike and I will still do some blacksmithing today.

“Don’t you want to go out once in a while?”

“Why?”

“Ah no, it’s just that Rike, you’re always doing some blacksmithing work, right? Samia and Diana go out too you see.”

“I’ll be lying if I say that I don’t want to go out, but dwarves normally do this and it is fun enough too.”

“Oh I see. If that’s the case, it’s fine then.”

“Thank you for your concern, Boss.”

“No… Y-Yeah.”

Then the two of us start blacksmithing. Even before evening comes, we were able to make a decent number. At this rate, it may be more than usual. Shall we take a day off tomorrow? When I’m thinking about that, there’s some knocking sound on the door for the sales space. It’s also being hit pretty hard. Leaving the surprised Rike on the spot, I heard a familiar voice as I headed toward the door.

“Eizou, are you there?!”

As usual, it’s that absurd loud voice.

“Wait a minute, I’ll open it now!”

I yelled back as loudly as I can and opened the door. There, a tall, red-haired woman with a big smile on her face (which also has a big sword scar that is also charismatic enough) was standing in front of me.

“Yoh-, it’s been a long time!”

“Hey. Thanks for coming. Come in and sit down.”

“Oh, thanks”

The woman –Helen, who is a mercenary and is the so-called “Lightning Sword” because of her quickness, roughly goes in and sits down with plop. The actual sound is not really that much, but I feel that her movement is noisy, probably because her stride is big. I told Rike to have some wine diluted with some water prepared instead of tea.

“Well then, why did you come today? Was there a problem?”

“No, there are no noticeable damage. However, I’m going to a battlefield a little far away this time so I’d like to ask for some maintenance and checking before that.”

“Ah, I see.”

When I received the two short swords from Helen, I check for blade chips and deformation.

“Did you use this a lot?”

“Hmm, it’s been a week of training since then, and after that, I’ve been wandering around because I’m asked to get rid of bandits near here. And in the meantime, I practiced against a log, that’s mostly it.”

“I see.”

There are almost no blade chips and it can be said that there are no distortion, to put it the other way around, there are some. What kind of strength and how much did she use them for her to damage my custom model so much? As expected, there are things that you won’t know until you put it into action.

“Oh, that’s right.”

Helen suddenly stands up as if she remembered something.

“Hn? What is it?”

I readied myself for it.

“The swords are just according to my image. They are insanely strong. It cuts well. It saved my life several times.”

Hohoh-. Then with the sword I received in this state, I think she used it in recklessly. Is it alright for it to endure this much? The material in itself is just steel after all.

“It’s not enough even if I thank you many times but still, let me say it. Thank you.”

After she said that, Helen stretched out her right hand.

“…This is my job. I’m just doing the job I decided to do.”

I hold her outstretched hand. I felt pain as my hand was tightly gripped, but right now, my happiness dominated that.

“Boss is not really honest with yourself.” I can only ignore Rike’s words while sighing and laughing.
