Kajiya de Hajimeru Isekai Slow Life

The longsword was plunged into the fire bed, but the fact that it needs to be heated means that it is that distorted. Normally, it takes a long time to fix such a problem, but this time, I’m going to resort to fully utilize my cheat.

I only heat the distorted part and raise the temperature to the level necessary to restore the distortion. Hmm, this is really very distorted… How did they used this anyway? I wonder if that guy couldn’t pull it out after piercing it in so he opted to pry it out with brute force. If that’s indeed the case, is it the work of a dwarf, a beastman, or a lizardman?

Now that the temperature has risen, I’m going to remove the distortion by hammering it. If the temperature is raised to the point where it can be fixed and softened like this, it will not be the same even if it is quenched again so this is where what I checked earlier comes into play.

While I’m hammering to fix it, I gradually weave in some magical power to adjust the hardness so that it will be the same as the other part when it is quenched again. This is done by utilizing my cheat of course. In this way, when the part of the sword with a lot of magical power was hardened, tempered and polished, the longsword, which was almost the same in appearance and performance, would be restored.

However, though I’m saying that the sharpness is the same, if you check that exact spot, you can see that some magical power is naturally contained only at that part. You can also tell that its strength has increased a little, and if you look at it closely, you can see that the magical power is added to repair it.

Well, if I put magical power into the whole item, it will be more than a high-end model. And for now, this repair will do. As for the other longswords and shield, which are less distorted, I will fix them by just directly hammering them without heating them. Though the shield will have some bent parts, it will still be usable.

The longsword has a big chip in the blade, so I decided to sharpen it as a first aid. If the chip is too big, I may need to repair it by splicing a piece of iron. Normally, I would not do this, but since it is a first aid measure in a war zone, it should be sufficient.

If any of the items brought in this time had large cracks or were totally broken, they would be discarded without being repaired. Well, I’ll be checking whether they can be repaired or not, so it’s safe to say that there were no weapons that went that way this time.

It would have been fine if I had assumed that the greatly distorted one I mentioned earlier was also unrepairable, but this time, I wanted to make sure that the method I used earlier would work so it was “subsequently” done.

If I am to say one excuse, I’ll say that I wanted to establish a method for quick repair so that even if I run out of spare longswords, I can repair the distorted ones and have them use it first……. Well, no, it’s really my aim.

After I finished my work, I headed to the command center with the documents I had been given. The sun is already working on it’s one last job of dyeing the surrounding orange, the soldiers are going back and forth while preparing bonfires for the night. I’d better hurry or I’m going to miss my dinner.

When I entered the tent on the command center, Marius, Leroy, and some other soldiers were discussing something. They were probably having a long strategy meeting for tomorrow’s full-scale battle. I then found Miss Frederica dealing with some papers at a simple desk in a corner. I then presented the documents I’m holding to her.

“I’m done for today’s work.”

“Oh, as expected, Eizou-san sure is fast.”

“Well, there weren’t many things to do today.”

While glancing and pointing at the list of documents, Miss Frederica says,

“All of this?”

“Yes. Nothing was irreparable.”

“Alright. I’ll send the soldiers to pick them up later. Thank you for your hard work today.”

“Okay, then I’ll go ahead.”

As I bowed to Miss Frederica and was leaving the tent, I glanced at Marius and our eyes met. And for a moment, his expression seemed to be unusual. Well, in such a place, a blacksmith can’t just simply say, “How are you doing?” to the count.

I then head back to the branch office and cleaned up the mess. Just as I was wondering what to do, a soldier came to pick up the weapons that I had fixed so I said, “Thank you for your hard work” and then I handed the items over to him.

This completes my work for the day then. I’ll head to Oyasan’s place, have dinner, and then I’ll go to bed.

It is already getting dark and the bonfires were lighting up the surrounding darkness so I hurriedly went to the kitchen area, where some of the soldiers were having a late dinner. I wonder if they had come to eat during their shift change. It also appears that the rest of the supply team (other than me and Miss Frederica) has already finished eating. Well, I do felt apologetic that I’m going to eat first.

Today’s menu was still stewed dried meat, but it was more like a stew with some root vegetables and something that looks like a potato.

Mmm, yeah, it’s a potato.

Potato is a crop that would be very helpful if we could grow them in our garden. When we go back after the expedition, I’ll have to check with Oyasan to find out where to buy it.

With that in mind, I ate the delicious stew that Oyasan and the others had made.
