Kajiya de Hajimeru Isekai Slow Life

I took a look at the field during a break in making knives. Ridges have been made and the sprouts of the seedlings are neatly lined up, forming a pretty line. The spacing between the seedlings seems to have been kept wide. I wonder if this wild species has a wide root system. It seems that not all of the seedlings have been planted yet but the work is progressing well.

“Oh, are you done?”

“Well, it’s almost done.”

Diana said proudly. She was holding a hoe in her hand and with her appearance, no one would believe it even if they were told that she is the daughter of Count. Well, this could only mean that she has become so accustomed to the life here.

“The soil around here has a lot of magic power, so I think it will grow well.”

The one who said that is Liddy, she is also holding a hoe. As a former resident of another world, I find the idea of an elf with a hoe a bit strange. I mean, it just doesn’t look right. Well, maybe it’s just because Rike’s looks good with an axe that it makes me think like that. Before they started this work, I asked Liddy about it and she told me that it was normal to work in the fields in her village, so I guess this is usual for her.

“I’ve never done this kind of work, it’s quite a hard work.”

With a hoe on her hand, Samia also followed up. Well, I’ve heard that the beastmen on the Black Forest basically don’t do any farming.

“Beastmen are very strong so I’m sure you’ll get used to it.”

“It’ll be good practice for your swordmanship.”

Liddy and Diana told her that. They’ve gotten along well over the past few days, which is a good development. It’s a lot of trouble if there’s something that doesn’t suit someone.

“Alright then, I’m going back to the workshop.”

“Okay, do your best.”

“See you later.”

After receiving cheers from Samia and Diana and a nod from Liddy, I headed back to the workshop. As I was about to return, Kururu, who noticed that I was out of the house, approached me so I stroked his nape and watched around the garden for a while. I think Kururu’s also getting better at balancing the load as he pulls it. The day before yesterday, the mini cart was shaking a bit more, but today it seems to be shaking a little less. I guess he was not only playing, but also practicing.

“Good, you’re doing great.”

“Kururu”

I stroked Kururu, who was rubbing its head on me. This time, I really went back to the workshop. I felt a great tug at such parting though. After that, I was able to finish the blacksmithing work on this day without any trouble.

Work from the next day proceed in the same way as before. I made a sword for about two days and then a knife for the next two days. Rike basically makes the same thing as me, and under the guidance of Liddy, she practices on how to put in some magical power. Samia, Diana, and Liddy routinely goes hunting, collecting, and watching the fields. As for Kururu, he was also busy pulling things and collecting the prey and playing around the yard.

In between these activities, I checked on the apples in the water. So far, it’s looking good. They should be just fine by the time I come back from Camilo’s store the day after tomorrow.

The day before going to Camilo’s store for wholesale, I made the door and bed that will belong to Liddy’s room. This is the fourth time I’ve done each of these things so I’m used to this work even with the blanks. Besides, with my cheat, I can save time for the most part so I get it done easily.

“Now this is Liddy’s room from today onwards. It doesn’t have proper furniture yet, if you have something you want, just let me know and I’ll make it.”

“Thank you.”

Liddy bowed her head. With this, she moved from the guest room to her new room and became a member of the Eizou Workshop in the earnest.

“The rooms are now all occupied though.”

“I told you so.”

Samia said exasperatedly. She was the one who told me to make it because our number may increase again, and since it actually happened, I have no way to refute.

“I wonder if it’s better to make a new room.”

“If it’s a storeroom, shouldn’t it be made outside?”

I replied to Diana’s words.

“No, I think our family will grow again Boss.”

This time it was Rike who spoke.

“N-No. I don’t think that will be the case…”

I argued back but Samia, Diana, Rike and for some reason, Liddy too, clearly doesn’t believe me.

“For example, Helen is going to come.”

“Ah, that’s right.”

“That person also likes Boss after all.”

Diana, Samia, and Rike are talking about the possibility of Helen coming. Liddy is joining in between and I was ignored. That said, “three women gathering in one place is already a crowd”, what more of four women plus one… I made a little escape from reality.

“No, she won’t be coming here.”

Somehow I break into their conversation. As far as I can tell, Helen probably likes her life as she fights around. When I said that,

“But sometimes she comes back. Maybe she’ll come back to live in this house at that time.”

Diana argued back to me. Well, I’m at a disadvantage.

“Oops, I have to prepare dinner now. Today is the anniversary of the opening of Liddy’s room!”

The four cried, “You are running away!”, but they returned to the discussion about the possibility of Helen coming soon and whether to add more rooms.
