Kajiya de Hajimeru Isekai Slow Life

I ended up making only one of them on this day. I’ll make the other one tomorrow. Rike also finished the knife, so I put down the fire on the firebed and ended today’s work. While cleaning up, Samia returned after collecting the things I asked.

“I’m home”

“Welcome home, how was it?”

“Hn~, so-so, I guess”

In the basket that Samia put down, there are antipyretic herbs and herbs for suppuration, apple-like fruits, and fruits like raspberries.

“Oh, what you gathered was sufficient enough though.”

“If the season is right, I can get a little more.”

“Well, herbs aside, the fruits will rot even if you get more than this, and this much is fine. Thank you.”Translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

I followed up as Samia looked a bit sullen. For Dinner we have the usual menu added with apples (similar fruit to it) so it turn a little sumptuous.

“Oh, I ate this for the first time, but it’s delicious.”

I said after eating the fruit. It tastes almost like an apple, but naturally it hasn’t been cultivated so it’s not so sweet. I didn’t eat that often in my previous world but the familiar taste is reassuring.

“Sometimes it’s also extremely sour.”

“Oh yes, there is. When I was a kid, I used to ask which one was sour.”

Samia and Rike spoke. Well, I guess it’s natural. I would like to try the one that is cooked. On this day, we talked about the fruits that Samia and Rike had eaten, and it was interesting. Some of them seem like oranges or watermelons, so I’ll ask Camilo’s help for it.

Next day.

Rike and I will still do blacksmithing today, and it looks like Samia went to catch some prey. As Samia has cycle of hunting→helping→harvesting→hunting→helping→town→rest, it may be possible to take a rest once a week. Originally, I also had a plan like that. I’ll keep it in mind as a future plan.

Now then, I will be working on the second production of that short sword. That said, the work itself is exactly the same as yesterday. I did a probing style yesterday, but since what I’ll make today is the same as yesterday, I know what to do so I finished it up nearly three hours earlier than yesterday.

Since it’s a special one, I decided to decorate the short sword together with the one yesterday. With the same tool that I used to prepare the sword’s body, I flatten the midpoint of the sword’s blade. If it misaligned even a little, the weight balance will be lost so I must work carefully. After flattening, I clean the surface and shake it lightly to make sure that nothing is wrong. I tried it and I didn’t feel any discomfort, especially when swinging.

I then engrave the design using the chisel on the flattened part. Again, the balance must not be lost, so I used my cheat power to keep the weight in balance. After putting it on both swords, I remove the burr. Doing until this point, I’ve spent all the time I earned a while ago. I used to make plastic models in the previous world and I like this kind of work…

Samia caught a bird on this day’s hunt. When the preparation is over, though I don’t have artistic skill, I made chicken (though it’s a bird) steak. In exchange, today, I made something like a raspberry sauce made from wine and raspberry like fruits that Samia collected yesterday.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

“Oh, Eizou this is great!”

Samia is so happy that she even jumps up and down. Sometimes she’s very childish. Even if she is 25 years old physically, she is only 5 years old so she hasn’t reached the age of 25 yet.

“Hey! You’re manners are not good, Samia.”

“But it’s because this is so good and I rarely have it.”

“Yeah, you’re right. Even in my workshop we rarely have this.”

Rike too seems to be a little surprised by today’s cooking. I’ve never heard of it, but Rike probably has a decent age in human terms. So far she has not been this concerned… except for things related to blacksmithing.

“Well, it’s the day I completed my first special order you see. It’s a celebration.”

“I see. Well, congratulations.”

“Thank you”

“Please let me congratulate you too.”

“Oh, I got a little help from Rike too. Thank you.”

For today’s dinner, we pour wine into our cups and made a toast and it became a rather exciting dinner. The next morning, after I fetched water and came back, I saw a figure in front of my house.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

“You’re quite early again.”

I called out. Then the other party smiled,

“I know I could see it today, but I couldn’t wait! I rushed here before dawn!”

A red-haired tall figure –Helen answered. Her eyes are shining. Even acting before dawn, this tension is quite… Well it’s fine to be full of spirit.

“You haven’t had your breakfast right? Eat with us. We are just about to have our breakfast you see.”This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

“Oh, is it fine?”

“I’m not that brash that I’ll be throwing out a customer just so I can have a leisurely breakfast you know.”

Me and Helen entered the house.

“Take your seat.”

“All right”

Helen sits down on the nearest chair. I placed the water vat into the kitchen and start preparing breakfast. After that, let’s just say that this day’s breakfast is unusually boisterous. After breakfast, Helen urged on an all of us head to the workplace.

“Well, this is the one you’ve been waiting for.”

I gave the two short swords wrapped in cloth to Helen.

“Can I see it?”

“Yes, of course”

Helen thought for a moment if she should tear the cloth off, then as if a fragile object was wrapped on it, she slowly unwrap it. As she unravels it, the blade appears, and Helen’s tension visibly rises accordingly.

Finally the whole image is revealed. The steel shines brightly, and lightning is engraved in the center of the sword’s blade. Everything else is very simple and practical, of course there’s the sculpture of a sitting fat cat on the sword’s handle. There are two of them.

“You said it was a lightning sword. So I engraved it in those two as decoration. Try it out a little to see how it feels. I’m sure it’s not out of balance.”

When I say that, Helen grabs both swords and swings them swiftly enough to make a humming noise. Mysteriously, I don’t feel that it’s dangerous, but if you put something inside that zone, it will be cut into pieces in no time.

The product testing (with dancing like movements) continued for a while, and then it stopped. Helen is panting.

“How is it?”

I asked Helen. Helen looked down. She toss the swords… I completely did not expect that, I thought she was just trying to gently place it on the floor of the workshop…

“Awesome! It’s so great! They are perfect!! It was good that I asked you to do it!”

She shouted and hugged me.

“Is that so? Well I’m glad to… A-A-Oooucch!!! I-It hurts!”

She kept hugging me with all her might, until Rike and Samia pulled her off me.
