Kajiya de Hajimeru Isekai Slow Life

The usual work begins from today. On the first day, we will make the sheet metal that will be used and from the next day onwards, we will make knives, short swords, and longswords. From this point on, I have decided to let Samia help me in making sheet metal as well. The three of us will work on melting, hardening and stretching the sheet metal. I can’t afford to do something in the middle of hardening but I can share the work of melting and stretching, other than that, I think our efficiency has improved.

In the end, we were able to make about 1.2 times the amount of the ones we previously made. There are still iron ores too. In other words, even if we make this much, the quantity that I purchased will be much more than the amount we will use and with that, it won’t decrease at all. There may come a day when I have to tell Camilo that I don’t need to buy them anymore.Translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

We will make weapons from the next day. Speaking of which, I haven’t consulted Camilo, but, is it better to increase the weapon types? I have a custom modelled short spear and I know that it will be useful after it’s used in an actual combat, if there is no problem, I would like to add it to the lineup.

Anyway, we’ll first make short swords and a longswords. The procedure is of course the same as before. However, the efficiency is gradually increasing. Melting iron, pouring it into a mold, and taking the burr off, all of it were done by Samia, it’s convenient for me and I appreciate that I can focus on the high-end model ones. We continued this work for about 3 days and we were able to produce a good number. I think it’s okay if we don’t deliver again for the next two weeks.

The next two days will be for making knives. There’s nothing that Samia could help me with, and I said that it was about time to stock up on our meat so Samia went hunting. I have to replenish the arrowheads too…

Just like before, I made the high-end model ones and Rike did the general model ones. The procedure is the same as usual. We made it until the evening, and we made a reasonable number. I’ll make a general model tomorrow. While thinking about such things when cleaning up the workshop, Samia came back.

“I’m home.”

“Welcome home. How was it?”

“It’s ok. This time, I killed a big boar.”

“Oh, you did it.”

“That’s obvious.”

Samia proudly said so as she sticks out her chest. Her hunting skill is really good.

“Is the arrowhead still okay?”

I check with Samia about the matter that concerns me.

“Yeah, it pierces in one shot and it’s durable, even with that much, it hasn’t declined. I’d be happy if I have a spare though.”

“Yes. That would be good.”

“The boar’s head is quite hard but it was pierced with one shot. I think it may even penetrate an iron helmet…”

“I-Is that so?”

Um, I wonder if the firepower is too much. Well, an arrow is an arrow, it’s meaningless if you don’t have the skill to hit something with the bow. Will it be the same as bringing a gun in this world? Tomorrow, the three of us will pull it up, and so, this is all for today.

The next morning.

The three of us head to the lake. Since it’s sunk in a fairly deep place, I and Samia pull it up, but in the meantime I ask Rike to prepare a carrier by cutting the trees around the area. When we reached the place marked by Samia, I saw a boar with a greenish fur that was sunk in the water. The boar in the forest is greenish with hair like moss on its body (I’m not sure if they are lichens or not). If you crouch down, it looks like a thicket at first glance.

Even so, I heard that it was a “big one” but it is so huge. In the previous world, it seems that there are some who are 2m long, this is likely the case for this one. “Heave-ho”, after saying that, we pulled it up. When we got to the shore, Rike already prepared the logs. The three of us cooperate with each other to tie it up with a rope and make a carrier, we did our best and drag the boar to the carrier. Then all we have to do is pull it back home. I have a cheat, Samia is a beastman, and Rike has the strength of a dwarf, so it’s not too hard if the three of us work together.

That said, we spent an extra hour more when we go back. I immediately hanged it on a tree near the house. After that, I peel its skin off and dispose it. Since I don’t have an assistant, I have to break apart the carrier and turn it into lumber. Since it was done by one person, it took some time, but I was able to cut it into appropriate size and thickness. After that, I put it together around the place where the old timber is placed then I’m done. After that was completed, I look on how Samia and Rike were doing, they have finished dismantling as well.This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

Like the deer, I took out some part that we would eat for today and the rest will be salted. We have boar steak for lunch. When I tried it, it certainly tastes like pork. However, there is a feeling that this one has a wild taste, it has similar odor but it is not an unpleasant odor though.

“This boar is delicious as well.”

“Yeah. It tastes quite different from a pig.”

“Right? It seems that this wild boar eats good food, and I heard from a traveller that they taste better than those in other places.”

“Heh-. Is that so?”

“But they are difficult to hunt. It’s super violent at times and the bones in its head are so hard that arrows can’t get through sometimes.”

“Then, it’s all thanks to my arrowhead huh.”

“Is that really true?”

I didn’t mean to say that. I also feel embarrassed.

We will make knives from the afternoon. It seems that a reasonable amount can be secured, and since it is only the general model, I decided to let Samia perform the first process.

Perhaps because she helped a little, her muscles are relatively good. However, since she’s almost an amateur, it’s not good to compliment her before the work is done. Then from there, I will finish the general model ones.

“It’s a given for Boss but, Samia can do pretty much anything huh.”

Rike speaks to Samia in a friendly tone.

“Hmm, is that so? Compared to Eizou’s, the one from earlier wasn’t that better though.”

“It’s wrong to compare it with Boss!”

“Is that so?”

They say that and laughed at each other. It’s good like this. Somehow I felt like I was kind of laid back, I should be careful so I don’t inadvertently make a high-end model.
