Kajiya de Hajimeru Isekai Slow Life

When I got home, I had lunch with Samia, Rike, and Diana then we start making short swords and longswords in the afternoon. The number will decrease as I wasn’t able to work in the morning but this pace of work should be enough for delivery. Even if we include pepper, if we made about 1/2 of what is expected for a week, four people can still eat well at the current wholesale price.

“The setup will be like this for a while but this one seems to be fine.”

“I think so too. Though there will be more general models, there are no particular problem I guess.”

“Right.”

Since Rike does the main work, I will work on the high-end model ones from the first day. This is similar to when we’re making knives. This won’t change until there is a movement in the Capital and no contact is needed.

When the “work” is over, it’s time to train with Diana. I think she’s getting better little by little. However, it seems that it will take a long time for her to beat me. Well, let’s do it slowly. I think it is better if I can teach her what she’s good at though.

The day ended after the lessons are over and we had our supper. I will work again tomorrow after waiting for the contact.

As expected, nothing happened for about three days. For three days, the usual routine of exchanging letters with no big content, going back to do blacksmithing, training, eating food and going to bed took place. With that, short swords, longswords and a certain number of knives were made. The change happened on the 4th day.

As usual, from the top of the tree, I check where the letter is being hidden in the bush then I collected the hidden letter. When I verified the letter’s content inside the forest,

“I’m prepared to go to the Capital by myself tomorrow. I’ll pick you up here. Bring anything you absolutely need for blacksmithing. I’ll explain it on the way to the Capital.”

That was it. It’s pretty abrupt. It seems urgent but Camilo didn’t come directly because he needs to pick me up tomorrow. I won’t mind even if we’re heading to the Capital today. The only thing I need for blacksmithing is a furnace, but I can’t bring it with me of course and he probably wouldn’t expect me to bring it separately too. There is nothing else in particular. If anything, I’m getting used to the hammer in my workshop, but with my cheat, the quality of the tool will not matter. Writing this and calling me could only imply that I will do some blacksmith job in the Capital. Well, if that will help Marius-shi, I’m willing to do so.

I write a word of acknowledgement, hide the letter again, tie the ribbon to the bush then head home.

When I got home, during our lunch I explained that I am going to the Capital.

“So with that, I’ll ask the three of you to stay at home. I don’t know how long it will take, but if it’s longer than two weeks, I’ll ask to go home once.”

“What about the blacksmithing works?”

“Continue that. It should be fine for a while because we have a good stock. We still have a lot of meat, right?”

“Yeah. I’ll catch some in case of emergency.”

“I’m sorry, I’ll leave it to you. You can take a break from going to town. Camilo won’t be there anyway and I haven’t been there for past two weeks so it won’t be suspicious.”

“Understood”

“Diana-san too, don’t go far away from here either.”

“I understand. I’m sorry, for my house…”

“I said you should not worry about that, right?”

“Un……”

Diana was downcast.

“I also owe Diana-san’s brother. I’m just repaying it.”

I said that cheerfully as much as possible. It seems that Diana managed to come to terms with it. Her expression is now cheerful compared to before.

“Well, even though that’s the case, I’ll still work today.”

After lunch, I went into the workshop. Well it’s because I’m the only one who can make a high-end model for now. I then concentrate on making high-end models knives. I focused on speed a little more than usual. Thanks to the cheat, high-end model knives are completed one after another without sacrificing the quality.

Even though I didn’t make it from the morning, I was able to make about 1.2 times as much in a day. With all this, it would be okay to immediately wholesale the items after my return.

The supper on that day was a little sumptuous and we did something like a send-off party before the expedition. I’m not the one who’ll cook rice from tomorrow anyway.

The next morning.

While watching the road from the top of the tree, I chew on the unfermented bread sandwiched with thin slices of salted meat between them for breakfast. I didn’t bring anything other than my usual self-defense knife. It’s a hassle if something happens and I end up leaving the hammer in the Capital.

While I was looking at the road and leisurely eating my breakfast, a wagon came from afar.

Is that Camilo?

Eventually, the wagon that looked like a dot before became clear as it approaches, it’s a fairly large wagon (although it look like a big cart pulled by a horse). I swallowed my breakfast and stared at the coachman’s face. He’s definitely Camilo. When I confirmed that there were no people around me, it was time to get out of the tree and keep watching the wagon from the forest.

Finally, the wagon stopped and Camilo got off and went around to the loading platform. I quickly approached it while looking around.

“Yo-”

I called out to Camilo. Camilo was not even surprised then he replied,

“It’s you huh. I’m sorry that I’m asking you without delay but, please get on the luggage carrier.”

“Understood”

I jump on the luggage carrier and move closer to the coachman’s platform. When Camilo saw that, he moved to the coachman’s seat and started running the wagon again. It’s faster than I expected.

“I’ll go directly to the point and talk about it briefly. I want you to hit a sword in the Capital. If possible, within today or tomorrow.”

As he was running the wagon, Camilo spoke in a slightly loud voice. I also replied in the same volume.

“I don’t mind, how many?”

“One is enough. But I’ll ask for the best one possible.”

Is it a custom model?

“Alright, but can you tell me why?”

“Oh. In Marius-san’s house… To sum it up, the Eimurl family has a heirloom sword and it was stolen. Base from the situation when it was stolen, and given that only those people inside would know about it, Marius-san judged that Karel did it.”

“That… then why do I need to forge a sword?”

“Don’t rush. It seems that Karel wants to say that Marius-san is not qualified as a successor for having their heirloom sword stolen. Karel is collecting information to prepare to recover it but it’s probably in his hands so there’s really no need to recover it.”

“It’s like he’s saying, what kind of management were you doing that a precious heirloom was stolen from the house? You don’t have the qualities of a successor, I will take it back and show that I am suitable as a successor huh. It’s absurd and suspicious… No one delves into this matter?”

“Karel and his confidants weren’t near the city when the heirloom sword was stolen. They are rather suspicious but as long as there’s no connection with the stolen item, suspicion will only be a suspicion. If he brings it back, it will certainly end up as his achievement. However, it will be too suspicious if he got it back soon after he started looking for it so I guess his stand is that he hasn’t found it yet.”

Stirring up trouble to get credit for the solution huh, this self-made performance makes his speech so embarrassing.

“That’s where you come in. It seems that Marius-san plans to say that the stolen heirloom sword is a fake.”

“Eh? Then…”

An outrageous imagination runs through my head. No, that can’t be...

But Camilo’s next words were exactly what I had imagined.

“Yes, it’s for the Eimurl family, you’ll forge their heirloom sword from today or tomorrow.”
