Seiun wo Kakeru

Even if we worked out a plan for the development of the village, there is still something we should normally do.

Only Age didn't forget herself as a blacksmith.

You've been getting cold lately.

With winter approaching, it's time to hit the iron.

I was spending a lot of valuable time in the blacksmiths that I could use to produce.

Slip a small chunk of iron over a moist grinding wheel soaked in water.

Age narrows her eyes and checks the blade tip.

Is there not enough grinding yet?

Check the blade angle firmly again and apply it to the grinding wheel.

Shh, shh. The rubbing noise stands continuously.

Pietro, who was watching the work, looked at it with a strange face.

"Parents, what is that?

It's a nail clipper.

"Nail clipper? From the name of it, is it a tool to cut your nails?"

"It would be quicker to actually use it. You should try your hand."

"Yes."

Pietro's nails are cut along with the sound of pattin, pattin.

The look on Pietro's face is so open-eyed that it can be called stunning.

"... Parents thought about it?

"No, it's not me. It was in the world where I was."

"You're a genius."

I see, it's better.

Age had a habit of checking its structure if she had a professional pattern, a familiar iron product.

Claw cutting is a simple tool that uses the upper and lower blades and the principles of Teco, spring, etc.

I remember knowing the principles and being impressed.

As far as Age knows, there are no nail clippers in this village.

Speaking of how you're cutting your nails, you bite them with your teeth, and then you fix them with yasles.

Or use a knife or tweezer to cut ahead.

Either way, the incisions will be inconsistent, and with knives and scissors, you risk damaging your fingertips.

It was a long time ago that I felt the need when my nails stretched, but there was a lot to make behind me.

"I guess people who come up with tools like this are smart,"

"Parents who can make it this way just by looking at it are also awesome"

"I guess it's because I like it."

"Can I borrow this?

"I've had a lot of trouble, so you can take care of it."

"Let me show you my father or my mother."

Making small objects is tough because it takes a lot of work.

Especially since the part of the blade that I was making now is curved, there is no reason to beat it and forge it to shape.

Hard cutting tools should be used and cut out.

It's actually possible, but it has fine tools.

I don't think it hurts that I haven't been able to create so many blacksmith tools.

I also wanted to increase the variety of blacksmith tools soon.

Large things take effort in the name of strength, and fine things take effort in the name of nerves.

But I had a hard time.

The villagers of the village of Siena tend to appreciate the smaller but more practical than the larger ones that are excessively decorative and useless.

Claw cutting, in that sense, would be regarded as indispensable to the home, just like iron pots and needles.

This should also be counted as one of the main products traded.

There is another recent production that Age has received high praise for.

It was a scissor. It's also a haircut.

People's hair is stiff. And there are many copies.

Therefore, in bronze, the blade spills and dullness of cut flavor quickly, and when the cut damage occurs, it is pulled away and painful.

Already the first prototype is used by the hunter's wife, Jane, to get the best rating.

"Parents, can't you divide the next one into gold and blade gold?

"Yeah. Soft ground gold and hard blade gold, it's one hand to separate it, but it'll be down soon, won't it?

"Well, you cut someone's hair in the village every day."

"Because you cut every single one of people's hair. It hurts quickly. That's why I make it out of total steel so I can use it for decades if I grind it. Even so, I'll use a few iron types just because I can't separate them. Pietro's in a lot of trouble, too, but do your best to help."

"I'll take care of it"

The highest quality chives that cut hair are expensive.

As far as Age knows, some exceed 100,000 yen.

It is a luxury item that cannot be bought with a freshly qualified rush.

What Age was thinking of making this time was the best cleavage of its kind.

Modern is an environment with inferior facilities, but there was definite confidence that Age would be able to make it today.

The temperature control of the furnace, how to distinguish the steel made, etc. were becoming fairly grasp of what had never been known before.

You should be able to.

Finely crushed charcoal is piled inside the fire furnace.

When you move the box (fudge), the charcoal starts to heat up red and make noise with the goose.

In a somewhat dim blacksmith to see the fire, the lights of charcoal and flames illuminate his face.

Even though winter is near, it's hot inside, and sweat comes out.

Unlike Age, who was accustomed to heat on a daily basis for many years, Pietro was surprisingly sweaty.

Even wiping his forehead with his arms from time to time, a new sweat soon springs up, communicating his face.

I'm going to let you help me with the work today, and I'm not letting you grind it.

Instead, stand next to him and give him a tour of the furnace.

On a rare occasion, Pietro's eyes shine and his expression is serious in itself in an attempt to learn a little bit of skill.

"Is it time?

"No. Look more closely at the iron colors. I need to make the colour a little more white."

"Yes."

"That's about it. Remember that."

"Okay."

When the furnace temperature reaches 1000 degrees, add steel.

Allow the heat to transfer quickly over the charcoal.

The temperature of heat is also different between soft iron and hard iron.

Identify such iron temperatures in one color.

That's all due to the exploration that comes from the accumulation of experience.

Identify the optimum temperature and get it out of the furnace, shaping it with a hydraulic hammer.

Until this point, Pietro doesn't need to move.

Shaped to be used for forging, straw covered and then mud applied.

It's a forge for iron and iron to go well together.

Currently, I also use something like iron powder formulated in boric acid or borax, but the old-fashioned way of making it, I can do enough with straw ash.

All the famous knives of old are made this way, so history has proven that there are no problems.

The heated steel is overlaid and beaten from the top.

From here, ask Pietro for a hammer as a field training.

I figured it out so that Pietro's nervousness would be in his hands.

Beat the iron mass placed on the gold floor with a large hammer shaken to the shoulder and spread the vegetables. Tong Kang Tong Kang and the sound of the bell.

Heated iron is not that hard.

Moderate strength is more than beating with force.

"Take care to stretch even."

"Yes."

"When the unevenness is formed, the burn crack goes in. A little more here."

"Yes!"

It becomes more important to beat it evenly instead.

Iron beaten in a heated state will have an even particle distribution.

Later, when the hardness is increased, when this distribution remains unchanged, the expansion rate changes and iron is reduced.

The phenomenon of burn cracking occurs, at which point all the work is wasted.

This is the most persistent moment in a blacksmith's failure.

That's why I carefully put my workouts in the iron.

"How many pieces do you fit together this time?

"There are five types of iron with different amounts of carbon. Once you fold it back, how many layers will it be if you fold it back ten or five times?

"Er... 20 in two, so... 160 layers?

"Because I make you calculate every time, you're getting faster. Exactly. Doing so reduces the surface of the blade, but doesn't dull the cut because it has the next layer. It's hard to turn around manpower, but there's plenty of work to do."

Though it only raises to the shoulder, the hammer is heavy.

Pietro is still about junior high in his age.

Gradually, I am getting tired and my arms are not getting up.

I guess it's time for the limit.

My breath is rough and my sweat is gushing from next to next.

"All right, as you see the rest"

"No, I can still do that!

"You don't have to. It's more important than that to look at the work and remember."

"Okay."

Give Pietro, who is still trying, a drink of water to rest.

He was strong in his mouth, but I guess it was the limit.

Once I rested, I didn't say I would do it again.

I'm still young. You shouldn't be forced.

Pietro's motivation is pleasant.

The rest are forged with hydraulic hammers and folded back.

For stretching, fold and match one piece.

A layer of iron is formed, and the scalp looks like a wave.

"All right, I'm going into formation."

"Yes!"

"Firm red iron softens well enough. Swing the hammer quickly and accurately to keep it cool and change it to the shape you want."

The holes in the handles are first drilled in small pieces with a (contour), which is then drilled.

If you try to draw a circle and tap it gently, you can have a smooth curved surface in an instant.

I used to fail a lot with this.

High technology is often required for casual operation.

How many years would it have taken to create a curved surface in the shape you wanted?

Now that's easy to do.

Create a pinky finger and modify the shape to follow the shape of the hand.

Apply a hole that matches the blade with the blade, and bake the blunt "Yakima".

Check the water temperature.

Slightly null.

Add hot water from Yakan, which was heated using furnace heat.

It gets just the right heat.

I see Pietro checked the temperature of the water in the same way, and I guess he used to have his arm cut off, laughs.

No matter how good things are made, when they are halfway cooked and baked, things get worse.

Some blacksmiths say that this sintering and baking is the most important thing, rather than iron, than working out.

It is an arm charm for blacksmiths and at the same time it is a knowledge to keep secret.

Any crude iron can do a lot of things if the maker's skill is solid.

The virtue of iron is only one of the elements that make good things.

It's the most focused task.

Add the hot iron grabbed with the chopsticks and the steam instantly rises.

"You've done it!

"Yeah. You could have just used a hydraulic hammer, but it would have been a good experience, wouldn't it?

"Yes! Just a little, but I think I found out about the blacksmith"

"That was good. I'll take care of the grinding, so let me know when you're done with the rough grinding."

"I'll do my best!

In the case of forged products, there are many places to hang polishing in order to smooth the handles, etc.

After this, it is necessary to create a shallow indentation on the back of the blade called the hiccups, also known as the back scissors.

It is a very important part that shapes the flavor of the shavings.

You can't just leave that much to Pietro.

Has he rested and regained some strength, Pietro begins to sharpen his rough energies.

Looking at him, Age relaxes once and stretches her body.

The muscles in my arms were much easier than before.

Looks like my body is finally getting used to life.

"Well, suppose we make another clove before the furnace gets cold"

It takes nearly two hours to make a clove.

Even if I start in the morning, if I make three or four, the day will be over.

"One made a regular jar, and next, let's make a comb jar."

I once saw the comb firmly.

One blade remains intact, and only the other is shaped like a bamboo.

After completing the normal moulding, you can do this by slicing one by one in the shape of a shaft.

A comb should also reduce the amount of work done to cut hair.

While choosing the iron to use for the production, Age began to tighten her mind again.

"Is that a haircut?

"Yes, I have developed a new hair conditioner, so I was wondering if Tania would do the same."

"Hmmm... if it's just the tip of my hair"

Returning home, Age thought about trying out the sharpness of the pimple with his wife's hair.

She had beautiful hair that was glossy, soft and supple, and the expression was perfect.

I always knew I was putting a lot of attention into it.

The cleansed hair is gently wavy and extends beyond the shoulder area to the shoulder blades.

Tania on the table of the house turns her back and makes it easier to cut her hair.

Still beautiful hair.

I can see slight redness in the black when illuminated by the sunset.

It can be smooth and smooth when passed through.

Cut the tip of the hair aligned on the way through.

Shaq, along with a small sound, moves with a lighter response than expected.

Parallaxed and cut hair scattered.

Cut a little bit from end to end.

It's funny to do it, to change shape freely in your own hands.

After I'm done with one street, I'll try to get away from it once.

Sounds Japanese.

"What do you say?

"It's getting more and more beautiful."

"Oh. Mr. Age's hair has grown a lot, too. Shall I hang up, too?

"Are you all right?

"I'm not so forced to hang up, so I think you'll be fine. I've never hung up before."

That's an anxiety word......

Come on, come on, you're prompted, but keep your back.

Parallax and hair fall off along with the feeling of shaking and hair being cut off.

"Ah."

"Duh, what's wrong?

"No...... nothing"

"Is that true?

"It's okay."

My eyes are swimming.

A bad feeling grows in Age.

Once again, he cuts his hair off.

I wondered if my hair had been cut well for a little while and I would hear a disturbing voice again.

"Ah."

"Hey, are you sure you're okay, Mr. Tania!?

"It's okay, it's okay! I cut the right side a little too much, so I'll fix it."

"... If it doesn't seem possible, I'll ask someone who can, so please tell me sooner"

"I'm sad you don't trust me"

"Mm-hmm. You can't say that strongly if they say that much."

I have no choice, I decide to be ready.

My hair falls off in momentum and scatters in the wind.

I feel that the amount is considerably higher than when it is usually cut.

Silence lasts for a while.

At that time the unpleasant feeling had changed to certainty.

Besides, Tania speaks to Age.

"Um."

"Yes."

…………

"Did you do it?

"No...... I'm going to get Mr. Jane now, so could you wait a minute?

"... ok"

I was ready.

I should have done it.

Age never wanted a mirror more than at this time.

What the hell is it made of with glass?

If you go to the village chief's house, there is a bronze mirror, but fulfill it. Does that really give you a good idea of your condition?

I put up with the cold wind hitting my skin and waited for Tania and Jane to come.

After a while, Jane comes with Tania taking her arm.

He was taken without knowing why, and he had a puzzled look.

"What's wrong with calling people out of the blue?

"Please help me. Mr. Age..."

"What! Something happened to Age... and what's wrong with your hair!

As soon as Jane saw her hair, she was surprised, and the next moment she laughed with her belly in her arms.

"Ahahahahaha! You look distorted."

"Don't laugh too much. I'm not liking it."

"No, I'm sorry. I'll make you a proper man, so don't get in a bad mood."

Tania keeps apologizing.

Agie thought as Jane cut her hair.

I thought I'd never just leave my haircut to an amateur again.

I had roughly no major problems and had a peaceful and safe day.
