Takarakuji de 40-oku Atattandakedo Isekai ni Ijuu Suru

"Do you want to go as fast as this?

"Yes... to this extent... I don't think I should"

Barletta and Rosru exchange words as they run wildly through the dry earth towards the far-sighted mountains.

Two people running at speeds slightly above the average speed of a 100-meter walk world record, but I don't see any particular imposition.

Barletta, who is not usually used to running, runs with care not to disturb the pace and breathing, but Roslu is still likely to have room.

"Speaking of which, I've found a pit that was abandoned when I used to go to the mountains. Perhaps there's some ore in the area that I saw earlier."

"Pit... is it?

Barletta responded with a tendency to interrupt worrying about breathing, in response to Rosru speaking to Slurpee in an unusual way.

"Yeah, I thought it was probably something that was dug a long time ago... oh, you don't have to answer me. You can listen to me."

Barletta nodded at Rosru's words and concentrated on looking straight ahead and running.

Normally I don't have a problem with running in silence, but when I maintain this speed while talking, the difficulty soars as soon as possible.

It doesn't mean we can't afford to talk at all, but running until we get to the mountain talking slutty like Roslu is pretty tough on Barletta right now.

The first few minutes should be good, but its internal respiration is disturbing and draining your strength at once.

"I think it's a pit that was abandoned after digging into a mine vein, but there were piles of abandoned stones around it. I don't remember if there was a red stone in the picture, but it sounds like it would be worth a stop."

While Baretta ran carefully to avoid disturbing her breathing, she was pleased with the information brought to her by Roslu.

Some of the rocks that have emerged as trash from the pits that have already been mined may also be mixed with some iron ore.

If we can find a place where iron ore is thrown together, we should be able to get iron ore easily without having to go out of our way to do mining work.

"So, it rained heavily when I found that pit. I went inside to do a rainstorm, but inside it was a nest of bats. My feet are piled with bat manure, and if I went outside, it would get wet a lot... in the end, I stayed standing in the pit until the rain came up with my feet all covered in manure. That was hard."

Barletta accidentally leaked a tickle and a grin at Rosru's memorabilia, which she called smudge.

Running for an hour listening to a little Roslu memorabilia that talks to Pelapella that way.

Without ever pinching a break on the way, the two arrived at the open plain at the foot of the mountain.

The mountain is part of the mountainous area northwest of Isteria and is located north of the village of Gricea.

In front of the two, there is a bush of trees.

There are so many trees and grasses that it is impossible to know from this place what is going on at the end of the jungle.

"Hmm. You're finally here... are you okay?

Rosru speaks out worryingly to Barletta, who is letting her breathe out with her hands on her knees.

"Yes, yes... it's okay, it's... just a little rest..."

Barletta is pounding and sweating from her nose tip and jaw as she exhales rough.

In exchange, Roslu hasn't disturbed his breath as loudly or sweated as Barletta, although he is sweating on his forehead and breathing somewhat faster.

Differences in underlying health, which cannot be compensated by the strengthening of physical abilities alone, were appearing here and in reality.

Suggested to sit down and rest in Roslu, Barletta rested her body as she wiped her sweat with a cloth towel she had sat down on the spot and brought with her.

In the meantime, as Roslu entered the bustling mountains of trees, he immediately returned with a branch as thick as an adult's arm.

It seems that the branches have been chopped off with a twist, and the diagonally cut cross section is in a beautiful oval shape.

From the cross section of the branch, the puffiness and the water had fallen zero.

"Yes, Mr. Barletta. Tilt this branch and the water will come out. If you drink too much, you can get down on your stomach... so I don't care how much we drink right now."

"Oh, thank you......"

When Barletta received the branches from Roslu, she tilted the branches upwards with the incisions attached to her mouth.

At the same time, a lot of water overflowed from the branches at once.

It has an unusual flavour that seems a little tannic, but seems to be perfectly fine for drinking.

Barletta sounded her throat very loudly and drank the water, offering the branches to Roslu.

"Hmm... I'm back. Would you like a drink, too, Mr. Roslu?

"Mmm... no, I'm fine. And when you get it, Kazura will be mad at you."

"Huh?... ahhh..."

Noticing that he was about to give him the branches he had put his mouth on, Barletta relaxed with a reddish face, also with Rosru's dialogue.

Rosru went back into the mountains when he raised his voice to such a valletta and laughed.

Five minutes to wait as it is.

Roslu returned from the mountains as Barletta, whose health had fully recovered, was standing up and paying off the leaves and sand attached to her clothes.

They've picked something up in the mountains because of the slight bulge in the back Zuta bags.

"Mr. Rosru, it's all right now. Let's go find the ore."

"Okay. Shall we go to the river plains first?"

Rosru nodded at Barletta's words, pulling the tweezer out of his back and into the trees again.

Barletta went after him a little farther to avoid getting in the way of Rosru, who sometimes cut off the claws that inhibited his hand waving the claw.

"What have you picked earlier? Looks like there's something in the bag."

"I've picked branches of grinding powder (and). My wife asked me to slip through the door recently."

Roslu's reference to the branches of grinding powder is to the smooth tree branches on the surface of the white powder.

If you apply this powder to the door layout, which you've been using for years and has slipped badly, it will slip better all at once.

It's much more effective than applying wax, so I treasure it a lot when I take this branch home.

Branches will remain powdered for some time if they are stuck on the ground, so they can be used by everyone in the village.

"Oh, I want to let you use it, too. Slipping on the barn door has been bad lately..."

"Then I'll give you a few when I get back to the village. I've picked a lot of them, so I thought I'd split them up with everyone in the village."

20 minutes of walking around the mountains talking like that.

Using the height of their physical abilities, the two traveled almost in a straight line to reach the desired river plain, partitioning the mountains quite forcefully.

The river plains were either because the ground soil was washed away by heavy rains and artillery water during the rainy season, or most of the ground was rocky.

Along the cliffs lying on either side of the river plain, there are some places overlapping as if different rocks, large and small, had been swept away.

"Wow, that's a beautiful place!

To the beautiful sight that spreads in front of her, Barletta raised her eyes with admiration.

The river plains are mostly cobblestones, and between the cliffs and cobblestones that soar on both sides, there is one thick river that leads from the mountains ahead.

The sound of rustling water and the spirals of birds and trees clinging from the woods created a truly tremendous atmosphere.

"Isn't it? When you come hunting in the mountains, you burn fire in this place to reveal the night. There are a number of holes (diapers) just the right size around there, so you can bathe in the water, and occasionally you can take the fish that are in the holes. It's my favorite place."

As Barletta proceeded in the direction Rosru pointed to, holes just as deep as her hips were vacant in a way that stuck to the river.

The hole is about three meters wide and the river's water flows loosely into the hole.

The water seemed very clear and clear to the bottom of the hole, either because the water was constantly being replaced.

The rock skin in the hole is very smooth, and this doesn't seem to hurt your skin with rocks even if you go inside.

Incidentally, a hole is a hole that has been emptied into a rock by water currents over the years.

"The water looks clear and pleasant...... oh, it's pretty cold"

Barletta knelt in by the hole and gently tried to get her hands on the water.

The snowmelting water flowing from the mountains is limp and cold, and feels good for burning skin walking through the mountains.

The water temperature appears to be slightly lower than the river flowing near the village of Gricea for its proximity to the summit, which is the water source.

"So, you can also see the stones in the pictures you just showed me a lot around here. Look, over there."

To Rosru's words Barletta looks up and follows Rosru's gaze.

"Oh, really. You have a red stone."

A mixture of iron ore, supposedly reddish-colored red iron ore, was seen among the rocks piling up by the cliff.

When Barletta rises, she runs over the cobblestone to its ore.

Run on the cobblestone, careful not to let your feet slide, and reach by the rocks that are piling up massively.

Barletta crouched on the spot and took the book out of the Zuta bag, opening a page with the signs pinched.

Compare the colour pictures in the book to the colour of the ore in front of you.

Based on the condition and color of the surface, apparently it is definitely in red iron ore.

"What do you say? Does that stone look okay to you?

"Yes, this is iron ore and it doesn't seem to go wrong. Pretty much."

Among the massive rocks, it appeared that not only the red iron ore but also the magnet mine (Jitsuko) was mixed.

You can see quite a few quantities just by looking at them, so if you sort through these rocks properly, you will be able to get a good amount of iron ore.

"Mr. Rosru, is this river the same river that runs by the village?

"It's the same river. A couple of other rivers will rendezvous or break up along the way."

Barletta nodded happily to Rosru's explanation.

If this river is connected to a river near the village, the ore obtained here can be transported easily to the village using a raft.

The raft material can be taken as much wood as it wants from the surrounding mountains, and the raft will not go to waste if it is dried and then turned into firewood for use in the village.

It's a little tricky to come to this place, but if it's this deep in the mountains, there won't be any other human in the way.

On top of that, even if we didn't have to do mining work for the time being, it was an ideal location for all the work we could do.

Charcoal used for iron production will be made up for if charcoal barns are built either in this place or in the village.

I can get a lot of wood around the village, so I don't think I need to worry about fuel.

All the knowledge of charcoal grilling and how to make the furnace used to make iron are detailed in the specialty books and ethnic history that Ichiyoshi brought to us.

I can borrow the whole wisdom of my ancestors, so I will be able to proceed with my work without any major failure.

"Would you also like to go to the abandoned pit?

"Yes, because of that, I'd like to see that too. Because I want to know where and how much ore there is."

Barletta looked around the river plain as she stood up with the book in a sack.

Then he noticed that the wall of the cliff on his eyes was striped red and black.

"What's up?

Roslu leans his little neck and speaks to Barletta, who stopped moving after looking at the wall.

Barletta opened the Zuta bag again in a hurry, taking the book out of it and turning it as it was.

And when I find the color photo I want, I turn again to the cliff I just saw.

"... striped... iron deposits..."

So twinkly, I follow the cliff wall with my eyes and gaze upstream of the river.

The stripes found on the cliff walls appear to continue uninterrupted.

When Barletta turned her attention to the cliff on the other side, there were similar stripes on the wall.

"Uh... well, all of this..."

The page of the book held by Barletta, which crumbles, contained pictures of a similar pattern to the cliff walls of this river plain.

What Barletta sees is a cross section of the formation of an iron ore vein commonly called a striped iron ore deposit.

It was this place that was the great mineral range of iron ore.

Barletta and Rosru had since resumed their mountain climbs and had come to the abandoned pit that Rosru had found in the past.

This pit is located upstream of an earlier river plain.

It was dug about 100 meters away from where it climbed upstream along the river for about 30 minutes.

The entrance to the pit is about to be grassy, with a dark, creepy atmosphere inside.

The entrance is reinforced with wood, but it looked like it had been abandoned for quite some time, most of which had rotted in the melt.

It's like even a ghost is about to come out.

"This is the pit. When I used to come in, there was bat shit right in there, so you shouldn't go in there."

"You can't see anything in the dark..."

Barletta puts her hands on the entrance to the pit and peeks inside, but it's dark inside and I can't see anything.

I was wondering if I could even find some kind of mineral vein on the wall in the pit, but it would be tough if I couldn't move on and get hurt, so I shouldn't go in there today.

"The abandoned stone remains the same. This is quite a lot."

When Barletta looked in the direction Rosru was looking at, there were massive piles of rocks there.

The soil carried by the wind storm is clogged in the gap between the stones, from which grass and snails stretch slightly.

It will be somewhat laborious, but if you pull off the grass and twigs on the surface, you will be able to dig out the ore.

As Baretta walked over to the rocky mountains, she observed the rocks visible on the surface.

"Ah, it's a brown iron mine. A little, but there is."

Among those stones was a very small amount of light black yellow iron ore, thought to be brown iron ore.

It's mixed with abandoned rocks, which means if you look inside the pit, you might find a mineral vein.

Barletta went back to the entrance to the pit again and peered inside the wall with her hands on the entrance wall.

However, no particular mineral veins are found on the walls close to the entrance, a very normal rock skin.

I crouch on the spot and try to pay a little for the ground with the tree branches that were falling nearby.

Then, what appeared to be bat manure, the corn brown, scattered as the branches moved.

"... ah"

"Shall I make leather shoes when I get back to the village? It's not a big deal yet near the entrance, but a little bit of it makes a big deal out of bat shit. I'd like to give you a break to go inside with this grass."

It was Barletta staring at the ground she had paid for, but as soon as she nodded at Roslu's words, she stood up.

I'm also going to have to look into the pit right now, so it looks like I'd better decide to come back later.

From the clearance on the ground that Barletta paid with the branches, thin pieces and white things were peeking into his face.
