CH 8
As trial, I cut a bunch of wheat straw with the knife I just made but I ended up cutting even the whole firewood I used as stand!
It would be the case if I simply state the facts, but still, it is a little unacceptable because it’s only a prototype!This is translated by Yume Neiji
Since it is the first prototype, with the benefit of the “installed” knowledge, I made it quite seriously but I do not want a sharpness that seems to be affected by magic. It’s too dangerous to be cut by it!
What if…
I suddenly think that maybe, I was given some sort of cheat like sword skill so I try the same thing with the knife I used to cut Samia’s clothes yesterday. Although the wheat straw bundle was cut cleanly, contrary to what I expected, the table wasn’t sliced.
In other words, this result may be partly related to the skill of the knife, basically it’s the performance of the knife itself.
Even in my previous world, there is a saying “Do not use ox sword to cut chicken”, but this knife is exactly that. There aren’t many people who want to use a kitchen knife that cuts even the chopping board while cutting the meat!
On the other hand, this knife may be effective as a weapon. Normally, knives are good for non-armored opponents, but if they wear leather armor, the power will be greatly reduced. However with this knife, aside from metal, the cut can penetrate even with a leather armor.
Anyway, this is not for sale. Fortunately since it’s just a prototype, I made it small. I’ll use it for my self-defense.
Using the wood that has just been cut off, I divide it into the same thickness as the knife then form it into knife shape. After applying glue and sticking the board on both sides, I adjust the shape and finally attach the loose leather band to the mouth of the board. With this, I have a simple sheath. For the time being, I can carry it around with this.
However, I’ll be troubled if all the products are completed with this quality. I hurriedly prepare three more sheets of metal that are about the size of the knife I made this time and set up the fire bed.
I am going to forge these three this time, but I will make it into three different ones, one with more power than before, one with a little cut, and one with no cut. Its sizes would be almost the same.This is translated by Yume Neiji
It’s a bit bigger than my self-defense knife, about the size of a survival knife in the previous world.
When I finished hitting the three knives, the sun had set. I’ll do the rest tomorrow morning. I now have to wake up the Samia who was sleeping to heal her injuries.
“Oi, it’s about time for dinner. Wake up.”
“U-uhn…”
Samia rolls over. Ehm, she sounds charmingly erotic.
“It’s important to sleep, but you won’t heal if you don’t eat. Hey! Hey, get up.”
I peeled off the futon and she finally wake up. I only noticed it after removing the futon, Samia doesn’t wear anything when she goes to bed!
It was pretty dangerous… I need to be careful in the future.
“Oh, it’s already time for that? I’ve slept a lot, but I’m still sleepy even if I already slept.”
“That’s because you’re seriously injured. Refrain from moving your body as it may bleed.”
“He~, Eizou knows a lot huh.”
“Not really.”
I had fallen asleep before it was dark yesterday, so it didn’t get its turn but apparently, there is a lantern that magically lights up in the bedroom. It seems to have been included in the “installed” “minimum”, and I can also use it. It’s already very dark, so I try using it immediately.This is translated by Yume Neiji
“Eizou can also use magic!?”
“It’s just for simple things.”
“As expected, those who have a family name are amazing…”
Samia was impressed. There are a lot of people who can’t use it at the very least.
We move to the living room to have dinner. I add root vegetables to the soup that we had in the morning and lunch and turn on the fire again.
The consumption of food increased because it was for two people, but it seems to be still quite enough. However, it won’t last for 2 or 3 months. In that period, I need to find a way to make money here. Basically, I will be going to the town and sell things there or perhaps accept some for repair.
But for the time being, I don’t want to move much from this house until Samia can move without difficulty. If something is to happen to the child when I’m not here, it will leave a bad feeling in me.
During supper, we have a discreet story telling. We avoid each other’s stories about birth, Samia talks about her everyday life, and I talk about the nature of the world I started from. It wouldn’t be a problem to say that there was a very high mountain and I was impressed to see that the snow did not melt at the top.
After eating the rice, both of us sleep. I decided to sleep at the desk in my study. I’m used to this in the previous world.
Samia said that she should be the one to sleep here but I convinced her as I couldn’t do that, we agreed with this setup at least until her injuries are healed.
Two days passed like this.This is translated by Yume Neiji
The next morning, same way as yesterday, after I wake up I make breakfast, then wake Samia up and we eat the food. I boil water separately from the rice and tell Samia to wipe her body with it. Then I go out to fetch water. While I draw water, I also take a bath.
The water is quite cold, probably because it is a lake. Still, I felt refreshed and returned with the water.
Now then, it’s time to continue the three prototypes from yesterday. The three knives harden with different strengths, I did the same tempering for each one. At the very least, I try to sharpen them as a knife. When I’m done, I wrap a leather strap around the handle to prevent it from slipping.
While doing that, it’s about noon in no time, so I’ll have to prepare lunch. During that time, I’ll ask for Samia’s help.
“Samia, I’m sorry but I would like you to help me with something after we finish eating this.”This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com).
“Oh, that’s fine. But… I don’t know anything about blacksmithing.”
“It’s fine. You just need to come with me.”
“Yesterday I only lay down all day long so today I’m feeling pretty good.”
“Alright, I’ll count on you then.”
I asked for her help because I didn’t want my sword skill (or something like that) to be involved in the result of the trial cutting. But if she can cut it along with the stand, it would surely be the knife’s performance.
After finishing our lunch, we move to the workshop.
“I want you to try the sharpness of the three knives here, in order from the right. Put a wheat straw bundle on this stand and cut it.”
“Okay. It’s easy.”
Samia sits on a work chair (just cut logs), puts a bunch of wheat straw on the firewood instead of a stand, and picks up the rightmost of the three knives left nearby and shakes it up. She slashes with force.
There was a snapping sound and the straw bundle broke. But the knife’s blade barely cut into the wood. It’s only cutting the wheat straw bundles.
“Wow! This knife is good! Eizou, you have fine skill!”
“Thank you. Then next please.”
“Ok!”
Perhaps Samia is really on to it, she excitedly picks up the next knife and slice it in the same way as before. There was a snapping sound again and the wheat straw bundle broke. The blade of the knife cut into the wood but there is no such thing as the firewood being halved.
“Hmm, it’s only this sharp huh?”
“No, what are you talking about, Eizou! This knife cuts really well! It’s amazing!”
Samia is very excited, but I am half relieved. In other words, it’s enough even if I don’t make it seriously.
“Well, the last one then.”
“O-ok! I understand.”
While I’m extremely calm, Samia cuts with the last one, the knife that can be said to be the real one. There was no snapping sound. There was no sound at all. However, the knife Samia holds cut into the middle of the wood.
“?”This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com).
It seems that Samia can’t keep up with what happened.
“Try pulling your arms.”
“O-ok…”This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com).
As soon as Samia pulled her arm, the straw bundle and the firewood broke like those seen in manga or anime.
“E-eh, what the heck is this?”
Samia was flustered.
“Calm down, if you panic in that state, it’s very dangerous.”
When I called out to Samia, she looked at me.
“Oh… that’s right. I’m sorry.”
Seems like she calmed down a little.
“No, it’s okay. I didn’t explain it properly, It’s my bad.”
If this happens suddenly in front of you, you’ll really be scared. Even I got scared. I expected it but it’s over the top.
With this, I confirmed it. With the cheat (blacksmith skill) given to me, I can create things with ridiculous performance.
