CH 39

I really enjoyed fishing yesterday. I managed to catch one and keep my face at the last minute. Today is the second day of vacation. Doing the same thing as yesterday would be boring… And if I can’t catch one today, I can’t pull through it. I want to avoid such possibility as much as possible. But if I work during this vacation, I would be a workaholic straight away. Speaking of that, I will not work but I will not just have fun either…

“Today, we will make a field.”

I reverted the hoe that we used to make the rooms back to its original shape, then I go outside the corridor of the new room –as the room increased, I came to the place that has become a courtyard.

“Yes.”

Rike replied while holding a sickle.

“Uhm, it’s good but, why a field?”

It was Samia who also has a sickle with her.

“Right now, we rely on purchase to get vegetables but I also want us to be self-sufficient in this area. Meat can be hunted by Samia, and fruits can also be harvested if we go near the lake, only the vegetables are not.”

It seems that seeds like the original ones I know grow here and there, but I think that in this world, there are different vegetables. In fact, the carrot like ones here is closer to the Hatsuka carrots than the ginseng carrots I know. Well with that, I can assess that I could produce them too.

If I could get some potatoes, I want to secure a place in advance to grow them later. I think that in my previous world, it had not yet spread to Europe during the Middle Ages, but in this world there is no such division as Europe or South America (I know this roughly because of my installed knowledge). They do cultivate wheat and other similar things to it but not all rely on them in this world. However, originally, there aren’t many of those in this area, or they seemed to be consumed only by the farmers, so they are not seen in the market. Perhaps there is a rule that says that one should produce only the amount that they can consume.Translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

As I explained that to Rike and Samia. Rike speak with an impressed face,

“Recalling the things we talked about when we had dinner, Boss sure knows a lot huh.”

“Right! Eizou is kinda strange you see.”

Samia followed up, but saying I’m “strange” is unnecessary. No, since my knowledge in the previous world is combined with the installed knowledge, it’s not really wrong that I’m strange isn’t it?

I have a mixed feeling, but anyway, let’s get started.

Since I will only prepare my own field, I will not violate the rule that “I will not work today”. It’s just like the time I’m taking care of the fields I rent on my day off in my previous world. For the time being, the three of us cut the grass in the courtyard with the sickle. It’s a general model, but it is still too sharp. We have just cut the area and it was about noon already so we stopped working. In terms of size, this would be fine.

“After eating lunch, shall I make a hoe for Rike and Samia too?”

“Is it okay?”This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

“For now, I just hope that you guys can use it today, it’s in that level you see.”

“I think that will be enough.”

Well, I had to do blacksmithing after all, but since this is for the house, I would like to say that it is not counted. After eating lunch, the three of us went to the workplace. Rike and Samia will handle things till the point where the sheet metal is heated and shaped, I’m in charge of finishing it.

Once I lit fire in the firebed, Rike started heating the sheet metal. Eventually, the sheet metal glowed red, Rike takes it out and place it on the anvil. From there, Samia hits it with the hammer until it becomes a big square. Even if there is some misshapen part up to this point, I can fix it. Once it has turned into a certain size, it’s heated again, then Rike put it on another anvil and I took over hitting it with a hammer to give the final shape and touch. I used strength similar to the time I made high-end model ones.

Meanwhile, Rike and Samia work on heating and forming the next sheet metal. While Samia is hammering, I did the heating and while I’m hammering, Rike did the heating. Work proceeds smoothly as never before. Finally, I finished the second hoe blade and so today’s blacksmithing is over. I then select the wood that seems to be good out of the surplus from the construction and make it into a pole. Now there are 3 hoes.

It took us about 3 hours to finish them. After 2-3 hours, the field can be done. However, as it is a given after finishing a work, I still basked in that accomplishment so I can’t muster even a little motivation. But the ladies seem to want to know on how to use the hoe that they actively participated during its production.

Returning to the field again, the three of us plow the soil. As I said before, the soil in this forest is mostly hard. However, we were able to dig up the soil steadily with the efficiency of the high-end model hoe alongside with the strength I got from the cheat, and Rike and Samia’s vigor. This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com)

In a TV program I saw in the previous world, I saw three people working on a rough field to make vegetables, and then cooking using those grown vegetables. However, the thing that is different from that is that our work is quite faster because of our tools and strength. After 3 hours, plowing the soil was finished. However, it’s getting dark, and we have just plowed it up, it’s not a field yet. It’s a little unfinished, but on the contrary, it’s something we can enjoy doing for our next vacation.

We need to take the next vacation early so that weeds do not grow again, this also turns to be a good opportunity to actively make a vacation. Thus with this, my vacation is over, and the next day I’ll start working again. But I don’t feel as depressed as I did in my previous world when Monday comes. I think I really like the life I have in this world.
