321 - - 319 pieces of furniture.

Yesterday, the Paradise Band held a concert at the Rose Garden. Although there were some accidents such as an unscheduled increase in the audience, the band performed well and was highly praised by the audience. I am glad I bought handbells.

In the morning, we went around the paradise to feed the animals and check on their condition. I'd like to get to know them better, but I have to leave before they get used to me, so it's not going well. The guava bird chicks are growing and I wonder how many imprinting opportunities I've missed.

"Master!　Do you have a minute?"

After lunch was over, I was thinking about the animals while watching the little ones playing and jumping around in paradise, when Gina and the others called out to me.

"Yeah, we don't have any plans, but what's wrong?"

"You got some carpentry tools as a gift from your master. I thought Shiva and the others would be happy to have some furniture, and I'd like to make some furniture for them. Will you teach me?"

Not only Gina, but Sarah and the others are looking very enthusiastic. I see,......, they had spent the morning playing with the little ones in the village of spirits, and seeing the furniture for the spirits at the inn must have rekindled their enthusiasm. It's a small piece of furniture and I bought the varnish for woodworking along with the carpentry tools, so as long as I'm careful not to hurt myself, it shouldn't be a problem.

"Okay. Okay, let's build it now. First, you're going to make furniture for your contracted spirits, right? Do you have any idea what you're going to make?

"I want to make a dog house for Shiva.

"I want to make a perch for Huku and a hole in a tree for Puru.

"Master, I want to build a cucumber house, too."

"Mame-chan's perch, I'll make it."

...... I think perches are relatively easy to make. Sheba's doghouse will be fine. But a cucumber house?　I don't know what a boar nest looks like. Is it the same as a dog house?

"Um, Marco, what kind of house are you going to make for Uri?"

"...... Uri likes to go into small holes, so can we use the same one as the kennel?"

Can we be the same? I don't know what to say. Apparently, Marco isn't so sure either. It would be sad if Uri doesn't like it even if we made it. I think it would be safer to discuss the design with Fukuchan and the others.

"In the meantime, Gina and the others should summon Fukuchan and the others and discuss with them what kind of furniture they want. Even if you don't understand their language, you should be able to communicate with them by drawing pictures and so on. This is also a good practice for a genie magician."

"Since Sheba is going to use it, it would be better to make furniture that she wants, right?"

Gina nodded her head yes or no. She didn't want to make the furniture secretly and give it as a surprise present. Then it would be better to discuss it with her so that she could make a good furniture.

Gina and the others immediately summoned Fukuchan and the others and started talking with them, so I summoned Belle and the others and asked them what they wanted.

"A chair?" Cue ""I want a chair and a tsukuee."""Coo-coo.""A fabulous fuse of electric power!""" ......"

Yeah, just as I thought, I didn't understand any of the requests except for Belle and Tulu. No, I was supposed to be able to understand Flare's request.

"Flair, I can't make the legendary weapon."

You can't?

"No, I can't."

It's too much to ask of you to look up at me like that. I might be able to get some legendary weapons in the labyrinth, but it's not something I can make myself, being a carpenter by trade.

Once again, I preface with something simple that I can make, and then ask Belle and Tulu to help me translate and match up what we all want.

Belle, Tulu, Fleur

A chair and a desk for himself in the child's room.

Rain

A tub in the children's room where they can take a relaxing dip in the water.

Tamamo

Planter for growing plants in a child's room.

Moon

Hole that fits snugly and snugly.　　

That's all. The desk and chair are fine. I thought about making Rain's water trough out of glass ...... for a moment, but I think he'll be happier with wood like everyone else. The planter can be made of wood as well. The water trough and the planter don't have to be made by using a sake barrel, but since it's a request, I might as well make them myself. Moon's request for the hole is too easy. I'll just have to measure the bells and tules and flares.　

"We've decided what we're going to make, but have you decided what you're going to make for Gina and the others?

I've decided. Sheba wants something more like a fireplace with a fire in it than a doghouse. It's too hot for a fireplace, so I asked her to make a lantern that can be lit by fire.　　　

I see, Rain is a spirit, too, not a dolphin or a dog. I'm glad to be associated with attributes. And I agree that the fireplace is a tough one in this environment. It's just too hot. I'm surprised you even knew the word "fireplace". But ...... how do you make a lantern?

I have a vague idea of the shape, but I don't think I can make a lantern that uses ...... fuel for the mechanism. I can make a lantern shape and put a candle in it. It may be just a lantern in the shape of a lantern, but I'll give you a break on that. I am afraid of burning the wood, and it might be better to plate it with metal.

Sara continues to talk about the same thing: a stop and a hole. Kikka is a perch. Marco, who was having a hard time, wants to bathe in the sand in his room, and at Uri's request, they decided to make a small box filled with sand. It's a sand version of Rain's water trough. It looks like the sand bed I used to have before I got my bed.

"Now we each have something to make. Then I'll make the blueprints. Please consult with your contracted spirits about the approximate size and shape and write them down on this paper. Drawings are fine.

I may not be able to draw a detailed blueprint like a professional would, but if I put it on paper, I can understand what I want to make. Then I can help Gina and the others to get closer to their image.

****

"Um, are you sure you want to make this?"

"...... no?"

Kikka looks at me anxiously. It's not the same as the mocking look she gives me, but a serious look of anxiety. I'd like to do something about it if I could. .......

"No, it's not that I can't do something about it, but ...... there are a little too many branches, aren't there?"

Kikka's drawing is surprisingly good, but the perch in question has branches growing in all directions, just like a real tree. It looks like a tree whose leaves have all fallen off in winter.

I'm not saying you can't make it, but it's difficult to make your first work at this level, and if you make it in a size that Mame can use, it would be quite large.

"Well, I wonder if it would be better to keep the same shape and reduce the number of branches.　For example, I think that the small branches you wrote in some places will make it hard for the bean to stop. It would be cool to have them for atmosphere, but since this is the first time to make it, I think it would be easier to make a simpler version."

...... stares at Kikka with bated breath. Kikka looked at her picture, looked at Mame, and nodded her head. I'm sorry. I'd be a cool adult if I could make it and actually finish it, but I didn't think I could.

I took out another sheet of paper, and after consulting with Kikka and Mame-chan, I drew a simple perch with fewer branches.

"Is it okay like this?"

"Yeah." "Ho."

Kikka and Mame agree with me. The blueprint is complete. Now we need to explain what parts are needed and how to use the carpentry tools and practice. ...... It's a lot of work, so I'll skip the hammer and nail process this time and ask Dolly to do it for me.

****

"I've already marked the parts, so you just need to cut them according to these marks and you'll have your parts. And if you don't think you can do it by yourself, I will help you, but be careful not to hurt yourself as I have taught you. Okay?"

It's strange to worry about something as simple as chopping wood when we're sending you into a labyrinth.

Okay... yes... yes... I'll do my best.

Gina and the others nodded with enthusiasm. At first, it will be all right if we just keep an eye on things.

Gina and the others quickly grab a piece of material and start cutting out parts with a saw. I was worried about whether Kikka and the others would be able to handle the carpentry tools well because of their small size, but they showed us their stable sawing skills, probably due to the effect of their higher level.

I think the level system is a cheat, as even a small child can gain the same physical strength as an adult. Well, considering the fact that the level cannot be easily raised without defeating demons, it may be a good balance.

"Yuta, Beru no Isu!"

Oops, I was watching Gina and the others while thinking, but it seems that Belle, who was waiting for her chair to be made, couldn't stand it any longer. I don't want to keep them waiting, so I'll get started on mine.

I quickly cut the materials and feel somewhat sorry for myself. Gina and the others are hard at work with their saws, while I'm just sputtering away with my cheat tool. In a situation like this, being a cheater is not a good idea. I should have gotten a normal carpenter's tool for myself.

Well, I'll have to make do with what I don't have, and I start to cut the pre-marked pieces of wood into pieces. In this process, the hole for the moon is completed in an instant. ...... Just adjust the size of the hand auger to the size that the moon can fit perfectly and drill the hole. ...... This is Can we call it DIY?

Since Moon's was so cut-and-dried, I prepared one hole that fits perfectly in a larger tree, and another hole with a tunnel next to it. This should make it look a little less cut-and-dried.

I finish cutting all the parts, watched over by the excited Belle and the others. The next step is to sand these parts. Since the kids are going to be using it, we should take off the corners and make them rounded. Finally, it's time to use my first pioneering tool.

Magic sandpaper　

Smooth and smooth on any uneven surface!　Wood, stone, metal, anything. Resize freely up to 2 meters. No weight on the handle.

I wonder if it is possible to make ...... sandpaper up to 2 meters in size, but I am sure it is a great performance. If we had found it at the beginning, it would have been much easier to make dishes than using the magic planer.

At any rate, if you apply the magic sandpaper to the cut parts and rub it quickly, the wood powder will spill out. The surface of the wood becomes smooth after one round of ....... There are still a few bumps on the surface, but it seems to flatten out after a few times of rubbing. The cheat of the sandpaper is very useful.

I check on Gina and the others while removing the corners of the parts. Well, Gina is a lantern, so I guess she has finished cutting the wood and is roughly shaping it with a knife.

Sarah, Marco, and Kikka are still cutting parts with saws. They seem to be enjoying their work while wiping sweat off their faces. They haven't made any major mistakes, and at this rate, they should be able to complete the project successfully.
