Day 56 Daytime.
This is the worst! I was completely unprepared, even though I'm all on my own today, without any allies around, I was totally off guard and careless.
Having a day off from the dungeon exploration and with the blacksmith beginning to smith too I was finally released from work and was taking it easy, completely unaware of what was coming.
They already surrounded me, blocking all escape routes, and there is not enough distance from them to get away with Air Walk. It's a checkmate.
But the worst part is the weapons in their hands.
I never thought that I'd encounter this. I was negligent. I was sure they are a thing of the past.
That's why I let my guard down. I removed them from the list of the enemies I tracked with Detect Presence. Because I thought they were no more. Because I thought that no one had these anymore.
That is Without a doubt the worst weapon. That's right, order forms!
I was working through the night to construct the village? I kept working, despite how horny I felt? I was working basically locked in a fierce battle with the horniness that burned akin to the raging flames of eros? I was pretty sure I'd get scolded if we started doing it in the fields, so I held back?
Doing my best until the morning, fighting off the 108 spirits of worldly desires, all 108 of which turned out to be Lust. And the 109th immediately popped up as well? Lust-san was really stacked on those spirits?
Like, even if the purifying bell was rung every 0,00001 seconds, it still wouldn't be enough to purge them all! Or rather, if it was rung that much it'd be an annoyance! Like, anyone would be sayingwho the hell is ringing that bell, stop it?!!
Why do orders still remain? That is the biggest question, but the key to that mystery is right here! That's right, I was so caught up in making that village that I forgot about other orders, or rather, there is no way I could've done them! Making 1 village is bound to eat up all of the available time!
If a night shift took more than 24 hours, then it has nothing to do with the night anymore. It's just an around-the-clock operation! I don't do such services, but a lewd midnight room service sounds nice? Very nice.
But it has nothing to do with my side job. I like the rewards, but it's not like I like the labor itself.
Look at this! There is Urgent written here. The women of the town are awaiting new dresses! Flare skirts and blouses too!
And I also marked mushrooms lunches as extra urgent!
Why are you ordering food from me?! And every day on top of that! Didn't they open an eating place right next to your store?! And also There is urgent written here, there is urgent written everywhere, on every order!
If you write it on everything, then the entire point of writing urgentis lost. And why do lunches get extra urgent every time?!!
Speaking of which, I now remember that there was an order for an insane amount of women's clothing. However, it was for long skirts, long flare skirts, and just ordinary blouses.
If that order was for miniskirts, sexy dresses, or fishnet stockings, I would've made them right away, instantly, and delivered them the first thing in the morning! And then I would've sat down in the middle of the street to spectate the fruits of my labor!
But where would they be carrying wallets?
Looks like that's not the case. And thus, the general store's shopkeeper returned to the store, carrying clothes. Naturally, she didn't forget the lunchboxes as well. Even though she almost forgot the clothes!
Now then, this settles it for the time being? The bucket workshop definitely doesn't need any coaching, after all, there is nothing but dudes working there. And it seems they are managing just fine. The foundry has only middle-aged men.
So this place is the only solace for me, but apparently, they won't accept my job application. Even though I'm an investor?
Well, let's go back and make equipment and dinner? Although it's a bit troubling since it's still too early, even more troubling is Armored Pres-san's figure, it won't leave my mind so it's a big trouble? Sort of? But since she is still not back, it's not a fun sort of trouble?
Having things I want to do but nothing I need to do, I head back to the forge and borrow some space there to try my hand at smithing. The stuff I made as a practice I gave to Royal Girl and Meri family.
That family has the highest probability of getting targeted, in fact, they already were attacked in the past. They probably wanted to get hostages and threaten Meripapa-san. Even Royal Girl is in quite the danger. Since I used good materials, even though it was only a practice, it turned out like that.
It's better than what's available on the market and it also has bonus effects.
Old maan. Why do you have to hammer your swords? Don't you have Alchemy? Can't you mass-produce an item with Alchemy once you make one manually?
Is it because you are bald? Or is it because the only hair you have is your beard? Wanna transplant them?
Don't transplant people's beards on their heads as you please! I can't mass produce anything with Alchemy, magic stones fusion, bestowing enchantments, and then refinement is the most I can do. And when it comes to transmutation then just doing things by hand will be faster and give better quality.
Your Alchemy is the weird one. Even alchemists can't do that. Good grief, just what do you think my precious beard is
After all, I should learn the katana manufacturing method from the Geeks. Most likely, if trained, this old man should be able to make some amazing stuff.
However, the result of allowing them to work on katanas was a steamship, and what is really irritating, it now does an awfully good job at transporting. Let's make a torpedo next time.
It's kind of meh? It somehow feels lacking? Why do I have this This isn't itfeeling? Am I doing something wrong?
But can I even spot a mistake without sufficient knowledge? But it somehow feels off anyway? Just what is this? Hmmm, is it because regardless of my understanding, I have read about this before and seen real articles?
What is this fancy talk! You are definitely the only person in the whole world who can mass-produce items of this quality! If something like this were made in large quantities every single blacksmith would go out of business. Man, this is outrageous.
The quality won't improve from mass production, you know? Hmm, well, if I enchant and mithrilify them, it should be about the same level as the items found on dungeons' middle floors. However, if I mithrilified items from the middle floors they would turn even better.
It's a bit questionable, but it should cover the shortage of classmates' equipment. This is a very important point, gearing 30 people was a problem, but this should solve it, and this can also be used as a base standard for gear.
And an even more important point, is that the ones with the most cash in this remote region are my classmates, who are raiding dungeons' middle floors! Let's rip them off!
