Chapter 5: First to prepare my living space

The exterior of the house is complete, but as there was no bed, I slept on a plank while covered in a mantle.

「Uugh, ...... o-ouch.」

Telling myself that today is the last time I’ll sleep on a hard plank, I loosened my body as I got up.

After I washed my face and brushed my teeth at the only water well in the village, I did some light stretching, and I ate the sausage and bread that Vanga-san’s wife, Martha-san, brought over last night.

「Now then, gotta chop down some trees first.」

Sometime yesterday, Vanga-san marked some trees needed for the periodic thinning. I will be logging those trees today, then I plan on making an assortment of furniture and tableware afterwards.

「Hmm, its cutting edge seems to be dull.」

Looking at the edge of the axe that I borrowed yesterday, I judged that chopping down trees with this would be difficult.

「Come to think of it, wouldn’t Smithing magic work somehow?」

Among the Smithing magic, there is one that can freely manipulate the form, Craft, and another for honing, Sharp. I held the axe and invoked Smithing Magic. Since the level of my Smithing skill is low, it was sharpened roughly, but because it is an axe, that isn’t a problem.

So with the axe on one hand, I exited the village gate and trudged my way into the mountain to fell some trees.

I swung the axe into the marked trees.

Kan! Kan! Kan!

Cutting down a tree 30 cm in diameter was harder than I thought.

But as I sweat buckets, I was able to cut down the tree.

〈The 「Logging」 Skill has been obtained〉

〈The 「Axe Technique」Skill has been obtained〉

“Right after I finished cutting down that one tree, I got some skills. But in reality, getting skills can’t be this simple, right?” is what I thought as I chopped down one marked tree after the other with the skill, which increased my tree cutting speed, that I obtained.

The benefits of the skills were tremendous, from second to third, and from third to fourth, my tree cutting speed increased several fold each time the skill level went up.

The logged timber only needs to be stored in the Item Box so I reached the quota of timber much faster than planned.

I placed the timber stored in the Item Box into the timber storage space, took some timber for the furniture, and headed back to the house.

With the tools I borrowed from Vanga-san, I will be making a bed.

But first, checking my status.
