A Comfortable Craftsmanship Life in the corner of Another World: The Workshop the Goddess Gave Me Was a Little Overkill - Episode 28: The Hidden Object

Cutting down trees and clearing land means that the ceiling above the tree canopy disappears.

“I have to prepare for the rain.”

It’s not raining at the moment, but I want to be prepared for when it comes.

I would like to build a roof over the open area that I use to eat meals.

“Well, what does it look like when it’s completed?”

“I guess it’s like an outdoor barbecue area. Oh, I see. I’d like to have a kitchen area, a roof, and a bonfire if it rains…I guess a wooden deck would be a bad idea. Hmm, I’d like concrete.”

“Concrete is definitely not possible…”

“No, you see, I remembered this when we talked about shoes. For Japanese concrete called Sanwa clay, we have almost all the materials.”

“Tataki?”

“In old houses, the dirt floors and entrance floors were hardened because they looked like concrete made from earth. That’s Sanwa soil.”

“Can you make that?”

“Red soil, gravel, and quicklime. We already have soil and gravel, so all we need is lime…”

“Oh, that’s not there.”

“It can be made by baking seashells.”

“Isn’t it only found in the sea…?”

That’s right. Will I have to go to town again?

“Also, in terms of ingredients, eggshells can also be lime.”

Both shells and egg shells are calcium carbonate.

“So, I see a bird’s nest or something, so I’m going to eat the eggs…?”

“With wild eggs, you don’t know if they’re just laid or just before they hatch…”

“? Is something wrong?”

“…When I tried to cut it open and fry it, it turned out to be a sticky mess that I couldn’t tell if it was the yolk or the meat because only half of it had turned into a chick.”

“Pigya!!!!!”

Chikusa cried.

It took me a while to apologize and calm down.

In the end, I decided to leave the bottom part on the ground and just tamper it down, leaving only the roof on.

If you have a thousand kinds of dark magic and <Craft Gear>, it will be easy to lift the entire roof into the air and rebuild it after making it.

This technique was also used to relocate and renovate old huts.

Chigusa was completely dependent on the transporter.

It is beginning to find its place as heavy equipment.

A dining area — I guess you could call it an outdoor dining space.

In any case, it will be made spacious so that it can function as a place of relaxation.

“Ah, isn’t the pillar big?”

“If the ceilings aren’t this high, you won’t have a sense of freedom.”

“Ah, I see…”

“Our goal this time is to preserve the quality of the outdoor space while protecting it from rain and strong sunlight.”

“Brother, you’re so picky about things like that…”

“When you eat, it’s important to look good. If you stop worrying about it, the food will be like chewing sand.”

“Isn’t that extreme!?”

“Besides, Chigusa will be happy too.”

I want you to be a little happy. When I think about this, I end up thinking one step beyond practical use.

“Well…yes. I-I think it’s fine, but…”

Chigusa said that timidly.

“Thank you. It’s going to be a bit of a hassle, but please be kind when I lift it up.”

“Ah, I’m just lifting it up anyway, so it’s fine.”

Chigusa sat down and grew octopus legs. Young people are dry like this.

After leveling and hardening the ground, place a stone where you want to place the pillar to mark it.

The outdoor dining area was large enough to accommodate about two tents.

It’s quite spacious, so the only problem is the ceiling.

This time, instead of the usual one-sided roof, I’m going with a triangular gable roof.

“Hmm… By the way, is Chigusa the one who remembers the ceiling?”

I don’t remember what was going on in the attic.

“Oh, all I remember is the floor.”

I got a rather painful answer.

…But I feel like when I was on black duty, I just walked and looked at the ground.

Let’s stop talking about this. The problem is the ceiling.

I will think about how to make it in detail. Assemble the wood in your imagination while actually looking at the spacious space.

“The sills, the main house, the rafters…I feel like we don’t have enough lumber.”

I’m worried about the number of pillars because I’m making too many boards.

“…Okay, today’s work is logging and sawing.”

“Ah, yes. I’ll go.”

Together with Chigusa, I headed to the forest in search of new wood.

“Ukatamar, the roots have grown again, so please take me away.”

That’s what I called out near the vegetable garden.

Ukatama happily grows the vegetable seeds we bought in town.

The field has expanded a little. I would like to hear Ukatama’s story about taking care of me someday.

There is a limit to leaving everything to you now.

“Uh, Uka-san. Hey, it’s just roots.”

Chikusa calls out together. I can’t see it, but it’s probably under the ground.

In response to the call, Ukatama pops out from under the ground.

“Ah, it was there. It’s a new root, but where should I put it…huh?”

There was something strange about the armadillo figure of the spirit beast approaching me.

“…Are you Ukatama, really?”

“eh”

When Chigusa said that, another spirit beast resembling an armadillo appeared from beneath his feet.

“Ah, Uka-san, there are two!”

At least two animals, or two people, or something like that.

“From the second one onwards…I’ll keep them as Kotama. Even if there are three or four more, I guess it’s okay for them all to be Kotama…?”

　Ukatama has increased. No, in terms of race, it’s Riddles.

Well, anyway, the number of armadillo spirit beasts has increased before I knew it.

Ukatama and Kotama are nodding their heads. It seems good. thank you.

…If musubi increases, will it become komusubi?

I don’t think it would be a problem if we were separated. Looks like a sumo wrestler.

“I’ll make sure the first child knows.”

Mystia happily welcomed the new employee.

As expected, she was an elf who loved living things.

“You look happy.”

“It’s a good thing that the number of spirit beasts increases.”

Mystia is excitedly wrapping a ribbon around Ukatama’s neck.

Come to think of it, there is also a ribbon that Mystia tied around Matsukaze’s neck.

…I wonder where he had it.

Ukatama doesn’t show any particular reluctance and scurries off as soon as the winding is finished.

“Ah, I’m wearing a ribbon again…it’s a maiden’s hobby…”

Chigusa, who was passing by, expressed this impression when she saw Ukatama passing by her feet.

“Girls’ hobbies…”

After hearing this, Mystia looked back at Chigusa.

“Oh, sorry. It’s nothing.”

“I-I can’t help it? Because, you know, I happened to have nothing left to wrap around anything other than a ribbon… sort of…”

“I don’t know why Ribbon exists in the first place. I understand. I have it, right? Ribbon. I’m sorry, I was reading Jump like I was reading it a long time ago.”

“I wasn’t really planning on rolling it, but somehow I ended up with something that I hadn’t thrown away, so I had no choice but to do it with it… It was like…!”

The two of us are turning blue and red.

I decided to secretly leave the place.

“Woof!”

Matsukaze barks as if it wants to play.

“Be quiet. It would be bad if you were found.”

“to whom?”

Mystia was looking at me with a smile.

　My cheeks are still red. It’s an attack color.

“…I know that girls get hit hard at times like this. You should do it all at once.”

“I won’t!”

　Moo! While saying this, he covered his mouth with both hands.

Don’t see it for the first time. I’m so upset.

“Ugh… that’s embarrassing… Soujirou doesn’t seem to understand anything, so I thought he wouldn’t find out…”

It’s huge. I talk to myself a lot.

Also, that’s what I was thinking too.

Chigusa disappeared before I knew it. Hey, you dark wizard. It’s only at times like this that it becomes faster.

 it can not be helped. I’ll make up my mind too.

“Mystia”

“Ugh!? W-what is it?”

“I also thought that ribbon was a little too cute.”

“Oh, that’s right…”

“But I think it’s okay for Mystia to like what she likes.”

“–I-I guess so?”

“Camping was a hobby that didn’t suit a black social worker, but I ended up doing bushcraft because I liked it. Besides…”

I’m a little embarrassed to say this, but I say it.

“I think Mystia would look good if she was a little cute.”

“Ah…m-m-much, Soujirou! It’s no good!”

 here! ?

I was hit hard on the shoulder. While I was surprised at the unexpected timing, Mystia ran away.

When I thought that, he stopped and pointed at me.

“Soujirou is a divine seal, so it is forbidden for him to woo girls!”

Mystia starts running again.

Although I didn’t woo her…

The Matsukaze remained, so I patted its back and looked into the distance.

“Hmm…girls are difficult, Matsukaze.”

Matsukaze was wagging his tail with an innocent look on his face.

They are showing each other the ribbon around their necks. You guys are at peace.
