95 before one'sincerely.




 The next day, I resumed my normal blacksmithing work. As much as I'd like to work on Apoitakara, I can't just rely on the occasional request, even though I've had enough income, I still need to do some ongoing work.

 So I'm going to have Samija and Diana do the casting, and I'll do the finishing for the next three days, making high quality shortswords and longswords. In the meantime, Rike will be making knives. According to Camilo, weapons sell well, but these knives, which are on the borderline of daily necessities, also sell well.
 However, since knives are close to daily necessities, it is said that more affordable general models sell better than high-priced luxury models. As for weapons, it is said that not a few people buy high class models even if they are expensive, probably because their lives are at stake. So I'm trying to deliver as much as possible according to the sales volume. Of course, it would be a different story if there was an order for how many and which ones, but we have never received such an order from Camilo except for the Halberd requested by His Excellency the Count the other day.
 So for now, the amount to be delivered is up to me. However, I think it's necessary to take into account the fact that there may be a request for this area sooner or later.

 Liddy told me about the magic power, so I'll try to keep that in mind for the first one. As usual, I'll try to find some irregularities and average them out. At this time, very little magical power is put into it. It seems to enter thinly, but it is very slight compared to the custom-made one.
 The biggest difference between the high-end model and the custom-made model is the amount of magic power. The high-end models make the most of the materials themselves, which requires a certain amount of effort and talent, but even ordinary people can reach this level, so it makes sense that there are some craftsmen in Tokyo who can create something close to this.
 As I thought before, if it is a high class model, there is no problem in releasing many of them to the world. If it's a custom-made model, there will be people who will find something wrong with the magic power content, so it's not a good idea to release it too many times.

 Despite these thoughts, the three days of work went smoothly, and we were able to secure enough quantity for the next delivery. It seems that Rike was able to make a lot of knives for the general models, and he doesn't need so many knives for the high-end models, so if I make knives for one more day, I'll have enough for the next delivery, albeit for one week instead of two. Even if I take a whole day off, I can still make it. I have one more day free, so I'll see what I can do with it.
 It would be nice to touch Apoitakara, but considering that I had a hard time with Mithril, I'd like to have three or four days to work on it, and since it's my personal property and not an item for which I'm waiting for a customer, I'll take some time to work on it.

 So, at dinner on the third day, I told the three of them that I would take two days off from the next day.
Let's go fishing again.
 Then, Samija suggested.
"Not the whole two days, but one or the other, right?
 No, I don't think so, but I'll have to check.
Of course.
"So, the day after tomorrow we'll all go fishing together.
Yes!
 Samija is overjoyed. This kind of thing is more like actual years than physical age. It's easy to forget that it's only five years old.
"If Saamya and Deanna are going to go hunting, leave tomorrow and collect them the day after tomorrow when you're off.
Okay.
All right.
 If that's the case, I guess I'll be making fishing rods the afternoon after tomorrow. ....... I can't make a reel, but I need a rod and hook for Deanna. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
 It's not that I don't like blacksmithing anymore, but even if I do the same thing all the time, there will inevitably be moments when I feel depressed, and thinking about my plans for the holidays like this motivates me to work harder, as it did in the previous world. After all, vacations are important. I've been able to secure a regular income, and I'd like to have more time off regularly in the future.

 The next day, I and Rike went to make knives, while Samija and Diana went hunting as planned.
 I made the high-end model, and Rike made the ordinary model, and since I had the cheat, I finished it quickly. Rike's skills are improving, and while he's still slower than I am at making general models, he can make them surprisingly fast compared to the average blacksmith. He would certainly like to be able to make high-end models soon.
 This may be the most trying time for Rike. He is considerably better than most blacksmiths, but he has yet to reach a certain level of skill. If he had the talent and skill to not understand that, he wouldn't mind, but Rike has the talent and skill to understand that, and thanks to Liddy, he got the start of incorporating magic power into his blacksmithing, so he's probably struggling to find what he needs to do to reach another level.
 It would be better if I, the master, could teach them well, but I can't, because mine is a cheat technique. I don't even know what I'm doing half the time. I should try to understand my own technology and teach it properly.
 As I added another line to my future plan, I hammered down on the sheet metal that I would use as a knife.
