Chapter 46 – Iron Manufacturing Skill

I used the newly acquired “Iron Manufacturing” skill.

The table emitted a bluish-white light.

What a brilliance…it was like a jewel.

“Havamar, what should I do?”

“Put the iron ore on the table.”

“Okay, I’ll try it.”

I took out 10 “iron ores” from the item box and placed them on the table. At that moment, the iron ores began to change shape. It twisted and turned and eventually turned to a lump of “iron”.

It was completed so easily!

“Wow, you’ve made iron…!”

Skor, who was watching nearby, was impressed. I feel the same way. To think it was completed so easily. Then, I’ll turn the remaining 70 iron ores into iron as well.

I continued to turn them into ‘iron’ using the same procedure. It didn’t require magic or anything, and the iron was completed in a matter of seconds. What the heck, if a blacksmith saw this situation, he would cry and rage, saying he would lose his job.

――I finished the work and obtained 80 iron.

“Phew, it’s done. I didn’t expect it to be so easy to make.”

“That’s right, big brother. The worktable is versatile and indispensable in life. From now on, it will become an important skill, so be sure to master it.”

“Yeah, thanks. You did well, Havamar.”

I lightly patted Havamar’s head for some reason.

“Ah, big brother…”

“Oh, you’re so cute.”

“Unyaa~”

Havamar let out a sweet voice and narrowed her eyes pleasantly. As I was praising her, Skor muttered to herself.

“Uh, I’m jealous…”

“Eh?”

“I need to contribute something too…!”

For some reason, Skor was fired up.

I wonder what happened.

Hmm…?

“Well then, big brother. Now that we have iron, it is possible to manufacture anything from ‘weapons’ to ‘daily necessities’.”

“Ah, first let’s make some cooking utensils. Let’s make knives, pots, frying pans, ladles, spoons, and forks.”

“The knives, pots, and frying pans require two pieces of iron. The smaller utensils require only one piece of iron.”

“Is that small amount really enough?!”1

“Umu, that’s how versatile the worktable is.”

“What an amazing ability.”

With this, our standard of living will improve dramatically. Alright, first let’s try making a “Kitchen knife” as a test.

I activated my ability and placed two pieces of iron on the table.

After a few seconds, the knife was completed with a satisfying “clunk”.

That was so fast and easy!!

“Seriously! It’s so easy that I can’t help but laugh!”

“Keep it up, big brother. Please keep making more and enrich our lives!”

“I’m cheering for you too, Rasty-san!”

With encouragement from the two, my motivation skyrocketed and I continued to manufacture more and more.

As a result, I used up 23 pieces of iron and obtain 1 kitchen knife, 1 pot, 1 frying pan, 1 ladle, 4 knives, 4 spoons, and 4 forks.

Now, it’s possible to cook at least the basics!

“Skor, the cooking utensils are complete.”

“Wow! To be able to create tools like this, Rasty-san is like a magician. I feel like I’m witnessing a miracle!”

Skor, who was very excited, waved the kitchen knife in excitement. She’s a bit dangerous!

“All of those cooking utensils are yours, Skor. Thank you as always.”

“Eh…but”

“Because you’re going to cook for us from now on, right? I’m counting on you.”

“…Rasty-san. Yes, I… I’ll do my best.”

Huh, I… my chest is pounding. Skor’s pure smile is so lovely…it’s dazzling. I don’t know why, but right now, I feel like Skor is the cutest in the world.

…What’s happening to me?

“I’m glad for you, big brother.”

“Ah, ah… my face feels hot for some reason.”

Maybe I worked too hard…or maybe I caught a cold.
