Additional Order
「Yosh, shall I go then」
It’s been an hour since Nord-tousan and Elenora-neesan left to go hunting monsters with the vigilante corps. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I was reading a book in my room, but now I decided to check on the task Nord-tousan asked me to do, ordering the scoops for the slime scoops.
Actually, he told me to go out at the same time as them, but I won’t be able to use Teleport if I were to go out together with them
Elman’s workshop is located at the back of Koryatt village’s north side, it’s a little far if I were to walk there it’s a hassle.
After putting the book onto the bookshelves, I left my room and descended the stairs to the first floor.
Immediately after, I met Sara - who was just walking down the hallway. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Alfried-sama, are you going out?」
Elna-kaasan is probably sound as asleep after trying the Good Sleep slime. It would be better to tell the maid - Sara - that I’m going out.
「Un, I’m going to Elman’s place to take care of the matter Nord-tousan asked me to」
「Understood. I will let Elna-sama know」
「Un, kaasan is probably sleeping with the Good Sleep slime, I’ll leave her to you. Okay then, I’m going」
「Ufufu, have a good day」
After I say that to her, Sara sent me off outside while smiling with a hint of amusement on her face.
What a wonderful thing it is, to have a beautiful woman saying 「Have a good day」 while smiling at you when you go out.
I may be able to do my best if only there was a beautiful woman like Sara who supported me Oh well, it’s pointless even if I think about it right now, there’s no meaning to it anyway.
I was about to Teleport after I went to the courtyard but I didn’t know if anyone would be looking so I just kept on walking straight and headed past the gate.
Then following the wall that surrounds the mansion, I cast Teleport after checking that there is no one around me.
「Teleport!」
Space is distorted and the scene suddenly changes
There is no longer the straight road leading to the village right in front of me, but the entrance to the northern forest on the outskirts of the village.
If it’s here, there are almost no houses and there is seldom anyone passing by. It’s safe to Teleport here when I’m going to the north side of the village.
After walking to the south, before long I saw Elman’s workshop.
It’s a slightly bigger house located near the wooded area.
I wonder if they are in the middle of cutting down lumber or something, I can hear a delightful *shasha* sound from there.
The resounding sound is so delightful in this quiet environment.
After enjoying that sound for a while, I went to the front door and knocked on the door.
「Yeーss……ah, Alfried-sama! Please wait a minute. I will call Elman-san for you 」
「Un, please do」
A young worker came out of the door but as soon as he saw my face, he rushed back inside.
And soon after, the door opened and Elman came out this time. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
「Welcome, Alfried-sama」
「Hey, Elman. Nord-tousan asked me to go check on you, what about the thing we asked you to make?」
「If it’s the Kick Target and Throwing Target, they were completed yesterday」
「Ooh, as expected from you Elman. You’re fast at your work」
「That’s because the things I made this time both have the same construction. There wasn’t much problem in making them. Also, we also have a lot of new young people helping me due to the reversi before」
Elman show me the inside of his workshop while smiling with a little bit of pride mixed in.
The inside of the workshop is wide, there are several youths working inside, shaving wood, and carrying it somewhere.
Before the reversi and shogi were developed, this place was still a bit cozy but now the number of people has increased by quite a lot.
「This is also thanks to Alfried-sama for developing the reversi」
Thanks to workers who came in order to learn the skill to make reversi under Tori’s referral, the village’s youth started to recognize jobs that provide stability and income, so there is an increasing number of youths who chose to work as craftsmen.
And so, woodworking has become a profession that is gaining popularity in the village of Koryatt.
「No no, it’s because Elman made fine work」
「Th, thank you very much」
They may have the effect as products, but they were able to be reproduced due to Elman’s high technical skill.
The villagers are basically good at making things, but still, the things Elman made are more beautiful and easy to use.
And since Elman has such high technical skill, I can just leave it all to――no, I mean, I’m confident and can entrust the tasks to him.
「Would you like to see the finished product right away?」
「Un」
「Okay then, let’s go to the storehouse outside」
Led by Elman, we headed straight to the storehouse next door.
The Pitching target is still fine, but the Kick target is quite large. So they won’t have any other place to put it besides the storehouse or outside. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
Elman unlocks the door to the storehouse and opens the big door with a rattle.
The inside of the storehouse is wider and brighter than I expected. Sunlight is shining in from the window at the top, illuminating the wooden products stored inside.
Among them, the most conspicuous of them all is the Kick target.
「That’s it then」
「Yes, that is the order I received from Nord-sama, Kick target」
It has such a strong presence since it was modeled after a soccer goal.
As to be expected it’s difficult if it’s too big so we decided that we will make it so that the structure is 5 meters wide and 2 meters tall. It’s a soccer goal made for eight-player soccer or primary school students.
「As for the panel, they can be placed by inserting it from the side like this, it is designed so they will come off to the back after receiving impact from the ball」
Elman explained while inserting a panel with a number engraved on it from the side.
From what I could see, the act of inserting the panels is really smooth. If it were children, then they won’t be able to place the slightly higher panels but adults most adults will be able to do it.
Even looking at it from a distance, it doesn’t look out of place, whether the shape of the goal, the panel's position, or the numbers engraved on it.
「Ooh, that’s nice. I want to try it for a bit, do you have a ball?」
「Sure, we have」
When I asked him that, Elman brought a ball from behind the goal.
How polite of him, handing it over personally with his hands instead of just rolling the ball toward me.
「……this ball, it looks like it’s been used a lot」
「I’m sorry, we were playing it while making the thing」
Elman looks embarrassed when I said that while staring at the ball. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
From the looks of it, it looks like the Kick target was interesting for them. That’s very heartwarming.
Now then, time to do an experiment then. I use Psychic on the ball in front of me.
「Huh? You’re not going to kick it?」
「Rather than playing with it, I’m going to test its performance this time. And it is more accurate to shoot like this」
It’d be great if I have the motor skill like Eleonora-neesan, but unfortunately, I don’t.
And so I will test it with my magic, which I’m good at and also efficient.
After the ball - which had become under my control with my mana - rose, it flew toward the top left panel.
And then, the panel made a dry sound as it got hit by the ball, and the panel fell off to the back.
「Ooh, the ball passes without problem」
「I’ll get the ball for you」
「No it’s fine, I can retrieve it with magic」
Stopping Elman who was about to move and get the ball, I use Psychic to pull the ball toward me.
「……magic is really convenient, huh?」
「Right?」
Magic enriches your life. It’s a little difficult to come to the point of being able to freely control stuff like this, but the good thing about magic is that it provides values that correspond to the amount you work hard on it.
Thanks to mastering this magic, I don’t need to go out of my way to take things far from me. And, it will not only be for now, but I will be able to do this for the rest of my life. If you think like that, then all the hardship you faced will be fully rewarded.
I shoot the ball with Psychic and continue to hit the panels one after the other.
After knocking all the panels, I put all the panels back again.
And this time, I experimented under all sorts of conditions, like shifting the place where the ball hit the panel or changing the speed of the flying ball.
All of them had any problem, even if it hit the center or slightly off, each shot was able to pass through without problems. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
I tried to repeatedly hit the boundary between the panels, deliberately hitting the crossbar midway, but there was no absurd way for the panels to come off.
「Un, I tried various things, but there were no problems with the Kick target and Throwing Target」
I also tried various tests at the same time on the Putching target next to the Kick target and there were no problems with it.
「……thank you very much. I will just have to make two more just as Nord-sama asked. But it’s a foul for Alfried-sama to participate in both target games 」
「Err, I was just using magic to experiment on things just now, I will basically not use magic when I play them」
Just that, if the opponent were to use a dirty trick, or if I have a reason not to lose, then it’s a different story.
「Anyhow, I thank you for coming up with such fun entertainment for the Harvest Festival. The Harvest Festival will become more exciting compared to the usual Festival we hold each year. Our hard work paid off, even though we worked on them during our busy times」
Oh? From the way he said that, it feels like Elman was thinking that the orders are completed, but there is the main reason which is the slime scoop frames though.
In my previous life I was treated horribly by an ‘A******’ boss, so should I subtly give him high praises while subtly making the request to him then?
「No, thank you as well. Since Elman is here I and the lord - Nord-tousan - can entrust the job to you with peace of mind」
「Ehehehe, is that so? Thank you very much」
「Please keep up the good work and support Koryatt village. Next, we are ordering about a hundred small scoops for fish scooping」
「Yes! Please leave it to me!」
Ooh, Elman. You readily agreed just like me in the past.
It feels sad since it’s like I’m watching the me from the past, but I’m also happy that the request went smoothly.
A few seconds while I was having mixed feelings about it, Elman suddenly came to his senses, I guess he finally noticed it.
「……eh? An additional order of a hundred scoops for small fish scooping?」
Two more Kick targets and Throwing targets.
And a hundred scoops, do your best Elman. www.ihavesinnedtranslation.com
