Chapter 24: 24 \nRemove the broken deer meat as soon as you eat it today, and divide the rest between drying it and salting it. Itâs the workplace again to dry. Rike helped me with the drying.\n
âWhen I first came in here, I wondered why the meat was dried, so hereâs what you said.â
âOne of these days Iâll even make it in the reservoir, and Iâd like to dry it over there,â
I also want a charcoal hut or a smoked hut if I can. Me, Iâll hide in a charcoal hut if it mattersâŚ
It was noon while I was doing that, so I spilled venison steak and âShimakoâ into the wheat porridge for lunch. Seasoning is salt only but delicious enough. We talked about the dimensions of the taste of Wye and Venison and the taste of pork.
It is a blacksmith job after lunch. The mould is made yesterday, so if you flow iron, you can shape it. When I magically put fire in the furnace, Rike said.
âWith that said, parents can use magic, canât they? I used it for lunch earlier.â
âOh. Itâs just the easy oneâ
âItâs awesome to be able to do a blacksmith or something. Eizo has a family name.â
Suddenly Thermia interrupts and boasts. No, is that what you brag about, this?
âOh, really?
âAh, oh. I donât know whoâs listening in the city and where itâs going to go. Iâm sorry, I just named him.â
âYou were. You will not be apologized for. Rather, I was convinced.â
Thermia looks doomed next to Lique. All right, all right.\n
âWhat did you say your family name was?
âItâs Tanya.
âTanya. Then Iâm Rike Tanya.â
âWhy?â It does!
Thermia in the second half.
ââCause what my parentâs family name says Tanya, this is Tanya Workshop. In Dwarf custom, I would name the workshop name, not the family name, so I was apprenticed to say Lique Tanya.â
When they say that, the muscles seem to be through. ButâŚ
âThatâs why. When you really need it, you have to decide that the name of the workshop is Eizou.â
âOkay. So, Like Eizou.â
Hmm, thereâs something embarrassing about a girl naming herself, even though itâs customary. Thatâs what you think.
âsloppy!â
Suddenly, Thermia said so.
âAtashi will have the same name! \nâYepâŚâ
What are you talking about, this girl?
âCan Atashi also be named Samya Tanya or Samya Eizou!?
âHmm.â
Rike canât help but say that as a Dwarf custom, he names his workshop name like a family name, but Thermia has never told me that he has a habit of saying that to the BeastmanâŚ
But thereâs no reason to say no here either. Thermia is family. In the first place, I was the one who told you not to live.
âWell, thatâs good.â
âYay!
With my permission, Thermia would have done it.
While doing so, the furnace temperature has risen, so add the iron stone âTatsuyaâ (iron ore) and dissolve the iron. We have time until it melts, so in the meantime we start putting fire in those on the fire floor as well. When fire enters both, it gets pretty hot inside the workplace. Sweating and securing water for drinks are indispensable, not just on the second day, but almost every day I go around here to get water.
The iron melted, so I flush it into the mold. Thermia did mine better, but Rike flushed Rikeâs. When it is finished flushing, the furnace will drop the fire, and the sheet metal will be added to the fire floor to heat it. Iâm not doing it now, but in time, when someone orders it individually, I want to do a foldback workout or something.
Today the knife was also meant to be a âluxury modelâ⌠but because of this, do you want to make something serious? The process itself remains the same. Focus far more than usual, tap carefully, and simmer to identify critical temperatures, and grind nerves to the feel of your fingertips.
Thatâs the real âbespoke model.â
\nâRight. Donât ask me when youâre free.â
âWhoa!â
And then Iâll take over. Unlike knives, this one is cast iron, but beats iron to homogenize and high quality while shaping it in the same way. This one is also a âluxury modelâ, so I worked more carefully with the âgeneral modelâ.
âOh, this is the same thing you saw back thenâ
When I showed it to Rike, I returned the sentiment to say this.
âRight. Qualitatively it should be the same as that one.â
âBut it didnât look like I was getting much moreâ
âOh, if you look at an axe or a knife, you know what I mean. Youâre right, not at all.â
When I answered that, Rike was staring at my hand. Silence flows through the workplace, and only the sound of saying the flaming goose of the fire floor echoes.
âWhat the hell is the parentâŚâŚ no. Now I know what Iâm after.â
