chapter 48

Today, we will be staying over at the information room and social studies lecture hall .

I will be intruding on the social studies lecture hall, basically the girls’ room .

stayover party~

And I was about to sleep .

But!

I have no futon .

……not just a futon, as someone used to that ultimate softness of Ketorami-san, it’s hard to sleep huddled up on the floor!

I can just set up the chemistry lab and take out mine, but there isn’t any for the other girls .

Okay, then let’s make them!

And so I once against did another MP interval run with 20 maid-san puppets for half an hour and somehow succeeded in making futons for all the girls .

The boys……they’re fine, mhm, endure for one night .

I’m already sleepy .

Okay, good night .

will they… .

“Oi Maito, can you make futons? ……aah, sorry, were you sleeping?”

But I was woken 10 minutes later .

yep, futon is a necessity

And so I continued with another half an hour of MP interval run and also made futons for the boys, this time I’m sleeping with everything done .

Aaaah, today really was tiring!

Good night!

sleep well~

Good morning .

When I woke up, there was no one other than Tsukimori-san in the room for some reason .

“Morning, you slept well, well, of course you did . ”

“What time is it!?”

“9 in the morning . ”

……uheh, way overslept .

“I brought breakfast so eat up, here . ”

Breakfast is rice with slightly salty vegetable soup .

This group is lacking seasoning as a whole .

Well, they would, they don’t have rooms where salt or soy sauce are kept .

But……meals made by others really are delicious, mogumogu .

nice to slack

Now then, today is a day for gathering food .

Specifically, Toriumi was able to process the copy of the hair band and made it into something else, so first, he used that to [Teleport] and bought seasoning and preserved foods from the capital . With Toriumi alone, you can’t see his hair or eye colour and if necessary he can [Teleport], so it is safe .

By the way, the seasoning and things he bought was more for the information room, news club group than us .

They have been living with the small amount of rock salt they managed to find and we couldn’t bear that . Sorry for having been eating meals with a proper taste .

And during that time, the other members went out to hunt, gathering meat, fruits and vegetables .

Somehow, it looks like the information room, news club group are bad at gathering foodstuff .

Seems they don’t know how to differentiate plants . This……is a feeling I don’t really understand .

Could there be some kind of chemistry club correction?

So we decided to stockpile a lot of food for the people going to explore 3F .

share appraisal?

And during that time, I am free, so I had the maid-san puppets hang onto Toriumi as he [teleported] to the capital and got them to gather sky-blue lilies while he was shopping .

I also asked him to retrieve Ketorami along the way . It would be bad if he didn’t have enough MP when coming back with the increased mass of the sky-blue lilies and Ketorami, so I made sure to give him some MP recovery tea .

The dyeing can be done after the clothes are made, so I first made plain clothes without dye, then will be [dyeing] those .

Yes, even if it doesn’t reach the level of flying, unless I make clothes that can at least increase my air time, I am in trouble for the first round of the gladiator tournament .

can the puppets help?

After seeing everyone off, I spun and wove cloth by myself for the first time in a while . I’ve been leaving these to the maid-san puppets recently .

And to increase the surface area of the cloth as much as possible, I made something like a long-sleeved kimono .

……like, if I made the sleeves like those from Japanese clothes, you know . I can make the part that is to be tucked in longer to increase the surface area of the cloth . Furthermore, it also increases at the sleeves .

It’s also easy to wear over .

……and so I made a long-sleeved kimono, but won’t I be exposed as a foreigner if I wear this?

……okay, leaving that as a last resort, I also made a one-piece dress with a circular skirt and full sleeves .

If the surface area is enough with this, then I can just wear this .

how bout just multilayer clothes?

Since Toriumi has come back with the maid-san puppets and Ketorami, let’s start [Dyeing] .

First, I will try wearing the one-piece dress .

Now then, if I add embroidery, it will have [Hover] which lets me float, but without, it is [Flight] .

For now, I tried seeing how long it will last with [Flight] first .

can the embroidery be removed?

After asking Ketorami-san to be ready in case he is needed, I [teleported] into the sky .

……ah, it’s quite slow .

When I tried counting, it took about 10 seconds to land from 100m in the sky .

Hm, quite slow . It’s still sufficiently fast though . About 5m a second . Hm, I want a little more .

(T/N: I think author means acceleration, not velocity . Acceleration would be about 4 . 47 so close enough?)

Things were fine since Ketorami-san buffered my fall with [Wind Wall], but if I landed on my own, my ankle would……no, it would nice if I got away with just that . My thigh bone will definitely break . Mhm .

……ah, by the way, about Ketorami-san’s [Wind Wall] . He apparently learnt this relatively recently .

Seems like when he caught me was the first time he used it .

……I had been relieved because it was Ketorami-san, but it was actually quite dangerous that time .

sky diving is always dangerous

And so, next challenge is with the long-sleeved kimono without embroidery .

Air time, no change .

……seems like I slammed into the upper limit for increasing the effect with cloth surface area .

Damn it~, guess it doesn’t work .

But with this, I don’t need to wear the long-sleeved kimono, so that is relieving .

kind of wasted

Next is experimenting with the one-piece dress with embroidery .

After asking Ketorami-sensei again, [Teleport] .

……and this time, somehow, I could tell my body, not clothes, body tried to float .

Then I slowly floated down and landed after about 31 seconds . I could land this time without Ketorami-sensei’s help .

Hm, I can buy 31 seconds with this . I can sing it properly with 31 seconds . Okay, then this experiment is a success . Good good .

During the tournament, I can just wear the long underskirt under this or add embroidery to reinforce my MP .

preparations made~

And everyone came back with a large amount of food .

And so time for lunch .

Since there is so many people, lunch became barbecue-style again .

This time there is also a soy sauce with citrus fruits for the girls and a kind of sweet miso sauce .

The meat and vegetables are very abundant .

Ah, they found some kind of very long eggplant and very huge capsicum . Personally, I’m very happy to have eggplant .

Additionally, I am currently frying a bunch of potatoes, carrots and meat .

Then with the rice cooking in huge clay pots makes today’s lunch .

Mhm, it was well-received .

proper cooked food made by maid, of course

I don’t have enough hands even for just frying things with iron plates, so Tsukimori-san and a few other girls helped me .

Ah, I don’t really want to use maid-san puppets at these times .

Why do I have to expend MP while making lunch .

“Oh yeah Maito, you could share skills?”

Tsukimori-san had went out to gather foodstuffs, seems she heard it from someone then .

“Mhm . Although there seems to be various conditions so it’s not like I can share everything . ”

“I see, then, try everything . Here, I’ll do the meat so hurry up and try . ”

Saying that, Tsukimori-san held out her dog tag .

“……really?”

“It’s not like I lose anything right? Then I’ll share them with you . We got clothes and futons and the hair clips anyway . ”

Here, since she’s saying that, then without restraint .

“Then, then without restraint……[Duplicate] . ”

I knocked the dog tags together as I said that, but no response .

Wel, well, I didn’t think I could receive such a cheat skill . Mhm .

it’s okay… .

And as I tried everything, there was just 1 skill I could share .

It was a skill called [Compounder] . Seems to be a skill for making ink .

……what can I use it for . Ah, could I use it for dyes?

and eperiment

And so I plucked some random grass and tried [Dyeing] .

No particular change .

Is this a skill that overlaps with another skill?

For example, [Handiness] has an effect on just about every other skill . It increases the speed of [Sewing] or the precision of [Dissection] .

But it doesn’t particularly seem like this [Compounder] is that kind of skill .

Hm, then let’s try [Compounding] gress .

……hm? Something like a page of a book appeared in my mind .

It’s like that, like opening the [Alive Grimoire] .

Hmhm, then flip the page……uoh!? What’s this, it’s ridiculously difficult to flip the page!

It’s like the feeling of trying to open up those plastic bags from supermarkets with dry hands when they are stuck together .

After putting my back into it and flipping the page to read it, oh wow, it was a list of [What to compound with what to make something] .

Hou hou . This is useful .

…… . but for some reason, there are only things related to basic necessities .

The ink that Tsukimori-san maid is not listed anywhere .

“Hey~ hey~ Tsukimori-san~”

“What?”

“Did Tsukimori-san know how to make ink? Somehow, I only have how to make things related to basic necessities . ”

“Eh, it’s more like, I only know how to make ink and paper, or magic tools, those kind of things . ”

……then this should also be like [Puppet Manipulation], what you can do depends on the person’s profession or personality or something .

maid can only ever be a maid

In addition, the other girls also tried to share skills with me, but how could it be, the harvest is zero .

A shocking zero .

The boys that also heard about it also let me try with them, but it was also zero with them .

……sorry for being like this even with your cooperation .

wat… . . way too sad… . .

At the time when the sun is about to set, we split up .

We will be doing intensive training for the gladiator tournament while the information room, news club group will be exploring 3F .

“Bye, Maito, do your best . ”

“You too~”

“Thanks for the clothes~!”

“Thanks for the futons~!”

It became a farewell with me being thanked a lot for some reason . Mufufu, this feels good .

But……somehow, it was a restful 2 days, getting to finally meet with peaceful people .
