Good morning . Letās spend the day energetically . Today starts with making bentos in addition to breakfast . After pofu pofing myself with the feather duster, letās get started immediately . I crushed the potatoes I had steamed, added the starch I dried yesterday (itās only half-dried but it should be fine) and moulded it . Steam it and done . Now we have tuber cakes that are great for carrying around . I also garnished the skewers from yesterday with vegetables and surrounded it with thiān wooden pieces I had cut out with [Cleaning] . Then I secured it with the string made from spinning the acetate thread . Okay, the bento is complete . And after brewing [MP Recovery Tea] like yesterday, preparations are complete . Breakfast is meat and vegetable soup with tubers . Since Katori and Hariu were just too pitiful, I focused on warm food as much as I could . What do you mean you only ate fruits and raw meat . Raw meat . ā¦ā¦is raw meat good for body warmthā¦ā¦ errr By the way, it seems like they are using their school bags to carry things . Since everyone came by the chemistry lab before going off to do their own things, everyoneās bags were left in the chemistry lab . Of course they didnāt do something foolish like each person carrying their own bag . They are carrying all their food in one bag and brought another empty bag for stocking up on food . Hagasaki-kun or President seems to be the one usually carrying the bag . It would be bad if someone in the front lines couldnāt move because they were carrying the bag .
efficient
As everyone woke up, they had the routine turn with the feather duster . And then breakfast . āItās been so long since Iāve had breakfast . ā Was from Katori . ā¦ā¦itās really a good thing that we found these guys . And as usual have a nice trip . Now then, today is the day for the weaving I had been looking forward to, washoi!
yay
Making sure to not forget [Prayer Song], I also sang other songs to explore for other skills while laying out the warp on the loom . After wrapping the weft around the shuttle, preparations are complete . I had them make a loom that had four shafts so I can do a bunch of different weaves, but for now I will do a plain weave . I passed the shuttle through to prepare the reed, moved the warp and passed the shuttle through again . ā¦ā¦the fun part about this work . Haāah, it nice not to have to think . I can just relaxed and have fun singing while weaving .
ā¦ . menial
And I made a 110cm wide, 5m long cloth . Since itās acetate, itās not very durable but is fire resistant . That might be useful for something . I weaved it with the gaps as tight as possible, so well, it shouldnāt be that weak . Now then, since Iāve run out of fibers, Iāll be making lumber into fiber again . And then spin it and weave again! Fufufufufufu, then tomorrow is sewing . Fufufufufufu .
fast!
ā¦ā¦and I thought about it a little, but thereās no need to just keep making acetate right? I chose acetate because it is the simplest when making textile from cellulose, but isnāt rayon or cupro or lyocell fine? with alchemy anything is possible And so I will be making lyocell . Lyocell . Or tencel . A regenerated fiber similar to natural fibers made by purifying cellulose, squeezing it into thin strands and solidifying it . Its features is that it is stronger than cotton . It wonāt become weaker even when wet . It dries easily . Thatās it . Unlike acetate where you stick something onto cellulose and make it a different material, this fiber is something simple made just by melting and solidifying cellulose . But the name of the solvent is so longā¦ā¦ . I donāt remember it! Honestly, I donāt remember a lot of things but I understand the concept . Anyway, itās just cellulose arranged in a straight line . I managed to make acetate without acetic acid . Just changing the arrangement should be easy with otherworld qualities .
alchemy
And so I prayed towards the mountain of lumber . Please become lyocell . ā¦ā¦mhm . It became some kind of fiber but Iām not sure if this is lyocell or acetate, I canāt tell . Well, itās fine . It has been made anyway . After spinning it, lay it out on the loom and weave again! Once I wove it, it had a different texture from acetate, so it really was lyocell . Probably .
ā¦you weave too fast
And as I was doing that I missed the timing for lunch again . Rather than lunch, itās more of tea time . Dammit . While chewing on fruits, I ate the leftovers from the bentos . ā¦ā¦I donāt think the taste is that bad . A success I guess . The taste of the MP recovery tea isā¦ā¦well, itās bad, but you can recover MP with this, so I canāt complain . Disgusting, one more cup, that kind of thing . Mhm, this canāt be overlooked . It really isā¦ā¦
that bad?
In the afternoon, I sewed small bags using the cloth I weaved, these can be hung on a belt . I simply thought that it would be better for them to be able to at least be able to carry their own MP recovery tea . And then I sewed clothes other than a maid uniform for myself . Itās sad that I have no pattern paper, so right now I can only sew a simple one piece dress . I might also be able to do patterning with a skill, but considering energy, stamina and time, I gave up on that . I will work on that at some pointā¦ā¦ By the way, skills also worked for sewing . Itās a skill that just makes sewing faster, but Iām grateful for itās simplicity . Iām happy that Iāve been getting a lot of skills recently . Itās all related to sewing though . Itās all related to sewing though . Itās all related to sewing though!
got it
As I was preparing dinner, everyone came back earlier than usual . āWelcome back . What happened, masters?ā āWe found, this . You have to do a lot before it can be eaten, so we came back first . ā ā¦ā¦I see . As for why, itās because they found it . Wheat . Wheat . Whe, at .
no more potatoes!
I had Katori and Hariu quickly build a primitive thresher and we all worked on threshing the wheat . I thought it would become a skill as we silently worked, but for some reason it didnāt . ā¦ā¦is it that, this is not a maidās job? Incomprehensible . I got mad so I used [Cleaning} and the grains were polished . In an instant, they were polished . I see, what I can already do wonāt become a skill? Nnā? ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ . . What was all that effort just now for, bathed in everyoneās wordless gazes, I steamed the wheat grains . After steaming, I squeezed it between wooden boards, had Katori and Hagasaki-kun dry it with wind magic and rolled grains are done . I would need a mortar to grind it and wanted something that could serve as a staple for the time being, so itās rolled grains for now . Also, I soaked part of the grains along with the husks in water . I could plant it, I could make wort after they sprout, or I could crush it into starch and make starch syrup . Hmmm, my dreams are spreading . Grains banzai!
bette than potatoes
Since we finally got grains, todayās meal will be boiled cereal . I thought it wouldnāt be that nice since itās 100% wheat, but it was quite tasty . It was also well received with everyone . It should be because of that, we were sick of tubers .
definitely
And following the early dinner, I thought we would be sleeping earlier, but we ended up having a meeting . āFirst of all, everyone, show your dog tags . Since Hariu and Katori joined in, we need to understand what each person can do . ā It is as Suzumoto said . Lately, Iāve been feeling like Iāve been left behind! Come on, time to make sure that everyone is on the same page . So everyone took off their dog tags and showed it to each other . Summarising it, it is something like this . tragic maid? Suzumoto [Swordsman] [Decapitate] [One-Handed Sword Skill] [Leap] [Acrobatics] [Sword Dance] [Poison resistance] [Increased Recovery Speed] [Shippuuzan] [Tsubame] [Kawasemi] [Ageha] (T/N: leaving the reading in japanese because wouldnāt make sense in english except for first one, but basically [Hurricane Slash] [Swallow] [Kingfisher] [Swallowtail Butterfly], those fancy sword techniques) very all the flying stuff
Hagasaki [Magician] [Water Magic] [Ice Magic] [Wind Magic] [Increased Invocation Speed] [Poison Resistance] [Ice Bullet] [Ice Coffin] [Water Cutter] [Clear Stream] [Wind Cutter] [Tempest] perfect tsundere magic Shachi [Scholar] [Appraisal] [Earth Magic] [Mapping] [Construction Magic] [Emergency Evasion] [Poison Synthesis] [Poison Resistance] [Earth Wall] [Earth Bullet] [Cultivation] [Bog] ā¦ . seems veryā¦ . annoying Kadomi [Knight] [Sword Skill] [Bravery] [Decapitation] [Shield Skill] [Hunger Resistance] [Poison Resistance] [Clean Hit] [Shield Guard] [Air Slash] [Force Blade] may the force be with you Katori [Sniper] [Archery] [Snipe] [Wind Magic] [Mechanical Construction] [Remodel] [Poison Resistance] [Needle Shot] [Wind Arrow] [Clear Breeze] [Wind Cutter] breeze? Hariu [Thief] [Dagger Skill] [Dual Wield] [Discerning Eye] [Carpentry] [Acrobatics] [Poison Resistance] [Cross Cutter] [Double Slice] [Hayabusa] (T/N: [Falcon]) whereās steal? Maito [Maid] [Cleaning] [Ripen] [Ballad] [Treatment] [Increased Recovery Speed] [Watering] [Clothes Manufacturing] [Prayer Song] [Clothes Manufacturing] =Textile Alchemy + Thread Spinning + Weaving + Sewing unique Hmmm, mhm . That . Iām the only one out of place . Why am I such a maid . Everyone looked at me with indescribable expressions . Sorry for being a maid . nothing to say For now thereās a few things I understood . First is that everyone excluding me has [Poison Resistance] . Suzumoto, Hagasaki-kun, President and Kadomi-kun are probably because they drank poison that President made . But Katori and Hariuā¦ā¦ah, I see . Food poisoning resistance, poison resistance for short . I see . Furthermore, even if gotten through different means, the effects of skills do not change . poison resistance? Thereās a need for me to get [Poison Resistance] urgently . If not, it wouldnāt be funny if we all ate the same thing and I end up being the only one with food poisoning . I will become even more of a burden! Okay, letās get some poison from President later . ā¦ . stop with the selfharm Second is that there really is a difference in skills . No matter how you think about it, my skills are strange . Why is it all magic this closely related to daily life . Wouldnāt it be better for me to learn at least one combat skill too? Letās try swinging around the kitchen knife later . not gonna work Third is Suzumoto got [Increased Recovery Speed] . Eeeh, thereās examples like the food poisoning resistance type of poison resistance so I canāt say for sure, but could it be, he alsoā¦ā¦did it? Iāll try asking him later . No, actually letās not . It will just bring unnecessary trouble . I donāt want any more unnecessary trouble .
like the herb gathering?
āMaito, when did your skills increase?ā Hagasaki-kun said it with the nuance of [praising a bad student that got 60 marks] . Damn iāt! āI told you before, itās when you guys arenāt around! You can probably imagine how I got them though . ā āMhm, well, sure . ā Dammit, this bastard, just because your skills are wonderful! Making fun of meeeee! sad maid āBy the way, when looking at it like this, those displayed below the skills should be [Techniques] . ā Techniques . Spells . Special Skills . Something like that . My [Prayer Song] falls under that . I only have one so I didnāt know, but apparently you can gain more depending on the [Skill] . For example, Hagasaki-kunās is easy to understand . [Ice Bullet] and [Ice Coffin] are both gained from [Ice Magic] . Suzumotoās [Kawasemi] is exactly as it says, like a kingfisher, descend from a high altitude and while cutting through the enemy, land lightly, a terrifying technique that was apparently gained from [Leap], [Acrobatics] and [One-Handed Sword Skill] . Meaning thereās some that you get from mulitple skills . So if I keep singing I might be able to learn something . maybe? And my [Clothes Manufacturing] . This is not seen among the others . For some reason, itās simplified . Seems like if you obtain similar skills and they can be put together, it simplifies itself . It certainly is a series of actions, so itās not a problem butā¦ā¦ I donāt like that it looks like there is less skills .
ā¦ā¦no point competing on that point
After that we each told each other about the effects of skills or techniques that wasnāt clear just be looking at the name . And we distributed roles . First, it might be obvious, but Suzumoto and Kadomi-kun are the vanguard . Kadomi-kun who can use a shield will hold them back, Suzumoto will make sure the enemy doesnāt go to the back while they defeat the enemy . Hariu is the stopgap . If there are too many enemies for Kadomi-kun, he will draw away a few . If some get through Suzumoto, he will do something about them . That kind of thing . Hagasaki-kun, President and Katori are the rear guard . President will make a wall and hiding behind it, they will attack with their magic or bow . Additionally, Hagasaki-kun and Katori kun also serve as healers . [Clear Stream] and [Clear Breeze] are healing skills with similar effects . And Iām house-sitting . Yes, no matter what anyone says Iām house-sitting . I canāt even complain so I will stay quiet but . I will stay quiet butā¦ā¦it really is sad . Mhm . Canāt be helped . I can only do what I can do .
end
Hecate had to look up stuff to find the weaving terms .
To put how ridiculous the [Weaving] skill is into perspective, to make cloth of that size by hand would take a skilled weaver about 3-4 days, and she made 2 in a single morning .
Basically this at about 30x the speed . While singing .
