Come to think of it, the slimes managed to learn staff techniques and spear techniques. When I remembered that, I cut a tree and dried it with alchemy. Using ‘Circle Saw’ and ‘Polish’, I created several rods that have been treated and padded spears. With this, I can begin the training for staff and spear techniques.
After that, I practiced with the slimes.
When practice ended, I had nothing left to do and was quite bored.
Being bored with nothing to do, I decided to take a look at my status board.
Oh? Looks like my Magic Power Recovery Rate UP levelled up from 1 to 3. Is it because I used a lot of magic power when I made the store? Moreover my Slave Magic, Alchemy, Wind Magic, and Electric Magic, all levelled up by 1 as well. It’s probably because I used it quite a lot. Speaking of which, Elia did say she wanted to see a doll I made. Should I make it now? But what should I make?
I then killed time by making an inoffensive doll out of quicklime, and then coloring it with the art materials I got from Sebasu-san.
But halfway through, I ended up a bit too caught up into it. And I almost kept going till it became dark. I immediately put a stop to what I’m doing before I lose track of time. Even under normal situations, I’m the type that easily forgets the time. All the more now that I’m here in a place where I can’t tell the time of day.
I quickly take the 30 sheets of water cloth and the doll. Then with ‘Warp’ I go back to the town.
Before going back to the lodging, I stop by Serge-san’s store, and drop off the 30 sheets of waterproof cloth I just finished.
When I got back to the lodging, I immediately went over to Elia’s room. Araune-san went out from inside and let me in.
“Welcome, Ryouma-san.” [Elia]
“It’s unusual for Ryouma-kun to come by himself to our room. Did something happen?” [Rheinhart]
“Nothing particularly big, but first there is something I want to talk regarding business. Today, I succeeded in making 30 sheets of water proof cloth, and have already delivered them to Serge’s store. I still have some more allowance, so the production rate will gradually increase from tomorrow onwards. As for how far I can go, I’ll have to test it.” [Ryouma]
“I see. That’s good. There doesn’t seem to be any problems with the production rate of the waterproof cloths. And the other thing you wanted to talk about?” [Rheinhart]
“That doll that Elia wanted to see. I finished making it while waiting for the cloths to dry.” [Ryouma]
“Really? Please show me!” [Elia]
As she said that, I took out several dolls from my ‘Item Box’.
“It’s this.” [Ryouma]
The thing I brought out had the difference between rock and wood, but it’s definitely the world famous woodcraft bear. I added my own touch to it though, and replaced the bear with the black bear from the Forest of Gana in order to pass it off as something of this world.
“Oh? It’s a black bear ornament. There’s this feeling that feels like it’s catching fish.” [Rheinbach]
Next, I brought out a few things I made on top of a pedestal I made while imaging the figure of a bottle cap. They were colored figurines of monsters like the cave bat, the cave mantis, and the small rat.
“Amazing… They’re small, but it’s as if they’re the real thing!” [Elia]
“Last is this. The best dolls I made.” [Ryouma]
