Kazura and Valetta arrived at the lumbering spot. At that place 10 villagers had already assembled.
The villagers were divided into people that were felling the tree and people who were manufacturing waterwheel parts, while working they were chatting with each other. After they saw Kazura’s and Valetta’s figure, they stopped their work and assembled.
「Good morning, Kazura-sama. You have returned from Isteria!」(Villager B)
「Yes, I returned during yesterday evening. I have obtained the nails, so with this we can perfectly make the waterwheel. How is the progress state of the work?」(Kazura)
Kazura inquired to the villager that came to address him, that villager then puffed his chest with pride.
「We do as what Kazura-sama had instructed before departing to Isteria. The waterwheel’s blade[17] and the rim frame board[18] had been completed. Since the lumber for material have been prepared beforehand, it looks like the other parts may be completed in 1 day.」(Villager B)
「Eh? Is that true? That’s very fast. 」 (Kazura)
Before Kazura departed to Isteria, he had drawn the blueprints of the necessary parts needed for the assembling of waterwheel on a large notebook. He entrusted it to the villagers that were tasked with waterwheel production after teaching them how to read the blueprint, however he never expected that the work would progress at such high pace.
The villagers that were tasked with waterwheel production during Kazura’s group absence numbered 10.
Though these 10 villagers were reputed to be excellent people, there was not enough wood to make the parts. That’s why it was necessary to cut the trees in the forest.
Because it was quite a hard task, Kazura thought that it would be good if by the time they came back, at least half of the work had been completed. But this current situation betrayed his expectations in a good way.
「This is all thanks to Kazura-sama. Though the tools that Kazura-sama bestowed to us were easy to use, after having rice and canned food as our meal, it became more difficult for us to get tired compared to before, even if we worked for a long period of time. Even if we get tired, with just a little rest we will get refreshed quickly. Furthermore, compared with our power before, we now can carry heavier object.」(Villager B)
「........ what did you say?」(Kazura)
To the villager that lightly smiled while saying unthinkable things, Kazura unconsciously asked him to repeat his explanation.
「Which reminds me, I also didn’t became tired at all recently. Even after walking that far yesterday, almost no tiredness remained this morning.」(Valetta)
Instead of the villager Kazura asked for a re-explanation, this time it was Valetta who started saying something unbelievable.
If he thought about this again, the only person who showed tiredness on their face on the journey to Isteria was Kazura.
Even if Myra showed a little tiredness en route, but she still a 6 years old so that’s expected.
However, even if she showed tiredness, after drinking one gulp of Lipo-D, she quickly regained her stamina back. On the journey home, compared to Kazura she was more energetic.
One way travel to Isteria took about 20 hours, the time for the rest or break had been deducted, and if this was converted into distance then they had walked for about 80 km.
If it was the adults, their body might be used to farming works. But if she drank the elixir equivalent Lipo-D, then it wouldn’t be strange for the 6 year old Myra to exhibit such stamina.
「(Is by any chance. Does this mean that the rice and the canned food also have the same effect as the Lipo-D? The fertilizer scattered fields were also strange, perhaps the things that were brought from Japan have some special effect on this world. Excepting me, that is.)」
