Chapter 308


(308) To Mount Landau


Translator: Tseirp


“As such, it would be perfect to make weapons in My World . Are you able to mine metals such as Orichalcum or Adamantite?”


In the men’s hot spring . I asked Pionia as she gave me a back massage saying that it was to replenish magical power .


I thought of creating a new mine just like how we made the silver mine .


“Unfortunately, the rarest metal that can be mined in a mine created using the World Creation Book is only gold ores . ”


“I see — In that case, I guess I have to obtain it from outside My World . ”


“If it’s Hihiirokane you seek, I have it desu!”


Sheena No . 3 announced all of a sudden .


” — This is a male bath . Before that, as an Automata, will you be all right with entering a bath —”


I asked if she was fine but I had previously made her do salvaging activities on the seafloor so I guess her waterproofing was flawless .


So I decided to change the question .


“I know that you will be fine but do you even need to enter the bath?”


“Sheena No . 3 is a self-cleansing model so there is no need desu!”


She stated it plainly . Also, she was probably using the self-cleansing term wrongly . (TL: The term here is used more toward self-purification etc)


“Sheena No . 3, do you actually possess Hihiirokane? Hihiirokane should be a metal that is even more precious than Mithril .


Pionia asked .


“Yes desu! I do desu!”


“Really? In that case, please hand it over . ”


“Here desu!”


I unexpectedly got my hands on a legendary metal .


That’s lucky .


“Since they are built into Sheena No . 3’s parts, first disassemble —”


“So it is a part of you! There’s no way I’ll do that!”


Since she was already malfunctioning conspicuously, I obviously can’t cause her to become an even bigger piece of junk .


Well, even if she is a piece of junk, she is still an Automata (Ultra-High Performance Machine Doll) made by Miri . It wouldn’t be strange that she has one or two valuable parts .


… Now that I think about it .


“Hey, Sheena . You seem to possess some strange knowledge . ”


“How rude to say that desu! Sheena No . 3’s memory function has been input with all the information from how to make delicious tofu to how to make delicious natto desu . ”


“Doesn’t that mean you’re filled with only knowledge on soybeans? You’ve never been a soybean lover from the beginning either . ”


Is she actually working all right?


“Do you have any knowledge of where valuable metals can be mined?”


“No desu . ”


“I’m disappointed with myself for expecting anything . ”


I guess it isn’t so easy in reality .


“In Sheena No . 3’s database, the valuable metals in the southern continent was mined by the arrogant Demon Lord and have been taken to the Demon Lord Castle except for a portion of it desu . ”


“What about that portion?”


“There are records that an adult dragon stole the Adamantite 500 years ago desu . ”


There’s no use talking about such old stories now .


Nevertheless, I guess dragons really love shiny objects .


Stealing gems, stealing metals . The difference would be ancient and adult dragon though .


… Hn?


I don’t know the lifespan of dragons but I imagine they live quite long?


Leviathan, that was sealed for hundreds of years, was still so lively after all .


If it was called an adult dragon 500 years ago, would it be called an ancient dragon now?


“Hey, Sheena . Do you know where does that dragon live?”


“I know desu! Mount Fujyaku . ”


It’s completely different!


Oh well, I guess there won’t be such coincidences .


There’s no way the dragon that snatched the Adamantite would coincidentally be the same dragon that took the Job Snatching Gem —


“Mount Fujyaku — is now called Mount Landau . ”


“There actually are such coincidences!”


All right, now there’s a chance!


There’s a chance to obtain both at once — the Job Snatching Gem and Adamantite .


※※※


Next morning .


After recovering the MP that Pionia sucked from me, I left the room and exited the country with Haru and Carol .


We’ll probably return soon so I didn’t exchange the Goats bill for coins .


“It’s been a long time since I felt this . ”


Fuyun pulled the carriage, Haru sat at the driver seat holding the reins while Carol and I worked our side jobs in the carriage .


I used a hammer to convert sterling silver into silverwork to level up my blacksmithing job .


Carol was crushing the dried medicinal grass using a mortar and pestle .


She didn’t have any Herbalist recipes so she couldn’t compound managrass but the action of grinding medicinal grass could give slight amounts of experience points for Herbalist .


Normally it would take 3 days of 12 hours work to reach level 2 but Carol received【Acquired Experience x4】 and 【Required Experience 1/4】, lesser versions of my blessings so she could grow at 16 times the speed of a regular person .


As a result, after just 2 hours of work —


“Ichino-sama, my Herbalist level went up . I acquired the Compounding skill and Beginner Potion recipes . ”


Carol announced . Just as she said, Carol’s job had changed to 【Herbalist: Lv2】 .


“Congrats Carol . ”


“Congratulations Carol . ”


Haru and I congratulated Carol .


All right, I should level up my Blacksmith too .


I raised the hammer to the silver ring — when .


The carriage stopped .


“It is break time?”


“Monsters are approaching . ”


“Monsters?”


I didn’t catch anything with my Presence Detection … ah, I see . This is downwind .


In that case, she probably caught the scent of monsters .


“Can you tell their numbers?”


“There are at least 5, if not about 10 . The beast-type monsters are heading straight in this direction . They are quite fast . We probably won’t be able to escape them using the carriage . ”


“No, there’s no need to . The chickens and Sugyu in My World have not increased enough for consumption yet . Let’s capture the beasts here and make it a souvenir for everyone . ”


I actually wanted to buy meat in Goats Rocky but they were still facing a shortage of meat due to the effects of the Sugyu Disease and I would stand out if I purchase close to 50 people’s worth of meat alone .


I jumped off the carriage and saw the shadows of the monsters .


“That is — a herd of pigs?”


Seven Pigs two times the size of those I was familiar with were running toward us .


Two fangs not seen in ordinary pigs stood out . Ordinary people won’t stand a chance against them if they were bitten with those fangs .


“They are Flock Boars . They are dangerous monsters that rampage in a group and is a monster recommended for subjugation . If you bring the fangs to the Adventurers Guild, you would get a small amount of reward . Their meat is delicious . ”


“Can they be domesticated?”


“Flock Boars are said to be unfit for domestication using regular methods . It might be possible with the abilities of a Monster-user but it would be impossible for the Dark Elves . ”


Recommended for subjugation, can’t be domesticated and yet their meat is delicious .


That’s nothing but a hassle .


The Flock Boars split into two as I was thinking .


“Haru, I leave the left side 3 to you . Carol, support Haru! Also, Haru, if you are able to, please avoid using attribute attacks with the Fire Dragon Fang . ”


We got our hands on rare fresh meat . It would be a waste to burn it .


“Understood . ”


“Please leave it to us . ”


Even though giant boars were heading this way, Fuyun was gracefully standing on the spot . I guess I don’t have to worry that it will flee in panic .


“All right, I guess I’ll go too —”


I ran toward the four boars on the right side .


My Slash won’t reach from this distance . Tornado Slash would shred the Flock Boars . In that case, I’ll start with magic .


“Petite Wind . ”


The wind blade that was generated from my hand beheaded one of the approaching Flock Boars .


Angered by the murder of their companion, the Flock Boars raised their speed and snorted as they charged toward me . They didn’t look like they will flee . They seem to be reckless in nature .


That’s good for me .


I didn’t expect to down one with Petite Wind . Since I was working on Blacksmith just now, my current jobs were physical occupations including Blacksmith . Was it because of Magic Strengthening (Emperor)?


Haru probably won’t lag behind if they are only at this level . In that case, I don’t have to rush .


Maybe I can test out my skills a little .


I took out three copper coins from my item bag .


Then, I shot those copper coins using a flick of my finger .


Coin toss — a skill that literally uses throwing money as a weapon .


I thought that it would be convenient when I don’t have a bow and arrow .


” … Eh?”


It flew several times faster than a stone thrown with the throwing skill and it traveled in a straight line as though an arrow released from a bow —


” … Geh . ”


The Flock Boars became pieces of meat .


I intended to defeat them with minimal injuries to their body but they encountered a nasty end .


I guess we won’t be eating those three .


【Ichinojo leveled up】


… Hn?


It seemed that Haru and Carol finished their side as well .


Unlike the torn up pieces of meat on my side, they beautifully defeated the Flock Boars .


【Samurai General skill: 「Katana Equip」has skilled up to「Katana Equip II」】


【Samurai skill: 「Cross Slash」acquired】


【Alchemist skill: 「Alchemy Initialization」acquired】


【There are no further levels for Alchemist】


【Title: Peak of Alchemist acquired】


【Job: Advanced Alchemist is now available】


【Recipes acquired】


Ou, my level went up .


I did not learn any Blacksmith skills but I seem to have more recipes now .


And Alchemist recipes too .


“Recipe open . ”


I checked the added recipes .


… What a coincidence .


Blacksmith and Alchemist recipes for rare metals were added .


It was for Hihiirokane and Adamantite .


Also, when I reached the peak of Alchemist, I gained the ability to smelt Mithril but I did not get any recipes to create equipment from Mithril .


As expected, working with Mithril was tricky .


Although in games, Hihiirokane and Adamantite were more precious compared to Mithril .


For now, I applied Clean on the minced up Flock Boars .


“Haru, please wait a bit . ”


I said and opened the door to My World to bring Desert Runner over .


And let Desert Runner eat the minced meat .


Even with its large appetite, consuming three entire boars was impossible so I left the remaining as feed for it .


And then, I sent the remaining boar with its head cleanly taken off as well as the three defeated by Haru and Carol to My World without dismantling them .


I’ll let Rarael and the other dismantle it on the other side . Rarael had raised her level as Hunter so she should have the dismantling skill .


It should be fine leaving it to them .


” — Master, wonderfully done . I never knew it was possible to defeat Flock Boars with a single copper coin . I must work harder . ”


” … . . ”


Haru praised me exaggeratedly as usual but Carol complexion wasn’t good .


I could tell the reason why .


“Sorry, Carol . Are you angry because I used copper coins as weapons?”


As a Peddler, Carol would not praise me for using coins as weapon — that was what I thought .


“Sorry . I am not angry . Using an arrow would incur the same cost as well . The used coin can be used after collecting it so it is the same .


… You plan to use it?


I have a feeling it would have been bent and useless after that impact .


“Then, what’s wrong?”


“My Herbalist level went up … it’s level 5 now . ”


“Congratulations, Carol . ”


“Ah … so it’s because of that . ”


Haru gave her honest congratulations .


But I understood what Carol was saying .


… Yup, it’s tough .


She spent over 2 hours slowly grinding medicinal grass to finally level up once but just defeating Flock Boars raised her level by three times . It’s tough to think of leveling up diligently that way .


” … Well, life is like that . There are people who work ordinarily and earn 2000 sense and there are people who defeat a monster and earn 10000 sense in reward . That said, you don’t believe the people who work ordinarily are stupid, right?”


“It’s as Ichino-sama said … sorry . I ended up thinking there was no need to put in diligent work . ”


“Yup, well, I thought of it many times as well but doing so will reduce the risk of getting injured from battles, right?”


I once told myself that and diligently raised my Alchemist job . But in the end, I collapsed due to magical power depletion though .


“That’s right … Thank you . ”


Carol once again convinced herself of my words .


Yeah, no action is useless in this world .


As we came to that conclusion, Haru said to me with a sorry tone .


“Master . My second job Swordsman reached the peak but I forgot to have the job changed . ”


… Ah, that’s a waste of experience points .
