I went around dumping drop items into the dimensional storage . And now time to help fetching the girls' shares .
Tereretettette~♪ Fighter, Samurai, Genin leveled up . Tettere~♪ Fighter reached max level . Tettere~♪ Fourth Class liberated . Tettere~♪ Katana Art leveled up . Tettere~♪ Learned a new Weapon Skill . Tereretettette~♪ Kagura leveled up . Tereretettette~♪ Futsuno leveled up . Tereretettette~♪ Mitama leveled up . Trerete~te~tentettere♪ Tama-chan leveled up .
Funua!? Fighter hit a level cap!? It's currently level 30 . Do I just not have the aptitude or do I need to do something to break the limit . I'll ask everyone about it during dinner . Even with the Fourth Class liberation, this level cap hurt . . . As for weapon skill . . . Eeeeh . Can I even use this?
For now let's set my main class as Samurai, then Fist Fighter, Monk and Otherworlder . Since I got weapon skills from it and all, surely I have the aptitude for the class . I do, right? I'll keep changing up second and third, trying out other classes . It's a beehive plan of collecting half-baked guns . The last one is for raising my maximum mana . Might as well aim high now that it's gotten this far .
I got Class Skills from Samurai and Genin . They're pretty good stuff methink .
『Mind's Eye』 Enhance concentration in extreme situations, enabling one to see all incoming blades and projectiles .
『Seclusion』 Erase presence to make it harder getting detected . Gives bonus improvements to tracking, stealth and disguise skills .
<TLN: If you're reading this novel at any other site than Sousetsuka . com you might be reading an unedited, uncorrected version of the novel . >
And for weapon skill, I got myself some really problematic one .
Weapon Skill 『Vibration Blade - Silver Light』 Weapon skill said to have been coined by Gouemon, a member of a legendary group of thief from time long gone . Turn blade into a silvery slash that cuts target apart . Being a skill of a thief, it raises item drop rate for reason unknown .
. . .
. . . . .
Wonder if this is from the 'cut something worthless' man, or the man in kabuki clothing . Anyway, it's a weapon skill employed by a criminal, is that alright?? It sounds soo usable too, would be a waste to not use it in public . There's already a precedent with 『Vibration Blade - Destruction』, so this is confounding . . .
" . . . Nobu! You okay?"
"Nobu-kun, didcha hurt yourself anywhere!?"
"Milord, please do not push yourself too hard!"
Poyon! Poyon!
Ah, they thought I was hurt since I fell silent thinking about my weapon skills .
"Aa, I'm fine . I just hurt myself a bit due to too much enthusiasm . Since we're all drenched and all now, let's just hurry and set up camp . I saw something like a cave over there, let's use it . "
"Fumu, that is fine . Milord, tonight will be a sermon time for you to reflect on your recklessness . "
The girls nodded at Kagura-san's word . Huh? No one's on my side . Tohohon .
Afterward, everyone hurriedly gathered the soul stones from the frogs they beat . I put Space Camouflage to smoothen the process cuz I don't wanna anymore fight in this state!
We arrived at a bona fide cave . Length until a dead end is about 30 meters . As a precaution to the possibility of enemy spawning, I put up stone walls around the entrance to segregate kitchen, living room and bathroom . Of course each has a gap to let one person pass . The me right now can't create doors unfortunately, but I will make it happen someday . My aim, instant single-family house!
And that me is currently at my wits' end dealing with rice grain .
The dropped one was unexpectedly in husked state . Not that it's a bad thing in itself, what's bad is me who didn't anticipate Mitama wanting to eat it tonight . She made that face when I told her that the rice needed to be cleaned up after getting milled .
" . . . Can't I?"
Her ears and tail flopped down . I will not stand to see Mitama looking so dejected . And thus here I am now after telling her that it can be done with some time . At first I planned to ask a craftsman to make a large-scale rice milling machine based on one exhibited in a cultural historical museum I saw in my primary school days, but it seems I can't afford that now .
Which means, I just got to do something with my surplus mana . I'm using wind magic . I'll try a super low powered version of Wind Storm . The image is that of a rice mill . First, I need to separate the husks . Of course, I'll pick up the fallen husks to be used as fertilizer . I've already collected the rice mould . Gonna experiments with stuff later .
Shuon, shuin shuin shuin
First I'll test out with about 10 grains to prevent it getting blown off . U, mu, this requires quite some mad concentration power . Mix of rice bran and rice husks make for good fertilizer . Rice bran pickle? That's granny's favorite, we're good for now .
"Nobu-kun . I'm gonna take a bath ahead . "
"Ah, yes . "
PAAAAAAAN
Earghh! It pop off, the rice pop and got blown off . Eye, my eyeeeeeeeeeee .
The bursting rice assaulted me . This is the result of losing focus for a bit . Umu, guess it's spinning too fast . Gotta make it slower, calmer . . . yeah . I'm groping in the dark while hoping to grasp the knack asap .
One hour of trials and errors later . Just as Futsuno-san was done with the bath and Mitama got in, I completed it .
I did it! I made it! This is it, magic revolution!!
Rice milling magic 『Rice Miller』 and rice cleaning magic 『Rice Branner』! No naming sense you say? Yeah I know . It only takes 30 minutes to turn a whole sack into white rice . The mana poured into it reaches surprising 30,000!! What a wasteful amount . If people from Mage Guild were to hear this, they would fall down in shock for sure . Well, it's a prototype magic after all, I plan to keep revising it .
And! I also have this!! It's finally time for introduction . I went to Boss-san place to order it right after I ate paella at Donur-san's inn, and now it's time for it to shine .
Behold! This lustrous black lump of iron! The great iron pot-chan is here to stay!!
The wood lid is my creation, yes . I dump rice and water inside and then let it to soak in for 30 minutes .
Thud, thud, I took out and set up a simple stove, [Magic Soul Stove] along with two Soul Stones . I believe it's the most widespread magic tool for cooking there is . The best item to get for housewives and your house adventurers . And what's more, this 『Magic Soul Stove』 goes for only 980 mani!! Buy it now and get a set of 10 Soul Stones free . Grab your phone now! And please make sure to not call the wrong number in the middle of the night .
Whoops, 30 minutes have passed while I'm playing midnight tv shopping channel .
Well then, let's ignite the 『Magic Soul Stove』 .
And now for the side dishes . That said I've decided on our side dishes already, no preparation needed . Our menu today is grilled meat . The charcoal grilled one complete with earthen brazier and wire mesh . I can never forget the taste of cooked white rice wrapped in grilled meat . I still don't have soy sauce, but I've made my special flavoring made from a mix of salt and meat soup from stuff I've made so far . I'll be sure to make soy sauce and miso eventually .
Okay, what to do now that I'm done preparing . Ah, yeah I need to do additional testing with dimensional storage . Time delay, stop, and acceleration, need those, urgently . Done right, I could show off my specialty like fermentations and stuff .
After repeatedly creating and disposing those spaces, I managed to create an additional space and slightly increased the capacity . Let's do some experiments on that new one . The opposite of delay . Like, aging . . . I fetched a flask (made of stone with a cork) with peach juice inside, then apple, and grape . Then I put the three in the experimental space . One year would have elapsed inside in one hour outside if it's a success . Let's see how it goes . I'm really looking forward to it .
Ooh, the pot is looking good .
Bubbling on and on . I ain't gonna stop hitting even with those tears . I mean, don't take off the lid even if the baby cries . <TLN: Apparently an old idiom about cooking rice?>
It's turning out into splendid silvery white rice!!
