Chapter 12 (1/2)
Souvenirs
Before going back to the village I didn’t make the wolf pelts stand out.
I’ll be asked if I went to the town if I let the pelts be seen.
If I said I did then I’ll be asked what’s with these unprocessed wolf pelts.
I entered the area alone. If so then when I think about it, I should have become a Great Warrior now.
I don’t go about in public, but becoming a Moderate Warrior at my age honestly attract a lot of jealousy.
As I entered my grand tribe I went to my house.
I confirmed that n.o.body saw me, I hurriedly put my luggage into my house.
「Jumuka、you’re home」
The Patriarch spoke to me.
「Yes、I just returned。 」
「That so、you go to buy stuff at town？」
「Yes」
The Patriarch saw the pouches in my hands and the stuff I packed on the horse.
「You sold only the wool？」
He discovered the wolf pelt.
「N、No、umm、a boy from another tribe got attacked by wolves so I collaborated with him and killed the wolves。 」
「A boy？ You weren’t alone？」
「No、we joined forces。 」
「Is that so、that’s a shame, I don’t know how many was it、but if it’s you then you should be able to take care of all of them。 With that you’ll jump to Great Warrior right away」
The Patriarch heaved a regretful sigh.
「It is a shame。 」
I also spoke with a regretful voice.
The Patriarch went home right after that.
I led the horse into the fences.
First I’ll find Lucci.
Lucci’s spinning the wool in the center of the village.
Along with her, Yesu, Ichiyu, s.h.i.+rley, and Sharon are also working.
We haven’t got married but the girls already became a family huh
「Ah！Nii-sama」
s.h.i.+rley was the one that noticed me first.
「I’m home、I just returned」
Normally the two of them would jump at me but at a place like this they only stood up.
Lucci just quietly stood up brus.h.i.+ng her knee and approached me.
「Welcome back、Jumuka-sama」
I was startled at Lucci’s smile.
「Lucci、close your eyes」 (TN: OOOOO is that what I think it is?)
「Why？」
Lucci closed her eyes.
I put a finger on my mouth signaling the girls around to be quiet. This pose originally doesn’t work in gra.s.sland, but fortunately it was pa.s.sed down somehow.
I took out the gemstone necklace I bought for Lucci from my bag.
The girls around had sparkling eyes.
The culture is different, but as expected the girls love things with a gem attached on it.
Unfastening the joint I circled it around Lucci and put the necklace on her.
「It’s good now」
I murmured near Lucci’s ears.
Lucci opened her eyes and looked at her b.r.e.a.s.t.s.
Then she instantly turned around and jumped into my chest.
「I’m happy Jumuka-sama、such wonderful、I received such a wonderful thing」
Lucci softness wrapped around me.
This is the first time I hugged Lucci, but her softness scrambled my brain
There’s no word to describe the elasticity, I can just keep sinking into the softness.
Lucci’s softness squashed my reasons.
If it keeps going like this, it’ll be dangerous.
「Lucci、umm、everyone’s looking。 」
As I said so feeling embarra.s.sed, Lucci’s face also turned bright red as she let me go.
「I’m sorry。 Jumuka-sama」
I quickly left that situation.
I decided that it’s not like I got defeated by the surrounding girls’ lukewarm eyes. By no means that is true.
I called out to Uruji who’s taking care of the sheep.
Then I showed him the metal sc.r.a.ps I bought.
「Can you make arrowheads with these？」
「Umm I want to try it out。 But、I’m mainly about Plant so I’m not too good with Metal。 」
「Yeah、I’m aware of that。 」
Me and Uruji moved to an empty location.
Several sc.r.a.ps of iron were put in prepared container.
As Uruji loaded his magical power the sc.r.a.ps of metal started to shake.
As the vibration gradually got stronger the sc.r.a.ps of metal turned red.
The red metal melted and started to bubble.
「Haa、I have to、haa、remove the impurities。 」
As it’s done bubbling, the bubbles went away leaving behind a lump of metal.
Then that lump of metal gradually turned into a sharp figure of an arrowhead.
