Reincarnated as a dragon’s egg ～Lets aim to be the strongest～ Chapter 65 (2/2)

It has become easier to make dried meat, just a little more wasted than usual is fine.

More importantly, this fellow has become interested in ceramic art.

A special characteristic of this orange monkey is [Dexterous], and he has long, thin, fingers.

I’m certain it would have a higher proficiency in art than me, who has stiff thick scales cover my hands.

Unfortunately, I can’t reach to the top with my hands. (completely out of the blue. Someone add more context.) top as in the best so he is saying “unfortunately due to my hands i will never truly let me be a great artist”

It is regrettable to give up, but let’s a.s.sume that I entrusted my dream to this Orange Monkey.

I mix the clay from Clay bear with normal earth, and then kneaded it in front of the Orange Monkey.

When the shape is in place, I take charcoal out of the cave, surround the jar and heat it using [Baby breath].

I covered it sand when the jar’s color changed to white, to dissipate some of the heat from the charcoal.

The production process was shown, so I urge the monkey to also make one.

Trying to make the shape didn’t go so well.

I advised and gave it pointers, but in the end the appearance did not seem right.

I compromised with the shape, because remembering the process is more significant.

It could be used to put things inside, and there is also stability, so it shouldn’t be problematic in everyday usage.

“Ao……”

The monkey shed tears when it compared its creation to the jar I made.

Oi oi, stop crying.

Even I had to practice without sleep.

Well there is a first attempt for everything.

Combining your characteristic skill [Dexterity] and hand features, you could outgrow me completely.

I bring more charcoal out of the cave and let the monkey bury the jar.

I heat it up using [Baby breath]

The monkey threw sand on top of the jar to put out the fire, and when the jar was cooled down it was taken out of the charcoal.

We moved to the river with our newly hardened jar.

I feel a strange glance. Thinking it is a monster, I turn around.

The black lizard popped its head out from the woods and gave reproachful glare to the monkey. (TL: tsundere!?)

When it noticed that I looked back, and she quickly disappeared into a bush.

What is the matter with her?

No, there is a possibility that this is another Black Lizard….

But the size and features were perfectly the same...

Because we been together for a while, I’m confident I would be able to recognise her.

Well, let’s wash the jar.

While submersed in the current of the river, sand is soothed with water. (Sand is soothed with water? Anyone with knowledge of pottery please add terminology for this, if there is any.) Submerging it in the current of the river cuased the sand attached to the pot to detach.

Looking at me, the monkey starts to dip the jar in the river.

The shape of the jar that the monkey made is distorted, but after we finished baking it and removed the stains, the color was beautiful, and the whole thing looked surprisingly respectable.

It seems to be delighting as I rub the surface with it cheek and pat the finish pot on the side. (TL: similar to how you rub a.s.s.) (Please correct the sentence. I’m not sure I get the meaning, so I’ll leave it alone) E.N it seemed to be delighted as he rub the surface of the pot with his hand and aginst his cheek

Right, I’ve educated him enough for him to be able to do ceramic arts.

He will surely become a good ceramic artist.

When we go back to the cave I will let him make a few more to make sure he is improving.

For the time being, cooking and pottery have been decided.

If it is like this, I want two people for each ch.o.r.e.

E.N But as it is I also want the other two people responsible for something.

I thought of enlarging the cave soon, Should I make the remaining personnel help with that?

Ah, also, I want to have some pictures drawn.

Something like a fresco would be good, like, it's a smiling dragon that looks like it's either attacking people or people are coming to attack it.( T.L I give up…)

Something like a fresco would be good, because humans might not come to attack once they see the face of the laughing dragon a made.

We got back to the entrance of the cave.

Should I make bricks for the enlargement of the cave while the monkeys make jars?

From other side I heard the sound of kneading clay, and upon closer inspection, the form of the Black Lizard, desperately mixing bear clay with its forepaw, could be seen.  (TL: feel like black lizard is a girl.)  (we thought so too but i think he doesn’t know it and it will be revealed as a big twist)

(E2: And she has a crush on our dragon. What a twist!)

What are you doing? Are you playing?

Different from me who walks on two legs, the Black Lizard walked on four.

I don’t think you can make anything like that…

“Gaa….”

When I spoke, it jumped up from the kneaded clay and ran away to the forest.       (TL: tsundere…) (E2: Most likely)

What was that about?

Is that fellow interested in pottery too?
