233 Apoitakara swordsmithing (1/2)

After a day's work, the impurities were removed from the apoitakara and a long, thin board was produced. In terms of the process of making a Japanese sword, this means that we have completed the process of casting.

The process should be more difficult than mithril, and in fact it is, but it went more smoothly than I had expected.

I had expected that my skills would have improved, even if I had to rely on cheats, but I was a little pleased to see that they did.

The fact that I've been making new weapons from time to time (though not recently), and that I've handled two special materials, mithril and apoitakara, seems to have had an effect.

It's like, no matter how many cheats you can handle, it's not always easy to make your body work the way you want it to.

The process from now on is basically the same as when I struck the demon Nilda with a sword before.

I say ”basically” because I'm going to skip a few steps and tasks.

For example, I have already skipped the process of making and combining iron skin and heart iron.

For example, I already skipped the process of making and combining the skin iron and the core iron. Unlike steel, there is no need to do so in the case of all-apoitakara (although there was no real reason to do so in the case of Nilda), so I did not do it.

For the same reason, quenching is not done either. If this is the case, then the warp is not determined at the time of quenching, but at the stage when the hizukuri is completed.

It may be debatable whether it can be called a sword or not, but it satisfies the requirements of ”neither broken nor bent,” and that is why I call it a sword this time.

On this day, Lucy ate dinner with us and went to bed with Krull.

Perhaps, in her own small way, she is trying to act as a guard dog.

The problem is that there are not many people or animals who can get close to this house.

Well, it's more likely that he just wants to be with Krull than a guard dog. He's probably still a child, so please don't push him too hard.

The next morning, I went with Krull and Lucy to fetch water. Lucy is walking a little ahead of me. She does not come close to Krull, so it is not difficult for either of us to walk.

She seems to be doing so out of consideration. If Lucy has learned this much from yesterday, she must be very smart.

Today, Lucy did not jump into the lake. So I just wiped her body lightly with a hard towel like Krull.
