438 Battle pencil (1/2)

In winter, the temperature drops, making it harder to go outside than usual.

I would spend most of my day in the mansion, so I had a little time to spare.

There are a lot of reversi, jenga, ping-pong, life games, and kendama games in the room, but all of them are just the latest.

”... OK, do you make new toys?”

If you are tired of playing so far, make it.

How can I kill my time in this season when I can't go outside?

The play of modern children such as games and videos cannot be reproduced in this world, so it is a more traditional play.

When I look back on the memories of my previous life, I suddenly recall the games I played during school breaks.

Battle pencil.

A game in which the surface of the pencil that rolls upwards is used as a random number.

The design and rules vary depending on the manufacturer, but most of the time, two people alternately roll their own pencils and decide whether to win or lose according to the text written on the surface that came out.

Practical play tool that is relatively inexpensive and can be used as a pencil.

In this case, I feel that it is easy to cut wood and put charcoal or iron core in it.

In the worst case, do not insert charcoal or iron core, and process it into a hexagon or pentagon so that it rolls.

Afterwards, you can design your own pencils, and then write text and simple illustrations separately.

”Yeah, it looks good”

If you decide, let's work on it.

Take out a large cloth from the subspace using space magic and lay it on the carpet.

Then, the wood that was also taken out was cut with a wind blade by wind magic.

It is formed into a hexagon like a pencil, and it becomes an easy pencil in no time.

”Don't do it”

In front of you is a slender, elongated wood.

When I rolled on the table as a trial, it rolled in a distorted way and stopped unnaturally.

It's not a hexagon you envisioned, and the way you roll is different.

This doesn't give you the exhilaration of rolling a pencil.

After all, cutting by magic is too difficult.

Even though it's a rough cut, these details are difficult even with my magic controls.

You can practice with your mind now, but when will it be completed?

I think it's faster to ask a professional craftsman than spend time practicing magic.

”Let's ask Elman.”

Magic is certainly useful, but it depends on time and case. If you prefer to do it by hand, don't hesitate to do it by hand.

If you decide, let's transfer to the studio of Ellman immediately.

--that? But isn't this the result of going outside? While developing a play that you can enjoy without going outside, what does it mean to be out after all?

I realized that after I changed my clothes completely.

◆

Using the transfer, I came to Erman's workshop on the outskirts of Coriat Village.

”cold!”

Although it's a moment, it's cold when you go outside.

I usually enjoy the sounds heard from the studio and enjoy the scenery before entering, but I want to escape from the cold as soon as possible.

The artisans in the workshop were still working today, as the wood industry could do well in winter.

The sound of processing wood in the dry air is echoing comfortably.

A craftsman who notices me and bows down also looks for Elman while bowing down.

I saw him sitting around something in the center of the studio.

There is also Elman, who seems to be working manually while chatting with the craftsmen.

”Hello, Elman”

”Sir Alfleet! I'm sorry to welcome you! Please sit down here.”

Ellman who noticed me got up in a hurry and gave me a chair.

”No, it's okay. This is just my self. It's a fire magic tool.”

What you are worried about earlier is something that looks like a magic tool in front of you.

It is shaped like a cylinder, inside which a fireball is generated and heats the air.

”Ah, yes. I asked a Triela company to buy it. I can't afford to work in a cold workshop.”

”Hey, can you afford the magical tools?”

”It's thanks to Alfleet's playground equipment. There are pitching targets and kick targets, so it's okay to do winter manual work.”

Erman who will help me without any increase.

As expected, it is a calm adult.

”Huh? Did you order an additional pitch target?”

”Yes, Nord asked me to set up the kids so that they could play at the training yard, and some of the villagers reduced them so they could easily play in the garden.”
