Chapter 40 – Acquiring Manufacturing Skills And Worktables

As I was reveling in my sense of accomplishment, Havamar came out of the house with a mischievous expression… What is she up to?

What is it, Havamar?

“Big brother, big brother! It looks like you’ve finally learned the “worktable”.”

“That’s right, the level of the uninhabited island has exceeded “10”. I just checked it.”

[Work Table]

[Manufacturing]

[Effect]

Summons a special table.

Allows handling of metal such as iron.

Can create weapons (swords, spears, etc.), shields, armor, helmets, gauntlets, shoes, coats, and mantles. Also, daily necessities such as cooking utensils, nails, fishing gear, arrows, magic bullets, ladders, fireplaces, refrigerators, vending machines, tables, chairs, water bottles, and water pumps.

As the worktable level increases, it is possible to create magical lighting, iron doors, iron barricades, traps, magic wind turbines, magic solar panels, and shipbuilding.

Basically consumes “iron”.

Some items may require other materials.

“Oh! Congratulations, Big brother. That worktable is all-purpose, so it will improve our living standards.”

“But what should we do about the all-important “iron”?”

“That’s easy. You need to defeat the boss monster “Iron Golem”.”

“Iron Golem?”

“Yes. It’s a huge golem that inhabit the wilderness of the continent ‘Izuar’ of the Allied Nations Nielsen. It’s a big and formidable opponent.”

“I can’t go that far!”

Heck, I still don’t know where this island is located around which continent. But since the Holy Knights had arrived, it was probably somewhere near the Empire.

“That’s right, it’s probably impossible after all.”

“If you could teleport me, that would be different. I’m pretty sure you did it when you brought me to this island.”

“That’s impossible.”

“Why is that?”

“That was just using a consumable item to forcibly teleport you, big brother. I can’t use teleportation. That’s something only advanced magic users or holy maiden class individuals can do.”

I see. In that case, it’s impossible. But holy maiden class… maybe Skor can learn it. If so, we might be able to buy supplies in the outside world.

Even if I say that, we don’t even have any Belliose gold coins, so it’s no use. No, the outside world is now in a state of depression. Maybe we can get by with bartering goods.

“What other options are there?”

“Go to the cave and mine iron ore.”

“Hey, you could’ve mentioned that first.”

“I merely suggested it as a form of amusement.”

Havamar’s eyes became moist and teary. It’s not fair. …Well, whatever.

“Okay, I understand. That means the cave where that boss boar was should be the best option.”

“I guess so. Well then, I’m going home――”

I grabbed Havamar’s arm as she turned to leave.

“Come with me, Havamar.”

“Nyoh?!1Why me…?”

“”I want to see your abilities soon. I’ve already analyzed Skor and Alfred, but you’re still an unknown. I need you to help me a little.”

“Kuu~. It can’t be helped, but I’m not the best option to go out there.”

“Today is a commemoration of learning the worktable. Come with me.”

“Okay, I guess I will. I want to get closer to my big brother, anyway.”

――then Havamar grabbed my hand. Wait, her hand… it’s so small… Holding hands with a girl… even though she’s my little sister!”
