Chapter 49: Edge Village Accessories Facts - Preparing for the Summer Festival - 1. Mr. Hobb's Woodworker Lamentations

When the Japanese calendar was just in June, everyone here in Edge Village was working on farming... except one.

One exception is Mr. Hobb. That's what I mean...

"The women want you to finish the accessories for the summer festival in July?

"What..."

"... for all the women in this village?

"Huh..."

"We'll all know by the beginning of July... aren't we pretty tough?

"So... hey"

"Oh... everyone will take the place of their shoulders in the meantime, so they want us to even cage them in the house to finish the accessories..."

"It's..."

Mr. Hobb's tone explaining the situation is also powerless. I think we should put in some potion or something. No... more than that...

"But Mr. Hobb, with that tool, fine finesse is difficult..."

Whatever Mr. Hobb is using is a massive knife that is likely to be called a Bowie Knife in Japan. Even if it can be used for carving, fine workmanship like accessories will be difficult. Say no to Mr. Hobb and run all the way to the mountain hut - to my room in that real apartment. There must have been a set of sculpture knives that I used when I was in high school from middle school. It's not as authentic as a real job would use, but it would still be easier to use than a Bowie knife. And then we'll combine medicinal water to get tired...... or something like lemonade with our alchemy skills and take this with us.

I was very pleased when I gave Mr. Hobb a set of sculpture knives (five sets), who was struggling with fine craftsmanship with a large blade. I might have cared that it was new, but I could honestly accept it because I used it in and it was old. No, thank you very much.

While explaining how to use the sculpture knife, somehow we talked about cameo craftsmanship. I explained that the shell with overlapping layers of different colors carved the side of the woman, etc., but it didn't seem to pin. Well, you can't even do it. I don't have the actual product just yet, but when I painted and explained that the pattern was generally like this, I was looking at the painting with humph, but to my hand I still had a piece of wood, and I was omitted from finishing the portrait of a woman who looked just like the illustration. Mr. Hobb, can we do enough in Wang Du?

I felt like I could not help but enjoy trying sculpture knives, so I thought it would be bad to interrupt, so I dispersed early that day.

... I mean, I let Mr. Hobb go wild...

The next morning, I visited Mr. Hobb. What I saw was a happy Mr. Hobb surrounded by numerous wooden sculptures... but I haven't slept in that way. I feel like I'm getting high all night. I caught Mr. Hobb and asked him about the quality (just), and he enjoyed carving it the way he wanted, and he was immersed in the work all night. It's bad for my health, and I can't help but drink breakfast and lemonade simulation. I also used the magic of sneak sleep. If you give him a day off today, he'll be fine.

Now, while Mr. Hobb's off, let's do what I can. Do you want me to do a quick sweep for now and show you Mr. Hobb's prototype?

... Even your merchant is brilliant enough to wrap his tongue around it, but don't even get the accessory itself bigger just for the formality of embedding round balls in a wooden carved pedestal. The fact that it hasn't gotten too flavorful or coarse is amazing...

Hmm. I guess the only thing I can do is work on abrasive materials and paint. I can't bring in modern Japanese paper yasuri, and I don't think there was any lacquer around here. Instead of abrasive materials, it would be nice to have something like a wooden thief... I would look around a bit to see if the painter has something like an affordable resin.

Let's put down some sketches that might be helpful to the design so Hobb can look through when he wakes up.... I hope I can't do it again.

When I went to Grandpa of the Spirit Tree and told him about the situation, and asked him if there was any grass that could be used for polishing like a wooden thief, he told me about the grass that the elves were using for craftsmanship. When you look at the real thing... you look like the Earth's wooden thief itself. Is that what evolution is? I looked it up in the alchemy material appraisal, but it contains a lot of diatomaceous acid just like a global woodburglar, and it seems like it could be used in abrasive materials if dried by alchemy. They say the name of the Earth's wooden thief comes from the grind (and) grass (kusa), but it looks like he could use the same. Let's get something dry ready.

Hobb was very pleased when he went to Hobb with a properly dried wooden thief. Mr. Hobb said he knew about this grass, but the stock was on the bottom and he thought he'd have to pick it up himself. That could have changed my mood...... that? Did I do anything extra?

... Anyway, I handed Mr. Hobb a wooden thief mock and asked him about the paint, and he said you had an idea. They use the liquid obtained by crushing the immature fruit of a plant and then fermenting it for painting. I guess it's like Japanese persimmons. Let's hear more about it later. He also said that other edible oils - like sesame oil - could be used, so you can leave this one to me.

And then... you look forward to Mr. Hobb's hard work...
