"Yoichi. I think we can manage to live there if we fix it, so how about a base here?
Lynne, who carefully collected the items left in the house and delivered them to a dusty box, said so in a cheerful voice.
"... is Lynne okay? Isn't it hard?"
One long ear of Lynne in my words, just a little lower.
"I remember a lot, and if I say it's not hard, it's a lie. But now, the joy of being back here again is much greater. Thank you, Yoichi..."
Are you sure you're okay? Anywhere else, though. "
"No, I like it here. It does remind me of the hard times, because I have more memories that I enjoyed than that. It seems like a dream to have another day to live here."
"... ok. Then let's gather wood and tools from nearby houses."
"Yes! There's a workshop over there for people who used to produce (or otherwise) wood processing, so if you go there, you might still have processed trees and carpentry tools"
Lynne will take the lead and guide us. I was worried you weren't feeling well, but your ears are pinned and moving, just like you saw the first time we went to the woods together. Apparently, the tension is high.
Relax a little, I'll look forward too. All right, good luck repairing Lynne's house!
"... hey, is Lynne a little clumsy?
Says as he looks at the wood of a distorted (snoring) cross section held by Lynne, who sadly drooped his ear.
"Sorry, I don't have much experience with these things..."
In the woods, using cut branches to make a simple cabin was an amazing handiwork, but apparently knives and scarecrows are on their own.
"Is Elf's Village a division of labor?
"Yes. I used to hunt and collect all the time. Everyone else did what they wanted, including people who were good at woodworking, yarn and cloth processing, stone processing, baking, medicine preparation, and cooking."
I see, Lynne wasn't a 'good cook' after all...
"I know something else, but are you going to do something like stone processing? Seems like they haven't used much stone, though?
"That's not true. This, for example."
That said, Lynne removes the knife from her pocket. Speaking of which, when you were cleaning up the house earlier, you were happily in your pocket when you found something.
"I say this is a black crystal stone, and it cracks sharply with a very hard stone. It's not suitable for mass production, but it's much tougher and sharper than the iron clans use. The Elves don't use metal, so we all make knives and scarecrows with this."
If you ask me, all the scarecrows and fleas around me have black blades too. On her journey to this village, Lynne was pulling through and reusing the arrows she had used, but still fewer arrows she had bought more than half. I guess the human arrow was under-performing when it was Lynne's bow arm. Lynne's eyes, looking at the black crystal stone's (doings), were sparkling and seemingly restored to her pocket.
"Ugh... brother..."
Turning to his sister's crying voice, there was a figure of incense weaving with a saw in one hand and a piece of wood with a large curved slice in the other. You, too.
On second thought, this sister was mostly clumsy except for cooking and sewing. This black crystal stone scarecrow is pretty sharp, though.
"... All right, let's split up!
Also known as instrumental poverty, most things can be done there, but only there. I'm in charge of repairing the building, and Lynne collects food and materials, and asks her sister to take care of the bedding and prepare dinner.
They say that an elf dwelling without metal is made by sticking and consolidating the cut wood with a special sap like adhesive, so that the wood I cut together is stuck with the sap that Lynne has picked for me to fix the tears in the walls and the roof.
It was largely useless on the road, so if I don't show you a good place here, it's serious because it involves my brother's ticket.
My sister cleans first, dries with the dust of the large cloth that was in the house beside the dish, and after repairing it, packs the dead leaves to make the bed. In addition to the ingredients, Lynne even collected firewood (maki), various tools, and hand-held cars.
I knew the right material was important. The efficiency of the work is very different from just now.
We all have an exchange of views over dinner.
According to Lynne, the village is surrounded by plenty of food and about 300 people can live together. Apparently, there was no sign that the people had recently entered.
According to my sister, there's a lot of cloth and there's no firewood (maki), no food, no tools, but the lack of water is the problem. Lynne went to the nearby creek to pick it up a few times, but given that she would also do laundry besides cooking, she wanted a water field nearby.
From me, if I repair a relatively good house, I will report that I can use about three other houses besides this one. However, it is an amateur job, so I would like a real person if possible.
"Lynne, what happened to the water before?
"From Sawa a little further away, I was pulling it using" (Toto). I've seen how it goes, but it seems to be broken in several places "
Well, depending on the damage, can I fix it?
"Yes, I'll change my mind, but Fran's flowers are blooming around here too?
"Yes, there are a lot of small waterfalls here because the mountains are close. It's almost over at the time, but I was wondering if we could harvest it for a while now."
"I see, then. Lynne should keep a timely collection of ingredients and other necessary items, mainly flan flowers, because I plan to stay here for about 10 days"
Copy that, sir.
"I'm going to try to fix it. Kaori..."
"I will help your brother and make clothes and underwear. The cloth here is soft and of good quality, so I think I can wash it and use it."
"Ugh, yeah. So then."
This sister, occasionally but very pushy. The first time you brought my help, it basically meant you weren't willing to leave near me. I can change places for sewing.
That's how I made plans for tomorrow and beyond, and I felt safe sleeping in a decent place that day for the first time in a long time, eating a lot and staying up late.
Lynne looks fine and happy, and her sister's expression is bright. Living in the woods, maybe it's really good.
But there's too much stuff missing to make this place a full-scale base. Again, several times, we'll have to go to the city knowing the danger. I also have future goals......
