Survival in Another World With My Master

Episode 073: My ass hurts in my first carriage

The day after I spent time with Sylvie and Ichicha, I started moving from Fort Gamma to Fort Alpha with Aila and two other magicians, ten light infantry, and two other Harpy.

You and Sylvie were gonna be apart for a while last night, and Isla left us alone. Thanks to this, we were able to spend a very long time together. Specifically, I was able to enjoy Sylphie, which is sweet and chaotic. It was a long time ago that I felt like a toddler. You're too cute and have a nosebleed.

Silfi woke up in the morning and she was so calm. It's cute again.

"Koske?"

"Hmm? What's wrong?

"I called because it looked like I was blurry. If it falls, it's dangerous."

"Well, it's dangerous if it falls. Let's be more specific."

"Nh"

We were shaken by a carriage. It was captured at Fort Gamma. I am traveling in admiration of the three carriages. The carriage is not so big, and it is quite fast with two heads. I think it's also because my inventory holds the luggage that I should have packed.

At this pace, we'll be at Fort Alpha by the end of the day.

"Hee, can you run through three days on foot in one day? It's early."

It is true that the landscape flowing outside the carriage seems quite early. As far as I can remember, the carriage is not that fast, but the horses in this world may be tougher than the horses on Earth.

"But that's it, this wagon vibration isn't going to work."

"Thanks a lot for the cushion on the koske."

The road between Fort Gamma and Fort Alpha is not flat cobblestones or paved concrete surfaces. It is a stripped soil that has been stepped on normally. Therefore, the carriage shakes badly with a little unevenness. Without the cushion, my ass would have hurt enough.

"Looks like there's no suspension on the carriage... well, yeah."

"Sasupenshon?

"A device that uses spring force to dampen the wagon."

"Koske, can you make it?

"I don't know what the structure is, but... no, maybe we can do it."

When I accessed the carriage, I had an upgrade menu.

Primitive front wagon upgrade -: mechanical parts × 10 wood × 20 steel plate spring × 8

I think I'm coming.

"Do it."

"No, not while you're driving...."

I only have the feeling of an upgrade or accident while driving. The horses are about to burst into flames of light.

"Stop"

I see.

It seems that Isla would have less wagon shaking. I think it's a little early for lunch break, but what if I also eat mess?

At Isla's signal, the three carriages slowly slowed down and eventually stopped on the shoulder. It seems that the face of riding other carriages was also easy for the carriage to shake, and it came down while rubbing its butt.

"I think it's a little early for lunch.

"Koske will modify the carriage. I can't shake."

"Really? The cushion Mr. Koske gave me was a lot better, but that's very welcome."

"It's a little early, but I'll have lunch. Koske, get me some food."

"Yes, sir."

Follow Isla's instructions to remove the food packs from the inventory.

This is a wooden box that brings together dried vegetables, dried meat, baked bread and flour, as well as seasonings such as salt and spices, so that one meal for fifteen people can be covered. Well, I used to eat three meals for five people.

This is a prototype to make the station more efficient, allowing us to package and manage our conservative supplies.

In addition to this food pack, we will need pots and dishes, but you will be supplied as soldier's equipment. This pack only supplies food.

"We'll go ahead with the cooking, so Koske needs to remodel the carriage."

"Okay."

I will upgrade the carriage once I have the food packs and pots and dishes. Ask the soldiers who take care of the horse to let the horse go of the carriage. It glows brightly when you upgrade. If I'm surprised and outraged, my horse and I are in danger.

Fortunately, we have all the materials, so if you just let go of the horse, the upgrade will be over soon.

Hmm, dazzling.

Even though it is daytime, the area is illuminated brightly. If you look directly at it, your eyes will dazzle even during the day. I'll dive under the upgraded carriage to see what's going on. Apparently, there was a spring made of a metal plate spring between the axle and the body. How much less shaking will this cause? I don't know if I have to try all this.

"You got it?

"One for now."

"Fun"

Always a faint smile on her face. It seems that the vibration of the carriage was a serious problem for Isla's small body.

"Don't expect too much. I don't know how effective it is."

"Nh, okay. I'll be glad if the vibration decreases a little."

Speaking of which, why isn't the axle of this carriage broken under that vibrating shock? That's what I thought. When I looked closely, the axle was usually made of wood. Can't you break it?

"Isla, this axle is made of wood. Why can't it break with that vibration?

"The magic of Durability Enhancement and Condition Restoration is engraved on the enchanted wood. That's why it won't break."

"Is it magically enhanced?"

"Yes, axles are the most luxurious of carriage parts."

I see. My image is that the axle of a carriage breaks well, but in this world, it is magically strengthened to prevent it from breaking. The price of the axle is going to be higher, but it's more cost-effective than buying multiple axles or breaking the axle and making it inoperable.

The other two will be at lunch after the upgrade while Isla is watching over them. Today's menu... what is this? In the meantime, it looks like it's all been poured in and boiled.

"Baked bread is hard, so if you can simmer it, it's easier to simmer it down and make porridge."

"And then we also simmer dried vegetables and dried meat to get stock."

"And I made dumplings out of grain flour."

In other words, it was all boiled porridge. No, it's good because it's a flavor that can be eaten unexpectedly... but if you think about it, even if you say you cook in battle, it's hard to eat a normal meal like you normally eat.

Even on the earth I was on, the military diet would have been almost the same as this 50 years back.

Now I can cook it, so I make porridge like this, but otherwise I would have had to mog the hard, salty dried meat again while eating the hard baked bread.

It will be difficult to make a decent meal anywhere without lettuce or at least canned food. I can't think of anything at this level of technology.

"Are you thinking again?

"I was wondering if I could eat a delicious meal anywhere."

"Difficult"

"Well, that's hard. I can't right now."

I would like to try bottled, canned and retorted foods, but it will take a long time. Maybe it's faster to solve something in a magical way than that. If we can make the tools to carry large quantities of fresh ingredients, we can solve it.

"Wow, the shake is small."

I'm sure you're doing pretty well.

The carriage sway with the suspension was considerably improved by the upgrade. It still shakes quite a bit, but compared to when there was no suspension, it is a difference in cloud mud. It's a level I wouldn't mind if I had a cushion.

It was also popular with veterinarian light infantry, and the carriage ran fairly quickly. Thanks to that, I was able to reach Fort Alpha when the sun began to tilt.

"Oops, people are overflowing."

"Nh, I'm camping outside."

As Isla said, there were several curtain houses built outside Fort Alpha. Apparently they couldn't get into Fort Alpha. It appears that the Liberation Army is camping in the curtain house. You gave the refugees a safe bunk in the fort.

Break up with Isla and the magicians who are going to treat the refugees and go to the food warehouse with the light infantry. There was a lot of confusion among the refugees looking for food. It was difficult to get to the food warehouse, and without the light infantry, we might not have been able to get to the warehouse.

"Ahh!? Mr. Koske, I've been waiting! Come on, let's go!

"Okay, I got it! Calm down!"

A goat civilian daughter with round glasses grabbed her with half a tear. Even though there were many calls for food, it seems that the supplies were bottoming out and they were mentally chased.

Discharges supplies from the inventory into a nearby food warehouse. It consists mainly of bags of grain, wooden crates containing lemons and vegetables, and wooden crates containing ready-to-eat block cookies. The rest is dried gizzard meat. Even though gizzard meat is supposed to be the raw material, it is dried beef or pig meat, but you shouldn't worry about it. This is the beginning of my ability. [M]

Even so, there was only salt left. I felt lonely that there were only pottery bottles lined up with salt in the corner of the warehouse.

"I'll keep the order! The supplies are all over the place, so calm down!

The daughters of the civilian crowd, who were about to cry earlier, began to raise their voices and distribute supplies to the refugees. I said I'd go outside and build a bed, so I decided to get out of there.

"Hey, good work."

I was called out from the crowd near the food warehouse. Looking back at the voice, there was one fox man with a huff. It's a face I've been seeing for a long time.

"Long time no see. You were a bachelor?

"Well, I'm good at sneaking around. It's the right material."

After a long time, Cubi looked as calm as usual. She doesn't seem to be particularly thin or injured. Looks like you did a really good job.

"I'm glad you're safe anyway. What are your plans?

"If you rest here for a few days, go to Fort Gamma and meet the princess and Da Nang's old man. I'm going to scout."

"Well, be careful. That's right. Drink this."

"Whoa, does this smell like beer? I'm sorry."

"Don't tell anyone."

"I know."

Cubby leaves with a bottle of honey liquor in his face. I suppose you're going to drink somewhere soon. He walks away from the back and again steps out of the fort. Then Warg, a Blutbad with his men, walked in the front. Did you notice me? I'll raise my hand and say hello.

"It's been a while. It's been a long time."

"Yeah, well. Koske made me feel more comfortable."

The food warehouse, it was pretty close. The food in my inventory is also pretty sparse, and I have to seriously replenish it.

"I'm going to build a replenishment base with lots of farmland soon tomorrow, so I think we'll have plenty of room in a week. Have you chosen a location yet?

"Unfortunately. However, from this fortress to the great wilderness of Omit, the plains continue."

"Anywhere at all."

Warg nods at my words. So you're gonna build it next to this Alpha fort? Ultimately, it will also be "back" here, and I think it would be better to make it in a position where it is easy to get security out of Fort Alpha. Perhaps it would be better to build it on the side of the Kingdom of Merinard rather than on the side of the Omit Great Wilderness. There seems to be plenty of land, and it would be the refugees here who work on the farmland they built. I wonder if you can spend more time in peace than building farmland in the great wilderness of Omit.

"Okay, think about it. I'll talk to Sylvie and the others at night."

"Please."

Break up with the Warg and build your usual temporary shelter a little further from where the PLA soldiers are camping. The high floor type base is highly safe and has a large bath, so it is easy to use. Reflecting the testimonials of the users, the version is instantly upgraded.

Maybe Harpy and Ira will sleep in this temporary lodging just like me, but what about the others? It's easy to build a place to stay, but what's the matter? I can build a barracks for the Alpha Fort garrisons outside... I don't know what to do. We can't just leave it outside the fort.

In the meantime, would you like to build a dormitory for all the light infantry and magicians who have acted together so far? Based on the temporary accommodation, we'll be fine if we build it a little bigger... we've got about 20 people. Would it be good for a big one, yeah.

I'll have Isla and Pirna ready to eat as soon as they get back. We might have to put a futon in the bed, and we'll need some maintenance after we build it, right?
