Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

Fate, or shovel like you're selling at a home center or something.

It wasn't on us because I lived in an apartment, but I've used it before.

"You can't simply make it bigger, can you?"

"You can't do that. The length of the pattern is about twice as long. The principle of the shovel doubles the force on the tip of the shovel, right?

Could the same thickness make a bend?

No, but I had plenty of room, so can I just experiment with this?

"How about the thickness of the pattern?

"Isn't that a good thickness to hold? The cross-sectional area of the pattern is proportional to the square of the radius. It's pretty tough even with its current thickness, so I think it'll get strong enough."

"When the cross-sectional area doubles, does it double the intensity?

"Is that different?

"If it is indeed circular, it seems that the strength against the bending has tripled......?

I don't remember it well, but I remember seeing something like that.

"Then you'll be extra fine. I don't want to break the shovel pattern."

"But people in this world, they're physically capable, aren't they?

"... did that happen! Then that's it. Have you decided on the thickness of the pattern and are you a good way to take Mr. Gantz's advice and decide on the material? In this world, there are strong trees."

Nao, I hear the spear pattern you're using uses a pretty sturdy tree called pseudo-iron wood.

However, since it is an expensive material, it seems unlikely that it can be used for shovels.

"I'll start by prototyping the tip."

"Wow, why don't I make it right, too?

As for the shape, the earlier object was made larger.

The iron thickness reminds me of the shovel I remember, while trying to make me feel thick.

And then this one fixes the pattern, so stretch the iron cover up to support the pattern...... yeah. Got it.

It doesn't make a lot of difference, so it didn't take me long... I feel like I touched it and it's already suspicious. Putting a lot of effort into it doesn't make you bend, but it feels dangerous.

"Uh-huh, I made it a little thicker, but it doesn't give me strength..."

"Which one? Yeah, it does feel a little thick, but the iron quality, remember?

"- Ah!"

Toya made that point while you touched and nodded at the shovel I made.

On second thought, iron used in modern industry is iron that is strictly calculated up to the content of carbon and other metals.

Obviously, there's no way it's going to go better with the same thickness than using iron inferior to strength.

"Why don't you just make it thick at first and test it?

"Okay."

Toya, I followed your advice and prototyped a fairly thick object.

Secure the tip and apply a pattern about 1.5 times the length of the plan to try to multiply the entire weight.

"Bend, no,? Mr. Toya, will you try?

"Ooh."

Toya, at your weight, holding it down with recoil won't bend.

Seems strong enough at the moment, but on the other hand, it's heavy. If you want to use it for construction, make it as light as possible or it will directly lead to fatigue.

The shape is difficult to devise, so I will try to see how thin it can be without changing the shape.

Then a few times to prototype, I was able to give a level of strength that would be fine even if I thinned it to about the first half.

If I could get that far, the rest would have been easy.

The thickness of the pattern is easy for me to hold even for a small dwarf, and the patterned buttocks are also made and mounted with reference to what I remember.

"Wouldn't that be better?

"Right! Let's give it a try!

Go out in the backyard, dig a hole, or experiment with the intensity you were doing, Toya.

Fortunately, the shovel I made stood any test.

I also felt like I was doing too much stone dropping or something, but if I were to use it at the construction site, it could happen, and I changed my mind.

I do think sturdy tools would please me because there were many tools that would break, even if I didn't treat them rashly at the construction site.

"Is this good to be done?

"Isn't that good? That's all they used in the original world, isn't it? Shapes aren't going to improve that easily."

"That's right. Well, I don't even think what I made is in that perfect shape."

Are mass-produced products made from press processing?

Maybe it's in the optimal form calculated on the computer or something.

Mine just imitated the shape, so I might be able to make it a little tougher if I try... but it's not going to be easy.

"I wish I could make it a little lighter."

"I guess we'll just have to change the material."

"Materials? Oh, misrills and all!

"Does anyone use misrills on shovels! No, I don't know if Mithril itself exists. Other alloys? Or something."

"Do you have any good alloys?

"Unravel that!

Toya answers me confidently when she asks me if I can use it.

"Isn't that a no"

"You should talk to Mr. Gantz there. For once, my swords and Nao spears use blue iron and yellow iron, but I don't even know if this is an alloy or any other metal, because I"

"How about using that?

"No... you can't? I don't think it's just the price of the material, but our weapons, they're so expensive, right?

... Speaking of which, I spent over 8 million yen here, did I say something like that?

I know you're buying protective gear and Mr. Hulka's gear, but to predict from that, it's not going to be the price of a shovel either.

"Looks like that's it for our knowledge. I could do it as an object, so let me show this to Mr. Gantz. Toya, what were you making?

"This is me."

So, Toya, what you covered was something a little bigger than a shovel and a little different shape.

"Is that Scop?

"Oh. When I was touring Tommy's construction site, he looked like he was struggling to soil the dirt he'd dug. Shovels are good, but it would be useful to have a dedicated scoop. I'm not digging the dirt, so it thins out and lightens up."

"You can also substitute it with a shovel...... sure, if you get it right, you're going to sell it on a set"

The amount of soil that can be used is more in scoops, and fatigue can be reduced if it is light.

There's going to be demand, right?

I'll take it and try to twist it gently, but it won't bend to that extent, so it seems strong enough to carry the soil.

"Shall I put a pattern on this, too?"

"Whoa, please. Let's take a break when we're done with that. You just need to rehydrate."

"Oh, right. I was desperate, and I forgot."

I work in front of a hot furnace, so I noticed it was pretty sweaty.

Once I'm conscious, I know I'm pretty thirsty, too.

I just patterned it quickly, Toya, and you're back with the water.

"Here."

"Thank you"

"It's time for noon."

"Oh, is it that time already"

Seems like time was running out faster than I thought because I was working intensively.

As I exhaled heavily and unwound my body, Toya took the dried meat and began to shrink.

Speaking of which, lunch, I didn't prepare it. I've been eating at a nearby stall so far... shall I go buy something?

"Tommy, you want some?

"Oh, is that good? I'll take it."

You noticed I was watching you thinking that, Toya, and you offered me a bag with dried meat in it.

Hands out honestly, squeamish.

"Huh! Delicious! Dried meat is out-of-the-box delicious!

I thought it was just stiff and moist, and that's not true at all and it's delicious.

The taste is completely different from the beef jerky I had in the original world, but the deliciousness is comparable to that.

Is this expensive? If it's not that expensive, you don't have to buy it poorly in the street, bread and this might be better.

"This, because it's a Hulka piece. The guy I bought at the store in that corner, it tastes bad."

"... oh, right"

It is discouraging.

I thought you found something to eat in peace.

"If it is, you can give it away for about the same price as the dried meat in that bun?

"Oh, really?

"I made quite a bit of it, and if it's a little bit, you'll have no problem. It's just meat, so it's not that cheap, is it?

"Right. Skewer-roasted meat or something, I can't help it..."

Even the original world was pretty expensive, like beef jerky.

In my allowance, I was a little hesitant to buy it easily.

But it's a shame to give up this flavor!

"Yeah, I'll buy it! - If I could spare some more time in my wallet."

"Come on. All right, this is goodbye. I'll do it."

That's what I said. I'll give you the bag I had in my hand, Mr. Toya.

There's still quite a lot in there, so if you buy this, you'll do pretty good, right?

"Is that good!? Thanks"

"Eat that, good luck with your training"

"Training...... apprenticeship, do you think you can?

"You don't have a problem with things. If this doesn't work... I don't know if I'm going to have to win Mr. Gantz's trust with a positive offense."

"Ugh... I'm anxious"

"Maybe you'll be okay. - Looks like he's here, huh?

"What?"

That's what I said, Toya. When you looked back, after a while, you heard footsteps and Mr. Gantz came in.

"Hey, how's it going?

Toya pointed Bicilli at the shovel she arranged with a smile on her face, to Mr. Ganz, who would easily ask her that way.

"Ha-ha-ha, Mr. Gantz, you got it!

"What!? Already?

"I told you the shape was in your head. After that, we just need to build and test the actual product and improve it a little bit."

"Even if they think about it, it's hard to shape it. Which..."

With that said, Mr. Gantz, I'm going to quantify Shovel.

"Hmm. There's variation in what you can do, huh?

"Oh, this and this is my work"

"Are you worse off?"

"I'm an adventurer, aren't I? You can't help being better than him, can you?

Toya, who says so lightly, and Mr. Ganz, who roars with a seemingly difficult face as he compares the shovel.

"You're better than that apprentice, but what Tommy did... hey, make him look good"

"Yes!

Make shovels as they say.

I was nervous because Mr. Ganz was watching from behind, but it was a task I had already repeated several times, so I was able to create it without making mistakes.

"I see, is there technology? I doubt it, but I promised Toya I wouldn't ask..."

Oh, he was negotiating with me around that corner. Thank you, Toya!

He wanted to be an apprentice to a blacksmith, but he only possessed the skill of blacksmiths and was suspicious, so it sucked when he was pursued.

"Well, then, use it to show it."

"Yes, then, in the backyard"

Move to the backyard to demonstrate how to use the shovel.

The use itself is simple, so does it feel like it shows sturdiness or something?

"Hmm, you don't seem to have a problem. What's this one over here? Different shapes though."

"This is for carrying dirt, isn't it? I use it like this. This little one is assembled. Don't you think we can sell it for adventurers? At least I want it."

That's what you said, Toya, and I'll introduce you to Scoop and the portable shovel.

"Sure looks like it could sell... the problem is the price..."

"Hey, Mr. Gantz. Any strong, light, cheap metals? I made this sturdy, but it's a little heavy."

"I have something that's convenient! If there was, it would be used for weapons and armor!

That's right.

If there was one, I'd be using that one instead of iron.

"Does it weigh... no problem? It's not like women and children use it. Do the guys at the scene complain about the weight to this extent?

Mr. Gantz lifts the shovel and says so, but you shake your head, Toya.

"You work long hours, it's better to be a little light, right? What about the blue or yellow iron we use for our weapons?

"Silly Yarrow, blue iron is so heavier! First, the price digits are different from this iron. Red iron can be bought at about 4x, but it's processable."

"Blue iron, yellow iron, red iron... and you also sold black iron weapons. What other iron do you have?

"Am I right? Well, it's about white iron on us later. It's about 10 times the price, but it's pretty sturdy. Although processing is harder than red iron. Your cladding, that's the material you're using for it, right?

"Oh, really? That's pretty good, huh? I've never been effective."

"It must have been dangerous to say that the protective gear was useful. You better not have a chance to make sure it works. We're not here to fix it, so we're not in business! haha."

Wow, Toya, you guys were using protective equipment with that expensive material?

Blue iron, yellow iron is higher than that, right? Adventurers cost money......

"As of the price of the material, I don't think it's going to be the same price as normal construction, do you?

"Hmmm... how about a mobile for adventurers? Wouldn't it be a little lighter and more durable to sell?

"Sure, if you're an adventurer, you have the money... but it's also your hand to keep two in line? He who has no money will buy a normal one, even if it's heavy...... Toya, would you buy it?

"No, I won't buy it"

"Hey!"

Toya, that was ruined!?

"I'd rather have it made now! Mr. Gantz, I'll pay you, white iron, split it up. And Tommy, if you're a mobile, make it!

"Uh... is that good?

Saying so and looking at Mr. Gantz, he sighed and brought one ingot from the shelf to offer.

"I don't need money, so make it. I can see his arm, and what it actually means to make it."

"That's right, Mr. Gantz!

"I don't need flattery. Tommy, try it."

"Got it!

When I receive that ingot called White Iron from Mr. Gantz...... it's pretty light.

Quite apart from the impression I feel from the size, not as much as aluminum, but completely different from iron.

"It's two or three times stronger than iron if it's the same thickness."

"Yes."

Or, you can't just make it half thick, can you? I would be able to thin the tip part......

Ingot in the furnace with that in mind and heat.

And take it and beat it where it gets hot enough.

Gun!!!

- Stiff!

I'm not responding at all like before. It doesn't change shape as much as I tapped it somewhat, and I can nod that this is certainly not machinable.

But it's not that I don't have any teeth at all.

Repeat beating if you heat even as the senses command.

Did it take more than twice as long as it's ever taken?

Stop your hand where it came in the shape you had in mind and grind the tip. This one was a little tricky just because the metal is stiff, but it's pretty easy compared to machining with a hammer.

"Yeah, we're done!

It is very light and shiny, even though the shape remains almost the same. Its gloss feels a bit more like stainless steel than iron.

"Well, let me see."

Mr. Gantz, who received the shovel from me, tried his best at it and hammered it, then nodded as he was convinced.

"It's well done. What do you say, Toya?

"This is good! It's much lighter, so it's easy to carry. The tip is as sharp as I want the cover... would you like Halka to make it?"

"Maybe I can sell this. Hey, Toya, you can sell these to us, right? Including those who soil over there."

"Whoa, I don't mind. Instead, do me a favor about Tommy."

"Understand. Hey, Tommy, your arm's not bad. But you want to be a disciple, so you want to learn something, right? I'll take care of you, come tomorrow."

"Oh, bye!

"I'm going to make you an apprentice."

"Thank you! I'll do my best!"

"Ooh, come on. You'd be able to be independent faster than a normal apprentice. Well, I guess you can open a store in another city. Don't let your apprentice take your guests. haha."

Mr. Gantz laughs heavily as he slaps my back with a bang down his head.

It's just the blacksmith, and the mess hurts my back. I can't talk about that.

"Tommy, good for you. Good luck. If you raise your arm more than Mr. Gantz, I'll order it."

"Come on, suddenly a declaration of transfer?

"You don't have to worry, you're going to ask Mr. Gantz while we're based in this city. Or is it going to be pulled out lightly?

"You're wacky! You're not lazy enough to be lightly pulled out by a young man! - Well, if you get quite an arm, I can leave it to you, to the extent of your weapons!

"Then you're relieved. Tommy, steal him a gangster move."

"Ha... But yeah. Thank you, Toya. A lot. Really helpful."

A few days ago, he helped me go down and was dying, and he lent me money and even looked after me to my place of employment.

What would have happened if it wasn't for you guys that we met?

I honestly don't want to think about it.

At that time, Nao told me, "The Other World (Reality) is Hell (Hell) Mode," but if I didn't have help, it might have been like that. Whether you were even able to stay at your current lodging.

"I mean, it's good!

That's what I said, Toya. You laughed with a good face and slapped me on the shoulder a few times.

This is how I took my first step as a blacksmith.

Toya, who specializes in fleshbullet warfare, your bassi still hurt, though.
