Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

Since the next day, we've been expanding our exploration into the back of the woods.

The bind viper, who was struggling somewhat at at first, also became so light after Natsuki had Tommy make his bespoke sword.

It's hard to shrug off the head of a bound viper that's been stretched out with a shrug, because the nuts are going to cut it off perfectly.

To our surprise, Natsuki said softly, "I'm better at swords than knives."

The truth is, if you just shoot me, you can do anything with Yuki's magic, but as for Natsuki, he was a little sorry that he didn't have an effective means of attack.

As for Skull Ape, there were no major problems if I got used to it.

One is weak, so it's less dangerous if you cover each other and shoot them in order.

Only individuals who try to throw stones from time to time have been a little troublesome, but it is also easy to prioritize and destroy them if members who can attack at a distance remain vigilant.

Especially since the aftermath is troublesome and makes little money, it's not much of an enemy I want to encounter.

Deer who was a little worried about what to do - Brown Eike was hunting a good number in relation to making close to oak per car and living relatively more close to the mountain.

It's troublesome when it comes to dismantling, but if you have a moving pulley and stepladder in place beforehand, you can also dismantle it in the woods without much difficulty.

Thanks to these, we continued to make much the same money as before, despite the fact that we tend to make less money in the season in winter.

I honestly appreciated this because there was a significant reduction in storage due to the purchase of the house.

And to keep going into the back of the woods, for less than a week, we had finally reached the area where the namewood was growing.

If we can't do it a little bit, we could have gotten there sooner, but our purpose is to cut the tree here. It's not over when you get there.

Naturally, the sound of the axe sounds loud at that time, and if there are many demons around, it will attract them.

There was also a slight caution in exploring it, feeling a little bit like exterminating demons.

"Well, trees around here sell high in every tree, don't they?

"Mr. Simon wants walnuts, he said something targeted... and fat was good, right?

That's what Yuki responded to as I peppered and tapped the tree around it.

Hmm, is that walnut? You don't know it just because you don't see the fruit.

[Help] can be used to discern.

"But there are a lot of pretty thick trees, right? It's about 50 centimeters rough, and you can usually find more than a meter"

What Toya is saying is the diameter of the trunk.

Some of those trees aren't half as handy as I hug them, so I'd say there are quite a few giant trees.

In Japan, where forestry flourished, this is not the case where all the trees grow.

There are giant trees left in some townspeople's du, spiritual mountains, etc., but I don't know because I've made them wood otherwise.

"Such a big tree, you can't help but feel it cut"

"I agree. How long did it take for this to be all?

"Many times our lives, I guess."

We look up at giant trees and think about the way things have been for a long time.

But it was Toya who crushed our sentiments.

"But you're hanging up, right?

"... well, yes"

I've had a hard time getting here, and I don't have the option to go home without cutting.

I don't have one... but it's just a sentiment.

"Sure, Toya's right. At least don't cut it too much, cut it at intervals."

"Right. If you cut a large tree, you can make room for a smaller tree to grow."

That's like logging.

Fortunately, no one else is coming to cut it, so there seems to be no need to worry about depleting resources.

"But this whole thing used to be logging, right? You don't see any trace of it?

"Speaking of which, don't you remember seeing a stump or something?

As soon as I heard they had been cut out for the thrive, I was walking and never noticed.

I don't even think I was digging up a stump every time I cut it.

It was Toya who answered my question like that.

"There it is, huh? Pretty decaying, but it didn't stay decent. Certainly in the heap of it... see"

What Toya showed by tearing up the sesame grass was indeed a trail of stump.

Less than a meter in diameter, but still of considerable size.

There are few parts left over from the ground, and the part buried on the ground is quite decaying, and it will assimilate to the ground in a little while.

There is also grass growing from the part of that stump, so I wouldn't notice this if I wasn't told.

"Toya, have you noticed? I thought a stump was something that stayed for quite a while... No, I don't know what time it is."

I don't know better, but the trees stopped being cut out of this forest, and it's certainly been over 10 years?

Is this normal?

"Here's a real example of a magic mushroom that grows before it decays, and maybe it's perishable."

"Hey, there's something strange, isn't there, this world? Look, like inspirational sauce."

"... I'm sure it's a threat disassembly."

"Honestly, it's strange around not being bioterrorism"

Given that, isn't it as big a deal as how quickly the stump breaks down?

"Well. It's time to cut the tree. Toya, do you know how to cut a tree?

"If it's easy stuff. Cut the receptacle to the trunk in the direction you want to defeat first. Then on the other side of it, cut from the slightly upper part of the receptacle. Finally, strike the wedge in and knock it down. Before I defeat you, I scream, 'Oh, I'm coming.' Like that."

"Well, that's surprisingly important, caller. This size tree, when it's underneath, it's life-threatening."

"It sure sounds like a mess to me."

From the height of dozens of meters above the ground, the threat would be understandable if you think Mr. Sumo is going to set up a body press.... No, for the hard part, is it worse than that?

Good and fractured, if bad, dead.

No matter how much your physical abilities have improved, you are not willing to try that strength.

"It's just that it's hard for amateurs to knock it down in the direction they're after, so I think you should pull it with a rope... it's dangerous for people to pull it, right?"

"That's it, why don't we just use the pulley? There's a long rope."

Pulleys bought to dismantle deer and long ropes bought to climb dindle trees. With that, you can pull the rope without having to be in the direction of falling.

I left it at the inn after the time of picking up the dindle, but I've been carrying it with me ever since I got my magic bag.

When there was some kind of incident, the rope seemed important.

They're going to tell me to carry it with me for a long time, but it's a heavy rope that's sturdy and long.

More than dozens of kilometres specifically.

I don't really understand the ingredients, but it seems to be some kind of natural fiber.

I guess some sculpting fibers are a little lighter and sturdy, but I can't help but have none.

"That's certainly a good way. It's unlikely that a fallen tree will hit a pulley unluckily."

"... isn't that a flag? Hulka."

This is a moving pulley, so I got a pretty good price.

For that matter, I only need half my strength, but it's a slightly more complicated structure, so in case a fallen tree hits and breaks, it hurts pursely.

It will be installed in the direction of falling, so I can't say enough that it won't hit me.

It is better to break a moving pulley than to hit us.

"... be careful how you install it so it doesn't hit you"

I snorted at Halka, who said that and smiled bitterly, too.

"Right. - But isn't the biggest problem with the thickness of the tree? Is this the thickness you can handle with an axe?

The axe blade crossing we bought was about 20 cm.

In contrast, what we are trying to cut is giant trees with diameters exceeding one metre.

It feels like I'm going to scrape rather than hang up.

Given the space to wield the axe, it will have to be sharpened to a pretty big crusty type, and it looks pretty hard.

Comparing the axe and the tree that Toya took out, everyone twists their necks.

"How do you cut giant trees of this size, when they're modern?

"I used to see you use a giant chainsaw about my height."

Yuki's question reminds me of the landscape I saw before.

I also used the crane at that time, so it doesn't help me at all.

"Chainsaw..."

"Can't you make it even in Hulka?

"You mean with a demon prop? I'm not saying it's impossible if you study it, but it doesn't really bother you."

"So, that, super huge, joke-like saw" Kokiri ". Guy with a strangely large blade."

"You mean Osaw? That's a big gizzard, but only because the blade is on the tip, right?

Is it because of the drainage of sawdust that the gizzards are large?

In the first place, it seems to be a sawn for wood production and not used for logging.

"If it's a saw" nook ", does that mean a double-pulled saw? The one you pull for two from both"

"You didn't buy that, did you?

"That's right. Because I thought I could handle it with an axe..."

When I actually came, there were more giant trees than I could imagine.

Regardless of about a few, if you're going to cut this size giant tree multiple times, honestly, it's distracting with the axe right now.

"Uh-huh, Halka, can't you cut it with magic like a water cutter?

"I think we talked about not being able to do this before?

Hulka gave a strange look to Toya's question.

Water cutter, that's magic that came to the conclusion that we talked about it once a month or so ago and you can't.

"That's it, isn't it? The water sprayed at high pressure hits the air and diffuses, so it only cuts nearby objects."

"Yes. So if we cut a tree, maybe we should cut around the trunk, about a centimeter or two? It's not the right place to cut a tree."

"Yeah, that's why I thought about it. If you make a thin pipe with magic, and you go through it, it will reach far without diffusion."

"Well! Toya, you're a genius! - You think I'm gonna say? How hard would it be to make a thin pipe that withstands such high pressure with magic...... Toya may be hard to understand because she doesn't use magic, but it's pretty hard to use the magic of this world, huh?

Hulka shrugs her shoulders with a frightened look on her face.

And I agree with that.

It's hard to customize magic, and it takes a lot of practice, especially if you want to use it quickly.

That's why I prefer Fire Arrow.

But the mood of such wizards didn't seem to pass on to Toya either.

"It doesn't look like a Hulka to give up without even trying! I can do it! Hulka would do it!

"... you have heavy expectations of irresponsibility. Me, with the alchemy and the light magic drill, it's pretty tough, huh? Speaking of which... Yuki also had the qualities of water magic, didn't she?

"Yeah!? Me?

Suddenly Hulka talks to me and Yuki points at herself and circles her eyes.

"How many levels now?

"For once, I'm at level 2... I haven't used it much, have I?

Each face that can use magic other than Toya continues to train magic in the tunnels, but it is the basics that are actually used in combat, Fire Magic Only.

Fire magic is powerful enough, and fortunately there are no fire resistant demons out there, so there is no reason to use another magic, and there are few opportunities to be active.

My space-time magic is rarely used in combat these days, and I've made magic bags, so I don't have a chance to use them except during training.

Rather, magic in general is very active in everyday life.

Easy bathing, staying clean, not having to worry about the cold, not having to get wet in the rain, all thanks to magic.

It's not flashy, but it plays a very important role.

"Sure, 'Water Jet' was level one, wasn't it? Why don't you just try it?

"" Water Injection "Water Jet", as it is, is inferior to a high pressure washer... Don't expect too much, okay? I'll try to keep the pressure as high as possible, though. "

With that said, Yuki brings her index finger closer to the trunk of the tree.

"Mummy......" Water Injection "Water Jet"!

The thin, powerful water pops out of Yuki's fingertips and sweeps through the trunk of the tree.

Yuki stays put, slightly shifting her fingers......

"... sounds convenient for skinning trees, huh?

If you look closely, only the skinned part of the tree has been eclipsed.

Keep your face close and look closely, but the trunk itself is not scratched.

"Speaking of which, they sometimes use a high-pressure washer to skin the wood."

"You do peel off your skin beautifully. Then the trunk of the tree remains clean."

"Yuki, can't you try harder? Keep the amount of water, squeeze it thinner or something."

"I can't, the limit! I mean, magic is the limit! Over!"

Stop the water you were putting out of your fingers and Yuki exhales "Phew ~ ~".

The width of the shredded skin is about 40 cm along the outer circumference of the trunk.

This is not magic efficient... Before I say anything like that, if it's about skin, it can be cut easily with a saw, so it doesn't make any sense.

"At least if the trunk shreds, it would be a bit worth it..."

"If you think so, you should try Nao too!? I'm an elf, you can use it even if you don't have the qualities!

"I'm not practicing water magic."

The lack of qualities is the same with fire magic, but I've been taking this at level 1 since the beginning, and I've been training for a long time, so it's pretty easy to use.

Meanwhile, water magic has never been used before.

That said, Hulka has alchemy on three systems of magic and Yuki has dyed her hands on alchemy + pharmacy on four systems of magic. Given that, I only remember three things: space-time magic, fire magic, and earth magic, maybe I should try a little harder too.

"- Be positive and do good"

"Expect keen effort!

To my vague answer, Yuki pointed at me as Bisili and said so harshly.

Yeah, I'll do my best. As time permits.
