"I'm sorry!? I met a pig in the woods!?"
André, who had finished watching, went home and shouted when he heard the end of the mushroom hunt.
It's impossible. My wife and daughter go mushroom hunting, and when they hear they're in danger, they get upset as a father.
But thanks to Crete-san, I'm not hurt.
"Yeah, yeah. Creto's magically defeated Zuburn!"
Is that so?
However, Stella and Nina were impatient instantly, so Andre's agitation quickly subsided. I'm glad I had a meeting with Stella and Nina before I got home.
I knew Andre, who loved Stella and Nina, would be very upset.
Now they were gazing at Nina and Stella all over the place, and they looked ticklish.
"Well, sometimes you meet animals and monsters in the woods." Crete, thank you for protecting Nina and Stella. "
"No, it's only natural as a man." This is an adventurer, too. "
"By the way, that's right." I totally forgot. "
Stella and Nina were also caught laughing at the words of Andre, who didn't know if they were joking or serious.
Yeah, I tend to forget about it myself, but I'm also an adventurer.
When I returned to the capital, I would show my face to the guild, as my adventurer activity was neglected. That said, the main thing I'm going to do is transport them.
"By the way, Cletto, did you leave the defeated pig in the woods?"
No, it's stored by magic so you can take it out at any time.
"Then I'll dismantle it." The pig meat is delicious and the fur can be processed to make various things. "
Got it.
I'm coming, too!
"Nina is working with me on sorting mushrooms."
Yes.
Nina, who was also curious, tried to accompany her, but Stella stopped her and decided to work at home.
Smiling bitterly at the sight, I went around the back of the house with Andre.
"All right, let me out around here."
André tells me to take the pig out of subspace.
Then Don and the big pig's body and head rolled.
"... ahh, you're falling out of your head so brilliantly."
"I'm sorry I'm in bad shape."
"No, you gave priority to protecting Stella and Nina." The blood bleeding process may be a bit incomplete, but other than that, there are no futile scratches, so you can use it a lot. "
Andre said that, and put a knife in the body of the pig.
At that time, I only considered defeating them to be my top priority, so I didn't think about the rest at all. Calmly, the adventurers were trying not to harm the materials while dealing with the ferocious monsters.
●
The pig turned into a meat mass after the blood was drained and the internal organs were processed, and the fur peeled off.
Can I get some meat and bones for the dismantling fee?
Absolutely.
I helped out a little, and Andre did most of the dismantling.
I could not dismantle it on my own, so it is only natural that Andre should be provided with some of the materials.
Split up what André needs to eat with his family and take some bones with him.
What about the fur?
Storing the rest of the material in a subspace, Andre asks when he gets the fur.
What kind of use do you have?
Even if it is said to be the fur of a pig, I can't think of how to use it.
There is dirt and sebum now, so I can clearly see that I can't use it.
"It is often processed as a cold shield or blanket." Sometimes it's used for bags and purses, and some people use it as a front door mat. ”
I already bought some winter gear in the capital, and I don't have a hobby of carrying it in my bag or purse.
Maybe a blanket or a mat for the front door.
I admired the fur of wild animals for a bit, so it might be good.
“That's right, I'd like to use a mat for the front door.”
"When it comes to tanning leather for Matt, it's a bit heavy for me to do." I can ask someone I know who does leatherwork, but what do I do? "
In my case, I have the means to bring it back to the capital and ask you to do it for me, but there are craftsmen who can process it in the village of Howlin, and if you are an acquaintance of Andre, I would like to rely on you.
It's easier to ask a craftsman André trusts than to ask someone he doesn't know.
So, can you introduce me to the craftsman?
Alright, let's go then.
When Stella and Nina were told that they were going out, Andre and I decided to head over to the Leathermaker's house.
●
"This is the guy who does the leatherwork."
There were two-story houses on the west side of the village, where the number of houses had decreased.
"Hey, Grive, are you there?"
André shouted as he knocked on the door, and the wooden door opened.
It was a young man with glasses with gray hair who came out of his face.
I've lived in Howlin Village for about six months, but I've never met this young man.
I am a leather craftsman, so I don't go out much.
Andre-san, can I help you?
"Oh, let me introduce you." This is Cleto, who lives next door. "
"It's Crete. Nice to meet you."
"... thank you. My name is Grieve."
I don't feel a bit bored, but I somehow feel like this is the nature of this person.
"Today I want to ask you to process the fur of the pigs that Crete got."
“I see. Why are you talking here?”
Grieve prompted me to walk through the door, which was lined with a variety of leather crafts.
Wallets, key cases, bags, slippers, and key holders were on display, and tools for processing various types of leathers were lined up in the large space at the back of the workshop.
It is full of the distinctive smell of leather goods and the mysterious smell of a slight chemical.
It is a smell that I can't smell, but it was not unpleasant at all.
"... amazing. It looks like a leatherworking shop in King's Landing."
"If I was doing it as a hobby, I would only be asked to do it sometime."
The person mocked himself, but at the time when the hobby became a job, it was amazing.
"I don't like greaves, but I'm sure of my skills."
I don't think André's words are being followed subtly, but I can see that when I look at the objects lined up here.
“I'd like to ask you to process the pig's fur, but is there anything real?”
Here it is.
When handing over the fur, Grieve observes with serious eyes.
"... it's a beautiful fur with no wear and tear at all. How do you process it?”
I'd like you to use it as a mat for the entrance, but is it possible?
“No problem. I'll give you two and a half weeks for three silver coins, okay?"
It doesn't seem expensive, but it takes longer than I expected.
“It's something that takes an unexpected amount of time to soak or dry.”
Grieve says with a bitter smile, how she has been able to see through her thoughts.
“I see, that's fine. I'll give you half of the cost first."
It's helpful.
I'll give you half of the silver and five copper coins as an advance.
If Matt is ready in two weeks, I'm going to give him the other half.
Alright, we're done with the order, so let's go home.
"Excuse me, can you go home first?" I want to look at the leatherwork here. "
I didn't have much opportunity to look at the leatherwork slowly, so I want to look at it because it's a big deal.
"Nh, is that so?" Then I'll let you go first. "
Yes, thank you for your referral.
When I saw André off, I decided to take a leisurely look at the leatherwork that was decorating it.
