Amazing Village Building

Chapter 32: What the hells going on in this village?

I reached the jailhouse.

The bandits within the cells had their eyes on me as soon as I entered, so I couldnt help but be a bit scared.

I tried to pay it no mind as much as I could though, and concentrated on the task I came here to do. So, I lightly touched the bars separating me from the bandits.

Hmm, it looks like I can use this.

My idea was to use Facility Customization on these metal bars and make weapons even stronger than those made of wood.

But if I start as is, therell be a gap between the bars.

After paying 2 points, the bars in the cell increased by 1.

Wha!?

The banditswho were still watching mesaw an additional bar suddenly appear, so they were understandably surprised.

I detached one end of the additional bar and made it shorter. Next, I expanded it horizontally, but also flattened it a bit. I then made the disconnected end become pointed.

I repeated these things until the bar was shaped like a sword.

When I was satisfied with its form, I detached the other the end, effectively making it no longer part of the facility.

What dropped to the floor was unmistakably a sword.

This only made the bandits even more clueless as to what was going on.

I did it! woah, its much heavier than I thought.

I remarked so after picking it up.

It was quite dense. But then, that should also mean that it was strong.

Now that I think about it though, if I made the swords from the shed to be denser, maybe they would have become stronger as well.

Leaving that thought aside, I decided to strike the wall with the metal sword I made. The impact with the wall caused shockwaves to be transmitted directly to my arms though.

Ow, ow, ow. I feel like my arms are about to fall off any moment.

The problem was that the part I was holding was an extension of the blade. In other words, I was holding the blades shank.

If I remember right, they usually cover the lower part with wood or leather.

After giving it some thought, I decided to make the hilt with the wood from the shed.

So, I moved the shed next to the jailhouse. Next, I placed the blades shank to the outer wall of the shed. I then made the wall wrap itself tightly around the shank. I made sure to make the wood be dense. Once I was satisfied, I detached the finished hilt from the wall.

Obviously, I would have preferred to make the partsthe blade and the hiltindividually first and then combine them at a later time. However, because the sword parts wouldnt have been considered part of their respective facilities anymore, I wouldnt have been able to use Facility Customization to combine them.

Am I dreaming?

how can you be when Im seeing the exact same thing

He made a sword out of the metal bar, and then suddenly made a shed appear whats the hells going on in this village?

The bandits who saw the whole thing were stunned silly. I mean, it is a bizarre thing to witness.

Anyway, its complete now. The wooden grip should be able to absorb a bit of the shock. While Im at it, I guess should try to make a spear. Only the tip should be made of metal, I think, and the rest should be made out of wood.

As long as I made the shaft be compact, it should be strong enough.

After following similar steps, I finished the spear as well. I brought both the sword and the spear to show it to Selen.

Selen, look, I was able to make decent weapons this time.

This is made fromiron? Where did you get it from though?

Selen was quite surprised by the weapons.

Nevertheless, she summoned Balrath-san and sparred with him again.

This time though, even after several exchanges of blows, the sword I made didnt break.

It seems strong enough.

Yes. I dont mind using this in real fights.

It seemed like the sword passed.

Next, to test the spear, Selen called Rando-kun who had [Spear Techniques].

Its so easy to handle. More importantly, its sharpness is so different from the one Ive been using. With this spear, even I should be able to contribute to our hunts!

Because Rando-kun has been using a wooden spear until now, he was so delighted to receive the spear I made.

But where did this spear come from?

I made it.

You did, village chief?!

His eyes wide open, Rando-kun shouted so.

Wow! I promise you, village chief, this spear will never see battle!

Huh? Why!?

Because its the very first item youve bestowed upon me. Its a treasure. No, its more than that. Itll be an heirloom Ill pass on to my children and my childrens children!

No, please, just use it!

Its not that grand!

Ghhif I knew, I wouldnt have swung it so carelessly earlier

Not you too, Balrath-san!
