Good morning. It’s morning, although still a little dark.
So, let’s do our best again today.
Yesterday was rice, so today it’s bread. It’s bread day.
I need to make bread again. But before that, I ran out of wheat flour, so I sowed wheat seeds in the soil and had them sprout and grow with “Sprout” and “Growth.”
Then, I harvested them with “Wind Edge,” collected them with a water stream created by “Splash,” performed threshing and drying with “Cleanup,” and crushed the wheat grains with Toriumi’s “Destroy.”
…I apologize to all the wheat farmers for making wheat flour so easily.
Today, I’m making several types of bread. After letting them “ferment” and rest, the maid dolls are fully mobilized to knead and shape them.
Then, I bake them in the oven (which has been expanded again—I don’t think anyone doubts that this place is a bread factory by now), and voilà, bread.
Lots of bread.
In addition to the large quantity of freshly baked bread, there’s potato potage, onion soup, and mushroom cream soup.
We also have jams, butter, and some baked bacon.
The maid conveyor system has finally evolved into a restaurant-style where it takes orders and delivers to the tables.
The evolution of maid doll technology knows no bounds. What is this!
Now, once breakfast is done, I’ll prepare lunch and then start making equipment.
By the way, everyone has gone to the 3rd floor with energetic individuals from the Drama Club, Information Club, and Newspaper Club for combat training with the Origins.
…Those are people with combat experience, in other words, those who had experienced the negotiation and the method to return to the original world directly with us.
So, there was still some resentment, but many of them understood the situation.
I was curious about that time when we had that battle… or rather, when we were beaten one-sidedly. I wondered why President died.
I mean, normally, President wouldn’t die. He wouldn’t make a mistake about when to leave.
The reason he died was because he protected the girls from the Newspaper Club and used a powerful move, which led to his death.
President’s explanation was, “Considering the convenience of ‘Abyssal Ash,’ I thought it was better to see life quantitatively.”
Wow, that’s cool.
So, for those reasons and more… well, in the end, everyone likes him.
Yes, let’s get started right away.
First, I’ll be continuously weaving the evolved threads from Glida. While weaving at a speed I can’t see, I’ll think about what to do with Ketorami’s and Marbello’s fur.
Maybe making fabric with it isn’t feasible, so I’ll consider making things like cords or belts.
Alright, with the plan in place, let’s start by appraising the fur.
…Wow, Ketorami’s fur is amazing. It has the effects of “Wind Nullification” and “Valor.”
“Wind Nullification” is just as it sounds – it nullifies wind-element attacks.
And “Valor”… it’s a skill that boosts one’s own abilities when facing opponents stronger than oneself.
This… this is something that must be equipped by everyone!
Ketorami’s fur is long. Some are over 20 cm, and the longer ones are around 30 cm.
Well, considering their size, it’s natural for their fur to be long.
However, despite that, the fur has a delicate and supple texture. You could find happiness being buried in it.
The color is dull, but if you align the fibers properly and add some shine, it could appear close to silver.
Well, during the time when he was shedding fur, he gave quite a lot of it.
Taking it bit by bit, I twisted it into threads and then knitted it into thin rope-like strands.
I continued knitting, and it became more like decorative belts or sashes.
After making around eight of them, the fur was almost depleted.
I’ll use the remaining fur to make a cord. I’ll probably tie it around my arm or hair. I feel like I’ve become a bit more “valorous.”
Now, let’s move on to Marbello’s fur.
The texture is similar to Ketorami’s fur. The color is black.
Marbello’s fur has the effects of “Regeneration” and “Vigilance.”
“Regeneration” is like an advanced version of “Healing Speed Increase.” “Vigilance” allows you to perceive things around you more delicately and accurately.
It’s not as directional as “Detection,” more like a constant radius in all directions.
Similar to Ketorami’s fur, I’ll spin it into threads and then knit it.
Combined with Ketorami’s fur, it becomes a silver and black decorative sash… Alright, for now, this should do the trick.
Alright, next up.
I’ll be using the evolved “Glass Spider Thread” woven fabric to renew everyone’s equipment.
Some of them are disappearing or getting worn out, and since the threads have changed, I won’t compromise if I can improve their performance even slightly.
I’ll be sewing continuously, incorporating minor changes and sometimes even significant modifications to different parts of the equipment.
Maybe I’ve gained more concentration and precision with the skills that were divided among us, as I finished sewing faster than before.
It seems like “Dyeing” has also become more accurate.
…Oh, wait, it’s already lunchtime.
I need to prepare it. Hurry, hurry.
Today’s lunch is fish fry.
For those of us who have surpassed frying at 100 portions per minute, this level of fried food is a piece of cake.
Along with the fish fry, we have potato salad and vegetable soup.
And of course, there’s dessert!
It’s the milk jelly I made after breakfast!
You can choose between fruit sauce and black syrup to pour generously over it. Both options are delicious.
Oh, right. I also want to update the equipment for the maid dolls.
In the afternoon, it’s back to sewing.
After “Dyeing,” it’s all about embroidery. I’m stitching like crazy, more and more.
With skills compatible with President’s abilities, it’s become easier with “Alchemist” to recognize various effects over a wider range, making embroidery progress smoothly.
As a result, Suzumoto’s kimono ended up with a motif of flowers, birds, wind, and moon through dyeing and embroidery. Well, I wanted to use various colors.
If someone says a phoenix would be better, I’ll make one of those too.
Then, well, it’s a bit of an experiment.
Remember that thing I did before, weaving patterns to add “Divine Protection”?
That pattern was, well, the same as the “Ward” pattern I got as a bonus in Kukurtz City.
In other words, the pattern itself might have an effect.
It didn’t work with “Embroidery” because the judgment for “Embroidery” comes first or because anything even slightly three-dimensional is a problem—I don’t know. But with “Dyeing,” I can precisely create patterns in one go.
So, if patterns indeed have special effects, wouldn’t the patterns from the “Song of Prayer,” the “Song of Wishes,” and the “Song of the Water Mirror” work too?
The conclusion: they did!
The patterns from the “Song of Prayer,” “Song of Wishes,” and “Song of the Water Mirror” each have their own effects, and they can even stack!
Alright, the lining has been decided.
After all that, it ended up taking the entire day, but I’ve renewed everyone’s equipment, including my own, using “Embroidery” and “Dyeing” to maximize their strength.
Curious, I quickly used “Embroidery” and “Dyeing” on some fabric and cut it with a knife.
And terrifyingly, it bounced off.
Yes, I’m satisfied. I’m very satisfied. I’ve done my best work.
Now, all that’s left is to mass-produce these. The quality might not be the same, but I’ll make the best-performing ones possible.
For dinner, we enjoyed a feast of Chinese stir-fry dishes. You see, among the vegetables that Marbello and Hunter brought back, there were these gigantic bean pods that exceeded human height.
Well, I couldn’t help myself; I ended up falling asleep in those incredibly soft pods. I just couldn’t resist the allure of a bean pod bed.
Leaving that aside, I used “Fermentation” to make bean paste with these beans along with some chili and salt to create doubanjiang.
So, for dinner, we had mapo tofu, green pepper pork strips, twice-cooked pork, stir-fried chicken and nuts, garlic chives with scrambled eggs, rice, and Chinese-style egg drop soup. Dessert was mango pudding.
I thought it was delightful to watch the maid dolls flying around with large platters of stir-fried dishes for the students. It seems like everyone was enjoying the dim sum spread.
Students, who had grown used to the maid dolls flying around, started enjoying their meal with no questions asked. At the same time, those who had been busy with combat training returned.
“Welcome back!”
“What’s this?”
Oh, I forgot that you hadn’t seen the upgraded maid conveyor system yet.
“It has evolved.”
“How cute!”
Katori seemed a bit absentminded, watching the maid dolls flying around with plates.
We quickly set up tables for the combat training group, served them, and offered them seats.
“Something about eating food of this quality makes you wonder what you were doing until now,” Tsukimori commented as she poked at her stir-fry dish with an indescribable expression.
Nearby, Minehara tried to flirt with one of the maid dolls, but it skillfully brushed her off.
Hehehe, my employees maintain their dignity, intelligence, and character while on the job, and they don’t engage in such behavior!
Oh, right, next up is probably the equipment for these guys, the combat training group, so I should ask for their preferences.
So, I went around the tables and inquired about the combat training group’s equipment preferences.
Alright, tomorrow will be another day of sewing. The day after that might be too. By then, the resurrected people might be back.
