A Comfortable Craftsmanship Life in the corner of Another World: The Workshop the Goddess Gave Me Was a Little Overkill

I can’t quite recall the details, but I’m in a forest in another world, arranged by a goddess.

　It had to be that way.

　When I stood up and looked down at my body, it made sense.

“Not a suit. ……”

I was wearing a saggy, hanging suit. Now it was something different.

　It is now a linen garment that I don’t recognize, only thick and unadorned. The shoes were not business shoes, but boots made of animal skin.

　It looks clean because it is brand new, but if it gets dirty, it will probably look like someone from a Western fantasy drama.

　And then there is the pristine forest that surrounds it.

“I’m in another world, okay. Well, that’s as far as it goes. …… I’m feeling light.”

The physical discomfort that had accompanied me all year long has completely disappeared.

　Stiff shoulders, headaches, fatigue from lack of sleep and exhaustion. Stomach discomfort that comes with stress. And many more.

　All of them are gone, and when I lightly bend over on the spot, my whole body moves with exhilarating agility.

“I was told to live a happy life, but I feel rather happy enough with this one: ……”

　Thank you, Goddess, for giving me a healthy body.

　Or maybe this is the effect of what you said about giving the body a divine weapon.

　Yes, a divine instrument.

When I became aware of this, the name naturally came to mind.

　A golden light converged out of nowhere, and the knife settled into his right hand as if it had been there from the beginning.

　It’s exactly what I envisioned, a survival knife. I used to borrow it from my grandfather.

　Is a knife a tool?  You may think that a knife is a tool, but knives are a necessity in every aspect of life, from crafts to handicrafts to bushcraft.

　If you call it a tool, it makes sense to me.

　It is reasonably light and reasonably heavy. The clean blade is sharp and thick enough for my needs, and the handle seems to suck on my hand. It is totally different from the cheap ones sold at a hundred-yen store.

　As I reminded myself, the knife lost its weight and dissipated with light. But its presence was definitely felt in my hand – in my body.

　It was just as I had been told it would be in my body. It was a bit like the masked rider I saw as a child, with his items disappearing and reappearing somewhere, and it lifted my spirits a bit.

“So far, so good. ……”

　The problem was the location.

　I said it was not a very prosperous place. I said,

“The fact that it’s in the middle of an unexplored forest is a bit of a hurdle.”

　The untouched wilderness.

My hobby is solo and loose camping. I think it is a survival camping style to be plunged into the forest with only one knife.

My belongings are just as checked. Clothes and a knife. That’s all. I don’t even have a tent, let alone a single match.

　Give me some more camping gear.

“Well, even if I say it, it won’t start.”

I dared to say it out loud. It is a habit of my rural upbringing to stay calm when thrown into the great outdoors.

　For example, when you find yourself lost in the mountains, it is dangerous to get upset and turn left or right. Without panicking or making a fuss, I try to grasp the current situation and think about what I can do to help.

　It was the basis of survival.

“You were told that you could do things or …… various, fantastical things. Like that the sacred objects could transform, or that they could be placed far away and still come back.”

　Let’s give it a try.

　I’ll try the knife.

　And just as I envisioned, a hatchet appeared in my hand.

“Oh!”

Amazing. I’m impressed.

I’m getting a little nervous.

Next time, let’s try it farther away.

“In a deserted forest. Axe in hand. If you ask me, I can’t do it at the camp……”

I swung my ax and aimed at a nearby tree.

“Throwing Axe!”

 Threw.

–In an instant, the base of the tree shattered.

“what?”

I couldn’t believe my eyes, but the fact of what happened didn’t change.

A thick tree with a diameter of 1 meter was pulverized in one hit by just throwing a hatchet at it.

“you’re kidding–!?”

A huge tree fell over my head as I screamed. A giant tree whose roots were crushed fell on my head as if it was a retribution.

…dead on the first day! ?

“Wait–!!”

I screamed involuntarily and stuck out my hand, and was mercilessly hit by the super weight of a giant tree.

A hard and heavy tree trunk occupies the area in front of you. I gritted my teeth while looking up at it.

As if in slow motion, the movement of the giant falling tree appears to have stopped.

…This is a revolving lantern…!

“……………………that?”

“It didn’t look like slow-mo.”

“It’s so slow that it looks like it’s stopped,”

“Don’t stop”

“I was able to walk around the fallen tree.”

Seen from the side, the tree that was about to fall had stopped its falling motion in the air.

“It is a betrayal of Newtonian mechanics.”

“That’s exactly the height my hand touched.”

“I have one idea.”

“… I was told that it stops space-time instead of glue.”

I pick up the branches that have fallen off and try to attach them to the tree floating in the air. The branches clung together in an instant.

“It’s true that it can also be used as an adhesive.”

“… Release ”

When I put my hand on it, the floating tree fell to the ground.

“… Can it be ‘fixed’ between objects and objects, or between objects and space?”

“I look back at the hatchet I threw.”

The hatchet that was thrown near the root of the tree pierced through the tree and landed on the ground, creating a small crater.

I nodded after confirming what I could do.

“Okay, I understand. Handle this with care.”

“Let’s pull ourselves together and get to work.”

I picked up a thick branch that had fallen nearby and hit it lightly. I checked if the inside of the branch was rotten or eaten by the sound of hitting. It felt good.

“First, make a cane.”

A cane is useful for walking on rough terrain.

“It goes without saying that it’s a cane before you fall.” It also functions as a sensor. For example, when crossing a large fallen tree, you can check if there is a snake under it.

“Now”

The fallen branches were about a handful thick and longer than my height. First, in order to 

break it in half, I swung down the knife on the branch I was holding.

With a hard sound, the branch split in two.

“……Handle with care”

“It’s incredibly sharp.”

As if cutting tofu, the branch is cut horizontally instead of vertically with one swing of the survival knife without any resistance.

The cross section that was cut does not even fluff up, showing a beautiful cut surface like a mirror.

“I won’t be surprised from now on.” Calmly and carefully, I grip the knife again and process the branch into a staff.

“By the way, I have bushcraft experience.” There is, but my hand turned the branch in my hand into a cane with speed and precision that I don’t remember even in that experience.

“This is not my technique…”

Looking at the cane that was completed in less than five minutes, I couldn’t help but laugh.

A different dimension of sharpness, and the skill of a craftsman who is more precise and quicker than a skilled craftsman.

Both are probably the power of .

“The cane is about 1.1 meters long.” The length of the cane used for walking is just right. Height x 0.6 to 0.7 is a guideline.

I suddenly had an idea and made a handle out of another branch. Here too, the easy-to-grip handle part can be completed in one shot. God’s power is truly amazing.

“Afterwards, we should use to ‘fix’ it.”

“Put the cane and the handle together and try to meditate.”

As if it had been integrated from the beginning, the handle remained firmly attached to the cane.

The result was an I-shaped trekking pole.

Even if you swing it lightly or slam it against a tree or rock, it won’t go away.

On the contrary, even though I slammed it against the rock, the handle didn’t have a single scratch on it. When fixed with , the space-time is fixed. That means nothing can physically interfere.

“…it’s not something that can be done in exchange for glue.”

“You have to try to ‘fix’ only the adhesive surface.”

When cutting a board, it will not be possible to ‘fix’ the whole thing. I have to fix the parts that I don’t want to cut.

“And you can also cancel it.”

Just like when I ‘fixed’ it, just wishing it to be released, the handle that was so tightly attached fell off.

Even if you look at the joint surface, there is no damage. ‘Fix’ again. Again, it stuck easily.

A knife with amazing sharpness and all kinds of tools. No nails, no strings attached, no peeling glue. You can put it on or take it off, and you can dismantle it without breaking it.

“It’s true that you can make anything with this.” It has the power to call itself a workshop with a single swing.

“Is this ?”

I took the cane I made and started walking.

“Exploration begins.”

“I was impressed by the convenience of , but I can’t forget it.” Now I’m thrown out alone in the forest and I’m forced to quit.

“What I’m looking for is already decided.”

“First of all, if you don’t have water, you will die.”

“Humans die in three days without water.” If you don’t drink water for even a day, you’ll get dehydrated and get sick, and your brain won’t work.

“It’s all about securing water quickly.”

“It’s dangerous to walk around if you’re in an accident, but this is a different world.” No rescue team is expected to come. Then I have no choice but to explore.

“Well, I’ve spent the night in the mountains in the extreme countryside.” It will work out.

“This is the world and life that the Goddess sent me.

Even though I was thrown into the forest, my steps were so light and calm that I hadn’t remembered in the last few years.

It was because I could feel that I had come to another world by experiencing such a fantasy power with .

“There is no more convenient tool for civilization.”

Safe water no longer comes out just by turning on the faucet.

But–he no longer had to drag his muddy, collapsing body to work.

“I’m free.” and,

“I’m hungry… It’s been a long time since I’ve had this healthy feeling…”

“I need to find food.” Let’s do our best.
