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

Essentials for survival.

Clothes, check. Water, check. Bed, check. Food, check.

　The last one is fire.

　I made a bow-shaped fire starter.

　A string made by tearing and twisting thin strips of bark is attached to each end of the limbed branch to form a bow-like shape.

On a dry board that looks flammable, stand a stick of dry branch wood, and place a stone on top to hold it down, wrap the string of the bow around the stick and swing it from side to side.

　The rotating rod, like a drill, creates friction between the wood and the board, and the frictional heat and wood chips created by the rubbing of the wood against each other ignite the fire.

　I think everyone knows how to ignite a stick by rotating and rubbing it between your hands. It’s just easier to do that with a tool.

　…… I remember Tom Hanks making a fire in “Cast Away” while covered in blood.

　It is difficult for an amateur to rub wood together and light a fire. It’s not always possible even if you take your time and work hard.

　It’s because we work hard at different things.

　Instead of working hard at rubbing, you need to work harder at identifying the material. Pick up some branches and wood that will burn, and gather up some tinder that will burn. Then all you have to do is shape it a bit, and after a few minutes of rubbing, the fire will be lit.

　Identifying and processing dry materials. That is the first thing that is important.

　A simple point to remember is that coniferous trees are usually more flammable, so picking up firewood around trees with thin leaves will make it easier to ignite.

　With , the process is easy and top-of-the-line. It was my first time making a friction fire, but it didn’t take much time.

　Since I had trouble finding a crater, I cut off a branch that looked like it was full of resin and made wood shavings and superfine feather sticks with the blade of my .

　As the name suggests, resin is highly flammable. It burned in one shot.

　By the way, when you tap a piece of fallen firewood with the back of a knife, the part that makes a high-pitched sound is the resin material. It is fun to look for it, like a treasure hunt.

“Okay, everything is set”

　Water, food, and a fire.

　My base had everything I needed for survival.

　From here, let’s take time to replenish the energy we have used.

　First, boil the water.

　Fill a pot made of bark with water and heat it.

　Any material that is thin and does not melt at 100 degrees Celsius (212°F) can be used as a container for the water in the pot. If you want, you can use paper or leaves.

　The bark is a natural cellulose C fiber F material. CF sheets, which can be easily obtained by peeling it from a tree in the middle of nowhere, are a strong ally of Sabakyan.

　Drink boiled river water. As to whether it is safe, well, all I can say is that it is probably okay.

　However,

‘It doesn’t taste weird or anything,’ he said. “I don’t know if I know what it tastes like.”

Yesterday – in my experience, it was yesterday.

　I don’t even remember what I ate the day before I came to the other world.

　Because I was shoving something tasteless down my throat in order to survive.

On the rare days off I get, I go camping and empty my head for a few hours before eating the food that tastes the best.

That’s why I have high hopes for the rabbit I’m about to roast.

Create a space for grilling meat with a collection of charcoal and grill it on a stone frying pan.

A stone frying pan.

All I had to do was use a flat stone as an iron plate, but I suddenly thought of changing the shape of the .

If you attach a diamond cutter to an electric disc grinder, you can even cut a concrete block in half.

So, if can cut trees like tofu, wouldn’t it also be able to cut stones in saw form? That’s what I thought.

The result: A natural stone was cut out with a saw, and the rabbit steak was grilled on a stone grill.

That rabbit meat was also made into a carcass using a survival knife form of . What I’m grilling now is the back meat, which is the most delicious of all the rabbit meat.

Flip it over with chopsticks made from branches and grill both sides properly, then use a wooden board cut out with a saw as a plate.

“I’ll enjoy having this”

I cut the meat with a knife, stabbed it with a simple two-pronged fork, and brought the filet steak to my mouth.

“Ah…! Ah, it tastes…!!”

When you bite into the chewy meat, the juices overflow from the meat and you can feel the definite flavor.

The flavor of the meat itself, complemented by the modest fat of the filet, filled my mouth.

“delicious……”

Chew, swallow,

“delicious……!”

 I’m moved.

There wasn’t even salt and pepper, so the only flavor you get is the ingredients. However, I can do it. It’s amazing.

“Rabbit meat is bland like chicken filet, but rabbit from another world has a little bit of fat and sweetness…”

Does it look a bit like a duck?

　Still, it’s really delicious.

　Available materials.

A bonfire, a stone slab, and fresh rabbit meat.

That doesn’t mean I cut corners; I prepared everything from the preparation of the fire, let alone the meat.

Cooking in solo camp can be pretty random. Yet, for some reason, the bonfire magic makes it taste delicious.

This time, I even added the effect of using meat that I hunted and butchered. There’s no way it wouldn’t be delicious.

This is the perfect soto recipe.

“…I have no choice but to grill the thigh meat as well.”

Add more meat to the stone slab. The thigh meat from the hind legs is the most filling part of a quadruped.

The meat is grilling with a sizzling sound.

The heat of a warm bonfire. The sound of burning firewood.

Time to just wait for it to bake without worrying about anyone.

“Since when has eating been so much fun?”

It reminds me of a long time ago when I lived in the countryside.

For the first time in a while, I was filled with the feeling of being alive.

After eating a surprising amount of meat, I finally felt comfortable.

“Should I pick some wildflowers tomorrow?”

It looked exactly the same, and there was grass that looked like Japanese grass growing on it, so it looked like it would be good to eat. I ate it in my previous life too.

Above all, I feel like I “know” that I can eat it.

Is this because of the goddess, or is it just my imagination? Let’s believe that it’s probably God’s 

power. If it doesn’t work, it’s just an assumption.

“For now, I have three weeks to spare, Yosh!”

There is something called the 3 rules of survival.

3 hours if body temperature cannot be maintained.

3 days without water.

Without food, you will die in three weeks.

The items I was able to prepare today correspond exactly to each other.

Clothes, shelter, and bonfire. Measures against cold.

Boiled river water. Secure drinking water.

Rabbit meat. Secure food.

The fact that I was able to get everything exactly right on the first day was entirely due to .

Even though I was on a camping trip, I wasn’t exhausted, but instead I felt relaxed as I was making dishes like plates, chopsticks, and forks.

I also put a lot of effort into making my bed more comfortable by laying out bark sheets, and peeling off large pieces of bark from large trees and fixing them to the outer wall of the shelter.

“I want to make better walls and tableware.”

That’s what I was thinking while drinking water from a square bark pot.

I heard the sound of crunching on leaves, so I stopped eating and grabbed my cane. I was wary of the horned rabbit or some other beast attacking me again.

The entire outer wall of the shelter is a CF sheet that is ‘fixed’. It will protect you no matter what.

In case of an emergency, all you have to do is jump in there and ‘fix’’ the bed sheet in front of you, and all-around protection is complete. I am prepared.

but,

“…I told you not to come anymore.”

There was a puppy that had shown its face even during the day. After letting out a cry, he runs up to me.

It’s pretty close. If you lean forward a little and reach out your hand, you can touch it. I’ve been missed.

The puppy sat flat on the spot.

 What should I do.

“The fact that you’re still wandering means…that elf couldn’t meet you?”

Since each dog has its own personality, there are some that occasionally get separated from the pack or their owners just for fun.

Apparently, this guy has a troubled personality.

“It was running looking for you, that elf.”

Even though I said that, I reached out my hand to the puppy who just had a casual look on his face.

“Here, come here.”

The puppy came over as I was told. When I hold out my fist, he sniffs and licks it.

The puppy was enthusiastically sniffing my hand, and when I looked closely, I saw that it had a ribbon tied around its neck. That elf must have rolled it.

“…Elf, what should I do?”

There were other humans in this forest besides me.

No, it’s not human. Because he’s an elf.

Well, however,

“Do you want to eat meat?”

Even if you feed it, it’s not feeding the wild, so it’s probably okay.

A puppy happily eats the offered rabbit meat.

The sky is already dark, so that elf probably won’t be able to come see me today.

“I’ll look for your owner tomorrow, when it’s light.”

Although he said this, the puppy was eating the thigh meat wholeheartedly. I haven’t heard it.

However, the fact that he exposes his unprotected eating body within arm’s reach is proof that he has a lot of trust in him. I’m sure he’ll become a friend to spend the night with.

Let’s look for it after it gets light. –It looks like you won’t have to endure the cold outside air alone during the darkness.

The puppy finished eating the meat and looked up at me. When I reached out to touch its fluffy face and stroked its chin, it barked happily.

My dear.

That night, I ended up sleeping with a warm ball of fur on my chest.

That night, I thought it would be impossible to live with a dog unless I lived in a detached house, but it became a reality at Sabakan.

Thank you, Goddess.

I fell asleep with something warm in my heart, satisfied with the day’s accomplishments.
