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

　Mystia and I were standing in front of the corpse of that monster bird called Storm Griffin.

When a demon beast becomes strong enough, it begins to have a stone called a magic stone inside its body. The stone is housed in a meat sack attached to the side of the heart, which is also a vital point. That’s what she said.

It would be a waste to just throw away such a huge body. When I asked if it could be dismantled and put to good use, that’s what Mystia explained.

It seems that magic stones are small and light, but have high value, so they should be collected.

Then, Mystia examined the bag next to the heart,

“It fell apart beautifully.”

“Next time, I’ll aim for the head.”

“Be careful. If it’s the head, some opponents won’t die right away.”

The monster bird’s magic stone had been shattered by one blow from the .

At first glance, it looks like a bluish crystal or quartz stone.

“Maybe I should give this to this kid. Okay?”

“It’s good, but”

I don’t think I’ll be able to eat it.

Mystia offers a small piece of the broken magic stone to the puppy. The puppy eats a stone from the elf’s hand while wagging its tail and crunches it into pieces.

“I guess you’re eating something like that…”

Is that what you were eating when I gave you rabbit innards?

“Even if it’s small, this child is a magical beast. It seems that this child’s parents were attacked while it was still in the womb, and it was born prematurely. We need to incorporate a lot of magical power into it.”

Is it something like a nutritious dog snack?

“That’s right, Soujiro. Please choose a name for this child.”

“Me? Even though Mystia picked it up.”

“It seems like it would be more beneficial to have your name on the Divine Seal Regalia.”

I wonder if that’s what it is.

I make eye contact with the puppy. Those round eyes look like they are waiting for me.

“Your name is Matsukaze.”

When I said that, Matsukaze, now a puppy, let out a high-pitched cry.

“What is its origin?”

“It’s a name known as a great horse in my world.”

Matsukaze is the favorite horse of Masaru Maeda, who is known as a eccentric person. It is said that he was a very fine horse.

“That’s right. That’s good, Matsukaze.”

There is an anecdote that Maeda Makoto tricked his uncle Toshiie into bathing him in cold water, and then took advantage of the opportunity to steal it. Well, that seems to be a story created later.

…I can’t say that I was reminded of Mystia, who was attacked while taking a bath.

Then, Mystia lined up a row of knife-like black lumps.

“Another thing that could be used is a claw. Griffin’s claw has the power of purification. If you draw water and put the claw in it, it won’t hurt your stomach, and if you wash the wound, it will heal faster. If you leave it in there, it won’t spoil, and you can store it as raw meat for several weeks.It’s convenient, isn’t it?”

“That’s good.…Can you wash your hair and hands?”

“of course”

Griffin’s all-purpose soap-like claws. It would be nice if at least one more came.

“What about meat?”

“It’s not poisonous, so you can eat it. It smells really bad though.”

I will refrain from doing so.

“Can I have half of the claws?”

“Eh, it’s all Soujirou, so that’s fine, right?”

　That makes me feel uncomfortable.

“It’s just a matter of daily precautions. If it’s half and half, you’ll be able to help me if I lose it.”

“…Ehehe, then let’s do that.”

Mystia laughed and quickly tied her nails together. They each took four nails tied together with string as their trophies.

Suddenly, I noticed that Matsukaze had picked up a huge flight feather in its mouth and was tearing it into pieces by shaking its head.

I would like to be able to put these feathers to good use someday.

“Matsukaze, in moderation.”

When I called out to him, the puppy barked and ran towards me.

　It seems you have already memorized the name. wise.

“You know, Soujiro. I have to move here and build a new base…if you don’t mind, could you let me build one near where Soujiro is?”

Mystia says that to me while I’m stroking Matsukaze.

“I’d miss Matsukaze so much that I think I would like to visit him. So, okay?”

“HM……”

It’s sad to say goodbye to Matsukaze, who I loved so much. Also, I get salt from Mystia, and she teaches me about the forest and the claws of monster birds, and she’s been a great help to me.

Currently, there is no reason to refuse.

If I had to say anything, the only thing I would say is that I feel like I might want to take it easy.

It’s like a mental habit that is tired from a previous life.

When you get involved with someone, you end up having more troubles, they take advantage of you, you get tired, and your time is taken away. That painful memory is still stuck deep in my heart and hasn’t left me.

“Besides, Soujirou feels reassured when I’m around.”

Mystia added as my gaze wandered.

“? What do you mean?”

“If you were a human in another world, you might be surprised in this one, right? If I’m here, you can rely on me in those times.”

“Can you explain it to me?”

When I asked, Mystia proudly puffed out her chest and said this.

“Together, I will surprise you.”

“what is that!”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

“I was surprised to meet the Divine Seal in the Divine Tree Forest. I didn’t even know about the sacred treasure called ! Wow, I was surprised! You were also surprised when you saw me, right?”

Hearing that, I nodded with a still-uncontrollable smile on my face.

“That’s right. It was my first time meeting an elf. I was surprised.”

“I knew it! But don’t worry! Actually, at that time, I was surprised too! I thought, Wow, a human!! I’m with you! Ahahaha!”

“Ah ha ha!”

Lured by Mystia’s laughter, I opened my mouth and laughed.

And inside I was surprised at myself.

…I wonder when it’s been since I laughed out loud like this.

Eventually, we stopped laughing and our eyes met,

“Right? It’s okay.”

When Mystia said this with a pleasant smile, I realized that my hesitation had cleared up.

…I guess I was reborn.

It’s changed so dramatically that my heart hasn’t kept up with it.

The goddess said. “It will help your strength and happiness.”

I was rejuvenated, gained a sacred treasure, and even met a pleasant person. Now, faced with such good fortune, I suddenly feel like stopping.

I’m shrinking back, fearing unfounded misfortune that I don’t even have a clue about in the future.

Let’s accept it more easily. This is the first step.

“Mystia”

“yeah?”

“Rather, I’ll ask it from you. I also want to see Matsukaze and the beautiful elf every day.”

It must be difficult to survive while growing Matsukaze.

I want to help you with that. I decided to obediently follow that humanity within me.

When you age in a twisted way, it becomes difficult to do honest good deeds. But now is the chance to start over.

“Eh, heh, you’re so beautiful. You’re so embarrassed.”

Mystia blushed and picked up Matsukaze and came next to him.

“Well then, good luck from now on. Soujirou.”

The elf patted me on the shoulder, and I nodded in response.

“Thank you very much.”

So, Mystia and I decided to become neighbors.
