It’s been three months since the expansion of the house . Almost half a year has pa.s.sed since the carriage accident .

 My hair has grown quite a bit, and it was now long enough to reach my shoulders . The bangs were annoying though .

 It was summer now in this world . But the surroundings were quiet .

 My lifestyle was now stable, so next was the matter of clothing .

 Until recently, I was wearing the same clothes I had made when I was experimenting with my skills a few months ago .

 Since I had been wearing it for several months now, the fabric had become worn out, so I decided to make new clothes . What type of cloth did I use? Well, no, I used wood .

 Or rather, I used the cellulose extracted from the wood……no, never mind, forget about the details . It’s difficult to explain . Anyways, I managed to make them with [Creation Magic] .

 While I was making clothes, I obtained the skill [Apparel] and became able to make somewhat elaborate designs . If I leveled this skill, would I be able to make more complex embroideries?

 Right now, I was planting vegetables in the garden . I used to have an indoor garden at my parent’s house, but since I couldn’t recall all the steps, I decided to plant easier to grow ones .

 What about the seeds? [Creation Magic] took care of that . 1 Plus, the MP consumption was very low . But a fully grown plant would cost a lot of MP .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt

 I first started off with radishes, then expanded to cherry tomatoes, mitsuba, spinach, green beans, okra, shiso,2 and such . I’ve already harvested the fast growing vegetables multiple times . And they were absolutely delicious!

 After three months I’ve become familiarized with the process, and was now considering starting new projects . Earth magic sure is convenient . I also left fertilizers and pesticides to [Creation Magic] . If I ignore the MP cost, magic was quite an all-rounder . No, I will ignore it . It’s very useful .

 I also obtained fire and light attribute magic . Although the light was just used to light the house and the fire was just used for cooking purposes . No matter, there wasn’t any harm in obtaining them .

 I also went to investigate the site of the carriage accident once in the past three months .

 All the luggage I hadn’t taken was gone . It’s likely the bandits took them afterwards . The bodies were all rotten and smelled awful .

 ……Although I could’ve been discovered by the bandits, I decided to bury everything . Though the time was short, they were my travel partners . More than anything, the ethics of my past self were aching . I left the broken carriage alone for the time being .

 Due to the recent troubles I had more to think about .

“I want to eat meat . ”

 That’s right, meat . Protein .

 Didn’t I have supplements to make up for the nutritional balance? That’s unrelated! Meat is meat! But using [Creation Magic] to make it would cost too much .

 I knew how to cook . Since in my previous life, I lived alone and so I had to learn to cook for myself . If I have the ingredients, then cooking with [Creation Magic] would also cost less .

 So in other words, I’m saying that I need to hunt in order to get meat .

 Unfortunately, I was a bit lacking . My only weapon was a knife .

 The sharpness had been enhanced with [Creativity Magic], but even so the range is still too short . If I were to go against a wild boar or something, I would be dead with one hit . Rather, I don’t even think this body is physically capable of hunting .

 ……Should I set up traps? No, I’m not too familiar with how to build them . Even so, with magic I should be able to somehow manage, but then there’s the problem of where to set the traps up . I was unfamiliar with how to look for animal trails .

 As such, I could only search and attack .

 I would prefer to use a long-range weapon . So I head towards an open area .

 First up, a bow . I made one on the spot . The structure was simple . Since I used [Creation Magic] to make it, it should be fairly accurate . I tried pulling on it and……I found out I couldn’t . I was too weak .

 Next up, a crossbow . I should be able to figure out the structure .

 ……But unfortunately, not enough MP!

 It would seem the structure was still too complex . My max MP was only 80 at the moment .

 Then, some kind of projectile weapon . But I would need one that was capable of taking down large animals .

 If it was a small animal, I could just use a sling which I could make immediately with a cloth of the right length . It’s sometimes easy to forget, but I was living in a dangerous forest . It’s a place where dangerous monsters and animals would appear if it weren’t for the monster-repellants .

 A long-range weapon that could penetrate the thick hide of an animal .

 ……A gun? I understood the basic structure . I also shot one before . Well, in my previous life . But the structure is probably still too complex . In the first place, I couldn’t even make a crossbow . It might be possible to make the crossbow if I didn’t have to make the part that pulls the string . But then it wouldn’t work . Should I try making them separately then a.s.semble it? Let’s try it out . Unfortunately, I couldn’t make the drawstring component . I give up .

 Is there any other way?

 I placed my hand on my chin and began stroking it as I thought . It was a habit of my previous self . But the stubble… . . my beard… . wasn’t there . I’m a girl now, so of course I don’t have a beard!

 Let’s just focus and think again . Hmm, in my previous life… . . there was an anime I saw before . A king with golden armor that was able to summon forth flying swords . 3

 Ah, but to begin with, how would you make the swords fly forwards after summoning them?

 Perhaps propel them forward with kinetic energy……

 ……Kinetic energy? Maybe that’s it .

 I knew those hobbies of mine would come in handy . Let’s test it out with [Creation Magic]

 But creating the weapons……right, it would cost too much . I did have a lot of leftover stones in storage from the time I was expanding my house .

 Next up, kinetic energy . It would be some form of intangible energy . I tried forming it and sent a stone flying forward . The MP cost was low . But it felt like the speed was a bit slow, so let’s try increasing the power .

 In order for it to penetrate the skin of an animal……it would have to be 200mph? If I remember correctly, the speed of a bullet from a handgun would be around 400mph? And a rifle should be about double, I think some guns can even go above 1400mph .

 ……It’s probably better not to overdo it . Even if I managed to hit it, I wouldn’t be able to eat if the prey explodes .

 For now, let’s just start with 200mph and 400mph . It flew without any problems at 200mph . The MP cost was small, at a mere 1MP . 400mph cost 5MP .

 Now like a rifle, let’s try 800mph . It cost 20MP . How painful…

“……Is this alright? Can I get meat now?”

 After finishing preparations, I decided to go hunting tomorrow .
