fun!”

I hold a bag of wheat seeds in my hand, and with a right click of the mouse, I instantly sow the seeds in a square meter of rows, and they germinate instantly, producing green sprouts.
Sow the seeds.
It germinates.
Sow a seed.
It germinates.
It’s very, very fun.

“Hey, I’ve shot all the… eh, fields? Eh? How come?”

Jagira, who has a bolt-action rifle hanging on her shoulder with a sling, rolls her eyes at the field in front of her, or rather, the ongoing expansion of the field.

“…Your Highness the Princess, the first sprouts are already growing, but…”

“…That’s what Kosuke does.”

Oh no, I have to water it.
I’ve made a watering can, so I’ll use… well water.
I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to drink it, but I think it’s safe to sprinkle a little on the field.

I used both my own speed dash and the command action dash to get the water into the water tank.
I poured some bottled water into the pump and pumped it out.
Oh? What’s with the clear water? Well, I don’t have to worry about the details.
Just start watering!

I went back and forth between the well and the field several times and finished watering all the wheat.
Hmm, this needs improvement.
Maybe I should build a well for the fields and a tank to store rainwater.

No, wait…? If the blocks can float in the air, maybe I can use “that”…? No, but… I don’t think there’s anything like “that”… Should I just try it?

The problem is to find a water source… Oh man, should I have drawn water from the river? Can well water be used instead? I should just give it a try.

I dug a hole 4 meters wide, 4 meters deep, and 2 meters deep next to the field.

“What are you doing?”

“No, I’m just experimenting.”

I put stone wall blocks at the bottom, and then I put stone wall blocks around the edges.
This creates a hole 2 meters wide, 2 meters deep, and 1 meter deep.
Pour water into the hole with a bucket on the diagonal.

“Kosuke?”

“What is it?”

“Why is this hole filled with two buckets of water?”

“Haha, I wonder why.”

As I said this, I filled the empty bucket with water and put it in my inventory.

“I’ve been pumping water into the empty bucket for a while now, but it doesn’t seem to be diminishing.”

“Maybe I’m imagining things.
It’s probably just an optical illusion.”

“No, I don’t think so.”

“Sylphy, this is a well.
It’s a little strange well.
Okay?”

“A-all right.”

Perhaps sensing something in my uncompromising attitude, Sylphy nodded obediently.
She’s a good girl.
I can’t say that I’ve created an infinite water source, so I’ll just say that this is a strange well.

I made it on a whim, but it’s very dangerous.
The source of the water is never-ending, no matter how much you draw.
Isla’s eyes will blank out again.

Speaking of the torch’s never-ending flame, that thing is infinite as a light source, but for some reason, the flame isn’t hot enough for the torch I set up.
When it’s in hand, it can burn other things properly… It’s strange.

“Oops, that’s right.
How’s the rifle, Jagira?”

“I’ve fired all 500 rounds and haven’t had any trouble.
I think the accuracy is almost the same.”

“Seriously? All right, I’ll keep that one.
You take this one.”

“All right.”

I took the bolt-action rifle that had completed 500 rounds of test firing and handed the spare new bolt-action rifle to Jagira.
I think I’ll make a quadruple scope next time.

Even so, there is no problem at all with 500 rounds… and it is difficult to judge whether the original performance is excellent or whether it is the crafted product that I made.
However, it’s a relief to know that it won’t become useless after just one battle.
This is not much of a sample, though.

As I was thinking this while checking the bolt-action rifle I had received from Jagira, Pirna, and Ms.
Zamir also showed up.
They were astonished when they saw the field I had plowed.
It’s a good field, isn’t it?

“Where did this field come from…?”

“It’s already sprouting and growing…”

I bring the two stunned people back to their senses and ask them about their results.
They said that they had decided on the best shape of the handle and the bomb’s weight.

“It’s pretty heavy, you know.
Are you sure you can handle it?”

“That’s about right.
I can go back and forth as many times as I like, about 10 kilometers each way.”

“Hmm, I see.”

The prototype model was made by modifying a dummy stick grenade.
A thicker piece of wood was added to the end of the handle, and it was processed into a T-shape.
I see; it’s easier to hold and throw this way.
A metal weight was added to the grenade’s tip, making the overall weight about four times that of a standard dummy grenade.
It can hold a lot of explosives.
The weight of the grenade is about six times that of a standard dummy grenade.
It’s probably about three kilograms.

“All right, I’ll make some prototypes based on this.
Ms.
Zamir, I want you to think about the design of your mithril weapon.”

“Understood.”

Now that the maintenance of the fort was finished, I would work on weapon development after lunch.
I’ve decided to have Sir Leonard, Ms.
Zamir, Jagira, and Pirna scout the area around the fort.
Sylphy will stay with me.

“Then, we’ll go now.”

“Be careful.”

Since Gizma was basically the only one in the area, the four of them would not fall behind.
I take out the blacksmithing facility and workbench from my inventory and start developing sniper scopes and air bombs for the harpies.

Since I got the Creator skill, item creation has become much easier.
Even if I have a pretty vague idea of what I want, it’s very easy to optimize and create a recipe.
I’ve noticed that items with recipes added by the item creation function take longer to craft than items that are registered from the start, and the materials are heavier.
Well, I guess that’s a reasonable disadvantage.

・Quadruple Scope ― Materials: Glass x 5, Iron x 1, Mechanical Parts x 4

The materials aren’t too heavy.
However, the crafting time is long.
It takes about 30 minutes… Well, it can’t be helped.
Should I make ten of them to use my mass-producer skill? That way, I can save one.

The improved workbench has been filled with scopes, so I’ll make a new, improved workbench.
I have the materials so I can make it quickly.

“ is an air bomb for Harpy.”

I thought about the design while looking at the samples that Pirna and Ms.
Zamir had made for me.
It’s basically for anti-personnel use, so there’s no need to make it shell-shaped, right? The shell should be thicker to improve the fragmentation effect, and the amount of gunpowder should be increased.
The fuse should be the same type, but the string should be improved to make it easier to attach.
I’ll make the weight part into a hook so that it can be fixed just by wrapping it around and hanging the hook.
By the way, the recipe looks like this.

・Hand Stick Grenade ― Materials: Gunpowder x 2, Iron x 1, Wood x 1, Mechanical Parts x 1

・Harpy’s Air Bomb Type 1 ― Materials: Gunpowder x 6 Iron x 3 Wood x 1 Mechanical Parts x 1

It’s three times the cost of the stick grenade… I hope the effect is worth it.
I’ll make about ten of them for now.
I’ll probably make about 30 stick grenades as well.

When I finished reserving my crafting, I looked up and saw Sylphy staring at me with an expression that indicated she wanted to say something.
What is it? She looked troubled and embarrassed.

“What’s going on?”

“Um… are you okay, Kosuke?”

“Okay with what?”

The question is too vague for me to reply to.
There’s nothing hard about it, but…? Rather, I only realized that I’m doing fine and lively.

“Kosuke lived in peace, in a safe country, didn’t he? Well, to be honest with you, I got a little scared.
Bolt action rifles and stick grenades are very powerful weapons.
I hope you don’t think it’s too hard for you to create something like that, even for me.”

“Oh, I see… To be honest, I didn’t think too much about it.”

It’s an honest feeling.
It may be irresponsible, but I found enjoyment in creating powerful weapons until Sylphy told me to do so.
I’m making a weapon that is completely intended for use against people, in other words, a tool for killing people.

“I have a lot of responsibility for what I’m doing if you put it that way.
People in the Holy Kingdom are going to die in droves because of the weapons I’ve made…”

I’m sure I’ll be greatly resented.
In the future, it will be each and every soldier who will directly kill the enemy in the war to come, but I, who make the weapons, will have to bear many times, dozens of times, hundreds of times, or even more deaths than the soldiers.

“I’m destined for hell, aren’t I?”

“Hell?”

“It’s a concept in my world.
There’s a terrifying god called Enma-sama who judges the dead according to their sins and punishes them accordingly.
Of course, it’s not proven to exist.”

I shrugged my shoulders and smiled.
Well, what do you think? I’m starting to wonder if there really is such a thing as a supernatural being in another world.
I don’t know if there really is a hell or something.

“I see, the afterlife… In this world, when a person dies, their soul is said to turn into a star.”

“That sounds rather romantic.”

There are stories of people turning into stars after death, even in my original world.
Orion, for example.

“But if Kosuke is going to this place called Hell, I will be with you.
Because I’m the one who’s forcing Kosuke to make weapons.”

“Should I be happy about that? As for me, I hope I’m the only one who goes to hell.
I can’t bear to see you go to hell too, Sylphy.”

“Even the heaviest of sins is only half as heavy if both of us bear it.
I won’t let Kosuke be the only one to suffer.”

“You’re a kind master.
Then, I’ll do my best to do good deeds so that Enma-sama in hell can lighten my sins as much as possible.”

“Yes, we will.
It’s not only about killing, but also about saving.”

Sylphy smiles at me.
Yes, her smile is always cute.
From now on, I’ll probably kill a lot of people.
But I will save a lot of people for that.
I want Sylphy to keep smiling.
