Kajiya de Hajimeru Isekai Slow Life - Vol. 6 Ch. 26

[frubam]

Who's Aimul again? I forgot after so long.

Its the house Diana and her brother are apart of(hence the text on the left side of the last page).

Rushing things doesn't help unless you can actually do it at that speed without losing quality.

"And Samia's all fluffy, too."

She's got fluffy ears, tail, and a bit on her arms, otherwise she's like everyone else. That doesn't make a huge difference. Unless it's a chibi picture, since then she's just almost full tiger.

"If anyone ever says anything about you being dwarfish, the folks at Eizo Workshop won't stand for it."

So what's wrong with being a bit dwarfish if you're a dwarf?

"All of it is so refined—it might not be very interesting to perform it here."

That's not refined, that's just boring. If it's refined and interesting in its normal place, it's interesting there too.

Wonder if Krull feeds on mana that's denser where they live.

I guess if you've go overpowered magic smithing skills, you get to also skip doing things properly (cough*like doing some really basic research on how to weaponsmith*cough).

That's kinda where it's at, I believe. Magic to skip parts or do things in an easier way.

There's not nearly enough Rike love here. I believe in cute dwarf supremacy.

 

[jasty]

Thanks for the update! Really like this series. That scene with Rike being embarrassed about dwarven singing was so cute and relatable.

 

[HaikenEdge]

I'm confused. Why are they making molds for the swords? Are they made of bronze or something? I was sure he was using iron/steel for his blades, which should be forged, not cast, if you want them to be more than sword shaped pieces of garbage.

I bitched about this the first time MC used molds to make swords.

I think it's because the author doesn't actually know shit about smithing.

 

[kenkagejack]

I wonder if the LN has the same information on blacksmithing as the manga adaptation. The copy-pasted sword asset isn't helping the artist's case. Eizo's putting the entire sword asset into the forge.

 

[KilTor5]

Full of fluff and waifus. Thanks for the chapter

 

[TheBigMonk]

Thanks for the chapter!

tfw no tanned, muscled dwarf gf

 

[ciera]

Thank you for the scanlation

It's been a hot minute so I'm not 100% on this but from what I recall he does molded steel swords for the mass production models. And more traditional billet/hammering for the quality pieces.

 

[captain_crunch]

Did the merchant fully answer the question about what the army was going to do? An expeditionary force heading out, to do what? 10 days for a monster or bandit hunt, or 10 days for a quick war? Short wars and special military operations can end up taking longer than expected

 

[koga88]

Needed some more sweaty Samia. Not enough sweaty tiger girls after Pulchra.

 

[Zelfic]

p.3: Samia does not have to do the deburring... or does she? Current text makes no sense.

「サーミャは鋳型バリ取りも今日はやらなくていい」

It says that she doesn't have to do it/can skip it for that day.

 

[Seetee]

Thank you for the translation!

Wonder if Krull feeds on mana that's denser where they live.

This sounds like a thing. Something related to the nature of the MC or his house.

Yep, it's a fun read but it kills me a little bit every time I remember that this manga does the whole "casting longswords" trope in fantasy filmmaking.

Casting iron weapons is still doable, the only real issue is that it will barely hold an edge. Abut another rather important factor to remember hails back from the very first chapters. This guy is a "Cheat Magic" Blacksmith. This means that, with no real prior experience himself, he could just heat up a lump of steel and smack it a bunch, and the metal would magically shape itself to his will.

Not a Blacksmith myself by any means, but it seems their Order of Operations is something like this:
Liquify Metal (presumably steel) > Cast Sword Blank > Hammer and Refine Blank into Usable Blade > Sharpen and Finalize Blade, Cross guard and Scabbard.

Is casting a steel blade bad? Yes, as a molten metal, steel is not as fluid as iron and nowhere near the level of bronze or copper. They can use the hammering step above as a means of taking cast steel and Magic BS them into usable blades that will probably be better than anything any other blacksmith could make?

 

[popinloopy]

Thank you for the chapter!

 

[Xerlith]

I'm still laughing at the idea of mold casting fucking steel swords.

 

[Jakeh24]

Thought marius was a count? Probably remembering wrong
