“Huh? Are you and Miss Rike staying behind?” Karen asked in surprise.

“Hmm?” After a delay, I realized what she was asking and nodded. “Oh, right, yeah. Rike and I don’t go hunting.”

We’d been invited out on several occasions, and neither of us had any issues in terms of stamina, but we didn’t want to drag the rest of them down. Thus, we’d chosen to stay behind. I’d once gone hunting with only Samya, but I wasn’t used to wielding a bow and our prey had almost escaped.

I’d never used a bow in my past life. The fact that I’d been able to hit my target without my arrow flying off to nowhere must’ve been thanks to the Watchdog, who’d given me the bare minimum in terms of combat abilities. Still, there was a right man for every role—for example, it was best for the baker to bake the bread. In other words, I left hunting to the pros of the Black Forest like Samya, and anyone who wished to tag along could do so.

Karen seemed a bit reluctant to depart, but after much encouragement, she finally left while carrying a bow. I had her also bring Hayate along, just in case anything happened.

Until now, we hadn’t had a means of communication over long distances—I’d only been able to anxiously wait for the party to return, and if something had ever happened on their hunt, I wouldn’t have known. I was sure that everyone was safe around the cabin, but if they ventured any farther, they could risk getting lost.

But since Hayate was with them this time, she would surely fly her way back to let Rike and me know if something was amiss. Even if she didn’t have a letter on her, the fact that she returned would imply that an emergency had occurred, and that was already more useful than just waiting around and hoping for the best.

It reminded me of my life back on Earth when my parents had made me carry a pager (which later became a cell phone) in case of emergencies. This must’ve been how they felt.

I returned to the cabin alongside Rike and stretched my limbs out. “All right then, we should do some work, hmm?”

We would only need a week—or perhaps only three to four days—to fulfill Camilo’s order, so we had plenty of time to spare. Regardless, it didn’t hurt to forge them in advance. Then, if we had some free time, we could go out on a little trip or teach Karen some smithing (though Rike would bear the brunt of the work on that end). We could also just live as we saw fit.

We’d completed our morning prayers before everyone had left to hunt. I entered the forge and lit the firebed. The flames started to roar and grow hotter until the firebed was at the perfect temperature for the metal. I grabbed a sheet using the tongs and slid it into the fire. When the metal became hot enough, I placed it on the anvil and started hammering away to form my desired shape.
