Chapter 68: The Tools are not Weapon
「Umm, hammer and nails and saw…… How bothersome, the nailgun and the electric
saw will be better. It might be fine if it’s that two.」(Kazura)
Kazura, who had returned to the room, took out power tools
from a toolbox packed inside a large cardboard box.
At first, he thought to use a hammer and a saw for the
work, but right now it would take too much time using those tools.
Though the sounds were a bit conspicuous, but it was
already dark, no other human presence nearby, and he also had an electric
generator.
It will be convenient for him if the work finished
faster by using power tools.
Kazura placed the power tools, lighting tools and
other implements inside a nearby empty cardboard box, and then carried it
towards the courtyard.
✧✦✧✦
「Kazura-sama, is there anything I can do to help you?」(Maid)
「Thank you very much. I can handle this so it’s fine…… Hm?」(Kazura)
While he was walking in the corridor while carrying
the box, he met a maid that happened to pass by, who then opened the door
towards the courtyard for him.
Then while he said his thanks and pass through the
door, he saw several objects flying in the night sky.
「What’s that? Birds?」(Kazura)
Kazura looked up at the night sky and muttered those
words. Then, the maid who noticed this looked up at Kazura’s line of sight.
「Ah, those are bats. Since the light from the torches and candles in the Estate
is brighter than the town, it came to eat the flying insects that were attracted
by the light.」 (Maid)
「Eeh? So it’s bats. What a number.」(Kazura)
When he looked closely at the sky, there was a
considerable number of bats flying around.
If there was such large amount of bats then the flying
insects that were gathered at the Estate might be more tremendous.
Together with the maid, Kazura stared at the night sky
for a while. When he came to himself again, he fixed the cardboard box he
carried in his arms and then walked towards the courtyard where Isaac and Root were
waiting.
✧✦✧✦
Kazura returned to where Isaac and Root were, put the cardboard
box on the ground, and then took out the power tools and LED lantern.
Again, this might be just a mere consolation for his
mind, but they put the wooden boards leaning the generator and the cart at his surroundings
and made a simple covered space between it and the building.
「Well then, since I don’t want this to take much time, let’s finish this
quickly.」(Kazura)
He put the switched on LED lantern nearby, and then
manipulated the switch at the generator so that it gave out the maximum output.
At the moment he did this, the low sounds that the
generator had produced until now, suddenly became louder, that the surroundings
began to reverberate with the loud roaring sound.
Disregarding Root who opened his eyes in surprise from
this noise and Isaac who was looking around restlessly, Kazura took out the
power cord for the electric saw and then plugged it into the generator.
The electric saw that Kazura held was a circular saw
type, it was a type where the circular blade will rotate at high speed to cut
the material.
「Y-yes.」(Isaac)
After he received the square lumbers from Isaac, he
placed them on the ground with a space between them.
This served as a simple pedestal for cutting boards.
Next, the boards that he received from Isaac were
placed perpendicularly at the square lumber pedestals.
The board thickness was about 2 centimeters, its width
was about 30 centimeters and its length was more than 2 meters.
As it is, the board was too big, so it must be cut
into suitable sizes.
With the measuring tape and permanent marker taken from
the cardboard box, he measured precisely one meter and then put a marker to it.
Then pinning the board with his knee, and applied the
blade of the electric saw he held with both of his hand at the edge of the
board.
「Alright, let’s quickly cut this. I will cut the board continuously so please
prepare the next board. Since I will cut about 20 boards.」(Kazura)
Kazura made his order and then began to activate the
electric saw and cut the board.
The high-speed rotating blade let out its distinctive
cutting sound, the wood chips scattered around as it began to cleave through
the board.
Together with his father, Shinji, Kazura had used the
power tools before to make wooden compost box for the field fertilizer back in
his home, so he knew how to use an electric saw.
Since Shinji had repeated time and time again, that it
could result in serious injury if one’s not careful, Kazura knew this risk by
heart.
「W-what is……」(Isaac)
Isaac and Root were staring intensely at how the board
was cut so easily with astonishment.
To cut this sort of timber in this world, generally
one will use a bronze or copper pull saw.
Because it was a pull saw, it took a lot of time to
cut the board, if someone does not use it right, it was normal that the blade
would bend.
As if to perfectly negate that common sense, the bulky
board in front them right now, was being cut with a ruthless power by that
small mysterious tools.
Isaac had understood that the tools that Kazura owned have
an out of common sense ability, but the
event happening in front of his eyes had crossed his imagination by far
distance.
「The next one please.」(Kazura)
「A, yes!」(Isaac)
Kazura, who had finished cutting the board in 10
seconds, requested the next board, so Isaac and Root presented the next board
to Kazura in hurry.
Kazura received the board presented to him and then piles
it on top of the board that he had just cut, then he put a mark next to the
section that had been cut.
Then, once again the electric saw began to cut the
board.
「Hmm, this will still waste too much time. Isaac-san, please bring those two
square timbers and place it here.」(Kazura)
Kazura, who had cut the second board, stopped his work
and called out to Isaac.
「Will this place suffice?」(Isaac)
「Yes, that’s will be fine. But it’s a bit too long. Let’s cut it.」(Kazura)
Receiving the square timber that Isaac brought, he
measured the length with the tape and then cut it with the electric saw.
In the blink of an eye, two 1.5 meters long square
timbers had been made.
「While I am cutting the board, I want Isaac-san to construct the shed’s wall
using this tool. I will explain how to use it, so please look at this.」(Kazura)
Kazura placed the square timbers that had just been cut
on the ground with a 1-meter space between them, then he placed the boards that
he had cut before atop of it, and then he took out a nailgun from the cardboard
box placed nearby.
This nailgun was a spring type, it was different from
air pressure type that needs to be connected to a compressed air hose to be
used.
Its source of power was a battery and its nail load
was 100.
「This is what is called as nailgun, it’s a tool to drive a nail into a
board without using a hammer. I can also be called as a nailer machine.」[2](Kazura)
While grasping that Isaac was listening to Kazura’s
explanation with a serious expression, Kazura pushed the nailgun on the part of
the board where it met with the square timber.
「Press this part and then the nail will be driven into the board. Please be
careful so it won’t be driven slantwise.」(Kazura)
Kazura explained and pointed at the nailgun’s trigger,
then Isaac kneeled down and brought his face close to nailgun to see it and
then nodded.
「Since I will show how it’s work, please watch this.」(Kazura)
The nailgun was placed perpendicularly at the board
and the trigger was pulled. *bash*. With a slight sound, the nail had been
instantly driven into the board.
「Kinda like this. Place the board atop of the square timber to build the
shed’s wall, while I’m cutting the board, Isaac-san please use that nailgun to
construct the wall.」(Kazura)
「I understand…… What a wonderful tool this is.」(Isaac)
Isaac received the nailgun from Kazura, then looked at
its shape with an admiring sight.
The figure of him placing his fingers on the trigger
was strangely looked appropriate.
「Ah, more or less it has a mechanism where the nail won’t come out if it
doesn’t being pressed against a board, but since it is dangerous, don’t point
it at a person. Just in case something happens.」(Kazura)
「Yes. I will pay attention to it.」(Isaac)
Kazura warned him, so Isaac nodded and removed his
finger from the nailgun’s trigger.
Power tools are convenient things, but there is a risk
of the mistake in its use might cause serious injury.
So a thorough caution was necessary when handling it.
「Then, shall we start? By splitting the work, it will finish faster.」(Kazura)
And so, Kazura and Root was cutting the wood, while Isaac
was building the wall. With this role division, the work continues.
✧✦✧✦
One hour later.
Thanks to the power tools, the construction work
progressed favorably, in front of the three people a 1-meter side square box, or
rather, a small shed for the generator had been finished.
The small shed’s opening had copper hinges attached to
it, it was a single door type.
This hinge was something that had been requested to
Root, who then searched throughout the Estate to obtain it.
The lock was also something procured from the Estate,
a bronze padlock was fasten to it.
The small lock that the three had made, was placed on
top of four pillars driven into the ground, there was a 10 centimeters gap
between the wall and the ground surface.
A generator in operation will release carbon monoxide.
So that it could be ventilated by the wind, they created a gap.
The pillars at the ground were buried about 40
centimeters deep, the base had been threaded down solidly, so it would be hard
to dig it up.
The roof was also been covered with the board without
any gaps, which then tightly fixed with nails.
「Ah, so tired. One thing or another, it had taken quite a time……」(Kazura)
「That is true. But if not for these tools then it won’t be finished by
midnight. As expected, the tools from God’s Realm is amazing.」(Isaac)
In contrast with Kazura who looked at the small shed
with a tired expression, Isaac sounds energetic.
Root’s face was also a bit tired, but compared to
Kazura, he was still looked better.
「By the way, I thought that there would be someone who will come and see the
situation when they heard the sound, but it looks like no one came. Even though
the electric saw made such loud noise.」(Kazura)
「Come to think of it, this is true. The loud sound should be conspicuous……
Hm?」(Isaac)
When they were talking, they looked at the surrounding
and noticed that someone was walking from the residence.
「Kazura-sama, has the work finished?」(Havel)
「Ah, Havel-san. It was finished just by now…… Eh, had I mentioned about the
work in this place to you?」(Kazura)
After they returned to Nelson’s Estate from the
fields, Havel was entrusted to tidying the carts and carriages, so he shouldn’t
be informed about the work of constructing the small shed.
Perhaps he had seen Kazura’s group working at the
small shed from somewhere?
「You hadn’t. I didn’t hear anything about the work, but there was a loud
sound coming from the direction of Kazura-sama’s room…… So I have been
detaining people who gathered to check the situation.」(Havel)
It seems that Havel had been clearing people out for all
this hour so that Kazura’s group could work easier.
In spite of the sounds that they scattered during the
work, there was no one visiting them, this was all thanks to Havel who had done
many things at places unseen from them.
「Umm, I am really sorry, but when Kazura-sama does this kind of work in the
future, please kindly inform us beforehand…… Since if we had been informed
beforehand then Nelson-sama’s order can be transmitted to the whole Estate and
then no one will dare to approach.」(Havel)
「…… Umm…… I see, I’m sorry……」(Kazura)
「Ah, please, no! Please do not apologize! Since it’s already night, there
were only a few maids and guards that came to check the situation!」(Havel)
Kazura made a dejected expression, so Havel quickly
made a proper follow-up response.
Beside Kazura, Isaac and Root too, made a dejected expression
like him.
✧✦✧✦
At the same time.
Zirconia, who had returned to Nelson’s Estate from
Leveson’s Mansion, was ordering the servants to convert a storage room inside
the Estate into Marie’s room.
In Japanese term, the room will be 8 tatamis wide, the
interior was normally filled with several unused tables or shelves.
When Zirconia was looking at the servants carrying the
furniture out one by one, Marie came running from the corridor in a hurry.
「Please forgive me for being late! Did Zirconia-sama called me?」(Marie)
Marie arranged her breath and nervously bowed her head
down to Zirconia.
「There is no need to be that rushed, so it’s alright. Please raise your
head.」(Zirconia)
Zirconia spoke out in a soft tone as if to calm Marie
down. Marie raised her head although she was still a bit scared.
“Had I done something wrong?”, she was extremely
worried.
「From today, this will be your room. Then, you will be appointed to be
Kazura-san’s servant. From hereafter, please attend to Kazura-san’s daily
needs. Of course, you will also work as a personal cook.」(Zirconia)
「W-!? U-understood!」(Marie)
Suddenly being allocated to a new room and appointed
to new duties, Marie was bewildered, but she still replied vigorously while
bowing her head down.
She completely didn’t understand what is happening
with the sudden events but he understood that something amazing had unexpectedly
happened.
Of course, Marie didn’t have a position that can
reprove Zirconia, no matter what she said, Marie could only answer, 「Yes.」
「I don’t know how long this will be, but you have been loaned temporarily to
Istelle House. Since this had been talked with Nord, please be at ease.」(Zirconia)
「Yes! Understood.」(Marie)
「Also, all of your personal articles had been retrieved, so there was no
need for you to return to Leveson’s house. Clothes and furniture will also be
provided, please use it from now on. Your monthly wage will be 1000 Ar.」(Zirconia)
「……Eh!?」(Marie)
「Because any sundry expense will be deducted from that money, the money you
receive will be less. Since you might not understand much of the environment, you
and one more person will be assigned as Kazura-san’s official servants. Please
ask all things that you don’t know to that girl. Since that girl has been
working in the Estate for more than 10 years, she should have understood anything
you asked.」(Zirconia)
“Wage” was an unexpected word, so Marie was surprised
and hardly made a move.
Up until now, Marie was, more or less, received a wage
from Leveson House, but that was just a meager salary in such amount that
whether or not it exist wouldn’t matter at all.
And then, this place had a high salary of 1000 Ar per
month.
Furthermore, she was allocated a personal room inside
of the Estate[3], this
was a generous arrangement.
Really, what just happened was incomprehensible.
By the way, the salary of 1000 Ar per month was the
same amount given as the wages for Isteria guards or new recruit soldiers.
「If you save the money properly, then you might redeem yourself and released
from slavery. Depending on your work, I plan to increase the salary too, so do
your best.」(Zirconia)
「Y-yes……」(Marie)
Perhaps because to be able to redeem herself didn’t
seem real for her, Marie was just nodding blankly.
「Ah, also.」(Zirconia)
Though she had completely forgotten this since they
were talking about the terms and the salary, but Zirconia remembered something
that she has to be said.
Just for caution’s sake, as more or less, it might
become a trouble if she didn’t say it.
「Since you may be ordered by Kazura-san to attend him in the night, so always
keep your body clean. If you need it, just give me a notice as I will give you
special permission to use the bath.」(Zirconia)
Receiving yet another unexpected order, Marie had a
cramp on her face.

Wait… what are you
talking about Zirconia? Kazura-san is not a lolicon (perhaps).

ReplyDeleteNight attentant q.q .... poor Marie...
ReplyDeleteHe will make her sleep in his bed, while being shy and running off with some excuse....
she was told to be ready if he asked for her not that she should wait for him in the bedroom, it will probably be brought up due to marie now becoming overly conscious of him but it should not cause any issues.
DeleteI wonder if the nail gun was for brad nails or regular nailer. Can't help but be fixated on that for some reason.
ReplyDeleteAlso started to read the manga adaptation and I am thoroughly enjoying Valleta's cuteness overload, although releases are slow just like they are everywhere.
