The Loner Who Conquers the Other World

Day 56 – Daytime.

This is the worst! I was completely unprepared, even though I’m all on my own today, without any allies around, I was totally off guard and careless. Having a day off from the dungeon exploration and with the blacksmith beginning to smith too I was finally released from work and was taking it easy, completely unaware of what was coming.

They already surrounded me, blocking all escape routes, and there is not enough distance from them to get away with Air Walk. It’s a checkmate.

But the worst part is the weapons in their hands.

I never thought that I’d encounter this. I was negligent. I was sure they are a thing of the past.

That’s why I let my guard down. I removed them from the list of the enemies I tracked with Detect Presence. Because I thought they were no more. Because I thought that no one had these anymore.

That is… Without a doubt the worst weapon. That’s right, order forms!

「I was working through the night to construct the village? I kept working, despite how horny I felt? I was working basically locked in a fierce battle with the horniness that burned akin to the raging flames of eros? I was pretty sure I’d get scolded if we started doing it in the fields, so I held back? Doing my best until the morning, fighting off the 108 spirits of worldly desires, all 108 of which turned out to be Lust. And the 109th immediately popped up as well? Lust-san was really stacked on those spirits? Like, even if the purifying bell was rung every 0,00001 seconds, it still wouldn’t be enough to purge them all! Or rather, if it was rung that much it’d be an annoyance! Like, anyone would be saying『who the hell is ringing that bell, stop it?!』!」

Why do orders still remain? That is the biggest question, but the key to that mystery is right here! That’s right, I was so caught up in making that village that I forgot about other orders, or rather, there is no way I could’ve done them! Making 1 village is bound to eat up all of the available time! If a night shift took more than 24 hours, then it has nothing to do with the night anymore. It’s just an around-the-clock operation! I don’t do such services, but a lewd midnight room service sounds nice? Very nice. But it has nothing to do with my side job. I like the rewards, but it’s not like I like the labor itself.

「Look at this! There is Urgent written here. The women of the town are awaiting new dresses! Flare skirts and blouses too! And I also marked mushrooms lunches as extra urgent!」

「Why are you ordering food from me?! And every day on top of that! Didn’t they open an eating place right next to your store?! And also 『There is urgent written here』, there is urgent written everywhere, on every order! If you write it on everything, then the entire point of writing 『urgent』is lost. And why do lunches get extra urgent every time?!!」

Speaking of which, I now remember that there was an order for an insane amount of women’s clothing. However, it was for long skirts, long flare skirts, and just ordinary blouses. If that order was for miniskirts, sexy dresses, or fishnet stockings, I would’ve made them right away, instantly, and delivered them the first thing in the morning! And then I would’ve sat down in the middle of the street to spectate the fruits of my labor! But since the order was for long skirts it could not set my soul ablaze, you know? There is nothing to get passionate about. Can’t I at the very least add a slit? Like, 1 meter long?

I see, so this encirclement was accomplished by the aunties of the town? That explains how they managed to block even the smallest of the alleyways, showing their thorough knowledge of the town. A flawless encirclement. As expected, their PoW can’t be measured in stats, most likely, they have enough ability to participate in Maidens’ Bargain War with our girls, each of which has cheat skills, what a fearsome Auntie Power! So Aunties are Unmatched even in this world, huh.

I got caught.

Rather than working at the inn or the general store let’s do it here.

Going to the textile workshop I begin the production. If I’m going to do this, I might as well use the chance to show a finished product, this should help them with production. Moreover, the articles mass-produced here will cost about half price. Aunties will surely prefer to buy there. Drawing out the pattern paper at once, I cut the cloth according to it, and immediately get to sewing, well, Evil Hands do. Since it’s a simple model I quickly finish it. The frontier is still going to have a preference for simple and chic models… Well, those are aunties after all.

Additionally, gathering people from the workshop we get to mass-production, as I coach them along the way. A kind, gentle and attentive coaching. After all, there are so many young girls here! If I managed to boost my Affection Rating here, it just might recover from elementary particles level all the way up to the atomic level? With a strong heart, I conduct cordial no-touch coaching. The worldly desires that I couldn’t let out tomorrow are whirling akin to a centrifuge, but this is the critical point from my Affection Rating!

「Not like this? Don’t stab with the needle, pass it through instead? Also, you shouldn’t pull the thread here, you must spin it to align the seam. Yes, like that, and when you pull you have to pull the cloth too. The same force as the thread, ah, this is too loose. Sort of? Properly sewn it is less likely to end up with wrinkles and won’t come undone that easily. Yes, like that, the threads and the cloth have to become one, then it’s perfect. Yes, that’s really good. If you manage to make a set like that it will be the best dress possible. 」

Yeah, coaching beauties is fun. Back in the days, I thought about becoming a librarian, spending time reading books, but becoming a school teacher and teaching only cute girls might be nice too. Well, no chance for that anymore.

It’s becoming possible for aunties to buy new clothes, but it’s still tough for young girls, therefore, workshops. Textile workshops and sewing workshops provide employee discounts, which are pretty huge on their own, but the number of items one can buy also increases based on the output, moreover there are bonuses and salary raises depending on productivity, so naturally, young girls, who don’t have much money, tend to gather there. I’d like to apply too! Why do they refuse to hire me even though I was the one who established that place?

While coaching, I continue the production with Evil Hands and Holding. I already crafted more than enough, and if I make too much, it will take away work from the workshops, so limiting the stockpile to 1,000 for each article should be alright. But rather than that, it’s a chance to coach cute girls! I bet I’d get scolded if I used my hands, so it’s instructions only! Regrettably!

「This amount should cover both the stock and the orders, right? Or rather, why are the clothes selling so well all of a sudden? Did you have an invasion of a naked tribe or something? I wonder where are they, this calls for a thorough investigation!」

「As if! Why would a naked tribe come to the city? To buy clothes? My, that would be a jackpot! But where would they be carrying wallets?」

Looks like that’s not the case. And thus, the general store’s shopkeeper returned to the store, carrying clothes. Naturally, she didn’t forget the lunchboxes as well. Even though she almost forgot the clothes!

Now then, this settles it for the time being? The bucket workshop definitely doesn’t need any coaching, after all, there is nothing but dudes working there. And it seems they are managing just fine. The foundry has only middle-aged men. So this place is the only solace for me, but apparently, they won’t accept my job application. Even though I’m an investor?

Well, let’s go back and make equipment and dinner? Although it’s a bit troubling since it’s still too early, even more troubling is Armored Pres-san’s figure, it won’t leave my mind so it’s a big trouble? Sort of? But since she is still not back, it’s not a fun sort of trouble?

Having things I want to do but nothing I need to do, I head back to the forge and borrow some space there to try my hand at smithing. The stuff I made as a practice I gave to Royal Girl and Meri family. That family has the highest probability of getting targeted, in fact, they already were attacked in the past. They probably wanted to get hostages and threaten Meripapa-san. Even Royal Girl is in quite the danger. Since I used good materials, even though it was only a practice, it turned out like that. It’s better than what’s available on the market and it also has bonus effects.

「Old maan. Why do you have to hammer your swords? Don’t you have Alchemy? Can’t you mass-produce an item with Alchemy once you make one manually? Is it because you are bald? Or is it because the only hair you have is your beard? Wanna transplant them?」

「Don’t transplant people’s beards on their heads as you please! I can’t mass produce anything with Alchemy, magic stones fusion, bestowing enchantments, and then refinement is the most I can do. And when it comes to transmutation then just doing things by hand will be faster and give better quality. Your Alchemy is the weird one. Even alchemists can’t do that. Good grief, just what do you think my precious beard is……」

After all, I should learn the katana manufacturing method from the Geeks. Most likely, if trained, this old man should be able to make some amazing stuff. However, the result of allowing them to work on katanas was a steamship, and what is really irritating, it now does an awfully good job at transporting. Let’s make a torpedo next time.

「It’s kind of meh? It somehow feels lacking? Why do I have this 『This isn’t it』feeling? Am I doing something wrong? But can I even spot a mistake without sufficient knowledge? But it somehow feels off anyway? Just what is this? Hmmm, is it because regardless of my understanding, I have read about this before and seen real articles?」

「What is this fancy talk! You are definitely the only person in the whole world who can mass-produce items of this quality! If something like this were made in large quantities every single blacksmith would go out of business. Man, this is outrageous.」

The quality won’t improve from mass production, you know? Hmm, well, if I enchant and mithrilify them, it should be about the same level as the items found on dungeons’ middle floors. However, if I mithrilified items from the middle floors they would turn even better. It’s a bit questionable, but it should cover the shortage of classmates’ equipment. This is a very important point, gearing 30 people was a problem, but this should solve it, and this can also be used as a base standard for gear. And an even more important point, is that the ones with the most cash in this remote region are my classmates, who are raiding dungeons’ middle floors! Let’s rip them off!
