When I opened my eyes, I was the only one in bed.

I usually wake up first and go to work, but for the first time, I woke up later than everyone else.

‘Did I do too much yesterday?’

With that in mind, let’s go outside. Everyone was preparing a meal in the living room.

“Are you awake?”

“Wow~ Oppa was the last one today.”

First, Chloe welcomed me, and then Clia spoke with a big smile.

I answered by kissing Chloe and stroking Clia’s head.

“I guess you were a little tired yesterday.”

“Stop bothering mom like you did yesterday. If you keep doing this, my brother will get angry.”

“Uh… Yes.”

Clia mistook the moaning sound she heard yesterday for being the sound I made when I hit Sylvia.

I had a hard time answering Clia’s innocent answer, perhaps because Silvia had not received separate sex education. I tried to ask Chloe for help, but she blushed and avoided my gaze.

honey…

“Clia, don’t bother Sian. Because it was my mom’s fault yesterday.”

Sylvia came forward as a savior. She said good morning with a bright smile.

“Xian, good morning.”

“Good morning.”

Then he kissed me and went back to preparing dinner with a seductive smile.

When Clia saw that, her eyes opened wide and she began to pester me.

“Give me a kiss too! My sister and mom do it, so why don’t I do it?!”

“Clea… ”

I sighed as I looked at my sister-in-law, a 15 or 16 year old girl yearning for affection.

. . .

Before eating, I went to Elthea’s room first.

“Elthea, good morning.”

“Good morning. Sian.”

“Sian, good morning.”

“Good morning to you, Elin.”

Unlike the shiny Sylvia, Elthea looked somewhat tired.

“Did you not sleep well last night?”

“Yes… My back is a little stiff.”

“Sorry…”

“It’s okay. You don’t have to worry.”

Conversation breaks down.

When I usually talk to Elthea, unlike at night, the conversation is always static.

I accepted it because it was her personality and I walked over to Elsa and stole her lips.

At that moment, Elin, who was nearby, was startled and quietly left the place. It would be nice if Clia had that same sense of tact.

Elthea grumbled softly with a red face.

“…Sudden in the morning.”

“This is also good for Elthea.”

Aside from Chloe, he rarely expressed affection to his lover Sylvia and his concubine Elthea.

Perhaps because of the Confucian way of thinking in my previous life, I was not active except at night.

But after experiencing what happened yesterday, I changed my mind.

As the head of the household, I need to be centered so that the atmosphere in the house is good and the girls’ worries are alleviated.

So I need to appeal to them that I love them. like now.

“Elsia, I have a ring to give you too, so look forward to it.”

“Yes… ”

My promises made Elthea smile, even if it was small, and I thought it might be my first time seeing her smile.

“Oh…”

Elin may have been spying outside, but she made eye contact with me and quickly ran away.

. . .

The smell of iron and the sound of burning firewood.

Let’s arrive at the only blacksmith shop in town to meet Tom. A freckled, red-haired, seventeen-year-old girl greeted me warmly.

“Why did you come?”

“Petra Hello. Where is Tom?”

“It’s in the master bedroom. That old man drank a lot yesterday, so he sleeps a lot in the morning.”

“Haha, that way of speaking to your father… ”

“Don’t worry.”

Petra responded to my point with a grunt and stood in front of the furnace again.

It looks like he’s going to practice the metallurgy he learned from Tom over his shoulder today as always. However, even as an illiterate person, I could see that it did not go well, perhaps because I did not learn it formally.

“Ah, again… ”

“It’s a waste of firewood, so wouldn’t it be better to do it after receiving formal training from Tom?”

“I told you not to worry.”

“I’m sorry, but I’m the kind of person who can’t help but pay attention.”

Tom is my helper in this village. If Tom doesn’t have firewood to use, it’s a pain for me.

And now it is winter. It is not good to waste firewood needlessly.

“Metals are sensitive to temperature, so when the temperature changes, they also change.”

“I know.”

Petra, who was nervous, struck the iron taken out of the furnace with a hammer to quench it.

Although the sound of the hammer had a somewhat consistent rhythm, the deformation of the shape was uneven, possibly due to lack of strength or skill.

After repeating the process a few times, Petra clicked her tongue when a bizarre result emerged.

“Chit.”

“What, what were you trying to make?”

“I don’t know anything.”

“I’m curious.”

I’ve been looking around for a while. Is there anything you can tell me?

“But even if I tell you, I won’t understand. It looks like this, so what can we say it was made of?”

“Ah! If you’re going to nag like that old man, go away.”

Petra gets angry at my criticism. I was angry at the thought of someone younger than me attacking me, but in this world, people are adults at the age of 17, so I had to treat them like adults. Oh, you’re 18 now, right?

‘Well, like in Joseon, where you don’t become an adult at the age of 15.’

Anyway, as an adult, I gave some advice to the girl who wasted resources in vain.

Petra looked disapproving at first, but since it had a different shape than what she had created, she listened quietly.

With a banging sound, the roughly shaped dagger was completed.

“Did you learn the technique from you?”

“I only learned the rough method.”

“Tch, it’s called talent.”

“What can I say, I’m not working for a day or two.”

Even in my previous life, I was tired of work, but if I didn’t have this level of manual dexterity, I would have to leave.

“Here’s the trick, the trick. Petra, you need to build up your skills first.”

“Yes, yes. I listened carefully to your nagging.”

Once again, Petra picked up the hammer and started making something again.

“You still lack strength, so don’t try to make something too big. Try making something as small as a dagger like me.”

“I understood.”

“Hammering must be done rhythmically.”

“I know. Stop nagging me.”

Petra grumbled, but she showed improvement every time I pointed it out.

It’s better than before.

“Phew… I made one.”

“It’s better than before.”

It was crude, but once the distinct shape was completed, Petra smiled brightly like other girls her age.

“Umm… Petra, are you burning materials again?”

“Tom, hello.”

“Oh, Sian. Did you come to get the bow? I said I would bring it myself.”

“Haha, you’re giving it to me as a gift, but I have to come in person.”

Tom woke up and welcomed me warmly.

“Okay, would you like to have a beer now? I have some leftover liquor I made last year!”

“Drinking during the day is a bit… ”

“It’s winter anyway so there’s nothing to work!”

As Petra said, Tom, who was still drunk from drinking yesterday, hugged me and took me to the living room and offered me a beer.

I had no choice but to chat with Tom while drinking the drink he offered me. Occasionally, I would clear my throat by eating snacks provided by Petra.

Then Tom gave me the bow he had made.

The black bow seemed more luxurious than the bow I had, perhaps because it was made from black wood, the main material.

“It’s the greatest masterpiece of all the bows I’ve made!”

“You can tell at a glance how great this is without you having to say it.”

I checked the performance of the bow by flicking the bowstring.

‘It might be a bit difficult for Leon to use right away.’

As a bow made from Yeti tendons, the tension of the bowstring was very good, and surprisingly, for a bow made of black wood, it bent well.

What kind of magic trick have you summoned?

“Hahaha, are you curious about the elasticity of the bow?”

“Yes. How did you do it?”

“Kkekeul, I found it by chance while making a bow.”

As a craftsman, Tom had a great desire to explore materials and gave a magnificent explanation of the black wood he had discovered.

Blackneck, what on earth is it that keeps increasing the number of uses for waves and waves?

“So you can create elasticity in this way.”

“You’re amazing.”

After hearing Tom’s explanation, I couldn’t help but be impressed. After all, even if you have past life knowledge, you can’t hand out your business card to a real craftsman.

“Thank you. I will use this bow well.”

“Isn’t that what you’re using anyway?”

“But wouldn’t it be easier for future hunting?”

“I would be grateful if you said that.”

“Next time I come, I will give you the first game I caught with this bow.”

“It’s okay. I have a lot of families, so take care of your own.”

“Tom, you know that I am a capable man.”

“Ugh… yes. As expected, I had to marry Petra, but it’s a shame.”

“Haha, isn’t Petra still young?”

“You’re young… I’ll be 18 next year and I still haven’t met any guy… When will I get married and see my grandchildren? ”

“Yeonggamtaengi… Make strange noises.”

Petra blushed and pointed at Tom’s words, which were almost like complaints.

I thought we were going to fight again, so I intervened first.

“Don’t worry too much. Tom and Petra are working hard too.”

“What is hard work… We waste materials every day.”

“If that’s too much of a waste, please tell me the technique.”

“Petra is impossible. Because I’m a woman, I don’t have enough arm strength.”

“But from what I saw earlier, I think your dexterity is still good. Since you have a meticulous personality, you will be able to make small things well.”.

“Still… ”

“If you don’t have enough strength, you can solve it in a different direction. You just have to pay attention to that part gradually, and women with marriage skills are popular.”

“Are you like that too?”

“Me? Of course it is.”

I answered Tom’s question without thinking.

The main purpose of the conversation now is to persuade Tom. First of all, it’s better to be positive.

“Then I understand what you think.”

“Then?”

“Okay. Petra, I will teach you blacksmithing starting in the spring.”

“Chiit-When I speak, don’t listen… ”

“What?”

“Haha, they say it’s good.”

I was startled by Petra’s displeasure and covered her mouth.

Hey, when they say they will give it to you, take it!

Petra must have sensed my silent gaze and avoided my gaze, blushing.
