The village had sent out scouts, and discussing if there was anything else he could do, it was decided he would make a fence for the field.

With it, the crops would be protected from harmful creatures, so making it would not be pointless.

Cutting down trees, producing logs, he covered the perimeter of the field. The work progressed quickly with the help of the villagers in addition to Gon and Gen, as well as the Horse Golems Drei, Quatre, and Cinq. It was a speed that one would call abnormal if they were to see it all.

Day 3 after the departure of the scouts.

Haa, I somehow made the shape

Jin helped out with the work by cutting the trees into logs (with Engineering Magic), but the number of necessary logs to make was done, and he now had some time for himself.

Just in case I want a weapon

Jin thought. Right now the materials are scarce, so making a special weapon is unlikely. At best would be an edged tool made out of Adamantite.

Well, I dont want it to go to waste, shall I make an axe and nata?

He decided to make an edged tool to use for his usual livelihood. Although there wasnt much left because to make the Horse Golems, iron was used for the body, and Admantatite for the exterior, so he could not make much. But he was still able to make 10 axes and 20 natas.

All thats left is a weapon for myself, huh?

Jin could not boast as his physical strength and athletic ability were low. Compared to the men of the village he would be the lowest level. Therefore close combat is unreasonable. Although, he was also unskilled with the bow.

After all it will have to be

So Jin muttered and began making a Water Gun. It was a pistol model with a large tank attached type.

Onii-chan, what are you making?

Day after day, Hanna came to Jins workshop (though its really Hannas grandfathers workshop).

Yaa, Hanna. Im making a Water Gun

Water Gun?

To begin with, in this world theres no such thing as a Gun, so saying Water Gun would not get through to her.

Well, just take a look

Since the structure in itself was not too complicated, he immediately completed one. It was a water tank attachment model.

?

For Hanna who didnt understand it well,

This here, you put water into it, then you hold it like this, then pull this trigger

Chuu~ the water flew out.

Waa! It looks fun!

To people with the exception of Jin it was merely a toy, so he decided to give the Water Gun to Hanna.

Though this is really something to play with in the hot summer

But still, thank you! Its really fun!

Hanna delightfully received the Water Gun and went out to play with it.

with this Ill have to make some for the other children

Jin realised, so he made 10 more Water Guns of the same type. With a thing of this degree, after making it once he could easily mass-produce it.

Incidentally, because there isnt any plastic, all of it was made of Muscovite so it was light and hard to break.

After that, for his own weapon, he increased the capacity of the water tank, and with 2 pistons it raised the accuracy. He then made two of the type where the main part of the Water Gun without the water tank could fire water.

If this is used together with Jins Engineering Magic Water Jet, it would be a fearsome weapon.

But I still cant protect the whole village

Feeling at peace is forbidden, was what Jin warned himself.

After that, Kurt and Mario who found Hanna playing with a Water Gun came over, needless to say they were all provided Water Guns.

Then a peaceful two days followed. And on the third day, the scouts came back.

Oh~! Rock and Yang, youre safe!

Aa, thanks to this horse

After the two had a short break, they began the report of the scouting in the village chiefs house.

At first there werent any problems

The point that there was no problem with the mountain deer was made.

From there we advanced further back for a day, but not much had changed. Then, we went around to the west a little

They had been going straight north, so they changed course 90 degrees to the left.

Around there nothing had changed. We felt relieved, and once again headed north. And then

What is it?

we stumbled upon a place with the bones of mountain deer rolling around

What!?

Feeling that it was dangerous, we mounted our horses and then, a big Wood Bear appeared. Looking at it, it was dragging a mountain deer still dripping in blood

A Wood Bear!?

Aa. So, listen, and dont be too surprised

? What?

For that big Wood Bear, there are 10 in total that appeared there

No way?!

Whose cry could that have been? That cry spoke the feelings of all that gathered there. A Wood Bear was a dangerous beast that could be barely hunted with three or four skilled hunters. And to say theres 10.

Why, in such a place

Normally a large herd of mountain deer would not come south, so then why would the mountain deer come south? The mountain deer and Wood Bear live in a remote mountains, while Kaina Village is in the back of the mountains, and the mostly vegetation-less valley is in between, therefore there was almost no threat of a beast for Kaina Village.

But now that the mountain deer had crossed over to this side of the valley, it would be likely that the Wood Bear would also come in pursuit.

That was the conclusion made today. So Jin,

Just in case, I made a some sturdy axes and natas. Please come and take it later

saying that, the village chief,

Aa, I see. Jin, you being here really help. Well then, Jeff and Tom, go and get it with Jin. For now Ill take care of it

Understood

So with Jeff and Tom, Jin returned to Marthas house, and piled up in the workshop, Jeff carried the axes while Tom carried natas.

Jin reported to Martha in the house about the contents of the meeting.

I see, so the mountain deer and Wood Bear may have come to such a place. Ill need to tell Hanna to be careful

Thats right. For the time being the mountain to the north is dangerous so dont go there

He warned Hanna,

Un. But is the river fine?

There was little danger for the Erume River to the south. The children would act unreasonably if he were to say no for everything. Jin knew such things from seeing the small children from the orphanage.

Saying that the river was fine, Hanna went to play in the river with her Water Gun.

After that, it was decided to monitor the north mountain everyday in turns. But after 2 days, then 3 days, nothing abnormal happened. When the villagers began to think that they were worried too much, it happened.

After breakfast, Jeff who was on lookout duty found a cloud of dust coming from the north mountain. Looking closely, there was a large herd of mountain deer coming down from the mountain.

Oiii! Mountain deer are coming down from the mountain!

He hurriedly informed the village. The village chief and Rock, as well as Jin came out to see it.

This is their movement looks like theyre being pursued by something

Rock said while stroking his chin.

If its the Wood Bear, then theyll show up a in a little bit

The village chief agreed.

If thats the case, first we need to lead the mountain deer in another direction so they dont come to the village

Everyone agreed with Jins opinion. So Jin, Rock, Jeff and Rick mounted a Horse Golem and decided to lead the mountain deer towards the forest to the west.

Were going!

With Rock leading, and after that is Jeff then Rick. Jin was the rear guard.

Be careful

With voices of worries to their backs, the four Horse Golems quickly grew smaller and smaller.

Itll be fine, the other party this time are mountain deer. Now, go inside your houses

The village chief tried to relieve the worried women.

Onii-chan

Hanna stared in the direction where Jin and the others faded away till the end.
