Tensei Kenja – 71

PAGE 1

And like this, the tree turned into a single log in about 5 minutes.

I continued to swing the axe without really thinking, and the log was cut into pieces of just the right size before being split vertically.

 

…Eventually, I had something that looked just like firewood.

I thought this would be really hard work, but it was easier than expected.

Well, it would have been hard had I not had this skill.

 

Now, all I had to do was dry them out.

And so I looked through my magic again.

 

But…I couldn’t find anything that seemed useful.

Altering magic was used mostly for changing the shape of wood or metal, and wouldn’t help dry them out.

 

You would think that magic to dry things would be quite common…but apparently, there hadn’t been anything like that in the books I read.

And all my knowledge of magic came from those books.

There were so many of them, that I wasn’t even aware of all of them. 

 

…Oh, well. I guess I could use fire magic.

If I used something like Hellfire of Death, there wouldn’t even be ashes left, but maybe there was something else that could help dry them.

That being said, it seemed a little silly to use fire magic for a long time just to acquire fuel…

 

Still, I searched for some fire magic I could use…

And then I had the idea of checking my Tamer Skills instead.

And then I found something at once.

 

— ‘Slime Water Absorption.’

It was apparently a slime exclusive skill. And it absorbed water.

If I could use this on the firewood, then all of my problems would be solved.

 

‘Do you know a skill called Slime Water Absorption?’

 

‘No.’

 

‘We have to drink water?’

 

‘Is the water good?’

 

The slimes were not aware of this skill.

They had used Slime Storage without me even telling them to, but it seemed like it was different with Slime Exlclusive skills.

Well, I guess I should try it then.
