Day 61-70/Day 66

Day 66
Today was the first time it rained in quite a while, so I decided to spend some time with Redhead, Blacksmith-san, the Sisters, and Alchemist-san. Well, although we sleep together at night, each of them have things to do during the day, giving me very little time to care for them.
After earning [Noire Soldier], Redhead’s attacks became relentlessly brutal. Up until now, she was equal in terms of skill to the others but fell short in terms of raw strength. Her strength is steadily growing.
Lately, she has been coming to me saying “Train me, I want to spar with you” with an adorable face.
How can I explain it? The feeling when a puppy comes over to play while showing an adorable face? She was like a small dog such as a dachshund wagging its all over the place. Something like that I suppose.
Well, to the others, she might look like a fierce doberman instead.
I spent the morning playing with Redhead. I shed some sweat training, it was a well-spent time.
After washing my body from the sweat, I went to Blacksimth-san's smithy.
Lately Blacksmith-san have been enthusiastic about creating new types of alloys by mixing the [Mithril] ingots that Kirue and Arue ― these two are the ones who were escorting the foolish elf from before, anyway I’ll just refer to them as “Escort elves” from now on for simplicity and because they act always together ― made with other types of metals. The smithy was filled with prototypes such as knives and shortswords.
The Escort elves are the only ones among the elves we captured that know the manufacturing method of [Mithril]. Apparently these two are the daughters of a good family with a splendid lineage.
By the way, not all elves know the manufacturing method of [Mithril], the technique is passed only in blacksmithing families, that's why ordinary elves can’t manufacture it. 
Because these two were born in a blacksmithing family, on top of receiving combat training for elites, they were also taught the manufacturing method of [Mthril]. 
Well, there is a limit to how much two people can make, but that can’t be helped.
I joined them and gave some opinions, then I asked Blacksmith-san about the development progress of the repeating crossbows which I asked her to start developing some time ago. 
Although repeating crossbows lose out to conventional crossbows in range and firepower, but that's not a problem, because my priority is a large quantity of fired bolts in mid-range.
Note: a repeating crossbow is a real weapon.
The prototype was completed, so I had some goblins test it out.
The results seemed promising, it was usable enough in the battlefield. So I immediately ordered the mass production of the repeating crossbows. 
I also took the opportunity of me being here and took the [Mithril] that the Escort elves made in my silver arm, then extracted it from the fingertips as ingots of a new type of alloy mixed with the various types of metals making up the silver arm, I asked Blacksmith-san to make something for me using it.
"Okay, leave it to me" Blacksmith-san who said this while puffing her chest up and smiling cheerfully looked cute. Seeing that, my mouth hung open for a moment.
After that, we exchanged various opinions regarding the production of defense tools and other types of tools for the base.
In the evening, I went to the Sisters' kitchen.
Recently, both of them acquired a new job called [Chief Cook], they're in charge of commanding the goblins preparing the food.
Since we our numbers are large, if the Sisters didn’t start cooking early there wouldn’t be enough food by supper's time. At this hour, the kitchen had become similar to a battlefield. 
They have enough cooking utensils from the plundered goods and some that Blacksmith-san made, but they have some lack in manpower, so I decided to join in. I started chopping some ingredients. Well, even if I look like this, I can cook fairly well.
Although I was glad when Aoi cooked for me despite having to study, she was a terrible cook and I had the pitiable experience of eating her cooking.
That Aoi.. I wonder what happened to her after I was stabbed.
Note: Aoi = the stalker from the very start.
After the meal was over, I started a cooking research together with the sisters. My goal was to reproduce some cuisines from my previous life. For starters, I tried reproducing potato chips. The ingredients available were completely different compared to those from my previous life, but the knowledge of the two cooks helped me.
Trying to make it through trial and error was interesting.
I ate the delicious supper, then I went to visit Alchemist-san.
Recently Alchemist-san has been devoting herself to manufacturing an original magical item using the Black skeletons' bones, the results of which I hadn't been informed of as of yet.
I was planning on getting it out of her mouth somehow today... but she surprisingly easily told me about it.
However, the real surprise was the item itself.
What Blacksmith-san handed me was a sharpened Black skeleton's bone, it was a black pile with a length of 10cm. There were 10 of them, supposedly their ability is "a person stabbed by it will be paralyzed for a fixed amount of time".
"Heeh, this is amazing" I said, then Alchemist-san responded "This is my first creation after I got the [Item Creator], so cherish them as if they're me".
It seems like Alchemist-san acquired a new [Job] recently, but stayed silent about it.
I can't help but thinking that her cute way of saying it and her smiling face were foul play, I got struck by the gap moe between her normally cool attitude and her playful behavior now. 
Then we started flirting stealthily, moments later, intruders started coming in one after another.
I won’t say what happened afterwards.
