About 10 minutes later, Camellia had finally stopped hearing the flame's greedy call and decided to stop throwing wood into the oven, as she had finally noticed;
'Wait... wasn't this wood super precious...'
'Uh, right... sorry.'
***I have really become a roll over since turning into a girl huh? I think I'm gonna cry...
As the flame finally started to die down, the master-looking blacksmith pulled out a long blade from the fire and dipped it into the water to his left once again, causing a large cloud of smoke to cover the room. Finally seeing the silhouette become clearer and clearer as the smoke dissipated, all three girls stared at the sword in his hands with awe and glamour.
"Whoa..."
The green haired girl was shocked by the new weapon.
The blade was sleek and looked black like soot. It was the perfect size for an adult to use, while having the shape of a claymore sword but with a wavelike jagged blade that looked sharp enough to cut anything in its way.
With even Zeph himself in awe as well, he quickly looked up at the pink gorilla girl, then back at the sword, only to turn away and walk towards where the hide Lily had brought up before was and took a seat.
"You'll be doing everyone's extra jobs for the rest of the week. Consider yourself lucky, now, get ready for bed."
"Yes sir!"
"MM!"
'Did... He say everyone's....'
'THAT'S NOT FAIR AT ALL!'
"I said get ready for bed."
"Right, sorry."
***Right?
'SHUT IT!'
Walking up the stairs she couldn't help but feel the exhaustion hit her like a train. She hadn't properly rested since she got to this world. She was either worried, contemplating suicide, contemplating delusions about being kidnapped or just not sleeping from excitement... Man, this is really her fault huh? She had only properly slept when she got knocked out by Mona, which was anything but rest...
Regardless, she quickly got to the top of the stairs with her eyes half open only to be bombarded with questions from the two girls(***only Lily, but Junjun had too much energy)
"That was a months worth of wood! What are we gonna do if that sword doesn't sell?"
"MM!"
"I told you about how important that fire was too right before hand didn't I? What if it went out?"
"MM!"
"What if-"
"Right, I'm sorry. The fire wouldn't shut up so I got annoyed. I'm tired, yell at me tomorrow please."
"R- right... Sure."
The young girl's sweet voice murmured out an apologetic response, she's too sweet for her own good.
The pink girl plopped onto the bed face first only to shiver and crumple up into a ball, falling asleep immediately(***A skill he had acquired from reading isekai till really late at night until he noticed it was 4am.)

After waking up and eating breakfast together, Camellia confirmed a few things.{
1. Its awkwardly silent
2. Lily seems to think I'm crazy(probably cause of my monkey wood throwing moment...), Junjun seems to think nothing of it
3. I seem to have maybe fucked up yesterday
You think?
'Perhaps I might've... maybe...'
As it turns out, the wood she used yesterday was grown in their backyard, and also bought from that merchant they had seen earlier...The problem?
She used up almost the whole shipment that merchant had given them before leaving AND the wood in the back wasn't ready yet. Although the biproduct was good, that sword probably wasn't worth a month's worth of items.
"Here's your list, get this done by tonight."
Zeph got up and handed a piece of parchment paper to Camellia, then quickly kept walking towards the front door, only to leave without saying anything.
'I can't tell if he's just really mad, or if he normally does that... Both maybe?'
She looked down at the parchment and immediately almost died from shock.
-Clean furnace of all soot.
-Water trees in back.
-Wash all the clothes.
-Take inventory of all items, weapons and material.
-Clean all of the items
-Wash dishes and prepare food.
...
'THIS MONSTER OF A HUMAN BEING!!'
You're the one that wasted a month's worth of this man's livelihood.
'Doesn't he know I'm just a child~?!'
You were a 19year old man, not a child.
'Forget one day, I don't think I could do all of this in 3...'
'Shut it...'
Standing up with a solemn face, she walked to do her tasks. She decided to water to trees first which led her to the backyard of the smithy.
Here there was a few long rows of thin white trees that finally looked like a normal size. To the left were a few training dummies made from straw, but she payed no attention to them and instead quickly(***Very lazily) watered the plants and trees alike.
She continued her arduous tasks for a few hours all the time without saying a single word.

"AAAAGHHH!!! I CAN'T TAKE IT!!"
She cried out pulling her head out from the soot covered furnace, only to roll on her back holding her dirt covered head.
'SEE?! Even the(Sadistic) Goddess thinks so!'
MISSION!!
Finally a huge part of the isekai life has presented itself to Camellia! She had been patiently waiting for this godsent moment to happen!
Why?
It's simple! A mission means exciting tasks! Without missions the stories in isekai were always mid at best! But with missions it finally gave all protag-kuns alike a way to progress!
Missions mean fun challenging activities that get you into situations where you meet exciting people and you even get a reward at the end based on the difficulty! Truly an amazing thing!
'Wh... What would my first mission be Miss Goddess Mona?'
This amount of suck up is disgusting.
<<
<<>>
Synopsis: After being an idiot, Camellia has gotten into trouble and now has to do a bunch of work to make up for it! But this is too boring for him and The amazing goddess herself!
Goal: Make today interesting! Go sightseeing around town!
Reward: Production knowledge for creating your personal thread.
<<>>
'UUUUOOOOOAAAAA!!!!'
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED!!!
Such an amazing reward just from looking around town?! I wanted to do that anyways!! This is just two birds with one stone!!!
The small figure suddenly stood up and calmly patted herself down a bit to get rid of the soot that covered her body.
"I accept your mission, Oh great system-sama"
After accepting the mission, Camellia quickly started darting towards the front door, completely ignoring the Goddess' comment. After leaving the smithy and walking around for a bit she started to familiarize herself with this oversized village.
'Mm, ok. I think I got it now'{
1. The villagers are all huge, not exactly as big as Elf-orc-san, but still huge
2. Every house is unique, so they were probably all built by different people, maybe the owners themselves
3. Everyone has weapons
4. the kids seem to be ALMOST normal size, but still too big
5. Everything is really too huge...
And finally 6. The most gruesome of all...
Everyone looks at me like women look at newborns...
Truly a pitiful conclusion that made her consider Seppuku once again, but she quickly got rid of that idea...
Not because she had finally accepted her body or anything, but because she didn't want to do it in the middle of the street.
As she noticed that the sky started to darken a bit, she noticed everyone started running into their homes. This immediately set off the alarm in her head as she also started running back to the smithy.
'FUCK THAT! If even those monster orc people are running just because of the sun setting then no shot am I not gonna book it!'

"UUUOOOAA!!"
