The sky looked cloudy when I woke up in the morning. I splashed my face with cold water and brushed my teeth. Then I fed Ash, the chickens and Rocinante (my horse) before I started my daily training. 

Swordsmanship, martial arts, marksmanship, shield arts and wind. I practiced all of them and then I went to have breakfast. 

Today, I planned on improving my foot equipment for ‘moonsault kick’. 

10:00

Without wasting any time, I lit up the furnace in the blacksmith workshop. I melt pig iron ingots so I could use it to reinforce a part of my boots. I added the processed pig iron ingot on the part of the boots that would hit the enemy when I used my kick skills and put the boots on to test it out. 

Yeah, the center of gravity is pretty bad. I’m a little unbalanced. It’d be bad if I can’t move properly at the most crucial times. 

Once again, I removed the metal part from the boots and reworked it. After repeating the same process several times, I was able to more or less complete it. 

14:00

After finishing a late lunch, I equipped my armor and went to practice ‘moonsault kick’ on a wooden target.

I unleashed a ‘moonsault kick’ on the target and the target was pulverized from the impact. 

『Individual Name: Keigo Okuda has acquired Moonsault Kick level 2.』

I might be able to use this skill while attacking to create a distance between me and the enemy. The compatibility between this skill and ‘fortress’ was good too. The result of today’s practice was really satisfactory. 

16:00

Now then, the cloud was starting to get thinner and thinner. It seemed today we wouldn’t have any rain. I decided to utilize yesterday’s bath to wash off the sweat from my body. I lit up the firewood and waited for the bathwater to become hot. 

After a quick bath, I grilled the deer meat I had bought in the city and washed it down with a glass of ale. 

Delicious. 

Even though we had already taken a bath together, Ash’s hair became sticky again because of his drool. He was sitting up, waiting for me. 

While thinking that I would need to clean his drooled hair later, I cut up part of my deer meat and put it on Ash’s plate. I told him to wait and to do the ‘hand’ command before I allowed him to eat. He then started chomping down on the food vigorously. 

20:00

Let’s go to bed early today. 

I brushed my teeth and then wiped Ash’s drooled hair with a wet towel. With the sound of the music performed by the insects, I went into the bed together with Ash and fell asleep just like that.

T/N: The money MC prepared for the guild really works wonders. I don’t see MC getting ambushed anymore these days.
