It soon reached December .
There haven’t been any troublesome visitors since then . It also started snowing . I sometimes go out gathering on days where it doesn’t snow, but most of the time I just stay indoors . At home, I usually just spend time making potions or iron . I had a large supply of iron sand since I had collected it at the river before winter started . If I could turn it into wrought iron then it would make a great weapon material, but it would take quite a bit of time to do . But I didn’t need to rush to finish it during winter so I could take my time . I still haven’t made a longsword yet . But I did make many knives . And a kitchen knife . It’s necessary for cooking!
After accumulating enough wrought iron, I tried to make a katana again but I fainted . I planned to make the blade length around that of a short sword… . . but neither my skill level or MP were high enough . The requirements were likely high since an advance level of blacksmithing was needed .
Since I’ve been staying indoors, as expected, well……the amount of time spent on the daily routine has increased . And, well, that’s why I think I really will reach LV6 soon……

It’s also why I’ve been making more potions too . It’s not like it matters anyways! I’m not bothering anyone!
That aside, I go to sleep once the moon appears . The symptoms from this body were quite severe……even with the painkillers I still didn’t want to move about……

Although it was winter Norn and Bell still lived outside . They sometimes slept inside the house, but most of the time they basically lived outside . Both of them were strong, but I still couldn’t help but worry a bit .
January .
The concept of celebrating the New Year also exists in this world .
In larger towns, it seems there were even places where festivals would be held . It wasn’t like that in the town with the orphanage I was in, but the church would give out food . I’ve also heard that some rural villages even celebrate by themselves .
……I wonder if Coco’s village also celebrates New Years? Not that I would go regardless .
About two weeks into January, it started snowing heavily . The house became completely buried . In order to prevent the house from being crushed, I had to use Storage and place the surrounding snow into it instead of shoveling it .
Normally, if you were trapped in a snowstorm like this you would probably be worried .
But it doesn’t matter to me! Since I can finally make swords now!
After a few days, I finally managed to finish making a sword . My skill level also increased . Creation Magic had become LV4 . It was long… . . but this length would only be considered a dagger . Since the length of the blade was only about 40cm, it would still be considered quite a bit shorter than the average short sword . But since I was still a child, this length made it easier to use . I didn’t have enough arm strength . I had used wrought iron, then changed the carbon compound to adjust the strength and durability, a high quality item . I used Appraisal to check the description .
Steel short sword .
Made from wrought iron . High Quality .

……No surprises here .
I was about to test swing the sword around, but then decided against it . It would be dangerous to test it out indoors . But I didn’t want to go outside . I dislike the cold .
As a celebration for completing the sword, I spent more time doing my daily routine as a reward for myself .
…… . But when I looked at my status the next day, it had reached LV6 . God is dead! Forsaken!
February .
There was a lot of snow in February this year . Usually, it wouldn’t snow this much in February .
It’s also my birth month . I would now be 11 years old this month .
But in reality, it’s not actually my birth month . I’m not really sure when my real birthday is . February was the month I was abandoned at the orphanage . So that month ended up becoming my birth month . Furthermore, at that time I looked about 1 years old, so it was decided that I would be 1 years old . And that was basically it .
My name was taken from the words that were embroidered on the clothes I was wearing at that time . Or rather from portion that could be read .
Anyways, my chest has grown bigger again . Why is this happening……
As for my height? It hasn’t changed at all! Why is this happening!? I properly eat food! Why!?
March .

The snow had melted so I was outside .
I decided to go on a stroll to gather some springtime wild plants . There were also numerous hungry beast about . Snipe, snipe, snipe . I went out looking for wild plants, but ended up with a lot of meat instead . I’m not really sure what happened .
I also tested out my sword .
…… . But it seems I lack talent . I couldn’t move very well with the sword . I didn’t have any problems with thinking about what to do, but executing the actions were a different story .
If I enhanced my status with boost potions, I might be able to manage somehow if I suddenly needed to fight close range . But some other measures might also be necessary .
Norn and Bell’s statuses have also improved . The stats all rose fairly evenly . The amount of skills also increased . How reliable .
As it was getting warmer, I began spending the days outside hunting and gathering like before . But one day, I suddenly had a visitor . I pulled on my hood and went to open the door .
“……You are?”
“Are you the witch?”
This again!
“No . ”
“Aren’t you the one who made the various medicines for Parker?”
Who’s Parker?
After listening for a bit, it seems Parker is the father of Coco and Neil . And it seems he was referring to the medicine I made for Coco a while back ago . So in other words, the potion and energy drink I gave her . At that time, I gave Coco three potions . However, Coco’s mother only drank one bottle and sold the remaining two potions to a merchant . And it also sold for a high price . But even though the potion was bought at a high price, its effect and worth was still greater than the price it was bought at . And so when Villager A had heard this, the middle-aged man in front of me, came here to get some .
“You gave Coco some before for free . Then give me some also . ”
“I don’t have anymore of that medicine . I ran out of materials . ”
“Hey now, don’t lie . You still have some right? Hurry up and hand them over!”
Norn handled that matter amazingly .
After that, more middle aged men would come every few days . Sometimes more than one at once . And oftentimes in several groups . There were even people coming from different villages . There were some people who said they would pay, but I still refused them . But due to all the troublesome visitors, I recently haven’t been outside hunting or gathering .
Even more troublesome, it seems the lord who governs this area has even heard rumors about me . It seems he was even preparing soldiers to summon me . A person from one of the other villages nearby told me this . That’s really important information, thanks! But I still won’t sell any potions .

And so I decided to leave the forest . 1
