"Huh, you've got a nice store set up quite normally." I thought it was even more boring. "

"It's superfluous to say, you son of a bitch." Again, don't touch anything from the workshop! "

"I know." Hey, Finn. "

"Yes, yes, it's okay, I just need to show you the workshop"

Nikolai, shrugging his shoulders, unlocked the store door and opened it.

"Oh, this is terrible." Why are there so many bottles rolling in the shop!? Impossible? "

There were no swords that were supposed to be merchandise on counters or shelves that seemed to be selling spaces, just empty bottles of liquor rolling around.

Well, I opened the store key, so I think I'm the shopkeeper...

No matter what I see, it doesn't seem like I'm in sales.

"Unlike other blacksmiths, I choose my job." I'm just not selling at the store. "

"Nevertheless, I think it would be better to clear this up..." This is not a shop or a workshop, so you can touch it, right? "

"Kids like things." Are you going to clean up the rubbish in people's houses? Well, you can feel free to touch it here. "

With permission from Nikolai, Finn began to collect scattered bottles of alcohol, demonstrating the beauty of the person in front of him.

"Fern, you don't have to do that..."

But I don't care if it's dirty.

"You'll have to pick up the garbage later, so you'll see my workshop first, right?" This way! Follow me! "

When Nikolai opens the back door, he walks out without waiting for our reply.

Me and Finn went after Nikolai.

After passing through the passageway leading to the back of the door, you'll come out to a place that looks like a courtyard.

At the end of my gaze, I saw a working hut with a much better furnace than the one used by the blacksmith in the village.

"That's my workshop." Now you can trust the blacksmith! "

I also had the store keys, and I was able to get to the work shed without hesitation, so it seems true that Nikolai is not a fraud, but a blacksmith.

But it doesn't mean you're good at it.

Sometimes it's someone else's work.

"I know that Nikolai is a blacksmith, but I can't trust his sword skill." Are you sure you can hit me? "

Nikolai's face dyed red when he heard my words.

"You son of a bitch!" You could hit me with that sword! "

"Yeah, because we haven't seen where we're hitting." That sword could be someone else's work, right? "

"Kuuuuu! But to settle the score, I thought you were a rushing swordsman with a skill worthy of making blacksmith Nikolai use his sword, and you were such a shitty kid!" You guys are too suspicious of me! "

"The doctors said that since there are many fraudsters in the capital, they won't be careful!" That's why I'm careful! "

Well, it was true that I was a blacksmith, and I'm sure that if I woke up to the smell of alcohol and the smell of alcohol, I would have a hobby about Nikolai and my sword.

The sword you handed me was really good.

If I could use a sword like that, I wouldn't be afraid of monsters.

"Alright, I'll hit you!" Before that, I'll give you 50,000 ounces of material money! As expected, I couldn't even hit him for free. I wouldn't take it at this price if it were true, but now I need a little money! I can't take up the shop and the workshop! "

"Wait a minute, I'll talk to Fine!"

He dominated Nikolai, who was excited, and pulled Finn closer to his ears.

Can you prepare 50,000 ounces?

"If you cut the cost of your stay to the nearest point, it won't be money that can't be prepared..." Even before you can make a sword, you might get stuck if you don't get a request and get a success reward right away. "

I see... that's the last thing I need to do...

But Alfine wants Nikolai's sword, right?

Yeah, you want Finn, too, right?

Yeah, I want mine too.

For a while, they were both silent, but I opened my mouth.

"As a souvenir of living as an adventurer, why not give each other a gift?" It's like you're thrilled with determination. "

Using my sword arm, raising my rank as an adventurer, and making a lot of money, I wish to return to my home village with Finn and live with him forever.

In order to do that, you must first become an adventurer.

As proof of that determination, I wanted to give Nikolai's sword to each other.

I'm sure Finn came to King's Landing with the same desire as me.

"With determination, we'll give each other a sword as a souvenir... I see." I have to protect Alfine, and it's a sword to prove it. Fine, I'll buy it for 50,000 ounces. "

It's settled. Now, let's ask Nikolai.

Yeah, but I usually leave the negotiations to me, but Alfine only talks about the sword herself.

It's a sword for you to use, and it's also a sword for Finn to use. This is all I have to do for myself. "

Finn looks at us strangely, but for us who live as swordsmen, the sword is a life-saving thing.

I just think it is very important because the results will change if it is good or bad.

So, negotiate on your own.

"Nikolai, I'll pay you 50,000 ounces right now, so you can hit me and Finn with the sword!"

"Wow! I have a material cost of 50,000 per bottle..."

Fine, give me 50,000 ounces.

Huh? Yeah, that's it!

Finn had just given Nikolai a 50,000-ounce leather bag in his hand.

"Ah, Miyabe!" Damn it! Damn it! I'll do it, but I can't guarantee it! "

"Just because it's out of price, don't pull your hand out."

"You can't do that!" I'll always try my best to hit you in the workshop! Son of a bitch! "

Well, thank you!

"Wow! Why did I call out to these guys?" Damn it! I'll hit you in three days, so come here in three days! "

“I'm looking forward to it! Finn, we need to find a place to stay for now.”

"Um, yeah. Thank you, Nikolai." Alfine, let's just clean the shop for the time being. Let's look for a place to stay afterwards. ”

Finn seemed to care about me running out of money and offered to clean it up to keep Nikolai in a good mood.

Well, it looks kind of cute, so I'll clean it up for you.

I might be able to take care of you in the future.

"Okay, Nikolai, is that all right?"

"Oh, do as you please." I'll pay for the sake. "

Nikolai gripped the leather bag and dashed out of the store.

The rest of us cleaned up the garbage in the store and when we finished cleaning, we decided to go looking for a place to stay because it was different from Nikolai, who came back around dark.
