Well then, first of all, let's start by looking at where we're making the knife.

Yes!

I told her that Karen was very responsive.It's a good thing to have a good temper... but "my master suddenly travels a little to the boulder", so instead of showing it to me, Riquet made it and showed it to me first.

I don't think it's okay for me to make it, but I can only remember when I look at it. There are some things that I think are too great, so I honestly followed Riquet's words.

Heat the sheet metal, tap it on the metal floor to form a shape, quench it, and sharpen it.Riquet smoothly and quickly carried out the series of tasks.It is faster and more polite than before.It looked like my magic power had improved a lot.The amount is different from before.

I wonder if I could be the blacksmith of the Imperial family anytime, anywhere.

Karen said as she saw Riquet taking shape in the middle of the task.

Are you at this level with "disciples"?

Well, yeah.

I shrugged my shoulders.Karen once again concentrates on Riquet's work.Sometimes I move my hands to try to figure out the tricks.

While doing so, Riket showed me the finished knife.

Master, what do you think?

I take it and take a good look.Even if you check it with a cheat, it doesn't look like my "luxury model".In fact, I don't know if I can mix it at all.

"Nicely done." I think it'll work everywhere. "

"No, that's not true. Not much compared to my master..."

"The levels are too different for the elephants."

Anne breaks into Riquet's conversation.I gave Karen the knife Riquet made.

Honestly, I think your father would be happy if you brought him back to the Empire instead of the elephants.

Well, then, does my idea of becoming a blacksmith for the Empire fit?I feel like I will be turned down when I ask myself.

"Well, there's nothing you can do if you don't feel like it at all."I'm a hostage. "

Anne winks at me for saying that.Riket also looked at it and laughed.I called out to Karen, who was staring at Riquet's knife.

"Now, it's Karen's turn."For now, try it the way you thought it would. "

"Y-Yes! Now then..."

For a moment, Karen seemed surprised. Instead of returning the knife to me, she stretched her face with both hands, grabbed the sheet metal with her yatco, and pushed it into the fire.Magic automatically sends the wind, charcoal burns, and the redness of the sheet metal increases on the flame floor.

At a temperature a little off the vest, Karen took it off the fire floor, placed it on the golden floor, and then slammed it with a cup.Naturally, there was no support for magic power."It's been a long time since I've seen steel change its shape..."

Although the temperature was only slightly low, Karen was getting quite smoothly shaped.

It's a good muscle, isn't it?

That's right.

Riquet and I nodded together in a whisper.There may be a lot of things you need to learn, but I wonder if you're leaving here sooner than I thought.

The speed of the work is not too much of a problem.The temperature of the quenching was a little off, but it was within the range of normal use.

Karen held out the knife that was made.

"W-What do you think..."

I took the knife offered and looked at it.It wasn't like there was a lot of unevenness in the organization, or that there was little magic, but it would be enough.Words are never inferior to blacksmiths everywhere.

Still, Karen's father's glasses weren't an enemy... I might not have wanted to admit it, but either way, if it didn't work out in this state, I'd have to be more than a blacksmith.

"I don't think it's bad as a thing.Well, there's still a lot of work to be done..... "

"Yes... I felt pain when I saw Mr. Riquet's face..."

Karen dropped her shoulder. I tap that shoulder lightly.Then Riket said with a mischievous smile.

Well then, let's make it a little bit more painful for you.

When I sighed, I caught a glimpse of Yatko.Now, shall we meet the expectations of our youngest disciple?
