Different Worlds Slow Life Beginning as a Blacksmith

I finished my morning routine and saw off the whole family.As usual, it's the usual morning.As I set fire to the forge, the temperature grew wobbly.I like this time a lot.As the temperature rises, so does the motivation.

But today it was just a little different.Gazing at the firebed and furnace, which slowly increased in redness, he poured his thoughts blurry.

Samir sees through the lie. However, since it is due to the smell, it is difficult to understand if you are not aware of "exposing", and it is difficult to discover if what you are saying is "not a lie" (although it is the sense of smell rather than the eyes that you use).

In other words, what Karen said, it's hard to know if it wasn't a lie.

To quote what she said, "I came to disciple you because you told me not to come back until you had been kicked out of the area and become a full blacksmith."

This means that even if you say, "Be a disciple for a while, in the name of being kicked out of the local area on a mission and becoming a full blacksmith", Daiso is not lying.From what I said, it's not true.

You can still ask questions now, but in that case, there is a possibility that the final intent will be revealed.

"... hey, my lord!"

Oops.

Riquet calls you and pulls you back.The fire bed and furnace were hot enough.

"Excuse me, let's get started."

Yes!

For a moment, he looked strange, but Riket replied cheerfully.Now, we have to do our best for today.

I made a knife just before lunchtime.Heat the sheet metal on the fire floor, strike it at an appropriate temperature, use magic power to create a shape, and then sharpen it after quenching and tempering.

Anyway, in the case of custom models, this time it is a luxury model, and it is not an unusual material, but a steel that is used to handling.The work proceeds smoothly.

Honestly, I don't think I can even close my eyes, but I can't lick that much.I have to take responsibility for each product.

The sword had to wait for the mold to cool down, so I poured more and more molten steel into the mold that everyone had prepared for me.When I flush it into the mold, I can tell by the cheat how the container is tilted, so I will follow that.

Hmmm.

Rikete, who was helping her out with lunch when she finished flushing it all down the toilet, scratched her neck.Did you make a mistake?Rikete said that she didn't feel too comfortable today, and she didn't think it would be nice.

No, I was wondering.

Wonder?

Now it was my turn to bend my neck. [M] Rikete nods.

I wonder why Karen-san went that way.

"Ahh..."

Well, I doubt it.I don't know about Samir, but I think Diana seems to think it's too faint.

For now, let's do it over lunch.

"Huh? Ah, yes, I see."

I'll drop the flame and the furnace.I only stopped the air blowing on the fire floor.Then the two of them went back to the house.

"Are you a detective...?"

Riquet said after swallowing the soup.I nodded as I cheeked my bread.

Well, it's possible.

I went ahead and explained to Riquet that I talked to Anne the other day.

Sometimes it was because he was a sister disciple, and Riquet was concerned about Karen, so I thought I'd be a little more shocked.

I see.

The reaction was unexpectedly mild.The usual expression that makes you look more or less cute is not so cloudy.

You're not surprised, are you?

"Oh no, I'm surprised. just....."

A flash of smoke ran over Riket's face.However, it had disappeared at the same time as the sound of the wind outside.

I don't know what to say, I felt uncomfortable.

Uncomfortable?

"Yes, I was certain of my skill.It's not as dark as the blacksmiths there. "

That's right.

That's what I admit.At least I'm not ashamed to let that knife out.There was certainly a lot of room for improvement.

"On the contrary, I thought it was strange."

Huh?

"Could she be--"

Riquet put the key down and looked straight at me.

"I hide (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...)"

I realized I was opening my eyes.

"In other words, instead of" we don't want to do blacksmithing work very much because we find out that we don't have the strength "," we reduce the chance of finding out that we have more strength "?"

Yeah.

Riket nodded vigorously.

“Think about it.Even if you send an amateur to a blacksmith who can make something of a higher quality than that, "I saw it and I got it, but it was definitely amazing, so maybe that's how it ends."

"That's... that's right..."

It's so simple that I wonder why I didn't notice it.I gave her the bespoke model.Everyone will understand that it is an amazing thing to use, but if a housewife in the city knows how it works, they won't know.

In the previous world, when comparing Zollingen with Sakai and Seki knives, everyone knows that all of them can be cut well, but there are not many people who know which product it is.

If our suspicions aren't just suspicions, then Karen needs to know which product it is, and she needs to be more discerning than she needs to be.In other words, it's tough if you don't have much more experience than that.

In that case, Karen's true forging skill was...

"Master"

Rikete called out worriedly to me when I thought about it again.

If my master asks me if I should go back to the north, will I go back?

Riquet stares at me. I immediately shook my head to the side.

"No. I think this is the end of the house."You're not going back north, are you? "

Try to be bright, I said.There is no one in the north.What I want to protect is "always" here, and nothing else.

For the first time in a long time, I stroked Riket's head, which sighed heavily.
