"Grandpa, I'm so sorry..."

It's been a few days since I handed over the Harlem Lizard to Adventurer Guild Leader Zellas. Just as Lisa contacted me last time, I went to the dismantling yard in the guild after noon.

Besides Celine, Ney is accompanying her today. When I told Nay that I was dismantling the Harlem Lizard, I noticed that the monster boss who attacked my hometown was worried, and I wanted to come with him.

And instead of Ney, Nicolas was helping out in the cafeteria. Instead, I had an appointment to take a bath with you tonight. I hope I didn't get traumatized by Nay.

When we entered the dismantling site, which had a slight beast smell, we were greeted by Zelas, who was full of vigor as his eyeballs ran blood.

"Oh, you're here, Marc!" You're taking another girl today, aren't you? Are you sure you want to do this? "

"It's not like that."

"Oh, yes! What are you talking about, you fool!"

Nay blushed and spoke up. She is at an age when she is not good at this kind of story. We have to get through this and move on. But Celine shouted before I could open my mouth.

"Hi-hi, so, guild leader? I wonder what happened to the monster Marc gave me?"

Damn, these people don't know how to enjoy conversation these days.

Apparently, after being prompted by Céline, Zelas is reluctant to tease us, inviting us to a large, stone table in the middle. There were several pieces of the Harlem Lizard that had fallen apart on the table.

Zelas begins to explain as he puts his hand on the table.

"This was a special individual registered under the name Harlem Lizard."

It was really called Harlem Lizard. I thought the item box had been given a temporary name because I thought I was a Harlem lizard.

I guess the first person I named was just fine. With that in mind, Zelas continues to explain.

"This is quite a vicious monster." The presence of this guy makes the number of Stone Lizards in the nest a bit worse. There are a few cases where he destroyed a nearby village. This time, it happened to be connected to the mine, but if it hadn't been found, it would have bred more and more and could not be used. "

I thought it was bad luck to be digging a mine and connecting to a nest, but I was rather lucky.

Indeed, there were many eggs in Harlem Lizard's room, and if they all hatched and continued to grow unnoticed... I'd say they were indeed lucky.

"That's why I was worried about dismantling this thing..."

Xelas tilted his neck while pointing at a big boar-sized piece of meat on the table.

"The magic stone had already been removed." That's a brilliant trick already. Whose job is this? "

"... that's a secret." I can't tell you ~? "

Celine knows I pulled out a magic stone using an item box, but she stays silent. Zelas suddenly turned to Celine, but immediately took off his gaze and scratched his head.

"I want to stick around, but I don't want Marc to hate me." Don't ask. Ahhh, I'd like to disciple you if you can handle it so nicely.... is that really impossible? "

Me and Celine shake our heads at the same time. So she finally gave up, and Zellas clapped her hands to change her mood.

"Alright, I won't." Well then, look at this next time! "

Zelas points at the object next to the meat mass. There was a bone that literally shone silver like metal for a moment.

"This is a characteristic of Harlem Lizard, but he is like a hideous person who receives high-quality ore and magic stones from Mother and other lizards and eats them to live..." As we continue with this, the magic stone ingredients fuse into the bone to create a magic bone. "

Zelas grabbed the bone and put his strength into his arms as if to break it. The bone that I thought would break bent like rubber.

"It's a strange bone." It bends softly like this and doesn't break even if you try to smash it. And even though it has such a special bone, Harlem Lizard itself is weak, so it's strange. Some magicians think that the weakness is arousing Mother's desire for shelter.

While saying that, Zellas handed me a bone. When I bent over to try it, it bent easily with just a little force, and as soon as I released the force, it returned to its original shape.

"This will be a good quality material." Have you ever heard of the Light Demon Bone? "

Light Demon Bone!?

Suddenly, Ney shouted. Looking at it, Zelas nodded as if he was convinced.

"I see, my daughter is a dwarf." Then it's not strange to know. "

"... no, I only know my name." "My father didn't tell me any more..." I see, this is the Light Demon Bone..... "

What's wrong with the Light Demon Bone?

Somehow, from Nae's mouth, I feel more than just knowing. Nai opened his mouth while staring at my Light Demon Bones with a bitter face.

"My dad got this Light Bone a few years ago." "But I've failed blacksmithing..." So I failed because I didn't have enough faith in the god of blacksmithing, so I was twisted strangely. And then, that's what happened... "

Speaking of which, Nay's father was a man who only sold things to people he liked out of sight, and who spoke of his faith in the god of blacksmiths. So Nay was working part-time at a tavern in Sadra Mining Village to earn a living, and he's still delivering.

It seemed that the reason for this was the failure of blacksmithing using the Light Demon Bone.

"I see... I'll give you this, then."

When I presented the Light Demon Bone in my hand to Nai, Nai shouted in amazement.

"Huh? What are you talking about!?" This is very expensive, isn't it? Isn't that right, old man? "

"Oh, oh, oh, I'll give you 500 coins."

"Look, that's why you sold it." I can't get this kind of stuff. "

Nay pushes me away with his hand. But I want you to listen to me.

"There's plenty of savings now, and when we transferred, our inn was saved thanks to Nae coming to our house." If it hadn't been for you, I'm sure the cafeteria would have been in trouble. "

I'm going to show Ney the Light Demon Bone again.

"Now I want to do something for Nay." If Nay's father challenges this blacksmith and succeeds this time, he might be able to come back like before, right? "

"Well, that might be the case, but come on..." If I succeed next time, I might be fascinated by the god of blacksmithing. "

"If that happens, maybe we should just abandon it again?" Enough, Nae-chan must have taken care of your father. "

Celine said that she didn't have a lid. But I think that's fine, really.

"That's why, Na-chan, take it." So if you make something, Marc will give it to you... so why don't you ask? "

Ah, that's great!

Then I won't lose, and nobody's a winner.

"That's good, but come on..." Are you sure you want me to take it? "

Yeah, I want you to have it.

"All right... I think you'll be very happy, Dad."

When Nai received the Light Demon Bone, he cherished it with both arms.

"Well then, I'll... go back to the village." I have to give this to my dad. "

Ney squints as he frowns. This was how the time came when I suddenly broke up with Nay.
