Leave Nay on the answering machine and hike the slope that leads from the back entrance of the Beyan shop. Beyan, Celine, Delica walk with a cool face, and although I'm a little tough, I'm not as tough as my little sister in the back.
Haahah, it's tight... Oniichan, this is your chance to treat your sweaty little sister. Why don't you take this opportunity?
Walk outside a little more than usual. Isn't this a good training for Nicolas?
Ku, training maniac......
Nicolas looked at me with a grudge as she sweats. I just want to thank you for pulling Nicolas' sweaty hand.
"Hey, little lady. Your uncle's leg is completely healed, isn't it?
As he approached Nicolas, Biyan stretched his legs up and down to appeal to him.
"Yeah! Uncle is amazing!
Nicolas turned around and answered Byan with a smile. You can only admit your guts to protect the exterior.
After a while walking along the ramp, I saw the end of the ramp. It is flat, and in the middle is a stone building with sturdy doors.
"This is my warehouse. What do you say? I think we can see the mine from around here."
Bján points to the opposite mountain. As he approached the cliff, the settlement spread at his feet, and on the other side of the mountain, which sandwiched the settlement, he saw a mine with a splendid entrance.
I wonder if that's the mine. Near the entrance of the pit, three miners who appeared to be watching were sitting in their chairs with their hunches.
"You look good! Can I take a tour here?
Yeah, that's fine.
"Thank you, uncle!
Byan is a good man. Because of the connection and popularity, I think we can handle expensive glass products. Let's hope the adventurers arrive as soon as possible.
"Hey, Beyan! There's a visitor!
With that in mind, suddenly Nay's voice rang from the bottom of the slope.
Oops, I guess I'll go back then.
Byan talks to us, and now he starts going down the hill.
Nearly without a break, Nicolas's face was dyed in despair, but without realizing it, Beyan drove down the slope lightly as if he were driving his newly healed leg.
――――――
Beyan started a deal with a local customer, so we decided to spend some time at the Beyan shop.
Nicolas is breathing down the aisle with the chair and drink I offered her. He has eyes like a dead fish, so he won't move a step from here for a while.
"Now, what are we going to do to crush time until the adventurers attack the nest? It sounds like you've heard the story, and I think you're coming to the settlement today."
"If you're free, I'd like to sneak into Nay's shop, okay?
"Hmm? Oh, good. Let's see."
I got Ney's permission and decided to go inside.
Inside the shop, there are treadles, hammers, shovels, and various tools that can be stowed or packed in a large basket. Speaking of dwarf blacksmiths, I was worried about weapons and armor... oh, I found them.
The swords and shields that were well equipped to decorate the walls were quite splendid compared to the tools that were placed in the clutter.... the price is pretty good, too.
"Oh, do you like weapons and armor? I knew it was a man!"
Nay stretched her chest with her hands behind her head.
"Did Nay's father make this weapon?
"Oh, that's right. But it's a settlement like this, and there's no one here to buy weapons. I rarely sell it."
"Oh, Ney, are you a customer?
That's why I came out of the back of the store, which is taller than me, but lower for adult males. He is also a bearded man. Ney's father would have called him a dwarf.
"Oh, Dad. These are the adventurers from the town of Fathia."
"Nah!? An example of the Nest Crusader Adventurer has arrived! Then take a good look at your weapons and armor! It's my masterpiece! This sword, for example..."
Ney's father approached Celine vigorously to start explaining the weapon, but Celine stopped talking pitifully.
"Ah, we're not in the same situation. And unfortunately, there's nothing we can equip."
"I see...."
Nay's father drops his shoulders. Looking at it, Ney sounded tired.
"What about my father? I'm glad I opened the shop here, but as you can see, weapons and armor are barely sold around here. If I had no choice but to start making tools for miners, they would sell me quite a bit, so I managed to live my life...."
Nay sighed and went on.
"The tool has my soul in it, and it will be sold at a very high cost. So I went to work at the tavern and managed to live a better life."
"I told you not to do anything else. Practice blacksmithing when you have time."
"Shit, then raise the selling price of the tool. If I don't get to work as it is, my living expenses will be critical."
"I can't do that! I can't forgive the forgiveness of the god of blacksmiths to profit from what I hate to make!
... it's kind of tough. It seems that Nay's dedication as a dwarf craftsman is responsible for his part-time work at the tavern.
Looking at the continuing argument between parents and children, two guests came in through the entrance.
Chi woo. I heard you sell weapons and armor here, but... oh, that's Marc. "
Short-cut, brown-haired teenagers look at me and say, It was Rack the Adventurer and Jack the brother of the town of Fathia who showed up.
