Ee, Teni Shippai? Seikou?

The name of the alchemist Sam Smith refers to my parents.

Is that so?

In response to Samantha's unexpected confession, Yoichi opened his eyes lightly.

If you look into it, do you think you'll understand?

No, you don't have to look into it.

”Fufu... that's what Yoichi said”

Samuel, Samantha's father, was a fairly skilled dwarf blacksmith, and Sam Smith's name was well known.

One day, Samuel meets Elf Alchemist Jennifer.

"At first, I was very bad friends, and I just wanted to quarrel." But somehow, the distance shrank and we supported each other. ”

Then, the two developed a technique called alchemy blacksmithing that combined blacksmithing and alchemy to make their name in the world.

By that time, the two of them were close friends, and their wife Jennifer did not like to appear, so only Sam Smith's name would be known to the world.

Not many people knew that alchemist Sam Smith was a couple.

However, while the long-lived dwarf and elf couples had been active for more than 100 years, they were often recognized as one alchemy blacksmith, and neither of them dared to correct them.

And Samantha was born.

Originally an elf, it is difficult to have children. Besides, the dwarfs and the dwarves were not well-suited to each other by race, and they were only giving up for the most part, but they were very happy.

"It seems that I was playing with tools before I could put my mind to things."

Haha, I know somehow.

Having been interested in blacksmithing and alchemy since childhood, Samantha was pushed into the technique by her parents.

Not only that, but living in the capital city in an environment where people could touch artisans in various fields, sometimes magicians, scholars, etc., was a major factor in forming her in her childhood.

But the Smiths decided to abandon the life of such a blessed kingdom and move to Mailgrad.

It was only after Samantha had grown somehow.

"There were a lot of rare ingredients picked up in Mailgrad, but only a fraction of them reached the King's City." So I grew up, and I decided to go there. "

It's more about curiosity seeking new stimuli than staying in a cozy place.

At that time, the technology was more underdeveloped than before, and the roads were not well-developed.

I was prepared as much as I could, and I came with more than 100 people, but I was able to reach less than half of the tough journeys.

And among the victims was Samantha's mother, Jennifer.

When I arrived in Mailgrad, my father and daughter ran the workshop.

Samantha will support him on his mother's behalf, and the name of alchemist Sam Smith will be known to the world around him.

The busy and fulfilling days of my father and daughter running the workshop suddenly ended one day.

There was a monster group rampage (stampede).

At that time, Mailgrad had fewer soldiers and fewer adventurers.

Therefore, the craftsmen and merchants also took the weapons and fought to defend the city.

In the battle, my father Samuel also lost his life.

Alana, you were amazing back then.

It was a monster group rampage (stampede) that occurred when Alana was still in her teens before she met Yoichi.

"That's why I took over the name of alchemy blacksmith Sam Smith, but honestly, it's pressure." But, well, we have no choice but to do it. "

Samantha became younger and gained more fame than she could, but she could not defeat the pressure of her name and continued to refine herself.

Isn't there any pressure now?

"Yes, I am proud to have surpassed my parents."

Samantha stretches her chest as she says that.

I see, that's amazing.

Yoichi, who felt confident that his efforts and experience had surpassed the great ancestors, replied briefly with deep admiration.

"But, well, it's a big blessing for parents." Talents, education, and the environment. In that sense, I was lucky, too. "

But Samantha did her best after that, didn't she?

Isn't that the same for Yoichi?

”No... yeah... I guess”

At first, it was a skill that I had accidentally acquired, but it was Yoichi himself who decided how to use it and how to live.

In the meantime, I have made efforts that I could not imagine in my life, and I have overcome many difficulties and accumulated various experiences.

There is nothing to be ashamed of.

"I won't tell you to lengthen your chest, but you don't have to lengthen your spine."

Samantha said that and gave an unbearable smile, and Yoichi smiled.

Yeah, that's right.

Talk with Samantha made Yoichi's journey lighter, and soon arrived at the cottage he had booked.

"Yoichi, come in first."

Fine, but what's wrong?

Yeah, a little bit.

Samantha gazed at the cottage from a distance from Yang Yi, meaningfully speaking, and began to explore the porch raised on her waist.

Yoichi doesn't care if he has any thoughts, but he goes inside.

The size is so-so, isn't it?

I chose a place that wasn't very spacious because I was spending time alone with them.

There is only one table for four people in the living-dining room of about 10 tatami mats, and there is only a minimal water circulation.

Up the stairs, there are four sets of single-sized mattresses and bedding in the loft area of about 8 tatami mats.

It was a cottage that could accommodate up to four people.

Even if you look at the total floor space, it is only half of "Grand Court 2501", and even then, the accommodation fee for one night is equivalent to the rent of the apartment for half a year.

There was a cardboard box on the dining table. This was sent in advance by Yoichi and contains clothes and household goods.

For Yoichi, who has [Infinite Storage Ω], there is no need to bother arranging it, but it is suspicious if you come without your hand and without your luggage, so I prepared it to deceive you.

"Phew..."

Yoichi, who had put the cardboard in [Infinite Storage Ω], sat on the chair.

It's cheap to look at, and it's not very comfortable to sit on.

Here we go again.

Samantha came into the cottage just a breath away.

"What were you doing?"

You've set up a magic tool to inhibit recognition.

I see. Thank you.

I didn't want to interrupt their time, so I installed a magic tool.

Yoichi, who perceived it, honestly thanked him. Because he felt the same way.

What about Meshi?

They had breakfast at the hotel, but three hours later, they were hungry.

If you want something to eat, you can usually get something to eat.

Yoichi stored a number of freshly prepared dishes in [Infinite Storage Ω].

It's a big deal, so let's buy something from the stall.

Having said that, Samantha pulled out her chair and sat next to Yang Yi.

But maybe a cup of coffee would be a treat.

"All right."

Yoichi took out two coffee cups from [Infinite Storage Ω] and arranged them in front of him.

I went on to take out the servers and pour coffee into each cup.
