20 minutes after the dragon diner.

When I went to the district where Gumd taught me, I knew immediately which building the blacksmith guild was. A building like a smoking workshop in a huge building and grounds. All those who enter and leave are tough men.

That would definitely be the blacksmith guild. If it wasn't, it'd be more interesting.

As I approach, I see a sign with a crest crossed by a hammer. Was it still a blacksmith guild?

When I go inside, I have a dim, very compressive atmosphere. The ceiling is low, and I thought you were making it like this deliberately to freak out the people who came in? It was so intimidating that it seemed so. I guess it feels like The Hard Boiled Man's Workplace.

"Mm, what can I do for you?

The reception is completely different from the glittering reception of the Adventurers Guild. Mr. Machodwarf, with a sharp eye, asked in such a low voice that he wondered if he was threatening him.

"Looking for people"

"Well, it's not our job. It's an Adventurer's Guild."

Oh, it's not amazing. The protagonist who entered the tavern ordered milk, which is not in the master. It reminded me of scenes where people say things like that.

"What I'm looking for is Garth, the blacksmith"

"I don't know. Is this it?

"Not good. Get me someone who knows me better. This is a souvenir."

"Ho?

That's Dwarf. You changed your look just because you saw the booze.

"This guy... Oh!

It was a dwarf who tried to reach for a bottle of wine that Fran placed on the counter, but takes up the liquor bottle in front of it. He was a dwarf staring at a liquor bottle with resentful eyes, but Fran ignored it and turned the liquor bottle into dimensional storage.

"Let out someone who was close to Garth or who seems to know where he is"

"... wait a minute"

The Dwarf at the reception pulls into the back. 10 minutes to be left unattended.

"Follow me."

"Mmm."

He was finally led back by a Dwarf, and Fran had been put through to an underground room. Diving into the big door, it was a small room there. However, I can tell that the conditioning is lavish and that it is a great human room there. However, the lights are only indirect lighting in the four corners of the room and are very dim. If it wasn't Dwarf, it would be too dark.

"Chief Guild, I brought you here."

"Oh, thank you so much."

What a guild leader's room it was. I don't have a name. Is that the effect of booze? Is this because you gave me Garth's name?

I give a bottle of booze to the Dwarf at the reception who tried to walk away.

"Mm-hmm? Is that good?

'Cause there's more.

"Well, thank you."

It's my first smile of the day all of a sudden! How far do you like booze, Dwarf?

"Hmm? Is that booze?

"Mm. Souvenirs"

"Then we need to talk seriously. Plus, Princess Black Thunder says she's scared when she pisses you off."

He still seemed to know about Fran. But he only knew the alias to say Princess Black Thunder and the information to say Black Cat women. Still, I was able to identify Fran as Princess Black Thunder for several reasons. Now, among adventurers and those close to it, it is said that the rumor is that Princess Black Thunder has entered Barbora.

And he looked directly at Fran and seemed to think that there couldn't be a Black Cat clan that strong. As a result, you must have been convinced that Fran was the rumored Black Thunder Princess.

When Fran tells him he's looking for Garth, the guild leader thinks in a difficult face. This reaction. Sounds like the guild leader knows about Garth.

"Could the name of Princess Black Thunder be Fran?

"Didn't you know?

"Oh, we only passed on aliases"

"Mm-hmm. My name is Fran"

"Was it previously called the Devil's Sword Girl?

"Mmm."

Why are you checking there?

"Right...... I don't even know where Lord Garth is."

Master?

"True."

Don't you even know the guild leader?

"But I know some circumstances. Everything we're going to talk about is confidential. Don't tell anyone, okay?

"Mm-hmm. My mouth is strong."

"I hope so. Lord Garth has now received a confidential request from the nobles"

"Confidential request?

"Oh, I don't even know what it is... On a direct request from the grand nobleman, he just couldn't say no. I didn't like it till the end."

Can we not ignore the request of the great nobility, even in Garth? If you say no, it's not just Garth, it might even annoy the blacksmith guild or something.

"You mean kidnapped?

"No, I'm sure it was forceful, but it's not that bad. It's an official request."

"Yes."

I'm not lying. Garth couldn't get in touch with him because he received a confidential request that he couldn't refuse.

"Actually, I have a letter from Lord Garth for you. When Fran, the Devil's Sword girl, showed up, she asked me to give it to her. Once the Devil's Sword girl showed up, she arranged for immediate news to come to Noh..."

The Devil's Sword girl didn't come. I guess Garth didn't think his alias would change in a short time either. After the change, the name of Princess Black Thunder spread all at once. I miss the time when they called me the Devil's Sword Girl.

"This is it. I don't even know what it is."

"Mmm."

Sounds like it's true to say you don't know what's going on.

"Oh, don't read it here. I can't believe we talked about a top-secret request from the country in the first place. I don't want to get involved any more."

He's crossing a pretty dangerous bridge, even just to say he deposited Garth's letter.

"Okay."

That said, we received a letter and handed over the liquor that we had brought for the souvenir and left the blacksmith guild behind.

I'm curious as to what it says, but it would be better to open it where there are no people.

"I'm staying overnight anyway, so let's take the inn and open it in the room there."

"Mm-hmm. Okay."

Decide to use the lodging on the Alliance's side. I have to go to the guild tomorrow.

"Mmm, good room"

'Cause that's what I did.'

15,000 Gold a night. I took the best room with a bath.

Fran said it's good in a cheap room, but you can't keep Princess Black Thunder in a cheap room, can you? Well, it's my pleasure. This is all the aliases spread, and I need to make sure I can't lick them.
