Legend

"Mmm!"

With that voice, the dagger released by Bühne is protruded...... Ray gently dodges that blow and snaps up Bühne's leg with a death-size stone poke.

Buune, with his legs clasped up, fell as-is and buried his face in the snow.

"Mmm! Hmm!"

Beaune, who managed to escape the snow by wielding his legs, turns his gaze with the utmost condemnation while remaining faceless to the lay who did it.

"Relax, it's bad that Büne neglected underfoot now, isn't it? Even if it's a speed focus... No, it's because we value speed that we need to be careful underfoot?

A short distance away, Vihera, leaning against the belly of a sleeping ceto and watching the two train, calls out to Bühne in teasing mix.

I know Bühne also got the kind of look he has now because he was a detour, but he was still unhappy with what he was dissatisfied with.

"Mmm!"

Unlike Vihera, Ray cannot understand what Büne is saying.

But still, I only found out that I wanted another fight.

It is also a welcome place for Ray to see that member's fighting power rise in partying in the spring.

Given the role of the party, not all the fighting power…, but it is also true that the strength of other faces still stands out.

Ray with an alias, Vihera powered by the Silver Lion thing, and Marina, a former Rank A adventurer.

In that, the bandit Bühne was clearly weak in combat.

If you are an enemy with some intelligence among the monsters, it is not strange to come after that weakness.

Whatever retarded monsters like Goblin, Beaune would be the aim for monsters like Oak.

... and the fact that Bühne is a woman is also a targeted factor.

I could still say I was a kid, Beaune, but if a monster like Oak asks me if I would consider that, the answer is no.

That's why I could have said it was a must this winter to increase Bühne's combat power to some extent.

Does Bühne understand that too, he trained in combat with Vihera as he did every day?

Ray has been helping out with combat training so much... it was starting again today.

"Mr. Ray, it's terrible! Be nicer to Beaune!

"Yes, yes -! Beaune should work harder!

I can hear that from the inn window facing the backyard.

Büne hardly changes his expression, and the word is basically just 'n'.

But it's true that he still looks neat and adorable.

And the adventurers and merchants at the wheat pavilion at dusk can be winter and few have time to spare.

What happens when that happens...... that was the popularity of Bühne.

"Mmm!"

Having received such cheer - something like that - Büne sets up a dagger to face Ray...

"Whoa! That fight, wait a minute!

"Yikes!

Suddenly my voice interrupts and I scream.

... It was probably a scream, not a cheer, because it was Pamidor who looked ferocious, not strange, when he saw it wrong as the bandit's great parent.

Pamidor's name is also quite well known in the Guild.

Originally known as the know-it-all blacksmith, the name spread once and for all after I got to know Ray.

Most of all, it has become famous for its vicious face, for having an adorable wife while still there, and for being unexpectedly distressed by children.

But many people say they've never seen the real thing, even if they know the name, and I'm guessing it's those people who are screaming now.

Vieira and Buune don't look particularly upset when they see the vicious facial pamidor that suddenly appeared near them.

Because we had heard from Ray originally, and most importantly, he had no such thing as harm or desire for ourselves.

...... in the case of Bühne, it may just not be on his face even if he feels something.

All in all, Vihera was confident that if Pamidor tried to do something, he could repress it immediately, and if it seemed handy, that would have been welcome.

"Pamidor? What's wrong, suddenly"

Ray, who stood Death Size, asks strangely as he solves it.

Beaune also decides whether the training has been discontinued or not, and approaches Seto, who is sleeping.

Once again Ray asks Pamidor what he has come to do, with his gaze, listening to Seto and Vihera and Büne cheering through the window again.

"I'm not here to interrupt you. Look, here it is. Here it is."

That's what Pamidor showed Ray, a dagger.

However, the length is clearly longer than a normal dagger, which is then shorter than a long sword.

The blade is nearly fifty centimeters long, halfway between a certain kind of long sword and a dagger… it was also clearly a weapon of dagger-like length.

And the color of the blade is white.

Ray also understood that the blade, which did not appear to be made of metal, was a substitute made of silver lion nails.

"This... again, you've become quite a characteristic dagger. No, can you call it a dagger? This?

Looking at a weapon that was neither a long sword nor a dagger, Pamidor nodded with the expression that he could understand being told so, to Ray's words, whined with a slight shudder.

"I know what Ray's trying to say. I understand... but I decided this was the best form this weapon could take. If it seems difficult to use of course, I will adjust it later. But as a blacksmith, I can assure you that this weapon is complete."

There's also the dusk spear thing, and Ray trusts Pamidor's skill as a blacksmith.

That's what Pamidor says. Ray received a dagger without complaining...

"Oh?"

Ray shouts an unexpected surprise at the little weight of the dagger he was given.

Clearly the blade is longer than a regular dagger. It's a long time... because it was clearly lighter than a regular dagger in the sense of weight.

"That's a lot lighter."

"Oh. I guess it's a trait of silver lion material. It was a little heavier when it came to the material... perhaps there is still some magic left over from the silver lion, and that would be the effect"

"... I see"

A blade longer than a normal dagger, which would obviously be above a normal dagger in the sense of attack range.

And sometimes it's a dagger with a silver lion's claw, which is clearly above the normal dagger, even in the sense of aggression.

"What do you say? This doesn't mean it's hard to use as that lady's weapon, does it?

"Right.... I just think we need to get used to the difference, considering we've been using daggers before... but it's a lucky winter."

Right? And Pamidor nodding a little proud.

Ray, who was watching such a pamidor, shouts to Büne, who is stroking Seto, with a dagger in his hand that would have just the performance of not being able to complain other than handling weapons.

"Beaune, come here for a second!

The called Bühne leans on his little neck with no expression, as usual, and still approaches because Ray called him.

Were you intrigued by how Bühne was doing, and Vihera... and Seto comes to the Rays too.

"Try holding this. It's the dagger Pamidor asked me to make as your weapon."

"Mmm!"

Squeeze a word at Ray's words and take the dagger.

I gently frowned that it was not as heavy as it seemed, then saw the rare blade color called white and stopped moving for a few seconds, eventually waving the dagger.

Because the length of the blade is different from the dagger usually used by Büne, I guess it feels different when I shake it.

Wave the dagger once, twice, three times, etc. and still tilt your neck if you're not used to the senses subtly yet.

To its adorable appearance, I heard cheers again from the innkeeper, but Ray asks Büne without looking concerned about it.

"What do you say? You think you can use it?

"Mmm!"

Ray turns his gaze to Vihella, to Büne, who shows him the dagger pattern while a little lost.

I generally understood what Bühne was trying to say, Ray, but I still don't understand that word at times like this.

To Ray's gaze, Vihera smiles and opens her mouth.

"The grip on the pattern seems a little thick."

"... Oops? Oh, uh... bad. That was my mistake. Right, it's not for adults to use, so I needed to fit the grip that way."

It was a pamidor in such a way that for a moment I didn't know what Vihella was talking about, but I guess I immediately understood that when it was Bühne who used his own made dagger, that meant he was a little kid with a hand. Nod as convinced.

Most importantly, there was no choice for Pamidor.

Basically, those who come to the store wanting Pamidor to build weapons are mostly those who have served as adventurers.

It would be natural, given that you need the right amount of money to ask an armed pamidor for a job.

... Sometimes houses like noblemen and merchants' sons asked Pamidor for weapons that the rich were not worthy of, but naturally, Pamidor could not have taken such a request.

There have been times before when a man of the same size, vertical and horizontal, in this nobleman's clan, said to confidently let him build his own weapon.

Of course, Pamidor could not have received such a request, and even when he was stared at by a vicious facial Pamidor, he ran away immediately.

Whatever the case, Pamidor has hardly ever made a weapon like the one used by children.

Also, this time it's not just a dagger, it's a Rank S monster's...... a dagger made from silver lion claws and bones.

I'm glad about that, and even if I made some mistakes, I guess I had no choice.

"Right, well, then either fit it tight in the lady's hand, or try to hold the pattern for a bit"

"Mmm."

Beaune grips the dagger pattern as Pamidor tells her.

Watching that, Pamidor will see how much to adjust the pattern.

The sight of Pamidor, who looked like she deserved to call herself the great parent of a bandit, holding Bühne's hand, which is not strange to call her a girl… in some cases a toddler, would even have turned out to be like being called a guard in some cases.

(When it did, it did. So, sounds kind of funny though)

Ray was thinking that as he watched the two of them, but sees Pamidor leave Bühne and asks him what he was wondering.

"With that said, you were pretty quick to build a dagger. Azimov, who asked me to strengthen Slapenil's shoes before you, is still struggling."

"Of course."

To Ray's words, Pamidor answers naturally.

"Of course?"

"Oh. What Azimov is doing is the act of enhancing the finished magic items that are already there. Compared to that, what I did was act like building a dagger from the start. Not to mention, in my case, the process of making daggers isn't that complicated."

So it was so much easier than Azimov.

That's what I'd tell you, Pamidor, but open your mouth before Ray says anything.

"I'll tell you what, it wasn't easy because the work process was easier. That's why we use silver lion materials, so we need to be pretty focused and precise with our hands."

"Well, I know what you're trying to say somehow"

That means Ray is convinced in that way that even if the itinerary itself wasn't difficult, he would have gone with more care than usual for each and every act.

"Huh, you just have to know. And unlike Azimov, which I have to think about in many ways, in my case, technology is well established. Of course some monster materials require various hands, but silver lions are close to the exception. I'm glad I applied my hand at the very least. No, if you put extra hands on Ning Ro poorly, you'll lose quality."

I guess Ray also understood the artisan pride in Pamidor's words, which he confidently tells about his work. Returns just a nod without saying anything more.

"Then it's time for me to go back. The dagger is today... even if it takes time, we can do it tomorrow."

"Okay. Then I'll pick it up tomorrow morning."

In that short exchange of words, Pamidor leaves the courtyard intact.

"Mmm."

Büne, who saw Pamidor leave, whines briefly to Ray.

Viewed it, Vihera tells Ray what Bühne wants to say.

That's what I'm saying.

"Oh. You mean that. It's a top priority to improve Bühne's ability to party with us."

To the words, Bühne remained faceless... and still lowered his head.
