123. Talk to Mr. Egil

As soon as I get to Mr. Egil's store, I'll call him.

"Mr. Egil, are you there?

That's right. A while later, Mr. Egil came out of the back.

"Miss again, now what?

"Could you look at this knife again?

When he said so and offered the knife, Mr. Egil received the knife and removed it.

Then he gave the look of surprise. Then I heard this when I thought I had seen the sword carefully.

"It's completely demonized. Besides, this purity is definitely first-class. Did the lady do this?

"I gave it a try and I could do it. But I didn't know if it was completely magical, so I came to Mr. Egil."

"Really... Don't do this in public, okay? Definitely get caught up in trouble."

I'm not going to do this in public, but are we going to get into that much trouble?

"Really?

"Oh, it seems that the people who were experimenting were quite there and the nobles were carrying them in and doing a lot of work. Looks like the lady did that by herself..."

"I see..."

That, indeed, could get you into trouble. There are also large numbers of people and large-scale experiments. If a kid like me could do that, I could definitely get eyes on him because then he would be spending huge amounts of money as well. Well, I don't think I can catch you unless there's a lot going on, but if you take someone you know hostage, it could be a hassle...

"I haven't done anything else difficult..."

"Right...... If you want money, if you make me some magic iron, why don't we buy it off?

"Huh? Are you gonna do that to me?

I was a little surprised by Mr Egil's suggestion. I do want the money, but I don't know how much Demon Iron is worth.

"How soon can you buy it out because of this?

"Right... per ten kilo gold coins"

... a lot? I'm a little bit confused, but considering what I've earned so far, it's a pretty big deal. Plus, if you think it's magic training, maybe you can get paid.

"Of course we'll have the iron, so you don't have to worry about it"

"Okay. Is there anywhere just right without people?

"... follow me"

The room we arrived in was not that big, but it was like a training ground.

"You're hardly supposed to see people here, but if the lady's all right, we're talking."

"Can I borrow it here?

"Oh, I rarely use it. Whatever it is, I'll call you..."

Mr. Egil was trying to misrepresent himself a little. Do you care that speaking up means I could come in when I'm working? I don't mind being looked at separately because you're going to rent Mr. Egil's place...

"It's okay to be seen as Mr. Egil, isn't it?

"Right...... If there's anything else, I don't mind using it besides making magic iron, and I'll pay for what I see."

"I don't do anything else to ask for consideration. Just keep the method to yourself. Because Egil said that earlier, I will be careful. And besides making demon iron, can I use this room?

"I don't mind if that's the case, but I'll pay for the technology."

"Nothing like that."

"Take it. You don't have a problem with money, do you?

"... ok. Then I'll make it for a try, so there's nothing I can use?

"Wait a minute."

That's what I said. I left the room and came back a while later.

"Is this okay?

That's what they gave me. It's the kind of sword I left at the entrance to the store. Well, I don't care because I think any sword would be fine.

"Then we'll start, won't we?

That's what I'm going to say. I'm going to let the magic flow just like I did earlier.

How long has it been since then? It's about time, okay? I thought, so I stopped running magic and gave it to Mr. Egil.

"... it's turned into a magic iron"

"Well, here's the thing"

"I was surprised I could do it so quickly. Doesn't that force you through magic, too?"

"Do you even know that?

"Hmm? Well, for once. Let's just get some iron in this room and put it down. And as for the consideration, just wait a while and I'll have it ready soon."

"Okay."

"I'll pay for this sword for now. Wait at the entrance to the store."

That said, Mr. Egil left the room, so I made the move to the entrance to the store, as Mr. Egil told me.

I waited at the entrance to the store and Mr. Egil came back and gave me the money, so I looked inside and there were ten pieces of gold in there.

"Huh? So much?

"Don't worry, it's not a lot"

"Huh? But"

"I don't care. Besides, it's already dark today, so go home. I don't mind just when I want to do the earlier thing. Use that room as you please."

That's all Mr. Egil said, he disappeared into the back.

I don't know how expensive the Magic Iron is, but isn't it too good a treat? And that's what I thought. Then after a while I went back to the inn.
