The slavers and the athletes will stay in the real mind and wait for the craftsmen to come back.

To be realistic, I felt anxious to know what was going on inside, but Atal and the others didn't seem to care at all, so I gradually regained calm.

"Yes, I'm the best!

It was Miranda who jumped in while saying so.

"I went back to the workshop and brought the one I wanted the most!

This wasn't a competition, but Miranda is proud to be number one and smiles.

"Well, that's not so bad."

Looking at it, Atal touched the metal and said that way.

It was the first time I saw it, but I could tell by touching it that it was harder and stronger than diamonds.

"That's right, that's right! Anyway, he's got a special metal that's not out there! Its name is also Burdanium!

The name was adopted because it was a dwarf named Bulda who discovered the metal.

"If I could make a tool with this, it would be the best....."

It is Atal's judgment that this metal will be a tool that can process Xuanwu's materials as-is.

"I'm sure you're right... I'm having trouble processing the same materials as you are."

It makes sense to use the hardest metal to process the hardest material, but it makes no sense if it cannot be used as a tool.

"Well, it's going to be okay, but it could be tough."

Atal had assumed a diamond level, so he didn't think about what would have happened so far.

"Well, you don't have to do that, so try the way you're thinking."

"Okay. For now, let's wait for everyone to come back, but let's put the materials Miranda brought first."

Ok!

Miranda, who liked Atal's judgment, slapped Basin and Atal on the back and sat down in a chair nearby.

After that, in less than an hour, the other craftsmen also bring their own materials.

Well then, let's do it quickly.

It was Real, the owner of the workshop, who went on.

"Okay, let me just briefly explain the flow. Let's start by magically sharpening and powdering the metal that everyone brought in."

At this point, the craftsmen show their roughness.

Hard metal brought them closer, but since they are all quite rare metals, their value would decrease if they were powdered.

"Ah, I'm not forcing you, so please take down the material you hate."

The craftsmen listen to this, think about it a little, and as a result, make a decision that a few people will withdraw.

"Nah, you're not manly!

And Miranda shows her anger. This is because the attitude of swinging a stick at a chance to process unknown materials is not artisanal.

"Well, I guess I'm fine. I'm sure it's expensive, and I'm worried about people like me who don't know what to do."

As Atal said, Miranda doesn't talk any more, but I can see that she is obviously dissatisfied by sharpening her lips.

"I have a lot of ideas, so let's continue. Once the metal is powdered, it sticks to the tool that everyone is using, but uses a special adhesive to do so. I haven't made it yet, thinking about when no one wanted it...."

"Wait a minute! Is that what you're putting on a tool with a soul?

One of the artisans interrupts Atal's explanation and asks a question. He regarded the tool as an important collection, and he didn't think it would be a good idea to modify it that way.

"That's how it is. By doing so, the metal part of the tool becomes stronger and can be used to process Xuanwu materials....."

"Mm, I can't! Excuse me!

The man asking the question leaves the workshop after taking away the metal he brought.

Miranda slapped her tongue on this.

"I respect that idea. So, this is a supplement, but the modified tool cannot be undone. Then, if you process this hard material, the tool itself may break, and you have to powder it again and again."

A few more craftsmen left silently due to additional explanations.

"... the rest of them can use the metal as they please. I don't care what happens to the tools. So that's it?

Atal looks at the artisans' faces in turn.

Real, Miranda nodded without hesitation. Other craftsmen continue to nod, but of course there are those who are lost, and they are struggling with answers.

If you're lost, don't do it.

It was a word from Real.

"I care more about the materials. I wonder what I can make with this. That's why I even think it's okay if all the tools don't work. Maybe Miranda will too."

"Of course."

We both intend to accept the risk completely.

"But if you think about tools and materials, I think you should take care of them. If the tool breaks, it's over, but you'll still have a chance to meet a lot of stuff about the materials."

Unlike angry Miranda, she gently persuaded her that she knew how to feel because she was a craftsman.

"I'm sorry, I'll let you go."

Me, too.

From Atal's explanation, rather than Miranda's intimidation, the real words resonated in the chest, allowing the craftsmen to choose the option of going down on their own.

"Well, are there four of them left? That's enough. Now, let's do the machining I just mentioned. Carlo, I need you to sharpen the material. I borrow fire to make glue."

"Yes! Now, come here with the materials."

Carlo follows Atal's instructions.

"Well then, let me show you where the fire is... sorry."

I didn't think there would be so few Reals, and I apologize to Atal.

"Don't worry about it. Let's do it quicker."

Ah.

In these short moments, friendship was sprouting between the two of us...
