My 【Repair】Skill Became an Almighty Cheat Skill, So I Thought I’d Open Up a Weapon Shop
Episode 624: Rumors shadow you.
The meeting then came to an end without delay, and we decided to take a break in the Guild Branch's Mass Dining Room.
Aside from me, there are three members at the table: Garnett and Sophia, and Leila.
Wizards like Ambrose and Hild still had work to do, and they said they would keep them there first, so now they're still acting differently from us.
"Ha... I'm nervous..."
Layla turns around and puts her weight on the table.
The most exhausting of all of us was Layla, no matter what anyone saw.
That is also stronger mental exhaustion rather than physical fatigue, and the fact that the meeting was successfully concluded seems to have taken my mind off it and made my fatigue more and more pressing.
"Me, something's wrong, I didn't make fun of you...?
"No, I was able to play a role without any problems. That's the Heindman family."
"That's not true... I wasn't involved in the Knights or the work of the house... because I've never been to such an important meeting"
While frankly appreciated by Sophia, Leila does not try to break her humble attitude.
"It's my first time and it's all I can do is excel. So does Captain Luke."
"Oh, sure. I felt like I was doing something like this when I was nervous at first, thinking I could handle my head. It's easier to get used to these types of places on foot."
Layla looked up gently and looked at me, opening her mouth like she had not recovered yet.
"What was it like in the first days of the store manager? By the time I first met her, I thought I was used to it."
"Me? Uh, sure, that's..."
Speaking of which, which was the first time I jumped across the adventurer's boundaries and participated in a conference involving a course of action at national level.
If you hardly spoke to the conference itself and think about it, including as much as you gave your opinion back and forth, it should still have been after there was a dragon commotion in Green Hollow.
It was found that the 'Sun Clock Forest', which was thought to be absolutely safe, was connected to the 'Demon King's Castle area', and Green Hollow was about to panic.
In the meantime, I promised to speak up to a high-ranking adventurer I knew to keep the local mess under control.
Adventurers fearing dragons were shown the possibility of being appreciated by high-ranking adventurers, thereby preventing a sharp decline in the town's inns and shops.
"... Huh! So you were in Green Hollow on this call, Master Travis!?
"As it were, well. But the problem is after this..."
I decide to continue answering the questions as I forgive Layla, who has visibly regained her energy.
"The Royal Palace and the Golden Tooth Knights couldn't have been immobile if the shortest route had been found to the territory of the Demon King plotting a ground invasion. That's what's causing me new trouble."
Initially, the Golden Tooth Knights intended to take the time to build a base against the Demon King's Army after completely blocking the 'Day Clock Forest' and tightening out the low-ranking adventurers that were gathering in town to ensure their safety.
But then, it will undoubtedly be the result of a devastating blow to the economy of Green Hollow at the time when ordinary hot springs visitors were dwindling.
Of course, the payment of subsidies had been considered, but it was not easy to revive operations that had once been broken, and His Majesty the King would have liked to take another means if possible.
Being invited by His Majesty because of all the circumstances, I was asked for an opinion by His Majesty, who wanted a multilateral opinion, and I proposed a base building proposal in the ultra-short term to avoid a blow to the economy of Greenhollow.
In short, the idea is to significantly reduce the time required for architecture by dismantling a base elsewhere, bringing it into the 'Day and Clock Forest' and reverting it with my [restoration] skills.
"... so I was made to attend a meeting that was attended by His Majesty, ministers and even the Knights of the Golden Fang in that stream... that's probably my first experience. This building, by the way, is the guy who remodeled some of the facilities he built at that time."
I thought I was going to die of nervousness at the time, but now it's a good experience to look back on.
Because the first time I experienced an extreme state that was nothing more than this, the various great things since then became considered 'easier than when I was made to talk one-on-one next to Your Majesty', so that things could go smoothly.
"I don't know... the manager..."
"Yeah, the captain..."
Layla and Sophia look each other in the eye, and voice each other to say frank thoughts.
"Once again, you've done something really amazing."
"Is it natural to entrust the Lord of this land, albeit formally"
"Right? He's a great guy. 'Cause this guy..."
For some reason Garnett returns a proud reaction on my behalf.
It's ticklish to be evaluated this way toward the face, but more than that, Garnett's reaction shakes up emotions that are many times harder to say.
... No, this seems to be a bigger element of 'Who Said It' than 'What Did They Say'?
If any other friend had made the same statement as Garnett, he would never have felt the same way now.
I decided to switch the conversation somewhat forcefully so that the three of us wouldn't understand my inner emotional movements.
"More than that, it's time to order. I've been watching Silvia for a while now."
"Whoa, no, no, no. I like you guys, too. Order it. You don't have to shy away from paying for it because it's affordable and tasty."
The dining room is an annex to the Spring Young Leaf Pavilion, where Sylvia's mother serves as a damsel, and employees such as cooks are also seconded from the main building in the form of regular shifts.
Sometimes the premise is used by a large number of adventurers, and the food is cheap, many and delicious.
It is luxurious because of the prospect of stable visitors.
That's how I ordered the whole dish and later I just waited to be able to do it, and accidentally the voice of a man I was accustomed to hearing from behind.
"You were here, Luke. Do you mind if I just talk to you for a second?
What was ahead of me looking back was Travis' thick chest plate, standing so close that I couldn't see his face.
