Episode 19: The Blacksmith of the City Malt

Since then, I have handed Lorraine various materials, demon stones, etc. that are my achievements in the labyrinth, and she has redeemed them in the Adventurers' Union (Guild), and my nostalgia is very warm now because it has been a good amount of money.

Lorraine herself bought me a lot of clean slime fluid.

Even the Adventurers' Union (Guild) picks it up for a medium high price, but the terms do not dictate that it should be sold elsewhere.

Whoever you sell it to, it's basically an adventurer's freedom.

Lorraine is an instrumentally poor person who also has hands on the alchemy kind, she can dispense herself and make various drugs, so she wants a lot of materials, and when she brings something that matches that demand, she takes the materials away at a good value.

When I buy from the Adventurers' Union (Alliance), there is a mid cut, and I'm talking about it being cheaper considering that.

By the way, what I'm doing right now, I'm wandering around the city.

Of course, I'm not just trying to get some city air that seems like a long time ago, but for a solid purpose.

It is a purchase of firearms.

Ever since I became a corpse-eater ghost, or skeleton, I've been using the weapons I had in my lifetime, but whatever my protective gear is, there's been a lot of crap coming to the weapons.

From my lifetime, I've been using it for a few years, and that's why, although there will be, I seemed to be more vulnerable to the effects of increased simple arm and other powers of magic and chi than that.

Naturally, because I was not able to say that I should use the power of chi or something like that once a day, and that I could not first put magic, holy chi, etc. into a weapon, I did not use it for that purpose, I came using a cheap weapon.

That's how much magic, chi, and holy chi have been used over the past few days, which has put a strong strain on me and caused my wounds to progress considerably.

I don't have a choice anymore.

I originally intended to use it for another year or so, but it was irreparably damaged by the impact of not even being able to take care of it busily because I was diving into the labyrinth for a few days.

However, thanks to the increase in power, the hunting efficiency is increasing, and the nostalgia is warming up as a result, and Lina bought a robe or something to return it to, so when combined, she has a good amount of money.

I thought it would be time to replace the armor around here.

Well, that being said, you still can't buy protective equipment.

Because in order to buy it, you have to adjust the dimensions thoroughly, and in order to do that, you need to pull out the robe and have the dimensions measured.

Nothing, not that I don't like being naked.

I'm not a young girl.

But even more than such a daughter, I have a reason not to go expose my skin.

Who the hell can show the dead body of the corpse-eating ghost Ghoul like this?

I can't.

Unless you're so trustworthy.

I only have about Lorraine, like someone I can trust that far.

As for Lorraine, she has a huge messy personality that doesn't care about the details, because it's huge...

In the first place, credibility isn't the only problem.

When I'm supposed to be something like this, just saying I'm involved creates a problem.

So, so far, besides Lorraine, it would be tough to show this body.

Therefore, only the sword, which is also a weapon, is purchased today.

I opened the door ready as I looked up at the sign of the destination I had reached.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

"Welcome!...?

At the same time I walked into the store, it was one woman who called me that.

This store is Luca, the wife of Clope, the owner of the blacksmith Trident.

A woman with blue eyes in her golden hair, looking like a lady, and I don't understand why she became Crope's wife.

Her gaze stopped for a moment with me in her eyes.

Probably because he's hiding his whole body in a robe and wearing a creepy skeleton mask or something on his face.

I think so, I'm a little close to Luca, I say.

"... bump, guys, for your sake... su, sorry, no"

But Luca shook her head hastily at the words,

"No! It's not. It's not... because it's something you kind of resembled someone you know. It's not unusual for an adventurer to wear a mask. I'm sorry to turn my gaze on you."

That's how I apologized.

Well, you're used to these suspicious customers, too.

Then Luca,

"... By the way, how good are you today? Are you asking for weapons because you were in the Trident? Or take care of it?

"Ah, oh. If you want it, you want it, you want it..."

That's what I say, I put a sword in my sheath on the table.

Even without explaining it in particular, Luca seems to have figured out its intentions,

"Now if you'll excuse me,"

That's what I said, pulled my sword out of my sheath, and I saw it.

She is the wife of Crope, the blacksmith at this store, but this is how she deals with customers in stores, and her eyes are certain.

Needless to say, I can see some quality and pain as well, not to mention the type of weapon.

From her eyes like that, what about the sword I brought?

"... This looks like we're going to have to replace it. Do you have any hopes? From the wounds of the sword, I see you as a carefree user of some sorcery...?

It shouldn't be that easy to tell, but it seems self-evident from her eyes.

It's nothing to hide, so I'll be honest.

"Oh... mahogany, kiddo, grab... because, too. So do it..."

"… Have it all, is it? This is unusual again. You're the second."

"If you can, Himitsu, to...?

"Of course that is. Because blacksmiths don't seem to be able to keep your secrets. But with that order...... the price is better. And I think it'll take a few days...?

Well, that would be, I thought.

Anyway, few people can use magic, care, or sanctity.

It's not like two, but three are pretty rare.

You can't be making weapons for humans like that.

Besides, usually blacksmiths make weapons for those who care about magic.

Few holy feelings in the first place, because the priests are the majority, and when they want weapons, they order them directly from the stores.

I mean, I had a pretty rare order.

So I can see the amount of money going on.

"Kama, wow, no. It's just... there's me, there's me, there's a lot, so..."

That's what I said, I put my unpacked fortune on the table in a cloth bag.

It's quite packed with gold and silver coins, and from me it's a fortune.

Of course, from a high-ranking adventurer it may not be a big sum......

Luca checks the contents, and then,

"... I was wondering if I could make enough if this is all you have. But for payment, so far, it doesn't matter if it's half price. The other half, when you give it to me, so"

"Okay, you?

They're trying to make something pretty special.

It seemed like it would cost a lot of money to buy, and so it was a dialogue, Luca said,

"Yep. But I don't know what to say in its place...... my husband...... please stay with the store owner and blacksmith clope for a while. Because clopes are cohesive… Perhaps I'll call you a few times while I'm making them"

That's what I said.

Crope has been a blacksmith for a long time since I became an adventurer.

So I know that personality too.

Regardless of the normal sword, when it comes to making something like what I ask for, there is something like repeating the prototype with a thorough focus.

So I can say that I expected this Luca word in a way.

I snort at Luca.

"Kawawa, no... at that time, give me the crap, the crap, the crap, the crap."

Lorraine told me that when I was in the city, I should use my house instead of an inn, so that's what happened.

Luca, this seemed the most surprising, eye-opening, but soon returned to the sales smile to

"I understand. Well, first of all, I'll pay you back."

That's what I said, give me back my wallet with half the price off, and then,

"Then come this way. I'm sure you'll hear a lot about the weapons you're about to build from Crop."

That's what led me to the back of the store.
