Episode 165: Lower Vampires and Blacksmiths

"Oh, we're both here? What can I do for you today?

That's what Alize asked us when she approached us.

"Oh, kind of."

"... a story that got in?

"It's not like that...... I have some business and we're leaving this city for a while. So I thought I'd tell him I was off for a while."

With that said, Alize looked surprised,

"... for a while, a year or two?

I'm going to say.

Lorraine shook her head and answered because we didn't mean to.

"No, no, about two weeks. So after that, I can teach you a lot more."

Then Alize looked relieved,

"... good. I knew it, I thought you'd be gone forever. I don't mind if that's about it."

I said.

Nothing, I don't mean to sneak out of the city for a long time, but I wonder why I thought so.

I asked, curious.

"Again. Why, what have I always thought?"

Then Alize,

"Because., for once, Lent is looking to be a divine silver" Mithrill "class adventurer, isn't he? Then it would be much quicker to go to Wang Du, and Master Lorraine is an amazing magician and an amazing scholar. I was wondering if I'd be going to the city any sooner than I was in this neighborhood..."

I see. I don't know. It's a story.

I do think that eventually.

But it's not that time of year yet.

Still, it looks like there's some difference between me and Lorraine's Alize rating...

I'm "aiming for once", Lorraine is "an amazing mage and scholar"... hmm.

Well, am I wrong?

to Alize's dialogue, Lorraine laughed,

"... I'm not such a big scholar. Even the witchcraft arm, well, I don't think it's bad, but there it is. Neither did Lent... It is true that he is aiming for the Divine Silver (Mithril) class, but I said if he can do it in the King's Capital... just a little bit more. I'll be here till I hit the basics of a magician and an adventurer so hard on Alize."

That's what I said.

In fact, I'm going to.

Well, it won't take that long enough to teach you the basics, and I'm going to teach you temperament in the first place.

A year, even if it's too long, it's okay to get out for a few months, come back once in a while and teach each time a little.

In that sense, you don't have to worry about Alize.

Alize nodded at Lorraine's words,

"Then good...... When you're gone, I don't feel like an adventurer."

That's what Lorraine says, to it,

"Really? Well, even if you couldn't be, you're going to be a storyteller or a bard then. As far as the earlier readings go."

and answer jokes.

Alize never seemed to think she was being asked,

"What, were you listening? Embarrassing......"

and dye your cheeks red.

I...

"It wouldn't be anything to be ashamed of. It's just that the traveler is not the cook. Is it tense to eat?

"Lent! That's not true...... but I guess I'd like to go if I really had a cooking country"

I say with a laugh.

Culinary country, huh?

Such a thing does not exist in this world.

Because it's just a fictional country created by Alize.

But if there is a dream country where all the food in this world can be eaten......

You'd want to say it even if you were an adult.

The nobles, because they always want gastronomy, or the ingredients of demons that make them delicious, they buy them at such a high price as abalone.

Around here it's only about pork ghost "oak" meat, but there's a lot more to it in other parts of the world.

Maybe a moving mushroom or a fish swimming in the air.

"You're kind of getting hungry talking about that... well, that's okay. Alize, it doesn't have to be now, but next time, can't we have a little time?"

When I say that,

"Why?"

I've been asking, so I say.

"I was going to build a weapon for Alize, I came to get the material, so I want to go to the blacksmith to take my measurements. And I plan to create a magic catalyst. Of course, I don't mind today."

Well, all of a sudden it was a dialogue that I thought would not come today and yes, let's go.

In the meantime, I was just going to say that I can't lecture you today and ask you someday if I could get some time.

Of course, it would be easier if I could go now... but not all of this.

Alize is busy with this.

But Alize, unexpectedly,

"Hmmm. I don't have any particular plans today, so I guess I'll be fine...... just ask Master Lillian, can we?

I came to say.

Not that we're free...... but it's perfectly fine as long as we wait a little.

Because if you can't, I was just going to walk to buy something small for the trip today.

So we snort.

"Oh, there's no problem. I'll wait here."

When I answer that, Alize says,

"Yeah, okay. Okay, wait a minute!

That's what I said, I left the chapel.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

After a while, Alize came back.

The answer was that we would still be fine today, so we decided to go to the blacksmith together.

When it is finished, during this time, the material of the shrub spirit (Shrubs Ent) that has been defeated is used to produce the short wand Wand.

Not necessarily just for Alize, but also for wanting my short wand Wand because I want to practice magic with quite a bit of catalyst on a journey that lasts two weeks.

"... Ah, Lent... and to Mr. Lorraine... uh"

It's been a long time since Crope's blacksmith, "The Trident," and first of all, it was Luca, Crope's wife, who was the store's number, who greeted us.

When she looks at my face, she looks surprised or nostalgic.

Now, I guess it's because the mask is enough to cover the bottom half of my face.

It's been a long time since I've shown my face here as a former Lent Fina, and that's why I have that look.

"Ah. This is Alize. Me and Lorraine's disciples. So, I'm here to ask for some weapons. Is Crope here?

"Yep...... yes, just a minute. I'll call you now...... you! You!!"

and Luca ran out as she shouted so toward the back blacksmith.

Looking at her afterwards, Lorraine said,

"... okay? Let me see."

And I've asked briefly,

"Well, fine. You didn't show your face because it was that (...). No more concerns, and now... no problem"

I have Alize, so it's just an instructional conversation, but Lorraine knows exactly what I'm talking about.

In other words, he was only an immortal (undead) before, but now he looks like a normal person.

Plus, the Holy Flame cleared up the vampire vampire suspicion, so there won't be any more trouble in this store.

Alize is leaning her neck, but now she is a hard worker.

You felt there was something you shouldn't have gotten into the conversation between me and Lorraine, and, hey, you left us and started observing the weapons lined up around there.

"Well... if you're a registered Adventurer's Union (Guild), well, you'll figure it out, and I guess that's fine"

That's what Lorraine said and nodded, knowing the monkey in the Adventurers Union (Alliance) registration relationship, so I nodded at it too, then approached Alize, who was watching the weapons at the store.

"Did you like anything?

Alize didn't really touch my earlier conversation with Lorraine.

"Hmmm...... I don't know, but I don't think I can hold much heavy stuff either. I guess so"

And he answered, looking at the sword that seemed heavy even in the line of stores.

Sure, that one... sounds harsh to me, too.

You can't have it now, and you'll shake it, but you won't have the courage to use that to be a solo adventurer.

Alize would definitely crush just having it.

"... well, you don't have to worry about the extremes that far. Besides, the blacksmith I'm about to meet is a good veteran blacksmith. You'd better make up your mind while we talk."

"Really? Will Lent and Master Lorraine consult with me?

I nod deeply and reply to Alize, who has asked me what it is like to be a disciple.

"Of course."
