Episode 549: Stacked Challenges and Sanatoriums

"... one day, all of a sudden, there's definitely a guy who wakes up to talent. Maybe that Hazara did the same. But that didn't mean that Claude couldn't catch up from there..."

At least not until that blacksmith tournament.

I don't know what triggered it, but it's also true that Hazara peeled off one or two skins...

Still, it shouldn't have meant that that kind of trigger didn't come down to Crope from now on.

To this, the clope

"Now...... I can see that. Maybe even if the day doesn't come when you can grasp the trigger like that until you die, believing in it and continuing to work hard will create the first possibility. If you give up, you're done there. If you decide to make a blacksmith a natural... it's important that you don't stop walking even if you keep losing."

"If so..."

"But now he's talking about. I couldn't do it at the time. Lose... Some say it was already depressing and a throwaway bowl. After the blacksmith tournament, I stopped getting into the blacksmith... and worried about my master, my brothers, and the Hazaras... and finally, I escaped from Wellphia. You can't be a blacksmith in this city anymore."

"So, to the blacksmith of the stream...?

"That's right... but the first one didn't even want to blacksmith, so I did all kinds of work. But... I'm a blacksmith from the roots, after all. I missed the blacksmith... I would have worked in a blacksmith if I had noticed. Let me use the empty furnace, help fix pots and knives, and when I save up the money, I flow to the next city again... what a repeat. I couldn't get anywhere. I think a lot... only the journey made me forget everything..."

Even if you leave Wellphia, you mean the wound didn't heal easily?

"But now you're a blacksmith in this town..."

"Oh, thanks to Luca."

"Sure... you were talking about Luca and I being childhood friends"

"Oh. I don't remember him."

"Don't you remember?

"Me and Luca are getting married because... we met when I was a flow blacksmith, right?

"Oh... I think I heard that"

"That's not a lie. His house is a wealthy merchant. The blacksmith who lived there contracted the cookware to be wholesaled there, and I helped make him look familiar. So... well, there's a lot going on, and he's like a half-pressed wife... at the end of the day, that's what pushes me off, to get married..."

"You broke a lot of things. Well... Sure, Clope doesn't seem to get married without that..."

"Hey, don't call me Park Min-Jen."

"I wouldn't say that... because blacksmiths are the best, and I'm not interested in women, or anything like that"

"... it's undeniable... but there were more problems than that at the time."

"Problem?"

"That's right. I turned out to be nothing but a flow blacksmith. There's no way a merchant's daughter's gonna come to his wife, and even here, she can't do that to a boulder, which means she can't be responsible."

If you ask me...... sure you do.

It's a clope that doesn't seem to take such consideration or anything, but he still had the common sense to think about that properly.

"But at the end of the day, you're married, right?

"Well, yeah... I can't say no"

"Are you vulnerable to pushing?

"That's not true... I'm going to, but when Luca tells me. Not for a long time... maybe that's because I remember when I was little. Now I'm like this, but I used to be sick..."

"What a surprise."

Even though he looks so resilient doing a blacksmith in any environment.

"Well, when I was really little. Because he was such a body... about half the year he was resting on a beautiful plateau of air."

"... is it actually a good place out there?

"No way. I didn't go to anything like a mansion. The clinic was working with the church... it's like a sanatorium where sick kids are gathered to rest. It would have cost a lot of money, but the civilian population can handle it."

Surely there is such a place.

It's a complex of schools, orphanages and clinics.

The air is beautiful, magically stable, and few demons appear, but it is somewhere despicable away from the city.

Because monasteries and churches are often created and often co-located in such places, it inevitably doesn't cost a lot of money to stay.

Although I may be forced to live a religious life instead.

So it makes sense as a preaching facility.

Clope continues.

"... so that's where I knew Luca when I was in therapy. Even so, he wasn't particularly ill. I was just coming to the villa in the summer heat."

"I hope this exit was Luca's..."

"That's what happened. But there's no such thing as a kid in a place like that. Other than sanatoriums. Luca must have wanted to hang out with kids her age. That's why I used to come to the sanatorium. Well, my dads used to come to church to offer donations and prayers, so I was the first to stick to that, but gradually one of them came. He used to tease me..."

"That's tough for a sick kid."

"Well, even so, I wasn't seriously ill. I'm just a little weak. As soon as I was in the city, I could lay low, but when I was there, I was rather fine. Luca must have figured it out and set a target for me. The others pull too weird, but I don't think I have a problem with it."

"Should I say it has excellent sense of smell..."

"He's kind of a strong wild prospect, though. It's still the same now. Well, that's why Luca swung me around quite a bit... good memories"

"But Luca doesn't remember that?

"That's right. I noticed when we met again, but I didn't tell you because I thought I'd have trouble talking about it and getting snakes. But this is how I ended up getting caught..."
