Price of Management

Goose was obsessed with making swords without rest for two months.

After the autumn and early winter, the sword was completed.

Mythril long sword. Only the finest swords on the continent, built for Duke Krail Meutt!

Goose did not conceal his excitement as to whether he liked his work.

“I can't believe I made this! I'm not ashamed to offer it to Duke Meutt. ”

“If old Goose can say so, he truly is the greatest sword on the continent. ”

“Haha, you've raised this old man too high. ”

The Mythril Long Sword was wrapped around the neck well.

I asked Lord Casto, a loyal knight, to deliver this to Duke Meutt.

Lord Casto happily agreed.

“It's an honor to carry a sword that Duke Meutt might use. I understand.”

“Thank you, Lord Casto. ”

It was probably 15,000 Redinas, so I needed to leave it to someone I could trust.

Now all I have to do is wait. I wonder if it will work.

* * *

“Greetings, Duke Meutt. My name is Rick Castor, author of Kunt. Today I'm here to deliver this to the Duke on Baron Karoc Kunt's errand. ”

Casto politely reached out his neck in both hands.

“Baron Karoc Kunt sent you to tell me? ”

“Yes, Your Majesty. ”

Duke Meutt accepted the neck.

“I got it. ”

“Yes.”

Duke Meutt once again said that something had come to mind.

“You must be tired from coming. Stay for three days. If you want, you can visit the joint training ground of the disciples. ”

The words made Casto's face brighter.

Temple of Knights.

This was the dream place of the Leaden Kingdom knights.

Visiting his disciples' training grounds that had already been renowned for their skills and prestige was an honor for ordinary knights like Castor.

“Thank you!”

After Casto leaves, Duke Meutt looks out at his neck.

"Caroc."

I heard he is a young man who has helped His Majesty a lot.

Especially during the Black Death, King Leaden acquired a lot of medicines in advance with Caroc's advice, and he was able to recover some of the money that had been depleted.

I was curious enough to hear one thing. He considers giving his army the right to deliver weapons.

Suddenly, he asked you to lend him your sword for five minutes. That's all I'm asking.

What the hell was I thinking?

He thought he was an interesting young man.

I opened the collar.

Mythril long sword with a silver glow.

“What a useless thing.... ”

Duke Meutt mutters.

The knight does not merely change his weapon. It is because there is only one weapon in the world that is ripe.

So Duke Meutt has been using his Misrill Long Sword for 30 years. Even though the misrel was worn out for 30 years, it could never be replaced with a new one.

Mythril Long Sword, a gift from Caroc, was a meaningless gift to Duke Meutt.

I felt even more sad because it seemed like it was made at a glance.

‘But you made it really well. ’

At first glance, the balance of the sword fits very well. There aren't many craftsmen in the world who can refine such an elusive misrel.

‘If you're an artisan like that, you'll also know that knights who reach that height don't just turn weapons into fools. ’

Duke Meutt, who had a strange heart, reached for the sword in his neck.

Phew.

Holding the handle spreads a strangely stable and familiar feel.

Duke Meutt was flawed.

I took it out.

The length and weight were perfect. It was a sword completely for himself.

“Huh……. ”

For the first time, admiration comes from the mouth of Duke Meutt.

‘A new sword. ’

It's been a long time since Duke Meutt's excitement has awakened.

Kuaa!

The error that flowed out like a blue azure shaped the sword like a solid. That was the strength only the Error Master could wield.

Boo!

The strong tore the air.

Boom! Pa!

Duke Meutt admired me a few more times. It seems that even the sword is specialized in its own sword. It's like a sword I've used all my life!

“Yes, so you borrowed my sword for five minutes. ”

I changed my mind completely.

This was a precious gift.

For a gift like this, the young man, Carroc, could not have been more extraordinary than he thought.

I finally changed the sword I hadn't changed in 30 years.

In fact, since I became an error master, I have not cared much about the performance of the sword. However, it was only after receiving the gift that I picked up a new sword.

“Teacher! ”

You hear someone's joyful voice from afar. There was only one chatterbox.

Rick reveals himself.

“You said you sent someone from my family. What's going on?”

“You sent me a precious gift. ”

“What? What's that sword? You look fantastic! ”

“This is my new sword. ”

“Ex? Really? ”

Rick is startled. His master has never changed his sword.

“Is it that good? ”

“It would be fortunate to hold such a prestige as a prosecutor. ”

“Ah!”

This was the first time a teacher had given such a compliment.

Duke Meutt throws his old Misrill sword at Rick, which was hanging from his waist.

“You can use that. It may be old, but it's still a misrel. You and I share the same style of swordsmanship, so you must be the right owner for that sword. ”

“Are you sure? This is precious...... ”

“I received a more precious gift from your brother. ”

Duke Meutt slammed his waist with a new sword that he had received with a satisfactory face.

Duke Meutt told Rick, who was having fun with his master's sword.

“And have your brother deliver the weapons for our army in the future. With an arsenal that skilled, I can put you in charge. ”

“Yes, Master. ”

Rick gives you an answer and looks away.

"Caroc had such a good arsenal? You little prick. Then I'll give this brother a sword as cold as his! ’

When Rick saw the opportunity, he decided to tear down a specially crafted Mythril Sword.

Until then, I was going to use the sword I inherited from my master. Since it was a special meaning to inherit the sword from the teacher, it could not be easily replaced with a new sword.

“Oh, my God! What have you done, shorty? ”

Around dinner.

Julia jumps up and down to greet me for coming home late.

“What?”

“Delivery orders are pouring into the Caroc Armory! Especially the Duke of Meutt! Oh, my God, what kind of magic did you do? ”

“I just used a simple promotional effect. ”

I told Duke Meutt about the sword because I thought it would be a study for Julia, too.

It would be fortunate for Duke Meutt to receive the sword I gave him and be able to wield this sword as a prosecutor. ’I commented.

With this news, his disciples, as well as knights from the Kingdom of Leaden and nearby countries, have come to our armory.

They didn't just buy a sword, they ordered a specially crafted one from a skilled craftsman. It was an armory approved by Duke Meutt, so it was worth trusting no matter how expensive.

It was worth mentioning that our armory where Goose is holding out was the best.

Those who ordered such special crafting were very pleased with the finished sword, and the reputation of our Caroc Armory spread quickly.

Of course, the lords everywhere have begun ordering weapons for our armory.

An army that defends its territory can't supply cheap weapons. Especially those in pressing situations like the Territory War have ordered deliveries to our territory.

Thanks to you, Julia screams happily.

It's a new staging shop, so its weaknesses are not well known for less than a year, so it's resolved.

“Shorty, I really admire you. A free gift of that expensive misrel long sword will bring you even more profit! I didn't know there was such a way. I wouldn't have done that if I were you! ”

“Big profits always require bold investments. You'd better keep that in mind. ”

“Yes! I admire you so much! ”

Isn't Julia hugging me?

Hey, hey, hey, come on! You didn't say that.

Sis stares at me, embarrassed and frozen.

“ ……. ”

Sis stood up in a staggering position, shifting Julia who hugged me and me into a distinctive expression.

And he comes up to me and puts himself in my arms.

“... I admire you. ”

Two women forced to dig into my arms.

For some reason, I felt good as a man, but I couldn't erase the feeling of awkwardness.
