Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Lesson 642: Apprenticeship

"You don't have to apologize." Um... I'm just embarrassed to come out... so I'm really glad Nil was able to wash my back. "

I don't even know what I look like right now. There is a saying that a fire is coming out of my face... but that's exactly what it is.

Nil is really pretty. Without flattery or anything like that, I can say that she is an exceptional beauty. That's what I thought when I first met Nil, when I saw Nil as a child.

Even though she was thin and dirty, she still thought so, so you know how much it is.

As you travel with me, your body has been trained and nourished, so you look even more beautiful. At first, even the shackles on my neck and limbs were beautiful enough to look like accessories.

Such a woman sheds her own back. There is no reason to be dissatisfied.

”Oh, that's right... I'm so glad...”

I know very well that Nil and I have bright red faces. It seemed like there was something wrong with the air, but before that, Nil opened his mouth.

”Um... even if you're mistress, you feel embarrassed...?”

"No. It's usually embarrassing. It's the first time I've ever had a beautiful woman like Nil... or a woman wash my back."

"Is that so...?" It's about Master, so I was wondering if there were about one or two other people there... "

"No, no, no! I really wasn't there!"

At first glance, Nil told me that he didn't have a specific opponent, but it seemed that he was considered a kind of humility.

"I told you before, didn't I? I was always alone."

"Master..."

Nil's expression seemed unbelievable.

"Well, well... that's the truth. I've never had a partner like that before, so I don't know why it's good, and it's embarrassing. That's why Nil has nothing to apologize for.”

"That's right..."

I don't know why I'm talking about this... I'm starting to get confused about myself...

"Um... ma'am."

Huh? What?

Nil's face was still red, but she slowly came up to me and spun her words in a small voice.

”Um... my swimsuit... really...”

"Oh, yeah. I thought it was cute, and I think it looked good."

Really?

"Yeah, it's true."

The swimsuit Nil wore definitely suited Nil. I can say this with confidence, so there is no problem.

"Um......"

Nil continued to dye her cheeks and remove her gaze from me as she jerked off.

"... I chose a swimsuit that didn't show much of my skin, because Suratan-sama was here. But..."

A voice that only I can hear.

The droplets falling from the tip of the glittering silver hair slipped through Nil's clavicle and sucked into her chest.

"Actually, there's another suit... you all have something I bought in secret... if Master wants it, and if it's just the two of you... I'll always..."

Gacha!

Ah?!!!

"T-Thank you so much..."

All of a sudden, I was jumping out of the dressing room with a dying face.

My heart almost stopped.

Nil's words are gurgling around in his head, but he manages to keep his reason.

"Bhu, it looks like you've survived!" Sura-Tan! "

I almost let it go upside down...

Don't ask what happened inside. Well, there were some Effes, and maybe they were just playing around Heine...

”Noooo... I'm so tired mentally...”

As I walked to the bed, Sara Tan fell flat on her face and stood still.

No south side.

When I gently put my hands together. Nil puts her face close to my ear.

"If Master wants... I'll flush your back without wearing a swimsuit..."

"Huh?!!!!!!!"

Surprised by the words whispered in her ear, Nil looked at her, but Nil was also surprised by the speed with which she covered her head with the futon of the bed next to her.

If you're embarrassed, why did you say that?! I don't feel like sleeping today?!

In the end, I was going to reveal the night in a leisurely manner, and the next morning, when I couldn't sleep well, Heine laughed. I'm angry.....

Well, no matter what you say to a woman like Heine who was married, there's no chance of winning against me and Sura Tan who are not used to women, so we have to admit to losing here quietly... mindlessly...

Con.

When we were ready in the room. The door of the room is knocked on.

Malki-chan, I wonder?

Yes! Let me show you the workshop I promised you!

Malkhi seems to be doing well today.

Gacha.

Heine opens the door immediately, and Mirch lowers his head. And beside it, Aaru, the Mother of Malki, stands and bows her head to us.

"I am very sorry that my daughter went through all sorts of things on her own this time."

"No, no! Please raise your head!"

I'm the one who listened to your story, so you don't have to apologize! ”

Tetra responds as soon as she hears Ariu's words.

“I'm afraid so.

I'd like to accompany you to the workshop, but is that okay? "

"Yes! Of course! Thank you!"

Tetra also lowered her head in a low stance.

"Thank you. I have contacted the workshop owner and informed him that I am not going to the workshop. Would you be willing to go there soon?"

Yes!

I heard that there are three other people accompanying Tetra, but is there any change?

Yeah.

I, Nil, Sura, accompany Tetra.

When we all headed, it was too much of a boulder, so we turned it down. Then I have some knowledge of blacksmithing. Nil can read the common sense of the world and the emotions of the other person. And I know a lot about the medical devices that I want to make in the end. The three of them decided to go.

That said, it's a start from nowhere, so if Tetra doesn't make an effort to clear that path herself, we can't help her even if we want to accompany her. In other words, even if we are accompanying you, our turn will be after Tetra is recognized by her master and she is allowed to join the disciple.

At first glance, it also means that I am accompanying my parents because I think it is necessary to identify them, but I am not very worried about that. Malki and Ariel are the ones who go out of their way to help us, the only guests. The two of them will introduce you, so you shouldn't be a bad person.

Of course, in a inn, you don't usually do this. I don't know what made March and the others do that, but it's impossible to introduce me to the workplace just because a customer was talking.

When March talks to us, it can't be normal enough to wonder if there is anything behind it.

However, neither Malki nor Ariu had any bad intentions, and she knew immediately when she saw it, and Nil said it was okay, so she probably just introduced herself to it, so she decided to let it go.

However, I can't say for sure that it's okay, and it's not like we're going to throw Tetra out here, so we're going to come along for now.

Accompanied by Aryu and Mirch, we left the inn and headed west.

The destination is the northern district of the city.

It's not as busy as downtown, but it's lined with workshops and artisans.

The blacksmith used fire and smoke. When it comes to a pharmacy, it is kept away from residential and central districts because of its unique odor at the time of preparation.

There are quite a few workshops, right?

"I see. There are a lot of workshops in this district, including medicines, weapons, armor, equipment, etc."

Ariel answers my questions.

What kind of workshop are you going to go to now?

"It's a workshop that mainly handles furniture." I don't deal with weapons and armor, so it's a workshop that is rarely used by adventurers, but if you want to stock up on household goods, please tell the owner of the workshop, Vanula, and he will make most of the items. ”

"Huh. You're good at this, aren't you?"

"Yes, you're quite a famous master in this Azecilze."

If you're such a famous master, maybe one or two of your disciples will be here soon?

"I see... it seems that some of them joined the disciples to learn their master's skills... but since they are tough people, they all quit immediately." In the end, I'm spinning the workshop by myself now. It seems that it is very difficult, and I want people... if I can, it would be better as a disciple. "

"Oh... you're such a tough person..."

"I can't tell if it's tough... but I can make good things without compromising." I am strict with my disciples because I do not compromise. "My husband said that."

The cook is also an artisan, so is there any way to get through?

"Surely... if I asked if a gentle mentor was a good mentor, I would say no." Especially in the craftsmanship world, it's obvious. ”

“Everyone says they're stubborn or weird, but we all recognize Vanula's master's arm.”

I turn my gaze toward Clinton and Tetra.

"You mean that you are sincere about what you make." If you let me join your disciple, there will be no such honor. "

Tetra now looks straight ahead and replies, not ready to be frightened by this kind of talk.

"That's Vanulla's master's workshop."

That said, Ariu showed a workshop with a large chimney popping up and smoke rising from it.

A sign named Vanula Workshop is hung on the door, and the building is boneless. There is absolutely no colour.

However, there is no feeling of dirtyness, and the doors, walls and windows are clean, and there is no hesitation to enter.

“Let's go.”

Aryu puts her hand on the door of the workshop and pulls in front of her, and the bell attached to the door rings chirping.

"Vanulla!" Good morning! "

It was Malki who greeted me cheerfully.

Tetra leads us into the workshop.

Workshops, as soon as you enter them! It's not made, but the shop displays a variety of things.

Metal daily necessities, starting with a small wooden shelf or chair. Even if it was a little strange, there was a simple magic tool. Just looking at it, I can see that it's a workshop that makes all kinds of things.

Vanulla, my dear! Myrrrh!

There is no Vanula's partner in the store, and Mirch is shouting at the door leading into the back.

"Oh!! I'm sorry!!"

It was a small tall man who came out of the back in a panic, making a rattling noise. The Dwarfs.

He has three long, bumpy red hairs, wrapped in black fabric around his head and tied around the back of his head. The red beard is also long with a mojamoja, and I make three braids and put them together.

She is wearing a thick dark blue front hanging over a white short-sleeved shirt with black stains all over.

This is a fantasy dwarf with a fat arm that doesn't suit a small back! She has a body shape called.

Oops!

As I remembered, Vanula's husband removed the front cover and came out towards the store.

"I'm sorry! I can't get my hands off you!" Ha ha ha! "

He laughed loudly and narrowed his red eyes.

It's always that!

"Don't be so angry! Ha ha ha!"

"Malki, don't you remember growing up with a kid who says that to his master?"

"Ugh..."

"Hahaha! It's okay, Mr. Allieu! Even though I promised, it's my fault I was working on it!"

"I'm sorry. This girl..."

Apparently, Master Vanulla and Mr. Allu have a long relationship and feel familiar with the conversation.

"That's enough, isn't it! We're not here to talk today!"

"That's right. So?"

Master Vanulla sees us.

I was talking about it, and it must have been told that I wanted to be a disciple. In other words, you are asking which person wants to join the disciple.

“My name is Tetra.”

Tetra, who had sucked up his intentions, stepped forward and stood in front of Vanulla's master.

"... I heard you were a woman, but you're so thin." I feel like I've never done this kind of work before. "

Yes.

…………………

………………

Master Vanulla looks Tetra in the eye and pushes silently. Tetra also silences Vanulla by looking into her master's eyes.

"... I see. Even women seem to have more liver problems than those who have been here before."

Yes!

"First of all, this job is not easy." It's a hard task for a woman's body. "

Yes!

"... I see. Are you ready?"

When I heard that she was a novice, I thought I'd thrust it properly, but... come on. "

Yes!

Are those three accompanying you?

Yeah.

"Then you can come with me."

Is that okay?

Yeah.

Being sent through the workshop doesn't usually mean much. It's an important... sanctuary for the craftsman, so it's not a fun place to put in half. Perhaps Master Vanulla distracted me, including by introducing Ariu and the others.

There is also an accommodation for Ariu and Mirch, and it would be annoying to bring them around any more, so I thanked them and broke up on the spot.

As you enter the workshop after Vanula's master, it is wider than it looks from the outside, with furnaces and work benches, all neatly organized. Besides, I can see that every tool is well maintained.

Just by looking at it, I can see that this Vanula master is a sincere craftsman with solid arms. I felt that it was a well-managed workshop reminiscent of Sena, who was swordsmithing on Ouka Island.

"This is my workshop."

Yes.

"... take this."

That's why Master Vanulla handed Tetra a golden hammer.

It was about two turns bigger than a hammer that hit a nail, and it looked quite heavy.

"AH?!!"

Tetra receives a hammer from Vanula's master and is surprised at its weight.

What do you think? Is it heavy?

Master Vanulla, who had a hammer, asks Tetra.

Of course, it would be heavy. It was the first time for Tetra.

I feel that this answer is a subtle question to answer honestly. If you honestly say it's heavy, if you can't have this kind of thing, then you can't be a blacksmith! I feel like it's going to happen...

"Yes, yes."

But Tetra answered honestly.

"... I see.

Maybe a beginner would be better off than a bad experience. ”

"What do you mean...?"

Hearing what Vanulla's master said, Surakitan asks a question.

"The people who came here before wanting to join some disciples replied that when they held this golden hammer, it was not heavy.

They were all experienced and seemed to have quite the pride, so I don't know if I want to say that, but this golden hammer is special. It's about twice as heavy as an ordinary golden hammer made of iron. Even if I shake this every day, I feel heavy. It can't be heavy. "

Tetra's hammer is heavy, even if it's made of iron. Double that… even a grown man would be heavy.

"It may be my egotistical words, but the craftsman must be honest only with regard to tools and products."

He who makes a good look, and answers that it is not heavy, does not become a loser just because he looks good. That's why I listen to it every time.

No, I told you it was heavy, so I'm not talking about it. As you work, your thoughts will change, and you will not refuse to be a disciple. But... it's true that they all quit immediately. "

It was one of the criteria for judging Vanula's master.

It seems that Tetra, who answered honestly, was right.

"In that regard, it might be better than the others." The fact that you are a beginner and a woman may have made you honest, but you will still absorb it more honestly than a poor experience, so it may be better to become a disciple.

That said, I think it's more likely that a beginner will want to quit soon because of the hard work they're doing. ”

As Master Vanulla says, it's definitely a tough job. On top of that, it will be harder for beginners to work under a hard master who has quit even the experienced.

"I have something I definitely want to accomplish."

While talking like that, Tetra opens her mouth.

It was a short word that came out of Tetra's mouth.

I didn't say anything specific, and if I did it from Vanulla, who doesn't even know Tetra's life so far, I don't know what she's talking about.

……………

But Master Vanulla looks into Tetra's eyes and, after a moment of silence, opens her mouth.

"Now that you're staying in an inn, you don't have a place to live, do you?" Then there is an empty room on the third floor here. Use it. ”

That's what Master Vanulla says, if you feel something about Tetra.

"Yes! Thank you!!"

Tetra bows her head thoughtfully.

Apparently, I have decided to become an apprentice to Master Vanulla.

"Bring your luggage in today." It's early tomorrow morning. "

Yes!

It was the moment when Tetra set the start of her dreams.
