Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

The request from Sidorba... is to go to the mine while protecting him from the monsters, so that Sidorba can mine the ore he needs and come back.

In other words, it is a request for escort.

"I wish I could go there by myself, but I'm in a tough place by myself." Will you please do me a favor? "

"It's so easy to use." I'll take care of it. ”

That's a good one!

The objective is to extract the two ores, Softyite and Mystique, and bring them back safely.

Incidentally, there was a fragment of an ore called Mystillite, so I used appraisal magic to appraise that fragment of Mystillite...

[Mystique]... Ore that is supposed to be used only by Dwarves. The usage method is unknown.]

A sentence appeared.

This is the same appraisal result as Softieit, and I'm not sure.

If you ask Sidorba how to use it, the information will be updated, but that's a good thing even after completing this request.

So we decided to concentrate on the request from Sidorba first.

I know I have to hurry a lot, but I've received a lot of favors. Besides, we're in a situation where we need to gather information, so there won't be much change in the situation in a hurry. If that's the case, I don't think Sidorba's request is going to be a hit with the bumblebee.

Sidorba was already ready, but it was too dangerous to suddenly head for the mine.

I want to know what kind of monsters will appear, how long it will take, and what kind of things will be needed.

There is an inventory, so I think there are fewer things missing, but the Dwarf's living environment is extremely special. Surrounded by mountains, there are quite a lot of high ranking monsters.

Although it is a mine, it has a different taste and flavor than other mines. We can't afford to be unprepared.

For that reason, we spent the day preparing and decided to leave the next day after receiving the necessary information from Sidorba.

After all, I had everything I needed in my inventory, but if I had it, I wouldn't be sad. It's called a cane that doesn't fall.

Early in the morning of the next day.

"Whoa, whoa... be careful, okay?"

"I'm not young anymore, so don't be nosy."

When she left the workshop to head to the mine, Shurna and Zinavirna came out to speak up, worried about Sidorba.

"Don't worry, we've got the best adventurers with us!"

Sidorba replied brightly whether it was to reassure the two of them.

Isn't that right?

And Sidruba asks us for an answer.

"I won't let you scratch Sidorba."

“No matter what comes, we will protect Sidorva.”

"Please take care of my husband."

When we said that with confidence, Zinavirna bowed her head deeply, and Shurna silently bowed her head.

To hear Sidorba's story, the monsters that appeared nearby were of a high rank, and it seemed that they could not go without a rope.

Usually, it seems that mining and mining in dangerous places is entrusted to a dwarf who specializes in such things and buys them, but this time, in addition to making urgent requests, the delivery time is also short, and the materials have been put into use quickly.

It seems that there was also the option to send a request to a dwarf who specializes in mining to mine it. However, if mining in a dangerous zone is a sudden request, it will take a considerable amount of money, and there will be a lack of high-quality materials and necessary items. To avoid that, Sidorba decided to ask us to go mining on our own.

We get in the carriage and head for the south gate.

In that carriage, I decided to ask Sidorba.

"Anyway... why did you ask us to do it?"

You don't really know what kind of adventurer we are, do you? "

"I heard you came through the Abamus Dungeon." Just by being able to get out of that dungeon, you can judge that you have enough strength. "

"Abamus Dungeon... that's what I was told."

"Well, even if I didn't know that story, I would have asked you guys to do it."

"Why?"

"Hey, I'm a dwarf craftsman, right?" If you look at the weapons, armor, and items you have, you'll see that you're a foolish adventurer. ”

Sidorba snorts out as if it were only natural.

I'm telling you, Sidorba didn't want us to show our weapons and armor seriously, and we didn't show them.

In other words, just by looking at the weapons and armor we are wearing at a distance, we have grasped our general strengths.

Sidorba's earliest appraisal magic ability...?

"Besides, I built the prosthesis."



I don't know how Sidorba's words relate to what we've been talking about so far, so I lean my neck.

"The fact that it's light and easy to swing around means that when you swing it, it's also weak. Normally, they want some weight in their weapons. Although it is better to be light because it is a prosthetic arm, it is too special.

Certainly a new prosthetic hand, but if you make the same thing, there are quite a few who can handle it well.

Light and weightless gear is a sign of confidence that you will or will not catch an attack. Such a guy can't be weak. "

"I-I see..."

Effe's prosthesis has several functions. In other words, it is a complex and delicate piece of equipment.

If it is a machine with a precise structure, the durability will naturally fall. Only skilled people like to use fragile equipment. If you think about it that way, you'll be relieved that Sidorba came to this conclusion.

"So you asked us to do it?"

"Well, we'll spend a couple of days together." It's true that I'm with those who like it! "

We go from here to the mine, we mine, we come back. It seems that it is better to watch for four days if you proceed carefully because it is said that everything is going smoothly for about three days to go through that many steps.

I was in a hurry about the demons, but it was all about life. I believe that we should concentrate on the things in front of us first, and that is at least four days.

"Was it a Sholny mine?"

"Yes, a mine in the southwest of the city." It's hard to get there. Thank you very much. "

"Oh, I'll take care of it."

Sholny Mine is about a half day away by horse-drawn carriage.

This was a time to consider encounters with monsters.

It's natural to feel surprisingly close. Although it is large, this is a space surrounded by mountains, so there is no need to travel further distances.

Is that Sholny mine on the skin of the Abamus Mountains?

"No. You may see it nearby, but it takes two days in a horse-drawn carriage to reach that mountain skin."

"By the way, after you left the dungeon, you moved for three days." So, more than that, is there a mine in front of you? "

“There are a few small mountains in this area surrounded by the Abamas Mountains, apart from the Abamas Mountains.”

"There are more mountains surrounded by mountains... it feels weird."

"The mountains are much younger than the Abamas Mountains." On the other hand, because it's a young mountain, you can also harvest a lot of resources. "

Young means that it erupted into an eruption?

"That's right. I haven't seen it since I was born, but it used to erupt a lot." That said, it seems that there was no damage from just a small eruption. "

"It's quite a dangerous place, isn't it?" Isn't there a lot of earthquakes that were erupting? "

"There must be a lot of them." That's why the buildings in the city of The Gumbel are more robust than they need to be. Well, in the case of an earthquake, it seems that it needs to be sturdy but flexible. "

You know me and Surakutan very well around here, don't you?

Because I lived in Japan, I am used to earthquakes. I was not surprised to find it slightly shaken. The dwarves had the same feeling.

Somehow, a sense of closeness grew.

If you're frightened by earthquakes, mining is a dream again!

Well, we're going to the most dangerous place to mine.

That's what I'm talking about!

Sidorba laughs lavishly when she says that.

"I've been thinking about this for a long time... the Dwarfs are somewhere like the Giants, right?"

In terms of size, there are two races that are not similar, but whether they are character or temperament... I feel that the atmosphere is very similar between the Giants and the Dwarves.

You know the Giants?

"I had a chance to see you before." I think we've made a pretty good relationship. "

"I bet you guys are."

You know something, don't you?

It sounds like you're talking to a friend.

"That's right. The Giants and we Dwarves have been close for a long time."

Huh?! Did you?!

"Oh no. After all, we Dwarfs and Giants were of the same ancestry..."

I wonder if the Dwarfs and the Giants are branching off from the same species?

"It's a legend." I don't know what the truth is. "

"What kind of legend is it?"

Pilte is interested, and she's complaining with her eyes that she wants to talk to Sidorba.

"A long time ago, a long time ago, there were no dwarfs and giants." There was a tribe called the Gardens. "

The Gardens…? That's a name you've never heard of, right?

"It's a race that's already perished."

It seems that the Gardens were strong and specializing in blacksmithing. "

You're just a dwarf.

“No. My body was the size of a human, and I didn't have that much skill in blacksmithing.”

It was a long time ago, and I don't think I had the technical ability to believe it at that time. I can't believe you're talking about an ape making a car.

"I was such a Gardan, but I wasn't good at fighting, and I ran around trying not to get involved in a fight with other races."

……………

Everyone listens to Sidorba in silence.

The Giants are very interesting stories for me and Nil, who have even been told to be allies.

"However, one day, a person appeared who contested the way of life that escaped."

Let's fight. We're strong. I'm sure other races won't fall behind. ”

"It's hard to live under oppression..."

Nil muttered, but he felt a tremendous weight in his words.

Slavery is a matter of course because slaves are the ultimate form of those who are oppressed and live.

"That's right. No one wants to survive the oppression."

But there were some who did not want to fight.

And that's where the Gardens were divided.

The Gardens, who were armed to fight, and the Gardens, who avoided fighting and tried to immerse themselves in blacksmithing. "

I can see the story.

"After that, over the years, the Giants evolved their bodies to overwhelm the opponents of the war. On the contrary, it was the Dwarfs who evolved so small that even delicate details could be created.”

The Dwarfs are shorter than other races. However, they want to say that the tiny body is evolution, not degeneration.

We didn't think it was degeneration, but Sidorba dared to emphasize that there is pride there.

"It's quite an interesting story. If that's the truth…

Over the years, some races have remained the same as before, and on the contrary, some races have become something different in size. ”

Heine said that the race that hasn't changed anything is our own vampire race.

Strictly speaking, I think there is a change in the mental part, but there is no physical change. In the first place, because it is an extremely long-lived race, even those who live the time necessary for the Gardens to evolve into Giants and Dwarves are likely to exist.

The Gardens have survived for several generations, while the Vampires have survived for two or three generations. Extreme evolution will not happen. Rather, if an extreme physical change has occurred in two or three generations, it is a mutation, not an evolution.

Especially for vampires whose race is growing in blood, a caste-based physical change is hard to achieve.

That means there are different races, not good or bad.

"I've never heard such a story before."

"It's an old story told by the Dwarfs." Usually only the Dwarfs have heard of it. "

Is there a similar ancient story among the Giants?

I don't know because I've never heard of the Dwarfs from the Giants, but because Sidorba says this, the Giants must know.

"But honestly, I don't care if my ancestors are the same."

"It doesn't matter..."

"The Giants are very nice people." Besides, they don't break their word, they're proud. That's all you need to know, isn't it? "

No matter what the ancestors were like or what evolution was like, what emotions did the people who actually met the Giants have towards the Giants?

Even if the ancestors were the same, if the dwarves who met the giants did not like the giants, they could not continue their relationship.

The fact that we have been dating from the past to the present is probably because we recognize that it is a species that seems to be preferable to each other.

"I think there are similarities between the Giants and the Dwarves, so I know that for sure."

"Oh! Well, I don't think they can build weapons that can withstand the power of the Giants."

"Was the dwarf making that siege?!"

A gold and silver battle hammer held by the brothers of Anti and Kanti. I was wondering how and by whom the big, heavy warheads, which were nearly five meters long, had been created... but apparently it was made by a dwarf.

"I didn't make it, but sometimes they ask me to make it in the middle." I heard you can make one if you work three days and three nights without going to sleep. "

Even if I smashed the ground and broke it, I didn't think I'd be able to make it with the level of craftsmanship... but the world might be a small place.

"You're making something outrageous..."

Me and Nil were the only ones to meet the Giants, and I didn't see them. I've talked about the Giants before.

However, that force and the decadence of the scale would not be impossible to pass on in words.

Perhaps Sidorba felt one end of it, and Surakutan let out a voice of admiration.

Heine, Pilte, and Efe felt the same way.

However, only Nil and I had the feeling that we were convinced somewhere.

Luxurious and boozy. Maybe differently, but in essence, I thought the Dwarfs and the Giants were very much alike. That's why now that I've heard the stories of the Dwarves and the Giants, I feel more convinced than surprised.

"Master."

When we heard from Sidorba, Nil, who was helping us, called out to us on the loading platform.

"It's been a while since I've been away from the city. It's time to enter a dangerous area."

I had already talked, but when I noticed, I was already passing the south gate, and I could see the trees around me.

"That's right. There are a lot of high ranked monsters around here, so let's keep our heads up."

Sidorba, please don't leave the loading platform. We'll protect the carriage. "

"I'm not getting off the loading platform in a place like this." I'm not an amateur either. "

Sidorba is a craftsman, not a fighter. However, this is the world. It doesn't mean you can't fight at all.

At first, I heard that he had brought a small warlord and that he could protect himself. Of course, that is why we have no intention of involving Sidorba in the battle. Just think of the worst.

When I move to my seat and sit side by side with Nil, the Effe moves right behind me.

"I want to try and kill this guy." Give up the first battle. ”

Lift a prosthetic arm attached to your arm.

"All right. Nil needs a carriage."

Heine and Slatan will be on the loading platform, and Pilte will have Ef and me backed up. ”

Everyone nods when I give them instructions.

The fact that Effe said he wanted to try it out does not mean that he is happy with the prosthesis he received.

As Sidorba said, Effe's arm is nothing but a special weapon. I want to know how to use it and how best to use it. I want to make adjustments to such fine points at an early stage because I have room for my strength.

Just because you have a good weapon doesn't mean you can master it. The Effes knew that, so they suggested that you count them as a force as soon as possible.

Even now, the Effes could be considered as a sufficient strength, but if the Effester was in his own tune, it would be considered as a sufficient strength. There is no reason to refuse it.
