"Ha, you were..."

Antogal was convinced when he heard about the situation from Aotearoa. Rice grew more from the millennia before Aotearoa and Dina were active, and the fields were gradually spreading. Especially back in Dwarf country, where they were eaten on a daily basis.

"I didn't think anything of this because it was normal for me, but maybe it would surprise me if I did see it from an old man"

"Yeah, but I'm glad it's going to be easy. I'll buy a lot later."

Aotea didn't just say that was a decision, she had strong thoughts.

"Don't feel comfortable getting into work with this. Now it's time to finish it."

Rice is driving Ethereal Motivation more than ever.

"Oops, I could refine something nice, and now I'm going to pick a metal to combine with, so this time I should be able to!

Antogal was also motivated to be pulled by Ethereum.

"I'm sorry, but I need you to clean up after me."

"Okay, good luck with the work"

Aotearoa left it to Deena to clean up after the meal and when she stood up, she headed to work.

Each takes the same position as yesterday and begins to prepare.

"Today's metal, but given the high purity of dragon iron, you can't do it unless it's what it deserves."

"Right, yesterday's metal was pretty good too. Still, that's the result..."

Antogal wrinkles between his eyebrows remembering yesterday's speckled sword.

"There it is, today's metal, but I was wondering if I could use this."

Aotearoa took out one metal mass. That was something that wasn't in the metal we put out yesterday.

"Is this...?

It was something that Antogal neither remembered.

"I'm not sure either, it's something I found in the back of a cave that I wasn't sure about, even with my appraisal skills. However, the hardness and magic meltness are quite high. It's just rare because I've never seen anything but it's here now. I got reluctant to stick out."

This metal was a substitute that was mysterious, unknown to Laugo, and not in the memory of an elder with a wide range of knowledge.

When Ethereal Tails found it in the cave, this metal was golemed and could be obtained by defeating it. But that wasn't easy. Its hardness prevented even a single blow of the Dragon Slash Sword, and if you use the then and the magic, it was absorbed as well, and the braves managed to defeat it by using everything they could each have.

Whether the demon mutated or the metal demonized, it was in the end unclear, but it was also a highly colorful presence in the cave.

"I'm sure it's powerful, because Laugo was having trouble handling it, too. I couldn't have done it without a dedicated tool to process this. Anyway, this should hold just the strength to beat the dragon iron."

"Even your ancestors...... let me use it! I'm sure you'll need that metal to create this. Create something you've never done before."

Antogal intuitively felt that this was necessary for what we create. Of course there was a feeling that I could not deal with Laugo there, but there was something more attractive than that.

"Okay, I'm not disagreeing because I was going to use this too. However, the tool is going to get you to use this"

Aotearoa takes out the special hammer she mentioned earlier. The body was made of orihalcon, and earlier mysterious metal was used at the tip of the head.

"This seems like a good idea... but you've done a lot of machining like this. Brilliant."

He was exclaiming at the machining technique as he took it in his hand.

"Quite a force move, it took quite a while just to create it... well, should we get to work quickly as another opportunity for hard work? This time, I'll follow you when you're not feeling better than yesterday. In any case, both metals are difficult to work with, but we've hardly ever dealt with one of them."

Antogal nods with a strange face at Aotearoa's words.

"But we have to do it. All right, let's get to work!

Antogal's proclamation signaled that the two of them had to work on a knife.

The sound heard from the workshop was even more feverish than yesterday, and unknowingly stimulated the craftsmen in the neighborhood's workshop. In this area of the workshop, the items made on this day were of good house quality, but nothing knew why.

The other day it was possible before the sun went down, but today it was a situation where even the sun went down and it wasn't even in the work of magic. But neither of us thinks anything about it, and we go about our work in uninterrupted fashion without losing focus. Because I was wondering how difficult it was this time on the first dozen.

"Ahhh!

Deena comes to the workplace worried about the two of them not coming out even at mealtime, but she gives a voice to the unexpected enthusiasm that has struck her. The workplace was hotter than usual and the room temperature was higher. The two continue to work as they get sweaty, but they didn't even wipe it because of their concentration.

I also thought about using spiritual magic to lower the room temperature, but thought that should not be an obstacle to concentration, and Deena gently returns to the living room without speaking up.

Work continued for some time after Deena returned, but the hand stops at a delimitation.

"Ha ha, that's about half of it!

Antogal checks with Ethereum aloud.

"You know what, ha-ha-ha, why don't you put in a break once?

It seems to be quite a lot of work for Aotearoa, who is working out, and the color of fatigue was darkening.

"Damn, that would help. It's time for me to limit myself."

When they admitted to each other a break, they entered the scene.

Aotearoa takes out two nutritional drinks and passes one to Antogal. Antogal is about to drop it, but he manages to grab it and drink it up all at once. Aotearoa similarly drinks it up, making each body easier.

"This drink of yours is amazing. I just drank it and it looks like I'm exhausted."

"Oh, there's so much in it... you better not ask what's in it"

Aotearoa remembered the recipe, but its expression was complicated.

"Oh, hey, what is it? It bothers you."

"No, never mind"

"Say yes!!

It didn't take a minute until Deena called to hear Antogal's ambition.
