Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Quest from the blacksmith completed

Translated by kuronochan

I picked up the axe Lalana left.

It’s an axe with a diameter of 140cm but in my case, I can hold it with one hand.

I casually swung it.

It’s probably the material’s characteristic. The block cracked with the edge of the axe and broke into two.

However, without Axe Techniques, it feels like I『only swung down what I hold』.

I cannot use it as dexterous as Lalana.

“Laura.”

“U-Un.”

I gave Laura eye contact, and she opened the catalog window for me.

I learned the Axe Techniques that can be taken using 5 Believer Points.

In that instant, I『understood』the axe.

The center of its gravity and the way to hold it. Things like how strength would be passed on to it, I understood it instinctively.

I raised the axe and swung it down.

Sukaaaーn.

A clear sound echoed.

“This isn’t bad.”

“I know right?”

Laura sticks out her huge breasts proudly.

This time, I also patted her head honestly.

“Ehee??????”

“W-W-What in the world did you do?!! Kehma-san?!!”

“Well, it’s just some kind of a special skill.”

I placed my hand on Femil’s head.

I strongly invoked inside.

(Skill Transfer!)

Buuoooonー, I felt like my power transferred to Femil.

“With this, try chopping the firewood just a bit.”

“Ye......! Yes......”

Femil’s cute bunny ears are drooping.

It is very clear that she’s afraid, frightened, and scared.

“Can you do it although it might be hard. It’s just a test.”

“Yes......!!”

Femil grabbed the axe.

“nn......!!”

Like that, she mustered her strength.

She quickly raised the axe.

Howeverーー.

“Auuu! Auu?????????!!”

She staggered back.

I quickly embraced her from behind.

“Are you okay?”

“I’m sorry......pyon”

“No, it’s fine, it’s just a test.”

“Auuu......”

“Well then, this time, can you use this small axe?”

“Yes......”

I passed her an axe that even a child can hold with one hand.

“Ah!......are?”

Femil made a confused voice as she moved the axe back and forth.

“What happened?”

“I cannot say it properly, but......”

“Un.”

“I feel like, I can use the axe......”

“I used it after all. That kind of power.”

“Yes......?!!”

“It’s impossible for those complicated ones, but I can do it on easy things.”

“Amazing......!!”

Femil stared at me with a sparkling gaze of respect.

“If you think so, then try chopping the firewood.”

“Yes!!!”

Femil started chopping firewood.

Sukkaan!! Sukkaan! Sukkaan!

The blocks that were like obsidian were gradually chopped with simple swings.

Howeverーー.

“Auu......”

Femil used up her strength when there was only half remaining.

She herself tried to do her best, but her body staggered and almost collapsed.

I supported her with an embrace.

The skin on her palm got torn, and blood was coming out.

“Heal.”

The wound on her hand closed.

“Can you stand?”

“It’s difficult......pyon”

Although her wound closed with the heal, her stamina did not recover huh.

“You can rest.”

“I’m sorry......”

“It’s fine though, I understood pretty much after all.”

“It means, I was of help......?”

“Un.”

“I’m happy...... ehehe......”

Femil smiled sweetly.

She is honest, diligent, and lovely.

(By the way, Kehma. What was it that you understood?)

Laura asked with a small voice.

(I understood that even having a high-level skill, one can’t use it properly without basic stamina and strength.)

(I see......)

(The reason why you would easily have an upset stomach or get drunk is probably because of that too.

You’re too weak in the first place, so it’s still weak even with the help of level 1 resistance.)

(Fuee......)

The useless goddess Laura received a shock.

Well then.

I understood what I want to find out.

“Excuse me?! The work, it’s finished?!”

“Isn’t that too fast?!”

“But still, it’s pretty much finished!!”

“What?!!”

Lalana came flying.

She shouted as she saw the remaining four and a half blocks.

“It isn’t over at all?!!

Picking a fight with me? That’s a declaration of war against the Golden Prairie you know?!!”

“That’s why I’m saying; I’ll finish it now.”

I placed my hand on the sword around my waist.

I drew it and Zuzazazaza.

I flashed silver slashes and cut the black block in front of me into pieces.

“Y-You......you’re quite good.”

Lalana held her axe and pointed it to me.

“But, that much, I can alsoーー”

Lalana was about to say something, but I sheathed my sword.

Pachiri

The instant that sound echoed.

The four black boulders got sliced into pieces.

“Whaaーーーーーーーーーーーーーー!!?!?!?!!?!?”

“Is there any problem?”

Lalana picked up the firewood that was sliced into pieces and stared at it.

“There’s no problem, I mean, it’s like......it’s a problem that there’s no problem............”

Even so, it looks like she was convinced.

Lalana placed a finger on her lips and whistled.

Three small guys came out.

“You called?!”

“You calledー?!

“Masterー! You calledー?!”

It’s the small guys selling the fried round bread.

It is unknown whether they are just of the same race or actually the same person, but the three of them looks exactly the same.

“The firewood’s ready. There’s a lot of it, but bring it to the workshop.”

“There’s a lot?!”

“We were having tea?!”

“The snack time, it got interrupted?!”

” ” ” The world, it abandoned us?............” ” ”

The three Nojyas fell to the ground in fours.

Looking at them closely, there’s cream around their mouth.

“If you were having your snacks, you can start after finishing it......”

“An angel?!

“A God?!!”

“There is no doubt that Master is the God that created the world?!!”

The three Nojyas displayed vocabulary similar to that of Laura’s and returned to the shop.

“Geez...... those servants.”

But although she was saying that, Lalana did not seem like she did not feel bad about it.

“By the way, can I ask something?”

“What?”

“Is there a monster that uses Flame Magic around here?”

“If it is nearby, it will be the Magma Slime in the Babarel Volcano across the Green Forest......”

“If it’s about its level, I think you don’t need to worry?”

That’s the reason why I showed my strength too.

“Well, just tell me whether there’s a monster that uses Instant Death there.”

“I have not heard that such monster exists in the Babarel Volcano......”

“Is that so.”

“If you plan on going to the volcano, can you pick up some ores?”

“I don’t plan on going too deeply though.”

“Well then, let’s make it that it’s only ores that can be taken in the first layer.”

“Thank you very much.”

“I’ll make it as a Designated Quest in the Guild. What’s your name?”

“It’s Kehma. Kosakai Kehma.”

“I’ll remember that.”
