CH 146

“Can I ask something?”

“Sure of course. By the way Maria, you’re really small aren’t you?”

“Are you trying to start a fight!? Anyway, why are we dancing?”

Because I’m so excited, the item that I thought was a long shot we ended up getting the recipe for in a single day’s dungeon run. We don’t have any other choice but to dance, do we?

“A-H! You’ve gone crazy!”

Well, that’s okay. I held Maria’s waist a little tighter as I continued to spin so that her feet were no longer touching the floor.

“Stop. I know how happy you are but put me down!”

Maria knocked me upside the head when she said this. Well, it had been nearly ten minutes since I started this, should I congratulate her for lasting this long?

Maria’s legs shooks slightly as I slowly lowered her back to the ground.

“I didn’t expect for you to act like that.”

Maria seemed to be a little out of breath.

“After you rest, let’s do it one more time?”

“No way! What makes you think I’m happy about what just happened!?”

So, we aren’t going to do it again? That sucks, it was actually kind of fun.

“So what even is this? I’m of course assuming you know because of how happy you are.”

Of course I know what it is and since I also need to find someone who can actually make it I decided to explain to Maria.

“That sounds amazing!”

Maria said as she was looking down at the recipe.

“So anyway, I was looking for a good [Craftsman] to make it.”

“Fufufu. In that case I know of a good one.”

“Really!? As expected of you Maria!”

Maria’s guild is a good guild but they mostly specialize in armor. Things like weapons and other equipment would have to come from somewhere else. The [craftsman] job was a little less popular than either the armor or weapon production jobs as they make accessories. However, when looking at weapons and armor there are often times where you cannot equip something. Even if you get it in a drop there is a chance that you won’t even be able to use that item. Players often have to go to one of the production workers to custom order the type of weapon that they want, making it more expensive and more popular. The reason the accessory production jobs are so unpopular is because accessories can be equipped by anyone and rarely is there a need for someone to special order anything from them.

Because of this I was worried that I might not be able to find a capable craftsman to make this item for me but luckily Maria is quite capable. So it seems that I won’t have to look very hard after all. I want to get introduced to them as soon as possible.

“Wait a minute, let me check.”

Maria pulled out her student notebook and sent a message to the craftsman. Surprisingly it didn’t take very long for her to get a reply back.

“They said that they’re close by so they would just head over here.”

As expected when the recipe was mentioned they would be excited too.

“Is Maria here?”

“They’re already here!?”

Has it even been 30 seconds since she received the reply? And they seemed to be walking through the guild straight to the room we were in. What is going on?

“Oh, its the quiet guy!”

“….The [Hero] huh?”

The person who came was the same quiet guy that I bought the necklace from. He still didn’t speak very much but I thought he was a [metal engraver] back then not a [craftsman].

“You know each other?”

“I did a quest…. No I bought something from his store before and delivered some materials there.”

“Oh well if you know each other then this will be quicker than I thought. This is the [craftsman] that I would recommend. His name is Gant, he doesn’t talk much but he’s really skilled.”

Oh, so his name was Gant.

“Oh right I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m the [Hero] Zephyrus, I wanted to make this item so I asked Maria to introduce me to you.”

“Yeah…. Let me see it.”

When I introduced myself Gant just nodded and never looked away from the recipe.

“Okay.. What do you think, can you make it? We have all the materials here.”

Gant just stared at the recipe for a while with no expression on his face and not saying anything. But after a while he suddenly grinned.

“Of course.”

It looks like it’s about time for Ester to get a powerup.
