Chapter 39-: There is no material

(TL By GUST)

When I listen to the story ...

It seems that the shop owner makes armour for customers who don't care, using ore that can be collected in large quantities at low cost.

According to the owner, it's Namakura.

Nevertheless, by combining multiple ores, it is possible to maintain a certain level of quality.

Perhaps because of that, it seems that there are many adventurers who are deceived.

For those who have overcome the challenges of the shop owner, the shop owner will make the armour with all his heart.

The material is not cheap ore, but Mithril, which can only be collected in small quantities a month, is used.

Armour made seriously, not play.

In addition, the material is Mithril, a rare ore.

The armour seems to be wonderful enough to be used for a lifetime.

However, I came here and had a problem.

It seems that the supply of Mithril has stopped.

The shopkeeper had an exclusive contract with a particular adventurer and used the Mithril they mined.

However, recently, the supply of Mithril seems to be stagnant.

The cause is that the adventurers have failed to mine.

Even when I went to the mine, it seems that Mithril is not found in any fragments, and it seems that it is in a state where it can not be mined.

Did you dig up?

Or is there another cause?

I don't know the truth, but Mithril never reaches the shop owner, and I can't make armour...

"Thanks, I haven't made a decent armour these days ... My arms will rust if I keep doing this."

"Nya, that's hard."

"Can't you import from others? I would."

"Of course, I thought about that too. However, Mithril is a precious ore with a small amount. There is not enough quantity to export to other places."

"Did the shopkeeper hold the right to mine such ore?" Sora asks. "

"There is a mountain in the heritage left by my parents. If you look closely, it was a place where you can mine Mithril ore."

"I see, I'm lucky. I'm delighted to find a treasure trove."

"But if you find a Mithril mine, why not sell it and live your life?"

"How much is Mithril?"

"Carbonized?"

"Unit price, unit price. How much is around 1 kg?"

"Sure ... wasn't it about 10 gold coins?"

Rely on vague knowledge to speak.

Then, the shop owner will supplement it.

"The latest rate is 9 cards. It varies depending on the market, but it varies."

"Oh, Nyaru!"

"If you sell the whole mountain, maybe about 1000 gold coins? As Sora says, you can play and live."

"Hmm. I don't want to imitate such a boring thing. I'm an armour craftsman. I'll keep a hammer for the rest of my life."

"Nya, the craftsmanship!"

"That's nice! I can sympathize with you."

"It's nothing to praise, ladies"

The shopkeeper laughs ...

Then it becomes a bitter face.

"If you're like you, it's worth it for me to wield my arms ... I'm sorry. I can't do anything without the materials. I'm not an alchemist."

"I don't apologize. That's why I can't help it."

"It would be helpful if you said that."

"However……"

Don't worry about the story that Mithril suddenly became unminable.

Normally, when the ore is depleted, the amount of mining will gradually decrease.

The amount decreases to the right ...

Eventually, it will be zero.

That's the normal pattern.

However, it is strange that it suddenly becomes impossible to mine.

Don't worry ...

"Rain, Rain"

Kanade looked at my face.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh no. I don't care."

I told everyone the question in me.

"Nya. I'm not sure, but it would be strange if Rain said so."

"Kanade should acquire the ability to think a little more."

"Spicy words !?"

"My sister, don't overdo it, because the cat spirits have empty heads."

"Terrible !?"

"It's a joke. It's a joke to soften the place ... Fufufu."

I felt like I could see the wings and tail of a small devil on Luna's back.

"Anyway ... what do you want Rain to do?"

"I feel like investigating. But it's not a problem that I can decide on my own ... and if there is nothing, I'll just take everyone around meaninglessly. That's why it's painful ... Forest of Lost. Even at that time, I decided on my own ... "

"It's not good, even if you do it yourself"

Tania says lightly.

"Huh?"

"I don't care so much. And ... we're friends? I don't want you to be weird. It might be a bit exaggerated, but if you're a friend, you're a lotus student, right?"

"Oh, Tania said good things!"

"It will rain tomorrow."

"Maybe a storm"

"Hey, you ..."

"... That's right. That's exactly what Tania says."

We are friends.

It may be strange to refrain from doing so.

"Why are you guys? What happened when you talked to me?"

"I'm talking about mines ... why don't we leave the investigation to us?"

"What?"

"There are things I'm curious about. It's not that the ore is naturally depleted, but I feel that there is something behind it. So why don't you ask us to investigate?"

"HM"

The shopkeeper puts his hand on his chin as he thinks.

Thinking in the same position, for a while ...

After a while, the shopkeeper opened his mouth.

"This may also be something to do. Alright, let's ask you guys."

"Thank you"

"I'm grateful to you. It's really helpful to undertake a mine survey that you don't know what's going on."

"Our master is really nice, isn't he?"

"That's the good thing about Rain ♪"

"Then, can you send us a request to the guild to nominate us?"

There is a system called nomination request.

It is used when you want a specific adventurer to make a request.

Occasionally there are clients who say that adventurers who have never met are unreliable.

Such clients can specify a particular adventurer.

By doing so, it is a system that allows you to entrust the request to something you can trust.

By the way, I used this system when I was Arios.

Arios was reluctant to say, "It's public that the hero relied on the adventurer ...", but the adventurer can't accept the request without permission.

It's a rule, so I asked them to follow it.

"Um. I understand. And what's your name?"

"Oh ... by the way, I didn't introduce myself. I'm sorry. I'm Rain Shroud."

"It's Rain ... Um, I remember. I'm Gantz Stroff."

"Thank you, Gantz"

Shake hands.

"So, talking about rewards ... what do you want?"

"I want Gantz to make armour"

"Is that all right? Even if it looks like this, I have some money, right?"

"I want Gantz's armour more than that."

"Well, do you want more armour than gold?"

"no good?"

"No, it's the best answer."

Gantz grins.

Where is the unfriendly expression like when I first saw it?

With a courageous expression on his face, he rolled his arms to show off his proud body.

"I promise. I'll make the best armour."

"I'm expecting"

Negotiations have been concluded.

I'm interested in the armour that Gantz makes with all his soul.

How much will be produced?

I'm looking forward from now.

"Rain, Rain"

"Yes?"

"It's good to look forward to it, but first of all, you have to complete the request properly, right?"

It seems that he understands what he is thinking, and Kanade tells him that.

"Did I have such an easy-to-understand face?"

"I was doing it"

"I was doing it"

"I was"

"I was doing it"

I was told by everyone.

Would you like to practice poker face?

I just think about it seriously.

"Gantz, where is the mine?"

"It's not too far from here. I'll give you both a map to the mine and a map of the interior."

"I'll be saved"

"Ask. If you have any problems, please find out the cause. It's not a fool that you can't make armour... That's right."

Although it is a biased way to expose the Namakura and make armour only for the customers who like it ...

In other words, Gantz's feelings for armour are so serious.

I'm not an armour craftsman, but I felt like I could understand Gantz's feelings.

I want to help Gantz.

I think so purely.

"This request will definitely be fulfilled."

"" "" Ohhhhh !!! "" ""
