CH 35

A mysterious old man with horns ―― was he a member of a race called the Dragonborn? That person suddenly called me over and handed me this paper that I’m holding right now.

According to the old man, the recipe for the sword is written on this blank piece of paper…

… It’s certainly fascinating, but the rest of the conversation is a minefield…. What do you mean, “successor”… I am my father’s successor!

…

So now I logged in and I’m walking around Sādin again.

I would like to go to a place where I can relax, but after all, the place where I can relax is the Blacksmith’s Guild.

So, let’s go to the Blacksmith’s Guild! !

――――

――

Having walked from the west, I am now in the southeast area.

The Blacksmith’s Guild is located in the center of the southeast area of Sādin, and the Blacksmith’s Guild here is moderately well-equipped. And the building itself is bigger than the one in Selkadia!

「Sorry to bother you」

「Suit yourself」

At the reception desk in the center of the building smithing is Ge… Goll… Who’s that…?

「… I’m Zair. Nice to meet you…」

「Ah, I’m Ayane! It’s nice to meet you」

「That side is empty right now, so use that」

「Oh, um, do you have a request… ?」

「… Hold on a second」

「Yes」

Zair-san was still in the middle of hammering, so I waited for a while.

「Sorry to keep you waiting. So, a request. Give me your guild card」

「Yes」

I handed something called a guild card in my inventory to Zair-san.

「I see. I see. So you haven’t received any requests at all」

「Ugh! Well, I haven’t been able to accept any lately, so I thought I’d receive some…」

「Oh, well. So, my request, make an Iron Club… Do you accept?」

「Yes!」

「Okay」

The guild card contains a bit of information about the requests received and fulfilled recently.

●●●●●●●●●●

【Request】 Create an Iron Club x 1!

【Achievement Requirements】 Deliver a STR: 50 Iron Club!

【Reward】 Iron Club x 1, Magic Iron x 15, Iron x 30!

【Description】 Build a club, a bashing weapon! This time we’ve added an achievement requirement! Take it seriously!

●●●●●●●●●●

T- That’s some passionate writing… ? Is there a different writer for this? I wonder if the writer is different every time… ?

I don’t know what the specs are, but they’re interesting to look at, and personally, I like them!

After accepting the request, I bowed my head and headed for the forge at the far end, opposite the entrance.

I went to the place where I was told to use it, but there was a woman there.

It seems that they are taking care of the women.

Unlike other people I had met in the past, I felt uncomfortable, but I knew that she is kind like them.

I made eye contact with the woman next to me who was making accessories, so I just bailed and sat down.

「… I think I’d like to build something a little more elaborate anyway…」

The request for a club I received this time is written like that, but I think it will probably be accomplished by just turning iron into a stick.

But it’s a bit boring, isn’t it? That’s why I’ll make an elaborate one.

It will be built using iron and geyzamarin, which I still have a large surplus of.

As usual, I place the anvil. Today I’m going to make an alloy of iron and geyzamarin. The alloy will be stronger than normal metal, so it’s useful~

――Kaaaaan! ! Kaaaan! ! Kaaankaaaaan! ! !

――Kaaaan! Kaaan! ! Kaaaankaaaan! !

――

―

「Not good…」

Ayane muttered to herself. The reason why she muttered was quite simple.

「… They don’t mix at all… !」

For some reason, the geyzamarin separates immediately. Maybe I should try alchemy…?

That’s what I came up with, and unfolded the alchemy kit.

As a result, Alchemy Smithing proved to be really useful.

「T- They’re finally mixed… !」

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

【Name】 Geyzar Iron Alloy: Quality 8

【Description】 An alloy of geyzamarin and iron produced by alchemy. It is much harder than those made from ordinary geyzamarin and iron.

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

「「A- Amazing!」」

「… Eh?」

「It’s amazing!」

「H- Huh… ?」

「Ah! Well well, excuse me. My name is Luna!」

It was the woman sitting next to me who had just said the first word.

「Can I talk to you for a minute… ?」

「Eh? O- okay…」

At any rate, I decided to listen to what she had to say.

…… I’m a Japanese who can’t say no, what of it…?

Author’s Notes:

Gale-san, Gol-san, Zair-san… Next is, Jill-san…?

The 2nd round of questions that seemed unlikely, but actually happened.

Q. How did you come to love yuri?

A. Was it because I saw yuri stuff when I was in eighth grade? At that time, I thought, 「Oh… It’s good…」 That’s how I felt. Yes, I did.

If you have any questions, please send them to me! It makes me happy as an author to have another shenanigan (breather) like this!
