Chapter 114 (1/2)

Summary of the last chapter in three lines

Weapon creation?

If you want a pot or knife, then……

Maybe go to the back of the store to talk then?

The difference in appearance between the interior and the storefront was huge. They could see the entrance to the workshop, but they were guided to the home area instead.

「Here, drink this tea.」

After being guided to the living room and waited on the couch for a while, fragrant black tea was served for them.

「Thank you…… hmmm, what a nice scent. This tea used quite good leaves, right?」

「Ohhh, you understand aren't you, missy? This is something I purposely ordered from another country. Speaking of dwarves, our beverage is mostly liquor, so there is no one who understands the goodness of this. Don't be hesitate and drink up. Besides teacakes, I also prepared cookies.」

The dwarf went back to the kitchen and came back with a plate filled with cookies. Looking at his teapot that was covered in tea cosy, his pa.s.sion for tea was apparent to eyes.

「So, about the talk from before……」

Souta tried to get their conversation back on track, however, the dwarf and Dina were excitedly talking about tea. Dina looked to enjoy the talk too.

「I also particular with this teapot, this teapot is made of gla.s.s!」

「Ahh, that's nice. It's fun to see the movement of the tea leaves inside. We used the silver one at home, it tastes better, but not being able to see the inside is kinda…」

「No, I was also using a silver pot at first. By chance, my merchant acquaintance found this pot. It was quite expensive, but I fell in love with it and bought it immediately.」

Souta's words seemed to not reach their ears, so he decided to take a short break and ate the cookies that were served with the tea cakes while waiting for their talk to finish.

「I'm glad missy is someone who understands this kind of talk. It's the first time I could talk so much about tea.」

「Me too! Many people go with the reasoning that as long as it's delicious it's whatever, so……」

「Can we start going to our previous topic?」

Seeing the talk about tea seemed to settle down, Souta interrupted them.

「Ha? Ahhh, my bad, I completely forgot.」

「I'm sorry, me too.」

The dwarf and Dina apologized to Souta while looking awkward.

「It's fine, it seems you two have opened up to each other and I enjoyed the delicious tea too.」

「M-My bad. It's good that you said that.」

The dwarf scratched his head while bowing his head again.

「Now, going back to the previous topic. About the katana, can you create it together with me? If you're the descendant of him, there should be no problem with your ability. It might be by another person, but the weapon made for an alchemist I know in the elven country is also brilliant.」

Seemingly knew which weapon Souta was talking about, the dwarf nodded.
