Chapter 25 (1/2)

Blacksmith Volume 2 Chapter 5

Okay, now all I’ve got to do is choose my electives

After school, I was thinking about such things while I worked on building the clubroom

First I chose Herbalism, so next would be…

Raising a cute pig in Aniht hurt, but it’s one of the leading candidates

I want to eat better and better meats

Martial arts is definitely a no

It’s a very disheartening class

When I saw the figure of a girl with a physique larger than my own I couldn’t help but freeze up

I almost hurled, and decided that class wouldn’t be for irl

Toh Law sounds interesting as well

“Bucho”

“Hmm?”

“You’ll get hurt if you hile thinking absentmindedly”

“Ah that’s right, thanks”

I should probably take my club member’s advice and concentrate on my work

Even so, as that guy?

Soon I should take to learning the club roster by heart When I call out to the if I was only able to refer to them by ‘That person over there’

So far the clubroo really well

Everyone worked with high motivation, and the artisans that came from Thomas-san’s territory were very masterful in their trade

Speaking of people who’ve recently ca over to spectate our progress as of late

In less than two days, she had already blended into the group as if she were an original member

Since she has a good enough appearance to be called a beauty, she’s also becoood source of motivation for our male members

I irl is around, right?

Even so, I think it was a good idea to take her in

She’s happy, and we’re happy, that’s what’s important

As I was thinking about such trivial things, intowards me at a desperate pace

I don’t know his name, but I do know his face There’s no doubt he’s a member

“Bucho!!”

I had a bad feeling, fro to be a pleasant conversation

“Take a deep breath, and explain it to me calmly What happened?”

Imy own heart

Since I asked, please be a trivial story!

“Fu~, can I have a moment?” (sfx: Breath out)

“Take another deep breath in”

“Yes”

He dutifully did another great job of breathing in and out

“Fu~ That Eliza Deauville is approaching here with a fierce expression right as we speak! Her entourage of four have weird expressions plastered on as well!”

Hey, you’re joking right? You’re wrong right? Please tell !

Who was it that sury Goddess?!!

The members who had heard the story stopped their ith pale faces

With the wolves coether in a herd

Noill be our sacrifice

…and of course, it couldn’t be anyone else but me

While taking quick strides in h me

Indeed, right now I could feel an unusual amount of hot air in as usually quite a cold atmosphere

Even so, she sure is beautiful… No! How can I think about such things, especially right now?

Please, do a U-turn! Turn around! Do not approach! Even if I knew it useless I tried praying a little… and of course, it was in vain

I wonder if this is how sheep feels when they know they’re about to be slaughtered and eaten raw

I’ to run away, but if anyone else does I won’t blame them

Even so, the aura released by Eliza sure is scary

Woe’re a pathetic herd

They can’t learn that their ‘Bucho’ is feeling anxious at heart

I could feel their lines of sight falling on me

Huh, I wonder what Eliza’s so angry about

‘Cause whoever’s responsible is getting a huge scolding later!

“Greetings, Kururi-sama”

Iirl in her entourage that was about to say so, Eliza spoke herself

The very saht in front of me

…she’s beautiful, but ,me

I definitely wouldn’t be able to eat anything at this moment

“Hey Eliza, what’s with the scary face? Even worse, what’s with that tone that’s as if you’re issuing a challenge? My stomach won’t be able to handle this pressure you know?”

“Kururi-sa jokes already”

Kiritsu! (sfx: Sharp glare) I could al drawn fro into my own

“Uhatever you’re angry about I’ive us?” I decided it’d be best if I just apologised like normal

“I’m here for Mary-san”

“Mary?”

Oh… but wasn’t she fired fros?

“Do you need so from her?”

“Nothing big, she’s already out of h recently, she’s been extre without even telling me about it? How dare she”

“Oh, really?”

The person who sury Goddess was me!!

I’m so sorry!! Please don’t chastise me!!

“Mary-san”

The voice itself was alluringly gentle, but it had an inexplicable chill to it

“…yes”

In a tone that was all but fleeting, Mary answered while she rushed over to Eliza

“Well, what do you have to say for yourself?”

“I…”

Mary looked like she was about to cry

Heck, I felt like I was about to cry Eliza was that scary

“Bucho!” “Bucho!” “Kururi-san!” “Bucho!”

Some of the club members called out to me

I can’t afford to let a wolf take a young female sheep away from the herd

I understand that feeling I kneould be painful, but I didn’t think that Eliza would be this inti

My ancestors have probably hunted down dozens of wolves before This should be easy

…Fu

Clenching htly, I opened my mouth

“Eliza wait, what are you going to do to Mary?”

Redirecting her gaze to my face, I could feel the words “There’s no need for me to tell you” stab me from Eliza’s eyes
