Expecting To Fall Into Ruin, I Aim To Become A Blacksmith Chapter 82 (2/2)
”I see, I see Well, everyone with a skill has an alias By the way, I am known as the Iron Brain, Gormen Areshi+k”
As I thought, this person is the one who invited me, Gormen Areshi+k He looked older than everyone here so I had thought he would be the one but… I am kinda curious about his alias Iron Brain Does thatin his brain? If that is so, he ood way and bad way
”Now then, since The Great Dancer has also arrived, let us begin the enda is, as you all know, to select a person to fill the empty chair of Elder Caht be your first ti about you for a while after hearing rumours about you”
The Elder part is the alias, right? If it is an alias, that ht? So by elder, does it mean he was always old? I would like to hear more about this, please! Out of personal interest!
”And so, by chance, ere able to get a sword you made in our hands… And this sas such a rare beauty I could feel vivid energy froeous On top of that, we got to know the person who ht have been selfish of ive you the alias, The Great Dancer”
”So that is how it ca such a nice alias”
I aster If there is an Elder, I can't deny the possibility of it happening
”And so, this is the shich gave us the deep impression at that time It is a sword you made, correct?”
The sword Iron Brain held out… It was a sword I had made It is not like I can remember all the swords I made but I definitely remember the ones where I curved my name on By the way, it seems like one should call each other by their alias here so I should learn from it
”Yes… that is… right”
”That's quite an inarticulate way of saying it”
Inarticulate? I ave to someone but it wasn't that well et much sleep In the first place, I did not make it with the intention to sell so I didn't ets judged, to be honest, I kinda feel more embarrassed than happy
”No, hahah, I see It is good then I alad I came”
”Yes It is difficult to reach this level without natural talent Do you have a teacher?”
”Yes, his naa He is an obstinate person who truly has the spirit of an artisan Do you know him?”
”Hoo, so Dogan is your teacher I have been his teacher so naturally, I do know hiood but he eird in a good way I can see his genuine love towards son–that is quite the achievean”
What a weird turn of fate To think teacher Dogan was Gorsen-san's student And also that he wasn't that good–kinda makes me want to object as his student But he probably knows teacher Dogan way better than me The fact that he still remembers him means…
So that means this person is the teacher ofperson?
”Even he does not have an alias Can you co you are from that?”
”Means I am better than teacher? I do not really think that is the case, though…”
”How an does enter a group of people in this world but is definitely not one of the top The top, that is truly so these ten–that is what I think”
I wanted to hear that froood too
”The ones at the top will decide ill happen of s, is so the people present here should do And thus, I can't pick an unskilled person I think you are worthy of one of these 10 seats I wanted to hear your and the others' opinions about officially inaugurating you to your position today”
The explanation of the situation had ended and ere not entering the main topic for today
I will pull the business world of the blacksh I had not even openedin
”May I speak?”
Gor each other, and there were 3 people on the right and 4 on the left A man in the prime of his life raised his hand
”Go ahead, Kabuki”
”I aainst The Great Dancer's addition to the ten excellence”
”Hou, you always give clear opinions Please, let us know the reason”
”Yes, to be honest, I had approved of it before coain, it kinda gives off a feeling of youth… It is a great sword and honestly, it is a kind which even I can't make However, when compared to my swords, I think it is inferior I want to keep this place a place where only people the sa selfish”
”No, it is an i to say to this?”
Of course I do He said it politely but I was being insulted as an artisan
”It ht come out as an excuse, and it is not like I really want to enter the ten excellence but that sword is not finished well It was et out to the world as a half baked sword and I will learn froain, it is not like I want to enter the ten excellence However, it would be troubling if one were to judgeday by day That sword is not rand sum of skill
I think I said prettyI wanted to say…
I did not really kno a of a place this is but if one were to ask me if I want to join then, honestly, I do not It seems like a bother
”I alad you are clear with your opinion as well To think you can reater than this… if that is true then that is aht to the top…”
”Only if that is true Youngsters always tend to exaggerate themselves Please consider that as well”
The Kabuki is definitely not accepting arcoat his words Iron Brain said it too but I guess he is an honest person Not a type I hate
”I approve of him”
Closest to me, on the left side of the table, the man who looked like 30 revealed his opinion
”So you approve, Zeni Geba You don't often display your opinion so it is quite unusual of you”
(TL note: Zeni means money in japanese and Geba means die Gewalt (power) in German, so the title can be translated into “Moneypower”)
Zeni Geba?! Are you really okay with that?!
Iyou Zeni Geba, you know?!
”Youth is a strong point That fact that he can make even better swords, whether that is true or false, the fact that he can reatly approve”
”There is also that way of looking at it Certainly, we are lacking youth here The only one here who is lively is probably you, Zeni Geba And it is also true that the others, including me, tend to think one-sidedly”
After that, there was a opposition of opinions between the opposing Kabuki and the approving Zeni Geba
Iron Brain see side but because of his position, he had to stay neutral and thus, the situation ca to be heating up, whenever it was about to calm down, he poured more oil
Is it justquite fun? Honestly, it is a situation where I alone am left out
”Everyonee~ It is about time we have lunch~”
The young, receptionist lady ca food and everyone obediently abided
”With his assets, there is a rumour Zeni Geba is about to buy the position of a noble And so, ”
It looks like the Iron Brain can naturally scoop out a person's thoughts Zeni Geba's cheeks got a little red while he was having lunch
”Ah, yes yes, I did not yet tell The Great Dancer all about the ten excellence yet As we are giving you such a position, of course a co of it is also there We have a foundation and from there, quite a lot ofit but really, quite a lot of money is divided every year Well, since The Great Dancer is a noble so it e to you”
Money?! A good amount of it?!
”………After how much time?”
”Oya? It seems you're interested Of course, all the tio o mad yourself, we don't really expel anyone either”
”Is that so? You can never have too much money I am the next head of the Helan territory, even if it just soe, I can use it properly”
”I see, I see It looks like The Great Dancer is quite talented The prince also seeether–this country's future looks bright I can die in peace”
Don't say such things But, hi fun also kinda looked cool
”Now then, since our sto that ill have a look at your other swords at a later date, let's put out our opinions for now I like theup but I do not want it delayed”
”Then, let's go with majority rule like always”
”Right Let's go clockwise starting from me Iron Brain, approve”
As I thought, he approves
”Kabuki, approve”
After that, unexpectedly, Kabuki also turned to approve Even though he was initiating the opposition
The person after that, and the person after that, and eventually everyone present there unanireed
……What exactly was the passionate discussion a while ago?
”And there you have As you heard, the whole place unanimously wants to welcome you Lastly, if you were to also accept, ould officially make you a member but…”
The progression was so fast that honestly, I became a little perplexed
But, I aet a little money too… not like I really want it but… No, really
I also want to restore my honour from the half-assed sword too so…
”It is an honor Of course, I will gladly accept”
”Very well! Well then, the Ten Excellenceis now over! Suspended! We will send the authorized proof later so wait a few days”
As the Iron Brain announced 'suspended' with an unthinkable volue, everyone left the place at full speed They didn't even exchange greetings as they were leaving
As expected of artisans!
The only exception a them, Zeni Geba, came to talk to me
”The Great Dancer, if you are okay with it, how about co to my company later? You can have a look at how easily I earn ”
”Yes, I will gladly come by”
I also ht acquaintance so it was a fruitful day
Having thought about it now, did I become quite the artisan?
The day when I will think I was correct to choose this path ht be really close by
