Botsuraku Youtei
Chapter 108
Not being able to secure a regular custouts I ignored him while he ranted on and on about how the expenses would increase evento begin with and it's also being too hasty, you know?
The name Rail Rain spread more and more day by day to the point that I could hear the na the shop It seems like there are several stories about him which substantiate the fact that he is an extremely wonderful person If he were an acquaintance of ht have been a VIP custoh I don't think the uard squad to the doctor of the ruain
Either way, I decided to forget about it and concentrate on what I can do myself I went back tothe way the other day, I prepared a special trainingtired of the foundation trainings, so the ti to his screaain, I started tohis exhausted body home Eli and I started to close the shop The business also ell today and ere able to end the day on a good note But when I went outside to put the 'closing for the day' sign in front of the shop, I sao custo fast to try and lad Weoff his sweat He had gone straight ho but it seeht a new customer
”This, is a customer froht you ht him here”
The man as rudely introduced as 'this', was a short, thinon his back From the scars all over his body, I can tell that he is usually in dangerous places He also seems very quick and nimble from the way he carries himself
”I usually buy swords from Mr Barol's place so I went to him today, as well, with a bit of a difficult job And then, he broughtthat he knows one blacksmith ould be able to perform difficult task Ah, my na an adventurer, it feels like he is an explorer fro eyes also backed that io see stuff I have never seen before!'-see like that on a daily basis
”Nice to meet you, adventurer Voltaire I am the blacksmith, Kururi I work in this shop”
I pointed at the shop behind the pig and raccoon statue This is ht into talking about the job?”
”For now, let's go inside”
He's quiet iuy who has no interest in things other than his job Even the 'it's a wonderful shop' was probably just flattery No one would call a shop with a pig and racoon statue in entrance wonderful! It should be called strange
”So about the job”
After welco him into the reception roo But Eli came in with tea so he stopped to take a sip and then started talking immediately after
”Thank you for the delicious tea About the job, I want you to on called the Life Dragon and there's a crystal on its back and I want to swing a shich uses that crystal! I had lost all hope when Mr Barol said it was iht know someone who can do it! Please accept this job!”
Due to his weird ht turn out to be quite a big job, I was perplexed When I looked at old man Barol, he had an expression which basically said 'I leave it to you'
”Life Dragon? I don't really know about it well but can you actually retrieve that crystal?”
”Yes!”
”Is it soh quality?”
”Of course!”
”Then where is the need for Mr Barol to reject? It see to a blacksmith”
I think one should always take on unknown jobs On top of it being fun, it also leads to one's skills i I thrusted the obvious question at old man Barol
”Hmm, it's because it will be a sword unlike a sword”
What is with that cool-sounding sword?
”This guy, he got excited and left out quite a lot of details The Life Dragon are a very rare species And it was him, Voltaire, who found out that the scales on its back are crystals That in itself is a very big achievement But”
”But?”
”That crystal is completely useless It can't be used as a material to make a sword You can't process it If you try, the crystal will die”
The crystal will die? Are we talking spiritually or so?
”You look puzzled Well, that much is natural You probably never even heard about crystals having life But there's no on has life It's a weird crystal, with the dragon's blood flowing through it”
And the one who found that was Mr Voltaire and he also wants to swing a shich uses it
As I iined, Mr Voltaire is more of an explorer than an adventurer
Fro but I can't even say that I will do it that easily I can't really go and say so oldis impossible
”It seems quite hard Do you even have the crystal at hand, in the first place?”
”If you accept, I will go get it!”
How aggressive
”M Unless I see the object, at least”
Seeingeyes started to look dejected He was in the uilty
”So you say it is hard too, eh? I thought you would surely go 'I can probably do it!' or so”
”No, no, you overestimate me”
”A sword unlike any other sword-only one person has been able to do it till now I don't knohere he is but they say he isn't here anyuy with the same name as yours, Kururi Helan That's the person Seems like he made a sith mana inserted into it Even after 3 years now, that sword has style and h it I have heard that it feelsrather than a sword from the people who have seen it Isn't it truly a sword unlike any other?”
Exactly how ends does this Kururi Helan has to hiht this up
He is trying to light a fire inKururi Helan And, as a result, it did light a fire in my heart I will do it
”Mr Voltaire, I will accept this job!”
”Really?! Thank you soin the ether”
Yes? No, no, no, no, no
It is your job to do the collecting, Mr Voltaire And ht?
”In teron It's ih I say that, I don't have the kind of gold to make other adventurers accoether!”
He ca up at me with really radiant eyes What a bomb of a custoht!
”Eli is supposed to go get the third bronze statue too out as well? Ah, I so want to go! I want to go but, I can't Sorry, Mr Voltaire”
”That's no problem Leave that to me! Of course, you don't need to pay me, either”
