59 [50] How to spend your vacation-Grandfather Sem, Bomb-.txt (1/2)

It had been a few days since Nanaterra had taken the measurements for Kunalia at the Merchants Guild.

At dusk that day, Virum and the three of them were on their way to his shop when they received a call from Assem.

Apparently the armor was finished.

You can't help but be amazed at how quickly they work.

I went through the steps and entered the shop in the basement, where I was greeted by Assem, who had shades under his eyes.

''I've been waiting for you. The armor you asked for is ready, so go ahead and try it on. I'll just make some minor adjustments. The armor is in the back room.

Okay. I'll just try it on.

'I'll go with you. I might not be able to wear it well by myself.

After the greetings, Meldina and Cunaria head to the room where the finished armor is being prepared.

After they close the door to the room, Virum turns to Assem.

''It looks like you've pushed yourself quite a bit. Are you okay?

'Ha-ha-ha! I was concentrating too much on making it. Well, this is not a part of the fatigue.

In fact, there was no element of tiredness from the pleasantly smiling Assem, other than the shades that formed under his eyes.

After they waited for a while, killing time with their chit-chat, the door to the back room was slowly opened.

The two people who came out were, of course, Meldina and Cunaria.

''Ah, um, how's it going...?''

The armor is of the type that covers both of Cunaria's shoulders and the two giant stars from the southern hemisphere to the lower abdomen, almost like a torso brace, so to speak.

In addition to the skirt-like lower part, the gauntlets and grieves on the extremities.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's been in this situation.

'It's hard to move with full armor, you know. That way, it doesn't restrict the movement of the joints, and in an emergency, the gauntlets and grieves can be used to guard them.

The corners of Asseem's mouth lifted in a grin as he explained, and he puffed out his chest as if to say how he felt.

'I see. It's a perfect fit for Coonaria.

Huh?

Although Vilm's words could be taken as a compliment, in reality, the correct interpretation is that it's perfect for Coonaria's (her fighting style).

However, Coonaria, who didn't realize that was the case, thought it was a rare compliment and hurriedly fell down on her blushing face.

After that, they handed the payment for the armor to Assem, who finished fine-tuning the armor while having him actually move his body, and Vilm and the others began to go around the store once again, but Meldina suddenly opened her mouth as if she had thought of something.

''Speaking of which, I heard that Assem-san is stepping down as the production guild's general manager, is that true?''

Yeah. To be precise, I'm not out yet, but I'll be out as soon as they decide on the next summary. I don't want to hear those guys' summaries!

Assem was answering Meldina's questions, but gradually he began to remember his anger from the other day, and his endings began to become more and more raspy.

'Calm down. You two are startled.'

I'm sorry.

'Nah, I'm fine. But what happened to Mr. Assem getting so angry?

When Coonaria asks the reason for this while being amused by the angry swordsmanship, Assem lets out a deep sigh and then begins to speak, looking a little batty.

''Didn't you once receive a flaming magic stone from Lord Virum before?''

Yeah, what about it?

I'm embarrassed to tell you, as a Dwarf, that magic stone has too much magic in it for me to process. Then those idiots! He offered to auction off the magical stones and use the money for the guild!

He must have been too angry.

There's not a hint of hesitation in exposing his shame as a craftsman until just now, and he seems to be surrendering to his rekindled anger.

It's a stupid thing to take care of those soft people who are in production, but give up just because of the difficulty of processing the materials. I'm not sure how many times I've been asked to do this.

After finishing speaking, Assem's expression is dark.

Considering what he said and did earlier, he's probably depressed not about getting off the summation, but about the fact that he couldn't process the magic stone that Virum gave him.

''Virum~, can you hear me~?

(”Hinori-sister? I can hear you. What's going on?”)

Virum responds to the telekinetic talk from Hinori, who has no warning, without changing his expression.

('I was listening to what you just said, but there's actually a child who wants to go out into the outside world. It's not safe to be alone, and I thought you could leave her with Assem.”)

(”Is that... okay?”)

(”The dwarves believe in the spirit of fire, so I think it's okay, right? Especially since Assem sees me as well. Besides, I want to respect her wishes as much as possible.'')
