First, we found Mr. Crow.
”Hi.
Hey. What's up? The weapon isn't ready yet.
'No, it's an addition to the request. It's probably a simple one.
What's it like?
Here's your fishing weights and hooks.
'That sure sounds easy enough. I'll make one for you for a change. I'll need ore and a bee stinger for the materials.
A change of pace?
Okay. Go ahead.
I give them the material and sure enough, it's ready to go. I pay and receive the money. But I appraise it, but it doesn't show up as an item. Apparently it's all a set of items called fishing rods.
'As soon as your skill level goes up, it's ready to go.
You've improved your skills.
Oh. This one did.
Mr. Crowe pointed to the Wolfman's claws. But it's still a claw.
'Is it a difficult object?'
It's a mid-boss drop material. I tried hitting it with a hammer, and when my blacksmithing skills leveled up, I was shocked.
Apparently, this guy is a massive piece of experience in blacksmithing skills.
'Thanks to that, I think I'm ahead of the other blacksmiths. But apparently he's missing a lot more than just skills. Sorry, but it's going to take quite a while.
It'll be fine. I'm expecting a good quality weapon.
Now you're going to tell me. No, this is the real deal.
Well, what do you think?
I fooled around and left the place. Then I head over to Yugu-san's place, and I see Yugu-san emitting a masculine voice that I can't let people hear.
''Noooooooooooo!''
The cause is a large tree. Mr. Hugues is struggling desperately with it. He tries to cut it off with the saw, but he hasn't made any progress. The big tree is too strong. Eventually the speed slows down and Mr. Hugues has run out of steam.
''Zee...zee...ah!''
My eyes met with Mr. Hugues.
'Hi.'
Hi, welcome. Can I get you something?
'Hugues, I'm struggling to disguise my earlier appearance.
'Actually, I was hoping to get a fishing rod made at the big tree over there.
When Yug heard that, he froze. 'Yes.
'In case you're wondering, you're saying that after watching that earlier, right?
Yes, sir.
Demon!
Yug shouted. 'Because I want Daiki's fishing rod.
'My woodworking skills just keep getting better and better, but I'm not very good at it at all.
Mr. Crowe felt the same way.
Yeah, but I have a feeling this one will be more difficult.
Why is that?
'Was it Lily's fighting spirit? It's a tree that's barely broken with that one strengthening it. This
...Oh, that makes sense. Wait? Well, then...
Lily, can you help me with Mr. Yug?
”? What do I have to do? Tact.
'Well... maybe you could help me cut down a tree?
'Oh! That might work!
So Lily and Hugues decided to cut the tree together. Then they started to cut it down little by little.
”Squeak! Giggle!
It helps that Lily looks like she's enjoying herself. And finally, the big tree snapped.
'Finally, it snapped! Oh, yeah! Level up! And two?
He just cut it off and it seems to have gone up a level. Awesome.
”Now, the request was for a fishing rod, right?
Yes, sir.
We'll take care of it! I'll just make it up as I go along.
