Chapter 29

Smith

After being led into the room, we first sat down around the table and had some tea

When you invite people, you treat the

Whether in japan or in another world, that doesn't change, does it

”Once uild, my name is Alice This is my companion, Ilya”

”It is a pleasure to meet you”

”And this is the letter of introduction frouild”

When I was done introducing us and handed over the sealed letter of introduction, Cira did open her eyes wide in surprise

She had probably thought ere soirls to hear her story

We're not though, not that

”You're so young, but already adventurers”

Her hat twitched once

Frankly, I couldn't help but be intrigued by thatelse

Take it off

I want to take it off!!

What's hidden below there!?

”Hehe, Alice-sama?”

”Hah!?”

While Cyla had lowered her head to read the letter of introduction——I had unconsciously reached for the hat

”?”

Before Cira raised her head again, I was drinking tea again, okay?

I was holding the cup inthus

”Is there a problem?”

”No, this tea, it's delicious”

”You're exaggerating, it's not that a”

Ameow?

W-what, Ilya?

I', okay?

Ahh, I' a pointless fuss

Time for reflection

Oh, and Ilya?

That smile, it's scary

”Ehe it on, ill of course accept a cancellation”

Because of the circumstances of escort missions, cancellations are possible if the client feels uneasy

It's even written a the main points

Obviously

”No, if you are adventurers, then you've gone into Ruins before, right? Besides personally, ehm, I can trust Alice-san, or should I say”

For so face

Hah?

”Last night, I was also in the bar I remember you really well, Alice-san”

”I-is that so”

I on the other hand re~

But, well

Worrying won't help you any if you can't remember

If it doesn't turn into a probleht

It won't turn into a problem will it?

”We can depart any tiive us a call any time”

”I'll also be ready right away! I'll change into some other clothes, so please wait a moment,” Cira said and hurriedly disappeared into a room further into the house

In the roo area I could catch glances of, there was a big furnace with a fire burning inside

We've been hearing louding noises of iron being hit for a while Was so there?

The owner, maybe?

”Sorry I took so long Let's go”

Before enough ti” had passed, Cira had returned

Even after changing clothes, you're not going to take off that hat, are you?

Cira was a level 10 Apprentice Smith

We formed a party and headed to the town's Ruins under Cira's guidance

While chatting about this and that, we found out Cira's business there was the same as ours

Hearing about it, it was obvious In this world, there were classes suited to combat and those that were not Smithes and Tailors and classes like the ene their skills

In other words, Cira had practiced enough and reached the level to becoht, she had uild

”Heh? So after you become a proper smith, you want to have your own store in the royal capital?”

”Yes, I cannot rely on my teacher's kindness forever after all”

”Eh? He's not your father?”

”No I was a refugee”

Cira smiled dejectedly

damn my insensitivity

I really should abandon ht processes, I think

”I'm sorry, Cira-san”

”Ah, no! My teacher has been really good to , but, like you said, Alice-san, I think of him as a father just a little meowt bit”

Is that how it meows?

”But if you're ai to the same place I am”

”Eh? You want to go there, too, Alice-san?”

”Yes, ill only stay in this town until tomorrow before we head on to the capital”

”That's so nice I know I keep talking about it, but I don't knohen my dream will ever come true”

”Hmm”

A smith, huh

A connection to a smith

Shouldn't I treasure this?

”Cira-san, do you have regular customers?”

”Y-yes In this town, there is so some favors from But as I'm only my teacher's assistant, the inscriptions are all in his name”

Her embarrassed actions are so cute

Soirlish

Maybe I should use her as a reference?

Anyhow, that aside it ood smith, doesn't it?

”Unless there is a problem with it, you could ask Cira-saested from behind us

Does looking at her Attributes tell us so about her skills as a smith?

”Ah, yes I don't mind”

”Really? Thank you Could you show me, then?”

”Yes!”

Strength 1, Endurance 1, Protection 1, Agility 2, S 5

Hm?

”Until my teacher pickedemeow -ly”

That what is that all ameowt?

”That is a wonderful talent”

I'm a little lost as to what it exactly means, but I understand that much

I'll just ask Ilya the rest later

But with an Attribute at 5, as far as I know that makes her a monster!

Well, maybe I should use another word

Genius should work better
