Chapter 043: Eye of the artisan, Own position, Luciel learns of the cheat protagonist
Translator: Tseirp
The arrival of legendary artisans in the Holy City’s smithy caused a temporary disruption in its operation. The 2 were no longer treated as blacksmith and tailor but as super stars.
As I observed the chaos, I tried asking Catherine-san who was beside me.
“I was suddenly dragged here but are those 2 famous? It’s such a frenzy that we almost can’t even enter?”
“You didn’t know? Firstly, Grand-san is the guildmaster for the Chamber of Commerce and stands at the apex as the eternal master craftsman within the dwarf blacksmiths certified by the Blacksmith Association. Likewise Toretto-san, even though he acts like that, comes from a legendary family and possess remarkable tailoring skill capable of making that Angel’s Pillow, that only 5 others are capable of.”
” … Seriously? Even just yesterday I was helped greatly by that pillow. Ah, now I have high expectations.”
“I guess you would. Even I am also using that pillow, it’s really amazing.”
“Yeah. Is it possible that that item can be mass produced?”
“Maybe~. There are a variety of them. But they are busy people who rarely have time to spare so I don’t know about that. The fact that you could meet them this time can be considered lucky.”
“There are amazing people all around the world huh.”
” … Luciel-kun, it’s about time you be slightly more aware of yourself?”
“Lately I have set a target for myself.”
“What is it?”
“To live a mediocre life.”
” … Do you best.”
“Understood.”
We had that conversation while Grand-san and Toretto-san were being mobbed.
“Swing your sword downwards using your usual stance.”
“Yes.”
“Good. Don’t move.”
Currently measurements had ended, and they were examining the range of motion and places to stitch in the braids for the magic circles.
I became an existence like a mannequin, or like a golem who only moves according to commands.
The expression on the 2 of them was unlike before, with eyes that showed their desire to work with all their soul. Those eyes reminded me of the brewmaster I met in my previous life.
He maintains the temperature of the rice and the fermentation temperature for the yeast. He gets up during midnight and work to adjust the temperature by cooling the rice. When morning comes he drains the water from the rice and further steams and cools the rice before adding in yeast.
Those were the eyes of an artisan. It was different from the eyes of the presidents of construction companies when they inspect blueprints to look for anything missing.
These 2 people concentrated their eyes and their bodies moved in reaction to that. That was what I observed.
When all the steps had ended, the sun had already set and the 2 people returned to the expression they had when I first met them.
“Done. Let’s go get a drink.”
“That’s a good idea. Catherine-chan come along too.”
“Huh~ Just a bit okay.”
Without asking for my opinion, the old man dwarf and fox as well as the people who lent the smithy walked towards the dining place.
Me? I was carried over their shoulders like a rucksack, do you have something to say?
I was brought to the dining place but I didn’t drink any sake. The reason why I didn’t drink was because I would think of Shisho if I drank.
