V2C37 (2/2)

It might be nice to pass the time by becoming a blacksmith and forging swords after I raise Jobless to the highest level and acquire all the skills.

I will spread my name as a blacksmith the same time I graduate from Jobless.

However, to become a blacksmith, I apparently need to level Hammer-user to get Apprentice Blacksmith before I can become a Blacksmith.

“Welcome. What are you looking for?”

A young man came out to the counter.

This guy is a blacksmith? I thought but the guild reception man mentioned ‘old man’. No matter how I look at it, this guy is too young to be called that.

I tried looking at his job and 【Apprentice Blacksmith Lv4] came up. He’s most likely something like a disciple of this shop’s owner.

“Yeah, I borrowed and used the kumakiri knife in the Adventurers Guild and the sharpness was excellent so I hope to get 1 as well.”

“Ah, kumakiri knife huh. Please come this way.”

“200 sense huh … maybe I’ll buy 1 then. Also, I want a sword with a sharp edge as well. One about this size.”

I took out my iron sword to show him.

I yearn for a greatsword but I wanted to place emphasis on usability.

“If that’s the case, then how about the steel sword here?”

Steel sword huh. It’s certainly true that it will be easier to use than an iron sword.

The price is 1000 sense? I still don’t know well enough if it is expensive or cheap but I’ll buy it.

“Haru, do you have anything you want?”

“No, nothing really …”

“I see, by the way, Haru, please walk there slowly.”

I ordered her to slowly walk along the dagger corner. (TL: it can refer to either daggers or short swords)

As Haru slowly walked, her tail swung greatly in front of a particular sword.

” … Fang of the Fire Dragon?”

The price is 3000 sense huh.

“It’s a dagger made from the fang of a fire dragon.”

The male sales attendant took the dagger and put some force into it.

When he did so … the dagger lit with fire.

“It is capable of converting physical attack power into magical power and release flames. It is useful for Swordsmen with low magic attack power and also because it can perform long-ranged attacks.”

I accepted the sword from the man and tried it myself. Of course, I held back.

Oh, the sword certainly gets lit on fire.

“Then, I’ll have 1 of this. Haru, use this.”

“Eh … I already have the short sword.”

“Keep 1 as a spare. Since you never know what might happen during a fight.”

” … Thank you very mu …! Shopkeeper, sorry but please hide me!”

Haru said so, flew behind the counter and hid in the back.

“Eh? Haru? What’s wrong?”

“Sorry master. Please assume that I am not here.”

What?

When I was still thinking about that.

“Umu, so this is a commoner weapon shop … what a dirty shop. Sebastan, does this really belong to the best blacksmith in Belasra?”

“Yes, Oregeru-sama. That was what I heard but the information was from a hoodlum’s information shop at any rate.” (TL: Oregeru is the noble that wanted to buy Haru)

The ones who entered was a man in wealthy-looking clothes and a butler about 50 years of age.

Looking at their jobs, I conjectured the reason for Haru’s strange state.

【Noble Lv14]

【Combat Butler Lv49]

… Haru, so it’s because of this?

However, this person …

“However, Sebastan, there doesn’t seem to be any majestic sword fit for my use.”

“Yes, as expected, we can’t hope to find a sword befitting of Oregeru-sama without hiring an exclusive blacksmith.”

… He took out something that looked like a toy sword, a sword that was even smaller than a short sword.

The sword was shining gold but the blade was rounded such that it didn’t look like it could even cut paper.

… Short legs with a short and stout body … and also a voice as if it had not even broken.

Isn’t he just a brat.

“Well, a fading shop like this would likely gain prestige since I’ve come to visit. Count yourself lucky, shopkeeper! I’ll have this in exchange for advertising cost …”

Oregeru tried to carry one of the swords on display … but could not carry it and gave up,

“It doesn’t matter. We’re going to the gambling parlor Sebastan.”

“Yes, Oregeru-sama.”

The 2 left as the Apprentice Blacksmith young man and I remained silent.

Then, Haru’s face popped up.

“Haru, perhaps that person is?”

“Yes, he’s the person who wanted to purchase me, Oregeru-sama.”

So it’s a person like that.

… Seriously?
