Vol 10 Chapter 187 (1/2)
An Army of Monsters
When I headed for the mansion’s storehouse to look over Darandson came up to me
He was carrying a wooden crate, and he had brought over a change of clothes for old Letarta, who had stayed night after night to work
What old Letarta pulled out of the box was the weapon called a katana, apparently
“So it’s finally complete!”
Monica looked delighted, but the oldquite a tired expression
“Ordering me to make a custom weapon I’ve never heard of in such a busy time… now listen here, you never told le ite?”
The reason for his fatigue was likely because of the army of monsters about to s to prepare
Even so, with an order to forge a brand neeapon, the young dwarven man had done his best to complete it… alone
Feeling quite apologetic, I looked in the box to find five swords of slightly different shape Letarta was looking over one of them
“Can I see?”
“I mind it not It’s your weapon I’randson how you will”
The young dwarf dropped his shoulders
“How do you expect me to adjust an unknoeapon…”
Old Letarta returned the blade to its scabbard Reaching his hand out to another one, he confirmed each katana one after the next
“Quite considerate of you to use sabre handles for them, but… isn’t this a bit off?”
When he tilted his head, Monica alone was the only one who looked happy, as she turned just her head to look at us
“That’s just how it is”
“No, no matter how you look at it, this is…”
As old Letarta seeentle curve, and there were tidy ripples along the blade
Just looking at itsucked in, but it utilized an enclosed sabre hilt intended for one hand, and holding it alone made me feel its difficulty of use
Cut, thrust, taking a stance, as a result of testing those actions, I… returned to the storehouse, and lowered a fist onto Monica’s head Her golden twin tails swayed
“It’s for a coh!? This is a completely different weapon! What’s more, it was definitely intended for two hands!”
Monica held her head with both hands
“Don’t worry It’s cool”
I grabbed the twin tails, and pulled them in opposite directions
“Wait! My precious twin tails will be plucked! My precious cuticles! Stop! But, if you want therow the theh…”
So is she mad, happy, or what?
I handed the ‘katana’ to the young dwarf
“What should we do? Do you want me to shorten it a bit?”
“No, keep it as it is Whichever the case, I have another request for you, so I’d like you to prioritize that”
“… Eh? I never heard anything about that”
The young dwarf looked at Letarta, as the oldover the final one of the blades
“I’ to take the request What, there are tih work I’m sure that son-in-law of mine is busy, so do your best”
The youth dropped his shoulders once more
On top of old Letarta’s work desk, there were a nu toon the storehouse’s wall
They had fe developed
“Are things going favorably here?”
When I looked at the desk and confirmed it, old Letarta nodded
“When that Damien boy finishes the ether I finished the ars, or s would be best”
I wanted to tell hi like that, but it looked like he was seriously thinking it over
“As long as you can finish it in teeks’ time, you can ponder all you want”
There, old Letarta looked at me
“Oh? Thein teeks? You sure you should be here then, bro?”
I scratched my head
According to Rauno-san’s infor out of the Labyrinth It had been unskillfully made deeper, so it couldn’t be helped that the estimations had the numbers reached a few hundred thousand
Soone for recon, and ain Beim’s direction over all else
“I already havefavorable on that side as well In regards toall the help froet”
This ti considerable contributions to transportation, and adding onto the fort
She proposed the optie With that as the base, I prepared funds, and got together the necessary materials and tools
After that, I could only leave it to the craftsmen
At that ed wearing a lab coat Automaton maid No 1 was by his side, and for soleeful
“Huh? You’re back again?”
“I had some business here”
Dalasses, and wiped their lenses
“Things arefavorably here I think we’ll have to start theuess?”
“They’ll ht?”
Automaton
Unlike Monica’s race, it was so much more primitive, or so Damien said But you could also call them basic automatons specialized for battle
Old Letarta spoke
“They’ll move for what it’s worth, but the problem is we don’t knohat extent of abilities they can exhibit Gole them Even if you make one that h its performance will be?”
Dalasses back on
“We’ll make it, so fret not I alanted a performance test in real battle! So why did you return, this time?”
I let out a sigh
“… To pick up the guns I also need to get gunpowder and such at Vera’s place”
Vera said she’s go to Fort Redant too, but as expected, that one was too much for Fidel-san to permit
The valuable sailors couldn’t be lent out by the Trēs House either, so I’d have to teach up on guns over there
I wanted to prepare as many bows and crossbows as possible, but Bei those weapons up, so it was in a state where you couldn’t buy them, even if you had money
“I heard you fired up that Fidel whelp quite a bit Do you care nor for your life?That whelp is a merchant of Beim If he was in the mind for it, he could send those suited for strive”
Letarta sounded worried, but I just shrugged my shoulders
“I’ his flames to the borderline, so it’s fine And he isn’t the sort of person to attack at a time like this”
Learning I was going to the fort, he was quite delighted at the start Because he pro, a few otherit
From the katanas left on the table, I took one in hand
“… I’ll be borrowing one”
Old Letarta laughed
“It’s yours regardless”
Monica had reset her twin tails, and seeing ot quite worked up
“Chicken dickwad, how cool!”
She said with both hands in the air It irritated me, so I pinched her cheeks
