Volume 11 Chapter 181 (2/2)
It seems he had determined I had a level of skill And he could instantly see through the fact that my current sabre was just a cheap mass-produced one
He was definitely competent
But stubborn
”Can't you do so about it? It's a metal no one has ever worked before So I wanted tocraftsmen, even in Beim”
There, the old hed
”Well it looks like this old codgers got quite a high evaluation I'ree that it's an appealing proposal But no”
Vera sounded a little angry
”Why!? If it's because of father, you don't have to care about hi to make Lyle's life difficult”
Hearing that old Letarta laughed And spoke as if to admonish Vera
”Then you'd best get hiht now By the way…up your shi+p”
Vera dropped her shoulders, apologized, and stood at a staleet any further The only thing I could think of way trying to persuade Vera's father Fidel-san
Old Letarta, who slance at me
”Well, I'll at least show your boyfriend ot at his waist So work hard, and persuade that whelp”
A man even Vera couldn't persuade There was no doubt he was a famous talent of Beim Even in the dwarven race with its abundance of blacksh to raise his name
I wanted his assistance by all means
There…
”Dad, there's a customer at the store Seems they want to see sabres”
When a doman came into the workshop, Letarta-san made a stiff face
”You… I said anyone could randson deal with it This sort of thing's a good experience”
There, the doman slapped his shoulder
”Oh shut it! That very grandchild is troubled, so go and help out, is what I' you won't listen to your precious daughter's son's request!?”
Perhaps flustered by his daughter's rage, Letarta-san cleared his throat, and stood
”I-I understand Good grief… where did I go wrong in raising her Sorry, young lady I have to see a custoh my wares all you want I'll throw in a discount”
Old Letarta left the workshop with his daughter, while we left out back, circled around, and entered the store-front part of the building
It was surrounded by other blacks around was old Letarta's shop
He did take on large jobs, but like this, he made crafts of his own, and sold them as well
With nuer, and a grandson in training… The store was enerations
When we entered through the front door, old Letarta, who'd looked grumpy before called out in a loud voice
”Oh that's no good! Then I'll have to prepare a splendid sabre for your beloved It isn't a bad idea to buy mass-produced ones enmasse, but when it really comes down to it, you'll need a reliable weapon!”
He was delightedly dealing with a custo at the counter, I saw the backs of two I have become quite accustomed to
One with a side-ponytail, and light brown hair
The other with golden twintails, and a maid uniform
”What are they doing?”
When I said that, Vera…
”Isn't his attitude a bit too different frohted, doesn't he? He's being evenwith me, isn't he?”
As Vera looked a little dissatisfied, I offered her a smile as I went to meet up with Novem
”Weren't you going shopping today?”
Both Novem and Monica turned around And both off them looked a little surprised as they looked at me
Monica explained the events that had led up to now
”No, we just happened to run into one another here Nor with the vixen even if it killed me, but… ah, orders are a different story, you know I, Monica, am resolved to take the initiative and carry out my Chicken dickwad's orders no matter how detestable they may be!”
I didn't care about that part, so I looked at Noveentle smile
”I thought to use this opportunity to get you a new sabre, Lyle-sa but mass-produced ones creates quite an expenditure, and ratitude to you”
What a good kid Shannon should just drink down the grime boiled off the bottom of her nails
But Noveave an aard smile
”Um, it's just… Monica-san said that instead of a sabre, we should get you a Katana”
”A what?”
When I tilted my head, Monica worked herself up
”Yes! As I thought, a katana suits you! Yamato's soul! A warrior's soul! No, was it a samurai's soul? Well, that stuff doesn't really matter! I'm sure you'll love it!”
(Who the hell is Yaht?)
But I didn't know of the weapon called a katana To ask what sort of weapon it was, I turned to old Letarta
”No, your guess is as good aslike a sabre But you see… if you ask me to make it, it's not like I couldn't but I don't want to sell so incomplete Please think that it will take some time More than that, and I’ll be frank, there's a problem with it as a weapon”
Hearing about a problem, Vera spoke
”What? Is its reach too short? Lyle, go ic Tool, you'll get quite an output”
And I'm troubled because I can't do that But froreed
『As expected of Vera! That's right, the gun is the weapon that will change the world! Lyle, choose the gun The sabre is a relic of the past』
I've been swinging that sabre for years and years, you know…
Old Letarta opened his mouth
”It's like a sabre It's a weapon that can thrust and cut, but in that case, endurance will be a problem What's more, it's even slimmer than a sabre, she says To be blunt, even n It'll break her-quality rare metal, I can't say it could be used as a weapon at all And this all begs a question of why”
Hearing that, Monica
”But you can say the same for a sabre, can you not? Now Chicken dickhead! Take up a katana! It's alright! The blade's a bit different, but it's pretty much the same as a sabre!”
I didn't knohy talks were going this way, and I looked around somewhat bothered
But when I looked at Novem, old Letarta…
”And wait, you guys were acquaintances? I guess there really are coincidences like this in life 'Kay then, got it While I' lady's request as well I' a bit more motivated”
On his words, Vera looked surprised
”… Eh?”
Nove her thanks to old Letarta
”Thank you very much”
”Oh, don't mind it! Besides, that whelp's request was a personal one He's no right to complain if I prioritize another one over his”
Novem had always had a tendency to be liked by demi-humans
(Is this also the Goddess's… no, the evil God's grace? Well, whatever)
I rejoiced over the fact I had ed to secure a craftsman, while Vera…
”… What's this feeling I can't accept it When even I was no good, he accepted it at once with Novem”
She looked quite unsatisfied
