ā And thatās how we ended up in the human world looking for a craftsman to repair the spear or make a new one. Undercover, of course.
Iām sure it mustāve been hard to find one.
ā It wouldnāt take long to find a creator capable of making difficult things like heavenly swords or demonic swords. Even if it was, Letty and I are Succubi, we can get information out of people easily.
Mumuruu and Letty (Whoās not here) were acting as bar girls to overhear rumors about potential craftsmen.
ā But they all turned you down?.
ā How pathetic. For the Shimmering Succubus Leader, one of the Four Fiendish Guardians, to fall this lowā¦
Mumuruu lowered her head.
ā These two suspicious people with their faces covered approach you and ask you to fix something for them. Anyone would be wary. The few people that didnāt immediately turn us down saw the spear and said āSorry, this is impossible to fixā.
I donāt blame them.
Just from a quick glance, I can tell this spear is completely done for.
I firmly believe that, regardless of the weapon or armor or whatnot, every blacksmith leaves a part of them in their creations.
Even Silver or Akaneās swords have emitted some sort of light at some point, as if proving that theyāre part of us.
But I canāt sense that energy in the spear. This trident is no more than a weapon.
ā We visited every possible place and we couldnāt find anyone. The spear is still broken. In a way, we came here to sightsee too. We wanted to give our fingers one last look at the sea before they disappear.
Mumuruu looked at Dike.
ā MmMM! mMmmmMMm!
ā This man was running his mouth with Letty. She might not be very powerful, but sheās one of the best-looking demons out there. He said something along the lines of āWe have a Level IX creator in our guild! Iām his friend, so weāre gonna get super rich!ā. He was trying way too hard.
ā Is that so, Dike?
I freed Dikeās mouth and his response was to look at me apologetically with puppy eyes.
ā Iām sorry, Takaya. I barely remember anything about it. Itās just been so long since a pretty woman has wanted to talk to meā¦
ā Come on, donāt be so rough on the little guy. Letty used some of her magic to dry the money out of his pockets anyways.
Then I guess we canāt really blame Dike. Besides, no one expects a demon to be lurking around here.
ā We thought he was just lying to get under Lettyās pants, but then he mentioned that the Level IX mage was being trained by the Sage of the Forest herself.
So Mumuruu came to the guild looking for her last hope.
ā I see. This is the first time Iāve had a human apprentice, I wanted to keep him a secret for a little longer. (Ever)
Ever bit her lips. She probably wanted to keep training me for longer before sending me out to the real deal, but now her course of action has changed.
ā And thatās why Iām here. Oh Illustrious Takaya, I beg of you, please take my request. Iām willing to pay any price necessary. And donāt worry, we wonāt spill the beans about you. Please! Save our fingers from being used as sausages!
ā Uhhā¦
If the fingers thing is true, I canāt just turn them down.
I never thought my first request would be fixing a demonic spear from someone as important as a demon ruler, especially considering how worthless I always thought I was.
I should not get involved with this. So many blacksmiths rejected them. Itās not something I can do.
