âI hope itâs easy to call out that Laila is thereâ
After about 20 minutes of going down to the city, Dianne and Jeanne were waiting.
âWell, thatâs why I was able to get ahead with peace of mindâŚâŚ nevertheless I canât admire that just because Iâm freeâ
âI, Is that so?â
Dianne moves her ears lightly. The point of her line of sight is my bosom. âŚâŚCrossbow stock.
âWere you listening?â
âThatâs right. Well, I just realized it in the atmosphere of conversation. âŚâŚI could have waited for a while, but I was meanâ
Dianne with a dignified but mischievous smile. Twirling a weird whistle with a string on her finger.
âThat is?â
âItâs a dog whistle. It makes a sound that only some beastmen and elves can hear. Is it a real dog?â
âAnd dragons. Itâs a chilling soundâ
âI was wondering if I could make a mistake in hearing if I sent a signal with this. Recently, I was disciplined by Lailaâ
âDonât say discipline. I hope Iâve got used to it in advance.â
Itâs steadily agreed to that kind of thing in a place I donât know aboutâŚâŚwell, but Iâm a little left behind and lonely.
âMost of the time, my ears can hear you if you called in a normal voice at this distanceâ
âIt would be suspicious to call out to nothing. Even dark elves are rare in Trotâ
âŚâŚIf you think so, isnât it a bad idea to have a whistle that you canât hear?
âIf they talk to Jeanne, they will not be suspiciousâ
âDonât complain about a little sideshow. Now, the Metal Guild is located near the west square of the townâ
âAs soon as I asked an old man around there, he told meâ
Dianne and Jeanne lead the way and walk out. Even if the dark elf is an eye-catcher as a heterogeneous race, there is no doubt that the super beautiful women Dianne and Laila and the beautiful girl Jeanne are notable. The attention of the men who go to the city and their line of sight to me who is with them like ăWhy is this shabby man?ă is a little painful. âŚâŚNo, even if I canât help being shabby, Iâm glad because they are my girlfriends and female slaves, right? Nuhahaha, be envious. Iâm sorry I got a little tune.
âYes, mischief again! Itâs always this because there is no teacher!â
I heard an angry voice behind me, so when I looked back, a knight appeared before I knew it and I was wandering around. âŚâŚEars. A wolf beast man.
âDianne. In Trot, there are few elves, but there are beastmenâŚâŚâ
âThatâs right. Well, letâs refrain from the next time except in an emergencyâ
Dianne, who was paying attention to him like me, looked at the dog whistle somewhat awkwardly.
-
The building of the Metal Guild (in short, the blacksmithâs union) is easy to find. It wasnât something to hide and there was a splendid signboard.
âExcuse me. Iâve heard that iron for armor is hereâ
When Dianne called out to a middle-aged father who was near the entrance, he looked really stinky.
âYoung lady, this isnât a beautiful weapon or armor part, itâs just a rugged ingot. You´re not wrong going inâ
âI need a rugged ingot and a whole tanned leatherâ
âYou canât do that as a young lady. You donât know the beginning and the end. I canât smell the burning smell of a blacksmithâŚâŚâ
Apparently he is wondering because Dianne doesnât look like a blacksmith.
âIâm sorry, Iâm the one who actually uses itâŚâŚâ
As I gently raised my hand and interrupted, the middle-aged man approached me with a more stinky face.
âYou? âŚâŚArmor smithing isnât a sword. Isnât flashy silverwork the most you can do?â
ââŚâŚN, No, I once trained at Shreedo´s workshop in the royal capitalâŚâŚI ran away with a hunchâ
I mean, this old man is simply incredible. Itâs a perfect hit, maybe it was just crafted.
âHaa, no matter how much Master Shreedo, this disciple ran away. Why do you bring girls and a child?â
âWhat, you donât care so much about myself or Dianne. Itâs either to sell or not to sellâ
Laila speaks frustratedly. Iâm in trouble if Iâm told not to sell. Jeanne cut in with an angry face.
âFrom a human perspective, weâre a girl and a child, but itâs not the attitude of a person who sells things. Isnât it polite to hit the iron in this city?â
âWhatâ
The old man puts his hand on Jeanneâs head. He thought she was a child and tried to punish her. But before Laila and Dianne try to stop the move, Jeanne takes the hand of the middle-aged man, squeezes it and twists it down.
âAdadadaaâŚâŚwh, what a hell!?â
âDonât carelessly touch a womanâs headâ
âThat accentâŚâŚMiss, dwarf?â
âWhat if?â
ââŚâŚTsk, it was bad. Itâs not great enough to price a dwarfâ
Blacksmiths, not just Trot, have a close reverence for the dwarf race. Heat resistance, strength, dexterity and sensitivity beyond common sense to the state of metal. In many ways, the nature that is too enviable for a blacksmith makes the dwarf race itself feel as if a warrior would see an Ace Knight. As a race, when it comes to hitting iron, itâs ăDifferentă from the beginning. âŚâŚIâm going to know a little bit, but it was a scene that made me think that a real blacksmith would react like this. No matter how much you say dwarves, Jeanne is a woman and a child. Even if you deduct it, she still says, ăItâs a surprise that a human blacksmith would give an opinion to a dwarfă.
âThe sale is in the back. Hey youngster, fine, given to the dwarfâs connoisseurâ
âHaaâŚâŚâ
The middle-aged man begins to lead the large guild lobby, whirling his twisted arms.
As expected, all the good things were available. Well, in fact, the blacksmiths in this town, including that middle-aged man, have a strict eye on the good and bad of things.
âDonât hesitate. What kind of armor do you hit?â
âThis time, all three of them have the kind of armor we made for Anzeros, but each one has a different styleâŚâŚif you force it, Neia will be heavier and Sharon will be lighterâ
âAnzerosâs armor. Thatâs mostly reinforced with rare metals, right?â
âOriginally, I canât say that Iâm going to go over to Jackie-san for rare metals or anything like thatâŚâŚitâs not cheap here eitherâ
âIf you ask Jii-chan, heâll turn it around for a few rare metals, butâŚâŚwell, for the time being, itâs this and this. Iâll leave the leather for the binder to youâ
Jeanne chooses a few ingots based on criteria I donât understand and throws them into a cart. The cart bounces. I realize that Jeanneâs strength is incomparable to mineâŚâŚ
âHou, why donât you bring this? I canât beat a dwarfâ
The middle-aged man was impressed with the choice with a bitter smile. After all it seems to be the correct answer.
âI canât imitate only iron-related thingsâ
âEverything is boring in Lailaâs unrivaled sphere of activity. That said, donât be impressedâ
Dianne and Laila are completely on the sidelines. I have all the fine ingredients other than ingots. If itâs true, thatâs where you have to go to a wholesaler, but itâs a guild in a big city. It is placed in an assortment of items that can be reached in itchy places.
The ingredients are ready. The price was well paid within a reasonable range. Or rather, considering the quality, it would have been quite cheap.
âI also bought a souvenirâŚâŚah, I forgot Narisâ
âIt will be dawn when I come back from now. Itâs a bit of a force march, but thereâs no point in doing that. Letâs wait for Naris to finish sightseeing and go home tomorrowâ
âHo. I donât care. Iâm not in trouble if I fly a little without restâ
âOccasionally, you should drink alcohol other than ăGreat Ice fieldăand ăStormy Whaleăâ
âAh, thatâs right, Dianne. Do you want to take a look at Isaac and others?â
âOkay, okay. âŚâŚJust because itâs a big Trot city after a long time, Iâm too excitedâ
Dianne sighs. Well, I canât deny that aspect. Polka is comfortable to live in, but it can be boring in winter and in the elf territory, itâs easy to get into some strange trouble. Celesta and Renfangas are a little culturally dry or rough and a little tiring. Thatâs the right part of the city of Trot. Donât say countryside people. âŚâŚWell, if I go back to Polka with an ingot from now on, Iâll have to concentrate on blacksmithing and reading elf language textbooks for a while. I want to take a break.
So let Laila search where Naris is.
âItâs really difficult to hear the footsteps, so I canât tell if that little girl isnât speaking somewhereâŚâŚâ
The hearing of a dragon is not invincible either. She didnât seem to catch Naris right away. Well, itâs true that she has to speak and because sheâs an elf, sheâs still narrow in this southern Trot city. Itâs not unclear that you canât just go out in front of people and talk fluently. âŚâŚBut we are also quite noticeable. Unlike Naris, if you call yourself ăCelestaâs special forceă, you can silence the military police, the lordâs private army, and even little thugs. No, isnât Naris lagging behind a little bit?
âOh, isnât it a dark elf? This is a city where the bumpkin of Celesta can wander aroundâŚâŚâ
Immediately, a clumsy thug calls out to Dianne. Dianne ignores.
âHey, stopâ
I stop him trying to reach for Dianne.
âStop it. This person is a soldierâ
âSo, Soldier? Thatâs whyâ
âSkills are so strong that a normal ogre canât be an opponent and she also uses magic. Besides it doesnât matter if Celesta retaliatesâ
ââŚâŚTsk. Shake your tailâ
âIâm doing wellâ
I make the thug give up while acting friendly. Laila and Jeanne laughed when they saw it.
âKind, ownerâ
âEven if you give it a shot, itâs okayâ
âLetâs go to peace, you guys tooâŚâŚâ
And when Iâm doing it, Laila looks a little strange.
ââŚâŚMu. I heard Narisâs voiceâŚâŚâ
âWhich wayâ
ââŚâŚOver there. Noisy. Something is happeningâ
ââââââââââââ
âThatâs why! Iâm dead anymore! Letâs stop!â
âNoisy Iâm going to kill you!â
âIs this an elf woman? Alone at the bar. Is it gang-rape?â
âI donât really feel like that, but I donât think itâs a murderer!â
âŚâŚUwaa. For some reason, in the middle of the bar, it broke into a quarrel between drunk people. What an annoying scene.
âLaila. Will we suppress it?â
âHo. Good luckâ
Our two strengths are suddenly ready for battle, but I stop it.
âItâs no good. If you go wild, you will be taken care of by the military police. Itâs no good because the rest will be troublesomeâ
Besides, for the time being, the city was very helpful this time. Even though there is a cause, it seems that giving a bad impression to foreigners is a gratitude and it is hard to wake up.
âThen what are you going to do, Andy?â
âItâs a drunken quarrel anyway. Just add another water and it will settleâ
âDo you want to call the military police first? But if you donât do it quickly, theyâll reach out to Narisâ
A duo of a tall muscular guy who seems to be very strong and a quick-looking thug. The one who is about to be killed is a man with a thin line. Well maybe a craftsman or a business person. Thereâs no big reason for a drunken quarrel. Tomorrow they will forget each otherâs faces beautifully. But now we have to stop this momentum. If Laila and Dianne are flashy, it would be bad for the elves and the Celestians to help them. Jeanneâs strength will stop them, but itâs unclear if things will go well. I canât do anything with my strength. I probably lose even to the smaller one. But. If you want to mix the places back, somehow.
âHey, Naris!â
âEhâ
I enter the bar, calling out loud to Naris. The drunk people also look suspicious at the sudden intruder.
âWhat are you doing?â
âIs that elf womanâs companion?â
âNo, itâs a friend, or somethingâŚâŚâ
Make me laugh with a pitiful face that seems to be flirting on purpose.
âGirlfriend, that gang-rape or something like that is a bit of a problem, isnât it?â
âGirlfriend?â
âGirlfriend?â
âHaâŚâŚha!?â
Drunk people with strange ăNo wayă faces. The one who is most surprised is Naris. Yeah shut up. âŚâŚIn this Trot, itâs almost incomprehensible that an elf is a girlfriend. Especially in the southern part of the Trot. By appealing it, attention is directed to me rather than Naris herself.
âWhat are you talking aboutâŚâŚâ
âAre you okay with your headâŚâŚ?â
But I wonder how the reaction is.
âBecause look, she is a beautiful woman, right?â
âBut she is an elf, heyâ
âIsnât it like a person who marries a donkey?â
âUwa, I got hurt! Iâm really hurt now!?â
âShut up, Naris. In other words, they can go to donkeys when they try to gang-rape youâŚâŚno noâ
â!!â
â!?â
The two drunks look away as if they drank something bad. âŚâŚYup. Sometimes there are people who arenât popular. Donkeys are in good shape. Yup.
âWell, it might be a donkey for the older brothers, right?â
ââŚâŚTh, Thisâ
âHey Malone, letâs goâ
As the eyes of the bar gather, they try to leave. The military police ran over here and Laila (who looks like the most ordinary person if it has only racial characteristics) pointed at them, ăThey are the ones who were fightingă and used it instantly. The tense atmosphere of the bar completely returns to its original state.
âLook, Naris, leave that person to the store. Letâs goâ
âE, wa, waitâŚâŚâ
I pull Naris. A whistle is heard from behind and Naris turns bright red.
ââŚâŚWasnât there any other way to fit it in?â
âDonât worryâ
*Beshi*, I chop on Narisâs head.
âWhaâŚâŚwhy are you hitting me, Iâm just trying to stop an overkill quarrelâŚâŚâ
âThatâs great, but youâre the one whoâs going to be bad when itâs a fight
Gentiles are a loss. Responsibility for each trouble is usually placed on the other person.
ââŚâŚMuuâ
âDonât be like that. Elves havenât been so well accepted here yetâ
ââŚâŚSo, rather than making an elf swordsman a bad guy, did you make the tea muddy because of the strangeness of an elf-loving person?â
Naris says sullen. âŚâŚDo you know that?
âItâs true that I donât hate youâ
âI think that follow up is wrongâ
As I said, Naris took my arm and hugged me towards the exit of the bar.
âWaaâ
ââŚâŚYes, yes, thank you for protecting me, my boyfriendâ
âI donât know how to say that I did something extraâ
âI donât think thatâs the case, but itâs a step furtherâ
âStep?â
âNo, itâs just a matter of how you do itâ
Gyuu, Naris hugging my arm. After all, I wonder if their eyes to see ăForeign creaturesă were a little scary. Then, the whistling that chilled us rang again and Dianne and others laughed bitterly.
âWell, itâs Andyâ
âHoho. In many ways.â
âWhat is it? What do you want to say?â
âYouâre a lady-killerâ
âI, I donât know how to say it!â
