In the corner of Polka, the construction of our house is progressing smoothly.
âGood. Youâre doing itâ
When I went to the site with a hot meat pie wrapped at the inn as a souvenir, the elves, led by blue clan´s Elmo, the carpenters, stopped and gathered around.
âPut it in. âŚâŚIts coldâ
âBut we canât afford to be complacent. Over there, the ogres in the south are building a fine building, but if we say we cant do it because its cold, its related to the ticket in the northern forestâ
âUha, deliciousâŚâŚI cant wait, whats the warm food in this cold skyâ
The elves carry the meat pie in their mouths and look blissful. As for the important houseâŚâŚwell, I understand that they´re doing their best on the sidelines. The first floor of the house has already been completed, perhaps inspired by the construction of Isaac and his teamâs barracks. At this point, you can see that itâs quite large. All that remains is the second floor, the roof and the interiorâŚâŚwell, we canât do it all at once like the Ogres.
âA free ogre or dwarf, would you like me to turn it?â
âThatâs a littleâŚâŚâ
âAside from the ogres, there are no dwarvesâ
The elves are reluctant. Well, canât we compromise so much that it doesnât go well? Jeanneâs strong and dexterous and sheâs strong in steady work, but sheâs a dwarf.
âIâve learned that theyâre good at hard work, but a job well done is a job well done. Iâve already had help carrying materials and clearing snow. âŚâŚIf I need any more help, it will be a matter of pride for the house ownerâ
âYou want to do the work youâve taken on yourself, donât you?â
ââŚâŚWell, thatâs trueâ
I do rely on Jackie-san, though. Conversely, it is because of Jackie-san that I rely on her and no matter how quick he is and how good he is at his job, I donât want to throw away my current work to someone else who is far away. âŚâŚI think thatâs how they see their work.
âIf weâre losing out on speed, weâd like to win them back with our delicate workmanship. Iâm sorry, just give me a little time, generalâ
âAh, once Iâve entrusted you with the job, Iâm counting on youâ
The territoriality and competitive spirit of a craftsman is pleasant when itâs in the right hands. Iâll leave Elmo and the others to their work, hoping theyâll do the same.
Then I proceeded with my own work. Jackie-san has already done the ironing, so Iâve been working on the engraving. Neias armor was starting to look more and more complete.
âArmor that completely wraps the small body of the hero NeiaâŚâŚIâm saying this, but itâs still a littleâŚâŚâ
âYes. âŚâŚThat hero will not be dulled in the slightest by wearing thisâ
I understand what Sharon says. Itâs true that the large area of ââdefense and the small height seem unbalanced. In the past, armor has required physical strength and size, especially in Trot, where men have been responsible for warfare and full body armor is rarely available for children who are not tall enough. If you donât have the strength, you wonât be able to move anyway. They use partial armor to lighten the weight and cover it up. A person with a physique like Neia is, to put it bluntly, a child soldier. On the other hand, this armored area has a strangely stretched and embarrassing impression, like a childâs tailcoat. I know itâs a prejudice. Me and Sharon.
âWell, I donât know how it feels, but letâs not do it. If you are a country blacksmith who is behind the times, let me tell you, it is uncomfortable for a woman to be using weapons and armor like thisâ
ââŚâŚTrot is that kind of place. As Jackie-san says, itâs certainly a matter of common senseâ
In the past, a woman wielding a weapon would have been ridiculous in some respects. However, if it actually becomes strong, I have to keep silent. Thatâs what Neia is all about, when you get right down to it. If you can use it, no matter how small you are, this armor is not a mismatch. Itâs a mismatch to try to impose old common sense.
âWell, if this armor ends up being really exaggeratedâŚâŚwill be the bestâ
âItâs best if you donât need it. No weapons, no armorâ
Sharon makes a little joke and laughs. If this ends up being unharmed. If Neia wouldnât have to wear it again, leaving it intact. Really, thereâs nothing better than that. Neia is strong. But just because sheâs strong doesnât mean she has to keep fighting. Not fighting. I canât help but hope that the time will come when that choice will be allowed, even as I make it.
âNya. Iâve got four beers and two snack sets for you, I´m sorry to have kept you waitingâ
âHey hey, Cute-chan, wait a minute. We havenât ordered anything yetâ
âThereâs only three of usâ
âYes, yes, Cute, thatâs probably table seven! Weâll take your order here.
âOh, Savory-chan, three beers for the time being. And assorted potatoesâ
âYes Yes. Please wait a momentâŞâ
In the new bar, Savory and the new cat girl Cute are running around among the crossbow men.
âIâm a little worriedâŚâŚâ
âWhy donât you also help Luna?â
âWhat should I doâŚâŚâ
Luna is worried about Cute. In the new, spacious tavern, 60 percent are young crossbowmen, 20 percent are young men from Polka (the old ones are drinking slowly in the old tavern) and the remaining 20 percent are forest elves and cat beastmen. Although it was still not easy to share a table and get along with each otherâŚâŚthose who were in the mood were starting to interact with each other. My table consisted of Luna, Almeida, Johnny, Keiron, Williams and I. âŚâŚIt was a natural gathering, but it had a rich international flavor to it.
âJohnny, what happened to your buddy?â
Keiron asks, munching on his fries and Johnny shrugs.
âHeâs on a date with his girlfriend. âŚâŚItâs just stargazing on the outskirts of town, though. Itâs nice and innocentâ
âHuuh. âŚâŚIn this cold weatherâ
âIâm sure itâs cold, but Keel doesnât have time for that. He created an atmosphere from the story of the stars, picked up her hand in the cold and sneaked into the hot springs or sneaked into a bed. Thatâs the kind of date we have at Polkaâ
âDoes Keel know much about the stars?â
âYes, he does. I mean, he couldnât miss it because itâs such a classicâŚâŚâ
âI see. I hope heâs doing wellâ
Johnny and Williams both snickered at Keironâs words.
ââŚâŚYou guys are so cold. I mean, jealousy master Williams aside, pray for your partnerâs success. And youâre married, Johnnyâ
âBecause it was Keel´s super temper. At best, heâll get a laugh out of itâ
Itâs Keel, Keel. Itâs not going to work out any faster than meâ
I think your desperate wishful thinking is very uncool, Williams.
âAndyâŚâŚwouldnât you do that?â
Almeida asks with a little hesitation.
âOr more preciselyâŚâŚIâm not a polka-dot kid in that senseâ
Iâve spent my youth in Trot´s capital and Celesta. I donât know the tradition of such a normal approach.
âIf you want to try it, Iâll go out with youâ
ââŚâŚI canât, because I donât have the slightest understanding of the starsâ
In a way, itâs frustrating that Keel has more popularity skills than I do. I mean.
ââŚâŚIf you think about it, itâs absolutely impossible for Almeida to have a star bud! You were over 100 years old!?â
Itâs just embarrassing no matter what you think.
âI, Itâs not that Iâm old, but it doesnât mean that I know everything about the starsâ
âOf course it doesâŚâŚâ
ââŚâŚDoes Almeida like that kind of romanticism too?â
âSurprisingâŚâŚI hate you for saying itâŚâŚâ
Ugu. âŚâŚIs it a little mean.
âIt just sounds like youâre mopingâ
When Luna sledges, the other three at the table nod all at once.
âI think Andy should dieâ
âItâs too bad he didnât get stabbedâ
âAfter all this time, why are you so popularâ
Even if such a thing is said. âŚâŚI donât really understand why.
âIf itâs for personal reasons, I can tell youâ
ââŚâŚS, Should I tell you?â
âSorry, donât say it, both of youâ
Sex! Itâs a bit of a problem even if itâs said. Itâs a public place.
âWhy is Almeida-san so into Andy? Itâs rather strangeâ
Williams and Johnny are biting. I would appreciate it if you would stop.
ââŚâŚAs a cat beast, I really feel the power of a male from himâŚâŚI mean, he has a sense of responsibilityâ
âItâs pretty much the sameâ
Almeida also turns red and nods.
âYouâre not a beastman, are you, Almeida-san?â
Williams and Johnny insisted. I tried to stop them, but Williams put me in a choke hold. I was flabbergasted.
ââŚâŚItâs really similar in general. He treats me as a little girlâŚâŚa ridiculous man. But heâs certainly weak, but sometimes he feels that muchâŚâŚthat there are times when the black dragon Laila is convinced even if itâs a dropâ
âAre you really that great?â
âL, Let me, Let me go first!â
Itâs nice to lift it, but itâs itchy. And when Almeida, who was found out by Hilda-san as ăI lost to the cock and was made a messă, said such a thing, I can not help personally. Thatâs not the point, is it? And there.
âMaa, the great thing about Andy-kun is that he doesnât lose momentum like those membersââ
Hilda-san, who had a good amount of alcohol, came into the conversation while placing a ceramic cup on the table. Where did she hear that from?
âI wonât lose momentumâŚâŚâ
âWhat do you mean, Hilda-sensei?â
âBecause youâre always going to commit even to Laila and Dianne, isnât it an advantage? And usually, if five or six girls come in a crazy way, why donât you make me a toy? Andy-kun, youâre a great boy who can take on dozens of girls and always feel like ăHave sexă, not just ăPlay aroundăâ
Hilda-san speaks the truth. Please, donât talk about obscenity so openly. I thought.
ââŚâŚSeriously, Smithson?â
ââŚâŚAs one would expect, it might be amazingâ
For some reason, Williams and Johnny were convinced.
I was at a loss for a response.
âI have a single wife, butâŚâŚshe can be a bit of a pain in the ass sometimesâŚâŚâ
âEveryone is holding down that face in bedâŚâŚno, donât be afraid of itâ
âYou guys have a strange impression!â
The table creates a subtle atmosphere.
âWellâŚâŚits Smithson, who has been reminiscing about ăThatăfor a long timeâ
âWhat do you mean with that? Andy, what were you talking about?â
âWhenever Smithson gets drunk, he always talks about how he and Selenium got togetherâ
âThatâs Apple-san, right?â
My colleagues mentioned my former drinking habits. The female slaves listen with great interest.
âIt was my fault! Whatâs with the hanging!â
