I safely arrived at the town of 《Etherclan》.
Or perhaps, it was certain that I’d arrive 『Safely,』since the damage I received was zero.
Is there a point where those monster’s dirty blood won’t get on my clothes?
Somehow, I look like a scum Character…… .
…… Whatever. It’s just a scum.
「Hey! You!」
Two soldiers engulfed in heavy armor crossed their spears and stopped me from entering.
The town’s defenses sure are as strict as always……
「Suimasee~n♪ I came from 《Azerlaims》~/// And I was wondering if I can enter the tournament~? I think~♪ Teehee///」
「U…… . I- I see…… . Umu! Be careful participating!」
Men are so stupid, huh…… .
And saying 『Be careful』 is just wrong.
Even though I’m gonna fight….. .
I winked at the soldiers after they withdrew their spears as I entered the town.
「(Heey! Th-that girl…! She’s super cute right!?)」
「(Yeah, you think so too, huh! Kuuuu…! I wanna make a girl that cute my wife…!)」
I somehow hear whispers behind me but…
I’m a 『Boy』 inside.
◆◇◆◇
「Aah-, oh yeah. I need to go to the old man [Jii-san], huh……」
I remembered that there’s a small hut south of this large town, so I changed directions in order to go there.
In 『My First Time』, and  even during 『My Second Time』, a certain 『Blacksmith』 has taken care of me.
What’s more, he’s not an ordinary 『Blacksmith Old man』.
For some reason, he was once a brilliant one-handed sword master.
(The first time I heard about him, I wondered why 『One-handed sword』, because it’ll restrict the user but……)
After I cleared 『My First Time』, the Demon Lord dropped the 《Criminal Darkness》.  When I wondered which sword I should equip: the 『Yuusha Ken』or the 『Maou Ken』…
『Are you an idiot! Is it not better to use both swords?』
he said.
Why do I have 『Nitou Ryuu』 , the so called cheat like hidden skill?
I was taught it.
Yep, I was really taken care of.
Thanks to him, I can even silence a crying kid.
Konkon.(Cough, cough)
「Jii-sa-n? Are you here-?」
I selfishly opened the door and entered.
Hyu!
「Otto」
This again, huh.
A trump kunai attack.
An ordinary person would die from a single hit on the head by this.
During 『My First Time』,  I was splendidly stabbed, but I somehow was able to escape death…
Kuuu……
「Hou……? Dodging my kunai…… . You’re quite something」
Inside the room was a bearded Jii-san who’s back was turned.
He somehow looks like a descendant of the dwarf race.
But they’re now extinct in this world.
「Haa…… . You know, jii-san…… .Wouldn’t it be better if you stopped that attack-to-the-head meeting habit of yours?」
「Un? You’re one weird girl, huh. This is our first meeting right?」
Ah. A careless mistake.
「Mumu……? Is that sword in your belt a Japanese sword or……!」
While saying that, he left his work tools on the table, and ran up to me.
「A-, Uh-m-. Explaining would be hard…….. kya! H-hey! That tickles!」
The jijii is fiddling with the sword on my belt.
I said it tickles!
「Sto- ah- hey! Touching my butt in the confusion……! Kyahaha! Sto-, this is unreasonable……! I said it tickles!!!」
「Fuumu. This is the 《Maou no Ken》, no mistake! Where in the world did you get this……?」
「DAAAAA!!!  I-I understand! I-I’ll explain! Get….. get your hands off!!!」
I’m a ticklish persoooooooooooooon!!!!!!！
◆◇◆◇
「Haa-. That was so ticklish.」
I sat at the interior table of the hut while drinking tea.
Yep, I’m really beat. I give up.
「…… Is all of what you’ve said true? Ojou-san」
The Jiisan held a magnifying glass and the best Japanese sword above the table, examining it while listening.
「That Japanese sword is already the 『Proof』 right?」
「Mumuu. It is, but……」
This Jii-san can be trusted.
Already knowing that, I opened up to Jii-san.
「Even your level is the same. And what’s more, I haven’t instructed anyone in the 『Nitou Ryuu』, mastering it would mean……」
「Right? You won’t doubt me anymore, right?」
In this world, to let others see your level you have to open your stats window and set it to 『Show your current level to others ●/or not ○』.
During 『My Second Time』 I set it to  『Show your current level to others ○/or not ●』, so that others wouldn’t know my level.
Because it’s troublesome.
If I let my  sky high『LV. 99』show, then unknown people will come to challenge me in swarms.
「……So? You didn’t come to my place just to greet me, right?」
「Oh♪ As expected of Jii-san! Sharp as always」
「The compliments are sufficient. So? What do you want me to make?」
It’s always nice when the conversation flows fast.
「Something like a little fake, ne」
Suimasee~n♪ – this is like ” I’m sorry” but I don’t think putting I’m sorry here is good because this is like when Yamada changes body with Shiraishi from Yamajo
[Jii-san] – “Old man” this is the most common names for Blacksmith dudes. Source: Tateyuu
『Yuusha Ken』  – hero sword
『Maou Ken』 – demon lord sword
kunai – Naruto, you know the thing they throw? I think this is Sasuke’s thingy that he throws.
Ojou-san – Young lady
jijii – I think this is used to refer to perverted old man but I ain’t sure ’bout it.
