110. Training (3)
It was a bright day. I explained to Sora her part about her 2nd greenhouse, and asked her to never enter her. That’s why if Sora enters the hot greenhouse 2, a really big problem can happen. After that, I went to work at her store after listening to the lecture.
“Nishia, you came early today.”
“The lecture ended early. Even the seniors know the atmosphere of the Shaiza class during the exam period.”
Nishia says so, and she wipes the empty absorption stone with her handkerchief. Shaiza’s exam period is a very free atmosphere. There are students who have given up on their studies altogether and are obsessed with competitions and trades, and there are students who are against it.
Because it is a class with such an atmosphere, most of the lectures during the exam period are self-study, and students who want additional classes will receive supplementary lectures. Looking at Shaiza’s classroom during the exam period, it is spectacle.
You can see someone studying hard, someone kneading clay, and another analyzing potions with an alchemy kit. In such an atmosphere, the professors know that it is not easy to teach, and they know that Shaiza’s geeks are not students who will listen to them in words, so it naturally became self-study.
“So I sneaked out during class. It’s boring, so you have to be patient.”
“Is that so? I was thinking of talking to Nishia and Denas-senpai when they come, but I think the shop will be closed during the exam period.”
“Yes?”
Nishia and Denas are the proud heads of Shaiza. Shop work is important, but maintaining the chief is also very important. I’m also aiming for the second seat, so I want to put my heart and soul into the test.
In addition, the business has been going well lately, so I’ve saved quite a bit of money. He even received a reward for his performance during the Melgard dormitory freezing incident.
“I won’t do business, but I will keep the store open. Let’s gather together and use it as a study area.”
“That was it. Great! I agree.”
“Let’s finalize the work after Denas-senpai arrives.”
After about 30 minutes passed like that.
“Okay. I want to do my best to prepare for the competition.”
Denas Yeseul said that and affirmed it. So she agreed not to do business during the exam period. Just then, Sotia Sonia came to the store.
“Is Sotia here?”
“Yes. Senior, I came to study together. Of course, I also like to practice.”
“Yes, I came here well. I was thinking of meeting you because of that.”
“You mean me?”
Sotia sat in her own private chair, which had come to her mind. By the way, not only Sotia, but also El Denia’s exclusive seat is reserved for her.
“I plan to visit Master Ansink. Do you have any thoughts on going with me?”
“Yes! Of course. Wherever seniors go. No… I really want to follow him to improve my personal skills.”
“Good. I decided to take a break from business, so let’s go see you right away.”
Let me tell you that. Nishia grabs my collar and shakes it.
“It seems that senior Woros has neglected me lately.”
“What are you talking about?”
“I mean. I want to meet Mr. Ansync too. You know, I’ve never seen one before, have I?”
“Hmm. Shouldn’t you be preparing for the exam too?”
“Work, etc. It’s unconditional work. I bet you.”
Nishia said so and hoped she would go with me. I was thinking of introducing Master to the people in the store. But.
“I will stay with Sora-sama. The pieces are almost finished, so I want to finish them.”
“Sure. I’ll do my business and come back soon.”
“Yes!”
When Denas Yeseul answered, Sharon, the owl of Denas who was being held by Sora, tilted her head. After petting Sharon, I came out of her store.
“Nishia. But it can be boring.”
“I’m going to make an absorption stone from behind, so it’s okay. Are you sparring with Sotia anyway?”
“It could be. How is Sotia?”
“Yes. It is an honour.”
Sotia looks at me and smiles. We entered District 2 while chatting like that.
“What? Aren’t you going straight to senior Ansync?”
“There is a place to stop.”
I said that and showed the bag I was carrying. Seeing my bag, Sotia and Nishia tilt their heads. We walked in the opposite direction from Ansink’s house and arrived at a shabby building. A lot of wooden pillars were erected in front of the building, and strings were connected between the pillars. The strap has leather hanging down on it. And in the corner of the building stood an old anvil and a whetstone.
“mmm, the scent of craftsmen. Does this look like a forge?”
“That is correct. It’s still an unknown blacksmith, but as far as I know, it’s the house of the most powerful people. In addition to being a blacksmith, he is an all-rounder who also makes magical engineering and accessories.”
After answering Nishia’s question, I knocked on the door. But no response. Nervously pushed the door and entered.
“Who is this? Come on.”
“Why did you close the door when you were here? So, no money.”
“Even if I leave the door open anyway, normal customers won’t come here.”
The hostess smiles while saying that. He gets up and holds out his hand to me. I shook hands with him without hesitation.
“Umm, by the way, you’re in the back… “
“Take care of your expression. They are my acquaintances, not guests.”
“Ah. Hmm… Are you looking for something?”
Let me nod. Dunrid, the owner of the old smithy, moves to his place with the words to wait. Taking something out of the display case, he places it on the table.
With a brown shield. Belt. And it was a bag.
“Isn’t it that the work went well because the ingredients were good?”
“Thank you for your hard work. The quality looks great too.”
When Dunrid and I were talking about that. Nishia and Sotia examine the items on the table carefully.
“You remember me and Denas-senpai picking off the centipede’s skin, right? Made of it The belt is mine. The shield is Sotia. The bag is Nishia. It was made for you guys.”
At my remark, Sotia looks at me and her shield in disbelief with blank eyes. Nishia, on the other hand, smiles broadly, carries her bag on her side, and tries her various poses.
“Seo, senior, this is… “
“I got help from you. I made it with a lot of shells. It is a shield made from the shell of a giant centipede, so it is light and has excellent defense. In order to keep up with Irina’s speed, you’ll need a light and strong shield.”
“That… Thank you.”
Sotia bows her head to greet her, then raises her shield and hugs her tightly.
“I will treasure it for the rest of my life.”
“Use it the consumable way. I made equipment to protect you, not equipment to protect you.”
“I will keep that in mind.”
Sotia bows her head. Then she examines the shield carefully. For Sotia, who enjoys playing shields, the shield is densely embedded with small iron, using a tough and highly defensive centipede shell as a base. It won’t come out as powerful as the existing steel shield, but it will be more powerful than nothing.
She looked at the delighted Sotia and smiled, then she looked at Nishia. She’s wearing her cross-body bag, stretching her arms and turning around, making sure her body moves comfortably.
“Nishia, in your case, you carry an absorption stone with magic power. You’ve complained to me a few times. The bag was not left due to a magical power leak.”
“Right. It was really uncomfortable.”
“The centipede’s shell absorbs mana to some extent and has the property of enduring it. Even if a magical energy leak occurs inside the bag, the bag will not be damaged. In addition, there is no way that the contents will be damaged by a tolerable shock.”
After Nishia heard me, she clapped her hands, then she put down her glasses that had been placed across her forehead and stretched out her arms to draw her V-jabs.
“Does it look good on you?”
“It suits you.”
“Thank you. I will write well!”
Working centipede skin gloves and a carving knife that I requested as a present for Denas-senpai. The ring case made to present to Sora was pre-worked and Denas Yeseul took it.
“Is the belt your senior? What devices are there?”
At Nishia’s question, I put her belt around my waist, opened the bag, and took out a straight flask containing a potion.
“Look carefully.”
Then I inserted the flask into the groove on the side of the belt.
“You can put up to six potions this way. Since the shell protects the potion, it can be protected from impact, and in case of emergency, you can immediately remove the potion and use it. Plus, it’s made to hang up to two small bags.”
I opened the big bag, tied the small bag I was using and the newly purchased bag to my belt, and put the potion on the belt. With this, the preparation is complete.
“mmm, do you like it?”
“As expected. Thank you for making such a great piece of equipment.”
“What am I? It was nice to be able to use the rare shell. If… Also, if you have any rare ingredients, feel free to come and find them.”
“There are things I brought with me.”
“What? Also, are there any more? Ah… Still, the centipede’s skin makes my eyes so high that I’m confident I won’t be surprised with tolerable materials.”
Dunrid said and scratched the back of his head. I said while smiling at him.
“It is more than a centipede shell.”
“What? What… Oh, I don’t believe… Uh?”
I turned the bag upside down and spilled the branches on the table. Dunrid picks up a branch and narrows his eyes. For reference, the branches were picked from the alter ego of the World Tree growing in the 2nd greenhouse.
“This… Where else can you get this stuff… “
“There is something I want you to make with this.”
“Of course… Dae-geum-eun, just like last time… “
“Of course, take whatever is left. Of course, I will pay extra.”

Dunrid swallowed his saliva at my words. In the world of , The number of blacksmiths and blacksmith NPCs used by Rin-Len, the main character, is approaching double digits.
But among the many blacksmiths, rare materials from the bodies of cryptids. There is no technician other than Dunreed who knows how to handle legendary ingredients that are few and far between in the game. He is just an anonymous blacksmith because he has no will to do business. When he goes out into the world in earnest, he will be called a blacksmith recognized by everyone.
If I inherit Shaiza’s name and go out into the world, I plan to recruit Dunrid as my exclusive blacksmith. If I seduce him with all the rare materials I get, he will surely come over.
In addition, Dunrid’s power is also needed when making magic equipment using , A skill I acquired, so it would be good to have a good impression in advance.
“So, what would you like to make?”
Rubbing his hands together, he smiled at Doon Reed who asked that question, then told him what he was asking for.
