125. King of Destruction
125. King of destruction
Nishia and I arrived at Area 2, and started looking for the park. The reason for the park is because Nishia said she wanted to rest a little. Sit side by side on a park bench. It was when she was listening to the birds chirping.
“To be honest, I was a little frustrated. What to say It looks like it could be caught, but it didn’t.”
“Alchemy is originally like that. The way to find a solution is always that way. You can think of it as the same as making a map.”
“A map?”
“Yes. It’s about going and checking every road you can. If you walk and walk like that and mark the path you have passed, one day you will arrive at the answer.”
The person who compared alchemy to drawing a map is Shaiza. When the loading window opens in , The tips of the game and the words left by the characters are posted at the bottom, and these are the phrases that were written there. It means that these are fundamental words that are perfect for Nicia.
“So don’t fret too much. If you don’t mind, can I watch the study?”
“If possible, I want to do it by myself. It doesn’t matter if you just watch over me.”
“Yes, I understand. Then I will do my own research behind you.”
“Would you like to work in my studio after a long time?”
Nishia smiles broadly as she says so. Nishia claps her hands as I nod her head. The act of clapping her hands is Nisia’s habit, and it means that she is in a good mood. Nishia must have cheered up too. He got up from her seat and helped her to her feet. It’s to see my business.
“Now, I won’t ask you to go anywhere.”
Nishia laughs as she talks like that. I took her to Reed’s house where she was the blacksmith. Dunrid kept the door firmly closed today as well. It looks like a house, but it’s a business, but it doesn’t really seem to have any intention of making money.
“Ah! You said it was business, so you came to pick up what you requested the other day?”
“Yes, that’s right. Let’s go to the store quickly with the business report. Since the competition season is over, I plan to reopen the store from tomorrow, so there must be a lot to prepare.”
I said that and opened the blacksmith’s door. I want to do my business quickly and go to the store. I left the tidying up to Sora, but it’s easier for me to check it myself. After entering the smithy and ringing the bell on the counter, the blacksmith Dunrid comes out. He yawns at his mouth.
“Welcome. Uh? A special guest has come.”
“Now that the form is done, what happened to the goods?”
“Ah, of course I made it perfectly.”
Dunrid said, and put the item wrapped in a leather bag on the shelf. I received the goods and untied the rope that tied the bundle.
“Huh? Is this a pickaxe?”
“Yes. I have some pickaxe work to do. It’s not just a pickaxe.”
Except for the iron parts, it’s a pickaxe made of World Tree wood. If it is a normal pickaxe quality, when you hit the ore, the impact will be transmitted to your body, making you tired and tired. However, with this item, even if I hit the ground with all my might, I won’t get tired too much. This is because it has the effect of reducing shock. Of course, it doesn’t completely reduce it. The reason is that other materials besides the world tree were included.
The wood of the World Tree itself wasn’t that durable, so I had to combine it with normal wood to make it.
“Well, about the additional payment… For the cost of the work, I decided to replace it with the tree you provided last time. For the pickaxe, as you said, I used enchanted iron ore. The cost… Hmm… “
“How much is it?”
“Um… big… “
“Dunrid?”
Dunrid lifts the wig he was wearing. As she removes her wig, Nishia widens her eyes in surprise. After looking at Nishia once, Dunrid said. After wiping his smooth hair with his handkerchief, he puts the wig back on.
“As long as the tree you gave me the other day… “
“Okay. I’ll bring it next time I come. By the way, will it work if I receive only those things?”
“Romance is more important than money.”
“Then let’s go for today. Come back sometime next week with your stuff.”
At my words, Reid rubs his hand and nods his head. When I put the pickaxe into the leather bag and try to go back, Nishia picks up the pickaxe and hugs it.
“Then, go back, senpai.”
“Nishia, I can listen.”
“What do I want to do? Leave it to me.”
Nishia smiled while saying that. After seeing this, the blacksmith Dunrid sighed deeply. Nishia jumps up and opens the door to the forge. Nishia seems to be in good shape today.
After coming out of the forge, we walked down the well-paved brick road, basking in the sun on a peaceful weekend. It’s all the more special because it’s the first time in a long time since I’ve been busy recently. As I was feeling this peaceful, someone hit me from behind. When I turned around to check, a child bumped into me.
“Hey, over there. Sorry. Sorry!”
The little child said that and bowed her head. Then Nishia, who was walking beside me, leans over to look at her child, she says.
“We are really sorry. My senior has blocked your way. Are you hurt anywhere?”
“Yes, it’s okay.”
“I see. Then, from now on, we have to be careful?”
“Yes!”
The child holds out her hands and nods her head. She is Nishia who smiles at the child like that. The scene that warms her heart naturally makes her smile. When she tried to send her child back like that.
“Are you okay there? Our boys… Woros-senpai, Nishia?”
“Uh, uh uh!? S, slop? Slop Arogas!”
Nishia widens her eyes and makes a surprised gesture as she watches her slopes. Nishia opened her mouth as if she was quite surprised. I was also quite surprised when I saw the slope.
Arisha Class 1st year chief. Slop Arogath was wearing a frilled apron with a bear on it, with a girl on his back. Two children follow behind him.
The children hide behind the legs of the slopes as if they are afraid of us.
“This… I wanted to keep this a secret. It’s a big deal, isn’t it?”

Slop Arogas says that and scratches the back of his head. The children who watched Slop also scratched the back of their heads after him.

“So you do volunteer work like this on weekends?”
“Yes. Seeing the children hurts my heart. Look at the reaction… It is a very surprising response.”
“To be honest, yes.”
I was enjoying tea time with Slop, who was said to be volunteering at an orphanage in District 2. Nishia is playing with her children, holding a magical horticultural flower, a round and round sunflower, that she has packed in her bag. Strop smiled brightly at Nishia. No, to be precise, she’s not Nishia, she’s laughing at the children laughing near her.
“By the way, senior, I saw it too, didn’t I? Seeing a senior win a tournament.”
“It is surprising that you came.”
“Actually, I was doing a part-time cleaning job.”
Saying that, Slop scratches the back of his head. I’d love to hear more about how Slop came to serve. In the original work, there is a mention of volunteering, but in reality, the motivation for volunteering or the appearance of volunteering are not shown.
Speaking of slope, no matter who Rin Ren chooses and what class she chooses, she is a key character with a huge amount and weight, so it’s all the more so.
“So, what motivated you to volunteer?”
“Are you asking that? What… It’s simple. I just feel sorry for them.”
“Are you sorry?”
Slop Arogas continues his words as he runs his fingers under his nose, as if embarrassed.
“These children are all orphans. They have no doubt that their parents will bring them. But where is this place? Isn’t it District 2 of the education district?”
“Yes. Then the children… “
“Yes. They are all children of adventurers. They are the children of adventurers who left their children behind before embarking on a mission. Those adventurers… I couldn’t come back.”
Strop narrowed his eyes as if his heart was hurting. Adventurers with children embark on dangerous missions to raise them. It is to make money. There are many port cities. But, no matter what anyone says, the safest place in the city with a port is Elana School District 2.
In order to leave the child in a safe place, he purposely visits from afar and gets on a boat. After completing the mission, the adventurer returns with money and takes the children. However, most of the children of adventurers who did not go on an expedition are abandoned like this and come to an orphanage when the money paid to the facility in the name of child protection runs out before their parents go on an expedition.
“I couldn’t help but watch, wasn’t it? I also have three younger siblings. Of course, blood is not mixed.”
“…… “
“We were all orphans. The mother who raised her is not her biological mother either. I grew up like that, so it wasn’t like other people’s work.”
This is the first setup I’ve heard of. Hearing this from him and seeing it again, a kind of respect arises. Slop Arogas has always lived hard. Whether in the original story or in reality, he never gave up. He polishes his skills and enters school with a huge benefit of full tuition waiver.
Talent is talent, but you must have worked hard. There are several illustrations of Slop’s past, but most of them are illustrations of him punching in a dirty back alley. He is a person who was born and raised in a slum where he does not know when his life will fly away. In such a worst situation, he took the top position as if to grow into a great wizard.
If he was pushed out of his senior position, benefits such as tuition exemption would of course disappear, so Slop did not stop training himself. In his spare time, he saves money by working part-time. That’s because if he doesn’t earn money, he’ll have to starve right away.
If you choose Arisha’s class in the original work and walk around during lunch, you can see her sitting on the water tap and looking up at the sky. Seeing her sitting by the water tap, the original players all expressed their doubts. Well, later it became a natural picture and no one expressed doubts.
If you work part-time, at least you won’t starve. However, there is no scene where Slope eats lunch. Maybe he has been living a hungry life, sending all the money he earned from his part-time job to his younger siblings and filling his lunch with water.
“Until what time is the slope volunteering today?”
“It’ll be over soon, isn’t it? Why?”
“After volunteering, come to my store. Come to think of it, I got a lot of help from you during the undead incident, but you didn’t treat me anything.”
After hearing my words, Slop stood up from his seat and shook his hand violently.
“No. It’s not something he said he was going to receive.”
“What are you talking about? We just share a meal that has already been prepared. You are Arisha’s chief. Network management is always important. Then we’ll go back and see you later.”
“What… If you say so, I understand.”
