Expecting to Fall into Ruin, I Aim to Become a Blacksmith

I thought I'd see you this morning.

He flew a horse to the mountains and ran with a bow for the anti-beast on his back, one turn larger than the bow he always used.

Many bears emerge each year in the mountains near the settlement during the spring.

I expected it to come out this year, but I haven't met it yet.

Bears make good money.

Enjoy the hunt, and it will be gold.

Great prey for me.

When I saw my morning intuition come true, my body filled with joy.

It's really going to be a good day.

Shortly after entering the mountains, I found a bear the size of which I could hardly even see in normal years.

I don't think I've noticed this one yet.

Besides, it came with a woman who would have come to pick up mountain vegetables.

She's a dumb bitch to go into a mountain at a time like this.

I'm not even equipped with weapons.

The bear meets with the woman and still has the momentum to attack.

Cover the bow.

It's a mighty bow, finally able to pull two years ago.

No one in the settlement can pull this bow but me.

I'll tell you myself, I'm good enough to say I'm a bowman.

I took out a single arrow and squeezed the squeeze.

This arrow also has considerable weight.

He gazed at the position of the moving bear, releasing an arrow.

The air was broken and the sharp sounding arrow shot through the bear.

Just in the middle of both eyes.

I was right on target.

This will also benefit the bear this year.

The woman's life also took the form of help.

Thank you for saving your life, here you go. I'm hoping for developments like that, but now, what can I get you?

Are you okay, woman?

"Yeah, that helped. Thank you."

When I approached her, she was about the same age.

That's... cute.

I concentrated on the bear and didn't look closely at the woman.

If I knew you were so cute, I could have treated you a little nicer.

"What was your father teaching you to go into the mountains at a time like this?

"... my father was gone."

"Ugh."

Shit.

I didn't mean to, but would I have made you feel bad?

Well, she's a pretty girl, but I'll just say goodbye when I get my thanks.

"Bears come out in the surrounding mountains this time of year. You've heard a little bit about that, haven't you?

"No, I just came over recently."

I see.

"Maybe you're a student at Elenoir School?

"Yes, my name is Iris Parala"

What, was that little lady from the aristocratic school?

I should have helped.

But I'm gonna get you a lot of help.

I did help one Elenoir School student five years ago.

I did get 5 gold coins then.

This woman only has a cute portion, and she's worth a lot of help, like 10 gold coins.

"Look, I helped you. Ten gold coins is fine."

"What!? You can't pay extrajudicial amounts like that."

"If you can't pay, you can have something else. There's gems and stuff, right? Get it out of here."

"I don't have any jewels."

"Well, whatever's golden-eyed,"

He looked a little confused, but it was the mountain vegetables in his hand that were soothingly offered.

"I said it was golden-eyed..."

"I only have something to give you."

When I looked closely at the woman, the outfit was no different from that of the common man.

She also looks thin.

I don't have anything expensive or anything.

Besides, nobility picks up mountain vegetables!?

"What the hell, you"

It's Iris Parala.

"I heard that."

"What do you want to hear? If you don't want mountain vegetables, can I go now?

"Why are you taking mountain vegetables? That's what nobles eat."

"I am not a nobleman. I just came to pick it because I missed the mountain vegetables that my parents used to eat at home."

But just now, Eleanor School students...

"Even civilians can enroll"

What!? Really?

No, I really didn't.

As soon as I found out this woman was a civilian, my unpleasant feelings for why disappeared with Sue.

I turned again and looked at my face.

I knew it was a beautiful face.

"There are civilians in your noble school. Thank you so much."

"Really? That's a pretty good place."

"Is that true? Just imagining me makes me nauseous."

"Well, there's something I don't like, but there's lots of good things to do."

"Hmm, is that so"

When the conversation had one paragraph, I noticed how my stomach was feeling.

I'm bracketing two wild birds I shot at my horse this morning.

Let's bake that one and decide to eat it.

"I'm going to bake and eat wild birds now, are you there?

I have heard that aristocratic schools can eat lavish meals every day.

Anyway, this guy eats that every day.

Don't you want to eat wild birds?

Don't ask.

"... yes, I don't want it"

You see.

I tried to turn my back and walk away, but I looked at it unexpectedly.

... This guy's face, he ate it so bad. He's doing it!

This woman's face is a face that knows how delicious wild birds are!

"Really?"

"Ho, really"

"Wild birds this time of year are good with fat on them"

The woman didn't reply, but she heard someone swallow.

"Eat it, my face ate it. I'm doing it."

"What, you look like that!? Me."

"Oh. You know how delicious wild bird straight-fire grills are, don't you? I've got two, so eat one."

"Are you sure? Give it to me."

"It would have been out of the question if you were a nobleman, but I'd want to feed you with such a lean body. Come on, I'm gonna start a fire, so help me."

"Ugh, yeah!

The two of us caught fire handily and burned the birds.

The fragrant smell comes up.

Not having salt is the only remnant of my heart, but I can't help it.

"School meals are too salty for my tongue."

"That's a luxurious concern."

"Hehe, you're right. In the beginning, what a luxury! I was thrilled, but soon I missed my elegant meal at home."

"So you're a mountain vegetable."

"Yeah, and I can't believe you can eat wild birds. Ever since your father took it and fed it to me when I was little."

Ugh, your father's story is bad.

Speaking of which, you haven't heard the name yet.

"Abel. I have no family name. My parents were gone, and the settlers picked me up."

"Abel, that's a beautiful name."

Iris also has a bad face.

It's nothing to be sad about.

The bird burned up, so I gave one to Iris.

We both bumped into each other at the same time.

After all, yum!

"Yum!!

Iris clenched his bush and poked it up.

"That's a good mouth."

"Yeah, I'll never forget this flavor!

The two of us quickly flattened it.

"What do you do with that bear?

Concerned about the fallen bear, Iris asked.

"Carry it with everyone in the settlement later. It's tough on its own."

"Yes, Abel did."

"Don't you think, man, that's me?"

"Yeah, I think it's beautiful"

Whoa, I was honestly praised and just a little confused.

I rarely get praised by a beauty, or maybe I have no choice.

"Is Iris happy to be in such a aristocratic school?

"Yeah, I think I'm gonna have to work hard when I think about the future."

"The way you put it, it doesn't look fun right now."

"No, that's not true."

There was a lie in Iris' response.

I guess it's hard for civilians to live in aristocratic schools.

"Among the nobles there is one potun and one civilian. It's going to be discriminatory in your outfit."

"... right"

"Is something wrong?

I thought that would be okay if we didn't talk, but sometimes it's refreshing to talk.

I wanted to ask you if you needed anything.

"The kid next door to the dorm, he was friendly at first.

... but from the moment you found out I was a civilian, you stopped talking to me at all.

And then the other kids started avoiding me. "

Iris' words were clogged.

I thought you weren't supposed to ask, but I'm glad you did.

I knew what a bunch of nobles were like.

Damn, I'm kind of pissed off.

"You can quit like that"

"That's not going to happen. If you think about your family waiting in your hometown, you have to work hard, even on your own."

I've never tasted discrimination.

I guess Iris hasn't even had one yet.

Must be pretty heartbreaking right now.

I hate the aristocrats more and more.

"But, you know, we're not all like that."

"What do you mean?

"Some people in the world are weird, and no, I'm sorry if I said weird people"

"Hmm?"

"Who can call me a friend? He's a little different, but he's sweet."

"Hmm, what kind?

"A man. He's the next lord of Helanese territory. It's kind of different from the people at school."

"Don't you have a lower heart?

Iris is beautiful.

There will be as many men approaching with a lower heart.

"Maybe there are people like that.

But I don't think Kurli is such a person.

The people who gather around Kurli are people who feel similar to Kurli, and I'm sure they're a little strange for nobility. "

"Is that a compliment?

"Of course!"

Maybe that's what Iris said at the beginning, that there are good things to do.

Weird nobility...

"Speaking of which, speaking of strange aristocrats, you've also come to my settlement.

He was a big man. You bought a whole sheep. "

"Ah! I think that's Vine. Wasn't Kurli with you?

"No, you've only seen one."

"He said we both ate sheep looking like we were having fun. I wish I had followed you."

"If you want sheep, you can come to my settlement. You can always feed him."

"I'm sorry about that. More than that, I'd be happy to treat you to wild birds again."

"Sounds like you liked that one a lot. I'll show you how to get it if you like."

"Really?"

"Oh."

I had brought it, I lent Iris another little bow.

At first, I had a lot of trouble pulling the string, but the improvement since the string was pulled was amazing.

I was able to shoot right after noon without moving, and I was able to tailor the wild birds.

"Awesome talent. You're a genius since me, aren't you?

"Hehe, right?

I looked at this one wisely and laughed.

"I'll do that bow if you like."

"Yeah, that's bad."

"Well, I'll teach you how to make it"

"Then"

Sharpen the tree with a knife and take the shape of a bow.

I only taught Iris the procedure, but the procedure was very hired.

I think he's a really talented person.

Working hard kind of attracts people.

If you're not careful, your mind is going to suck in.

Before dusk, I had a fine bow.

After that, I need a shovel.

I'll finish that part in the settlement.

I promised to give it to him the next time I saw him.

Iris was so happy for me.

"Well, it's time to go home."

"Can you go home alone?

"Yeah."

Iris walks with the picked mountain vegetables in his hand and turns his back.

As I had a feeling this morning, it was a good day.

Looking at Iris' back also made me feel a little lonely.

"Iris!! Come whenever you don't like school!!

"Yeah! I'll be back!!

Iris' smile burns to his head.

The sunset looked beautiful for a while.
