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

Something big came up.

Me and Iris on the right hand side, enough to wrap our bodies together, super-dozen masses of flame.

What I imagined would be less than this tenth. But when I tried, nature and this size were coming out.

"Hey, I think I'm awake."

"It's true! I'm worried about the woods, Levell, not the cobolts!

Iris was too tempered and the level pronunciation was super good.

You know, I'm me, too, and I'm pretty tempered.

"Cobolt's here, too, and I think I'll bump this..."

"Are you okay? This big."

"There's no guarantee, I guess"

"Me, should I stay hidden?

"Behind the tree, then."

I hurried to make sure Iris was hiding, and threw a chunk of flame at the cobolt coming towards him.

Flew off in a straight orbit. It proceeds only at its own convenience as it blows away the blocking trees. And it started at the same time as it hit the ground.

Condensed magic begins and burns down the swarm of cobolts at once.

Shortly afterwards, a violent blast will be unleashed and a storm will strike where we were.

Fly in the wind to pebbles and tree branches.

I defended my face with my arm, but it hits my body of course. It was a good decision for Iris to hide.

The light created by the magic and the storm slowly stopped, and I lowered my arms.

Return your gaze to where the Kobolts were.

There were trees and the weeds that were growing there disappearing completely.

All that's left is black extinguishing coal.

If I looked from above, would it even look like a new kind of mystery circle that appeared in the woods?

I'm the one who did it, so it's not a mystery or anything.

Iris, who appeared a little, turns to a gaze that feels a little drawn.

"Something about the terrain…, it feels like you've only opened it here"

"Yeah, sounds pretty bad"

"I don't think so, but if they ask, the explanation sounds like a pain in the ass"

Sure. How can I put it? I woke up, so I did it a little bit! Then I know it won't make sense.

"Kurli, are you okay with your body or something? Haven't we got some kind of big recoil or something?

"I wonder if there's any recoil. But I'm getting a feeling like that just now. The increase in mysterious energy that was in my body also came to a halt."

"Really? I hope so. You can't live like that. The blacksmith is flying."

I'm sorry to make you worry about that.

"But if I still have about two shots of that earlier, I think I can hit it."

"It wasn't okay at all!?

Explaining that he had no fear of an outburst, he decided to head to collect Kobolt's demon stone.

Let's start with the first one I've finished.

I guess things were pretty good because Iris was nodding with a light glance.

Next, go to the area where the coal was extinguished.

I burned down the cobolt at once, but would the demon stone remain?

I'm a little worried...

There was still a collection of five red glowing stone-like things on the ground that were still slightly warm.

Perhaps this is the Demon Stone. When I pick it up, I do feel magical. That doesn't sound wrong.

It's just... Until now, the Demon Stone looked blue. That should be the hallmark of Kobolt's demonic stone, but this looks red. Did you do it...?

"Iris, these demon stones may be getting worse."

"Show me."

To give it to Dr. Iris and wait for the appraisal results.

Sometimes it's time. The desired amount is about the cost of dinner!

"This is..."

"This!?

"Like!

That's okay!? I thought it didn't work, that's okay!?

"Is it okay to be red?

"Yeah, it's totally subspecies, but this is something I can't take from a normal cobolt by nature. It seems that individuals who have survived for a long time and gained strength occasionally leave these demonic stones behind, but the Kobolts just now usually did..."

Yes, it's my fault.

"Don't look so sorry! It's a good thing. The buyout price is going to go up a lot."

"Oh, yeah. So, should we be happy here?

"That's right. I'm so happy to jump."

Well, I guess I'll fly......, or so I thought, but I stopped. It's embarrassing.

"Did you earn about the cost of the inn?

"I reckon, even if I make up for the inn, it's a huge black!

Whoa!? Then I knew I should have flown!?

I have a lot to think about awakening and going into the royal castle after this, but I am glad that I was able to achieve my immediate goal. Let's be honest and happy. You should be happy when you're happy.

Iris and I saw the Demon Stone once now, and once we were delighted, we heard footsteps from the east side of the forest.

regain alertness in an instant. I wonder if we've both come out a long way.

The amazing sensation I had felt earlier had disappeared.

We have to wait until we see who they are. With the sword firmly in place, the subject appeared.

It was a five-man group.

It's not a demon, it's apparently a fellow trader. I don't think we have too much experience with each other, but let me tell you something.

"Oh, you're such a nobleman."

……

Looks like they know me.

I honestly forgot, but it's probably the old man who gave me the whistle. It's hard to tell because they all look great and feel dirty. I'm sorry. If you want me to remember, I want you to dress weird or something.

He told me to blow a silver whistle and call for help when I was in danger, he's a sweet old man as long as I have the money.

"Look, you brought him a whistle in the bureau. Have you forgotten that already?

"No, I remember. You don't seem to need a whistle, so I'll give it back."

It would be made of silver and expensive, so I gave it back firmly. They could charge me weird later.

"Right. If you hadn't returned it, I would have tried to claim the cash later. Most nobles pay generously."

Did you really have that kind of soul guts? And he's an honest man everywhere. I don't hate it though.

"Come on, it's more about the whistle, you dropped a sucker around here. From what I've seen, that black spot seems to be the crime scene. Could it be that you guys did it?

……

Gaze with Iris.

He looked bimyo.

"... no"

"You're absolutely lying! Between now I know it's absolutely a lie."

"If it were us, would there be something?

"Well, for now, our extraordinary income is gone. I don't think there's any help from a guy like you who unleashes big magic. I'd rather ask a lot of favors from here."

"Is that all? Then I did it."

"Then what is it? Say that from the beginning. But, you know, there's talk that if you hurt too much forest, you get a fine. This forest is what the king's capital needs."

"Then it's not me"

"Hey!! What you're saying is lame!

I've already decided to leave this place because my old man is a pain in the ass.

"Iris, we're getting away."

"At the point where you're saying you're going away, you're all behind me!

I didn't feel good getting stuck in any more by the old man, so I pulled Iris' hand and walked out.

"Wait, wait. I need to tell you something delicious, why don't you bite one?

Delicious story?

"Yes, just give me a moment. Nothing. You burned the woods. I'm not going to tell anybody how. Just listen to me."

If that's the case, you can ask him. Because I love delicious stories and Iris.

"It's our day, and the first is to rescue you guys and thank you for your disappointment. The second is to mark the target demon. Try to do these two things to safety today."

You're the first party, so that's not a very comforting story to hear. How much the hell were you going to crash......

"I have this second plan, it's a pretty good story, and I asked if we could do this together. I was just planning on exploring a place today, but if you have someone as powerful as you, you can hunt."

"I don't think it's a dangerous story."

"The other guy must be tough because he's a crusade-designated demon, but you can expect a return. For God's sake, the sale of demonic stones, special rewards from the bureau, and even more so, a certain nobleman is putting on a huge bounty. The nobleman I helped last time, but he attacked me and I hear I'm still dreaming. That's why he asked me to crusade. It's a selfish request, but it doesn't taste good to us."

It does taste as good as I've heard.

But it must also be dangerous.

I asked for the exact amount, but it's still delicious.

Honestly, the rewards from that mysterious nobleman are enormous. Surprisingly. The boulder is the king's capital. Different scale.

I honestly don't mind either, but what about Iris?

If you peek into the face of Iris next door......, your eyes are shining.

He definitely wants to do it. If I agree, I would definitely be happy to agree.

If I disagree......, I'm afraid you'll probably follow me.

"If you can use magic that can smash the woods like this, you just have to cover me in the back. We'll keep the front line down."

That sounds even more delicious.

"Half the time, of course."

"No. I'm still having a lot of trouble back here. 7: 3."

"If it's 6: 4, can I ride it?"

"Well, that's fine, then."

That's how prestigious you were to compromise around making a small concession. I feel like I've been hit.

"Iris, for the record, okay?

"Of course!"

It was a pleasant promise. I knew it.

"You weren't named yet. I'm a hunter, Gardomira. In the industry, that's where the name goes."

"My name is Kurli Helan. Not much of a name in the House of Lords."

"Nice to meet you. I love the mighty. Is Helan from that neighboring land... And I think I've heard of Kurli..."

"You must be mistaken. I haven't been here in years."

"Really? Okay, then. All right, I'll show you around. Follow me back."

I was to join Gardmila in a row and follow them.

Their footsteps are familiar, they seem to be walking normally and are quite fast.

The wet spot goes along fine. I thought I was gaining experience with boulders.

"If you're hungry or something, tell me. I'll give it to you for a fee."

"I've got it, I'm fine."

Iris said it back. In fact, there is enough food. There was no way Iris was going to leave us alone.

"Your daughter is a civilian. Kind of boils of intimacy."

"I'm a civilian, but I feel a little different to be intimate with Mr. Gardmilla"

Sure. Iris, who gets intimate with the thin dirty guys, rides.

"Kurli is noble too, but I kind of feel more intimate than any other nobleman."

Me too!!

"Whoa, apparently it's where the target is, so I'm gonna take a little break in this place"

All the flavors left their luggage on the spot when Gardmilla instructed.

We'll do the same.

One of Gardomira's buddies seemed to be up in the meantime, exploring the target with monoculars.

"Gal, we're ahead of you."

I was really exploring it, and he found it. Is there such a way? You're surprisingly good.

"What's the distance?

"Three hundred and fifty meters."

That's close. Thinking about it, it was the closest choice we had.

"We can set up an operation, Kurli, you guys come too."

An operation... Um, I don't know what to do.

"You know what, I'll do it?

"Ah?"

"No, so I thought I'd do it. About 350 from here, right? Then I think I can do it. That would be safer and better, wouldn't it?

"... ah? No, I'm sorry, can you do that?

"I guess, but I think it'll arrive. I'm feeling so good right now."

"Ha, no, it's awesome. For the nobles. Fine, if you can do it, do it. If I'm stuck with this, I'll split the reward in half."

Seriously!?

I'll give you a suggestion.

"Kurli, maybe the big one just now, willing to use it again!?

"No, that doesn't earn me any extra distance, so I'm going to go because of something else"

"Are you okay? The woods..."

You're worried about the woods...

In the meantime, I've been tasked with the attack, and I'll check the target with my monoculars.

I did see it. I mean, it's so big.

I wonder if there are three meters. Muscles are buoyant, and obviously Aura is different from the Mobs. I'm extra afraid the weapon I'm holding on to was a piece of rock.

The feeling of not choosing that weapon is definitely proof of strength.

Climb the tallest tree nearby and check the target again.

I set a good track and activated the magic.

Pours out the massive amount of magic left over.

Shape bows and arrows with the power of magic.

When I condensed the magic, I could also touch my hands.

I caught an arrow in the bow's crotch and pulled it out of my mind.

Just before firing, only the arrow part turns into a powerful flame.

It's an arrow with a concentrated, intense heat. I'm not just sorry if I hit you.

Aim precisely, I let go of the arrow.

An arrow made of magic flies away.

It's my magic, so I came manipulating it while I was flying.

Accelerate, modify in millimeters if the orbit deviates.

Acceleration, acceleration, acceleration, ….

When he made several accelerations, the arrow had already pierced the target's head.

The arrows disappear deep as the momentum stays the same, choosing the ground.

Remote operation consumed a great deal of magic, but the purpose was achieved.

The target defeats the giant.

After a while, my body became foggy and only a giant demonic stone remained. Success.

"This is bullshit. I didn't know such a user was in the aristocracy... Besides, he's still young."

"I was just in special shape today"

While we were talking, a fellow Gardmila was already on his way to recover the demon stone.

It's a good thing you're stepping up.

"Kurli Helan... I'll remember you"

"Right. I'm gonna forget about you tomorrow."

"That's troublesome. If I had another delicious job, I might ask."

"Right. Then I guess I'll remember."

"Convenient. By the way, where's the inn? If it wasn't for your place, it would be easy to ask when you have business."

"Mm, royal castle."

"Ah?"

"Royal Castle"

"Royal City!?

Thus ended my first hunter experience with Iris.

Then we went through the woods, shared our rewards with the Gardmillas, and we went for the royal castle.
