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

An obituary came in in the morning while waiting for someone important.

"Boss, Grandpa Dead has passed away. I heard you smiled for the first time. He said thank you to you."

"Right. Let's wish you luck. What do you do with dead people here?

"Until now, I've had new recruits fill it up properly."

"Let's create a joint cemetery in a newly created space in the east area. This is also a shared job. Also, to be officially named 'Dead Grandpa Hot Springs' for hot springs. That's his feat."

"Yes, I'll tell everyone!!

Is it my fault that the surrounding people have been icky lately?

What did Grandpa Dead do to get into this underground prison? I don't know by now, but that last face we bathed together didn't seem very prisoner's. Good old man, that's what it looked like... Live a decent life in the next life.

"Boss, I brought you two Gardmila and Saisin!

All of a sudden, the two of them were called, and there was a lot of suspicion surrounding them. It was as if I was guessing their presence mattered to me.

"Are we going to be killed?

Gardmila can't hide her upset on the boulder.

"Oh, probably not."

"Money Geba" has a face with his stomach bracketed.

"I wouldn't do anything like that. I've never given such an order."

"Right...... I thought you were an awesome one, but I knew you were an awesome one. In two weeks, I'll have complete control of this hell of a prison. In a place full of crooks like this."

"Fine. You know what I want to hear, right?

You conveyed what it was like to be just a little irritated, and you're both sweating like after you move your body, even inside a dry space.

"... from me, okay?

Looks like Gardomira will talk.

"Go ahead."

"I think it's bad for you. Besides, I don't want to prove my innocence, but I'll tell you the truth. I don't know if you can believe me."

"Come on, talk to me."

You've been surrounded by so many disfigured people, I don't think he'll be able to talk to the boulders, but I don't want him to bear it. I'm here because of what they did.

"I am, I was put here for slaughtering my fellow hunters. With the sword you gave me. That's what's going on, but I didn't do it. I was forced to confess to being manipulated by that sword to slaughter a colleague, and I was tortured for three days. I had no choice..."

"What about the truth?

"Of course my heart is not manipulated. You denied it at first, but you got terrible eyes until you said you were manipulated, didn't you? The truth is, when I walked into my coworker's room, my coworker had already been slashed in the back. As soon as I held my fallen colleague, I broke through the door and a guard slipped in and I was caught. Me and you were totally set up."

"Have you been fitted..."

"I'm sorry. But I didn't want to testify..."

If you've even been tortured, you can't help it. Everything is to fit me in... What a handful.

"So you're saying the boss is here for the crime of innocence!?

If I do, I'll admire it. The surroundings are hot. Well, calm down.

"" Money Geva, "I want to hear about you, too. You killed an important apprentice, didn't you?

……

It feels like I'm not willing to talk. Is that why you were bracketing your stomach?

"Boss, I'll let you talk."

"No, fine. I have no ability to manipulate people into my sword. I know that. What I want to know is why I slaughtered my apprentice. I hear you have a lot of eyewitnesses."

……

Silence unchanged.

"He's not willing to talk. Mr. Gardmilla, if you're truly innocent, you'll get out someday. I'm gonna prove my innocence and get out of here."

"Really? I appreciate that. Please come up again."

"Right. Shall I wish you home once?" Money Geva, "I should have the right to ask why you acted. Most importantly, I'm here because of your testimony. Enough about being caught. It's going to be important. Me and you, if you want to start over..."

In the end he didn't say anything after that, and left the room to be taken away by the surroundings of the strong side. If you don't feel like talking, that's fine. Just hit the other one.

In the afternoon, work on the production of the joint cemetery progressed. I don't know, it seems there were many people who appreciated Grandpa Dead. The cemetery I could make was qualitative, but it wouldn't have been the kind of person who wanted a flashy place. Rest in peace......

Again, a bath after a job is great.

I wanted to be alone and took a bath in the middle of the night when everyone was asleep.

A little warm water just right for this dead land. The moon looks beautiful today.

Chapon and water made noises and waves.

Beside, there was "Money Geba". Has he come to grab some late water, too?

"Good water."

"Right. It's so comfortable that it doesn't change anything from outside."

"I'm only so dissatisfied that I can't blacksmith"

"That's quite a big dissatisfaction. each other."

There's so much I want to ask, but I can't help it if you can't talk to me.

Shall we give priority to relaxing and enjoying the water? Because there is a moon without clouds.

"Why are you putting a grave in a prison like this? There's nothing you can do about it here, like me."

"... better than not"

"Is that what it is? It was hell when I came, but since I became the new boss, I've been able to live a comfortable life. I appreciate it."

"I don't need anything else to thank you for. It's the result of everyone working. I couldn't dig up this hot spring by myself."

"You're always objective. I don't even know how awesome I am."

"I didn't do anything amazing. I'm just doing what I can."

"... I need to talk to you about something. I don't know what I'm going to do with you."

"Hmm? I'll ask, I feel good."

Even though "Money Geba" hesitated over and over again, he finally began to speak with determination. Talk about the sword I asked for, about the truth he was hesitating to tell.

"The sword you struck was perfect. I thought they'd pull it out one day, but I didn't think they'd pull it out in a day. No way...... right? Who would think that? It's been a day!? I'm kidding!

... I'm sorry about something. I'm so sorry.

"I couldn't admit it. I couldn't have admitted it. It comes down to what my four years were like to be shown such a perfect thing."

...... I don't have any words to return.

"I ran away from reality. I decided not to see your sword. I erased it from my heart. But when my apprentice... was alone, he told me. It is impossible to reach this realm. No doubt Kurli Helan is the best craftsman, that's what I told him. That's when my own uncontrollable anger exploded. I slaughtered my disciple with that sword I had. It was really so angry that there was nothing I could do about it.... you're a fiercely jealous one. I rode the sweet, dark invitation of the Darthanelle family to hide its shameful heart. I made an excuse for your sword to manipulate my heart. To hide my jealousy. Fortunately my apprentice was saved... but I have made mistakes over and over again"

"... Was it"

"Your sword was perfect. You can even look up. When I get out of here, I want you to aim up more. I want you to show me where you've arrived one day, too. I'm not going to get out yet..."

"It's good to hear the truth. From now on, I will try to be more confident in my arms. Then this might not happen again"

"You don't have to think about that. This is totally my fault. This is the result of the weakness of the mind. All you have to do is go straight up."

I think I could wash away all sorts of things in today's bath.

That seemed to be the same for 'Money Geba', who looked refreshed for a long time.

"Looks like I'll be working fine from tomorrow."

His words sounded quite comfortable.

No more anger or deception against him. I found my innocence.

Now I can finally fight the Dartanelles, too. Well, let's not take a long bath.
