The Only Daughter of Japan's Greatest Blacksmith, Blacksmithing in VRMMO

「Ah, that’s right!」

I take a certain thing out of my inventory.

「……」

「Um, Iris… I’m sorry…」

「……」

Iris is crossing her arms while hovering over my palms.

「I would like to ask for your help if possible…」

「……」

As I said this, Iris wordlessly leapt away from my palm and slashed at the nearest bloody Orc.

「Sei!! Yaa!! I hate Ayane!!!! You idiot!!!」

「Uuu…」

「Bu, Bumoo!?」

───Zan!! Gaaan!! Zupan!!

Iris fires a barrage of attacks while cursing me and changing the size of her Great Sword. The sudden change in size startled the Orcs, but they were able to defend themselves at least once. However, after that, they were unable to properly respond to the drastic changes in the size of the sword, and in no time at all, their lives were gone.

I can’t lose either… Iris telling me she didn’t like me was pretty heartbreaking, but it’s my fault… I’m sorry…

「Bumou!!」

「Buumooo!!」

──Buuun! Bububuuuun!!

「I’m not done yet!」

──Bashu!! Bashubashu!!

The dark projectiles were more numerous than before, but they could be cut down normally. It was more intense than the one against Chuou sometime ago. Well, that one was so much that I almost got a nosebleed…

「Bumo!!」

「Fu!」

──Bun!!

「Haa!!」

──Supan!!

I jumped at the same time as the gold club, which was swung right next to me, with good timing, and stepped on it, then jumped again. As such, I passed the Orc, turned around in mid-air, and slashed its head off.

「Bumoooo!!!!」

───Zuban!!

「Bumoo… oo…」

───Dosuuuun…

I landed and looked at the other Orc, and Iris was just about to finish it off. Huh? Come to think of it, Iris’s fighting ability hasn’t improved…? I think she was still weak in the previous battle…

「… Iris」

「…」

Unlike the look of loathing on her face earlier, Iris now has a big smile on her face. I can’t help but feel like I’m being set up, but if Iris is smiling, that’s okay…

「Ayane! I got your promise!? I’ll be outside forever!」

「Uu… T-That’s right, but you know… I’m worried… Iris might be kidnapped by someone」

「It’s okay, it’s okay!! That’s because I trained inside the inventory too!」

「Eh? In the inventory…?」

What exactly is the inventory…?

Having successfully made friends with Iris and learned a new mystery, we walked to the next level.
