The Strongest Wingless Gargoyle

Eight days have passed since Cliff left the castle.

There are still no disturbing signs, and the recent raid on the Ark Demon is as peaceful as a lie.

The sight in front of you makes it feel strong.

"Ko, is this okay, Luminaria"

"No, here's how to hold a knife"

I'm in the castle cooking room right now.

Technically, I'm in front of the entrance door so I can peek inside, but I hope you don't mind.

This cooking room is set up in a different place than serving food to the average soldier, on the top floor of the castle, and no one is watching.

The dishes usually lined up in front of Kleife and Liese are made here.

Rutherfam and Luminaria, who use the time no one uses after breakfast to rent out the room and stand side by side in front of the kitchen table.

"Here, here?

"I'm not, here's the thing..."

Luminaria puts her hands on her father's fingers and teaches her how to hold the knife correctly.

Rutherfam follows Luminaria's instructions and cuts the vegetables prepared for practice in a struggling motion.

I'm kind of worried about the two of them and peeking.

Luminaria...... apron looks great.

I'm going to be a good wife.

Rutherfam, who lived alone on the summit of the mountain, but could barely do his chores.

When it comes to cooking, it doesn't matter what the flavor is, you can tell me anything you put in your mouth.

When you're going to live with your wife again, as before, you can't just keep an eye on yourself, leaving everything to your chores and stuff.

Rutherfam is trying his best to do what he can.

"... be careful not to cut your fingers off"

"It's okay."

Tell Luminaria so Razapham can reassure her.

Well, I don't think me or Razapham's body would be scratched with such a blade.

"My body is not so yawdy as to be scratched by a knife"

"Don't say anything like Mr. Alberto anymore. Because that's not the problem..."

Damn, the thought circuit is being read.

It sounds to me in person...

Oh, is that so easy to understand?

"At first, it's okay to slow down, precisely. I don't think it's going to be easy before you get used to it."

"Okay."

The luminaria I teach my father seems somewhere fun.

I thought I'd speak up... but don't.

It's a bad idea to interrupt parent-child interaction.

Well... and what am I going to do today?

Reading broke the lounge, and I'm not in the mood.

Reese is still at work today.

Lasafam and Luminaria are as they were earlier.

... Hmm, then.

"Ooh, how are you?

"............... are you here again?

Go to the Dwarves as well as the other day.

When you get home, say hello to your wife Andro, who just came out of the inside.

He was about to go out now.

Yadri says he's already started working in the workshop, so he's headed there.

From the workshop you can hear the sound of pounding on cancun and iron.

Inside there was a serious face and a figure of Yadri moving the hammer in constant rhythm.

It creates exactly the same atmosphere as a first-class craftsman, and I don't think he's the same person as the man who was grounded before.

"… wait a moment"

Don't disturb your concentration, wait until you've set it apart and then call out.

Hey, Yadri.

"... hmm? You're here again? Is that a continuation of the previous story?

"No, that's enough. Thank you for that verse."

"Hmm, I wish I could have helped"

……

Honestly, it's subtle if it helped, but you took the time out on purpose, so let's shut up.

"So you came all the way out here to thank me"

"No... wow, I'm here because I'm free"

"Yes, you said it... I have a job to do too"

And while I'm telling you, Yadri will get rid of the tools and give you space to sit down.

Don't make me unholy, I appreciate it.

"I've been really busy lately. There are a number of jobs coming up in connection with the upcoming festival. It's time to make money, and my wife's strained."

"When you make money...... in fact, do blacksmiths make money?

"That depends on your arm, and I think it's pinky. If it's a famous guy's work, that's all quality is guaranteed and traded for a high price. Well... if you get too famous, there can be fakes out there. Whatever the money, you'll get all kinds of materials, you can make the workshop bigger, you'll get all the good equipment, and you'll have a good job coming around."

"Hmm."

"There's also a contest at the festival for artisans' arms. It's divided into accessories, weapons, protective equipment, and various departments, and if you get good grades there, you'll know the name. Compete for performance and design against a given theme... I'm going to compete too. If you win, the great man in the castle will be able to get you a job directly."

"Heh..."

This year marks the fifth centenary of the city of Menardo.

A festival will be held to commemorate it.

I only hear from Liese for once, but what kind of holding thing will take place?

It sounds interesting just to look around though.

It's a rare opportunity, and you might want to take an active part.

"... I'll try it too"

"Dude..."

What are you talking about? Ignore Yadri, who said so, and I'll make it right for now.

What if I think of it?

Soil magic to produce a suitable form of stone for the palm.

Like viscous organisms, unignon and shape-changing mystones.

With my own magic, it's a little disgusting to watch... oh, my God.

Though it would be a stone of two shapes in the world.

"Craftsman, don't lick me... look, I don't even know how to use tools. To an amateur... what the fuck?!

"... Am I?

I am stunned to see the stone that Yadri has completed by my magic.

Hey, what's this reaction?

Even though it's the right stone I created in Nori on the spot.

"Hey, lend me some sole!

"Oh, wow."

"... Shh, shh, shh! I'm sorry. Here."

Even if they call me in, I don't know what's great about this.

But they didn't to Yadri.

Stone shapes are also difficult to put into words.

If you still strongly describe it, should you also say stones with several tentacles stretched out of the square stones falling there?

"Duh, how can I make something like this?

Dear surprise... what if I've opened up a new future for the blacksmiths?

Yadri is staring at my work seriously.

I seem to have coincidentally created something extraordinary.

"Hehe, whatever, I don't mind if you exhibit that."

"No, I think you're gonna drop a hundred percent."

"Yeah?"

"You made it. I don't know what it is. It's amateur work."

Oh, that? My predictions are off.

It's a little embarrassing.

"... well, well, then what are you surprised about?

"It's technology! How can you make such a complicated shape in just a few dozen seconds!

"That's... you just saw that, right? A little stone with dirt magic..."

"Is magic so free to determine form?

"Come on, don't lick my dirt magic."

I'm best at water magic, but even dirt shouldn't beat those guys.

"Yadri's a dwarf, too, so you can use dirt magic, right?

"Yes, no... I can use dirt magic though"

"Get the hang of magic control and you'll be able to do this much. The other day... uh, I think Raza could do something similar?

"... come on, could it be me, it's left over from the times?

You can't hide the shock in my statement.

Probably just something wrong with the samples I extracted.

Me and that guy are on the same level as the Demon King.

And sadly, we're the ones left over from the times.

"Alberto, can you magically make a stone statue or something?

"It would be possible, but I guess I wouldn't be able to do it without practicing quite enough. Think about it... can you write a person or landscape painting well because you know how to use a brush? I don't know how to get the schematics."

"If you ask me... but still awesome"

An exclamation leaks from Yadri.

"I'm retracting what I just said, with that magic technique, I think I can make something interesting. If you really want to participate, you can use our tools."

"Oh, that won't help."

Because of this, and maybe you can think of something.

Well, he's an amateur, and he won't be able to do complicated things in the manufacturing process.

"... by the way, Yadri"

"What's up?

Think about the festival later, I'll see what's in the corner of the workshop.

There were several items of equipment that looked expensive to see, such as shiny silver armor and swords in a luxurious sheath.

It's an existential piece of equipment, and I've been curious since I got here today, so I'll ask.

I couldn't cut it out when I came in because it looked like Yadri was concentrating on his job.

"Oh, Soytz is a special piece of equipment. I was asked to take care of it a while ago. The mud on my armor was stubborn and I had a hard time dropping it."

"... mud?

Yadri nods at my confirmation.

The armor has a finish that I don't think was muddy.

It's a beautiful thing with no scratches, and my face looks reflexed.

"... can I touch it?"

When you see something beautiful, you want to touch it.

"Excuse me for keeping this for once."

"Okay, sweetheart."

I'm a little concerned, but I don't have a choice.

I can't let them imitate you betraying your customers' trust.

Even so, you're an armor that makes me want to taint you asexually watching.

... should it be called demonic armor?

"They're gonna use it for tomorrow's Kraken crusade request, they're gonna pick it up at night."

Kraken, or Luminaria was talking the other day.

If so, is Luminaria not in the castle from tomorrow?

"The owner is Lior... the elf mercenary."

"Chi, that's him..."

Is that what the visionary and polluting impulses I was somehow feeling?

That wasn't long before I met Gin.

When the two of us were sailing to gather our allies in the guild, he suddenly appeared from behind and insulted me.

I've been called to work by various guys lately, but I don't mean to, but I'll leave them first.

What happened then is firmly engraved in my memory.

It wasn't a fight thanks to Gin's entry into arbitration......

No, that's when Gin was painting mud balls into his armor from behind.

"What, you know him?

"Oh, a little before"

Well, does he join the Kraken crusade?

I hope that bastard doesn't bother Luminaria.

"The lior wants to rot in his sexual roots, and he's a bastard who doesn't like it."

"... so much"

"Oh... he's the enemy of the world."

"Yes, you scaled it up all at once"

Well, I feel bad about talking about Liol all the time.

Let's keep it around here.

As the two of us chatted afterwards, the bell rang between Karan Karan and the workshop entrance.

Apparently, a visitor has arrived.

Yadri stands up and heads for the door.

"Oi, Yadori, are you there?"

"... this voice is no way"

When I opened the door, I heard a nostalgic voice.

Wait a minute, it was my partner in this city who came into the workshop.

"... Oh, that? Brother?"

Sahaggin with a trident on his back.

"... Gin!
