CH 491
The next morning, we were leaving Luitzar and heading for Orpha Country.
Before we left, Urka wanted to say hello to the guild, so we dropped by for a bit.
I think it was fortuitous that the guild staff knew where the ruins were that Yogus was visiting, so I was able to ask Gong to give a message to Veig-san.
Two more days and we would be entering the Orpha Country, so we had to decide whether to enter the town or make camp.
“I’m definitely camping out, you know?”
“Uwah!? What’s with you all of a sudden, Basleigh-sensei!?”
“What? Aren’t you trying to decide whether to go into town or hurry up and make camp?”
“Yes, but …… did I say that out loud ……? That’s what I’m talking about, but what do you think? Do you mind if we camp out?”
When I looked back at the carriage and asked about it, it was unanimously decided that we should hurry up.
“Isshishishi …… I’ve bought a lot of foodstuffs, too ……”
“You were planning to do that from the start ……”
Basleigh-sensei, who became a Regal, took out a bag of ingredients from nowhere and grinned, Reiss and Irumi, and Lilith all said that they wanted to eat my food. I thought women hate camping, but they are tough ……
Well, there’s no need to hurry. The sooner we camp, the sooner we can get to Arjan-san, which helps with the preparation time, whether you are attacking or defending.
And without any problems …… No, although there were many things that happened before we entered the border area and the town, we made it to Arjan-san’s house safely.
“There are so many customers coming and going.”
“It used to be so prosperous that there were lines of people waiting to get in. People said that his father’s generation was so great that his son was no good, but he showed us what he could do.”
I was thinking about how Luciela did a great job back then, and I was telling everyone how proud I was of her, and then Urka patted me on the back and said.
“But that might not have happened if Lars hadn’t come here. In that sense, I think there’s something special about Lars.”
“Hmm? I don’t think that’s the case, though. It’s a good thing that he prioritized making our equipment with Sarge’s materials, though.”
The skill are special, but I don’t think the existence itself is special …… I was originally born into a poor farming family, and Regal also said that this situation that I’m participating in was unexpected.
“…… Is that so? Aside from his Super Jack-of-all-Trades skill, he has the luck of driving me out, his success in various territories, and his past of being from another world. I don’t know how much Regal thought about it, but I think it was meant to be.”
“……”
Retzel said something like that and looked at Basleigh-sensei. Basleigh-sensei remained silent, lowered her shoulders and did not confirm or deny.
‘Now, now, what’s the use of talking now? Come on, someone’s coming.”
Lilith, who had a surprisingly sane sensibility, pointed to the destination where she saw a woman with a calm face coming towards us.
“Hello! It’s been a while.”
“Lars-kun, it’s good that you came to visit. Arjan is in the workshop.”
“I’m sorry to bother you.”
Arjan-san’s mother, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time, led us into the back of the room. It was about two years ago that I received a letter saying that Arjan-san had gotten married and had a child. I remember she wrote that she was very happy to have a grandchild.
“Hello, Arjan-san, it’s been a while!”
“Hmm? …… Ohhhh! It’s Lars! What, you should have told me if you’re coming!”
“I’m here on urgent business and an unreasonable request.”
“Hmm ……? Hey, you guys, I have to deal with an important client. I’m leaving you in charge here!”
” ” “Yes!” ” “
As the craftsman cheerfully replied, we were invited to Arjan-san’s house and met him in the living room. His wife brought us tea, and after taking a sip, Arjan-san opened his mouth.
“…… Fuh, so, what’s this urgent business? It’s unusual for you to ask for something. Is it something troublesome? Is Ryuuze and Luciela not here?”
“Actually–“
I told Arjan-san about our current situation, and told him that Ryuuze and the others were training in preparation for the battle, and that I wanted him to repair their equipment and make new weapons.
“You’re in a troublesome situation again, huh ……”
“Of course, I’m not asking you to do it for free. I don’t mind if you hurry up and give me a fair price. I’d appreciate it if you’d accept.”
When I lowered my head with a serious face, Arjan-san looked at the equipment and opened his mouth.
“Hmph, there’s no way I’m not going to do what you’re asking! Seriously, if you had told me at the beginning, I could have given you some good equipment. Urgent, fine. I’ll get it done as soon as possible. Can you wait a day?”
“What!? Can you fix all this equipment in one day?”
When Urka was surprised to see Ryuuze’s shattered and crushed armor in his hands, Arjan-san smirked.
“Of course. Who the hell do you think I am? …… It’s thanks to you that I’m able to do this. I’ll tell you the amount later, but let’s start with the repairs first.”
“Thank you! Oh, and can you help me with this too?”
I showed him the materials that the Burn Dragon had given me from my bag. Then Arjan-san asked me with wide eyes.
“O-Oi, is this a dragon material!? It’s got a slight heat to it ……”
“Yeah. It was given to me by a scorching hot dragon called the Burn Dragon. As a material for Ryuuze’s greatsword.”
“Hoh …… you’ve brought me some great stuff …… of course I’ll process it.”
“And there’s one more thing.”
“There’s another one? Hehe, you’re as interesting as ever.”
When Urka went out and came back, the skeleton Ogure-san was there with him.
“Uoooooh!? S-Skeleton!?”
“I’m sorry to startle you. I am Shingo Ogure. I heard that you are a famous blacksmith, so I have a favor to ask. Can I ask you to reforge this for me?”
“This is ……”
When he presented the sword in its scabbard, Arjan-san took it in fearfully, and when he pulled it out, his expression changed.
“This is from the island country ……”
“You could tell?”
“Yes, I was traveling around the world to follow in my father’s footsteps. At that time, I went to an island country once. It’s called Warrior’s Spirit.”
“That’s right, The katana is the very life of a samurai. Even when I died, I didn’t let go of that katana.”
“……”
Arjan-san stood up and went away with the sword. When he returned, I found that he had two katana now.
“It is impossible for me to reforge this guy now. To be honest, I don’t remember that casting technique. You’re going to help Lars and the others, aren’t you? So I’m leaving this in your hands, bone chief.”
“Whoa …… t-this is ……!?”
Ogure-san took it, and when he pulled it out a little, he shouted in astonishment. There was an inscription near the guard that we could see, but he seemed surprised to see it.
(T/N: The Tsuba, in english, is called the guard, it’s the round thing at the top of the grip at the katana.)
“It’s the katana of Murasa, the legendary master craftsman ……!?”
“It just so happened that the forge we stopped at was the same one. It’s the third or fourth generation now, I guess? But there’s no doubt about his skill. They gave me one of theirs to keep on display.”
“I, I definitely can’t accept this, you know!?”
“Don’t worry about it. The weapon will be happier if you use it. It would be better if there were no battles, but we need strength to protect ourselves. I would be happy if it could help.”
When Arjan-san smiled, Ogure-san stood up and bowed beautifully.
“Thank you, I’ll certainly protect them. This time ……”
“Hmm?”
“You’re so dependable!”
I think he said “this time” at the end, but I didn’t catch it because Urka was so excited. I wonder what he was doing before he became a skeleton? I’m sure he’s in this world because he has regrets, though ……
And I’d like to visit the island country someday, maybe I can get Sarge to take me there after the battle is over?
Before we left, Urka wanted to say hello to the guild, so we dropped by for a bit.
