10. Legendary Past (2)

Hoya couldn’t help but be surprised to see the items that came out while helping Dantals clean up.

“……”

Hoya picked up a claw.

it was uniq

This time he picked up a sword.

it was uniq

It would not be wrong to see that Legendary is also showing up occasionally.

Normally, it is normal to not see item information to Hoya.

However, he was able to check the item information to see if it was applied like the items sold because it was a blacksmith’s house.

Even the set price written below.

…I have a headache, so I decided to erase the price from my head.

Dantals, who was storing these items as if they were piling up rubbish, felt great in many ways.

As I repeated the removal of the equipment, a small table, decoration cabinet, and props appeared below it.

In the corner of my head, I thought it was a warehouse, but it wasn’t a warehouse, it was just an ordinary room.

The weight of the equipment was also the weight and the quantity was the quantity, so it was quite a heavy labor to organize.

However, it was quite fun to see the things being discovered as they were excavated under the equipment.

From clothes that looked like work clothes to ordinary mugs, everything was out of the ordinary.

Why are the blacksmith signs there?

“Oh, it was here.”

“Uh, Dantals, if you don’t use this, can’t you give it to me? The one I used at home just broke.”

“Yeah.”

It seemed that Hoya was not the only one enjoying such fun.

Not only Dantals, but also Krauss, who was grumbling, were tidying up as if they were on a treasure hunt.

“This…….”

The treasure Hoya unearthed this time was a frame the size of a human head.

On the frame was a picture of Dantals and a human boy who appeared to be in his mid-teens.

Strangely, I felt as if I had seen the face of a human boy somewhere.

“Ummm…”

“What are you doing?”

As Hoya struggled to recall the memories in his head, Dan Thals came up, shaking his hand.

Seeing the picture frame in Hoya’s hand, Dantals smiled broadly.

“It was here!”

“Who’s that pictured there?””My son. His name is Vandal.”

“Yes?”

Hearing Dantals’ words, I looked back at the boy pictured in the frame and saw a half-moon face.

It seemed that when this boy grew up and grew old, he would become just like a half moon.

The craftsman’s prediction that the blood of a dwarf must have been mixed was correct.

Vandal is the son of Dantals, so I felt that the world was very small.

“Because my wife was human…”

Dantals has been answering Hoya’s question as to whether his son took it as a question about having a human-like appearance.

Dantals, who answered Hoya, carefully brushed off the dust on the frame and fell into reminiscence.

* * *

The legendary blacksmith Dantals, the fact that he was the best blacksmith became a fact that everyone acknowledged.

And after being recognized by everyone, the curves in his Dwarf life disappeared.

He was no longer able to break the forge, which he had been doing because of his youthful ambition.

Beating his hammer was exciting and fun for his aptitude, but it felt like his life had become too flat.

So, while he was living his usual life as a dwarf without any ups and downs, a twist suddenly came to his dwarf life without any notice.

He had never felt the emotion of love before, and a woman appeared who showed him what love was.

She was just a passerby passing by her side of the road, but as soon as she passed her, her head turned toward her.

When she turned her head to look at her, she turned her head to look at herself, just like her own, and her eyes met.

I wondered if this is what it’s like to fall in love at first sight.

I thought that if I lost that woman, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

But with no natural cause for her to approach her, as Dan Thals was rolling her feet inside her, a few days later she came to his smithy as her guest.

And as time went on, the relationship between the customer and the blacksmith became that of a friend and a lover.

In the end, they promised each other a future and entered into a relationship.

However, she was born with a very weak body, so it was a great burden on her body to receive multiple gazes towards the legendary blacksmith Dan Thals.

So Dan Thals cleared her blacksmith’s for her and built a new house and workshop in the woods next to a small town a little far from where she lives.

As time passed after she started living in the forest, a new family was formed in her body.

Having a new family was a good thing to be blessed with, but bad things also came along with it.

Dan Thals’ wife, who was born weak, could not bear the aftermath of her childbirth and died before her own son, her half-moon, could even walk.

Dan Thals felt a great emptiness and sadness at the departure of her wife, but she endured it by raising her half moon.

Growing up only in the hands of her crude father, Vandal was stubborn, but she grew up without a big fuss.

“Father, I’m going to be that wizard!”

“……what?”

One day while I was with Vandal, he suddenly brought up the story that Vandal would become a wizard.

She suddenly wondered if this sounded like some kind of steer.

Dan Thals wanted Vandal to succeed him and become a blacksmith, so he was initially against it.

However, the stubborn Vandal learned magic from a wizard who was staying in the village for a while despite Dantals’ opposition.

Even after he left the village, he practiced the magic he had taught him diligently.

At first, Dantals, who was against it, saw Vandal’s efforts and wanted to push him from behind.

After much deliberation, Dantals decided to make a staff for Vandal.

He did get some good stuff for it, but he had one problem.

It was that the half moon was not too talented in magic.

If you use these materials as they are, you will get a good wand, but Vandal will not be able to use it.

So, Dantals took out ‘Danthaltium’, an original ore he made, which is still in the testing stage.

Later, it was completed by borrowing the power of the legendary wizard Moan and changed its name to Moantaltium, but that is a distant future that Dantals now does not know.

“Come on, take it.”

“Father, this is…”

“Once you do, do whatever you want.”

Seeing Vandal rejoicing after receiving the staff, Dantals felt better as well.

He seemed to have decided well to push the half-moon dream.

Nearly two years passed after that, and I heard the news that the wizard who taught Vandal had returned to the village.

Then suddenly Vandal brought up the story that he wanted to go hunting monsters with them.

“That’s not enough. I can’t allow it.”

“Father, I’m begging you. Don’t worry too much.”

Vandal persistently persuaded him against Dantals’ objection.

In the end, Dantals, who had been defeated by Vandal’s persuasion, gave permission, and Vandal went out to hunt monsters with the wizard’s party.

After that, time passed and Van Moon did not return home even though all the scheduled dates had passed.

At first, he didn’t worry too much, but after a week, Dantals couldn’t wait for the half moon and headed to the village to find the whereabouts of him and the wizard’s party.

“If that’s the case, he came back a few days ago and is still staying at the inn over there.”

Upon hearing this, Dantals thought that Vandal would be with them in the inn.

‘Aren’t you coming home after coming back?’

He headed to the inn, thinking that he had to give the half moon a lot of soul.

Just then, in the restaurant on the first floor of the inn, the wizard’s party was talking.

But the half moon was not there.

And why is that wizard holding the staff that he made for Vandal?

The reason was found out through their conversation.

“Is that so good?”

“Of course. I never imagined that such a kid would be holding such an object. It was an unexpected income.”

“He still looks a little young, don’t you feel guilty about it?”

“Because you carry a weapon that doesn’t fit your level, that’s how you end up. It’s all self-inflicted. Besides, what are you guys hanging out with with a guy like this without guilt?”

“Because we don’t feel guilty either? Hahaha!”

At that moment, Dantals felt as if something was falling apart inside him.

When he came to his senses, he had organized all the wizard’s party members and made only the wizard almost in a state of kneading.

“👅, ugh…””Where is my son?”

“Hey, what’s that all of a sudden…”

“Don’t even think about taking it off!”

Dantals used his force to figure out what he had done to Vandal.

The whole time I listened to the story coming out of the wizard’s mouth, my teeth broke.

Having obtained all the information to be obtained, Dantals handed the innkeeper the cost of repairing what he had destroyed and went straight to the place in the story to find the traces of the half moon.

As Dantals followed the river, he searched the area diligently, but the only trace he found was a pair of half-moon shoes hanging from a stone beak.

regrets have come

When Vandal asked for permission, he shouldn’t have.

He should not have been swayed by persuasion and should have grabbed the half moon by force.

He should have known in advance what kind of people the half moon was going with.

By the time you felt regret, it was too late.

* * *

“all…….”

“……”

“Danthals?”

“Huh? Uh huh.”

Dantals, who had been engrossed in reminiscences, was awakened by Hoya’s voice.

I think I was bruising too much.

Hoya asked Dantals, who was starting to organize again.

“Then, when you go out of town, do you go to see your son?”

“No, I’m going to go get the ingredients.”

I don’t have a son I’m going to visit anymore….

A sad smile hung on Dantals’ face as he answered Hoya’s question.

The question that Hoya spat out casually stabbed Dantals in the chest.

He still had regrets and regrets in Dan Thals’ mind that he should have treated him a little better while his son was still alive.

‘Something happened.’

Hearing Dantals’s expression and his answer, Hoya thought that there was some kind of trouble between the two of them.

So, I thought that the answer was ‘no’ by cutting it off so decisively, and I judged that Dantals’s expression was so sad.

I don’t know which one’s fault caused the trouble, but I thought it would be good for both of them to solve it quickly.

“Maybe it’s just meddling, but if something happened between the two of you, wouldn’t it be better to solve it quickly?”

“…I want to solve it, but I can’t.”

Now that his son is dead, he wanted to clear up the misunderstanding, but he couldn’t.

The sadness engraved in Dantals’ eyes grew slightly.

At that time, Dan Thals’ eyes, which had been engraved with sadness because of Hoya’s words, grew as large as his fist.

“But wouldn’t it be good to give it a try? Although Vandal lives in the royal studio, he occasionally goes to restaurants, so if you come in advance, you will be able to meet naturally.”

“……what?”
