75 – 25. Do you think it’s possible?

The size of the forge was rather mediocre.

It was cramped inside, but everything seemed to be there.

The 3rd floor, which also serves as the village residential area, is located on the outskirts of the village.

“Are you a guest?”

“Yes.”

Kariel asked, handing over her sword with her own scabbard.

“Can you fix it?”

“Hmm.”

A middle-aged man managed to pull a bent sword out of her scabbard.

Burned skin with burn scars.

In spite of the overall skinny look with his short hair, his body with strong muscles showed that he had a strong will that did not allow even the slightest bit of laziness.

“Do you want to pull it out again, or do you want it to be held only when it is bent.”

“… Which would you prefer?”

“It’s my own mind.”

Because sometimes there are things that I can’t fix, so I’m going to have a good time.

“If you want to use it, it would be better to get a new one. If it’s just for the purpose of giving meaning… It’s not difficult to spread out. Although it may not be used for actual combat, it can be used for training, but that’s it.”

“… ….”

Unexpectedly meticulous.

Unlike the obstinate eyes, the explanation is detailed as well.

“Then I can’t help it. If you can’t use it for actual combat, there’s no reason to carry it around.”

“I see.”

A middle-aged man with a convinced look on his face, putting his sword to one side.

“Come back in two days. Pay in advance.”

I paid the price and looked around the inside for a while, but I didn’t see any weapons that could be used right away, although some tools were visible.

“Are you making it after receiving an order or request first?”

“Yes.”

In the middle of the building next to the smithy, near the entrance, I noticed a boy who was meticulously fiddling with leather, cutting it into small pieces with metal scissors.

The yard is cramped, but seeing as there is a separate small building that doubles as a warehouse, the situation doesn’t seem bad.

“It seems that there is no problem even if you use the grip (handle) as it is. But the top and bottom seem to be the same thickness. Is this okay? Usually, the grip is thicker as you go up. Just looking at the shape of the guard and pommel, it’s a perfect imperial sword. Didn’t they say that even the thickness of the grip was balanced overall because they were obsessed with the shape of the cross?”

“Yes. You saw it right away.”

I don’t really care.

The way you hold and use the sword differs depending on whether the hilt and handle are made in an oval shape, flattened, or squared.

Wounding leather also has different uses depending on the way the wire is wrapped or wrapped.

It is said that if you use it forcefully, it is enough, but depending on the structure, there is no difference between stabbing and swinging.

“It’s not that I didn’t mention it because I didn’t know the circumstances, so I guess I understand.”

If the condition near the hilt of the sword was strange, I would have repaired it, replaced it with a new one, reinforced it, or whatever.

It’s a temporary cloth, and bandages, or straps are also methods, but it’s only a temporary measure.

If you don’t know how to look cool, I wonder if that’s a problem to be concerned about, but originally, if you dig into each detail of these things, the limit disappears.

I had nothing to do, so I took off the skins of some monsters and even the skins of creatures in the sea and even went through special processing, making and manufacturing special leather materials for the sheath and sword hilt separately, and hiding the secrets about it as a secret. It’s not like that.

Do you mean that even the slightest differences affect the usefulness of tools and the rise and fall of individual skills?

The fact that the handler’s senses have become more detailed to the extent that it affects even the smallest detail is, of course, significant.

However, if you’ve been used to using luxurious things from the beginning, you’ll naturally find luxurious things because you’re afraid to use cheap ones.

“… ….”

In that respect, I’m not picky about it.

If you give it to me, use it appropriately and that’s it.

“Thank you very much.”

With those words, I left.

She told Rui Lin to buy enough of her ingredients to eat herself, so by now the chapel was preparing dishes for gluttons, and there must have been an unexpected uproar.

“… ….”

And.

As much as the kid rescued one of them, there were Leo and Lucyri, but that alone made me uneasy, so I had the intention of trying hard to keep Ruirin attached.

You have to do it right, no matter how you think about it, it’s not reasonable for poor good intentions to lead to more terrible retaliation and resentment.

… Those who claim to be predators, powerful, and perpetrators, not victims.

Never overlook what happened.

That you accept it straight away and endure it.

They are absolutely not allowed.

It is the basic way of life and attitude of exercising violence and exercising tyranny.

I have lived my whole life like that, so the moment I let go of that life.

At the point of putting down the façade of fear, all that remains is the bite of another predator’s molars, or the terrible retaliation of the writers who waited for an opportunity with a grudge.

In common words, self-employment is self-sufficient.

“… ….”

And.

I wonder if there are any people following me while pretending to look around.

I also had the intention of taking a rough look at the rumors, so I looked here and there.

At the moment, the surveillance and tailing eyes were not separately captured.

Let’s head to the chapel when the sun goes down.

“Did you come here not to fix the sword, but to make it?”

Ruilin poured out complaints.

“… ….”

What are you dissatisfied with?

Ruines takes care of more than six children in total.

And when Leo, Luiri, Ruirin, and I joined, the place inside the chapel that doubles as a kitchen/dining room was filled with excitement.

It is a form of living and living space organized inside the chapel building, and I know that small churches usually share this kind of thing, but this part was a little unexpected.

The meal was large in quantity, but the content was simple.

Soup with hard bread and several kinds of vegetables close to broth.

The jam made with raspberries and grapes in milk was enough to soothe the dull appetite.

From noble mtl dot com

Kariel soaked bread in soup and waited for it to soften.

As much as he sat together at the dinner table, the sound of conversation flowed naturally into his ears.

“Isn’t there someone else in charge?”

“There was one nun… He went on a missionary journey.”

Ruines roughly said that to Leo’s question, but… By the way, an outreach trip?

I was confused for a moment because it was a reason for travel that is unheard of in the empire.

“Irenice believers and shepherds are diligent about that.”

Leo agrees with Luciri’s words, saying that it is true.

“Even in our village, different Irenis believers used to visit each season.”

“You mean the village? Come to think of it, did you say Leo-sama is from another kingdom?”

Leo, who hesitated for a moment at Louise’s question, replied with a weak smile.

“Yes. Even if it’s a kingdom, in some ways it’s not much different from the lord’s territory ruled by Rutengar Jarl. I heard directly from the king that Metran was a country that was possible because it was a neighboring country.”

“That… song?”

Luciri gave a simple explanation.

“There is a small country called Serf Kingdom, where human beasts, elves and dwarves, live together. The terrain is steep, mountainous, and hilly, so I left it alone, saying that there would be no gains from occupying it in other countries. After the establishment of the kingdom, iron ore was discovered and even the dwarves joined in, and even the dwarves became the royal family with the unanimous consent of the members under the pretext of protecting the kingdom’s finances.”

“I’ve heard of it too.”

Ruirin has also pretended to know.

“… ….”

Actually, Kariel had only heard of it, though she had no idea what was going on.

“By the way, King? Is Leo high enough to meet Serp’s Konungr?”

“No. It’s just because our king is benevolent. And… We don’t call the king Konungra like Metran did. We call each other like kings. They seem to be called kings in foreign countries.”

The king of the ice, sea, and sand people, commonly known as Wikingru, was called Konung, and that alone was enough to understand the origins of these people.

Influenced by that, there are examples of some small countries and certain lords charging themselves as Konungra… Usually, it is arranged in a line called Yarl.

However, that is the case, most of their culture and old traditions have been scattered, and have long since been absorbed into those of the continent.

“And the reason I was called was because I was called as a witness to report on the tragedy that occurred in the village.”

“Tragedy? What tragedy?”

Lucy Li noticed, but Rui Lin tilted her head and asked.

“My children. You should eat it without spilling it.”

Ruines was busy taking care of the children.

“It’s okay, Lucy. It’s not even a story about hiding.”

Leo put on a confused face, but when he saw Rui Lin frowning, thinking that he had touched something wrong, she tried to smile.

“The village of Tedeo where I used to live is now… Everyone except me is asleep.”

“Huh? Are you asleep? Why?”

Mulgreuk!

A wooden bowl tipped over on the floor and a child burst into tears.

“Gwa, it’s okay! It could be!”

Ruines was restless and began to soothe the child.

“Oh, what a waste.”

“Ruilin….”

Lucy Li listened well to Rui Lin’s muttering as she licked her lips.

When she opens her eyes with her ax and notices her, she quickly crouches.

“… ….”

Kariel watched the scene intently and even emptied her bowl.

That’s how the story fizzled out.

—-

The appearance of Rui Lin, who boasted of her great appetite, was enough to surprise everyone.

Louis Ness and Lucy Li, who did not believe her, seemed to have comforted her at first by saying that she was cooking too much.

“It goes well.”

It’s okay to eat well, but there’s such a thing as a level.

It took quite a while to finish washing the dishes with the bowls towards the well.

As it got darker, the process of trying to go out together with lanterns became more noisy than expected.

Ruines, who has a bad leg, had to stay despite his regrets, so he thought about leaving Leo behind.

“… Is there a master who has nothing to do?”

“??”

Why?

It’s the name of adding to the cost of purchasing ingredients, so I’m just taking a break.

As a result, I ended up sitting face to face with Luines, relying on a single candle.

“Today is that… thank you.”

“… ….”

I did it because I could.

If it’s only natural for the other party to express gratitude… Kariel gave her a formal nod.

If the other side can feel at ease by accepting it, then there is no need to refuse.

“I’ve never been so riotous in a while… The children are also very happy.”

“Is that so?”

Kariel obediently listened to what she had to say. She

She didn’t even have anything to say.

“… ….”

But it took me a little while to see that my face couldn’t straighten out to see if there was something I was worried about.

“Do you have any concerns?”

“That… no. This is my case….”

Then she looked at Kariel and asked abruptly.

“Riel-nim, are you also interested in Grandeus’s sword?”

“What do you mean by interest?”

“That’s what you want to draw.”

“… ….”

“Because I have seen many people. People who come simply to pray and pray for blessings, and those who visit with the purpose of claiming that, are different in their eyes and facial expressions.”

“… ….”

Kariel didn’t even nod her head, and she didn’t respond.

This is not a question to get her answer.

“Do you think it is possible?”

“… I don’t know.”

I don’t know.

I’m not in a position where I can work on something with confidence.

I do it because I have to.

… I seek it because I need it.

That’s all.

“I’m sorry. I said something… Hey, can I get you some water?”

“It’s okay.”

I wonder if it was because it was so awkward to face each other.

She was the one who tried to get her body up by using her cane.

“Huh?!”

Perhaps she misplaced her hand, her upper body tilted straight away.

At that moment, Kariel reacted immediately.

If he lived without his mind, he would have missed even this, but even when he is relaxed, his mind is always sharp.

Every moment he opens and closes his eyes, every moment he inhales and exhales is real and real to him.

If the ceiling suddenly collapses here and you die from being crushed by it, whose fault is it?

Is it because of a natural disaster?

Is it because of the viciousness of someone who launched the surprise attack?

Or is it really bad luck, and it’s because of the collapsed building?

No.

It’s my fault for not preparing.

It’s my fault for accepting the absurdity straight away.

“… ….”

Her

Her about to fall her moment of holding her.

I saw something.

Not one or two.

There are countless numbers.

The very first.

I saw a girl lying on the floor crying.

And then.

I saw a girl sitting down in a mess and shedding tears despite being hit by the rain.

Even though her hair, which had been close to her blonde hair, faded as if with time and changed to resemble that of the sky.

As the two blue eyes leak into pure white.

Her teary expression gradually faded.

Perhaps it is another form of resignation.

Then one day, the girl was reunited with her family.

However, she couldn’t call her father her father.

Because he ordered that.

[Keep in mind. You must not reveal to anyone that you are my daughter. If that fact gets out, I’ll kick you out of here. No, even chasing him isn’t enough, he’ll punish you even worse than that. So keep that in mind.]

The girl assumed the role of waiting on her younger boy than herself. She

She was her half-brother.

At first she was hateful and resentful.

What is the difference between you and me?

Why do you have everything from scratch?

In reality, the child was very harsh, arrogant, and had no up or down.

She whined when she was bored, was unreasonable, and was incredibly stubborn.

… If only it was different from other children.

The child limped on one of her legs.

There were no misfortunes, no accidents, no unfortunate tragedies.

Congenital disability.

If I had to force it, I was not born healthy.

That itself must have been a tragedy that the child would never have again.
