“P-Please raise your head.”

I call out to the woman in a hurry. However the woman did not even budge.

“Please I beg you! Make me your disciple!”

This… don’t tell me she won’t move unless I make her into my disciple? If she won’t move even a bit…

People are already gathering around the area. In any case, I don’t want this woman and above all Samia, to be left in the center of this curious crowd.

“For the time being, I will close the store, let me hear about it then.”

After saying that, the woman starts to stand up. Without delay, I close the shop with clattering noise. I want to leave before the guards come. I don’t want to bother the guards too much.

This is the fastest time so far that I tidied my things, holding the sales stand, the three of us went to return it then we met Marius-shi. However, he’s extremely relaxed…

“Oh, you finally met the dwarf young lady huh. That’s good, I’m glad you two met.”

“Ah yes! Thanks to you.”

The dwarf woman smiles and answers back. Ah, she must be the one Marius-shi mentioned this morning....

“Marius-san, I wish you have told me more about this a while ago.”

I softly protest to Marius-shi.

“No, the result wouldn’t change even if I told you about it and I also couldn’t do anything about it.”

That’s right… but at least I should have some mental preparation.

“And I was able to see that surprised expression of yours. Normally, you have this usual surly face, so it was also profitable for me.”

I even thought that he came out at the right timing but it seems that he was watching from afar while using the pretext of patrolling or something.

“That was terrible…”

“Well, please forgive me. Events like this are the only fun things happening around here you know.”This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com

“I’ll take it as you owe me one for this.”

“I understand!”

And lastly, Marius-shi jokingly salutes. I don’t think he’s a bad person, but there are some things I’m not good at. In any case I made it as his debt.

I said goodbye to Marius-shi and after I returned the sales stand, we went to an inn in the flea market. As expected, there is a bar on the first floor and accommodations on the second floor. This dwarven woman has been here for three days.

“I’m Rike Moritz”

Said the woman. I’m holding a big mug –not a glass but a small barrel with a handle –though it was not the ale, isn’t this a brandy?

“Family name?”

Samia mumbled that question. Then,

“Ah no, not that, Moritz is not a family name but a workshop name.”

“Workshop name?”

This time it was my turn to question. Samia is drinking ale next to me.

“Yeah. Dwarves basically come together in a few families to have a workshop. People born and living there give themselves the name of the workshop. My name means I’m Rike from Moritz Workshop.”Translated by Yume Neiji

Like that of a clan, it’s like introducing oneself with the name of the village huh.

“My name is Eizou. This is Samia.”

Samia glanced at me. Probably because I didn’t say “Tanya”. I can introduce like that to Rike-san but I don’t know who’s listening at the bar so I refrained from doing so. It’s a bit troublesome if you have a family name in this world, and I don’t want to take the risk for it.

“Nice to meet you.”

Samia curtly greets.

“Likewise, please take good care of me. Eizou-san… Are you a northerner?”

“Ah, that’s my country of origin. Due to various things, I settled down in the “Black Forest” and work there as a blacksmith.”

“I see…”

As she listened to my story, Rike-san pondered about it.

“Is there anything wrong?”

“Ah, none. I was wondering about it as I didn’t see any blacksmith that could make such items before I came here.”

“Ah……”This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com

I drink the contents of the mug. It’s a wine diluted with water, not so good……Contrary to how I look, I am vulnerable to alcohol.

Well, no one makes a workshop inside the forest normally. It seems a water wheel is used to move the hammer so it needs to be near running water. I wonder if it’s close to a hydraulic hammer used to forge in the previous world. In my case, it was already prepared in the forest, so there’s no use in arguing about it.

“It would help me a lot if you won’t pursue the circumstances in that area deeply.”

“I understand. I’m not interested about it in particular.”

Rike-san says so readily.

“So why do you want to be my disciple?”

I corrected the flow of the conversation.

“Ah, yes. About that topic, it will take a little longer as I explain.”

Rike-san drinks the contents of the mug and exhaled.

“Me and my younger brothers left our workshop to visit workshops in various places in order to study. And if we are to find a good workshop, we would enter as a disciple then eventually go back to our original workshop to craft new things using the techniques we learned. Afterwards we will return to the workshop where we are accepted as disciple. That’s how dwarves live.”

Oh, those information are not “installed” in me. Since it doesn’t contain the detailed ecology of animals, I wonder if it’s because of that. Well it’s more fun that way, but…

“That kind of thing… If it’s done poorly the technique might leak so doesn’t everyone usually refuse?”This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com

“Yes. Having a dwarf wanting to be a disciple is normally an honor for the workshop. If everything works well, that workshop will also gain merits.”

But I don’t know ordinary people who aren’t blacksmiths, so at that time I was more curious than the surprise of the apprentice thing. If I was seen by blacksmiths in this town, then there is a possibility that I will incur their envy, right? Leaving immediately is the right choice… No, wait, who does Marius-shi really looking out for? Guess it’s alright, I’ll just have him return this debt in a different way.

Rike-san then continues.

“So, when I arrived in this town about three days ago, I saw that guard I met earlier use a knife, then I inadvertently inquire him about it. I want to be the disciple of the person who made it, so I asked him to tell me where you live. I thought you are a blacksmith in this town at that time.”

“Umm, then you thought I made it, huh.”

“Yes, but I don’t know your name or where you live so I come to the flea market once a week. I was told that you might be coming now since it’s about a week when you last came here.”

“Surely that’s how it is now.”

“So this morning, I watched my younger brothers set off and then come to take a look at the long swords. Then I thought that I want to be your disciple after all and learn this technique.”This is translated by Yume Neiji (yumeineijiworks.wordpress.com

“I see…… Eh?”

She just said something I’m worried about.

“Your brothers are no longer here?”

“Yes. They have a workshop they should go to.”

Rike-san smiled sweetly.

“Then, if I refuse here…”

“It’ll be a woman travelling alone, and then search for the next workshop.”

No, I think it would be dangerous. Or rather, she anticipates and purposely says it…. I think I’ll accept here. I still think I’m too naïve for my own good.

“Okay. I approve you as my disciple.”

Samia next to me took a deep sigh. I’m sorry. But didn’t you expect it?

“Is that ok!?”

“Yes. However, there are four conditions.”

“Y-Yes, what are those?”

“First, like Rike-san did this time, resolving yourself to be a sacrifice is something I don’t like. Please don’t do it in from now on.”

“Yes.”

Rike-san sits up straight and nods.

“Second, we don’t have enough rooms. We will start with your room construction.”

“Yes, I’m use to it. Even at Moritz Workshop, if the family had children, everyone will help in building a new room.”

“Third, it’s related to the second one, but I will ask you to help in various tasks other than blacksmithing.”

“Yes. That’s what it meant to be a disciple.”

“Fourth”

“Yes”

“Let’s drop the honorifics. I’ll call you Rike, so Rike should just call me Eizou.”

“No, I can’t call you that, Boss!”

Samia, who heard it look in amazement.

“B, boss…”

“Yeah, I’m a disciple that’s why calling you Boss to show my respect is logical!”

Samia, who finally couldn’t hold it in, laughed. I’ll remember this.

With this, I made a disciple, which I thought would still be a long way-off.
