'Sir, we're going to take care of you now. For now, we'll start with the armor you ordered.

I'm counting on you. I have many other ideas. I'll come back with more.

Yeah, say what you want. If your husband has a vocation as a 'blacksmith', you can make it with him, too.

Are you sure? ...... So, see you next time you come back--

About ten days after we returned from Luklaera.

It was me and the Grand Master, exchanging greetings after the workshop was completed.

The Grand Master declared that he would be the exclusive member of our knightly corps, and in fact, he immediately came to Elishe to check it out, and a few days later, he had indeed built the workshop.

The location was near my mansion, in a corner with a stream running through it.

It was completed in just a few days by a group of merry dwarf companions, each bringing their own building materials and other things to the site while singing songs. It was a frightening feat of Dwarvish construction technology.

The wood was cut down in large quantities by Shamash-san and used after being forcibly dried by the priestess's spirit magic. Forced drying magic is a terrifying spell that evaporates the water content of objects in the area, and costs one spirit stone. This amount of spirit stones was indeed paid for by me.

After the completion of the workshop, the grand master immediately hired five new apprentices to work diligently in the blacksmithing business every day. He's going to take on Elishe's work for a while to raise money to make ends meet.

I've been hired by him, so I'm free to observe.

The grand master wields a hammer with physical strength that belies his age. Sparks fly off and the red-hot iron changes shape. He is like a wizard, transforming himself by hitting the hammer.

He is a real blacksmith, which is said to be rare in Japan.

Yes, he is a blacksmith. He is a blacksmith.

This is the blacksmithing shop I dreamed of, because I enjoy making knives.

What is blacksmithing? When I say, I mean the process of pounding iron to make a product. In other words, it's forging.

I don't call it blacksmithing when I'm making a knife and cutting a sheet of wood. Forging is blacksmithing.

But I don't have many opportunities to do blacksmithing as an individual. I can say that I don't have .......

I'm a knife maker, but a knife is one of my hobbies, and a "Japanese knife" made by forging is really just one type of knife, and knives are generally made by grinding a steel plate. It has nothing to do with blacksmithing.

For example, you have a knife in your kitchen.

Except for Japanese knives, all knives are carved out of iron plate. In other words, they are not forged, but hollowed out from a steel plate.

The Japanese knives that chefs use - willow-blade, de-blade, takohiki, and ...... - are forged. It is difficult to say how they are different. It's also true that forged knives are not so shallow as to be able to say that they are sharper than forged knives.

Regardless of that, it is a forging. Forging is a romance.

Shamash built his house at about the same time as Oyakata built his workshop.

The story goes back a little.

'Ayase,' he said, 'the ward of this house. The warding of this house. It's a really good ward, but ...... is still a little hard for me to see.

It was the third day since Mr. Shamash arrived.

Mr. Shamash, who still had nowhere to live and was lying awake on the couch in the mansion, said apologetically.

'The wards?'

''No, it's not so much the warding itself, but rather the spirit power. The inside of the ward is unthinkably full of spirit power. Instead, the magic element is surprisingly thin. I don't know what kind of secret it is, but ....... In short, this ward is not only a ward that keeps out enemies, but also a ward that captures and retains spirit power. It is said that this ward existed from the time Ayase-kun started living in it, so the previous inhabitants may have been elves.

I see. ......

A previous resident or .......

I hadn't thought much about it, but of course there was a guy who built and lived in this house. It was pretty much an abandoned house when I found it, so I'm guessing it was a pretty old guy. No, if he's an elf, is it possible that he's still alive?

At first I thought it would be a good idea for Shamash to live in the house with me.

Deanna didn't reject Shamash's proposal as much as I thought she would, and more importantly, I thought it would be difficult to build a private residence. There was also the fear that it would cost a lot of money.

However, it seems that the difference between the spirit power and the magic element outside of the ward is still very hard to bear.

They say it only makes them feel a little drunk, but if it's too frequent, there will be something hard to do.

Furthermore, Shamash-san wants a workshop, and he said he'll build a hut anyway.

So, we decided to build a house.

Once he decided to build the house, Shamash acted quickly.

He hardly needed any help, and the house was completed in an amazingly fast pace.

The location was in a way that was connected to our mansion and just barely outside the boundaries. The sense is that it is a remote (...) of our mansion.

The materials were procured by Shamash himself, by forceful means, by giving me a houseful of stones in exchange for helping me work at the quarry.

I heard that the work of the quarry was quite dangerous and had many accidents, but apparently the super efficiency of Shamash-san's summoned magical beasts made a lot of progress.

After all, Ai's lasers can cut the stones cleanly, and if you call out the golem, you can carry even fairly heavy stones. Best of all, if you're a summoned magical beast, you don't have to worry about running out of them. Even if there's an accident, you won't know about the work-related injuries.

The wood was also cut by Shamash himself from the forest. If he has the wood and stones, he can do the rest. He has built a small detached house in no time at all.

It was a simple, log cabin style house, but he had even built a fireplace in a casual way.

Speaking of which, what is your vocation, Shamash-san?

I asked him about it when we had a drink at the completion of the house.

Shamash is my slave for one thing or another, so it's not a problem to ask him.

'Hmm? Didn't I say so? My vocation is 'Magus', 'Artist', 'Craftsman' and 'Summoner'. Hmmm, I'm a weak wizard.

Mr. Shamash, with a glass of whiskey in his hand, smiles mischievously.

'No, no, no. "No, no, no, no. It's amazing. It's the first time I've ever seen someone with four vocation.

'Yeah. Well, elves and nightmares are special: ....... But you've got seven vocation and two unique jobs, Ayase, right? You're more of a monster that way. It wouldn't be wrong to say that God loves you. It's like being the second coming of a hero from the spirit civilization.

'Hmmm, well, I think it's a bit strange that there are so many of them myself. I wonder why that is.

Hmmm, God must have sent him to do something. Cheers.

'I don't like that one bit. Campery.

After an exchange called ......, Shamash's vocation was discovered.

I heard that mages are the higher-level professions of sorcerers, but it's a vocation that is almost always possessed by the demonic ...... or rather, the nightmare race. The same goes for summoners.

So, it seems that Shamash-san's personal vocation is more of an 'artist' and 'craftsman'. It seems that his dexterity and ability to create anything may be due in large part to his vocation.

According to Shamash, the vocation of "Artist" is very rare.

Indeed, it would be scary if there were a lot of artists out there. There's also the direction of Mr. Shamash's work, which he's going to sell on the Ok.

After the house is completed, Shamash usually stays away from us, but now he only comes to the house for dinner.

In fact, I heard that coming only for dinner is also very intoxicating, but I didn't ask her to do so because it's important to get used to it. Maybe he just feels lonely when he's alone, so I haven't asked him about it.

During the day, he plays around with us, coming to the shop with us and taking part in combat training.

Shamash-san is actually strong, as he only manipulates magic, and when we tried a mock battle, the only person who could win was Shero-san. Well, it's like fighting an opponent with a gun. It's just that Shero-san is crazy enough to win.

Shero-san ducking and flicking through the magic of the Ice Javelin with a piece of paper and a sword was so cool that he could get money if he made a video of it. I think I understand why gladiatorial shows were once so popular in ancient Rome.

Also, he told Orica a secret to me and brought her in as a clan member even more. Now we have a total of nine clan members. If we could get Shero and Hetty to join, we'd have a huge clan of people.

Orica was astonished when she heard my secret and fell off her chair.

I'm sure the most surprising part is that it's a unique position, so maybe the unique position is something that people in this world have special feelings about.

◇◆◆◆◇

Sorry for the delay, Grand Master.

A week after the completion of the grand master's workshop, I carried the steel I had obtained into the workshop.

I brought the steel I had obtained into the workshop.

These are leaf springs (suspensions) for buses and trucks. These are good steel materials and have been used for knives for a long time.

However, I couldn't get enough of them, so I got a scrap rail from a friend of mine for a friend's price, which had been quietly discarded in the shadows of a scrap metal shop.

The train rails are made of good high-carbon steel to prevent them from rotting in the rain. It would be perfect as a steel material.

You can't use it as a hobby knife material, but you can use it as iron material. I can't really make a knife out of a lump of iron for personal use.

However, it was really heavy, so I borrowed a cutting machine and cut it into 30 centimeters.

The plate spring and the rail are very heavy.

I can't use the clan inventory in Japan. To begin with, the vocation board doesn't start ...... or even appear. It may be that there are no spirits on earth.

If that's the case, the only way to get them is to carry them by hand, little by little, which took quite a bit of time.

Instead, it was a total of about five hundred kilos worth of steel. He could make at least 200 swords. Maybe they could make more.

It should be enough for the time being.

"Oh ............ oh oh ......

'Oh, Grand Master ......?'

The grand master trembles in front of the freshly brought in steel and raises one of the scrap rails in his arms, his eyes in meditation.

A glittering drop shines from the rim of his stern eyes--!

I'm now furiously impressed. ......! Thank you husband ....... It's a blacksmith's delight to go out of your way to provide this much iron for us.

It was good. It was worth it to me to bring it to you with a sore back.

It's actually a bit of a muscle ache.

Even though I usually work out a little bit, heavy lifting is a different muscle to use again.

I used a dolly for the flat ground, so that was fine, but the stairs at home were hard .......

I wish I'd realized sooner that I could get the mirror downstairs .......

At any rate, this clears up the material problem.

The value of iron is very different between Japan and the other world. Japan Samasama.

If we tried to obtain this level of steel in this world, we would need dozens of gold coins. Of course, the quality would not be as uniform as this.

Well, there are magical metals like mithril in the other world instead. It's not a substitute for steel, apparently, so it doesn't seem to diminish the value of steel.

''It's my first time with steel, so we'll have to try a lot of things, but I'll get my masters' swords ready as soon as possible.

'I'm grateful. Oh, yes, I can still bring the iron with me, so you can use it for outside work. As long as you don't sell it too cheaply.

If the Grand Master makes a profit, I make a profit as a result.

The Grand Master is a skilled craftsman. If I put my ideas and knowledge into it, it would be difficult for him not to make money.

I'd like you to make something for me, Grand Master. No, I think I'll start off with research, so I'll be fine if I have a little bit of time to spare.

What?

...... There's this thing called a Japanese sword. I want to market it to the aristocracy.

I took out the books I had prepared.

There were plenty of books on Japanese swords in the library, and I borrowed them all.

I wish I could have brought the sword itself, but I didn't have it with me, so I had to ask him to bear with the book.

Of course, Grand Master can't read Japanese, so I had to explain it to him, but I'm sure he's a battle-hardened dwarf master, so I'm sure he'll be fine.

...... Yes, it is a Japanese sword. It is a Japanese sword.

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it. It's not so much about cutting with a sharp blade as it is about cutting with a sharp blade like the Japanese sword.

And above all, Japanese swords are beautiful. It is a work of art that can be used as a weapon. It's not a bad idea to have a good time. It's even better when you're dealing with a nobleman.

The material used to make Japanese swords is old-fashioned "Tamagohen", which means steel, and I'm sure Master Dwarf will be able to handle it.

Well, to be honest, it doesn't have to be that strictly Japanese sword. It's not like I'm trying to copy traditional craftsmanship, and ultimately, if it's "cool and cuts well and is easy for the grand master to knock off," that's fine.

It's like, "Wow, this guy is amazing. I've never thought of a beautiful blade print. I've made a sword with a bent blade, but this one seems to be very strong. ''Sir! That sounds like a fun job!

What do you think, by the looks of it? Can you do it?

Yeah. It's going to be a little tricky to warp, but it's not impossible. Anyway, it's a trial run for these things. Maybe not right away, but I'll see what I can do.

The grand master undertakes the task more lightly than I expected.

Maybe the Japanese sword is just one of the many weapons that the otherworldly blacksmiths have to deal with.

Whatever the case, it's romantic. Let's wait for the prototype to be made.

Afterwards, the grand master and I discussed the equipment of the knights.

He plans to make not only swords, but also comprehensive equipment, including armor. A female only knight squad. They're not mercenaries or bandits, and they can't just wear whatever armor they want with an emphasis on practicality.

It should be beautiful and practical. The ones that can be recognized as knights at a glance are preferable.

I want it to be a gem worthy of decorating the stage.

I'll have to make the insignia as soon as possible.

◇◆◆◆◇◇.

The story goes back and forth, a few days ago.

As I was working at the store as usual, Priestess showed up at the store.

She told us that she had reported to the mayor about the incident in Luclaera, and the mayor wanted to thank us for the incident.

It seems that the priest reported the incident in a very exaggerated manner, and it seems that the atmosphere is such that you can get a considerable amount of reward money.

The mayor is especially upset about the matter of the elf who was supposed to protect Lucraella, and that's part of the reason why he's extraordinarily grateful to you.

He wanted to meet with me in person, so I asked him to make an appointment with the mayor ...... milk pearl, and for the first time in a very long time, I was able to meet with him.

Well, I've met her husband, Bill, from time to time.

It's been a long time, Mr. MilkPearl.

Jirou, it's been a while.

I met up with Ms. Milkpearl in the reception room of the temple.

Even though it's the mayor, it's an unexpectedly easy meeting with Ms. Millpearl, who only has one bodyguard and one secretary attached to her.

This is me, Deanna and Marina. It's the usual lineup.

While exchanging a brief greeting, Milk Pearl-san crawls her gaze across her entire body as if she's nudging you.

Well, my body shape might be quite different compared to those days. I've gained muscle and lost some flab.

''Back then, I was told that you were a cute little jeweler, but you've gotten a lot more respectable.

After all, we have to protect ourselves, don't we? And that's what led to this.

It's quite a different look. I wasn't really aware of it.

But I've been training pretty hard with Mr. Shero, so it's not surprising: .......

'That's wonderful. The security of Elishe is getting better, but the wealthier we are, the less good people we attract. We have more military police to deal with them as well.

Oh, no, no. Elishe is peaceful. Amazing. It's a good environment to do business.

'Thank you. That makes me sniffy as a mayor.

The mayor took a breath.

'So, to the point. I'm sure the Priestess has told you about Luclaela. I am truly grateful. I will thank you as much as I can on my own authority. Half of it is our misconduct, for you have put your life on the line for it.

You're welcome.

Actually, I had an idea.

Not money.

Something I could only ask the mayor for.

You've heard I'm setting up a private army, right?

Yes, the Priestess has told me. He's putting together a collection of knightly women.

'I'm collecting or ...... well, in the grand scheme of things, yes. So. It's mostly because of them that this case was resolved without any casualties. So, as an elishe event, I'd like to see them have a parade and a simple thank-you ceremony to celebrate their accomplishments. To Ms. Milk-Pearl.

The mayor gives me a quizzical look when he hears of the parade.

Well, it was certainly a sudden and unexpected offer.

As you know, women in knighthood have gone unrewarded in this country for a long time, but if we make this matter public, we can show that we are good enough to keep the human cranes in check. A parade of strong and beautiful knights is simply eye-catching, and even if it doesn't really have much influence, I think it will help improve the position of knights,

The more glittery the parade is, the more it will change the way people look at the Knights ...... or even the female knights. It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for, and if you've got a good idea of what you're looking for, you'll be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

Of course, most people would be skeptical of such a move, and there is a possibility that it would have the opposite effect.

But it's better than doing nothing at all.

I see. ...... sounds interesting. Can you tell me more about it?

Of course I do.

Then, after some shenanigans with Mr. Milk Pearl, who was more flippant than I could have imagined, it was decided that the parade would take place in about a month's time.

Since we're going to do it, it's going to be a big deal.

I want it to have enough impact to destroy the stereotype that knighted women can't be knights.

In terms of showing our combat prowess first, we decided to do a simple demonstration at the party after the parade as well. We plan to do a stiff battle with Shamash-san's summoned monster beasts.

We naturally want to focus on the look of it. They're all beautiful enough in their natural state, but it would be good to bring some cosmetics and accessories from Earth to dress them up. Then there's the equipment. The design of the matching armor is especially important. It takes a lot of money, but it's a necessary expense.

Advance publicity is also essential.

For starters, monsters suddenly spring up in large numbers in Luclaera, and in a hurry, catastrophe! I also deliberately decided to spread the story that the traveling female knights had quelled the

If it were to say, "I hear the rumored knights are having a parade," then a large number of bored people would rush to the place. Even if it's just for free, there are not many events in this world. You can expect to attract a lot of visitors. It would be nice if we could put on a food stall as well, but I don't think we'll be able to get to that point.

Furthermore, this is a side effect, or rather, a promise to use the knights when the city has security or other work to do. Well, it seems that as long as the city is having a parade, it can't be a no-show afterwards (・・・・・・), but I'm thankful for that.

Our knight squad has the former deputy head of the legendary mercenary group "Scarlet Wedge 《Scarlet Wedge》" "Monster (Jaguar Note)" Shero Roth as an advisor, Rebecca-san, the knight commander, is a dragon knight (Dragoon), Marina has a magic weapon, and Deanna, a high elf, is also there, with a knight squad. There's even a wizard (Mr. Shamash)! I've heard that the military police in this town are pretty good, but my kids are definitely more spectacular.

...... Well, what happened in Luclaera is pretty match-pumpy in some aspects, as it's a phenomenon that I caused myself. What matters is the outcome.

Anyway, this is a good opportunity for the Knights to get some recognition and hopefully make my business bigger as well.
