“Oneechan~, I’m back.”
I went up from the 60th floor to the 30th floor at once. Fana and Anje, who were at stand by on the 30th floor, were waiting inside the barrier I had created. It is a convenient barrier that can be entered and exited freely, and when inside, it has a concealment effect topped with a healing magic. With this barrier as a base, it should not have been a problem for them to explore the surrounding area.
“Isn’t it too fast!? Did you really go to the sixtieth floor?”
“Of course I went. Here look, this is the mithril ore from the sixtieth floor.”
The sparkling high purity mithril ore made both of them widen their eyes.
“It is certainly very different from what we got at this floor.”
“Un. I feel a great presence of magical power.”
“But I think it’s better not to deliver this to the guild……”
“Eh? Why so Anje-oneechan?”
“……You didn’t want to stand out, right? The guild shouldn’t have expected such purity of mithril ore. Besides, wouldn’t it be strange if it appeared when it can only be mined at the 60th floor? Even if we are A-rank adventurer, it was noted that the recommended level is barely up to the 40th floor. There are probably only a few adventurers in the world who can make it to the 60th floor.”
“That’s right. But I’ve seen someone on the sixtieth floor.”
We had just passed each other on the stairs. He appears to be a solo adventurer too. That is why I thought such mithril wasn’t that unusual.
“Well, let’s just say Oneechans picked it up.”
“You won’t impose it on us…… will you?”
It seems to be no good. Anje was right, this mithril ore would not be delivered to the guild. Instead, let’s say we serve a low-quality one from the 30th floor. It was decided to take the high-quality mithril ore directly to the blacksmith.
In this city, which is said to be a sacred place for adventurers, there are many skilled blacksmiths. When we returned to the ground, we went straight to the reception desk for A-rank adventurers. In addition to the mithril ore, we also submitted the materials for other requests obtained along the way.
“All of these mithril ores in such a short period of time…… And uh-……the other requests are submitted as well….”
The receptionist-oneechan was astonished. It’s only low purity, and the number of them was collected by breaking down a few walls, so I don’t think it’s a big deal though.
Anje whispered in my ear.
“…… Look, I told you. If we had taken out the mithril ore that you had mined alone, it would have been a huge commotion.”
“Well, it seems so, and I’m glad you mentioned it Anje-oneechan.”
Little by little, I have to learn the common sense of today’s world.
“I’m going to do my best to be a normal baby.”
“I think that’s forever impossible….”
After reporting the request, we decided to go to the blacksmith. When I asked the receptionist, she gave me the names of some skilled blacksmiths. Among them, we went to a person who is said to be the most skilled person in this city. But that person was said to be quite fastidious and selects his customers, so even the Adventurer’s Guild only introduces him to a small number of adventurers.
“It’s like a genius craftsman.”
“Hmm, it looks promising.”
We then came to an area outside the center of the city. The tattered houses are scattered around, and all I see are people in shabby clothes.
“Slums?”
“It appears so. I wonder if there is really such a skilled blacksmith here?”
I also had a map drawn so I’m sure we are not in the wrong direction. Then, out of nowhere, I heard yelling.
“What do you mean you can’t make my sword!?”
“Well, as I said earlier, you’re not good enough to handle the sword I made!”
“Hah!……I’m not good enough!? What do you know about me when you are just a blacksmith who could only make swords huh!? Don’t mess around, just be obedient and all you have to do is strike my sword!”
It was in a building that looked like an old workshop. It seems that there is some squabbling there. Just as I was about to look inside, wondering if it was okay, a man was blown outside.
“Guaa!?”
Later, a woman with an eyepatch covering one eye appeared and coldly spoke to the man who is lying on the ground.
“Don’t show your face in front of me again, Idiot.”
“Hiiii……”
The man hurriedly stood up and ran away.
“Uhm…… The map says it is here but….…”
“Is that person a blacksmith?”
