87 - 65 Go for the Dwarf Village

Well, Erma aside.

I tell Ms. Leia what I came here for and hand her the Hinokaguzuchi.

Then, with a scowl on her face, Leia-san said.

She said with a scowl, "This guy is terrible ....... What kind of people have you been fighting?

What kind of people?

Me.

Me.

Me?

No, I've fought you guys too, sure, but ......

The big ones, after all, were Terra-sama,......, Jibogami-sama, and King Vael.

The actual "I'm not a fan of the way you do it," he said, "but I'm not a fan of the way you do it either.

I can certainly fix it and even strengthen it a bit, but your strength is getting stronger and stronger. But your power is getting stronger and stronger, isn't it?　Then this is not enough. But I can't make it any better. It's frustrating.

"Oh no, .......

Mother ......."

'...... dwarves.'

What?

"The 'dwarves' might be able to do something about it.

"Dwarves?" "......."

I think that's it. The old lady said that they are good with their hands and can make very high quality weapons.

"Yes. I heard that they never appear in public, not even in front of their own subhuman race. ......

"Yeah, that's what my husband said, too. --The fact that I was able to get into the village is like a miracle.

「「「「「「「--?

I'm in the village!　Leia-san said with a nostalgic look on her face, "Yes, I did.

Before he met me, my husband once went on a journey to train as a warrior in order to improve his blacksmithing skills. He accidentally slipped in some valley, and when he came to, he was being cared for by a group of dwarves.

"Oh, I didn't know that. ...... I had no idea. ......

No, he didn't go that far, as expected. But you can "see" it before you leave the village, right?　Isn't that why?　That's why my husband became the best blacksmith in town.

Hearing Leia's story, Magmael nodded his head in understanding.

I see. So you can say that the skills of a blacksmith in the real world are quite good, right?

Yes, that's what I mean. If by any chance you could get the cooperation of the dwarves, wouldn't that make your wish come true?　Like the "sacrament" that these children have.

I understand. Then I will search for the dwarves' village, just as you said, Leia!

"Yes, do that. And if you can get their cooperation and get the best weapon you like, then--"

Leia-san broke off at that point and said with a sly grin.

In return for the reward, introduce me to someone who seems to be interested in the subject. I'll take you on as an apprentice if I have to.

"Hey, hey, mom!

I'll take you on as an apprentice if you don't mind.　If I can save the world with that, it's a small price to pay.

I nodded my head and said to Leia, who laughed at me in that exuberant manner.

I understand. If there is such a Dwarf, I will definitely introduce him to you.

Yes, please do.

We laughed at each other and left Rahula Arms.

I'm sure I'll introduce you to Leia if I find her.

We returned to the inn and immediately discussed the whereabouts of the dwarves.

The quickest way to find out was to ask someone who might know.

The most likely candidates would be the goddesses.

"Oh, even my old lady knew about them."

I see. The nearest goddess from here would be Terra, who is beyond Algren?

Yes, that's right. She is also the goddess of the earth, and she knows a lot about earthly things.

Yes, I would like to meet other goddesses too.

I nodded and said to the girls.

I nodded my head and said, "Okay, I understand. Then we will go to Terra in the morning. I'm sure she'll have some information for us.

「「「「「--」」」」」

With the girls nodding in unison, I hurried off to visit Terra the next morning.
