Chapter 74

「h.e.l.lo~」

「Ou, it’s were, huh. I was waiting for you」

Today, we are visiting the blacksmith which we visited on the day we arrived in Bailey.

When we enter the store, Boss was repairing weapons lined up on the shelf. Even though there seem to be other people to tend the store, he also has a disciple like Rudius-san, and yet Boss is performing the actions with a good feeling as if learned by heart.

「Oy, Rudi. Niichan has come~ Quickly bring your work of art over~!」

「W, wait a moment please~!!」

In order to bring the items we have ordered, Boss immediately called Rudius-san who inside. Rudius-san’s voice returned from a distance.

「Sorry about that. It seems that fellow worked to the very last moment」

「I’m looking forward to it」

Rudius-san was apparently working to the very last moment.

Boss said so exhaustedly, but I’m looking forward to it if he’s so concerned about it.

「Then, I will hand you over this first」

Saying that, Boss pointed at the gloves, breast plate, and gauntlet from Evil Viper skin lined at the counter. In addition, a gauntlet for Allen made from a different material.

I pick up the articles one by one and confirm their completion.

「Thank you very much. All of them have been made nicely」

「That’s excellent to hear. Evil Viper’s skin is really good material. I’ve been able to get a good experience too. Thank you」

When I thank for the various articles, Boss gave me his impressions about Evil Viper’s skin in return.

This and that about tanning, manufacturing progress…… he talked a lot. I didn’t understand over a half of that, but I couldn’t find the timing to stop him, so I decided to listen to Boss’ impressions for a while.

「So, Niichan. Did you not bring the hawk you are keeping?」

「…… Speaking of being here, then he is」

Boss was satisfied after talking about the manufacturing, but his next topic was about the hawk. Namely, it’s about Bolt.

「N? Is he outside? Since you have the chance, how about trying it?」

「I don’t mind. Since it’s a hawk Niichan is keeping, I feel like it will be something incredible. Please, try it out by all means」

Yesterday, the existence of my contracted beasts came to light, so even if I’m unwilling…… isn’t it fine?

「In that case……――Bolt」

Boss has given me his permission, so I put the gauntlet on my arm and called Bolt at once.

『Piiii~』

「Wwha!?」

When Bolt flew out of my shadow, Boss raised his voice in surprise. It’s startling after all~

Un, the gauntlet feels nice. With this, Bolt will be able to land on my arm even if I’m not wearing a coat.

「Oy, oy, oy! Niichan, isn’t that a Thunderhawk!」

『Pyuru』

「…… Niichan is full of surprises. I really didn’t think that a Thunderhawk would come out. Haa~ to think there would be a day I would be able to get so close to a Thunderhawk……」

It appears that Boss has expected that I would bring a monster instead of an ordinary hawk, but as I thought, he didn’t expect that I would bring the pinnacle of the hawk cla.s.s monsters.

Because he was already plentily startled by the materials I have brought――Leviathan’s scale, Evil Viper’s skin, Mithril Spider’s thread, he nodded in consent just a little while after being surprised by Bolt. Far from that, he began observing Bolt.

「Onii~chan! Allen too~」

「Un!」

After I move Bolt from my arm to my shoulder, I place a gauntlet on Allen’s arm he presented.

「Bolt~ come~」

『Piii』

When Allen called Bolt, Bolt moved from my shoulder to Allen’s arm.

When Bolt landed on the arm of the small Allen, Bolt looked truly big~

「Ohh~! Bolt, good child~」

『Piii』

Allen started patting Bolt who landed on top of his arm.

「Elena too~ Bolt, good child~」

『Piii』

Elena got closer to Allen and Bolt too and started patting Bolt.

While the calm and gentle mood just started flowing, Rudius-san came out from the depths of the store.

「Thank you for waiti…… wha!! Why is a Thunderhawk in here!?」

He noticed Bolt before anything else.

「Niichan is keeping that one」

「Rather than that Rudi, you are late. Will you not promptly show the articles!」

「Y, yesss, I’m sorry. These are the requested articles」

Pestered by Boss, Rudius-san swallowed his surprise and lined up three pendants on top of the counter.

The second one is a drop shaped fragment of the scale intertwined with a vine and small flower motifs. This one is surely Elena’s.

The third one is a circle shaped fragment with a snake…… no, a water dragon’s motif? Its lengthy body is looped, it’s the design where the dragon holds its tail in its mouth.
