Isekai ni Kita Boku wa Kiyoubinbode Subaya-sa Tayorina Tabi o Suru Chapter 86

“Hellooo . I’d like to buy some weapons . ”

Kasil Arms Shop was empty . Was it closed then? I wondered, but then again, the door was unlocked . The walls of the store were lined with all kinds of weapons . None of them were fancy-looking . Their designs clearly focused on practicality and function .

And then maybe there was just a small embellishment added to make them distinct . I liked their way of doing things .

“There’s no one here . ”

“Maybe they are in the back?”

“Should we really just walk in here?”

“It is not our fault that there is no one here . If anything, we should make sure that they will not be inviting any thieves in . ”

“Maybe you’re right…I’ll take a look . ”

“Yes . I will wait out here . ”

As the owner seemed to have no intention of appearing, I talked about it with Daniela and decided to go towards the back from behind the counter .

There was a hallway behind the door, and there was a light on . Hello? I call as check the doors .

“Ah, it’s hot…a smithy…? Hello . Anyone here?”

I came out into a large room that was illuminated by the light of a furnace . It was incredibly warm inside, perhaps because the door was closed . I was being steamed alive .

“It’s damn hot…but still, it would probably be much worse without this ice dragon armor…”

Flames were bursting from inside of the furnace . Hot air shot out and wrecked my hair . I really needed a haircut… I looked around the room, but I couldn’t see anyone .

“Hmm…I wouldn’t be surprised if someone fainted in this heat, but it doesn’t look to be the…what!?”

I wiped at the sweat on my forehead and turned around to leave, and saw someone on the floor behind the door . A bushy beard . A hammer in hand . A blacksmith in appearance . Judging by his state, it looked like he had lost consciousness while trying to escape from the room . It had been completely out of my vision . I frantically ran over to him and tried to pull him up, but he was too heavy . And so I had no choice but to drag him out of the room .

“Damn, you’re heavy… . but we need to get you some help!”

I took out a blanket from the hollow bag that we used when out camping and somehow managed to roll the blacksmith onto it . Next, I created a block of ice with magic . I didn’t think about it too much as the thing cracked and creaked into shape on my palm . Then I put the ice blocks near his neck, under his arms, and around his feet . And lastly, I froze a wet towel and placed it over his forehead .

“I guess that just about does it…”

I was pretty sure that this was how to deal with it . There were a lot of shows on tv that taught you about this in the summer…it’s a good thing I gave them the minimum amount of my attention necessary . Yes!

“I was getting worried because you were late…what happened here?”

“Ah, Daniela . This guy passed out in the smithy . It was ridiculously hot in there, so it might be a heatstroke . ”

“A heatstroke…is that what happens when you are in a very hot place?”

“You could say that . It happens when you are dehydrated and your salt is depleted . ”

“I see…we must be careful when we visit volcanic mountains . ”

I was about to ask when we had ever decided to visit a volcanic mountain, but the then the blacksmith suddenly groaned and opened his eyes .

“Mmm, mm…”

“Oh, are you awake? How do you feel?”

“Aghhh…my head…who the hell are you…”

He seemed too dazed to stand up and continued to stare at the ceiling . But he could at least reply to my questions . That was good .

“A customer . There was no one around when we came in, so I tried to look around, and you had fainted in the smithy . ”

“Mgahhh…yes, I was working . I do remember trying to leave the room after feeling dizzy…but I couldn’t…”

“Yes . You were just one step short of the door, too . ”

He was so close . It really was too bad . I guess it showed how preoccupied he had been with his work . He needed to be more careful if he wanted to continue to work . That was a big problem for me, as I needed to buy weapons .

“Sorry…thank you for the help . I am fine now . Let’s go to the store . ”

“Are you sure? You don’t have to push yourself, alright?”

“Ah, this is nothing…oh, oh, still a little shaky . ”

Maybe he didn’t understand the meaning of fine?

“Ah, you’ll have to pardon me . But I have to sit down because of my head . So you want weapons, eh? What kind of weapons?”

Blacksmith Kasil sat down on a chair behind the counter and looked up at me as we started to talk business .

“A one-handed straight sword . And a short sword . Something light and durable would be great . ”

“Hmm…well…ah, sorry . Could you bring that one on the shelf over there… . Yes, that one . That would be the very light model of our one-handed straight sword . ”

I tried holding the sword that he had indicated . It really was light . About the same as an iron sword . However, the color of the blade was not that of iron .

“What is this made of?”

“That one is made from the carved fang of a leva tiger . It’s a fine piece, made from the strongest and longest tooth . They say that there is nearly nothing that that tiger’s fangs cannot cut through . And now it’s been reshaped and polished . I dare say that you will be able to sever almost anything with it . Though, it won’t be cheap . People don’t go killing leva tigers until their at least Ruby Rank . ”

He was a lot more talkative than what I’d expect for a man who was unconscious a few minutes ago…but some people liked to talk when it was related to their profession…

Apparently, this Ruby Rank was Rank A within the guild . In terms of levels, it started from 81 .

This was quite a sword… It seemed kind of insane to sharpen a fang that could cut anything . What would happen if my hand slipped… However, I didn’t require something of this caliber right now . It was not something I was confident that I could handle . And how was this in a sheath if it could cut through everything? Quite the contradiction there .

“Ah, I can see it in your face . You are wondering how it is in a sheath, aren’t you? But this isn’t just any ordinary sheath . This sheath has an enchantment of Indestructibility . In other words, it will not break . It cannot be cut . That also brings the price up quite a lot . ”

“That seems like it would be a very difficult enchantment to cast . ”

“Indeed . It is beyond what an ordinary enchanter could do . I had it especially done by a famous enchanter . ”

Huh, you don’t say .

“And what was this enchanter’s name?”

“Ah? Are you interested then, young lady?”

Daniela intruded! We were supposed to be more careful!

“Her name is Rachel Vanargand . She does not stay at any one location, so meeting her is close to a miracle . It certainly was for me . I believe she was headed for the Lambrusen republic next . ”

“Rachel…Vanargand…”

Daniela repeated the name as if to carve it into her memory . Lambrusen huh…I guess we just missed her . This Rachel Vanargand was likely the enchanter that Nick had talked about . Not the person who enchanted my equipment, though .

But the name Vanargand caught my interest . Vanargand was another name for the wolf god, Fenrir . The wolf that swallowed Odin during Ragnarok . Wolf . A wolf . It was also a wolf that had granted me Legs of the Forest Wolf .

“So, have you decided on it?”

Kasil’s voice brought me back to the present . I looked at the sword in my hand and shook my head .

“I think I’ll go with something a little more simple . ”

“I see . Then try the sword next to it . I think that it should satisfy you . It has no fancy enchantments . It is a simple sword that excels in durability . That sword was made by heating armor stone to such a temperature that even a pyromancer would be shocked by . Unfortunately, it is on the heavy side . ”

I pick up the sword that he suggested . This sword that pursued durability definitely was hefty . A little more so than a steel sword . It had no unnecessary embellishments, making it no heavier than what was absolutely necessary . Taking it out of its sheath showed that the blade was an oxidized silver . The matte surface did not reflect my face .

“Does this sword have a name?”

“Does this sword have a name?”

“Aye, it does . The Glampanzer . ”

“Glampanzer…armored demon sword . ”

A sword that is named after armor . I like it . I choose you!

“I’ll take it . ”

“Good choice! That will be thirty-five gold pieces!”

“Expensive!”

“I’ll make it twenty . Since you helped me!”

“Bought!”

I brought out twenty gold pieces from the hollow bag and handed them over to Kasil . He carefully counted them one by one before putting them in a safe .

“Now, a short sword is it? I suppose you want this one to be very durable as well?”

“Yes . Functionality and durability for me . ”

“Understood . Hmm, behind that shelf over there…”

And so this passionate business between us men continued . It goes without saying, that Daniela was not too amused at being completely abandoned, and made it very clear to me later on .

Ultimately, I was not able to come to a decision, and so I had to go again on the next day . Daniela had stormed away, saying she would do something on her own this time . And so I swore that I would buy her something sweet on the way back, as I opened the door to Kasil’s Arms Shop once again .

“Hellooo . I’d like to buy some weapons . ”.

Kasil Arms Shop was empty . Was it closed then? I wondered, but then again, the door was unlocked . The walls of the store were lined with all kinds of weapons . None of them were fancy-looking . Their designs clearly focused on practicality and function
