Infinite Gacha - Chapter 114

A book summarizing "The Manufacture of the Forbidden Sword" can be found at ....... How did a racial (human) merchant get his hands on such a thing?　It's not a fake, is it? ......"

It's not a fake," he said. I got it by accident.

He narrates.

While peddling, he happened to find a group of fallen adventurers.

They had died after escaping from ruins or dungeons, perhaps attacked by monsters. While scavenging the corpses for saleable items, he apparently found an old book that contained instructions on how to "manufacture the forbidden sword.

(Not an unlikely possibility. ......)

Nano mutters in his chest.

In fact, there were a certain number of adventurers who lost their lives due to a monster's surprise attack while traveling in a worn-out state after escaping from a dungeon or ruins.

The books excavated from the ruins range from those with grammar similar to that of the present day to those that need to be deciphered. At the moment, it is not yet a factor that can determine that the ancient book in his hands is a fake.

Hisomi's words were undeniable.

He continues.

At first I thought of selling it to the back, but I soon realized that it would be sold for not much money, or worse, I would only be blamed for the crime and the goods would be taken away from me. But it was too good to throw away, and when I was ...... wondering what to do with it, I heard a rumor about NANO-sama," he said. I heard that he wants to create a 'legendary weapon'?"

............"

Nanno narrows his eyes.

He is not hiding it, so anyone who does a little research can find out that NANO is trying to create a "legendary weapon.

I can't tell you how many times I've been tangled up with pushy merchants because of this.

I heard that Nano has made a fortune as an adventurer and has earned a large amount of money. When I heard this rumor, I realized, 'Hissomi, this is the blessing that the Goddess has bestowed upon you,' and I brought you this story."

Hisomi's stinky smile deepens further.

I want to own my own restaurant," he said. However, the only way for a human being to run a store is to save and acquire it from generation to generation, or to win a fortune as an adventurer, or to be lucky enough to get a patron to open a store. I am the first generation, and there is no way for me to win a fortune or borrow money. No matter how hard I try, it will be impossible for me to open a store in this lifetime in the usual way. But I really want my own store!

"............"

...... How about it, Mr. Nanno? I am sure you can understand why I brought this book to Mr. NANO, even though it is a dangerous bridge to cross. For a human being, it is a big dream to have his own store. For that purpose, we will cross even dangerous bridges. ......I am proud to say that it was not a bad bet based on Mr. Nano's reaction.

As the merchant pointed out, Nano was excited in his heart, although he did not show it.

The "Forbidden Sword" is a cursed sword, but it is also true that the "Forbidden Sword" exists among the "legendary weapons" that appear in heroic tales. There are actually stories in which heroes wield their power by suppressing curses with their strong mental strength.

The book that describes how to manufacture it is right in front of you!

Dreaming of manufacturing the "legendary weapon," he also participated in the search for "Master. Even after Wright's elimination, he declined the reward for his success, and after he was rejected, he even tried to find "Master" on his own, believing that it would be an important opportunity to manufacture the "legendary weapon.

The means to get closer to that dream is now in front of me.

Even if it is a "forbidden sword," a "cursed weapon," or an "evil sword.

I will test my opponent while making an effort not to show my inner excitement.

This is because there is a possibility that this is a trap to set you up.

...... Do you really think I will pay him?　First of all, I don't have to pay you anything, but I can kill you, copy your books, and hand you over to the soldiers as the main culprit along with your corpse."

Nano threatens to kill him while leaking his murderous intent.

Hithomi, taking the killing blow from a level 300 or so dwarf species head-on, tells him the words.

I have half of the books in my hand. The other half is kept in a place known only to me. If you kill me, you will never get the other half. If you are skilled enough to torture me in this cramped room with someone in the next room, please feel free to try."

I said, "...... Tsk, it's all so calculated. This is why I hate merchants.

I'm flattered by your compliments.

Nano spat out a line, to which Hisomi bowed with a theatrical motion.

I didn't like his pretentious attitude, but I finally realized that he was serious about selling the book on "Forbidden Sword Manufacturing" from his unwavering stance even when faced with the serious murderous intent of a level 300 sword.

(You want to own your own store, even if it's a dangerous bridge as he said. ...... It's a dream for a racial (human) merchant), Nano muttered in his chest.

When Hisomi looks up, he takes out the "Forbidden Sword Manufacturing" book from his leather bag and offers it to Nano.

He accepted the "Forbidden Sword Making" book, suppressing his inner excitement.

I'll give you the money. Give me the other half.

Please inspect the contents first. Once Master Nanno is satisfied and we have received the specified amount, we will give you the rest.

Tsk, merchants really are shrewd. All right, I'll call on him as soon as I'm ready."

That's what I'm talking about, Mr. Nanno!　Thank you!　Now I can have my own store!"

Hisomi unexpectedly raises a squeal of delight.

The two immediately set about finding a way to contact each other, a way to receive the large sum of money without attracting suspicion, and a way to prepare two copies of the contract, each signed by both parties and held by one of them, among other details. The two sides exchanged information.

Thanks to this, NANO had not even been able to read through the "Forbidden Sword Manufacturing" book (half of it), even though he had received it.

When he finally completed the necessary exchanges, HISOMI told him, squinting and rubbing her hands together.

If Nano-sama needs anything for manufacturing after ......, please contact me and I will prepare it for you immediately.

"Hmm!　You're trying to pick up a little money, too? What a shrewd fellow you are.

Thank you very much. That is the highest compliment a merchant can receive.

Nanno lets out a lighthearted remark, half sarcasm, half intimacy of sharing each other's inaccessible secrets.

Hisomi responded with a sly smile that did not dampen his good mood.

After the exchange, HISOMI leaves the room.

Nano, who is left behind, finally looks down at the "Forbidden Sword Manufacturing" book.

I was so upset when I found out that I would never be able to search for "Master" again because of that d*mned light (trash), but ...... it seems that my luck has turned around!

Nanno was so excited that he forgot to eat or sleep and devoured the "Forbidden Sword Manufacturing" book.

Meanwhile, HISOMI, the human trader who left his room, also laughed.

It is not the smile of a man who has crossed a dangerous bridge and concluded a big business deal.

He smiles as if to say, "I don't feel any danger at all.

Now, I wonder if the "Giant Tower" will be involved in this matter or not. ......

His soliloquy was lost in the hustle and bustle of the Dwarven capital and melted away, unheard by anyone.
