Chapter 93 - Requesting from Master
「Hello . 」
Master smiled broadly from Kazane's greeting .
「Oh . Kazane, isn't it? Jinrai and Yumika are also with you today . 」
「Ehehe, hello . 」
「It's been a while, Johnz . 」
The two people behind Kazane greeted Master .
「I heard the story . Accompanying the Prince-sama for a dragon extermination . Such daring things you have the nerve to do, truly . 」
Kazane and the others were astonished by the speed of Master's information, but as a representative of the Zenith Firm his intelligence network was capable of that much .
It had been a day since Kazane and the others had met the two dragons Ao and Aka . Kazane's group officially received the request, and thus also received the Dragon Heart . However, since Ao said they could do as they wished and they didn't need to hurry, they decided to rest a bit due to their dungeon exploration fatigue, and they went back to Winlard for now to make preparations for the future .
Ao's player remark yesterday also certainly surprised Kazane and Yumika,
「I have been staying in the Dragon Village for a long time, so I haven't had much contact with other people . I have met a few other players, though . 」
He wouldn't say any more than that . It seemed that he did not clear the first lap, so he could not call any summoned Heroic Spirits and couldn't even enter the Coral Temple . Kazane and Yuuko-nee had thought before『maybe now is treated as the second lap, even if the first wasn't cleared?』but it seemed that speculation was incorrect .
After that Kazane's group immediately heard the name of the dungeon that might have a gate to the original world from Yuuko-nee .
「Rank A dungeon『Gordo Golden Ruins』?」
Master heard the name from Kazane and frowned .
「To be sure, there were a variety of troublesome problems with that place because it's close to the border with Soldard . Since high rank adventurers didn't go very often the capture stopped midway, and during that time it became a troublesome rank A dungeon . After ten years they'll probably have to seal it . 」
「Seems that way . We want to assault the deepest levels . 」
Kazane also said「well, we defeated a dragon, so we don't intend to stop,」and Master looked at her .
「If you want to go I won't stop you . I'm planning to move over there before long, so in a sense I would welcome it . 」
「Seriously?」
Master nodded to Kazane .
「The stalemate with Soldard was finally lifted half a month ago . Prominent domestic and foreign adventurers are now gathering in the dungeon city Gordias . There are powerful Childstone holders and rare materials in swarms . It's the kind of place that makes a weapon workshop owner's mouth water . 」
(Is that why you told me to talk to Master, Yuuko-nee?)
Kazane muttered in her mind .
「But even though you went to the halfway point of Rock Hold, an A rank dungeon conquest is considerably difficult . Be careful . 」
「Yeah . We're not planning to go immediately, but once we go I think I will make various requests of you . 」
「Understood . So I'm guessing that asking about that wasn't the only reason you came today?」
「Yeah . Perhaps since the story already came?」
Master smiled with a meaningful grin as he shook his head .
「Those items have already arrived . The Dragon Burial Soil has already turned into Magic Clay since the Flying Dragon Postal Service travels at tremendous speed . I'm guessing you were impatient and made use of some connections, right?」
Master said, then asked Kazane .
「So, what should I make next?」
Since Kazane didn't bring the items to the workshop herself it seemed she wanted something done as quickly as possible, and she nodded at Master's gaze .
「Yeah . First of all I would like you to strengthen Tatsuyoshi-kun's body with the dragon bones . 」
Kazane said, and Master said「I was expecting that . 」
「If possible I'd also like to improve the defense by incorporating an Indestructible Futon . 」
「If that's the case the transformation mechanism may be an obstacle . 」
Master started imagining after Kazane's words and pointed out a problem .
「If it's segmented like this I think it will take care of that . 」
Kazane made a simple drawing and showed it to Master . It was quite professional compared to before, since she had practically reassembled Tatsuyoshi-kun and learned from the blueprint how to draw her own, but also important was that with her growth in Wisdom her power of understanding also increased, and since she could get a rough estimation from『Intuition』she was able to draw the lines with fine adjustments without hesitating .
「I see . It is certainly true that if the transformation mechanism segments are shortened and the amount of Muscle Clay is increased it shouldn't be bad . Is it fine that preparing two Mysterious Bags will be necessary?」
「I've saved up a splendid amount of money, so there is no problem . 」
Kazane said, then continued .
「And then two Tatsuyoshi-kun exclusively for throwing . They won't require Mysterious Bags . 」
「So how are you going to carry them?」
After Master's remark Kazane took out a different diagram with an evil smile .
「I'm going to make a dedicated Hippo-kun, and I plan to put them on it . 」
「Hm . 」
Master examined the diagram and considered . Kazane arranged to use an existing armor harness and add Muscle Clay to the interior, then add some gimmicks like the two helmet-shaped Tatsuyoshi-kun inlaid on both sides .
「Well, there's no reason we won't be able to build this . If Mondorie stays up all night he should be able to assemble just the horse by tomorrow . We should have a few full plate armor harnesses, but do you have enough money for ones with light weight enchantments?」
Kazane's wallet was considerably flush with cash from the dragon extermination reward and the liquidation of dungeon materials .
「Of course . 」
With a bang Kazane placed coin bags containing all her wealth on the table . Jinrai was surprised, and Yumika grumbled「really, don't use it all so quickly . 」Master checked the contents and returned about half .
「This much should be fine . Tatsuyoshi-kun already has a blueprint, and you handled the dragon bones and Muscle Clay yourself . Well, if it turns out to be insufficient I will give you a bill for the rest . 」
Kazane put the returned coin bags in her Item Box .
「How long do you think it will take?」
「Since the war preparations are terminated we have a lot of manpower, so under Mondorie's direction it will be made at lightning speed and should be ready in about one week . 」
「Is that okay?」
Kazane wasn't sure it was okay to spare that many people for her own sake, but when Master heard that he laughed the hardest he had in a long time .
「There's no problem . We'll have to send home the temporarily assembled master blacksmiths until the next big job comes in, so stopgap work will be warmly welcomed . Well, that matter is fine, but will you be here until then?」
Kazane nodded and said「we'll be here . 」
「We're planning to go to Conrad's hot spring, but we're returning to the Royal Capital and this is in the same direction, so returning in a week is fine . 」
「Ah, a hot spring . Come to think of it, didn't I hear something about that?」
Master said while he tried to remember .
「Maybe Master heard about it when we came this way last time?」
Yuuko-nee could have told him such a thing .
「It's coming back to me . I'm an outsider, but if I remember correctly a scary older woman representative named Makka was going that way to arrange the building of lodgings and other things . 」
「Since we're suddenly going I wonder if we will be allowed to enter the hot spring?」
They may not be accommodated by an unknown person .
「It's fine, you're the owner of the source . 」
「Eh, here too?」
After Master's calm remark Kazane blinked in surprise .
「I heard that you entered the merchant guild? It seems our Queen immediately handled the formalities . They're certainly saying a Zenith Firm sightseeing division member was appointed . 」
「I haven't heard anything about this!」
Kazane's situation was gradually becoming complicated before the person herself was aware .
「Well, when royalty is involved it is natural for absurd things to occur . It's no use minding it . The only thing to do is accept it . 」
Master's words were the words of an experienced person .
「So the delivery date is in one week, but for now the horse will be prepared by tomorrow, since you will need to adjust it . That took a reasonably long time for Tatsuyoshi-kun the first time, didn't it?」
「That's right . I'll come back tomorrow, so for now my request is concluded . Jinrai has business as well, right?」
Kazane said and looked at Jinrai .
「Umu, this is my business . 」
Saying so Jinrai lifted one arm from his waist and placed down two dragon fangs in quick succession .
「Hee . 」
Master's eyes glittered .
