Starting from this chapter onwards, I made a lot of changes in the story. From the big events to the minor ones. Hope you like it!

Kiyomoru POV:

Problems won't really solve itself if it's left alone. No matter how much help you ask to someone else's, in the end, you'll end up solving the problem yourself.

In Kaijin's case, it is totally different. He doesn't have anyone to rely his problems on. Being an artisan himself, the task given to him by this Vesta person needs to be done next week.

Due to the lack of Magic Ores here in the kingdom, blacksmiths here and there all over the place, including Kaijin, cannot do a single sword. Kaijin has his own theory though.

He thinks that Vesta planned this all along, that he bought all of the Magic Ores and hid it in the kingdom's supplies. Regular townspeople cannot access this, unless the kingdom's position is in danger.

The swords are needed by a 'stupid kingdom' in their war. It doesn't have anything to do with the Dwargons, but the request is accepted by the King himself.

And that theory is the most accurate and acceptable one in this situation. Vesta is said to hold a deep grudge- or more like jealousy to Kaijin.

Why?

Because the King Gazel Dwargo paid his attention on Kaijin's ability so much that he forgot about his minister. He even invited him to the palace, but Kaijin humbly turned him down.

I only have a rough grasp on this conflict, but the more information I get, the faster I can solve this problem, even on my own. Though, that's what I'm going to say back in my previous world, but this world isn't really similar back there.

I digested out pure and natural Magic Ores. The entire piece is magisteel of course. I won't give some low budget materials on someone.

Well, not anymore

Kaijin looked at it, and his mouth opened in surprised. Of course, the same can be said on the three brothers. Kaido seems to be used to my surprises though, so it seems.

"Give and take, Kaijin. Make the sword, right here, right now. If you can do that much, we both have favors. Is that fine?"

He seems perplexed about what I said- or more like his decision. If a person with ability doubts his self without doing something first hand, then the outcome will surely head the way he thinks it will be.

A massive failure

"O-Of course! Normally, it'll take a day to finish this, but considering the purity of this... I-I'll do it!" He exclaimed.

I only nodded and left the shop.

"Where are you going?" Kaido asked me while he turned his gaze at the door.

"Somewhere."

Thankfully, Kaido left the door opened. Considering my height in this form, I need to jump and turn the knob with my body. That'll be troublesome.

Anyway, I need to gather as much information as possible while I still have my free time. I need to make my move today, so that the plan will be played out by the time Kaijin finishes his job. I gotta go initiate and contact him.

With that in mind, I proceeded to left the shop and find the said person.

It only took me a few hours- or 1 hour, 32 minutes and 17 seconds to complete my deal with him. Of course, I needed to add lies here and there. But overall, the negotiations ended up favoring me.
