No way. I’ll be troubled if you suddenly ask me that kind of thing.
Ah… How should I answer… I definitely shouldn’t say ‘I can make it’. How about ‘I can make a rubbish one‘? But I’m still going to be troubled if he tells me to give it a try. Or I can just go with ‘I can’t make it’, right?
No, wait. Master’s line of sight turned from puzzlement to conviction. My pause when thinking for an answer was the same as saying that I could make it… I made a mistake.
Ahh, it couldn’t be helped.
“It’s not like I can’t make it. But it’ll be hard for me to meet your expectations.”
If I’m going to fool him, I should say something like this.
“So you can make it, huh… No, I was just asking you to make sure. It turns out you’re capable of it… Then, hmm…”
Hey, Master!? You were tricking me!? Wasn’t that a bit too awful!? No, I was also a fool for falling into his trap! Nah, I was a real fool for forgetting to just deny on the spot…
I glanced at Vector. He had a surprised look. Of course, he would have that expression. It’s unthinkable that a kid like me could forge a mana sword.
“Can you forge a mana sword? How skillful are you?”
“As I said earlier, I won’t be able to meet your expectations. So I refuse.”
“Ah, um… Right, I should explain the situation before making a request. Actually…”
Hey, no one asked that, though?
Plus Master was lost in thought after hearing my answer. Looking at his condition, he was probably convinced that I was lying.
However, I had no intention of taking this request. Even if they explained their circumstances to me, that wouldn’t change.
This was an opportunity to deal with rare materials, considering the trouble that may occur after getting involved with a royal family member. Only trouble will await me if I accept it.
If I showed my ability to forge a mana sword to royalty, he might want to monopolize me. Even if that didn’t happen, dozens of troubles would come once he knew that I could make a mana sword amazing enough to be used for defeating a Master of Winter. I flatly refused all of that.
I didn’t have to rush to take the opportunity to handle rare materials since I would have many in the future. I think I have enough money to buy it.
Boss, could you please not say anything unnecessarily at times like this too! I glared at him, but he averted his eyes guiltily. The heck!
“Actually, the current Master of Winter is the same monster I chased off three years ago. I managed to wound him last time, but I couldn’t deal a finishing blow. But it didn’t show up again next year. Everyone concluded that it died somewhere. Then it appeared last year. It probably didn’t show up the previous year because it saved up the energy to heal its wounds… Half of the people who went to subjugate the Master of Winter when it appeared last year were crushed. Most of the survivors were injured and suffered after-effects.”
Hmm. How can I say this? It sounds pretty bad. But even if he told me that, this was not my problem.
In the first place, this was high-ranking adventures and knights’ duty to get rid of such dangerous creatures. And the adventurers should have expected that they would get injured when they chose this occupation.
Well, you might say that I should cooperate to maintain the peace of my homeland, but I paid taxes for this kind of situation. Thinking about it, I paid a lot of taxes from the income of my patent fees.
