Chapter 79 – Ep.79 Smith, a Black Company in Another World
“Then I’ll be back.”
“Yep. Ah, Gienna. “Can you just buy me a carton of milk when I come back?”
“Of course.”
Gina gave her a small nod, then walked out the door and headed to her guild.
Left alone at home, I stretched out and went down to the basement.
It was originally used as a training ground for Kernax, but with the new construction, it became simply a large space with nothing in it.
There were as many as ten heavy-looking sacks placed in a corner of the spacious basement.
Last night, people sent by the administrator quietly visited the house, moved them to the basement, and returned.
“By the way, are there 305 people?”
I opened the mouth of one of the sacks and put my hand in.
“Storage of sacred materials.”
In just three words, the iron ingots that were filling the bag disappeared as if they had disappeared.
《Material Storage List》
◎Pure iron: 481kg
◎Kana tree: 2.3kg
“And…”
I couldn’t help but gape at the numbers that appeared before my eyes.
It was said that one sack contained roughly 480 kg of iron.
If you look at it from the perspective of an ordinary blacksmith, it will definitely not be that much. But I am not a blacksmith at an ordinary blacksmith shop.
He is a crappy Smith who can use some crappy abilities.
“Is it true that there are 400 in one sack?”
Even if you make enough night fairies (2 kg), you can make 200 of them.
It was truly a huge amount.
“If you really intend to cheat… “It might be possible to buy a city.”
In order to do that, you will definitely need your own workshop that can avoid the attention of others… I thought it would be best to just ask Kernax and continue using this place.
“Then, let’s just make 20 for now.”
This is because the number of ingots in the bag was 20.
“I told my sister it was Ohal, but I think it needs to be at least mk.2 before I can feel at ease.”
I boldly made 20 Night Fairies (2kg).
This convenience can be created with just a few clicks.
To be honest, before I realized this ability and connected with Siron, I really resented and cursed them for sending me to this world, but now I just feel so fucking grateful.
Of course, sometimes I wonder about my parents’ well-being, but since my seniors who were out of their minds told me that there was no need to worry about my family, I didn’t worry too much about it.
“Hmm… Wouldn’t it be nice to wear it on your arm too?”
I remembered a few days ago when my sister told me how much I could use my stockings.
I don’t plan on making full body stockings because my sister told me never to make anything like full body stockings, but like she said, if I wear them on my arms and around things like ships and shields, the soldiers will be much safer.
“Just put it on your arm… “If you want to tie it around your body, separate pairs of pantyhose are much more convenient and more versatile than pantyhose, right?”
You stupid fucking Smith.
Why didn’t I think of that sooner?
Why did I keep insisting on pantyhose?
I sighed at my own patheticness and reduced all of the 20 stockings I had made back to materials.
“See… This is not a design, it will be used in battle. “It would be okay to keep the design roughly simple.”
I opened a new design slot and quickly drew a pair of thigh-high stockings and created 20 new ones.
“Okay. This is it. “How comfortable.”
I tried pulling up the stockings on both legs and arms.
The fit on the legs was very good, but the hands were a little awkward.
It seemed like the place where the finger should go was flat.
Wiggle wiggle.
I looked at the stocking in my hand and thought.
“If you make these into toe socks, wouldn’t you be able to just use them like shorter gloves?”
Then, it will look much better and you can sell it by saying that it is meant to be worn on the arm, not the leg in the first place.
“Let’s just make sure it’s roughly made.”
Since it was a problem whether it could be made, I roughly changed the foot part of the stocking a little.
“This is it.”
Looking at the stockings, which were properly executed even though they were drawn for fingers rather than toes, I was impressed in two ways by the generosity of the system.
One was literally more generous than I expected, which surprised me, and the other…
“Three days, you need to get promoted quickly.”
No matter how much I thought about it, the difference between max level and low level was too big.
“Anyway, my legs and arms are fine with this, but what’s left is my body.”
I sat for a moment and thought about it.
How can I use these stockings to wrap them around my body to make it look a little more bulky?
“Hmm. “It would be best to just cut the body in half and put it on.”
No matter how much I racked my brain, I couldn’t think of a way to hide the magnificent pectorals of the women here.
After thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that the best thing to do would be to just cut one stocking in half, wrap it around the body, and secure it with some clothes.
“Okay, one leg. One arm. One body. “I think we can make three pairs of stockings for each person.”
Of course, I didn’t forget to change the design slots for each design.
I made a total of 60 night fairies (2kg) with different designs.
《Material Storage List》
◎Pure iron: 361kg
◎Kana tree: 2.3kg
There were so many ingredients left that it pricked my conscience.
“Anyway, where should I store this?”
There was something a little weird about just leaving it on the floor.
After a short thought, I emptied two more sacks and filled three sacks with different stockings and put them on the other side.
“Then let’s go up and make lunch.”
Now that Kernax’s house has been restored, it has become a routine for Siron to stop by the house at lunchtime, eat the lunch I made, and then leave.
I headed to the stairs to make lunch on time.
-Smith!!
“Ok?”
As I was going up the stairs, I was taken aback by Kernax’s voice calling me in a very urgent tone.
What.
It’s not even Shiron, but Kernax, calling me like that.
Did something big happen?
Feeling impatient, I quickly climbed up the stairs and came out.
“Cernax!! “I’m on the basement stairs!!”
Thud! Thud! Thud!
Kernax, who had never run at home, ran toward where I was, making loud footsteps.
“Smith!!”
“Uh, uhh. “I am here.”
He had rushed so quickly that beads of sweat were forming on Cernax’s face, and his bangs were also wet with sweat and sticking to his forehead.
“Smith!! “What do you mean?”
“I didn’t say anything?”
I was taken aback by Kernax’s sudden actions, grabbing both of my shoulders and shouting.
“They’re following me wherever I am!!”
“Uh? “Uh, huh?”
“Absolutely not!! “Just wait quietly at home!!”
I could see what Kernax’s face would look like when he was truly angry.
Kernax’s truly angry face was as scary as Siron’s angry face.
Ahhhhh!!
“Okay… It’s Kernax. “Please let go of this for now.”
“… Ha.”
When I spoke with a frown on his face, Cernax let out a deep sigh and lowered his hands that were pressing on both of my shoulders.
“…”
“…”
Heavy silence.
It was really heavy.
I didn’t know what to say.
Because I never thought he would get that angry just because I followed him.
“I… Cernax.”
“… “I’m sorry for yelling at you.”
“No. Are you okay.”
I was a bit surprised, but that was all.
Plus, I was a little touched because I knew that the reason he was so angry was because he was worried about me.
“Smith. “Why do you want to follow me?”
“Uh… That’s right. Kernax, I’m worried about you.”
“I am OK. I’m fine… “Rather, if you care about me, I hope you will wait for me here.”
“…”
“Smith.”
You held my hands tightly and looked at me with sad eyes.
When I saw Kernax’s appearance like that, I almost instantly answered, ‘I understand.’
To be honest, Cernax was 100% right.
If only he was an ordinary Smith.
However, the biggest reason I wanted to follow Kernax this time was not because I was worried about Kernax’s safety.
To put it bluntly, Kernax will not be any safer if I follow him, and there is no way I can help him in an emergency.
The biggest reason I wanted to follow Kernax this time was because I wanted to see with my own eyes how the stockings I made were used on the battlefield.
That way, I will be able to reflect my opinion when setting the right price.
I explained these reasons to Kernax.
“If that’s the case, there’s no need to leave the city. “You can show it by sparring between adventurers or by ordering soldiers right away.”
“Cernax. “You know that’s not what I want.”
“You… Why are you so fearless when it comes to men!! “Do you think it’s been a few days since you were kidnapped by a cult?!”
“…”
No, I wonder if you can pull out a blower here.
If you bring up a cult, I don’t have anything to say.
They were kidnapped not from anywhere else but from the guild’s backyard.
“Still…”
“I am absolutely against it. If you want to follow me, Smith. “I won’t accept your support!!”
“Cernax?”
I was embarrassed.
This is because Kernax suddenly took off the iron boots and gaiters he was wearing and then took off his pants.
“… “I won’t wear this either.”
Kernax said that and took off the stockings I had given him as a gift and handed them over to me.
Even in this serious situation, my lower body slightly reacted to the stockings that were filled with the warm smell of Kernax’s freshly removed flesh.
Anyway, it seemed like Kernax really didn’t want me to follow him.
There was no movement in the eyes at all.
For a moment, I looked at the stockings in my hand and Kernax’s firm thighs.
“… Huh.”
Fortunately, Kernax seemed to have enough sense to be aware of my gaze and carefully put on the clothes he had taken off.
“… Smith. “What is the answer?”
For the first time, Kernax asked me in a command tone.
“No.”
“… What?”
“Cernax. Honestly, sometimes I think I’m really stupid and ignorant. But what you’re doing now, even for such an idiot, I think it’s too unreasonable.”
“At all…”
“That’s far-fetched. Did I even ask the soldiers to escort you because I was following you? Nope. What if I follow you there? You’re not going to supply night fairies to your soldiers? “I still have doubts about whether that’s really what came out of your mouth.”
“…”
Kernax and I were silent as we stared into each other’s eyes.
“… I said clearly. Smith.”
“I said it too. For sure.”
It seemed that neither I nor Kernax had any intention of giving in to each other.
It was a time when we were glaring at each other in silence.
Growling.
“…”
“…”
Please note that the sound did not come from my stomach.
I glanced at Kernax.
I was able to watch Kernax’s face gradually turn red in real time.
“Ah, anyway, it will never happen!!”
Kernax shouted at me again and ran out of the house.
“… No, really, why are you doing that?”
As I stared at the half-open door, I felt the need to give this matter some serious thought.
