Smith， a Black Company in Another World 17

Chapter 17 – Ep.17 Smith, a Black Company in Another World

I was so captivated by Shiron’s butt in leggings that I even left the guild with my emergency fund.

“I think it was around this time.”

The problem is that I can’t find the blacksmith shop.

To be exact, everyone went to see the public punishment that took place today and closed early, so they couldn’t find the blacksmith shop that was still open.

“These vicious human traffickers!! “You’re disturbing me until the very end!!”

If you want to grind it, you have to grind it finely. How dare you interfere with the production of leggings for Siron.
It can’t be anything other than a bitch.

Anyway, I’m looking for a blacksmith shop that I occasionally visit to order bronze medals to hand out to those who are promoted from apprentice to equal level adventurer, but I’m wandering around unable to find my way.

“No, it was really like this, but was it ruined and closed?”

I definitely remember that compared to other blacksmith shops, it was located in a corner and was not that big.

“Useup… “Do I have to endure this until tomorrow?”

I can’t wait to wear Shiron’s leggings until tomorrow.
Is this some kind of new torture or something?

“Do I really have to go home empty-handed like this?”
“Is there any problem there?”

I slowly turned to the sound of a familiar voice.
The guard captain I had met at the east gate was standing there, wearing his light armor.

“Ah, guard captain.”
“Hmm. “I don’t remember seeing anyone like you.”

No, three beol. Do I look so different that I can’t even recognize my real face?
Well, it’s been a while since I washed my hair with a weird shampoo, smoothed it out, and trimmed it in various ways, but that doesn’t mean I can’t recognize real people’s faces?

“This is Smith, the guild receptionist.”
“… ?”

Look at this.
Just look at the way he tilts his head with a face that asks what nonsense.

“No, it’s really me Smith. “Didn’t you talk to me at the alumni hall?”
“… “Is it really that Smith?”
“Yes. It’s really that Smith. Take a look. “Isn’t the voice the same?”
“Hmm. Surely. “The voice is like that, and when I look closely, I think it’s Smith.”

After studying my face for a long time like a holy knight in a temple, the guard captain nodded and acknowledged that I was a Smith.

“Do I look that different?”
“If it weren’t for his hair and skin color, he could be considered a master from a prestigious noble family.”
“Before?”
“I’m just from a simple outskirts.”

No, it looks that different?
Seriously, I was really curious about how women here view men.

“Anyway, I didn’t mean to, but it seemed like I was in trouble. Is there a problem?”
“Oh, I have some business to do at the blacksmith shop, but they all close early.”
“Smithy? Is this an errand for the guild? No… “I heard that you have become the exclusive owner of adventurer Siron. Is this an errand for Siron?”
“… Did the rumor spread there?”
“Rumor? Oh, you mean you became Siron’s exclusive subordinate?”
“Yes. “That’s it.”
“Haha, it’s about you, the face of our city. “It’s impossible not to spread rumors.”

I am the face of Mallingta.
This is the first time I heard this story today.

“So you’re looking for a blacksmith shop? “I think I can help you with that.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes. A little while ago, I was on my way to request an inspection of the security guard’s equipment. “If there’s no stabbing while I’m chatting with you, I won’t close the door yet.”
“Oh oh!! Where is the forge?”
“Hmm.”

The guard captain cleared his throat for a moment and subtly avoided my eyes.

“Work hours are over, but the sun is slowly setting, so I’ll take you there.”
“Uh… Yes. Thank you.”

There was no need for that, so I could have just asked for directions, but since he seemed to have overcome his shame and suggested it, I nodded.

“Then. Please follow along.”

The guard leader stared at him for a moment, then shook his head and started walking.

So, I went around a few alleys.

“This is the place. Fortunately, it’s still open.”
“And… Thank you very much.”
“For a moment. “Please wait here.”
“Yes? Ah, yes.”

The security captain who stopped me from going in immediately went inside first.

“Hmm. “You may come in now.”
“… ?”

Well, I didn’t have to wait long, so I nodded and was able to enter the blacksmith shop.

On the walls of the blacksmith shop, which is neither large nor small, are swords and spears. Things like axes were lined up, and arrows and shields were displayed in another place.

Sigh. The door inside the counter opened with a sound.

A woman with normal blonde hair and a lot of soot on her face appeared.

“Meh, Marys!! “Didn’t I tell you to change your clothes?”
“No, it doesn’t matter what I wear in my workshop.”

Indeed.
I understood why the security captain had asked me to wait a moment as the pink nipples greeted me under a sweat-soaked white t-shirt.

“So? “What are you doing?”
“I want to buy some iron ingots.”
“Iron ingot? There’s nothing you can’t sell. But what are you going to use it for?”
“Hmm… “It’s a bit difficult to tell because it’s a personal reason.”
“Okay?”

The blacksmith named Meris, who had placed her breasts on the counter, glanced at me for a moment and then straightened up, leaving a clear imprint of Meris’ sweaty breasts on the counter.

“Wait a moment.”

Marys went back through the door she had opened, and she returned shortly afterwards with a rather round lump of iron in her hand, which she called an iron ingot.

“As you can see, if you don’t mind these, I’ll hand them over to you for 5 silver coins each.”
“Silver… Chapter 5?”

I was so shocked that a piece of iron the size of my palm cost more than two months’ salary that I almost fainted.

“5 silver coins is a very cheap price.”
“What Mary said is true. This is the price only offered by workshops that purchase in bulk, such as blacksmiths. “If an individual wants to purchase a small amount, they must give at least 8 silver coins.”

It couldn’t be possible, but the price was such that it made me shake my hands and feet to the point where I thought for a moment that the two beauties in front of me were trying to scam me.

So you’re not buying it?
Give up Siron’s leggings?
There is no way.

“Give me two.”
“Wait a moment.”

As I took her silver coins out of my pocket, Marys nodded and went inside to get another piece of iron.

“Well, the guard captain is right next to me, so I don’t think there’s any big bastard who would steal it, but just in case, I’ll give it to you as a service.”

Marys stuffed two iron ingots into her wide leather pouch and handed them to me.

Heavy.

“Kitchen… ?!”
“Puhuhuh!! “It’s a bit heavy for a man to lift.”

Marys giggled as she looked at me, her back arching after receiving her pouch.

“Are you okay?”
“Divination. It’s okay.”

Actually, it wasn’t okay at all.
How could a piece of iron be this heavy?

At most, the weight of a lump slightly larger than my fist was five times heavier than an oak barrel filled with water.

It was a truly ridiculous weight.
At the same time, I was surprised at Mary’s strength as she stood holding such a thing lightly in her hand as if holding a rock.

“Hey Cernax. I’m saying don’t accept that it’s really okay for a man to be okay. So, I will wear the label of a virgin until I grow old.”
“W-what… !! “Why is that story coming out here!!”
“If it’s loud, I’ll listen to it. “If I do that, my back will hurt.”

I wanted to shout that there was no need to do that, but I couldn’t open my mouth because I felt like my back was going to be shattered, not just as a joke, if I carried this to the guild.

“Hmm. “Give it to me.”
“Thank you.”

I expressed my gratitude by bowing my head to the guard captain who snatched with one hand what I was barely holding with both hands.

“If you’d like to thank me, why not give me dinner at the guild restaurant? “If you have money left in your pocket, it won’t be a burden at all.”
“Well, as long as it’s okay with the guard captain.”
“…”

The guard captain glared at Marys for a moment.

“… Simple. A simple meal is sufficient.”
“All right.”

Maryse, who was listening to the conversation between me and the guard captain, laughed.

“Then get out of the way quickly. “I’ll just keep doing what I was doing.”
“… Checking the guard’s equipment. “Don’t forget like last time and come on the agreed date.”
“Huh. Okay. Get out now.”

Marys disappeared through the inner door of the checkout counter.

“Let’s go too.”
“Ah, yep.”

The guard captain and I also left the blacksmith shop.

Sukdeok Sukdeok.
Whisper quietly.

It seemed as if the adventurers were hesitating and making up some interesting story as they watched the guard captain climb the stairs with me to carry my belongings to my room.

“Hmm…”

I don’t think much of it, but it seems like the guard captain is quite concerned.

“This is my room.”
“Right.”

The most corner room on the 3rd floor.
When I opened the door, my room, which was extremely simple, was revealed.

“… Are you living in such a small space?”
“Hehe, this is actually perfect for staying alone.”

One bed. One closet. One desk. One window to see outside.
It’s no joke, it’s the optimal environment except that the bed is as hard as a rock.

“Oh, just leave it anywhere on the floor.”
“Sure.”

The guard captain put down his pockets, looked around my room for a moment, and then quietly retreated.

“Okay then, I’ll just go.”
“Yes? “Didn’t we decide to go down and have dinner?”
“No… “Well, now that I think about it, I have plans for dinner.”
“… “Are you serious?”
“Jin, it’s salty.”

Anyone can tell it’s a lie, but I didn’t ask any more questions.
Because he’s not so mean that he puts the person who helped him in trouble.
Perhaps he was concerned about the adventurers whispering as they climbed up.

“Security Captain. “Then, we will definitely eat together later.”
“Later… ?”
“Yes. “Isn’t today the only day?”
“Okay… Today is not the only day. I get it. “Let’s do that.”
“Yep. “Then I was really thankful today.”
“No. “Then I will go.”

Sweet. My door closed with a sound and I was finally alone.

“Let’s see.” First of all, this…”

I opened my pocket wide and placed my hand on the round lump of iron.

“Storage of sacred materials.”

Shuuk-

It’s not a lie, it really sounded like that.

“Three-bell, it’s so fucking amazing.”

A real chunk of iron disappeared before my eyes with a swoosh sound.

“But how do I check how much of this is in the archive? Ah, this is it.”

◎Pressed the (?) In the material storage area (?).

《Material Storage List》
◎Pure iron: 40.9kg.

“What. “It’s bugunga.”

I couldn’t believe my eyes.
But strangely, no matter how many times I checked, the number did not change.

“No, two lumps the size of my fist are 41 kg?”

It’s just amazing.
Anyway, if you put the ingredients in, you have to use the ingredients.
For the first time in a long time, I calmed my pounding heart.

“Creation of the Holy Relic.”

Huge letters appeared before my eyes, confusing my vision.
After a while, all the letters disappeared.

【Creates a new drawing for the creation of a relic.】

《No Name – Drawing》

A pure white hologram appeared before my eyes.
A holographic window appeared before my eyes.
That…

“Photoshop?”

It was like that.
No matter how anyone looked at it, it was a modern-day Photoshop window.
