　At any rate, I get the money from Marie, who is smiling eerily, and escape from the general store. It was a bad time when Ms. Marie involved Ms. Sonia and they started laughing together.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha-ha-ha, Marie is funny as ever!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sylphy is laughing. I've liked Marie for a long time, but I never thought I'd laugh this hard....... People who fight wars must have a lot of desires, but how are they different from Marie's desires?　Purity?　Anyway, I don't get it, so let's move on. Uh, Mel's workshop.

　We head for Mel's workshop with a very happy Sylphy in tow. Next time Sylphy's in a bad mood, it might be a good idea to visit Marie's place. If she is in a bad mood, she might be able to fix it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm so scared of the thought of ruining Sylphy's mood. ...... Let's do our best to keep her in a good mood, not to fix her mood. I arrive at Mel's workshop, thinking of something silly.

"Hello!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ah, Master, it's been a long time."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yuta, you're here!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel and Meral cheerfully approached me as I entered the workshop. Mel got out of the counter and came running toward us, looking a little flustered. He's as tiny as ever. But I'm glad Eunice isn't here. We can talk in peace.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hey, it's been a while. How are Mel and Meral?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, I was fine.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I've been fine too. Hey Yuta, when are you going to the sanctuary? Today?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Meral's tension is soaring. Well, I get to talk to the contractor of the family I've been watching over for so long, and I get to see him in person. It must be exciting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Master. Master Meral has been restless ever since Mr. Bell and the others came to visit yesterday. I've asked her about it, but I'm not sure what's going on. Is something wrong?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is indeed difficult to explain the sanctuary with a yes or no answer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, it's a lot of things. Meral, I'll explain it to you now. Mel, are you on time?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, we've had a few more customers, but we're still very busy, so don't worry about it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... Please don't say sad things with a smile. Well, I'm sure blacksmithing has become easier since I made a contract with Meral and I'm planning to wholesale a lot of valuable materials. I'm sure I'll be a very popular blacksmith eventually.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"First of all, the reason why Meral is so nervous is because I told her that I want to invite Mel and Meral to my base."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A base?　I thought it was a secret where it was located?　I'm glad to hear it, but is it a place that would please you so much, Meral-sama?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel tilts her head, as if unsure. I don't understand why Melal is so nervous just by explaining that we're going to the base.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay, so what I'm going to tell you is definitely a secret, but it's okay, right? Don't tell Eunice either, okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Yes. If you, our grateful master, say it is a secret, then I will keep it, even from you, Yunis."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel puts her hands out in front of her and clenches her fists. She's an adult, isn't she? She looks so much like a Lolita. Okay, now that we've got the pretense out of the way, let's get to the reason why.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, please. So my base is a place called the sanctuary. Meral is happy because it's a place where spirits can materialize.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He explains to Mel with a smug look on his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... materialize?　............ Does that mean I can see Master Meral?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Huh?　The response is less than I expected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......Wow, that's great, Master!　So I can go to Master's base and meet Meral-sama!　It's amazing!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You got excited at once. The reason you didn't respond to me is because you didn't understand what I was saying. He had a hard time understanding it, but when he did, he was so excited. This is the reaction I've been waiting for.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Master. You're inviting us to your master's base!　Wow, I can't believe I'm going to meet Master Meral, I can't believe I'm going to meet him!　It's a dream come true!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel, who is jumping around. I don't think I've ever seen Mel this aggressive. Meral has joined the group, and they're having a great time together. If there were an army of little kids here, things would have gotten out of hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmmm, they seem to be very happy."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, I knew you would be happy, but I didn't think you would be this happy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wait for Mel and Meral to calm down while talking with Sylphy, who smiles at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　........................ can we continue talking soon?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mel, have you calmed down?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, yes. I'm sorry. I've calmed down.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay, so you'll accept the invitation, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, by all means."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. If you go to my base, you'll have to leave the labyrinth city for a while.　

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can manage a day trip, but I have a feeling that Mel will be too serious and say it's not good to take too much time off from the workshop, so he'll be back in a short time. That would be a hassle for me, and Meral would probably feel indigestion. It's better to give her a big break from the start.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I have some pots to repair and three swords to sharpen ......, and my master who's going to help me with some repairs ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　You seem to be subtly busy. Well, the fact that repairing pots and pans is the first thing that comes up makes it sound like a subcontractor's job.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then I'd like to do it after my boss finishes his work. How long will it take?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I think he said three days. Then I think the job will probably take two or three days."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　That would give us about six days. There will be preparations for departure, and there is a possibility that the work will be extended. It would be better to aim for about 10 days from now to be sure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Six days is not enough time, but if I have 10 days, I can dive the dungeon. If I ask Sylphy to help me, I can get to the 90th level and back in 2 days. With 8 days left, I can try to get to the 100th level.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay, Mel, can you take a break for the next 10 days?　I'll be diving in the labyrinth too, so it might be a little off, but I hope that's okay."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"If you can give me that much time, I can take the day off without causing trouble for the masters. How long should I take off?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, I don't care how long it takes, as long as Mel can take a break from the workshop. You don't have to do anything, you can come visit me as often as you like when the time is right."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"....... So, can I visit you for 10 days or so?　I want to talk to Master Meral as much as possible!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Wow, you took a surprisingly long vacation. That's how much you want to see Meral. Oh, Meral's moved by Mel's words. She's really happy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. Then make a schedule like that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, sir!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He's full of energy. Well, we got what we came for. Next, I was going to give him a picture frame of my own making, but ...... already has a picture in a nice frame hanging in the most prominent place in the workshop. I'm glad you like it, but I don't think I need to give you a frame. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'll show you the knife made of fire dragon tusks or ...... first, and we'll pick it up when we all come together. Then we can have a ceremony to award the Fire Dragon Dagger as proof of my discipleship. This is getting fun.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So Mel, what does the Fire Dragon Fang Dagger look like?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, yes!　I finished it successfully!　I'll bring it to you."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel rushes to the back of the workshop. He had finished it. A few moments later, Mel returned with a box.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Master, here is the finished dagger. Please inspect it. I'll bring you the extra tusks later.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He takes a dagger from the box and observes it. It is a modestly decorated but atmospheric dagger. But the sheath, with its shiny cream color, looks just like a fire dragon's fangs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mel, are the dagger's sheaths made from fire dragon fangs, too?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, yes, that's right. At first, I made the sheath of the skin, but when I hit the blade part by some chance, it was cut off completely. Next, I made a metal sheath with the blade completely floating, but when I pulled it out and inserted it, the metal on the ground with the tusk was slightly shaved off like a powder. I thought about using adamantite, but it would be too heavy, so I made a tusk sagger. Was that a bad idea?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel looks up at me anxiously.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, not at all. It's rather cool. But can you cut metal?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It looks like the fangs of a fire dragon are so smooth that it doesn't look like metal can be cut off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. It is really only a little, but if you keep pulling it out and inserting it again and again, the sheath will eventually wear out. This dagger is so sharp that I thought it would be dangerous, so I made the sheath out of tusks."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I see, it would be a disaster if a sharp dagger were to slip out of its sheath. It would be better to put a stopper on it, but unlike in Japan, it could be used in an emergency. It might be better to make it so that it can be pulled out as soon as you try to pull it out.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Is it that sharp?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, the durability of the blade is excellent, and we were able to make the blade as thin and sharp as possible. The blade is so sharp that it can easily penetrate iron armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It looks like we have just completed an amazing dagger. What if it is sharper than a magic survival knife? The existence value of the pioneering tool is ...... well, if it is a dagger for self-defense, it is more than enough. I'm not just going to listen to the stories, I'm going to see for myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I take another long look at the dagger. The handle seems to be wrapped with the skin of a demon. And I can't see any connection between the blade and the handle. It looks as if the dagger is carved out of the tusk as a whole. In a way, it's extravagant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The dagger is pulled from a shiny cream-colored sheath. ...... No, I knew that. Of course it's a cream-colored dagger, since it's carved out of the same material. The color is gentle, but the dragon's fangs are strangely powerful.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Checking the blade, the border between the blade and the space appears to be slightly blurred, as if the word "extremely thin" is true. The blurred part also looks like a blade. It looks much thinner than a razor blade. With such a thin blade, the sharpness of the blade must be tremendous. And yet, it is durable enough to withstand the rigors of use.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm going to test the sharpness."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, would you like me to prepare the material for the test cut?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, I'm fine, I have it on hand."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At any rate, the material has to be strong. I take the scales of an assault dragon out of my magic bag. Scales harder than steel, a little too tough?　Well, it's a test. I put the blade against the scales and pull gently, and a thin stripe remains on the scales.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's quite a sharp blade ...... to make even a small cut on scales harder than steel with a light pull. This time, I put all my strength into cutting the scales. Oh, it takes a lot of force, but I cut through the scales of the assault dragon. It is a powerful enough dagger, though it is not as powerful as the pioneering tool.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Thank you, Mel. It's a dagger I'm happy enough with."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm so glad! I was so nervous.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mel is half crying with joy. He was feeling pressure because of the fire dragon's fangs, the material was amazing. I'm a little sorry, but I hope it was a good experience for him. Oh, I'll have the names of Gina and the others put on the handle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Is it too much to ask Mel, who is relieved that the big job is done, to do additional work?　There's also the repairing of the pots and pans.
