　Mel, who entered a degraded version of the Damascus shortsword in the blacksmithing competition, naturally won the first prize. Naturally, Mr. Gorden had a problem with it, and the competition was suspended in order to call the guildmaster.

　In the first place, what is a great demon king to do?

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

　Mr. Gorden said something heroic, so I thought I should be the Demon King, or even the Great Demon King, but I don't know the roll of the Great Demon King.

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

　If I laugh like "Hahahahaha" and do something vicious with the audience, I might be a great demon king, but it's a crime.

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

　I don't want to be a criminal for such a trivial thing.

"Why are you so quiet all of a sudden, are you afraid of being found out?"

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

　Hmmm...would it be more like a roll of the Daimajo if I threw a right straight right in the face of Mr. Gorden, who was talking so high and mighty?

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

　No, that would just make him a short-tempered ruffian.

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

　And even though you've come to the other world and are somewhat used to rough stuff, don't you intend ...... to abandon your common sense enough to hit someone just because you're pissed off?

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

"......Hmm, but I owe you a debt of gratitude for saving me. If you apologize properly, I may forgive you. Well, after what you did in front of all these people, I'll have to give up the workshop."　

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

　Huh?　Perhaps Mr. Gorden has become delirious?

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

　I'm only returning the favor, not doing it for you!　You mean?

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

　...... I've been stuck in the conventional wisdom, but now I think I can throw an all-out right straight right into Mr. Gorden's face.

　I'll show you that tsundere is only allowed for 2 dimensional beautiful girls and beautiful women.

"I'm a guildmaster!"

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

　As I clenched my right fist tightly, I heard the voice of the Guild Master appear. At the same time, my right fist relaxes.

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

　Dangerous, the roll of the Great Demon King and the insult to Tsundere combined to create a strange tension.

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

　It is just stupid to hit a person for such a stupid reason. Guilmouth, nice timing.

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

　Mr. Gorden looks at me as if I should just admit my guilt and apologize, but I ignore him because I still feel like punching him a little.

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

　So that's Guillmas.

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

　He is an old man with gray hair, but strangely stout. Guilmouth himself is a blacksmith, and I wonder if his blacksmithing skills are the reason for his rise to the Guilmouth.

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

"So, you have some questions about your work?"

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

　Guilmouth, who had been in the audience, comes on stage and asks the jury.

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

　Mr. Gorden, who was near me, rushes to Guilmouth and answers loudly. He looks very happy.

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

　I thought he was a delinquent.

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

　Mr. Gorden is complaining with exaggerated gestures that Damascus is impossible and that an unconvincing evaluation in front of such a large number of people is a prestige problem for the guild.

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

　I guess he was trying to check the guild because he suspected that I was working for the guild. I'm glad to hear that you've never even met Guillmas, let alone laid a hand on him.

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

　Oh, maybe he can't stand the noise of Mr. Gorden, or maybe Guillmuth is coming this way.

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

It's Mel, isn't it? Is it true that you hit that sword?

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

　Guilmouth doesn't talk to me, he talks to Mel.

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

　For a moment I'm taken aback, but that's to be expected since Mel is a participant in the tournament. I felt like I was the star of the show since Mr. Gorden was involved with me, but Mel was the star of the show, wasn't he?

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

"Uh, I'm sorry, Eunice, put me down."

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

　The main character is being held by Yunis when the situation around her becomes suspicious, though it's not a tight situation.

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

"Yes. I struck that sword.

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

　Mel, freed from a very disgruntled Yunis, replies with a crisp expression after adjusting her clothes.

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

"I see."

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

　Guilmouth looks very puzzled. It is understandable that a girl of any age, who was being carried in her arms, would be at a loss to answer when told that she had struck a sword whose manufacturing process had been lost. It was Guilmas who asked her.

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

"A lie!　How could you possibly strike a sword of Damascus? It must be from the labyrinth!

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

　Mr. Gorden interrupts the conversation here as well. Frankly speaking, it is annoying, but it is hard to exclude him because the other blacksmiths also seem to have doubts.

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

"Goldene is not convinced, and the blacksmiths around him and I have our doubts, too. Can you prove in front of us that you did it?"

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

"Yes, I can."

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

Then strike Damascus in front of us and show us."

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

　Hmm?　Isn't this conversation going in a strange direction?　Why am I supposed to hit it in front of everyone?

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

"Wait a minute. We agreed on a procedure before the convention in case of doubt. Why are you supposed to prove it in front of everyone?"　

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

　The rule should be to randomly select a few amateurs to confirm.

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

"Hmm, but, you know, it's hard for a layman to tell the difference with Damascus, isn't it?

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

"No, it's enough to confirm that we are not breaking any rules, so there is no need to identify Damascus, right?"

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

"...... that's ...... right."

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

　Guilmouth ruefully concedes my opinion. He would have liked to see how Damascus is made, but that's not going to happen.

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

"What, is there a reason why you can't strike in front of a blacksmith?　Well, maybe you think you can fool us amateurs, but don't expect us to be convinced by that!"

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

　Excuse me?

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

"...... Hey Mr. Gorden."

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

"What the hell? You threaten me, I won't give in."

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

　That's not what I meant. That's not what I'm talking about, Gorden. Answer carefully, because right now I'm surprisingly close to losing my temper.

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

　I put up with you earlier, but I won't this time depending on your response.

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

"I don't mean to threaten you or anything, but ...... hey Mr. Gorden. Don't you remember when I laughed so hard my stomach churned, thinking that a blacksmith would never reveal his skills in public, you idiot?"

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

"Ah."

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

　Don't say "ah". Do you know how embarrassed I was then?　You endured the humiliation of instituting the rules and then forgot about them?

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

"After making fun of me so much and then retracting your previous statement, I'm not sure if I can put up with it, even as a mild-mannered person. What do you think, Mr. Tablé, who laughed with me?"

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

"What, me?"

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

　Yes, you are the one who is pretending to be a stranger with a look that says you have nothing to do with it.

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

"...... I guess so. That's what Goldens said. But at that time, I didn't think that Damascus would be a terrible thing. ......

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

"It's up to us what we want to put out there, as long as it's within the rules, right?　In the first place, we decided to hold this tournament because Mr. Gorden and others kept harassing Mel. And now you want us to change the rules to suit their needs?　Can't the Blacksmith's Guild even maintain neutrality?"

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

　I thought it would be Mel's skill to crush Mr. Gorden and the others, but if they are that licked, it's a different story.

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

　The Blacksmith's Guild will have to pay a price for that.

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

"Are you going to do it?　Yuta, are you going to do it?　Are you going to tear this building to pieces?　Don't worry, we won't hurt people. Yuta doesn't like that kind of thing.

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

　No, I wasn't thinking about being pulverized or anything, but ...... I'm starting to think it's okay now. The guild will be pulverized and Gorden and the others will be ...... beaten to a pulp, right?

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

　It will definitely be overkill, but as long as people don't die, it will be forgiven. Because he's the Great Satan.

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

　Besides, Sylphy's very motivated. I can only hear her voice from the back, but I can tell she's incredibly excited.

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

　Sylphy was not happy about what Goldens said, and I don't blame her.

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

　Now, Blacksmith's Guild, answer with your hearts. One wrong answer and the building will be pulverized.

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

　Sylphy has taken care of it and a gentle wind starts to blow in the room.

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

"Well, we'll wait. The Blacksmith's Guild is neutral. Neutral, no doubt. It's just that Damascus and some other crazy stuff came out and things got a little out of control."

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

　Is it my imagination that Gilmouth is making excuses in response to the unusual atmosphere, but I don't think they are excuses at all?

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

　Is this inevitable?

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

　Maybe we can get Sylphy to give us a little more wind.

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

"Hmm?　Mel, what's wrong?"　

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

　I asked as Mel tugged at my sleeve with a desperate look on her face, but there was no answer. He seemed to want to talk privately.

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

　I crouched down and Mel put her mouth to my ear.

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

　Eunice, I'm not doing anything wrong, so please stop looking at me like I'm a criminal.

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

（Master. Can you ask Nomos-sama if I can play Damascus in public?)

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

"What?　Why?　I think I'm ready to be powder-jacked if you've already made me look this stupid, don't you?"

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

　Powder!　And, wait!　I don't care if it sounds like that.

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

　There's no need for Mel to make any more concessions.

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

　The worst he can do is run away, and in my position, I can probably manage without running away.

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

　Mel is not the main culprit and he can do whatever he wants if he asks the king. I'll force him to do something even if it doesn't work out.

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

"Master, please calm down. If we don't do something we'll be in trouble.

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

"Don't worry. I'll force myself to do something even if it's a big problem.

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

　I hear a voice telling me it's not okay, but I ignore it.　

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

"Uh, no, it's not. I don't want this to end like this, I want to show that I'm good at what I do and I want everyone to recognize me."

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

"Hmm."

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

　It may seem like a tacked-on reason to cover for the Blacksmith's Guild, but Mel's serious eyes seem to say more than that, and he seems to be speaking the truth.

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

"But that would expose Mel's skills, wouldn't it?"

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

　I hid it when I was king, and I did not intend to expose my skills in such a large crowd. It would be different to expose the technology now after having set the rules, wouldn't it?

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

"Don't worry, I don't think I could copy it if they saw me."

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

　Mel, you're so busy defending yourself that you don't realize it, but you're picking a fight with all the blacksmiths here. You can't do it. .......

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

　He looks at Sylphy and shrugs his shoulders like it can't be helped.

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

　......It's okay, since Mel was the main character to begin with. Let's put Mel's feelings first.

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

　I'll have to check with Nomos, but he hasn't asked me to keep it a secret, so I think I'll be fine.

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

　Oh, if we're going to expose the technology anyway, should we not send Mr. Dolgem back?

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

　...... Well, you know what, I'm in jail now, I'll follow up with you later.

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

　Also, I should make sure the blacksmith guild understands that Mel saved my life.
