This is how they lead the brave people to the village.
　Apparently they didn't walk around the village especially since their only purpose was to meet Radey.

''Heh, brave people?''
Why?　If you're brave, don't you already have a Radie-chan?

　The reaction of the villagers was generally like this.

　In the unprecedented situation of having more than one brave person selected at a time, the general public did not look at Pigalo, Altamir, and Zester in the same way as Radey.

''It's like they're looking at us as something suspicious...''
Rude people.

　The people in charge felt uncomfortable under their gaze.

''But Mithril.......it looks like a normal village, but you're dealing with such great stuff.

　Altamir says as he moves to join the queue.

'I think I'm beginning to understand how Radie feels about sticking around.... Hey Radey, what is this village all about?　There are some villagers who are crazy strong and are actually important bases of some kind?
'Well, I don't think so...?

　It was Radey who smiled bitterly.

　I'm on my way to the blacksmith's shop in response to the request of Pigalleo, the brave man of the "sword", to produce a special weapon.

　It's a good idea to make a special weapon, which means you'll need to negotiate directly with the blacksmiths.
　As long as they are also brave, they will also have the convenience of the Center Guild.
　I'm sure they'll also receive an order like Radey's, 'We're not going to put money on the line, so make weapons as a priority.
　It's not coming just yet.

　That's why I'm not going to let you get away with it.

"...do you guys make one?　A mithril weapon?

　I notice and check with the two guys who are accompanying me.
　Altamir and Zester.
　If they're also brave, they'll need more powerful weapons to fight through.

''I'm good. Just as you are.

　Altamir indicated the bow that he owned.

The main ingredient of the bow is wood. It's a good idea to have a flexible wood to make the arrows fly farther. This bow is a special order made by layering several carefully selected woods.

　I see.
　So the bow is made of wood rather than metal?

But for now, we can't focus on the performance of the weapon until we've perfected the Sturdy Armor.

　And Zester.
　So the only person who wants a weapon is a legitimate Pigaro.

　.........tch, I thought this was my chance to enrich the village.

"Quit your idle chatter and get to the front of the line. I have to kill the Demon King as soon as possible with the most powerful sword I have.

　Pigalo, who received the title of 'Sword' heroic capital from the Center Guild, seems to be the weapon of choice for use, after all, is a sword.

　Well, if you pay me, you're a customer.
　Let's get out of the way for now for the reward.

◆

　Then we arrived at the forge.
　Inside, along with many blacksmiths as usual, their representative, Sakai-kun, was still working briskly.

''Ah, village chief!　And brave men!　Just the right place!

　And Sakai-kun is somehow more excited than usual.
　What's going on?

'It's done!　Finally, a weapon for the brave!　My sword!
Huh?

　I'm not going to be able to get to the bottom of it.
　I'm not going to be the only one.

This is.........the sword for me.......?
''I took the concept of the prototype and forged it with a self-repairing alloy that quickly repairs the blade even if it is damaged. Not only should it be able to maintain the best cutting performance at all times, it should also be able to withstand excessive aura infusion!

　You finished it very quickly...?
　I've been spending so much time goofing around...?

"I named it the Immortal Sword!

　A sword that will never die because it keeps regenerating?

''It's all thanks to you, Masari!　She's going to work the alloy the way I thought she would, and the work is going to be crisp!
That's because my darling is so good at it.
Honey!

　The female alchemist next to me and Sakai-kun hug each other passionately.
　These guys are already that much...?

Ho, isn't this wonderful!

　Pigalo, the brave man of the 'sword', breaks in forcefully even though he wasn't called upon to do so.

''Blacksmith!　I command you to make me a fine sword!　It's better than the one I just gave to Radey. A sword far superior to the weapons the villagers there have!

　Saying that, he points at me with Zubishi.

　Sakai-kun is bewildered and confused.

"Eh?　Who?　What is it?

　Pointing at me, 'you villager' means me, and the weapon I have is probably the Hermes sword.

"I don't know what it is, but is it more than a Hermes sword?　I can't, I can't make it.
Why?
The Hermes Sword is my mentor Smith's masterpiece. My skills are not yet mature enough to surpass it.
Then I don't care who you are!　Bring out that master!　I'll have this guy build me my own weapon!
I can't do that either!
"What did you say?

　Pigaro is freaking out.

I'm a hero!　When did the blacksmiths become so great that they can't listen to a brave man's request?　All you guys have to do is say 'yes'.
''But the brave man is Radey-sama, what are you calling yourself...?''

　Sakai-kun gave me a puzzled look and I silently shook my cover.

''Well either way, Master won't be making weapons anymore.
'So why not!　Brave men do not do their job!
Dead men do not have the right to work.

　Sakai-kun raises his gaze. Beyond that, there was a portrait on the wall.
　The portrait of his grandfather Smith in his day.
　He displayed it so that he would not forget his teacher's teachings.

'Dead...?　Gone....?
That's why the village chief's Hermes sword is his posthumous masterpiece. I'm a blacksmith, so I have ambitions to create a masterpiece that surpasses my master one day, but that's years away. No, maybe decades away...?
''You useless bastard...!''

　Pigalo grits his teeth on the edge.
　I'm losing my cool more and more.

Then I don't care who you are!　Make a sword for me. Make it as good as you can make it.
That's my job, so I'll make it if you ask me to, but of course you'll have to pay for it, right?

　It is a job that comes with a reward.

'Naturally, I'll give you a large sum of money that you poor blacksmiths have never seen before. ........Altamir!
''Yes, yes, this is the letter I got from the Center Guild...''

　Altamir takes a sealed envelope from his pocket.

''I'm taking care of it all myself because the others are going to treat it poorly. The Center Guild's endorsement is written here. ''The Center Guild will pay the bills later, so make sure to give the brave people the maximum possible accommodations...''
Well...?

　I looked over the letter I received from Altamir and answered, Sakai-kun.

'This isn't good enough.
''What the hell?

　Pigalo is probably not expecting it, but he is wild about the rejection response.

Because look at this place. There's a cap on the amount of money the Center Guild will pay later.
Yes?

　When I looked at the letter, there was a sentence on it that said, "I guarantee the amount of money less than .......
　So you're saying that you can't guarantee a higher amount of money?

This price isn't even close to enough to make a one-of-a-kind piece out of the rare mineral mithril. I recommend that you purchase from your ready-made collection.
"A brave man can't use mass production!　Why, why would there be such a cap on the amount of money?

　I don't think there was such a limit for Radey's time.

That Sakai-kun...?　How much did you pay for my immortal sword...?
That's all right, Mr. Radey. I've already taken all of that money.

　It was Radey who was truly relieved to receive such a reply.

　After thinking about it, even though it is a tradition on the part of the human statue to provide maximum convenience to the brave, if it increased to more than one, would the generosity be dispersed as expected?

''If the assistance we've been giving to one brave man is increased by four people at once, as expected, the Center Guild's household budget won't hold up...''
"You fools!

　Pigalo exclaimed.

"You can't keep your money to accomplish the feat of defeating the Demon King!　Hey, blacksmith, I don't care about the money!　Make a weapon for me, and I will slay the demon king with it!　If you do, your reputation as a blacksmith will last forever!
'Master Smith taught me more than how to hammer, you know.

　Sakai-kun, he says with a snort.

''Don't trust the adventurer's advancement payment. Even if you complete a huge quest and pay your adventurer's fee, he or she will come back as a corpse with the weapons you made for them. You'll fail to make it, so you have to pay the reward in exchange for the weapon you made.

　Sakai-kun must have been annoyed by Pigalo's attitude.
　He was so cold-hearted that it would be unthinkable for him to be on a daily basis.
