It was the next morning.
　Many of the knights overslept.

　It was past the time I was supposed to get up, so I had no choice but to go wake up one of the knights.

I didn't think you'd oversleep.　I'm sorry, please help me wake up the other knights!

　He said, so I woke them up one by one.
　They all looked surprised and hurriedly started to change their clothes.

　Then, as I came down to the cafeteria, a knight came running down with a bang.

''........that bed was so comfortable to sleep on.
'Really I didn't think they'd have that much to offer at this inn.
You know, it's just that these chairs in the dining room aren't very comfortable, you know?
Yeah!　I was tired from my trip that time and I thought I was wrong, but I guess not!

　The knights were having this conversation.
　It seems that what I created was accepted by the nobles and knights as something reasonably good.
　That was what I was most worried about.

　A little later than the knights, Cryer came down the stairs.

'Huh ... totally. Apparently, the knights overslept and made trouble for you.''
'No, not really. I have a service for the adventurers who want me to wake them up in the morning.
Isn't that what that clerk is after?
Yeah.

　Ms. Cryer glances at Mea.
　As I was laying out the food, Mr. Cryer tapped the seat next to me.
　I guess he wants me to eat with him.

　So I sit there too.　

'Nevertheless. That bed it's really awesome. I'm a bit of a fussy sleeper, but I didn't expect to sleep this well on the road. Do you know who made the furniture?　I'd love to have the same thing!
Well I don't know the person who made it, but if you talk to the owner about it, you might be able to work something out?
I see!

　You're not going to be able to get your hands on any of these.
　I'm not going to say that I made it myself.
　I'm not a member of the artisans' guild, so it's forbidden for me to make something and sell it.

I didn't expect to meet anyone like this on this trip. I could sleep soundly every day with that thing!
Sleep is so important.
Ah!

　Then Mr. Cryer ate his breakfast and then left the inn.
　As for the furniture, it was decided that someone would come later from the mansion to collect it.

　........A 'blacksmith', huh?
　I never thought I could make someone smile in this profession.

　I loved to see my parents defeating demons and making the people of that village and town happy.
　I was even proud of them as if they were my own.

　Was it someone's smile that I wanted to see?
　Maybe 'The Blacksmith' could make more people smile.

　Even though being an adventurer is difficult, I guess it's one way to go about it.

　The days of completing the work of the inn while improving the level of the "Blacksmith" continue.
　Then one day, a man came to the inn. A man came into the inn.
　I was working as a receptionist and thought he was just an ordinary customer, but on his way home he said, "I'm making furniture here.

'Do you know who makes the furniture here?'

　The man asked as if he was thinking.
　I had been taught not to talk about my powers, so I didn't immediately identify myself.

'Was there a problem?'

　I didn't think there was a problem.
　I didn't think there would be a problem, as visitors to the inn had recently been raving about the furniture.
　Many of them had been talking about the comfortable beds.

''No... it was just a rumor, but I didn't think they had such a comfortable bed. I thought I'd like to go to the Merchant's Guild once and ask them about it.
''....I see. As for the furniture, some of it has been modified by me personally, so it's very different from the original.
It was you?

　He was staring at me.
　Observational eyes.

"Yes.
At such a young age, you're already showing glimpses of your talent as a cabinetmaker. I'd like you to make some furniture for me, if you don't mind.
''Well.... I don't belong to any production guild. I'm only doing this on a personal basis, so if money is exchanged, I'm not sure...

　I sold my bed to Mr. Cryer before, but that was an exception to the rule.
　If money is going to move, you need to belong to a craftsmen's guild and follow the proper procedures.

　Apparently, technical guilds are especially difficult to communicate with their superiors.
　Normally, you need to become an apprentice or graduate from a craftsman's school.

　It is said that there are many things to do, such as communicating directly with the shop or selling the products through merchants.

I see..... Can you get the job done in secret, then?　I won't blow the whistle on this to anyone.
Huh, well, in that case, well, just in case...
Oh, yeah?　That's good to know. Do you know where I can find a place for it?
Uh, let me see if I can help you.

　In the meantime, I can't even make time to talk to my father-in-law about it.
　Leaving the receptionist to someone else, I head to my father-in-law.
　When I told him about what I just said, my father-in-law made a thoughtful expression and then nodded.

'It's all right over here. You should talk to him for a bit.''
Okay.

　With my stepfather's permission, I led him to my room.
　I let him into the room, pulled a nearby chair and we sat down on each other.

I'm sorry you had to make time for me at work.
No, I'm fine.
'Well I don't know where to begin - I guess I'll start by introducing myself. I'm from the Countess of Arsus.
Are you a nobleman?
Yes. Viscount Cryer told me about the inn.

　An aristocrat again.
　That surprised me a bit, but there was definitely something graceful about his mannerisms.
