Now I was in the artisanal district.
　I was talking with Krua-san before about looking around the artisanal district--because it was today.

　We'll meet at the entrance of the artisanal district........I heard that Krua-san was--.
　When I was looking for Krua-san's appearance, I saw her usual figure.
　Her hair was tied up at the side. His clothes were tightly fitted.

　When Krua-san came in front of me, he loosened his mouth.

'Good morning, Krua-san.'
'Good morning. Good day to you, Mr. Lelius.
I'm looking forward to working with you, too.

　We bowed lightly to each other and then went to look at the artisanal area.
　Mr. Krua is.

'Come to think of it, how did you like that paper in the ancient language?　What did you find out?
Yes, sir.
''..... I knew it--Yeah!

　Krua-san turned to me as if surprised.
　........I only told him thank you in the letter.

''That was a blueprint for a weapon and other things. I'm a blacksmith and can now create those weapons.
''........Nah, I see.
'Yes. Thank you so much.
Next time I find it, I'll give it to Mr. Relius.
Thank you very much.

　We may continue to get new weapons in the future.　
　That's exciting to think about.
　I walked with her through the artisanal district.

　Krua-san stopped.

''This is the workshop we'll be taking care of. You're an acquaintance of the master, and I'm a little acquainted with you.''
Okay.

　I'm a little nervous.
　I'm a craftsman, but I have to admit, the wicked way is also the wicked way.
　I follow Mr. Krua inside.

　It looks like this is a store that deals in furniture.
　There are many pieces of processed wood in the building.
　A man with a bandana on his head pauses his work when he notices us and comes over.

'Oh, Krua-chan. Krua-chan. Is that the craftsman you contracted with Krua?
Yes. This is Mr. Lelius.
'Well, well, well. You look like you've been working out a bit, but are you physically fit?　It's a physical job for a craftsman, you know?

　The man in front of me is certainly stout.
　........It's not like the way I created it, you know.

'For now, it's manageable,'
Yeah, right. And you said you wanted to see the other craftsmen. What do you want to see?
I was just wondering what kind of work you actually do.
Oh, come on. Craftsmen may make different things, but they're all pretty much the same, aren't they?
Well, yes.

　The man lifted his chin to tell us to follow him and lead us around.

"First, this is where we roughly process the wood. Then we cut it up, make it piece by piece and put it together at the end.

　The work going on in front of me is quick and smooth.

'There's a fast-moving man over there, what the hell is that?'
Yeah. It's a rare skill that craftsmen rarely have, you know?　That's the one that accelerates your movements when you're working.
...I see.
You don't have one?　That's a bit disappointing then. Well, eighty percent of us don't have it, but we're still getting by.

　...So that's what it's all about.
　Then I go around to look at the whole place.

　People creating tableware, such as forks and knives, were also in another workshop.
　"It seems that even craftsmen can create things that are not recognized as 'weapons'.

　It might be difficult if it gets any larger than that.
　........This is how things are made.

　I've never been to a craftsman's town since I was a child.
　I've only ever seen finished furniture and such, so I had no idea how they were made.

　........And yet, while there were people mass-producing the same item, there were also people creating one item.
　In this workshop alone, there were many different craftsmen.

''It's roughly like this.''

　The man turns around with his arms crossed.
　Mr. Krua glanced at me.

'Thank you very much. That was very helpful.'
Oh. Well, don't be a craftsman who makes little Krua sad, okay?
''Well yes. I'll do my best.

　After bowing briefly to the craftsman, we left the workshop.
　When we went outside, it was late in the evening.
　You've been looking around a lot.

'Thank you for your time today, Mr. Krua.
You're welcome.

　I know, I want to make it too.
　...I want to make something that only I can make.
　I want to make my own best weapon - to be one step ahead of the blacksmith.

Well, Mr. Kurua. Could you listen to one of my dreams?
What is it?

　I tell her what I've felt so far.

'I ... wanted to bring this weapon to the whole country. I want to make a weapon that's as good as a divine weapon.
'I see. ...I think it would be difficult to do it right away. If we were to do it, the only way to do it would be to first find people who want such weapons and then sell them to individuals. I will seek out those customers as well.
Are you going to help us?

　That's the only reason I consulted with you, that's all I want to do.
　I figured I might have to terminate our partnership agreement in the future.

'Because I'd be more than happy to have Mr. Relius enjoy working with me, too.

　She smiled as she scratched her cheek.

''Thank you ... thank you.''
Oh no. It helps me too. I'm really grateful that everything you make is highly regarded, Lelius-san. People compliment me on how great and awesome they are.
I'm going to keep trying to get people to say that.
Oh, well, I don't want you to be on edge, do I?
I know, sir.

　So I broke up with her.
　My own personal weapon - from now on, I'll have to level up and expand the range of weapons anyway.

　Also, I want to find the blueprints.
　If I have information on those things, I want to keep looking for them.
