TEASER CHAPTER 8 PART 29
Nozomu, having
witnessed the unusual sight of his childhood friend, looked at Lisa and the
dwarf who seemed to be the owner of this workshop with a fishy expression on
his face.
The dwarf's glare at
Lisa was so severe that Lisa seemed to be scurrying away, her eyes swimming
frantically in the opposite direction, as if to escape.
What had his childhood
friend gotten herself into?
Nozomu stifled his
sigh as he turned his attention to the person who might have caused the
problem.
"Lisa, what on
earth have you done? The Dwarf shopkeeper seems to be in an unusual state of
anger."
"A-, anyway!
Nozomu, what brings you to this deserted blacksmith shop?"
"Sorry for being
so deserted! Looks like you haven't reflected on what you've done..."
Lissa tried to forcefully
dodge Nozomu's question, but the dwarf was furious and began to look at Lisa
with an even harsher gaze.
The dwarf is short
even for an adult, standing no taller than Nozomu's chest to stomach height.
But the intimidation
that radiated from his short stature was enough to make even Nozomu, who was
not under his gaze, gasped.
Lisa, unable to bear
Wandall's pressure, quickly hid behind Nozomu's back like a gust of wind.
"What have you
done, Lisa?"
"Ummm,
hehehehe..."
Lisa tried to cover up
her embarrassment with a wry smile, but when Nozomu stared at her, she seemed
to have given up and began to explain why she was there.
"This is my
regular weapons store."
"Hee..."
According to Lisa,
this dwarf is named Wandall Kaul, and he is one of the most skilled blacksmiths
in this craftsmen's district.
However, his character
is stubborn and obstinate with a full-blown craftsman's spirit, and he does not
easily make weapons for his customers.
Many Dwarves tend to
have difficult personalities, and Wandall is no exception.
In other words, Lissa
was recognized by Wandall to the extent that he was willing to make a weapon
for her.
Nevertheless, why was
the dwarf in question so angry? Anri spoke up on behalf of Nozomu's question.
"Wandall-sa~n,
what in the world has happened?"
"This clumsy
bastard broke the new weapon I just made for her."
In response to Anri's
question, Wandall presented Lisa's sword, which had been broken in half.
The broken sword was
not only broken, but also cracked here and there on the blade and fused as if
it had been heated to a high degree of temperature, making it a terrible sight
at first glance.
What in the world had
she done with it? Another question came to Nozomu's mind.
However, as a weapon,
it would wear out if used, and it was inevitable that it would break in the
process.
Certainly, the
craftsman who made the weapon would not feel good about having his weapon
destroyed, but weapons and armor are generally consumable items.
It is inevitable that
they will eventually break.
