Chapter 353 – Weapon Management (3)

The afternoon after the camping date with Sihee and Eunbyul.

Returning to Gangdong-gu, Seoul from the mountain area of ​​Gangwon-do where I had been with the two of them, I headed straight to Areumi’s studio without much hesitation.

In order to retrieve the spear that was broken and entrusted to you the other day, and to convey your impressions of the shield you wielded in the actual battle yesterday.

It was a little cumbersome to visit the company or union on the day I went to work, so it was a good way in many ways to visit often when I had free time like this.

In the first place, today was also the day when I completely emptied my afternoon schedule in case the date would become longer.

It was a day without a party hunting at work with Azure Shield colleagues, a date meeting someone else to collect awakening points, or training with a swordsmanship or flame magic master.

“Anyway, can I be honest about where I used the shield?”

Should I tell the story of hitting a person with a shield straight forward, or should I leave out that part and only talk about dealing with the earth mage’s mud giant?

While I was thinking about that, my steps came to the front of Ah-reum’s studio before I knew it.

Lastly, before entering the store, I confirmed that I was wearing an unknown mask, and I called her name, which was quite familiar, and walked into the signboard that read ‘Flame of Creation’.

“Beautiful, are you there?”

I wanted to go into the workshop in the back room as usual and do some hammering, but for some reason, Ah-reum was sitting at her shop counter, guarding her seat.

… Unfortunately for me, who was trying to greet Areum as soon as I entered the store, the atmosphere inside the store was not very peaceful.

“Ah, they keep pushing me because they don’t accept it. The other Dwarves’ strong-armed weapons are teeth, don’t!”

“Huh… ?”

A brunette girl waving her hand angrily at a customer at the counter.

And the gigantic female warrior who leans in against Areumyi was a scenery that was not lacking in raising many questions and speculations.

“The other dwarves are sleeping and just ask me to do it! It’s just a weapon repair, but why does it keep bouncing!”

Even at a glance, it was hard to tell whether it was a man or a woman, and the woman with her bulging muscles pushed her beautiful face with an ax in her hand.

Like a half-dwarf, Ah-reum didn’t relax at all and let out her voice with her eyes open at her female hunter.

“Didn’t my other dwarves say that they don’t use blind weapons! Why does Mr. Dosan keep asking me to repair his blind axe!”

“That unlucky Dwarf was fed up with arguing with me every time I repaired it, so I said something, and he said that he wouldn’t do any more repairs!”

“Then, of course, you won’t even roll your head to say that you can’t do more! I can’t take care of that, so don’t be like this, and if you need something, go to Dosan’s shop and throw yourself in the head!”

“That’s crazy, bitch! No matter how dwarf you are, you’re going to hit a man on the head?! And if I can’t use this tomorrow, I’ll really miss it!”

“Either you search for it or you don’t do it!”

Even though it’s a fight between hunters, it’s definitely bloody to see them fighting with determination.

It was the first time she had seen her, and it seemed like she was playing as she looked, so even so, her beautiful vocalization didn’t seem to be pushed back at all compared to that of a muscular woman.

No matter how young they look, a dwarf is a dwarf.

Dwarves in this world, both men and women, were famous for their tough personalities and strong pride.

Anyway, as Areumi’s acquaintance, she couldn’t just watch the fight between the two escalate, so she hurriedly walked inside the store to mediate.

One step faster than my movement, the muscular woman started to show strange behavior.

“Because this bitch wants to see you… !”

The figure of a muscular woman who nervously raises the ax in her hand and strikes down the counter where her beauty is.

As soon as I faced the insane woman’s insane behavior, my body leaped forward with the greatsword.

Soon, the sound of two sword blades colliding rang once in the store, not the sound of an ax hitting the counter and breaking it apart.

-Visor!

“… Uh?”

As soon as the ax she was swinging at the counter was blocked by my greatsword, the muscle woman let out a stupid voice.

It wasn’t a heavy blow to wield without overpowering her temper. To the extent that I was much more afraid of the mud golem of the woman with whom I had a duel yesterday.

After roughly estimating the muscular woman in front of me in my head, I swung the blade into the air with all my strength.

The woman’s ax caught in my greatsword flew in the sky for a while, then landed on the floor of the store.

– Kwajak!

“…”

A muscular woman with a dazed expression as if she didn’t know what she was thinking as she stared at her empty hand.

Seeing her dumbfounded expression, wild swear words naturally came out of my mouth, where anger welled up with the time difference.

“Has this eight-year-old turned around?”

“What, what…”

“Why is this bitch showing up at someone else’s favorite store out of the blue? Are you crazy about wanting to lose?”

“… No, that…”

“I’ll give you five seconds, so get out of here quickly. Otherwise…”

The muscular woman, who was staring at the sword I was holding and her flying ax, took a sneak peek at her and moved her steps backwards.

Before I could say, “Would you like to end it?”, He rushed out of the store.

Even the ax that appeared to have been made by another dwarf artisan was left on the shop floor.

“Are you okay, beautiful?”

“Ah, yes. Hit my dog…”

She lets out a shallow sigh as she sits in the checkout chair with her tense expression still on her face.

She pretended to be strong on the outside and had her eyes wide open, but it seemed that her mind was a little disturbed by the ax that was about to be swung right in front of her.

“Ha, write… I was scared… That’s embarrassing in front of my sister…”

“What is there to be ashamed of? Beautiful, you’re not an official hunter, you’re a blacksmith. It’s only natural that she’s scared when a crazy bitch like that swings an ax right in front of her.”

“That’s right. I don’t know what year there are. I need to contact Mr. Dosan to find someone and get a job, I really want it.”

“Who made that woman an axe? Does anyone know who it is?”

“Originally, we dwarves know each other well, so Ankana. Since I was young, I learned how to make knives and how to handle metal, so if I learn for a long time, I can’t help but feel bad about it. Even if a dwarf name you don’t know comes up, it’s as if you know everyone if you cross your legs.”

“Well, I think I’ve heard that from someone before.”

“I thought that crazy bitch would know at least that there would be no benefit to arguing with a dwarf if he had a head, but when he wielded an ax for free, even I was scared of Ancana.”

Of course. Even I, who was watching from a step away, was frightened.

She seemed to be roughly between C-class and B-class based on her impression of sharing swords for a while, but she cautiously guessed that she might end her hunter life from today.

It is a common theory that without a weapon, no matter how good your physical condition is, difficulties will bloom in your hunter life, but that muscular girl threw away her weapon and ran away.

It wouldn’t be difficult to obtain a new weapon itself, but at least it would be impossible to obtain the Dwarf-made weapon that he had been using until now.

Dwarves are a race known for their pride and strong sense of kinship.

Ignoring the craftsmanship of such dwarves and trying to leave weapons to other dwarves wasn’t enough, he couldn’t stand his temper and even tried to use violence against the same dwarves.

Perhaps that woman would soon become a blacklist among dwarf blacksmiths.

If that happens, even getting a new weapon, let alone repair, will be like picking stars from the sky, so if you want to continue your hunter life, you will only be able to get a general weapon used by apprentices or D-class hunters.

It was common knowledge in this world that if the performance of a weapon weakened, it would become difficult to deal with monsters.

Of course, if you have overwhelming skills, you should be able to kill monsters of intermediate level or higher without worrying too much about weapons, but at least this isn’t a story about a muscular woman who just ran out of the store.

“Anyway, what… Thanks for your help, sister. It seems like I only get help from my sister every time.”

“I am the only one who owes you Areum every time, and this much is natural.”

“Did you come to pick up the spear I left with you? I already had all the repairs done.”

“There is that too. There is also a review of how Areum used the shield you made.”

“Have you tried it already? Is it okay if I do it slowly? .”

“It’s not like that, so there’s no need to be sorry. I got a lot of help thanks to your shield.”

I’m not sure if swinging a shield instead of a sword to adjust the killing power was the right way to use it.

As a result, thanks to that, my colleagues at Azure Shield never had to see my face in the newspaper society, so in many ways, it was fortunate.

“I think I took it only a few days ago, but it looks like I used quite a lot. Where did you go to catch mudrello or stonerello with this?”

“… Not similar Although it was probably a bit stronger than mudrello.”

Still, since it was a summoned item of an A+-class hunter, it should have had the power of an A-class monster.

Even I, who hadn’t learned how to shield properly yet, was able to block some of the mud giant’s attacks, so it must mean that Areumie’s shield itself has excellent performance.

With that thought in mind, I was waiting for Areum who went into the workshop to get the spear I had entrusted to her, and soon after, she reappeared with a repaired spear.

The sight of her holding a spear stick between her breasts as if it were natural was now completely familiar.

… I got used to it, and I was still receiving enough visual stimulation.

As I was feeling somewhat disrespectful towards her innocent beauty, she came up to me before I knew it and handed over her repaired spear, she said.

“Don’t be harsh with me this time.”

“… I will try my best.”

“Unni, seeing what you said, I guess I’ll be back soon…” .”

I’m sorry to Areum, but it was an answer I couldn’t bear to deny.
