Chapter 314

My name is Juano .

I am the leader of a group of 200 dwarves .

I have become the leader ten years ago and am currently in the midst of being questioned for my leaders.h.i.+p skills .

Until a little while ago, I was able to smith at will but after becoming the leader, things have become troublesome .

I can now understand why the former leader always looks sulky .

Meanwhile, a group of them annoyed a certain village and we were informed that they had been imprisoned .

The one who informed us are elves who live in the nearby forest .

Do you know what's funny? How can these ferocious elves who dislike us inform us?

However, that information is helpful .

If we go pick them up, they will release the imprisoned dwarves .

I'm thankful . I'm worried about those guys too .

I want to leave immediately and beat them up upon picking… .

The village they caused trouble to is called Village Five .

Although it has only been founded recently, I heard that influential people from the demon king's kingdom have gathered there .

It is impossible for them to leave without anyone intervening .

As the chief, I have to apologize for what they've done .

I thank the elves for the information they brought and start preparing to leave .

… . eh?

You want my signature as evidence that I have received the information?

Is it necessary?

No, I do have a signature but… . well, if it's really important .

I understand .

I went to Village Five with a few relatively manned people .

If I take someone violent, it will only cause more trouble .

According to the information we gathered before leaving, the purpose of those guys in prison were the weapons and armors sold in Village Five .

To be exact, the magic iron power contained in those weapons and armors .

It seems like they asked the other party to give it to them for free .

Those idiots .

That will only work in dwarven society .

It won't work elsewhere .

If you are in other places, you should have said “Please let us use magic iron power” obediently .

How can they not know that?

That might be the reason why there are not many leader candidates .

We arrived at Village Five .

I think my mouth is wide open .

I heard that Village Five is a really big village .

But where is the village?

Isn't this a huge town, no, this is a city!

Those idiots!

How dare you trouble a place like this?

Kuh… . My stomach hurts .

Fortunately, the representative of Village Five… . . the acting village chief is a very gentle person .

She easily accepted my apology .

Peace of mind .

Since this is the case, she won't execute the imprisoned dwarves .

Also, I won't need to force myself to ask for their freedom .

I want you to punish them according to the law here .

It will become a good medicine for them too .

If you are really troubled, you can work in this village as an apology .

Ah, that's right .

I almost forgot .

I presented an ax to the acting village chief .

「This is wonderful . 」

I was surprised . She can tell .

I'm glad .

I'm sorry for troubling you but, can you show this to the person who forged those weapons using magic iron powder?

He will understand what it means .

I'll wait for your contact .

Inn on the south side … What was the name?

The inns here have similar names so it is a little confusing .

Acting village chief-dono, I think you should do something about that .

It has become a blacksmith showdown .

Areh?

Why?

Did I make a mistake?

I thought that the blacksmith of this village would understand if I showed him my ax .

I am one of the blacksmiths of the demon king's kingdom that adopted the techniques of an eminent blacksmith group .

I intended to prove that there would be no shortage of blacksmiths that can process magic iron powder .

Could it be that they want to test my ability?

If so, I can't decline… .

When I saw the opponent, I was almost blown away .

… . Gutt-dono?

The son of the mayor of Howling Village?

Eh?

The blacksmith of this village is Gutt-dono?

Th-this is bad .

I've completely failed .

My technique came from Howling Village .

I have also trained in Howling Village for several years .

That ax of mine… .

To a blacksmith from Howling Village, being shown of the ax that was forged using the technique of Howling Village is the same as provocation!

This is bad .

He's glaring at me .

Don't-desu .

It's all a misunderstanding-desu .

E-ehto .

「That dwarf over there, if we win, you can't say that we're not skillful enough . 」

Hnn… Gutt-dono raised the edge of his lips while glaring at me .

By chance, do you remember me?

When you met me, you were only a child who hadn't even entered a forge yet…

No no, leave nostalgia aside .

I'm worried about the gaze of the dwarves behind me .

The current me is a leader .

As the leader of this group, I have to stand straight to a challenge even if it is due to a misunderstanding .

Yeah, there's no other way .

「Let's make a weapon better than the beastkin blacksmiths over there . 」

I, myself, don't have time to play .

Let me show you my skill as a blacksmith!

The blacksmith showdown will be taking a week .

Meanwhile, Village Five seems to have a festival .

Kuh, those were some fun music .

Those smell delicious .

I've been served with food and alcohol but they are not this good smelling .

I have never smelled something so delicious smelling before .

As for the alcohol .

Yes, especially that alcohol .

No no .

Concentrate on blacksmithing .

I'll make a once-in-lifetime kind of sword hatchet!

However, I'm curious about those delicious-smelling food and alcohol .

How about we take turns?

If I knew this would happen, I would have brought more people .

Third day .

When I requested acting village chief-dono, she prepared delicious smelling food and alcohol .

We take turns in eating .

The dishes are curry, pizza, udon, and kus.h.i.+katsu .

Umu, they are all delicious .

Especially the kus.h.i.+katsu .

Ho hou, this chicken barbeque and this vegetable dish… . I'm quite happy .

Alcohol .

I was surprised .

I've never had such a delicious alcohol .

Moreover, there are various types .

Among those, I especially like the bubbly beer .

It goes well with kus.h.i.+katsu .

It is so good that I think beer is an alcohol made for kus.h.i.+katsu .

Ah, no .

I almost forgot about blacksmithing .

Don't rush into the banquet .

The banquet is after the blacksmith showdown is over .

The final day .

I almost broke my waist .

The dwarf whom even the dwarven king would care about, the elder dwarf Donovan-sama, has come to see me .

He's here for the blacksmith showdown .

Eh?

You're not here for alcohol?

Ah, Donovan-sama is the one who's making the alcohol in this village… .

It was very delicious .

I'm glad it wasn't before the showdown .

Even I will be nervous in front of Donovan-sama .

The method of judging the blacksmith showdown is simple .

The judges will use the sword hatchet made for the blacksmith showdown to cut a stacked up wooden boards .

Umu .

Our finished product is not bad .

The sword hatchet forged by Gutt-dono is quite good too .

As for the sword hatchet made by those abominable imprisoned dwarves, it's good .

They have that att.i.tude but they are skilled .

The sword hatchet of the group called Village Five team is not bad either .

It is a slightly curved sword that's popular among adventurers these days .

It is also suitable for throwing .

They've studied .

However, there's something I've been worried about since a while ago… .

Why are the judges elves?

If I remember it correctly, those two are the tree king of Gon Forest and archer king of Garets Forest?

Or do they only look similar?

However… . there's no mistake that that elf there is a high elf .

Or am I mistaken?

As the result of the review of the judges, the winner of the blacksmith showdown is Village Five's team .

The imprisoned dwarves complained saying that they were favored but I'm convinced with their win .

The sword hatchet I made emphasized appearance too much .

On the other hand, the Village Five team emphasized practical use .

It seems like they were able to utilize their advantage of receiving orders from adventurers .

As for Gutt-dono… . I think he was harmed by his frequent use of magic iron powder .

Though a lot of first-cla.s.s materials were prepared for this blacksmith showdown, there's no magic iron powder .

Gutt-dono was supposed to compete without magic iron powder .

Given the presence or not of magic iron powder, the tempering, forging method, and even fire handling is different .

This time, I feel like he was not able to fully demonstrate his ability because he's adjusting on those areas .

If the showdown is one more week longer, Gutt-dono would win .

I'm disappointed in losing the showdown but I'm satisfied with the result .

By the way, I have to apologize to Gutt-dono to resolve the misunderstanding .

I didn't show the ax as provocation …

Areh?

There are familiar people around Gutt-dono…

Ehto… . from the right, they are the bloodsucking princess and the angel of annihilation… . .

「Are you the one who provoked Gutt?」

「Ara, Loo-san, do you know Juano-s.h.i.+?」

「Yeah, I asked him to sharpen my favorite dagger a few times . 」

Yes, she did ask me that several times .

I can still remember those times .

In the middle of the night, there was a tyrannical customer that commanded me to sharpen a dagger and would not take no for an answer .

「That dagger was broken by you . 」

「Ah, is it that dagger you used to cut off my right arm?」

「Yeah, that one . 」

「That cuts well . 」

「It was a waste . It seems like you know him too . 」

「Yeah, I asked him for some armors for the angels . 」

That was because of the relations.h.i.+p our group has with the angels . We've been acquainted for several generations .

The deadline is so tight that it can kill someone .

Moreover, the most annoying part is the details about decorations… . it's difficult too .

Why do they ask for carvings at the inner side of the armor?

n.o.body will see it .

I don't know what it means too .

It will only reduce the durability .

It is probably because if you take a hit, you'll have carved bruise on your skin .

However, they are wearing clothes as undergarments so that's not possible .

Anyway .

I knew from the atmosphere that they were related to this village .

Conclusion .

Let's not get involved with this village .

Though I wanted to use magic iron power, it's not worth it .

Eh?

Oh, acting village chief-dono .

You want to speak about various things… . eh?

How many good blacksmiths do we have?

No, we're leaving tomorrow . ……

You want to make the imprisoned dwarves your subordinates?

Those guys will not listen to me .

There will be a banquet from today onwards?

Though I'll be happy to……there were other alcohols aside from what Donovan-sama made?

Ooohhh .

The next day .

The group of dwarves I'm supposed to be leading is working as blacksmiths in Village Five .

I don't even know why .

Alcohol is bad .

Kus.h.i.+katsu is bad .

Somehow, new dishes are delicious .

I…no, I hope our future is bright .
