After that, we entered Selkadia and parted ways, and I logged out.
The following day.
「Aya! Yesterday was fun!」
「Un!」
「We’ll do it again together, right?」
「Of course!」
―――
――
I logged in at the usual time after I got home, then left the inn.
I hunted a lot of Forest Wolves yesterday, so I sold them at the Adventurer’s Guild.
The Adventurer’s Guild is a place where any job or race can register and sell the monsters they hunted and the things they gathered!
Plus! The Adventurer’s Guild will even dismantle it for you if you pay them!!
…
So I sold off the dozens of Forest Wolves I had, and my money went up to about 12,600G.
When I finished selling, I decided to return to Fanst, the city where I started.
I came back to say goodbye to Gale-san from the Blacksmith’s Guild and to the lady at the inn.
I was planning to go to the next city eventually, so the sooner the better.
And so I departed from Selkadia with my initial weapon, a shortsword in hand.
There were fewer monsters on the way back, and I didn’t stray from the path in the heat of battle, reaching Fanst in less than an hour.
「Gail-san」
「Hmm? What is it?」
「I, I was thinking of making Selkadia my base」
「A~a, I see. I’m gonna be a little lonely without you!」
「Gail-san…」
「Because the things you make are the best I’ve seen!!」
「… Hahaha…」
「We~ll, at any rate! Good luck in your new location!」
「Yes! Thank you for your help, however brief it was!」
I bowed deeply in gratitude.
「Ah! Come by again!」
「Yes!」
After parting with Gail-san, I headed to the inn.
The innkeeper still had a room for me, so I’d have to cancel it.
「Oba-chan!」
「Oya? Is that you, Ayane-chan?」
「Yes!」
「What’s the matter?」
「Actually, I was thinking of setting up a base in Selkadia――」
I said goodbye to oba-chan and headed back to Selkadia, which took about 40 minutes.
Then, the next step is to dismantle Liefel.
To do so, I decided to make a knife first.
The reason why I dismantle it myself is because the Adventurer’s Guild charges money.
I don’t have that much money, so I decided to do it myself.
But I’ve never seen, much less done, any dismantling.
So I’m going to ask the staff of the Adventurer’s Guild to teach me.
Okay, let’s get started on the knife.
With that in mind, I decided to head to the Blacksmith’s Guild in this city.
「…Eh? Gail… san??」
I was confused.
After all, Gail-san, who is supposed to be in Fanst, is in Selkadia.
「O~tsu! From the looks of it, you’re the one from Fanst!」
「Eh?… Eh?」
「Ah! Gail is my brother, and my name is Gol!」
「Y-Yes!」
「So, what brings you here? I don’t have to ask! You’re here to make something, aren’t you?」
「Yes. I decided to make a knife」
「I see! Good luck with that!」
「Yes! Thank you very much!」
Gail-san’s brother, Gol-san, looked and sounded just like him. They must be twins.
With that out of the way, I quickly made a knife for dismantling.
――Ka~ankka~an~! Ka~a~an~! !
This time, the knife is made from a surplus of iron.
The blade is thicker than usual so that it will not break easily.
To make it easier to cut the meat, the blade was sharpened using the whetstone included in the blacksmithing kit.
The handle of the knife is of course made of wood from the Fanst forest.
… Well, there’s also the fact that this is the only material available.
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
【Name】Dismantling Knife: Quality 5
【Description】It’s thicker and sharper than a regular cleav… Knife. The handle is not slippery and can be used as a weapon.
Durability: 470
STR: 46
DEX: 40
【Producer】 Ayane
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
Perhaps because it is thicker than a sword, it has superior durability.
… But I won’t use it as a weapon!
I mean, is this more of a weapon than the initial shortsword…?
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
【Name】Shortsword: Quality 1
【Description】A weapon for beginners, loved by beginners. The durability value is very high… It’s made of steel.
Durability: 99999
STR: 30
【Producer】 ???
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
《Appraisal LV. 3→4》
Oh, the level went up, too.
This is the appraisal result of the shortsword.
The durability is monstrous, but I guess this is a remedy for those who have run out of weapons.
If not for durability, a dismantling knife would be a better weapon to use… Well, I wouldn’t use it as a weapon.
Now that the knife is ready, I head to the Adventurer’s Guild to dismantle Liefel and rent a corner of the dismantling area.
「Ano ~o. Do you have a minute…?」
「What is it?」
「Excuse me, would you mind teaching me how to dismantle…?」
I spoke to a female employee who was dismantling (at the end of the day, of course) and asked her to teach me.
「Ka…!」
「Ka…?」
「Kawai ~i~i~ii! ! ! !」
「Mugi ~yu~uu! !」
It’s, pain, ful.
「A beautiful girl with short red hair is looking up at me…!!! Ki ~ya~a~a! ! !」
「――!? ――!!!」
I can’t breathe with those ample breasts that I lack.
I can feel my HP slowly decreasing…
「Good, good! I’ll teach you every step of the way, hip by hip, a~a~a!」
「………. Ki ~yu~u…」
「Hm? H-huh? Are you okay!?」
There are some ・things・ that are more powerful than monsters… (collapsed)
T/N.
Now, the reason why the title is meat cleaver rather than a knife is because, what Ayane made looks more like a meat cleaver than a knife. I guess she doesn’t care either way?
And have you figured out the ・things・ that are more powerful than monsters? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
