Not Sure, Another World Reincarnation

Chapter 106: Master! A Flag Appears From the Sky!

Right. The harvest festival was over, and my life returned peacefully as usual. Actually, that was a lie. Hahaha.

Uh, its really peaceful, though.

Now that the open-air class was over, I didnt have any particular business with Triela and the others, not to mention the Autumns dropped temperatures and frequent rainfall, and the troublesome nature of going outside, so I didnt continue going to their house and instead spent my days forging swords and training my other skills as I secluded myself.

Also, you see. On the last day of the harvest festival, I found out about something that I didnt want to know Being able to live peacefully was a blessing, for real.

Leaving that aside, the adventurer Vector rang a bell in my mind. I tried digging up my memories, and I realized I had heard about him before.

Red-haired Vector.

If I remember right, he was an adventurer who gained popularity at a stretch three years ago. A swordsman with dark red hair and eyes. Yeah, that was the same as Becks appearance. I think he was fifteen years old at that time. With how their age was also the same, they most likely were the same person.

This country was located a middling distance from the northernmost reaches of the continent, where it frequently snowed during the winter months, with the mountain snowfall undoubtedly increased by the mere presence of powerful ice monsters and demon beasts that appeared from time to time.

If you didnt know, people call those unique monsters the masters of winter. If no one vanquished them they would go into hiding once winter ended to build up their power for the next years.

While I was still living in the orphanage three to five years ago, one such beast was spotted nearby. Im certain that it was the master of winter whose death popularized the adventurer Vector I remember it well as the three fools made a stir about the subjugation at the time.

When I was living in the orphanage, the last winter didnt snow much, so he shouldve defeated it in the previous year.

But when I secluded in the forest the next year, the snowfall increased. Maybe another monster appeared again.

Well, it turns out that the promising adventurer had royal blood I kind of want to ask him what would happen if he died. Actually no, I didnt want to know the answer.

By the way, most royalties had bright red or light brown hair and eye color. I hadnt heard any gossip about royalties with dark red features recently, so that man was probably using the [Disguise] skill. Probably just like how he cheated his name in his status.

I learned a lot more from the information I peeped, but I wanted to forget it. Lets not talk about it anymore. Dont think too badly of me, please.

I also learned many things about [Analysis] skill after realizing that I could see another persons status with that skill.

I was wondering if [Analysis] was only the level-up version of [Appraisal] that let me see the detailed information of an item, but it turns out I could see through [Concealment] and [Disguise] with it.

I needed the [Detection] skill to see through [Concealment] and [Disguise], but apparently [Analysis] included that function as well Thinking that it was weird, I tried using [Analysis] on the skill itself. And I found out that it was a top-level skill of [Appraisal] that covered multiple [Appraisal] system skills.

[Appraisal] system skill? As far as I knew, the order should be: [Judgement], [Detection], [Appraisal], and [Analysis] Yup, I dont get it. Maybe there are more skills that I dont know.

Just by seeing the skills name, I could get a gist of the orders or maybe not. Ah, but [Detection] and [Appraisal] were two high-level skills of a similar level, right? But now that I had learned [Analysis], I didnt need [Detection] anymore.

Then again, the effect seemed to multiple if I had various skills with the same function? If so, theres no loss in learning it. But Im not sure how to learn low-level skills Should I go to the guilds reference room next time?

Thats how I devoted myself to my blacksmith training while thinking about my skills not very seriously. Until that afternoon came.

On that day, I wrapped up my work in the morning a little earlier than usual and moved to the dining room. But there was no one there, other than the landlady and staff working there.

As I wondered if I should take my time and wait until everyone gathered, the landlady started serving the meal and asked me to call everyone, so I willingly agreed. I ate delicious foods every day thanks to her, so I could at least do this.

Thats why I went around each workshop and called everyone one by one, but I couldnt find Master and the apprentice kid.

How strange. Oh, thats right, the apprentice kid should be in charge of customer service, so he should be at the front desk. Without any delay, I went there to find him. And he was here as expected.

Ah, Ren. Whats wrong? I came to call you since its time to eat lunch Do you know wheres Master? Master is currently talking to the customers. Im not sure if theyre discussing business or consulting something else

The apprentice kid pointed to the corner with a chair and table for business negotiations. When my gaze moved there, I saw Master. I see, he was undoubtedly talking to customers. It seems like the apprentice kid doubled as a server and standby staff. Hmm, what should I do?

Hmm, the customers were two men Eh? Fgwh.

Ah, uh. It was Vector. And Neil.

Seriously What was this? A flag? I raised a flag, right? My face was wholly exposed too. This is the worst

Its my mistake for hesitating whether to escape or not. The moment Neil noticed me and saw my face, he became petrified.

He spotted me. I shouldve run when I had the chance

Neil? Whats wrong? Eh? Ah, no

Vector noticed Neils unusual behavior and called him out. Master caught a glimpse of me and called out.

Hm? Oh, Miss. What happened? Ah, no. I came to call you since its time for lunch Im sorry for disturbing you. Ahh Sorry, Im still busy right now. Yes

Yeah, this was very awkward.

Neil? Anything bothered you? Ah? Uh, yeah. Thats um. Is there something wrong with that girl? Shes charming, isnt she Huh? I feel like Ive seen her before?

Neil whispered something to Vector, who just noticed me. After a while, Vectors expression when looking at me turned into one full of astonishment Ugh, this is the worst.

Hey, Vector. That girl is my important customer. Dont mess around her.

Eh? No, no. Its nothing like that, Vector said with a shady laugh. I could only see him trying to hide his intention Now that I learned the truth I didnt want to know, this person became awfully shady. Also, he looked like a dishonest man.

Haa Lets return to our topic. Ill say this clearly; I cant take this request. Please give up. Cant you at least try it? Even if you said that

Thanks to Master forcefully returning to the business talk, they somehow lost their focus on me. But I feel like they would make trouble? Anyway, Master said that he couldnt take their request. Just what kind of request was that?

Arnold, you were the one who forged the sword Im currently using Im not implying that this sword is of bad quality, in fact, there are hardly any blacksmiths in this country who can forge this kind of sword. Even so, Im not confident enough with this sword for this particular subjugation request.

I heard that already. But like I said, its hard to make anything more amazing than that sword. Its not an exaggeration to say that its my greatest work when I made it. If you want a genuine sword, Im confident I can forge something better with my current skill. But you want a better mana sword. Thats The attributes I can bestow to a sword is just a small bonus. I dont mind forging the sword, but you should ask someone else to bestow it.

I dont know any alchemists who can bestow skills to weapons above this level.

How about the guy across the street? Hes better than me at forging mana swords.

Thats No, youre right. If we look at the bestowed skill level, hes more skilled than you, Arnold. However, the quality of the sword is not enough. I also heard that youre not close to each other after quarreling when you become independent. Its impossible to make you cooperate with him to forge me a sword, right?

Impossible. Leaving me aside, I dont think hell agree.

Hmm. From what I heard, Vector wanted a mana sword. But Master couldnt forge something with the level he wanted Ah! By the way, Vector said he asked Master to develop his sword too before. So Master forged a mana sword! I didnt know! Well, it should be some secret, so its normal he didnt tell me.

Maybe its the sword on the table? [Appraisal] Er, it looked like a one-handed sword with slightly longer blades, the best quality mithril sword. It was bestowed with [Fire Attribute Lv 2] Hmm?

If so, I dont mind a mana sword with the same bestowal. Can you forge me a new one? But that wont be any different from that sword. Even if I made a good one, itd be hard to pair it with the same degree of bestowal, you know? Youre right, but I still want to be prepared as much as possible. And I prepared the materials for this time. The previous sword is made of Mithril, you know? Do you have anything better than that? Yes. I have prepared Adamantite. Adamantite!? Yes I cant find Orichalcum. I know that But Adamantite, huh You wont make an excuse that you never handled it before, right? Ive dealt with it several times before. But its not a material suitable for bestowing skills It may be difficult for me to grant something similar to the previous sword. Uh But I dont have anyone else to ask! Can you please give it a try?

Adamantite! I was about to scream, but I managed to swallow it.

I want to touch rare materials, how envious Master, accept it. Itll be super nice if you could show me the materials. If you could let me touch it, I would leap in joy! When that happens, I can feed you something delicious as a token of gratitude, you know?

As I was having such a thought, my eyes met with Masters. What is it?

I responded by tilting my head. After looking at me, Master thought of something for a while. Then he approached me and talked to me.

Hey, Miss. Wont you forge a mana sword for them?

Huh?
