Chapter 122 A New Staff

On the way, there was no incident where a carriage was attacked by monsters and we were able to arrive at the castle town of Diana before evening. With this, there would be no problem if we go to see Gan-san right away. Its just in the last minute of Bristly Beards business hours.

Well then, we are going this way.

Yeah, see you later. It saved the trouble that you went along with us to the academy.

Chinatsu also needs it after all. Dont worry about it.

Now that we safely arrived at Diana, each of us will go our separate way. Nell and Chinatsu are going to another shop to get Chinatsus staff, and then going to Nells mansion. This is where we partway for today.

Chinatsu-chan, see you~

See you too, Haruna. Dont get too absorbed in cooking.

Dont worry, Gobuo-kun will support me!

Gobu!

Haru-chan~, I want meat~. Im a carnivorous woman after all~

Perhaps its because Lily has done a job-like job for the first time in a while, she has no energy more than usual. If I leave her in the town, shes likely to fall asleep on the ground like a drunkard, so lets have Gobuo take her home first. A maid whos taken away by a goblin. Ahh, its a kind of sight that would make the goblin scholars from somewhere have bloodshot eyes. I dont understand, but it must be like that for them. In reality, the maid is more dangerous.

Hmm. Nell and Chinatsu went their separate way and Lily went home first. So that leaves me and Haru. Although the trip was actually about three or four days, it feels like its been a while since its just the two of us. Even if we are home, there are the nonhumans there.

A helper goblin that helps Haru while wearing an exclusive apron. On the other hand, a succubus whos the best only in appearance but less competent than an apprentice. Ah, Gobuo is much more of a servant than her.

Shish, my weapon! Lets go get my weapon!

Ah, thats right. I understand, so dont pull my hand so hard. Be aware that your strength is over 700.

Its okay! Im sure Shish can endure it!

You are doing it while knowing that, huh.

Still, we cant just sit around here. Wed better go before Bristly Beard closes.

Ah, the fish is cheap today too! Shish, this is a good buy! Im going to haggle it down to half price!

Oi.

Harus motherly temperament overflowed. Haru, please do it at least when we are going home.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I dragged Haru, whose eyes sparkled at the market for the first time in a long time, to the front of Bristly Beards shop. Alright, looks like its still open.

Clank clank.

The doorbell ring and we go inside. Over the counter, Anita greets us

Kuu~, munya.

Or not. She has the nerve to sleep! Moreover, shes sleeping so pleasantly and so soundly. This shop really doesnt get any customers, huh. Well, if I consider that I can monopolize Gan-sans skill, its a great deal. However, it doesnt mean that its okay for the salesgirl to sleep. She needs to be taught a lesson about the harshness of society.

*Inhales* Gan-saaaan! Anita is slacking off and sleeping! She doesnt even seem to notice the customers!

Yeah, Gan-san will teach her. Me? You see, Im busy as Harus master.

Ugya!? W-Whats going on!?

Hey, Anita! Did you sleep during work again!? The customers who come here are precious, so serve them seriously!

Geh, Boss!? Ouch!

Ohh, Gan-sans gender equality fist exploded. Its a blow with a strong fist trained by blacksmithing. That must be hurt.

Kuh W-Welcome, Deris-danna. Im really going to resent you

Its payback for what you have done. Besides, its your fault for sleeping at work.

Anita fights the pain, holding her head down on the counter. I hope that pain will lead you to the right path.

Aint it unfair that you are making a fair argument only at a time like this?

No, its not. Im making fair arguments at any time, and if necessary, I use sophistry. By the way, Gan-san, we are here to get that thing.

Yeah, its finished, you know? Its too big to put here, so I put it in my workshop. You can check it there. Come on, Ojou-chan, you can come in too.

Is that okay!? Then, Im coming!

Dont get too excited and break the other equipment~

With Gan-sans permission, we cross over the counter and enter the blacksmiths workshop. As if to follow us, Anita also hey.

Anita, I just told you a moment ago

D-Dont look me with such eyes thats as if lookin at a pathetic creature, Boss! I wanna see your masterpiece too! You usually wont let me in your workshop after all!

She has pure and innocent sparkling eyes only at a time like this, huh.

Um, do you want me to tend the shop in your stead?

That would defeat the purpose, Ojou-chan Ahh, fine. We are going to close the shop anyway. Hey, Anita. Go and take down the open sign. We wont have any more customers that way.

Really!? Boss, I love you~!

Unlike the way she slept a while ago, Anita went out at a reasonable speed to take down the sign. Gan-san, hes soft despite everything, huh.

Gan-san, she said she loves you, you know? Isnt it time to finally settle down?

Thats a tough joke

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A huge cloth-covered object was placed near the wall of the blacksmiths workshop. Yeah, it seems that he forged exactly what I ordered. Its really wonderful.

Hey, Deris. Dont get impressed by yourself, show it to Ojou-chan.

Can I take off this cloth? I can take off this cloth, right!?

Danna, putting on airs will have the opposite effect, you know?

Im not even allowed to be impressed, huh Haru, take a look at your new partner.

When I gave the permission, Haru restlessly rushed to the wall and put her hand on the cloth covering the staff. Then, she took off the cloth.

T-This is

How is it, amazing, right? After all, its the only thing Ive been using my hammer for lately. Its my masterpiece.

S-Say, Boss, Danna. Is this a staff?

What was placed on the pedestal was something full black just like the black staff for practice. However, its shape and size are different from the previous one.

The most obvious difference the size. Even now that its lying horizontally, its overwhelming hugeness can be seen. If Haru actually holds it, it will easily exceed her height, two meters, no, maybe even more. At the same time, we should not overlook the tip of the staff, which is usually a jewel or a decoration that shows the dignity of the staff and the might of its magic. Id like to point out in advance that there is no such thing as a jewel attached to this staff. Its not necessary because all the black magic stones that make up the staff play that role. Rather, adding a jewel will be a hindrance. After all, theres a vicious blade attached to this part.

Hmm, no matter how I see it, its a rugged halberd rather than a staff, aint it? Look, its got this huge axe-like blade

Its not a blade. Its just a somewhat wicked decoration. Its just a staff. Yes, a staff.

Ehh

Yeah, thats right. It can slash, stab, and smash, but this is a staff. If I, a professional magician, say so, then theres no mistake. QED.

Hngh! Its a bit heavy after all. But, it fits well in my hand! Shish, Gan-san, thank you very much!

Its all right. I was worried whether you could hold it or not, but it looks like thats not a problem.

Its easy to hit the wall indoors, so keep it in the pouch when you are moving.

Eh, what!? Everyone accepted it as a staff!?

Q.E.D.!
