28 Ch 27: Master Blacksmith (1/2)

The weekend has arrived.

I and Haru decided to take today and tomorrow as a day off from the dungeon.

The reason is obviously my level up.

Actually, there isn't too much to do in a day off in this world.

I'll probably stick around my nose where I can to attract any possible member of the familia.

I think it is best for us to welcome a new member that is young and it is not already a member of another familia...

The reasons are 2. First, we can 'cultivate' new generations and make them grow to have future promising youths, and second, there isn't anyone that would want to enter a newly formed familia like ours...

Well, as I have different productive type skills, it will be very good to nurture children to make them alchemists or blacksmiths...

But it's not like there are so many adventurers that would take that route, as the dungeon is a very profitable business.

Haruhime: Oh, Jean, good morning. Have we not decided to take a day off?

Jean. Good morning. Yeah, but I woke up early today, so I am preparing an abundant breakfast for us.

Haruhime: I'll help.

Jean: Thank you.

And so we decided to cook, and after a bit...

Shiva: *yawn*. Good... morning...

Jean: Good morning, my lovely limp goddess.

Shiva: Oh, by the way... Yesterday I found a blacksmith that can teach you...

Jean: Who, when, and where?

Shiva: Hephaestus of the Hephaestus Familia...*yawn*, she promised to encounter you today at the 9 o'clock at her personal forge... by the way, what time is it?

Haruhime: E-Eight and a half...

The atmosphere froze...

Jean: Fuck! It's practically right now!

Jean: Forget breakfast, I'll run here. See you later guys! Don't worry about me, I'll pick somewhat in the streets... bye!

The distance between here and her forge it isn't too much... If I run, I'll probably make in time!

*pant pant*

...I made it in time...

Now I am in front of the main gate of her residence...

Guard: Halt! Who are you? Why you've come here?

Jean: ...I am here regarding a special matter with the goddess Hephaistos... I am not sure it is like that, but didn't she talk about a young blacksmith coming today?

Guard: Oh! Actually, she discussed that yesterday... so you are Jean Greenlight from the Shiva Familia...

Eh? Is Shiva really that famous?

And yet she had a problem with forming a familia...?

Guard: Hahaha, you might be young and only a new member from her familia, but you might not know about her hardworking personality. She worked with the Ganesha familia, but actually, her presence in different negotiations made them a little more 'easy'.

Jean: Eh... what amazing goddess I encountered...
