228 226 Wheres Grandpa Garth? (1/2)
Royce gave me an ID, and now I have a plan to go to the Land of the Beasts. And then what do we have left to do before we leave?
”Yes, I have to go see Grandpa Garth.”
We were talking about coming back by the militant tournament, but would we be back in Urmut already? Grandpa Garth's acquaintance said he'd let me know when he got back...
Do you want to go to the blacksmith for now? Maybe he just didn't come to see me during the tournament.
”Blacksmith?”
'Oh, let's go. Let's ask Grandpa Garth if he's back already. ”
The sun has just fallen. At this hour, I wouldn't say he's still asleep. You want to take a souvenir for once?
On the road, buy the strongest liquor in the tavern. When it comes to dwarves, it's booze. I was worried they would sell it, but the owner of the liquor store also knew Fran's face and had no problems at all. He even gave me a discount when I shook his hand.
With that liquor in one hand, we visited a blacksmith who knew Garth - Zado.
”Hey, lady! Happy winning!
”Mmm, thank you.”
Zado was also coming to the arena to watch the game, apparently.
He welcomed me with great joy when I gave him a souvenir. I didn't really care, but you seemed like a pretty fancy drink.
We asked about Garth and he said he hadn't come back to Urmut yet.
”The guys who went into Barbora's aid with Garth are already back.”
”Not just Garth back?
”That's right. Maybe he took on a job in Barbora that only Garth could do.”
”Yes.”
”That said, I'm not the kind of guy who wouldn't call me back before the fight.”
Well, we're headed to Barbora to find a ship to Beast Country, too. So let's look again. I don't know when I'll see you again if I go to the Beast Nation.
I heard what I was asking, so I tried to go home, but Zado definitely pulled me over.
”Well, that sword...”
Zado's gaze is definitely looking at me. It was the same eye I had the first time I saw Fran's Black Cat series.
Well, if you're here for a martial arts tournament, the reality will call me the Devil's Sword. Besides, if you were a good blacksmith, you'd easily spot it as a demon sword if you saw it.
”Hey, it's okay, can I see it?
Master?
'Well, a little bit. But you're telling me never to equip you, right? Because it's dangerous, right?
”Okay. Yes.”
Oh, thank you.
”But if I'm equipped, I'll die of a curse”
”What?”
”If anyone but me equips, there's a death curse.”
Hearing the words, Zadeau stopped perfectly the hand he was reaching out to me. There is definitely fear in that face.
Well, you don't normally want to have a death sword when you're equipped. If you don't lick it, you can touch it, but I don't want to touch the poison. It would go with that.
I don't know what to say to myself, but I also know Zadeau says I'm the one who draws a line with those demon swords there. That's why you must know what Fran says about the curse of death is true.
”Do you mind if I touch you?
”If you just touch it”
”Oh well...”
