Reincarnated as a Farmer Gamer: Rising to the Top with the Evolution of the Weakest Job that Only I Know About!? - 31.1

“Hey, Arche. Aren’t you sticking to him a bit too much!?”

“Eh~ Beryl-kun~ It’s fine, right?”

“…………”

“He looks troubled.”

“Geez! Chester is so annoying!”

“…………”

Damn it all! If you’re going to bicker like that, do it somewhere else! Why drag me into this!

After receiving yesterday’s magic stone money, when I tried to head to the blacksmith with Arche-san, that shield guy from the other day tagged along. However, the good vibes weren’t exactly coming through.

It’s like… you’re my enemy or something. That kind of look. It’s not bragging, but I’ve received looks like that many times before.

Once I get directions to the blacksmith, let’s just head back. Yeah, let’s do that.

After that, I had a tough time caught between Chester-san and Arche-san’s nagging.

The blacksmith was unexpectedly not on the main street but quietly nestled in a back alley.

“Maria~ Are you there~?”

As soon as we entered, Arche-san called out, and from the back, there was the sound of metal, and a man appeared.

“Arche. My wife is out on errands.”

“Hey~ Mieger~”

“I see. Unusually with Chester today. Who’s the boy?”

“I’ll introduce him~ His name’s Beryl-kun. He’s really strong. He wants to make a new weapon, so I wanted to introduce him to Mieger.”

“I see. If Arche is introducing him, he must be no ordinary lad. Very well then. Boy, what kind of weapon do you want?”

The two behind me know him to some extent, so it should be fine.

“Nice to meet you. My name is Beryl. I’d like to have a weapon of this type made.”

I placed Black Size on the counter.

He twitched his eyebrows for a moment but gazed at Black Size without changing his expression.

“It’s not a spear shape… Is this… a scythe? It’s an unusual weapon type.”

“Yes. It’s a weapon type called Great Scythe Size. Can you make it?”

“No. I can’t.”

Oh, crap… He can’t make it…

“――――Not until now, that is. Hmm… Boy, can I borrow this weapon for a day?”

“That’s fine~”

Whether he’s trustworthy or not can be seen in his eyes.

Thanks to always reading my father’s expressions in my past life, I’ve observed a lot of people’s eyes.

Mieger’s eyes now… They’re those of a curious craftsman. He’s trying to convince himself of this weapon’s shape, which he’s seeing for the first time.

“But still, it’s roughly made. It looks like something a beginner blacksmith would make.”

“I understand. That’s exactly right.”

“Hmm. But… If a beginner made this, then… it’s rather pitiful.”

“Pitiful… Why do you say that?”

“The craftsmanship is rough, but there’s an incredible spirit imbued within. Even with the same materials, it would be extremely difficult to create something of this quality.”

I don’t understand weapon-making well. In games, I’ve always aimed for rare drops.

“A Great Scythe… Interesting.”
