The three had arrived at the pre-arranged meeting point. At that moment, at a street corner not far away, Tiona was waving casually in their direction, immediately attracting the attention of passersby.

then……

"Ok?"

The little angel, who comes from the Amazons and dresses rather daringly, always seems a bit odd.

"Why are all these people looking at me with pity? I'm so angry."

She couldn't help but grit her teeth and clench her fists.

Hey~

Today, even the innocent-minded but incredibly conscious of 'feminine charm' little angel, Tiona, is having another heartbreaking day.

******

On Ying's side, after meeting up with Tiona and Ais, who had just left the Gubernian Familia, the group immediately began their shopping trip.

According to the 'meticulous plan' that Rafia had been thinking about all night yesterday (Shirai Kuroko, are you?), they would be going to many clothing stores today.

Both blonde girls with golden eyes had a strange sense of foreboding.

However, putting aside the extent to which those girls will cause trouble, let's look at Ling Shu's side...

"I always feel like I'm losing my confidence by getting too close to you."

In the northeastern part of the city, within the 'Urban Second District - Industrial Zone', Ling Shu (Kong), who had already met with Welf, was listening to the former muttering to himself...

"I've only been learning 'forging' for less than half a month, and I spent a week on an 'expedition' during that time. Now I can try to forge 'advanced equipment'."

At this moment, the red-haired youth, speaking with the accent of Captain Olga, couldn't help but turn his head to look at the blond boy beside him, who was half a head shorter than him, and asked, "Are you really human?"

"Of course, it's humans."

By now, the two had become quite familiar with each other, and Ling Shu (Kong) could even be a little cheeky and make some lighthearted jokes, "Actually, it's nothing much, just that you have a steady hand, more stamina, a smarter brain, better comprehension, and are handsome..."

"Stop, stop, stop."

Hearing such a pure Versailles statement, and being unable to refute it, one can imagine the frustration Welf felt.

However, he does not dislike this way of getting along.

She even felt that she was very lucky to have made Ling Shu (Kong) as a friend.

because……

"What do you call that... big what?"

"Damascus steel patterned steel".

"Oh right, that one... the name is really hard to pronounce."

Welf muttered a complaint under his breath, then asked, "This forging technology, which other companies would definitely keep secret, you can really just tell me about it so easily?"

Recently, because of this incident, he felt that Ling Shu (Kong) was too generous.

Unfortunately, what the other party 'given' was exactly what he, the blacksmith, wanted most—technical knowledge.

Putting aside everything else, when Ling Shu (Kong) came to ask for advice on basic forging knowledge, he wasn't so generous and directly revealed his family's forging techniques.

On the other hand...

"Let me emphasize again, this is not my technology."

Ling Shu (Kong) has a rather 'awkward' personality when it comes to this kind of thing.

He will use the intangible wealth that comes from the long history of his home planet Earth, and be proud of it.

But he would never say that it was something he created.

They will always emphasize that they are the 'users' who benefited, not the 'pioneers' who made the sacrifices.

Perhaps in some people's eyes, this would be seen as a conflicted mentality of seeking fame and fortune.

But Ling Shu doesn't like doing things he doesn't want to do.

A moment of peace and contentment is priceless.

In short...

"This technique has been widely spread in my hometown... Besides, I wasn't a blacksmith before, I just heard a little bit of the 'idea' from others."

"If it weren't for your help recently, which helped me figure things out, I would have been completely clueless."

Ling Shu patted Welf on the back, "So, don't dwell on this anymore."

"I really feel like this technology is too hot to handle. It would be better to just help me choose the materials properly."

Hearing him say that...

"Oh, that's a must."

Welf smiled confidently, "Leave it to me."

At this moment, the two were walking together in the blacksmith shop street near the Hephaestus Familia's residence... Today, Welf was going to teach Ling Shu (Kong) the basics, just like 'a chef must know how to buy vegetables,' and tell him how to develop an eye for selecting the best metal materials.

And... how to avoid being ripped off by the shopkeeper.

"You're going to try forging 'advanced equipment' this time. It might be too early for mithril, but you can give 'hard steel' a try."

"Let me tell you, this rare metal is actually extracted from all sorts of monsters..."

A straightforward, red-haired young man is earnestly giving Ling Shu (Kong) one-on-one tutoring.

Sudden……

"Huh? Welf?"

A slightly surprised female voice came from a shop nearby.

At that moment, Ling Shu could clearly feel that Welf, who was originally in high spirits while talking about his professional field, suddenly trembled all over.

A mouse saw a cat?

Well, perhaps this description is a bit inappropriate, but that's roughly the atmosphere.

at the moment……

"Huh? You actually made friends?"

The bold and forthright female voice is becoming increasingly familiar.

Moreover, it's full of irony.

His tone carried a playful air, as if to say, "Could the sun have risen in the west?"

Finally, the owner of the voice approached...

"..."

A brown-skinned woman with an eye patch over her left eye and only a bandage wrapped around her upper body approached Welf.

Her slightly wavy black hair reached her waist, and her right eye, which was exposed, revealed a red pupil. At this moment, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and her right hand was gently touching her chin, revealing a mischievous smile, just like an older sister who was teasing her younger brother.

"Oh my, are you blushing?"

The one-eyed woman laughed, hands on her hips. "Hahaha, it's been so long since I've seen you make that expression. When was the last time?"

"You bastard, that's enough."

There seemed to be bulging veins on Welf's forehead.

As for Ling Shu (Kong)...

Well, in this situation, he wisely chose to keep quiet.

However, he knew the identity of the woman who had suddenly approached him on her own.

【One-Eyed Master】Tsubaki Kobrand, Level 5 Level 1 Adventurer.

The leader of the Hephaestus Familia.

Chapter 75 So what if you're rich?

As the 'absolute center' of the world's attention, the labyrinth city of Orario is a gathering place for heroes, and is never short of talents.

For example, the person in front of me...

Most adventurers struggle to reach level 2, enduring countless hardships and dangers, and can easily lose their lives if they're not careful.

The gods even used this threshold to distinguish between 'higher-level and lower-level adventurers'.

She's fine, though.

"As a blacksmith, I only occasionally go to the dungeon to test my skills on those monsters, and before I knew it, I was already at Lv.5, hahaha~"

Listen to this, is this even human language?

Without a doubt, someone who can casually utter such a statement, scratching the back of their head in public, with the potential to be ridiculed by everyone...

"I'll definitely max out the 'idiot' attribute."

Ling Shu (Kong) had a plan in mind.

At this time...

"You're the friend Welf knows... huh?"

Chun approached Ling Shu (Kong) with an air of familiarity, scrutinized him for a while, and said, "You look familiar, like I've seen you somewhere before..."

"Hey!"

Welf couldn't help but interject, like a protective mother hen, standing between Tsubaki and Ayaka (Sora), "Are you always this free, Commander?"

Hearing him say that...

"You're still the same as ever, always speaking with a sharp tongue."

Chun spread her hands and shrugged, looking indifferent. "But... well, you're right, I'm really free right now."

"..."

Welf fell silent.

Judging from the red-haired youth's facial expression at this moment, it was as if he was saying, "I really can't handle this kind of person."
