Leaving Golan-san by himself and returning to the inn, we relaxed a bit in our room, then ate dinner in the restaurant on the first floor with Doganbo-san.

「As always, it’s still heavily spiced.」

「Well, Dwarf cuisine is like that. Didn’t we buy all sorts of spices because of that?」

Because we requested for the food to not be too spicy for Kaede and Lulu-chan, the two were able to enjoy the food too.

Dwarven Cuisine is spicy when it’s spicy, and sweet when it’s sweet, so for those of us who were used to the food Marnie and Maria make, it was a new experience, but it was impossible for us to have it all the time.

The next morning, we went to the Magic Device shops at the guidance of Doganbo-san and Golan-san.

Golan-san returned to the inn late at night yesterday. He said he would make adamantite into one sword, but I refined a lot and had plenty of room to spare, so he used all of it up before returning.

In the end, he said he created two swords, a knife, and taught them strictly.

「Takumi, sorry about yesterday. The apprentices were too disappointing that I couldn’t take it.」

「It was only a bit of refining, so it was alright.」

Ever since Doisy-san[1] succeeded as the Workshop Chief, they succeeded in sales. They sold a mass of good quality steel weapons and armor in the war with Triaria Kingdom and the mayhem of Divine Empire of Sydnia as of late.

「Those foolish apprentices had not made a single mithril weapon or armor these past three years. I’m speechless.」

A knight order’s uniform equipment was normally steel, and the knight leaders with enough allowance in their coffers had prepared mithril equipment by themselves. That’s why Doisy-san’s strategy was not wrong, but it was wrong to make the room which had Golan-san’s treasured magic furnace into a storage room.

We continued to follow Golan-san and Doganbo-san to stroll through the city.

Since we’ve already gotten things like ingredients and seasonings aside from the magic devices and accessories, we’ll take our time to look at the magic devices today.

Gnomstoll Kingdom was not involved in Valkyra Kingdom, Lomaria Kingdom, and Yggurle Kingdom’s longstanding war with Triaria Kingdom. Rather, because they actively traded with both sides, the country was stable and the economy was doing well.

Because it was difficult for bandits and refugees to flow in, the country was stable.

Wheat, their staple food, relied on imports, but there was no issues with this as they aren’t hostile with any country.

Perhaps that’s why the capital is bustling with foreign merchants and their escorting adventurers.

「The city is very lively.」

「Goban is an expert at making money.」

「Golan-aniki, you have to call him His Majesty. There would be trouble if people heard you.」

The name Goban came from Golan-san’s mouth, but now that I really think about it, is that really call the King who Doganbo-san called “His Majesty” that? That’s bad, Golan-san.

「He’s my good brother.」

「Eh!? Brother? T-then Golan-san is royalty?」

「Tch, that was a long time ago. I’m just Golan now. The supervisor of the alcohol production in the Sanctuary.」

「U-umm, is that okay?」

「Just leave it at that. Both of them have the title of God Craft, Golan-aniki who has nothing but crafting in his mind, and His Majesty Goban who preferred to manage the country. As a Dwarf, Golan-aniki’s way of life is correct, but as royalty, His Majesty Goban is right.」

Recently, I’ve gotten close to Kings and royalty, so I wouldn’t shrink away even if Golan-san was royalty, but……

Back then, Golan-san who had absolutely no interest in succeeding the throne had abandoned his right to succeed and built his own workshop, which was the start of the workshop from yesterday.

From when they were kids, the previous King had drilled blacksmithing into the siblings. The two brothers likely had great talent. They were able to attain the title of God Craft after practicing for a century. However, Golan-san was not satisfied with the title of God Craft. There were two patterns for attaining this title. First, a written status for having been recognized by many people. This was how the two siblings obtained theirs. The other was a status conferred when Goddess Norn has acknowledged the person. This pattern was similar to my status as a Dragon Slayer.

「Despite not having been recognized by Goddess Norn, to be conferred with a title with “God” is scummy.」

「It’s not like that. The current Golan-san is definitely a God Craft.」

After devoting himself everyday for a long time, Golan-san lived up to his title.

「Well, that doesn’t matter. Rather, we’ve arrived at my recommended company.」

The building Golan-san showed us to was a large building the size of Golan-san’s workshop.
