The Knight Wants To Be in a Relationship

22. I’ll give you a discount.

“Please be careful next time.”

“…… Sorry.”

“Because it’s Sword Saint-sama, I’m looking at it with this. Really- how surprised I was to find out that a real dragon had invaded…….”

After bowing his head and apologizing to the grumbling soldier, the soldier went back towards the golem he rode on while slightly annoyed.

I kept my head down until the soldiers left, then slowly raised my head after they all left.

‘I almost got f*cked… ….’

It was good to get a new weapon, get a new realization, and use a special move. If there is a problem, it is that this is the royal capital.

As a large dragon flew into the capital, which is usually protected by all sorts of magic, sorcery, and barriers, the soldiers stationed in the capital quickly rushed to it.

It was only then that I realized that I had made a huge mistake when I saw the madly running siege golems and the flying wyvern riders.

Fortunately, there were no other victims, and considering the fact that it was a first offense and there was no malice, it ended with a fine. With a warning that next time it won’t end in fines.

“Hmmm- Evan-kun. Are you done?”

“…… Mr. Ymir.”

“That sounds great. But if you were going to use something like that, shouldn’t you have told me in advance…….”

“I didn’t know either. In my hometown, no one said anything when I drew and played with clouds…….”

“Huh? What?”

After glancing at Yumir, who was hiding inside the building and waiting for the investigation to end, when he went inside, Yumir immediately changed the subject, as if he had realized that he was being hated.

“Come on, don’t do that, try on the armor. Because Yumina made something amazing.”

“…… Is that enough?”

“Don’t fall for it when you see it.”

Hearing Yumir’s words, she slightly turned her head, and Yumina quickly brought her armor stand. There lay an armor made of dragon skin.

Befitting an armor made by generously pouring rare metals that are not easily obtainable as well as dragon corpses, the black shiny armor robbed my eyes with a brilliant color.

“I named it Dragon Suit.”

“Wow… ….”

“Do you like the design?”

“Yes, yes!”

“Come over here and try it on.”

Let’s put on her armor with Yumina’s help-The armor that looked a little big shrunk to the perfect size for my body.

I thought it would be difficult to engrave magic because they said that the dragon’s hide had exorcism…… As I looked at Yumina, wondering how this was possible, she smiled and gave her description of her armor.

“I bypassed the exorcism by carving a magic circle on the inside of the leather. Thanks to that, the inside is weak against magic, so be careful.”

“Is there a chance that you will get magic on the inside of your armor?”

“Not usually, but…… Is it something you don’t know about?”

Taking off her armor and cautioning her not to shoot and experiment with her magic, Yumina smiled and brought a warhammer so large that it wouldn’t even be used for a siege.

She held a war hammer bigger than her body, and Yumina lifted it with a smile.

“Mr. Yumina?”

“Don’t avoid it?”

Then he swung hard at my side.

Pajijik-! I was pushed back a step by the impact of the warhammer hitting my side, and I was surprised once that even though I hit that warhammer with all my might, I only received this much of an impact.

I was surprised twice by the scales that began to rise from the side of Warhammer’s strike, undulating like a wave.

“This is… ….”

“The armor had a lot of scales on it, but it looks a bit like that, since it’s reptilian scales, right? So I made it this way.”

Her impact-reactive gloves ─ Yumina gave her thumbs up at her new technology she created. I also let out a slight snort while watching the scales sprouting out of the armor.

An armor that usually looks like normal armor, but when it gets hit, the scales rise from that part?

That’s cool. So f*cking cool My heart is beating so fast that I want to try it out.

‘Wow- How did you come up with this idea?’

For an idiot like me who only wants to cut something in his head or want a girlfriend, that’s an idea that couldn’t come up.

As she spread her thumb out with respect and envy, Yumina blushed slightly as if she was happy that her idea had been praised.

“Ahahahaha- I’m glad you like it so much.”

“Ms. Yumina is a genius.”

“Whoops-I say I’m a genius beautiful girl dwarf artisan, but you don’t need to praise her that much?”

“I didn’t say that.”

I looked at Yumina who praised herself with her absurd expression. She didn’t care and praised herself.

One self-esteem is a great person. As I thought so, I realized that this image I had been watching for a month was over.

“…… So is it over now?”

“Yes. Custom production of the sword and armor requested. All done. Oh, please sign the receipt here…….”

“Oh, yes.”

After I finished signing the document that said I was the recipient, I looked at the two people who had become close to each other for a month with tears in my eyes.

“I hope to see you again next time.”

“You don’t have to come often. Because I made something like that.”

“I want you to visit me often.”

“Yes! I’ll visit you often next time I get a good weapon!”

“Okay, come back next time.”

“Next time, go on a date with me… ….”

“Oh, that’s a bit.”

I casually refused Yumina’s dash and left the store with my back turned. That’s right, with this dragon set the two of them made, I changed even more.

In other words- it means that it is now easier to get a girlfriend, and if the title of a swordsman includes such nifty equipment, this time is definitely—.

“A guest?”

“Yes? Oh, Ms. Yumina. Did you forget anything?”

“Yes. The payment is still due.”

The moment we were about to part ways happily, Yumina handed me a piece of paper. It was the document I signed earlier.

The document stated the amount needed to make this equipment.

“Well, I didn’t pay the bill… ….”

While casually looking at the documents, I opened my eyes when I saw the amount written on the documents.

2,500,000 ElsoȨ.

“This, this…… ?”

“Since we also touched precious materials such as dragon corpses, we excluded the technical fee…… Because the ingredients that go into it are ingredients.”

While making the sword for a while, Ymir asked me this.

─I think I’m going to use a little too many ingredients because I’m trying this and that, is that okay?

─Yes!

At that time, I was stupid enough to not understand the meaning of the words. The fact that I had to pay for all the ingredients that went into it.

I took out my wallet with trembling hands. It was a wallet full of 100 elso bills, but it was only 1 or 20,000 elso. Hundreds of thousands of elso even if you combine the gold coins in the subspace.

2.5 Million elso was far from enough. No, in the first place—all the money I’ve earned so far is only hundreds of thousands of elso.

“Otherwise, by external credit… ….”

“Sorry. Customer. Our store does not receive an outer box… ….”

“…… G-how, can’t it?”

“Ummm…… If that’s the case-“

Yumina smiled and opened her mouth.

“If you would be my boyfriend, I might give you a discount?”

“Let’s go to the bank.”

In the end, I headed to the bank.

And 2.5 Million elso was loaned.

I became a debtor overnight.

South Eli.

This provincial city, right next to Evan’s hometown, was so full of adventurers that it was called the city of adventurers.

How could he feed that many adventurers? This city means that if you take only one step outside, it is a dangerous city where monsters roam.

Just as bugs and insects cannot be eradicated, monsters that spring up infinitely from somewhere cannot be eradicated. It was common sense in this world.

A boy trudged into the city of adventurers with weak steps. People thought he had been driven out of the countryside and moved to the city.

Actually, it wasn’t.

“Uh-! Evan!”

A month or so is quite a long time. Rebecca, seeing Evan’s return from the city, greeted him with a smile.

While there were a lot of requests piled up while he was gone, I was very happy with it, but there was also something I was worried about leaving the royal capital forever.

“You’re back! Did you do well in the royal capital?”

“…… Rebecca.”

“Yes, Evan. What happened…… ?”

But- Rebecca saw Evan’s condition and realized that his condition was not normal. He wasn’t anything unusual. The eyes are blurry and out of focus. Like someone who has lost something.

When Rebecca, wondering if something sad had happened in the capital, was trying to comfort him- Evan spoke first.

“A request, please give me a request.”

“A request as soon as you arrive…… Aren’t you tired?”

“It’s okay, so hurry up… ….”

“Yeah…… All right.”

Rebecca was worried when she saw Evan, who didn’t look normal, but he couldn’t stop him from doing it himself.

She took out the bad debt requests that had accumulated during the month Evan was gone. She had the kind of requests that Evan insisted on doing, the low cost and difficult missions.

Evan looked down at the requests for a moment, then bit his lip and returned the request.

“Yeah…… It’s a bit embarrassing to say this.”

“Yes? What’s your problem?”

“A request that ends quickly and pays a lot of money…….”

“Ah… ….”

Hearing that, Rebecca realized what Evan’s problem was. And she realized that the sword hilt was a different object from the one he had before he went to the capital.

‘Did you run out of money to buy a new weapon?’

hahahahaha, in the royal capital there were artisans and pleasures that were incomparable to those of provincial cities.

The royal road is a place where even the highest-ranking adventurers can squander all their wealth overnight if they so choose.

It wouldn’t be strange if Evan, who had just come up from the countryside and suddenly made a lot of money, spent a lot of money without knowing anything about it.

“—Yes! We will prepare it!”

Fortunately, the adventurer’s guild was always ready to give Evan all kinds of convenience.

Rebecca took out the requests that Evan had rejected in the past. Remaining quests, excluding quests that have expired or disappeared due to the request being canceled by the client.

These were substantial quests that could earn nearly 100,000 elso in one go.

“Here it is!”

However, Evan’s expression was not easily resolved even after seeing his requests. Like someone who says this isn’t enough.
