"I'm amazed ...... how many great kids there are in the world. It made me realize how small our world is. ......"

"It's true,...... I've never seen a kid so skilled with magic that she could transform a magic sword so quickly,......."

The two Dwarf have been amazed that I was able to put magic power through a magic sword.

I had no idea, but it seems that in in order to pass magic power through a magic sword, you have to be somewhat skilled in the use of magic power.

But if I was able to do it, then I thought that Sandra might be able to do it, too. 

I had a strong feeling that she could do it.

By the way, the color of the magic sword gradually returns to normal after I stopped transmitting magic power through it.

I asked with a dry smile as I put the sword back in its sheath.

"Hahaha...... by the way, is this the only one of the magic swords you have?"

The two Dwarves rolled their eyes and looked at each other a little, perhaps because this was another unexpected question, and then Ellen said.

'......The magic sword requires a special metal called 'magic steel,' but we can't get much of it, so we've only been able to make that one sword,......."

I see. That's too bad. ......"

If there had been one more swing, it would have been a good souvenir for Sandra.

 

I asked Ellen a question.

' uh, magical steel a rare metal that's hard to find?"

'No, it is produced in almost every country. However, it is not so easy to find in the market because it is not so useful. So, if you want magic steel, you have to go get it yourself or ask someone to get it for you. ......"

I see, so it's not "there's no stuff" but "it's not in the market"?

But then, I might be able to work something out.

And also, I definitely need a number of magic knives for the future.

I thought about it and then said,

I'd like to discuss ...... something with you, but I was wondering if you two might be interested in serving the neighboring Magnolia empire, and the House of Bardia?"

"What ......?"

Ellen and Alex were taken aback by my words.

Their faces gradually changed to doubtful expressions.

Then Ellen said,

"You know, even we don't like such jokes,". We might be taken into debt soon."

My words did not seem to be well received.

Ellen shrugged her shoulders as she continued.

"Besides, the Bardia family is famous in the Empire. A maid girl like you can't decide whether to work us there or not, can you?"

I had forgotten.

It is true that I am a child wearing a maid's uniform now.

Ellen said to me as if she was going to fold me in.

If you're the son of a Bardia family or something, I can understand that, but a nobleman's son is not going to be a girl in a maid's uniform. I'd love to serve them , but…"

How can the son of an aristocrat be a maid girl?

Hearing these words, all three of them except me who came with them erupted and laughed, " .

As expected, I gave the girls a slightly resentful look.

Then Deanna coughed and gave me a helping hand.

"Tia-sama is in this appearance due to circumstances, but she is related to the Bardia family. You can rest assured of that."

"What?"

Ellen and Alex rolled their eyes when they heard Deanna's words. Then, slowly looking at me, Alex said in dismay.

'...... really? Are you really related?"

"Yes,...... although it is extremely unfortunate that I look like this when we first meet............."

Ellen bowed and said,

"I'm sorry, ......, I said something very rude about you ".

"You don't need to worry about it."

As I approached Ellen, I made her look up and asked her a question about the magic sword.

'By the way, if I buy the magic sword, will you be able to pay off your debt?

"Oh, I don't know. Do you know Alex?"

"I'm sorry, Sis ......, but it's not enough."

I see, do you owe quite a bit of money, or is the interest great? 

I said to both of them.

"Okay. First of all, as a prerequisite, do you two intend to come to the Bardia territory? If you do come, we will take care of the debt over and above the amount of the magic sword. We will ask you to work to pay back the amount that is missing, though. What do you think?"

They looked at each other for a moment, then their faces became wary and stern.

Then it was Alex who spoke up first.

'...... what are you going to make us do?"

'Yes, I do. I want you to make a magic sword, but I also want you to develop a variety of other things. It can be daily necessities, weapons, tableware, anything. Of course, there are things we may ask you to do. But basically, you can do whatever you want."

The two of them rolled their eyes again in amazement when they heard my words.

Yes, I really want them to make that.

I said to them.

"For example, I want you to make a part that absorbs vibration from the carriage suspension ...... ground and suppresses the shaking of the carriage's interior. The carriage shakes too much. ......"

I said to them with a wry smile.

Then the two dwarves who heard what I said began to laugh, ".

Then Alex, looking amused, said,

'Hahaha, I don't think they ever asked us to make them daily necessities instead of weapons and armor."

'Hmph, true. But it sounds a lot more fun than being forced to work every day to make something to pay off our debt, Alex."

Apparently, both of them had lost their guard against me.

I said with a twinkle in my eye.

"Well, will you come over to the Bardia territory ?"

"Well, I don't mind. I don't think we can make a living here anyway."

"I'm good, too. I'd rather go to the Bardia house than have my sister taken away as a way to pay debts.'

I was happy to see that I would be able to do more things with them , and I gave a small gut-punch.

"Thank you , then I'll get right on it and pay off your debts ......."

At that moment, as if to interrupt my voice, I heard a lowly shout from outside the store.

At that moment, as if to interrupt my voice, I heard a lowly shout from outside the store.

" we are here to pick you up."

We looked outside the store to see what was going on, and there stood three men of the human race.

One was a small man with a Mohawk and a leather jacket.

Another was a fit, or rather quite fat, man who was sweating without reason.

There was one, a tall, lean, skin-headed man whose head reflected the sun's rays.

The trio, whom I am not likely to forget once I see them, were staring at us with vulgar eyes.
