After tearing off the door from the unused side workshop and hanging it up for the moment, I lit the forge.
"Hmm..."
The sword said to have been dropped by Udaeus was a remarkable blade.
As befitted a sword made from the bones of the monster rex Udaeus, it was quite large.
Even Ottar, the current strongest in Orario and the [Brave], would probably be drooling if he saw Udaeus's sword. It was that fine a blade.
"...Should I break it and then reforge it?"
The sword had quite a few scratches on it, probably because Aiz had fought with it very roughly.
"Hmm..."
If I was told I could make it however I wanted, then...
Maybe I should break it first?
"Finn! What brings you here!?"
Finn, dragging Loki along, came to Bellf's workshop.
There was a broken door in front of the workshop.
"Haah... We should apologize."
"W-why!?"
"You really have to ask?"
"Ugh..."
Loki clearly knew she was in the wrong.
Finn knocked first.
"...No response."
But from inside the workshop, only the sound of iron being hammered echoed out.
"Is he angry? No. If he were, he would've come to Twilight Manor and complained already."
"Loki. Tell me how Bellf reacted."
"Eh..."
"..."
"He just came out and said he didn't... know?"
"...We're done for! We're done for! On the expedition, we'll be chewing on scraps of jerky and nothing else!!!"
Finn hoped the hammering coming from inside the workshop would end as quickly as possible.
"Oops, my hand slipped."
When I lightly swung the hammer at Udaeus's sword, it shattered into pieces.
"How hard did she hit this thing?"
I'd told Aiz how to break weapons easily, but...
Just how violently had she fought to turn even the bones of sturdy Udaeus into this state?
"...Let's heat it first."
Now that it was broken, forging it would be easier.
"..."
If I compressed all the broken sword pieces together... it would end up weighing quite a bit, so it'd be better to discuss whether to use part of it or all of it.
"Mast...er..."
By the way, it was noisy outside...
Did something happen?
"...No way Finn brought Loki here, right?"
...
Did they really come?
"I still need to ask Aiz something, so maybe I should go out?"
I put out the fire and opened the workshop door.
When I opened the wooden door, what I saw was,
"Don't joke with me... don't joke with me!!!"
"Finn! Calm yerself!!!"
Finn, screaming in despair, and Loki, desperately trying to calm him down.
"I'm never doing that kind of expedition again!!!"
After passing by the Pallum and the goddess,
I headed toward the potato croquette shop.
