Tsubaki: Pfft—!!!! ...
167. He was surrounded by young girls, and you still remember him!
He's dead!?
When Chun heard the news, her head was buzzing.
That's impossible!
He even asked me to send him the scales of a man-eating plant recently!
How could he die?!
But looking at these people, they don't seem like the type to joke around.
Even if it's a hoax, it's impossible to fool even a level 6 person, right?
"No, what... what's going on?"
Chun's voice trembled, afraid that she might have misunderstood something.
Fortunately, she asked, otherwise this matter would have remained unresolved.
Finn and Loki, in place of Ais, gave a brief overview of what had happened.
Chun had been so engrossed in blacksmithing that she had no idea what was going on in the outside world.
Hearing them say that, I became even more suspicious.
If you're talking about being dead, then you're definitely dead, otherwise how could you have lost all your things?
Moreover, it would be almost impossible to fool Ais right under her nose.
Furthermore, what good is there in dying?
Is that person really willing to give up those beautiful girls?
and many more!
Not necessarily.
Chun suddenly woke up and discovered the key point.
The guy who came to order this might not be the same person who died at the monster festival that day!
They are very likely an organization!
Those girls, those old gentlemen, and that "fire-breathing man"—they're all in cahoots!
The fire-breathing man may be dead, but the old gentleman is still alive and well, so he was able to come and deliver materials to him.
These two people use the same weapons and wear the same clothes; are they father and son?
Chun stopped thinking about it, but at least she was certain that she wouldn't have to worry about materials in the future.
With that in mind, there's nothing to worry about.
"I see."
Chun nodded, her hand brushing against the trench coat.
"I'll tell you then."
"I made this trench coat and this axe."
! !
The three of them were all shocked when they heard this; they hadn't expected that they had actually found a clue!
Ais disregarded all etiquette, stood up abruptly, leaned forward, and said anxiously, "Please tell me about him!"
However, this time, Chun shook her head.
"I don't know his background either."
"I only did some simple alterations on this garment, but he bought this axe directly from the store."
"I know nothing about this person's background or anything else."
"You don't even know his name?" Finn frowned slightly.
“I don’t even know your name.” Tsubaki nodded without any hesitation.
"how come……"
Ais sat back down in her seat, looking dejected.
She managed to catch a glimpse of his back, but it was just a shadow.
"He has passed away, so let's not disturb him any longer."
Chun picked up the garment, looked at the marks on it, and squinted her eyes.
She could easily recognize these marks as Ais's sword marks.
She already knew the reason and process of the battle, and no longer cared about it.
"The material used in this garment has extremely high defensive capabilities; it can almost be considered an indestructible piece of armor."
"Since it was left to you by him, I have no objection to how you decide to do with it."
Loki and Finn's expressions hardened upon hearing this.
Wearable, indestructible armor is far more valuable than plate armor or large shields.
If it can be used in this expedition, it will surely be of great use.
But Ais gently shook her head, indicating her refusal.
"Oh?" Chun's liking for her immediately increased significantly. "Why?"
"I already owe him too much."
As Ais looked at the two items, the man's heartfelt farewell echoed in her ears once more.
He risked his life to save his loved ones and to redeem the world.
How could I possibly have the audacity to alter his belongings without permission?
It was precisely because of this attitude that Chun changed her original idea.
This girl is different from Finn and Loki.
She experienced the separation firsthand and truly cherished that person.
Although it is unknown what the old gentleman's relationship with that person is.
But as partners, they would be happy to hear that their lost friend's efforts were not in vain.
The princess before me has become even more powerful.
Moreover, in her distant and lonely heart, the image of one person had now been permanently etched.
"Hehe, if that's the case... then alright."
Chun smiled easily, got up and walked deeper into the craftsman's shop.
She opened the finished storage room and beckoned Ais to come over.
"He chose his weapon here."
While deliberately making some noise, Chun leaned close to Ais's ear.
"He has companions."
These four words made Ais's eyes widen immediately!
The hurt in her eyes was immediately washed away by surprise, and her bright golden eyes lit up like a beacon!
What's there to be happy about?
Chun smiled as she looked at the silly girl who had suddenly brightened up. Maybe those beautiful girls were all related to him!
Then you can all gather together and cry your eyes out!
He has companions.
Ais felt that this time, she had truly grasped hope.
They must know something about him.
They must understand him better than he does.
If we find them, we can get closer to his silhouette and understand what kind of person he really is.
Does this make any sense?
No.
But for Ais, she couldn't stand that person being a complete stranger.
Even though he's gone, she wants to know more about everything he did for her and for the world!
Because she can't forget him.
"Loki, Finn, I've made up my mind."
Stepping out of the storage room, Ais solemnly picked up the trench coat and the battle axe.
She finally sensed the aura above, then turned and handed it to the smiling Chun.
"Please, Miss Tsubaki, keep them safe."
“Besides that person, you are the most qualified person to possess them.”
Loki and Finn would be lying if they said they weren't heartbroken, but they really had no right or qualification to stop it.
He could only nod with a wry smile.
It's better not to know the value of these things; knowing it now is even more heartbreaking!
"It seems you really have changed, Miss Sword Maiden."
Chun took the two pieces of equipment, looked at Ais who had been reborn and grown, and smiled.
It's not just about strength.
She's even learned to protect the things belonging to her sweetheart and to side with outsiders!
