Expecting to Fall into Ruin, I Aim to Become a Blacksmith

People who go deeper and deeper in their accustomed footsteps or wander carelessly.

Plus, it's a small percentage, but it looks like Iris and I are new together.

"Shall we do it in the shallow woods?"

"Yeah, that plan. Because there are a lot of awesome demons in the back of the woods, and I don't know if I'll be safe with the demons I'm arranging. If it's shallow in the woods, it's easy to escape across the wall."

"Are the first people to go to the back of the woods on a fast foot an arranged demon aim?

"I was well equipped, and I think I probably am. Or do you think you know a good place to make money in this forest? Because demons seem to have some law at the point where they appear."

"Heh, you didn't know that."

"I'm not that familiar with it either. I didn't have that much information in the school books. Probably not the kind of knowledge that would spread to the public because it works by their rules of thumb."

Just knowing it is enough knowledge.

Honestly, this industry amateur is unreliable to me.

"By the way, how was the market for Mob?

"Um, honestly, this is a hassle. In the spring, the goblin will increase to a big fishery, so the goblin market is good and when you make money, but this time of year, there are no demons that stand out and have a good market."

"He also wants to rest the demons in the winter"

"Looks like it. That's why, at so much risk, I saw the money there. I've made this target a cobolt."

This time!? Do you have another time?!?

"When I say Cobolt..., I'm not familiar with it, but a bipedal demon is fine, right? And I have a weapon."

"That's pretty much it. I don't think it's that dangerous because it's about two meters tall on the dog surface and very few large herds."

"Yeah, I guess that's okay"

I'd rather respect Iris' thoughts than pinch opinions poorly.

She is a woman who is naturally usually smart and capable of crisis management. Even if I'm more knowledgeable, there are times when I'm more right to rely on her.

"Cobolts live more on the south side of the forest. But what we're after is a cobolt that lives in the southeast area. Kobolt here was kicked out of the herd by a rash, and he's poor. It gets cheaper when I sell demon stones for that matter, but for the first time, it's a reasonable place."

Maybe it's my fault, but I felt Iris highlighted the “first time" part.

Is that it? She's going to do it. I'm definitely coming back.

Well, I'm a little excited to follow Iris' guide, too, but Iris is still more excited than I am.

"I think Iris and I can do it. Besides, I don't have an alternative, and I'm gonna let you follow me."

"Yeah. Because I'm counting on you"

The east side of the forest is close to the wall, and everyone goes into the forest from there.

The southeast of the woods takes the form of getting into the back of the sushi, but it's not that risky.

In fact, there are places where the light of day doesn't plug in if we go in the back, but the area we arrived in had many thin lines of light plugged in.

"Vision doesn't seem to be a problem"

"Right. Cobolt's nose works, so it's hard to ambush. So it will be a battle from the basic front. However, it seems that cobolts in this area often escape, so be careful not to let them escape"

"Right. Shall I stop the deep pursuit if I can escape? It's going to be a bummer if there's an increase. Whoa..."

Walking alongside Iris, I caught him looking like Kobolt, today's target, ahead of that gaze.

Will there still be a hundred meters at a distance? Just enough to see through the gap in the tree.

But you already noticed that over there, in a state of war.

I have something swordlike in one hand, and I walk over here. Apparently motivated.

"Mr. over there is quick to notice. Looks like you're alone, and of course you're gonna do it."

"Yeah. About 180 tall, I guess. As you can tell, it's smaller than being south."

Me and Iris pulled out the sword.

While pulling it out, Iris is so grateful for the sword. I hope you won't hesitate to use it from now on, but I'm a little nervous as far as I can see.

Worst of all, I even have anxiety about sacrificing myself to go in and protect my sword.

"Iris, I'll stand avant-garde. Magically ask for cover."

"But Kurli's sword is short, isn't it? The avant-garde is better for me."

"You can take turns if you get used to it, but now I'll do it"

I stand in front and Iris, the rear guard, stares at Kobolt as he erases the signs from behind.

Cobolt finally came as close as ten meters and stood where he could slash and tie at any time.

Your face is still a dog, no, a fierce wolf. You look hungry because you are drooling of covetousness.

He has a thick savel in one hand and covers his body with bristles. Overall, it looks blue.

I wonder if there's any fear. After all, I feel good about being belligerent.

Cobolt came in with a runaway.

A shaken up sabel. The movement looked good.

I would have gotten a blow in the counter too, but I definitely got a sabel.

The level at which the shock runs on the arm but has no problem at all.

I don't play the sword. Even the power comparison seemed to win, but given today's long schedule, I don't know if I'm trying too hard. Besides, I have another companion now.

Soon Iris, who was circling behind Cobolt, gazed at me for a moment and activated the flaming magic out of his hands just to signal it.

A sharp, pointed spear-shaped flame flies.

Cobolt didn't notice at all, and a flaming spear pierced his back.

That flaming spear, which penetrates from the back to the belly and is likely to reach me in jeopardy, disappears now that it reaches me.

The cobolt falls and the body disappears misty. All that remains is a blue-gotten demon stone.

Phew, it's over.

I was about to be pierced, too...

While I was picking up the demon stone, Iris was also rushing over.

"Did I do well?

"Good job. I had no idea when I was going around back. And the magic was amazing."

It was so amazing that I could burn to death too.

"Really? Glad it helped."

"Iris, how's this demon stone? Is it going to be money?

Hand Iris the Demon Stone. I'm going to take that seriously.

The move doesn't look like an amateur move...... I've been an athlete for ten years.

"Yeah, I'm in the hit category."

"Good luck, man!

The professional demon stone connoisseur Iris also received his rating, and this is off to a good start.

No injuries, minimal fatigue.

"Let's go next, next"

Walking out, I immediately met the next Cobolt in just a few minutes.

Now it was a pair of two, still noticed first, and the opponent was already in a battle posture.

He has a good nose, and I'm sure this one noticed first and can't ambush him, but why does he seem pretty belligerent at the moment? Intelligence also told me that he may escape.

Will we look weak?

Although it is certainly fine compared to other humans who are coming hunting.

The pinnacle of foolishness, such as judging by appearance. Let me show you my painful eyes.

"The way we did it was the same as just now. I'll twist two of them together, so I need you to put them behind me. If I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it with my sword."

"Okay."

Iris was just like that, but it's awesome to concentrate on.

I was really turning around behind the cobolt before I realized it.

Even Cobolt should have an extraordinary sense of smell, but even though he liked me, he couldn't recognize its existence.

I'm sure you'll be fine with expecting her this time.

Two cobolts are speeding up and coming at me.

It seems Iris has already hidden himself, and I don't know where he is.

The two cobolts came together, but there was hesitation on one side, making a slight difference in the attack.

It's a small difference, but I can do it one way at a time.

They slashed my hair tips a little, but I didn't get two good enough to compliment myself.

Then Kobolt keeps attacking.

The collaboration is poor, but both are stronger than the earlier individuals. My physique is a little big, too, if you think about it.

The impossible counters are likely to be scratched as well, so we tried to maintain the status quo.

I will start the sword back, but I will not pursue it.

Now I'm just waiting for Iris.

As expected, a flaming spear flew right in.

The first cobolt to hesitate to attack is pierced through his head and burned to the bones.

Foggy as a sign of death, the demonic stone remained.

Now one-on-one.

Much easier.

Iris is about to release another blow, but Kobolt has discovered his presence.

There is a great possibility that it can be avoided.

I can fix it, but Iris is already about to fire his next spear, so I waited for it.

A spear flew in.

Cobolt still seemed to have noticed, flying into space and gorgeous.

But as soon as I'm defenseless in the universe, I'm gonna attack you.

Stuff the sword all the way to the distance that all you have to do is pierce it - so I noticed another flaming spear flying in.

Iris apparently threw away the first one as well, and the second one was his destiny.

It's just a mistake to work together, aiming for a cobolt with us both defenseless!

Besides, the flaming spear was released in a row, lacking some precision and flying parallel to what it might be or my gaze.

I rushed to shield my sword and received a spear of flame. My sword wins, my spear doesn't penetrate.

But the magic began, and the flames of fire covered my body.

The landed cobolt ran away while I was on fire. I think I realized I lost my chance to win.

That's good. I need to put out the fire that covers my body first.

I'm in flames, but I don't feel much pain. On the contrary, I'm afraid of that.

I roll around the ground with my gobbles, but the fire won't go out.

Iris magic, too powerful!!

When I noticed, Iris rushed over and hit me with water magic.

The water comes with a great shock.

Put it on! My body cools......, that? That's crazy.

The fire still doesn't go out.

Besides, a body cold to the ginguin with water quickly warms up pokapoka.

And I wonder what it is. From earlier on, my body feels powerful.

"A, Iris! Enough magic! Something's wrong."

Listening to my voice, Iris stopped the water magic.

The water that was on my body makes a noise and evaporates with Joo-Joo.

The water rapidly turns into water vapor, as if the area was wrapped in mist.

"What is this!?

Iris is surprised, and the words don't last.

I'm surprised, too. Oh, my God, my body, it's been burning since just now.

The flames are dancing all over me and I won't try to get away from my body.

The cheek spear I received from Iris burned and should have wrapped my body around it, but now I feel strange that the flame is mine. I might say it's part of my body.

There is no pain. If you look closely, there can be no scratches anywhere in the body, so there can be no natural pain.

"I don't know, my body's in great shape. Weird mood. I'm aware I'm originally optimistic in character, but now I'm kind of even starting to feel like I could get more, anything in the world. No, like I can see the world all. Anyway, I feel weird."

"I've also learned healing magic lately, but I need it?

"It doesn't seem necessary. I don't know what this is, it's true... Well, when will it disappear?

"I'm sorry. Because I strike magic in strange places."

"No, that's okay. Neither of us was working together. It's not one responsibility or the other."

In fact, yes.

Today is my first hunt and it would be rarer for a pair to use so much magic, so I don't think it's a mistake normally made.

By and large, it would be natural for collaboration to deepen with strength.

That's Iris the High Spec and Kurli's body, so I can't help but suddenly have a bug in such a cheesy way of fighting.

A flame that covers a body that never goes away.

I have red hair, so I don't know if my head is burning either.

"Maybe I got weird sick because I use fire magic in my blacksmith every day"

"Absolutely nothing to do with blacksmithing! Then there's all these weird people in the world!

"Maybe the red hair is affecting"

"Absolutely not! I knew when I did, the world would be full of weirdos!

More than me, Iris was kind of getting more and more attacked by impatience.

I've been familiar with it a lot, but I guess it's more poisonous to my eyes to watch. It's easier to give birth than to show off.

Well, I can't help but be anxious about Iris because each person is on fire, this.

I'm getting a bee. Did you burn into a tree?

"Potato...... or something. Looks like it's gonna burn"

"Swallow!? But I hope Kurli seems okay. What should I do? Once I go home? Well, can I go home?

Certainly not from a common sense point of view.

"No, but I haven't earned the lodging money yet."

"I'm not in that state anymore!?

"I will definitely make money for the Inn! Whatever!

"I appreciate it though! I appreciate it, but it's on fire! No, Kurli has amazed me a lot so far, but only this time I'm going to get a flat head!

Iris sitting around slightly turning her eyes.

I don't know what to do, it's not good.

I think if the flames go out, she'll calm down, too.

"If you stab me in the spear one more time, I might disappear"

"You're burning but you want to burn even more!?

No, I can't put any more strain on Iris.

Magic is important to the image, so I wonder if I can handle this in the image too.

There is so much blood rolling right now. Because of my mind, I also feel that the more I roll, the more momentum the flames are gaining.

I took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.

The flame subsides slightly. Again, that seems to be the right answer.

Sit back and calm your mind.

If I had kept my mind from turning to the thoughts and emotions that came out, my mind would have calmed down at some point.

And the flames covering his body were out, too.

"Ugh, digestion complete!

"Optimistic! Kurli, you're too optimistic! I was on fire just now!?

"Well, take it easy, Iris. Doesn't seem harmful. Look, this is how I feel, and I think my skin is getting kind of slippery."

"Does it have a beautiful skin effect!?

"Oh, you're also scratching a lot of sweat. Looks like something bad spilled out of you."

"Detox effect too!?

It seemed to have an enviable effect on the woman Iris, and her upset feelings were turning to interest.

"Well, what is Kurli? Can you do that? I don't think it has anything to do with blacksmithing or hair color."

"Sometimes Iris' magic has a weird effect."

"Then it should happen to demons, too. Plus, it's lighter than this at school, but I've hit Dr. Cat. But you just burned your hair, didn't you?

I've guessed.

Was that what Dr. Cat's beard was curling about one day?

"Then it's my problem."

"Do you have anything in mind?

……

There is nothing.

I have a blah blah.

It's a weird magic book I had at home.

Because of that, I learned magic on a different path than a normal wizard.

How suspicious the book was, but the contents were amazing.

It's easy to understand, and I'm keeping everything to myself.

Damn, that's definitely it. I only know that book that Grandpa Moran gave me.

"... there is"

"I do!?

"I do, but it's not definitive. It didn't say this there."

"You mean some kind of book? Heh, there's something strange about the world."

"It's the one I've been reading since I was a kid. There's more going on, but lately, the difficulty has increased and we're not making very good progress."

"Since I was a kid. You're calling something like that, so Kurli's changing."

Hey, you're leaking the truth.

It's different, Moro said it.

"Oh, no! Yeah, well, I was kind of convinced that Kurli was top notch."

Because I already asked!

Because I heard you were different!

"Hmm?"

Since I pushed the flame into my body, I felt the sensation was somewhat sharp, but that wasn't a mistake.

"Five cobolts come from 300 meters in the southern direction. My physique is about two meters. Definitely tougher than just now."

"Wow, Kurli has become someone from a different world!? No, not originally!?

What do you mean, not originally!?

Oh, is that the separation between nobility and civilians? I hope so.

"My senses are kind of very sharp. It sounds good to Iris' heartbeat."

"What?"

Reddish your face and keep your chest down, Iris.

Shit, I feel like a jerk.

"No, because it's not. I'm sorry, I can't really hear you."

"It's okay. Because I'm shy. I'm crazy, too. I've never heard of a heartbeat before."

Did I take my first beat? What's the first heartbeat!?

"Iris, I think I noticed this one over there. They'll notice when they get into a distance of about 200 meters over there."

"Ugh, yeah......"

Slightly unbelievable Iris yet.

So is that, you're in trouble for suddenly being in Sage Mode.

If the prince gets into this state in front of me, I'm confident I'll leave him alone and go home. Yeah, I'm definitely going home.

"Can I do it?

"What do you mean?

"I don't know, the flames have calmed down, but my strength still builds up all over my body. I'm in the mood for something magical to dissipate."

"Fine then..."

Anxiously, Iris looks up at my face.

But when Cobolt really emerged from the south, Iris' emotions leaned from anxiety to surprise.

I concentrated my consciousness on one hand and gathered my magic.

Do the same flaming magic as Iris.

Since there are multiple opponents, the spear of flames is a pass. It's an operation to wipe out the sphere of fire.

With much more strength, you can have a sphere of flames at once.

"Hey, Kurli! Big, big, big, too big!! The forest will disappear!!!

A huge chunk of flame was appearing on my right hand side.
