The next day.
Opening his eyes from his sleep, Ron looked calmly at Hestia, who was holding him tightly like an octopus.
Since we have not yet purchased our own base, the funds on hand have other uses.
With Hestia's consent, he chose to stay in a guest room last night.
but...
"If I remember correctly, the distance between the sofa and the bed is more than ten meters."
"You were able to avoid all your debris and come here accurately. Were you sleepwalking with your eyes open, Hestia?"
"..."
"If you want to continue pretending to be asleep, at least pretend to be more convincing."
Looking at Hestia, who was full of flaws in front of him, Ron reached out and moved her hands away from his body.
Although it was as soft and comfortable as a pillow, he had not forgotten that he had an appointment today.
"As for the money, I've left it on the table for you. It's about 10,000 Valis."
"If you get tired of Hephaestus's Familia food, you can find a restaurant of your own."
Ron put on the cheap protective gear, picked up the sword on the table and walked out the door.
Bang!
"Ah~? He really just left like that!"
Hearing the sound of the door closing next to her, Hestia on the sofa suddenly opened her eyes and muttered softly.
"I clearly saw that the child from Hephaestus's Familia was very close to him."
They are all good children who will give gifts to their own gods.
Why is the result different when it's her turn?
Looking at the brand new pajamas on herself, Hestia turned over in confusion.
"Sleep a little longer..."
...
Leaving the base camp of Hephaestus's family, Ron walked on the northeast street.
Perhaps because the headquarters of the Hephaestus clan is located here, there are basically few hotels on this street.
In their place, there are specialty stores that sell a large number of various props.
Passing by a large number of people in work clothes, Ron walked along the road to the end and arrived at the industrial area of Orario.
After taking a look at the large box-shaped buildings not far away, Ron turned and walked into an alley nearby.
After passing through several narrow alleys again, a blacksmith shop appeared in front of him.

As if sensing Ron's arrival, the door of the blacksmith shop was pushed open from the inside.
Tsubaki, wearing red baggy pants as usual, walked out.
Looking at Ron walking towards her, she raised her hand and greeted him.
"It was just a few words spoken orally. I'm glad you found it."
"As long as I have a general direction, it is not too difficult for me to locate it."
Ron asked as he groped his way here following the sound carried by the wind.
"How are the preparations going?"
"I prepared it last night. Come in with me."
...
When he entered the blacksmith shop, the first thing that came into Ron's mouth and nose was a strong smell of iron.
Hammer, sledgehammer, pliers...
Various tools are neatly placed in front, giving people a sense of order.
In the north corner, there is a large stove.
"It's neater than I thought."
"Hey! What kind of image do you have of me?"
Just as she took out an ignition agent made of fire stone and threw it into the furnace to heat it, Tsubaki turned her head and complained when she heard Ron's sigh.
"For a qualified blacksmith, the blacksmith shop is his second home."
"After crafting equipment, it's normal to tidy up the furniture and clean the house."
"That's true."
After taking a look at the internal layout of the blacksmith shop, Ron began to focus his attention on Tsubaki's movements.
"Let's get started."
"Really? I really don't understand what you're thinking."
Seeing Ron's serious expression, Tsubaki, who still didn't understand why the other party was watching her forging iron, spoke.
"Although I don't know what your purpose is, since you chose to watch, I will explain it briefly."
"In order to save time and ensure the quality of the weapon, the material I chose this time is hard steel."
"This material is a mineral that can only be mined in the dungeon. It is a high-grade material for weapons and has a very high hardness."
"If you want to use it to make equipment, in addition to the necessary heating, you also need to master specific hammering techniques."
...
Perhaps in order to ensure that Ron would not suffer any loss in this transaction, or perhaps in order to make Ron pay more attention to her when teaching her the force-generating techniques later, Tsubaki's explanation was extremely detailed.
As the leader of Hephaestus's family, her strength and knowledge in blacksmithing are naturally needless to say.
Listening to her detailed explanation and following her real-time progress of blacksmithing, even people who have never been exposed to forging will gain a lot.
but...
The only pity is that the person who enjoyed this treatment was Ron, who could understand the principle after just two glances.
"That's it."
Standing up from the workbench, Tsubaki, who had spent the entire morning crafting a high-quality weapon and a magic sword, began to stretch her body.
"How do you feel? Did you gain anything?"
"Not bad, I've learned it."
"It's good once you learn it... huh?"
Tsubaki responded subconsciously, but her body suddenly stopped.
"Have you learned it?"
"What's wrong?"
Seeing Tsubaki like this, Ron teased.
"You are such a detailed teacher, is there any problem for me to learn it?"
"Don't give me that."
Tsubaki, who didn't buy it at all, waved her hands.
"If I had this teaching ability, the Hephaestus Familia would have surpassed the Loki Familia and the Freya Familia and become the largest Familia in Orario!"
"But I really didn't lie to you~"
He took out a fire starter from a bag not far away and threw it into the furnace. Ron picked up a piece of remaining steel in his left hand and an iron hammer in his right hand.
"If you don't believe me, I'll just replicate your work."
"You can try it. Any tools and materials in this blacksmith shop can be used."
Tsubaki raised an eyebrow and stood behind Ron with her arms folded across her chest.
"Today I want to see how you replicate it."
Bang!
As soon as Tsubaki finished speaking, Ron, who had already finished heating, smashed down the first hammer.
"Then you just watch."
Ron glanced at Tsubaki, who she seemed to have noticed something and whose body suddenly paused, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"What I'm going to do next is what you want."
