You mean... a smithy?

Yes. We'd like for you to build a mythril workshop.

I've heard that there was one in this village long ago.

So, he wants me to find it and revive it?

Master smiths of Campbell Town!

Keep your hands moving!

Thanks for all your hard work. You can leave the rest to us.

Oh, but... Um, I...

Are you people able to arrange for smiths on your own?

Well, Mister Bestfred said that...

Don't worry! I have them all ready!

You people can just go home and prepare our meals.

What?

It can't be...

A mere D-rank would never interfere with a B-ranker's plans, would he?

Chillin'

in My 30s after Getting Fired from the Demon King's Army

Well, they must be panicking a bit right now.

The Mythril Mine will bring huge profits.

Defense of the mine was the one thing that Campbell Town had a piece of.

Now that they've lost that, they're on edge.

So...

They lost their jobs as guards because of me.

I did a bad thing there.

Mister Dariel!

Please help me!

Wh-What's happened?

Huh?

An old man who's visiting the village touched my chest.

May he die ten thousand deaths.

He's actually dead?!

Oh. It's just tomatoes.

Ow, ow, ow...

Honestly, it was just your chest. What's all the fuss?

That sentiment crosses a line, old man.

What's wrong with you?

Bringing this incompetent adventurer back with you...

Incompetent?

I will not forgive you for belittling Mister Dariel!

Malika!

Seeing that dull sword of his tells me everything.

Sword?

It's rattling. That means you've over-sharpened it.

Someone who'd entrust their lives to something like that...

If that's not incompetent, then what is?

Even with that sword, Mister Dariel is incredibly strong!

Just the other day, he beat up a big group of soldiers!

And before that, he defeated a giant snake this big!

What? With that dull blade?

Hey, incompetent. Put out your hand.

My hand?

Huh? Oh...

When I do this...

I can tell the type and nature of your Aura.

This is...

What?

Smash! Sting! Hit! Guard!

Guard

Slash

Sting

Hit

You have maximum power in all of them!

On top of such good news,

to think I'd suddenly meet someone who possesses Aura like this!

Who are you?

Behold!

I am the mythril smith, Smith!

I heard that forging mythril is possible here,

so I came to have some fun.

Episode 5

Dariel Fights in a Duel.

I've never heard of a smith like him.

And Smith is such a common name, it's obviously fake!

Oh!

Excuse me! Have you heard of a mythril smith named Mister Smith?

Now, there's a name that's a tongue-twister.

What's this, boy? You doubt me?

I've come at the direct request of the Center Guild!

It's true.

Which is why...

we're going right now!

What?

Where's the smithy?

We can't.

What?

The smithy is being run by adventurers from Campbell Town right now.

It can't be...

They're higher ranked, so they won't listen to you?

It's not something like that, is it?

Um...

Pathetic!

I shall show you my negotiation skills!

They're the real thing.

L-Let go of me!

Please, don't say that!

This geezer just won't...

Sir, just once before I drop dead...

I want to touch some mythril!

S-Stop this!

Ugh. That alcohol I had earlier is...

A-All right! Use a corner of the smithy or something and get to work!

Thank you so very much!

That's just despicable!

Wow.

Now, this takes me back.

Oh!

A bumper crop!

Bumper crop? Of mythril?

Blast it!

Another failure.

Hmph, rank amateurs.

These little guys require a specific processing method.

Processing method?

Make it darker, please.

I'll show you how to treat these ladies right.

What?

Are you paying attention?

First, temperature of the fire is important.

If it's too high or too low, the mythril will turn to ash.

Now.

This is the color!

Wow!

What is that bright light?

Pressure points.

The pressure points vary from piece to piece.

If you don't determine where they are first, it'll end up like what we saw before.

That's why with mythril, what can be made from it is predetermined from the beginning.

Watch closely!

This is the superior technique of the great Smith!

Here.

It's so light!

Try sending your Aura through it.

Y-Yes, sir.

This is...

It's like silk floss soaking up water, isn't it?

With a mythril weapon, your Aura's ability to permeate it is completely different.

Next, a test cut!

I didn't feel any resistance!

This mythril sword is insane!

Old master!

I apologize for my earlier rudeness!

I see that you are a renowned master smith.

Please, will you teach us?

Don't wanna!

Earlier, you wouldn't stop throwing your weight around!

And it's shameless for an inept, rank amateur to even ask!

Just leave him and let's go!

I think he went a little too far, but...

Oh!

How dare a mere D-ranker...

What? Me?

Ah! I feel so much better!

This is the best!

I feel tired for some reason.

Now, then.

Time to give me back the sword.

What? You're not giving it to me?

Don't be stupid. You're not a good match at all.

Instead, listen to my dream.

I wanted...

one day, to use mythril to make something that

wasn't a sword, spear, axe, or like any other weapon.

I-I see.

And then I came to this village...

and I could envision what it was I wanted to make.

So, stick with me...

won't you?

All right.

For the moment, what you need is more mythril, right?

And a workspace...

In all the confusion, I pocketed a bit of mythril.

And I've readied a workshop.

What?

When did you do this?

I had my apprentice cart it here.

And that...

That's an ethanol furnace, isn't it?

You know what it is?

Well, I mean, it's a piece of magical equipment!

Well, they are sold on the black market sometimes.

But this won't work unless you pass magical power through it.

That's exactly right.

If this thing would only work!

I'd be just one step away from achieving my dream!

You're right. I did give you a communication device.

But I'm busy, so this timing is problematic.

I'm sorry, Rizet!

Here, I hope you'll all enjoy this.

Thank you so much!

Big Bro!

I brought the synthesis ingredients for...

You're the only one I can depend on!

A-All right.

I'm sorry, Big Bro...

I'm so useless.

Gashita, you're in the way, standing there.

So, this is your demon friend?

Y-Yes.

He told me what this is about over the communicator.

And since it's a request from Dariel...

But just once.

I can't assist in the mass production of weapons for humans.

I'd never mass produce.

It wouldn't count as repaying my gratitude then.

Gratitude?

I heard from the Center Guild.

They said that the person who returned the mine to us was a man named Dariel.

Once a smith has touched mythril, iron just isn't good enough anymore.

That sound. That feel! Not a day went by that I didn't remember!

But...

You gave me back my dream!

Dariel, you have a special Aura.

So a weapon that suits you will be something no one's seen before, something amazing!

But back then...

Don't be stupid. You're not a good match at all.

That was a prototype.

The weapon I am going to make now will be for one person alone...

The most powerful weapon of all, one that can make the most of all four traits!

My dream...

Dariel...

My dream is to make your weapon.

Chillin' in My 30s after Getting Fired from the Demon King's Army

Then, if you would, fiend.

It's "demon."

Is there anything I can help with?

Alcohol! Go bring me some alcohol.

What? Y-Yes, sir.

Is this really going to be all right?

Hey there, D-rank.

Can I have a minute?

U-Um, I...

Do you love it?

What?

This village.

What do you mean?

I thought perhaps you hadn't noticed...

that you're all being tricked.

The Mythril Mine.

You're the one who got it back.

Which means that the profits from the mine should be the sole property of Lux Village.

But someone is trying to gobble them up!

The Center Guild!

So... what are you saying, exactly?

Will you join forces?

Um...

I'm sorry,

but Lux Village alone is just too weak.

But with Campbell Town alongside you, you'll be able to fight!

We will expect appropriate compensation.

But I can promise you that we will treat you far better than they would!

I see.

Then, let's speak with the mayor right away!

I don't want to.

You've hurt the things I love too much.

If we're going to get gobbled up either way,

then I choose the side with a sense of honor.

Pick it up.

Tomorrow morning, I'll be waiting in the village square.

He challenged you to a duel!

What?!

I'm sorry.

I didn't know that humans had a custom like that.

He's probably after the Mythril Mine.

But Dariel just has to win, right?

A D-ranker going up against a B-ranker is like a cat going up against a lion.

And the most terrifying thing of all...

If a life is lost at the end of a duel...

It can't be charged as a crime.

That's why some people use duels to satisfy their desire for personal revenge.

What if he backs out?

It's the same as a loss.

Which would mean that the mine passes to—

None of that matters!

Big Bro is what's important here!

And we've managed all this time without the mine, haven't we?

You're right.

I'll broach the subject of halting the duel.

No.

I'll do it.

Please, let me do it.

Demon, hurry with the synthesis.

Yes, sir.

Boy, you come out front.

I'll teach you how to use a mythril weapon.

Mister Dariel!

Won't you take a little break?

It's herbal tea with honey.

Thank you!

It's very good.

Mister Dariel...

Yes?

Are you really going to fight in the duel?

Yes.

It made me happy.

Everyone was trying so hard to think of something for the sake of someone like me.

That's why I'll fight.

I've made up my mind.

Then, I've made up my mind, too!

Tomorrow's dinner will be stew!

Your favorite, Mister Dariel!

So... you have to make sure you stay safe.

I will.

Then, I'll go and get everything prepared for the stew!

Malika...

Well done, showing up instead of running.

Oh, yes.

We have succeeded at developing mythril weapons as well.

You had something made for you, too, didn't you?

Let's see it.

What? A knife?

I wondered what that arrogant geezer would make, but this?

Mayor, what are the rules for a duel?

It continues until one of you surrenders, or is unable to keep fighting.

If I decide that something is clearly too dangerous, then I will call for a halt.

If I lose, it means abandoning the Knockers, who trust me.

And it will close off the future of Lux Village.

He isn't someone I can beat if I lose focus.

Begin!

I can wait until you go and fetch a proper weapon if you–

What did you do?

If you couldn't see that,

then please say "I surrender."

The blade extends?!

I've got you!

Even while it's still extended?!

Even though they're both mythril?

Mister Dariel's weapon is stronger?

Of course it is!

My Hermes Sword is not a simple mythril weapon.

The shape can be changed by passing Aura through it.

And with the boy's Aura, there are no limits to the forms it can take!

No one will be able to stop him!

Without a weapon, you cannot continue.

I-I'm not done yet!

A mythril long sword?

I'll kill you.

You're the one who stole from me first!

You took my job!

Time and time again, you did things you had no right doing!

I couldn't help it.

I wanted to help my friends!

Silence!

He did it. Big Bro won!

My big bro won!

I managed it... somehow...

Yes.

You worked so hard out there!

Well done.

I'm so sorry!

I never imagined that things had come to this!

Oh, it's all right.

I will make sure that they and Campbell Town's guild are severely punished.

Will that be enough for a reconciliation between us?

U-Um...

Regarding their punishment...

would it be possible for us to determine what it should be?

Yes...

I'd like for them to help repair the houses that were damaged in the fight.

What?

Is that all?

Everyone did what they thought was best for their hometown and their friends.

Both sides caused problems for the other.

I understand.

Thank you.

Not at all.

To be honest, I don't want to lose your trust over what's happened here.

Mister Dariel, you were the one who convinced the Knockers,

and you've showed that you can settle skirmishes with the demons.

I'm lucky, that's all.

Was that truly all it was?

I feel like finding you was the reason I came here.

Mister Dariel, would you like to come and work at the Center Guild?

That's incredible! The Center Guild?

You don't get great offers like this very often, you know?

It's an offer anyone would be grateful for.

There's just so much I don't know!

If I go to the Center Guild, will I be able to learn more?

And my parents...

They must be out there somewhere, right?

Hey, Gashita.

This is a big room.

You don't have to sit right next to me, you...

know?

Huh?

Why...

is there a pounded rice cake here?

Good evening, Mister Dariel.

Would it be all right... if we talked a little?

Here?!
