NOVEL NEXT Chapter 20: There Is Dungeon In This World ?!!
After re-new Chali's adventurer card, we head to the blacksmith shop recommended by Chali to buy her weapons and sold the loots I got from the Orc King cave.
The blacksmith shop was 2 story building with a hammer and anvil plank at its entrance door, I could see [Andrew's Blacksmith] carved in the entrance door. In short, it's a typical medieval fantasy blacksmith store that you could find in storybooks or comics.
We entered the store and could feel the temperature rise significantly all of a sudden after we came inside.
[Old man Andrew! are you inside?~]
I could see that Chali is already familiar with the store after looking at her started calling the owner name with his nick-name in a loud voice as soon as we enter the store
[Master, it seems he is working inside, that Oldman always ignore everything when he starts working~]
pitter patter*
Before we could decide to enter further inside or not, suddenly, the sound of small tiny steps could be heard from the inside the store.
After a while, I met with the little figure who made that small step, as I saw a little girl wore a rugged tanktop and shorts suddenly appeared in front of us from further inside the store.
She has brown short twin-tail hair and a cute face and looks like 7 years old little girl.
After seeing Chali face, the little girl was surprised and shouted at Chali with an excited tone
[Little Chali!! long time no see!! I heard from my acquaintance that you fall into slavery 2 years ago, I'm really sad after hearing the news, but it seems you look fine now after seeing your blissful appearance~ I'm Glad that you are fine and healthy now after meet you~ sob.. sob]
[Miss Lagertha, long time no see~ a lot of things happen, mm.. but I'm fine now after meeting a great master~ oh yes, I will introduce you to him now, he is my master, a Silver Ranked Adventurer Alex]
Hearing little loli called Chaliope with "little Chali" as a nickname, somehow made this situation very surreal for me. I could guess that the little girl in front of me is from the dwarf race after looking at Chali respectful manner when talking to her but still.... anyway let's greet her
[Hello, I am Chali master and man, Silver Ranker Alex]
The little girl looked at me curiously with her adorable cute eyes before changed her expression into surprise after she seemingly remembering something
[Ah!! you are the one that slain the Orc King from the rumor!]
The little loli looked at my face intently for a while before suddenly looked at Chali with a worried expression. hmm? why did she suddenly have a worried expression? even I looked like this, I am strong and dependable enough to protect and made Chali happy you know!
[Excuse me could I borrow Little Chali for a second? little Chali came with me for a while!]
All of sudden, she took Chali hands and pulled her, ahead further inside the store
[Ahh..]
What the heck this loli hag! I am not giving my consent yet and she already pulled her inside! sigh... anyway, I could see them whispering about something and then hug intimately from time to time. Somehow, it's like mother and child, but I have the impression that the loli is the mother and Chali is the child, as expected, this scene was really surreal for me!
It will take me a while to accept this new common sense! anyway, it seems they reminiscent something about the olden days, and I could see they started giggling about something. After talking for a while, For some reason, I could see the little loli Lagertha glanced at me from time to time. it seems they are already finished chatting privately as I saw both of them back toward my location. After looking closer, I could see a hint of redness in Chali's eyes, I didn't know why, after seeing her weak appearance there is a little pang! suddenly appeared inside my heart
[Are you okay Chali?]
I asked her worriedly
[I am fine master, I just happy after seeing my friends once again after a long time huhuhu~, thank you very much~]
I stroked her back softly and calmed her a little. Seeing how intimate I am with Chali, the loli Lagertha looked at me in relief before started speaking to me like an elder
[The rumor aside, I think you are a really great master like Chali said, anyway I heard about your business in this store from Chali. you can follow me inside as I will bring you to my husband for the further business deal]
Husband? so she is really a married woman, maybe she was actually old enough that could make her called Chali with "little Chali" as a nickname but still... sigh...
Anyway, I followed Lagertha inside the store as I have this useless thought inside my head. after we go further inside the store, I could feel the temperature increasing more and started to sweat slightly, it looks like she brought us to the smithy.
The sound of metal being tempered echoed inside the smithy, moving my gaze, I found the source of the sound came from the Burly Old human male hitting smelted iron with his blacksmithing hammer continuously to remove some impurities from it. Don't tell me!!! T-this couldn't be....
[Oi!! Andrew!! there is some customer came for business!! stop your work for a while! not only that, Little Chali came to visit us too! It's been a long time since she is coming here after all!]
Little loli Lagertha hit the burly old man back with some stick, wait, is that firewood? -tte- the hell! is not that important right now!! there is a more important case in front of me!! FBI!! call the FBI!! hurry!! I found a pedophile here!! please catch that old man!! Lolicon alerted!! Lolicon alerted!!
[What is it dear? eh- Chali!! are you okay!! I heard something terrible happened to you two years ago!]
The old man stopped his work, and look at the little lo- caugh* his wife Lagertha, after a second, he seems to realize our presence behind her wife as he glanced at me and Chali before surprised after recognized Chali face!
[Old man Andrew, long time no see~ I am fine and healthy as I met my good master now~ huhuhu~]
[hohoho, that's good!, lad it seems you are capable enough to make Chali said something good about you!! hohoho!]
The Oldman Andrew look at me warmly with some hint of gratefulness mixed in it. um, even you look like a nice person now, I still couldn't help myself to think of you as a lolicon old man!
[A-ah.. nice to meet you, my name is Alex, I came to this shop to sold some secondhanded gears and buy a weapon for Chali]
Without further ado, I explained my business to this man
[umu umu, I could help you deal with the secondhanded gears you want to sell, but still, you have some good gears on you, there~, hohoho, I could see that it's dungeon rare drop item, it seems you are quite lucky]
Hmm? now I wore my night stalker armor and Bloodystorm talon rapier on me, did this thing considere- wait!! what did he say?!! Dungeon item drop?!! there is Dungeon in this world?!!!
[Chali is there Dungeon in this city!! W-why did you not tell me?! Let's go do some dungeon exploration tomorrow!!]
[M-master calm down! there is no dungeon in this town, if we want to visit the dungeon we must go to Dungeon city Alabatrost, or go to another Dungeon city somewhere outside the kingdom...]
Chali winked at me to give me a hint to not act suspiciously
[A-ah, sorry, I am just too excited for awhile hehehe]
The Oldman Andrew looked at me amusingly
[hohoho, it seems you just became Adventurer recently, to be excited about the dungeon is understandable!! if you dream to become a great adventurer, conquering the dungeon is one of the great goals after all!! hohoho]
[heheheh, it's man's romance to explore and get rich by conquering dungeon!! I couldn't more agree with you on that!!]
Looking at me became closer to Oldman Andrew, Chali started smiling warmly as she gazed at me.
C-Chali! Don't get me wrong!! I just approved him because he seems to understand what a man romance truly is!!
But you must know! I never approved of how he married little loli Dwarf to be his wife!! as expected!
FBI catch this Oldman lolicon!!!
