Chapter 386: Workshop Tour 2
A beer barrel-bodied dwarf stomped their short legs down the stairs.
「Mーaーsーtーeーr!!」
gon!
「Gyaa!!」
「Cool it, Doisy!」
Golan-san sympathized with the the dwarven uncle who jumped over the counter and clung onto him. The dwarf known as Doisy fell to the floor and sounded like a frog being crushed.
No matter how I look at it, he’s at the top of the guild, but in front of Golan-san, he appeared small.
「Master~, You’ve come back~」
「I said to chill, didn’t i!? It doesn’t particularly mean I’ve actually come back!」
「Eh!? Why! I beg you, please come back Master!」
「Workshop Chief! Workshop Chief! There are guests!」
「O-, y-yeah.」
The receptionist grabbed the far too unbecoming Workshop Chief by the nape of his neck and forcefully stood him up.
Dwarven women are scary~
「Hm, now that you mention it, what business does a human and the elf have with the workshop? Hmmm?! Y-you, aren’t you Doganbo!?」
The Workshop Chief who was helped up by the receptionist had noticed we were there, then was he so happy to see Doganbo-san among us that he clung onto him and patted him on the back?
「Doisy-aniki,, it’s been a long time.」
「It’s been so many years since you left, isn’t it a bit cold of you to not show up even once? Are you coming back to the workshop too? With this, our workshop will be at peace!」
Gon!!
Guwaa!!
「You were told to calm down!!」
Golan-san’s fist came swinging from behind the Workshop Chief who was getting excited all on his own.
Having been guided by the receptionist to what seemed to be a conference room, we informed them that we were here to observe the workshop at Golan-san and Doganbo-san’s guidance.
「……so Master Golan isn’t here to come back?」
「I retired as the Workshop Chief when I turned it over to you. I wouldn’t come back to it now.」
「Then Doganbo, you, the promising youth, have also improved your skills, no? Could you come back and assist me? 」
Doisy-san talked to Golan-san and Doganbo-san who came with us to this trip.
「Someone like me had already left Gnomstoll Kingdom. This time, I just joined Takumi’s trip and came here to see how the workshop was doing.」
「Umu, both me and Golan-aniki had already found our final home. As sad as it may be, it isn’t Gnomstoll Kingdom.」
「……that ……Master Golan, Doganbo you will desert your motherland?」
When told that would desert their homeland, I could tell Golan-san and Doganbo-san were offended.
「Moving on, which workshop made those shameful purifying magic devices that’s been spreading all over the capital?」
「W-what do you mean shameful, Master? That’s a really bad thing to say even if you are my master.」
He seemed to have gotten angry for an second at being told it was shameful, but Golan-san’s’ cold stare saw through Doisy-san quickly.
「Doisy- aniki. That’s an imitation of the product of the product sold by Valkyra Kingdom’s Papeck Company. But even as a copy, its performance is too bad. It would have been fine if it had at least 70% efficiency of the genuine item, but if it’s 50%, then there’s no other way to say it than being poor.」
「Kuh! This is all because Master Golan left. If it was Master, then 「Stop!」 ……eh?」
Golan-san interrupted Doisy-san.
「You think I would make a copy of a magic device made by a foreign craftsman? Doisy, we’ve known each other for a long time, yet it seems you know nothing about me.」
「N-no, it’s not like that……」
When Golan-san spoke in a low, displeased voice, Doisy-san hurriedly tried to give an explanation, but the words wouldn’t come out.
「Well, today, that doesn’t matter. As I said a while ago, I just came here to see how the workshop is doing. And because Takumi and the others wanted to observe, I brought them along. Don’t mind it.」
「……Ahh, if Master says so. But there are things we can’t show.」
「Hmph, Dwarves are the most conceited craftsmen…… well that’s fine. Takumi and the others plan to observe the blacksmiths.」
Doisy-san felt unwilling, but he had approved of our observation. Well, if this is the workshop Golan-san was in, there must have technology considered to be state secrets. It’s no wonder there are places that we can’t observe.
「Then I’ll show you around.」
Golan was going to use this chance to check on the state of the workshop while also touring us around.
Urged forward, we followed behind Golan-san who took the lead.
Haa, I wanted a more peaceful observation. The gaze from Doisy-san, who was following behind us, was painful.
