Chapter 36 – A Club that Loves a Beautiful Blacksmith Girl - Strawberry Lilies

At the Blacksmith’s Guild, I was spoken to by a woman who was making accessories next to the forge――Luna-san.

Luna-san is a sleepy-looking woman with short blonde hair who looks like a big sister. She is cute to say the least.

Which one do I prefer, Suzu or… Huh? Why did I try to compare her to Suzu… ?

Oh, well. I have to have a conversation with Luna-san.

「Sorry, I took the liberty of looking…」

「No, I don’t mind that…」

「「……」」

「M- More importantly, this is amazing! !」

「U- un… I guess so…」

「「……」」

… It’s always like this for me… I can’t carry on a conversation… I guess I’m not good at sudden things… ? I need to think of more conversation topics…

Well, let’s just play it safe here…

「I- It’s a beautiful day today…」

「T- That’s right…」

「「………………..」」

A big disappointment.

「I- I hadn’t thought of alchemy while smithing, by the way」

「R- Really?」

「That’s right! I’d like to try it too. Can I try it… ?」

「I don’t mind」

「Yes! Thank you so much! Ah! (Watch out, watch out, it was so amazing I forgot the main topic…) By the way, may I ask your name?」

「Oh, that’s right. My name is Ayane. It’s nice to meet you」

「Ayane-chan! I’ll remember that!」

「I’ll keep Luna-san’s name in mind too!」

(I’ll remember… Or maybe it’s more like I can’t forget… Because all the ones I’ve seen will stay in my memory…)

(I did it, guys! ! I finally got the name of the beautiful blacksmith! ! Fufufu…! Now I’m the head of the club that loves the beautiful blacksmith…! Fufufufufu…!)

Ayane is troubled in secret, and Luna is freed from her worries.

(Let me explain!

What is the Club that Loves the Beautiful Blacksmith? It’s a group created by a man who literally loves Ayane! !

… The majority of the members are currently blacksmiths by profession, and the president is determined by principles, rules, and duels……

The reason I say “rule” is because there are exceptions. It is……

The rule is that the person who hears Ayane’s name directly from her will become the president! !

The reason why no one had gone to ask her yet was because everyone was still glaring at each other.

That’s why we’ve been working without knowing her name ever since we created the club!

The one who will put an end to all this is me! It’s Luna! I will become the president and love Ayane-tan closer! ! ! Fuhahahaha! ! !)

Luna, whose appearance does not match her mental behavior, is hammering metal with this thought in her mind. Luna is thinking about making an alloy after she has finished making the metal bracelet.

「… Well. I guess I’ll make a club out of it… !」

Ayane is motivated by herself and is working on turning the Geyzar Iron alloy into a club.

「Fumu…」

When I think of a club, what comes to mind is a demon’s golden club…. Why don’t we just make one… ?

TL. Translation was suppost to be, “demon’s golden rod” but I’ll just use club cause the first thing that came to my mind when I read “rod” was a fishing rod…

「Okay… !」

If that’s the case.

――Kaaaankaaaan! ! Kaaan! !

――Kaaaan! ! ! Kaaan! ! Kaaaaan! !

I make a hexagonal prism out of the bar-shaped alloy, hitting the places where I need to hit properly.

There, I materialize a fire of a fire mole, which I had forgotten existed until now, and put it out on the anvil.

After a few moments of striking, the fire clung to the anvil and was sucked in.

The grip should be cylindrical to make it easier to hold. Then, after cooling the metal club, I wrapped the leather left over from the belt modification around the handle and attached it using alchemy.

「Fu…」

「… Good work!」

「Uhya! ?」

「Uhh!」

「A- Are you okay… ? You’re still here?」

「It’s okay, it’s okay! I was bored, so I just kept watching you! (Mainly Ayane-tan, though)」

「Y- Yeah? … I thought I heard some kind of secondary voice, but it’s just my imagination… ? Ah, it’s done!」

Eh? Who gave it a name?

Of course it’s you, Luna-san…

Author’s Notes:

After that, Luna, who became the president, did something grand, but that’s another story.

And a little addendum

Luna has been scouring the forums to find out where Ayane might be, and has been showing up daily at the Blacksmith’s Guild in Sādin, the next city… In other words, a stalker.

――Why did you do this?

? ? ? 「I guess it’s because I thought I couldn’t win in PVP」

――Didn’t you make any effort to win?

? ? ? 「I want to become the president as soon as possible and love Ayane-tan closer! There’s a rule that the president can come close to her, you know」

――Thank you for your answer.

? ? ? 「No, no, no, it’s my pleasure. I can tell you anything about Ayane-tan! Oh! That’s right! Next time, I’ll tell you about Ayane-tan’s special――」
