Chapter 118

The next day, Souta and Dina came to Antgar’s workshop at the promised time . They went there after lunch, so it was a bit past noon, but when they arrived at the workshop, they met Antgar who just about to enter the workshop .
「Ohhh, it’s you guys . You come at the right time, I’m just back from the castle . 」
「That’s great . So, did you get permission?」
「Ahh, somehow . It’s just, I was given a condition… I’ll talk about it inside . 」
Antgar answered Souta’s question with a nod, but his expression was grim . Seeing his expression, Souta and Dina looked at each other, but as Antgar went inside first, they also followed suit with a bit of delay .

When they went to the living room and took a seat, Antgar prepared tea just like yesterday .
「Fuhhh~ I feel a little bit calmer . 」
Antgar took a sip of the tea, stretched, and then leaned on the sofa .
「It looks like you’re tired . Is there any problem in the castle?」
Antgar tilted his head and then answered Souta’s question vaguely with a nod .
「A problem… I don’t think it’s big enough to be called that, but it’s more or less correct . Let’s go over it from the top . 」
After saying that, Antgar took another sip of his tea .

「First, I went to the mining receptionist counter in the royal castle . There, I applied for permission to enter the mine . I was asked how many people would enter the mine, and I answered three including me . 」
Souta nodded, urging him to continue .
「Usually, this is enough to get you the permit, all you need to do then is pay the entrance fee and you will get the permit . That should be it, but… I was called by the king…」
Souta and Dina looked at Antgar with narrowed eyes .

「N-No, even I was surprised . There is no way a small matter like getting a permit to mine needs an audience with the king…… . Well, it seems when I applied for the permit, the information was passed to the top . It looks like it was because of the blacksmith license I gave when I tried to apply for the permit . 」
Antgar hastily tried to make an excuse that it wasn’t his fault .
「So, what did the king told you?」
This time, it was Dina who asked the question to keep the talk continued .

「Ahhh, he was glad that I was motivated, it seemed he cared because I was a descendant of the hero . Then he also asked about my traveling companion . Are you sure about their strength? Are they trustworthy? Who and where you met them? I was asked such questions one after another . 」
Antgar’s expression grew weary as he recalled the audience .

「Did you say something there?」
Souta’s eyes remained cold as he asked Antgar that .

「N-No, I only said basic information . A human and an elf adventurer showed up and show their skill with weapons, I judged it was good, and after some talking, I decided to trust them and the reward would be the weapon I created, there shouldn’t be any problem with that, right?」
At first, Antgar panicked, but he gradually calmed down because he was confident in what he told them .
「Well, I guess there is no problem . You don’t lie, and you don’t talk too much about us . 」
「But, what is the problem then? I thought there was a problem in the audience, but, there doesn’t seem to be any problem . 」
Souta nodded to Antgar’s answer, while Dina asked a question .

「Ahh, I was asked to stop by the castle before going to the mine . They said they want to check my escort’s ability . 」
With a twitch, Souta’s eyebrows rose .
「I-It’s alright . I refused . But when entering the mountain, a knight will be dispatched from the castle to measure your power there . I tried to refuse that too, but they sad they wouldn’t give me the permit……」

「Then, I need to fight that person there?…… Hahh~」
Souta let out a sigh despite himself .

「I’m sorry, even though I’m a descendant of a hero, I couldn’t say anything back after they said that much . 」
「Ahhh, don’t worry . You’re not at fault . And if they’re really concerned about you, it’s natural for them to want to look at people that will escort you into the mine . It can’t be helped, should I deal with the knight appropriately…」
When Souta said that, seemingly unmotivated, Dina raised her hand .
「Can you possibly leave it to me? I will use Undine as weapon . It’s an excellent weapon and it’s compatible with my magic . 」
Dina pumped her fist, her motivation was rising .

「…Let’s do that then . I will hand over Undine to you, Dina . There should be no problem now we already leave Beastkin’s country . 」
Souta took out Undine and handed it to Dina . She received it with both hands .
「Undine…… best regard . 」
Dina gently smiled as she stroke Undine and said that .

「Did you ask how many knights will come? Will it be a grunt, decently skilled one, or general class knight that will come?」
「No, I haven’t heard anything, but considering it’s to measure the ability of those who want to challenge that mine, the one that will come should be a decently skilled knight…… I think there is a possibility of a general class knight to come too . 」
Antgar anxiously said that . He didn’t see Dina’s ability, moreover, her appearance that was a lovely young lady further fueled his anxiety .
「Antgar…… I will tell you now, Dina is strong . Her big brother was a pretty talented person, but he said that she was even more talented than him . 」
Not only Antgar, but Dina also surprised by Souta’s remark .

「Brother said that……」
Hearing unexpected words from her brother, she looked sad .
「Well, if you say that much then I will trust you……」
Still, Antgar’s expression was somewhat skeptical .
「You will understand tomorrow . I think you will regret the words you just said then . Also, the knight that will be dispatched by the king will too . 」
Seeing the look of confidence on Souta as he said that, Antgar caught his breath .
