Evade The Hero and Flee!

Chapter 134

Chapter 134

I was at the villages only blacksmith and heard someone hammering steel at a regular rhythm, and I had placed my ultimate weapon here.

Is it done?

Oh, Merln, is it you?

I opened the door, and the blacksmith who knew me by my voice was a middle-aged man. He was a middle-aged man and not an old man, which was an important factor.

Yours is in the right. Get it yourself.

Yes.

I watched the blacksmith hammer steel without looking at me, as he was busy with the overflowing work. It was actually rare for a village like this one to have such a blacksmith, as one who could hand steel was valued everywhere. Even if this country was not in war, lords did not easily give up on blacksmiths, as they may pose to weaponize people for a riot.

However, while this world had many bad lords, the one here was a rare exception, and he allowed retired technicians to return to their homelands. Thanks to that, the retired used their skills for their village, and this was a rare grace for this village, as our environment was harsh.

Lets see, is this it?

I watched the blacksmiths actions for a moment and took my secret weapon from a corner to look over it.

Wow.

Your tools are unique, which makes them interesting to handle.

I heard the blacksmiths indifferent voice, but I knew that he was surprised underneath. I had been extremely surprised to find out that this world did not have ho-mi, one of Koreas best farming tools. As the small tool enabled its user to dig, it had gained international fame, level the ground, removes weeds, and harvest potatoes. It was a multi-purpose tool, simple and suppliable while easy to use. It would enable us to work faster, and the best part was that my cute daughter will be able to use it easily and safely!

Your quality is perfect as promised.

Yes, hard and not sharp. I worked harder since you told me it was for a girl.

Thank you.

You do not need to thank me, as this is my job.

The blacksmith going back to his steel increased my trust in him, as he really was an artisan!

How much is it?

Ten silver coins.

The price impressed me again, as ten silver coins may be a slight burden to the ordinary people, it was affordable and cheap when the price was for steel tools.

While the steel was reused from old tools or miscellaneous items, most blacksmiths were considered artisans, and considering his effort, ten silvers were cheap for having him make some customized farming tools!

Use well.

The blacksmith had not looked back once after I came in, and he did not even confirm the coins before sending me away. Well, no one who wanted to live here for long would go against him, but still.

Here it is.

I placed the bag with the coins on the floor and shouldered the bag with the tools. While it was quite heavy, I trained for decades and could manage this weight.

Oh?

However, I felt something was wrong after a few steps after coming out of the blacksmith.

What is this? Did I count wrong?

The number of farming tools I had was the same since the two of us would farm again, so the weight would be the same

It seems heavier.

I placed the bag on the ground, confirmed the tools, and found that the number and size were the same. The bags weight was the same as usual, and that meant!

I wanted to say it was not true, but there was only one option remaining. While I had been lazy during winter, I had trained! I grabbed my arm muscles, and while they had been hard as steel before, they were a bit soft now.

What about my abdomen?!

While my stomach was still not sticking out, my six-pack had disappeared. How can I think this weight heavy even if I had been a bit lazy?

Hey, how about chicken?

No.

All right!

My belief broke in an instant!

Unnie!

Sorry, it cannot be helped.

Youre too fast giving up!

He wont bend when hes like that. Its easier to give up!

No, no

I could not give up chicken like this.

Unnie, we have to talk sense into Daddy since hes wrong!

Hes saying all the right things in essence.

Are you betraying me?!

It looked like my sister would not help, and had she been bought by Daddy? Was he taking revenge for me nagging him to marry again? He had told me that revenge using other methods than power could be more damaging at times. Was he doing it to me?

I cant lose like this!

If I gave in now, Daddy would be able to hold fried chicken hostage all the time! A loss meant all losses, and I would bend to my fathers attack.

If Daddy will do that!

Mommy?

I hugged Coco and found the willpower not to give in to Daddy, if only for Coco! The war between Daddy and me was on!

#9 Other Stories: A cats story

A strange silence filled the room, as breakfast was too quiet.

Oh, its all grass!

Except for the one weird person.

Isnt this too much? Cant you put it to make soup? Hey, what do you think, little sis?

Little sis?

Do you want to be hit?

Unnie! Im stating my dissatisfaction to Daddy through silence! Dont interrupt me!

Oh, you did?

The silver-haired girl turned her gaze away at my benefactors words to me.

Then, Ill play with this cat!

Meowww!

I dont know what youre doing but do it fast, or Ill die first!
