Cold!

    My soaked cloths steal my body heat and, the cave also has a sharp chill to it.

    As expected of a waterfall’s cave.

    The cave is a single passage but it’s wider than I expected, and it has depth.

    There’re definitely traces of people living here, since there are magic crystal lights prepared along the way.

    Furthermore at this point my head is thoroughly cooled, a haze like a clouded sky smolders within my chest.

    「What is it, Alice-san? You’ve been down since a while ago.」

    「Makina……」

    This child is a child who quickly moves on isn’t she.

    「I’m sorry, Makina. Even though I should have said I wouldn’t do the act of making you explain your matters, to even resort to force……I’m strongly regretting it.」

    「Hahahaa! It’s fine it’s fine, since originally I also should’ve spoken more about the situation.」

    Truly optimistic and bright.

    But……last night, I heard Makina’s reminiscence that was close to a monologue.

    The act of surmising the heart isn’t simply doable but, this child is somehow straining too much.

    Clear away every danger with that one body.

    Sensing that somehow dangerous spirit, I wanted her to speak no matter what it took.

    Even if I had to take back what I said before.

    It’s this child that I just met’s issue but, I’m worried to an extent that I think it’s mysterious.

    「Deshi? Cold? Alright?」

    「I’m alright, Rin-chan.」

    「Kyaha.」

    I stroked Rin-chan’s head when she came over while worrying,

    For now there’s just a towel covering my head and I wiped my hair but, I also need do something about my clothes I suppose.

    And so as Kyuu isn’t riding on my head for once those legs are continuously running along.

    「Oh, it’s a dead end isn’t it.」

    「Un, and so we’ve arrived.」

    Coming up against the end of the road, I found a blatantly artificial door in the bare rock.

    Finally meeting the blacksmith are we.

    It’s still our objective so could we get Shion-san’s katana with this?

    Umu, I want to take a katana back with us and be praised.

    I want to bury my face in her breasts.

    「Hello～!」

    Makina raised her voice while knocking on the door.

    A female person’s voice came back from within.

    Go ahead, it was that sort of kind voice.

    「We’ll be troubling～ you!」

    Makina opened the door without holding back.

    Beyond the door is a workshop――or rather there wasn’t.

    It’s regular home’s living room.

    To say the irregularity, the walls are entirely made of natural rock.

    「It’s been a while since I’ve had guests, do you have a blacksmithing request?」

    A female person with a small child on her lap answered with a gentle smile.

    She’s a woman with her hair cleanly braided in three parts.

    Does this person do blacksmithing then?

    「That’s so but, in truth this time it’s taking a disciple or rather, it becomes a request that I’d like it if you would teach her the basic concept.」

    「Maa? Since that person is stubborn, that sounds like a major undertaking.」
