Although It's The Weakest An Unprofitable Occupation,『Blacksmith』, Has Become The Strongest. ~Realized He Can Make Anything He Wants, The Man Started His Leisurely Life~ Chapter 7

TLN: I kinda confused how to spell the n.o.ble's name, It's クライア in katakana, = Kuraia,
I was about to use Claire but it seems to be クレール = Kureeru.
So, for now I will just use Chrya as his name, feel free to give your best suggestion about this in the comment section.

Enjoy~

Chapter 7 – Lodging

It seems that there are n.o.ble who will stay at our inn.
Speaking of n.o.bles, usually they will stay at a high-cla.s.s inn, but it seemed this one is an acquainted from a long time ago.
… To be exact, it was he who gave the quest to my parents as adventurers.

Because of this connection, he was also acquainted with Oji-san, the owner of this inn.

I've met him too, but it's probably when i've more than five years old.
So I didn't remember it at all.

「Relius, have you cleaned room 201?」

Oji-san seemed nervous because of the arrival of a n.o.bleman this night.
The room we prepared is room 201.
It's the room where I recreate the bed before.

Well, this is not the only room that has been remade, but all rooms.
However, only room 201 has an S rank bed and the other rooms were B and A ranks.
The bed is the best for sleeping because it's an S rank bed, so we prepared room 201 for the n.o.bleman.

Therefore, I was little anxious.
…… All the furniture in this room was remade by me.

All of them were the highest grades of S rank, but i wonder if they will be accepted by the n.o.ble.

「All of the furniture that Relius created and prepared is very popular with customers, so it would be okay」

Obsan smiled while hitting my shoulder.
…… It may be a remark made by observing my anxiety.

「The usual customers are adventurers, but this time is a n.o.ble who comes ….」
「It's fine it's fine. An rank adventurer was also admit it right? He said. It's much better to sleep in here than a bed in a luxury inn where he stayed before! The comfort of the chair is the best! Only the food is normal!」

Oji-san who heard Obsan's word dropped his shoulder and shrugged after that.

「It can't be helped right?. Because the ingredients is different from a high-cla.s.s inn.」
「Well well…. At least your food is delicious for me」

Obsan said that with a grin.
Then Oji-san finally regained his vigor while scratching under his nose.

「Time to get ready everyone! he'll coming soon」

With the words of Oji-san as a signal, we went outside to meet him.
Our inn is reserved for today.

Not only the n.o.ble but also the escort knights are going to stay.
Therefore, Oji-san was so enthusiast from the morning.
We'll definitely make it a success.

I glanced at Mear who is next to me.

「Don't be so nervous, Mear-san」
「U-understood….」

…… It seems useless. Mear was entrusted to meet and greet the n.o.ble first because she is the most cheerful person in our inn.

A carriage runs through the darkened town.
It slowly came towards here. There is no doubt, that's a carriage with a family crest.
The crest is belongs to the Sh.e.l.ls family.

It seems that he is a Viscount, who is in charge of managing this region.
Now he wanted to checks around the region.
And, a young man about 20 years old who got off the carriage along with the knight.

……. He's much younger than what i've heard.
Or maybe, his son?

「…… Ohh!? That face, could it be Relius?」
「W-well, uh … Yes, I'm Relius」

He smiled like a boy and came up to me.

「I'm Chrya Sh.e.l.ls. It's been a while. We used to play together when we were little. But….. Do you remember?」
「Etto….. I'm sorry, I can't remember it」
「Haha, it's fine it's fine. You were about 3 years old at that time, right? Your eyes look just like your father's.」
「……Is that so」

He says something rather pleasant.
However, it's not possible to be glad yet.
When I glanced at Mear, she turned her hand toward the inn with a tight smile.

「W-well t-then!….. P-please h-here!」

…… She's nervous.
But, he doesn't seem to get angry.
Or rather, this person just talks to me happily.

「Well, it's been a long time. I miss the old days because there weren't many kids who were playing with me.」
「…… Was that so?」
「Ah, yeah that's right. Because I'm the son of a n.o.ble who ruled this area. Other childs are keeping their distance from me. I even to make sure whether my parents were involved in it」
「I see … but when a n.o.ble comes to here, we also feel nervous, so isn't it unavoidable?」
「Don't say that. Not all n.o.bles are narrow-minded. Well, in my case, the n.o.bles who were previously entrusted to rule this region were a terrible people. Maybe that is one of the reasons why people keep their distance from n.o.bles」
「….. I see, it may be unavoidable」
「That's why my playmates were just monsters and Relius. Your parents often invited me to hunt monsters at that time, i was really enjoyed it. ahh…. Sorry. I've often been called insensitive」
「No, don't worry. I don't mind it that much」

By exchanging words in these few minutes, i'm sure that he is not a bad person.
“Speaking of words”, he really is a talkative person, and I always end up listening to him.
We continued to the cafeteria, and food was prepared there.

It's like a light banquet involving knights.
I sat with Chrysan while still listening to his words.
Alcohol seems to have affected him already, his face turned slightly red when I noticed.

「Say Relius … Is it difficult to you to become an adventurer?」
「Yeah it seems….. It's because i'm a『Blacksmith』」
「That is…… I'm sorry. Come to think of it, the child of this inn is a 『Hero』, isn't she?」

As expected, he seems to know well because it's only one in his territory indeed.
It's said that Chrysan starting to taking over from his father.
I also heard that he will becomes the lord in one more year.

「Yes」
「There were a lot of 『Hero』 this year」
「The higher-ups seem to be getting excited quite a bit.」
「…… Well, that's right. I can't help to think that that's a sign of something outrageous」
「…… something outrageous?」
「Yeah. Why do you think G.o.d gives us an occupation or a Divine Treasures?」
「…… Is it because it's a necessary force for this world?」
「Hmm, that's somewhat true, and in what situation do you think that we need the power of 『Hero』! moreover five at once!」

…… Certainly.
In other words, there is such possibility.

「Well, I hope it's just my feeling. Fuaa~….. I'm getting sleepy.」

With one of his hand on his mouth, Chrysan stretched out his other hand.

「The room that you will be staying today is room 201. Should I guide you?」
「Nnー, Alright. I want to sleep soon」

Chrysan stretches and then stands up.
Two knights came to support him at once.
And I guided them to the room 201.

As soon as we entered the room and brought him to the bed, he immediately closed his eyes.
The knights who saw it, looked at him as surprised.

「C-Chrysama slept in an instant !?」
「…… Hmm? Is that really surprising?」

The knights shouted in surprise and then held his mouth.
They quietly left the room and I followed behind.

「…… Chrysama is usually quite restless. I've prepared his usual pillow because he couldn't sleep when the pillow changed」

…… That's right. It's a little surprising.
