Chapter 56: Momentary Thoughts Part 4 Part 2
「In the past, one terribly bad lie cost me my dear wife. But not only that, but even though I lost her she was unable to really die. Since then I was pretty much stuck in place, as if time stopped for me.」
She couldn’t really die, so does that mean she was turned into undead? That would explain the description and would fit in perfectly, but I couldn’t be sure.
「I was still a weakling when we first met, but that incident changed me. I swore an oath that I won’t let a tragedy like that to occur ever again.」
「…… So you’d advise me to refrain from challenging him?」
「No, not in the least. Go right ahead and try yourself, if you want. I wasn’t able to beat him, but maybe you will have more luck than I did…… I have decided that if someone would want to challenge that guy, I wouldn’t stop them and would help them out should they be deemed worthy.」
「………」
It seems that Weissash was left kind of broken after his fight with the Gravekeeper and would be reluctant to fight it again. But wasn’t that in direct contradiction to his statement that he would help me out in whatever way he could? But still, he wouldn’t try to drive me from challenging him to a fight…… Umu, I’ll just have to take it at face value, since I don’t have enough information in that regard. Besides, maybe Katsu and Pencilgton will do their own digging and find something useful in that regard?
「Oh, we’re here. I wonder, when was the last time I used this place? It’s been so long that I seem to have forgotten.」
「You said that, old man. Small wonder that even the furnace is clogged with dust. That’s what you get when you let a place like that rest without any actual work being done.
「Oh, Break.」
「Bre-nee-chan!」
We arrived at a place that was small and looked like a forge or a blacksmith’s shop. It was similar to the blacksmiths shops that I have seen at Sekandil and Thirdrema, but…… I don’t know. There was something going on with it that was difficult for me to put my finger on. Anyway, hammers, anvils, furnace and all of the blacksmith’s whatnot was present here.
From the reaction of the two bunnies that accompanied me, I could imagine that the blacksmith bunny, Break, was Weissashe’s daughter and Emul’s sister? I wonder…… does Weissash has even more children? I guess if there’s one thing that you shouldn’t underestimate about bunnies is their ability to reproduce.
(Is it just me, or does every single one of them ends their sentences differently?)
As I managed to keep that to myself, I looked at the bunny that was bigger than Emul but slightly smaller than Weissash.
「You must be that Sanraku-guy that Pops and Emul mentioned before…… “Sanraku” is kinda mouthful, so how about I call you Raku instead? You don’t mind, do you?」
Stop it! Don’t give me such a weird nickname all of a sudden! You could at least ask me for my consent first! Or maybe ask me to help you come up with something that is going to be acceptable! Umm, oh man, that Break bunny…… I can already feel that she is going to cause me quite a bit of headaches in the near future.
「Break, my dear…… Time to do your thing.」
「……!!! Pops, does that mean that I can finally use the golden hammer again!?」
「Yes, it’s for a fight with that Gravekeeper…… We told him that it was a bad idea, but his lad here wants to do it anyway……」
「Hee…… Wait a moment, let me get the furnace going……」
As Break started to get to work, Weissash turned towards me again.
「That’s right, in just a short while we are going to create a true Vorpal Weapon for you.」
