ALSAR

chp 184

"Uuugh...! Master! It hurts so much!"

Tom-san stood up. He looked up at Clemens-san, who was much taller than him, with a pout on his face. Tom-san was rubbing the spot that got hit by Clemens-san as he grumbled.

"This is because you're doing things on your own without asking me first!"

Clemens-san yelled back at Tom-san.

Just like what I've heard from Sig-san, Fer-san and Chris-san, Clemens-san is very opinionated, huh?

Well, I can see why he's feeling reluctant to sell his weapon to me though. No matter how you look at it, it's clear to see that I'm not used to handling any kind of weapon. A skilled weapon craftsman like Clemens-san takes pride in his own creations. It would be a waste if his creations couldn't be utilized to their full potential.

"This is why the weapons aren't selling!"

"Shut up! This is my way of doing things! Besides, even though you say they're not selling, we still got our regular customers anyway!"

"Ugh.... That's true... But! The weapons Master created are really good so I really wish more people can come to appreciate Master's skill!"

Tom-san complained. He reminded me of a whining puppy.

However, Clemens-san brushed it off with a snort.

Earlier, I was really surprised when Clemens-san suddenly hit Tom-san but despite everything going on, it seemed they actually got along well together.

It seemed the reason why Tom-san tried to sell me a weapon was because he wanted to spread his Master's creation even more. He seemed really proud of Clemens-san.

"Although Tom-san complains a lot, but deep down in his heart, he really admires Clemens-san, huh?"

I said with an awkward smile to the three of my fiancés while observing Tom-san and Clemens-san. The two of them were still arguing.

Tom-san referred to Clemens-san as 'Master' so I doubt they were related by blood, but they looked like a real father and son judging from the way they interacted.

"Yeah, that's right. Tom wants Clemens-san's weapon to spread worldwide but as you can see, Clemens-san has his own quirk. That's why they often argue like this."

"But still~ Seeing how he hasn't fired his disciple right away, I guess this is just their own peculiar way of communicating~"

Oh? So they're always arguing like this?

"Well, Clemens-san's weapon is really amazing, after all."

Fer-san said while glancing at his own sword on the stand.

Maybe Fer-san's sword was also made by Clemens-san? I don't really know how to judge the quality of a weapon but the weapons displayed in the shop look so shiny. Some of them are adorned with beautiful stones while some look simple without any gaudy decorations but nonetheless, everything looks so sparkling and shiny.

"Now, now~ How about if you guys stop fighting now?~ Clemens-san, can you please sharpen our weapons?~"

Chris-san intervened, looking slightly exasperated as he tried to put an end to the ongoing dispute between Clemens-san and Tom-san.

"Ah, right..."

Clemen-san suddenly stopped fighting as if on cue.

"I have other things to do at this moment so come back in three days. I'll get them ready by then."

He then rubbed his beard and looked upward, seemingly trying to recall his current workload before he told us to return in 3 days.

I'm not sure how long it takes to sharpen one sword but because Clemens-san said so, I guess we'll come back here again in three days.
