Aias: from a world of kaijus to a world of fantasy and magic

Chapter 41

After a few days of resting, my right shoulder was finally healed. I woke up early in the morning because today I would go to Mila to see if she was done engraving my throwing knives.

Going to the tavern next door because I was starving, so I got something to eat. After eating, I went straight to Kinwall's shop to pick up my new throwing knives.

Opening the door to his shop, I greeted him, and he went to the back of the store to get them.

They were exactly like my old ones. I thanked him and went to Mila's bookstore.

Knocking the door and telling her it was me, she let me in like always but looked slightly tired.

"So, how is the engraving going?"

I asked her about it, wondering how much progress she made.

"It was a lot of work, but I did all 4 of them."

Upstairs in her workshop, she led me to one of her workbenches that had my knives laid out.

"Go ahead and try them."

I picked one up, examined it, and threw it onto a wooden plank for me to throw at that Mila had set up beforehand.

Hitting dead center on the plank, it sparks with electricity and leaves some electrical burn marks like last time.

Pulling it off the board, I looked at it and gave it to Mila to look at.

From looking at it, I saw the magical circles were intact for the most part, just some slight wear to the magical circles.

I asked Mila how it was, wondering how many times they would last given that they have mithril in them.

"They are in decent condition; I think they can hold up another 2 more times before they stop working."

"I see, so 3 is the likely limit."

"I think so. Are you going to use them in a dungeon?"

"Yeah. Also, can you engrave these knives as well?"

I place the new throwing knives, including the new holsters they came with, onto the workbench with the engraved throwing knives next to it.

"I got new knives. Remember the person who makes my weapons? Apparently, he set up shop in Acton recently, and I asked him to make me some more. They also have Mythril in them."

Mila was shocked by my new throwing knife and asked who exactly my blacksmith friend really was.

I can't blame her because it sounds ridiculous that I would be able to afford them in the first place.

"Again, he prefers that I don't tell people his name, but he doesn't mind bringing people to his shop if you like."

"Yes, I would love to meet him."

"Tomorrow then, since I'm going diving today to test these knives out."

"Okay, see you tomorrow."

Leaving Mila's bookstore, I headed for the adventurer guild so I could enter into a quest.

On the way, I encounter Alex's party.

"Hi."

Greeting them, I turn to face Lucia and try apologizing to her, but she just humphs and turns away from me like I don't exist.

Seeing Lucia turn her head away from my attempted apology, Alex said with a wry smile.

"Don't worry too much."

Then he asks.

"So, you're going to the adventurer guild quite late, and how's your right shoulder?"

"It healed fine, and I had some things to do before going to the adventurer guild. How about you? You're going to the adventurer guild a bit late too."
