Gather Divine Coins and Gacha!
Gather Divine Coins and Gacha! – Chapter 493

A clear sky without a single cloud spreads across the city of Riana.

Together with Zighart, we are walking down the road that leads to the craftsmen’s district.

Normally, when I go out in the city, either Teresa or Alec accompanies me as my bodyguard. If both of them are busy, a few knights come along… though the security might even be stricter than when Seriana or Liesel accompany me.

But today, Teresa is working with Seriana and the others, and Alec is investigating the accident that occurred in the dungeon yesterday, diving into the dungeon with August. Zighart was also invited, but he declined with a simple “I’m not interested.” Apparently, he likes investigating monsters and dungeons, but isn’t interested in accidents like the one from yesterday. It’s true that the cause is clear, and the solution should be considered by an organization, not an individual. It might not be his kind of thing.

By the way, I was also asked if I would participate in the investigation, but I declined with a “I’m not feeling it.”

Today, the dungeon was closed, and I had planned to go there, but it was canceled. I could have stayed home and relaxed, but I had already decided to go outside, so I decided to take care of some errands in the city today.

Yesterday, Zighart was supposed to head to the dungeon, but he had been at the mansion, and today, he came with me as my bodyguard. He also had some business nearby, so he decided to accompany me… It’s quite a luxurious bodyguard service.

Anyway…

“It’s hot, isn’t it?”

Sweat began to form on my forehead.

The heat from the paved asphalt and the reflection from the buildings… even in this world without the heat from air conditioning units, the heat is still overwhelming.

Well, this city has a lot of paved roads, so that might be contributing to it.

I left my parasol at home… the direct sunlight on my head feels intense.

Maybe I should make a hat next time?

I tugged at the collar of my dress and tried to fan myself, but it didn’t help much.

Right now, I’m wearing a black dress, the usual outfit when I go out, though I’ve removed the apron.

Since it’s black, it retains heat, making it even hotter…

“Hm… well, it’s summer, so that’s to be expected. But it’s not as bad as usual, you know? You should spend a little more time outside, don’t you think?”

Zighart teased me lightly in response to my complaining.

“…I’ll wait until it cools down.”

As we exchanged light banter, we finally arrived at the craftsmen’s district. The central square was crowded, but by the time we reached this area, there were no residents walking the streets.

Instead, the sounds of wood and metal being hammered and shaved echoed all around us.

“Do you know where it is?”

“Yeah. It’s a large building that stands out even from above. You’ll see it soon… Ah, there it is.”

As I answered Zighart’s question, I spotted the building we were aiming for. Most of the buildings in this area were plain, but this one stood out due to its size, even though it was still quite modest.

That’s the workshop we’re looking for.

There was a fence around the perimeter, but no sign of heavy security. We entered without being stopped and opened the large doors to step inside.

“Hmm? Oh, Deputy Seria…! Zighart-sama!?”

As soon as we entered the workshop, an old man who recognized me from the festival stall greeted me with a casual wave. But when he noticed Zighart walking right behind me, his voice raised in shock.

The workshop was noisy with the sounds of work, but his voice was just as loud. The workers inside overheard and started murmuring, peeking out from the back.

Their gaze was directed not at me, but at Zighart.

…Looks like they’re more interested in Zighart. He’s probably the most well-known figure in this city, or even the entire territory. Titles like “The Strongest” or the like must have a huge impact.

It felt like a small idol had entered.

Zighart, however, was used to it and handled the situation with ease.

The old men were staring at him with intense looks… it felt a bit suffocating.

But putting aside those old men, I decided to get to the point.

“I have an order. Is that alright?”

I addressed the older man who had stepped out from the back after hearing the commotion. He too was eyeing Zighart with admiration, but I hoped he could contain it.

“…Hm? Ah, of course! Do you need a shelf? Or perhaps a chair? We can make anything!”

His answer was filled with confidence. “Anything”… I suppose that’s reassuring!

The reason I came to the workshop today was to order a figurine of a monster. They had some at the festival stalls, but they were too large. Each one was about 30 centimeters tall… and getting several of those would be impractical.

So, I decided to order a miniature version, about 10 centimeters tall, and also a shelf to display them. It’s not like I’m showing them to anyone, but I’d like to display them nicely.

“Who should I assign as the craftsman?”

“Eh?”

…So it’s by choice. I hadn’t thought about that…

I had made my parasol at a magic tools workshop, and that one was recommended by Minea, so they took care of everything. This time, I had to choose myself.

Hmm… who should I pick?

“Then, I’ll go with that old man.”

Among the crowd of onlookers, I chose the same man who had greeted me earlier at the stall.

Well, if the quality is bad, he can go to the furnace… but generally, craftsmen who don’t have good skills get driven out while they’re young, so if he’s still working here as an older man, his skills are likely guaranteed. I don’t have any strong preferences, so I’ll go with someone I know.
