My daughter is the Last Boss

eps. 7

“Now, how do you know about this place?”

"I heard a rumor that there was a master hiding in this street."

"Mastering? I don't know who said it, but they were right. What's your business here?”

“Eun-hye and I, as I said before, are aspiring hunters. So……."

“Ah, you both need weapons. Good. Login."

Kang Chul takes them to the armory located inside the workshop.

Instead of the flashy weapons in the exhibition hall outside, there were slightly more powerful weapons.

It was a weapon for a true hunter. The displays outside are more of a decoration for collectors.

Since such people only pay attention to appearance, they are practically messy, and the materials are designed just to look beautiful.

“Now, two weapons...... What things do you have in mind?

“A spear. I'd like to entrust the production to you, not the purchase. ”

“A spear. That's a good choice. What about the woman?”

“Um. Would it be okay if I looked around a little more? ”

Eun-hye frowned slightly and looked at her weapon. When he looked uncertain, Kang Chul turned his head casually.

"Let's do yours first."

"good. I think 2 meters in length would be appropriate. ”

"Just for the handle?"

"No. length including the knife. Oh, can the spear handle be made of iron instead of wood, please?”

“Iron spear.....It will be heavy and difficult to handle. Are you okay with that? ”

"All will be well."

Kang Chul smiled and wrote down his terms on a piece of paper. It seems like he was drawing a blueprint on the spot.

“Which material?”

"I don't know what material you have."

“We have everything, except the ones we don't have.”

“Then please use adamantium for spear blades and mithril for the handle.”

"What's? Ha ha! That's too bad! I don't have that!”

"I'm sorry to hear that. Then I'll leave it to you to select the material. ”

He added some requirements.

The shape of the cutting edge, the weight of the product, and the thickness of the handle are described.

Kang Chul stroked his beard and looked at him with interest.

"Hey, did you say your name is Lee Seo-Jun?"

"Yes. That's right."

"Are you really an aspiring hunter?"

"Yes." Yeah."

“However, your expertise in ordering weapons is a veteran.”

“That's because I've heard a lot about it.”

He casually brushed it off. Taking care of the substance he needed, he secretly gave the blacksmith a choice.

Not an unpleasant pressure, but it's good to trust his skills.

It seemed like Kang Chul knew his intentions, but it seemed like he liked it.

"Big. I received your order.”

"How long will it take?"

“Your prison will take a few days. Leave your contact information and I'll let you know if it's done.”

"Yes. Alright."

He could not hide the corners of his lips that rose to form an arch.

No matter how unclear Kang Chul was at the moment, his skills were definitely still at the level of an expert craftsman.

It was a simple task to make a weapon in a few hours. However, the fact that it will take several days is a statement of considerable effort.

"Have you decided?"

“Eum, I'm not sure. Can you recommend something for me? ”

“Good for beginners to try various weapons. In general, you should try the sword first. ”

"A sword….."

Kang Chul spoke as if it was a passing comment, but it was very useful advice.

Beginners should not make hasty decisions until they find the right weapon.

Everyone has their own fighting style or weapons that fit their hands. It was foolish to decide on the type of weapons they had in a hurry.

“Seo-jun. What say?"

"Me?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Eun-hye asks for her opinion.

That's a question not worth pondering.

"Mr. Kang Chul, by any chance, can you make a bow? ”

“I'm not just a metal tapper idiot. Of course I can."

"Okay, what about the bow?"

“A bow?”

There was no bow on display, so he never thought about it. Eun-hye and Kang Chul both seem confused by the unexpected choice.

The reason for his election was very simple.

'Because Eun-hye is a natural archer.'

Before returning, Eun-hye, who entered the Knights Templar, uses a sword in accordance with the guild's policies.

Eun-hye, while holding the sword, does not stand out. Of the 3 teams, he is the best 2 teams.

But one day while on a quest, Eun-hye loses her weapon.

"When I saw him later in an interview, he said it was broken."

Maybe the guild's blacksmithing skills were bad.

He had no choice but to take the bow lying on the ground without its owner. That alone gives Eun-hye wings.

Eun-hye, with a bow, shows her talent, and rises to the forefront in an instant.

"Eun-hye, you're focused, smart, and you're good at assessing situations."

"Thank you?"

"Since you have a lot of flexibility and strength, I wonder if the bow is good."

“Uhm. That seems reasonable.”

He slowly fell into his words.

Kang Chul also listened to his explanation and nodded.

“Or there is also a way to try and decide with a practice weapon.”

"……no. As Seo-jun said, I'll use the bow.”

“You don't mind?”

"Yes. His secret knowledge is very broad.”

Eun-hye accepts it very easily.

Whether it was a sword or a spear, it was ambiguous, so he definitely liked the idea of a bow the most.

On the other hand, Kang Chul expressed some negative opinions.

“It takes time to get used to the bow. That's not the weapon I recommend for beginners.”

“Eun-hye is a fast learner.”

“I don't see it that way, but you, you're stupid aren't you? Then let's do.”

He started discussing the bow structure with Kang Chul. The first suggestion came from his side.

"Can you make a compound bow too?"

“Who do you think I am? Of course."

“Riser should be a universal standard, but the handle should be fitting.”

"What about the rope?"

"I think three will be enough for now."

“Because he is a beginner, I recommend you have a customizable cam rather than a replacement cam.”

"That's fine. I also want a guide. ”

Eun-hye and Seol-ah make eye contact while listening to them talk.

Seol-ah tilts her head and asks a question.

"Mom, what are they talking about?"

* * *

"When you combine the two, this will be the price."

Eun-hye's eyes widen when she sees it. Considering their circumstances, it was an incredible price.

Eun-hye can't answer and mutters, clutching her.

He whispers so Seol-ah and Kang Chul can't hear him.

“The price is crazy, right?”

"really. Honestly, it's cheap. ”

"Do you have the money to buy it?"

"Yes, I took it out of my savings."

At this moment, fortunately, he had money.

He even had a fixed installment savings account, so when he woke up that morning, he spent money on the price of weapons.

Eun Hye shook her head.

"I can't buy it."

"Why?"

“I don't have enough money. I don't know if I'll have enough money for a down payment.”

"But I got it from my savings?"

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

Eun-hye doesn't seem to understand what she means. A confused look looked at him.

"I have enough money to buy both."

“Did you say you'd buy mine? Why?"

"I said I'd take care of you both."

“I thought you meant Seol-ah when you said that.”

To be honest, if he became a hunter, he could earn that kind of money.

The weapon he purchased now met his standard minimum requirements.

If everything went according to his plan, he thought of reassembling his weapon with better materials later.

Eun-hye looks at him confusedly, then nods her head after pondering.

"OKAY. I'll pay you back."

"You don't have to pay it back."

"I'll pay for it, no matter how expensive it is."

In the end, he decided to buy it.

After she and Eun-hye finish discussing, they look back. And meet Seol-ah's eyes.

"Mama."

“Yes, Seol-ah.”

“Is it very expensive......?”

He's a little confused. Looks like Eun-hye's last words have been heard.

Seol-ah is a little sad.

“Seol-ah, not like that.”

“Seol-ah can only eat a little ice cream.....?”

Eun-hye bites her lower lip.

It reminds her of the story Eun-hye told her in the hospital.

A story about Eun-hye, who can't buy her favorite ice cream when she raises Seol-ah alone.

Most of the time, Seol-ah is told that it is too expensive, but it seems that it is still in her memory.

Seol-ah looks resigned, but nods her head as if it's okay.

"It's okay. Seol-ah ate a lot of ice cream in the hospital.”

“Seol-aht. You can eat a lot of ice cream.”

"But you said you had to pay it back."

Eun-hye is so embarrassed. Paying back means personal debt. Somehow, there is a lot of room for misunderstanding.

As proof, Kang Chul looks at Eun-hye with a very sad expression.

"See."

“Y-ya?”

"I heard the situation, and it was quite sad."

Kang Chul, who came next to Seol-ah, stroked her hair as if to calm Seol-ah down.

And he wrote down what he said to the calculated price, and showed it to them again. Both Eun-hye and Seo-jun are surprised to see her.

"Master."

"Here we go."

"But, isn't this a price that can barely meet the cost of materials?"

Seo-jun roughly knows the materials to use for him and Eun-hye's weapon.

Usually materials with good cost performance are selected, but only high quality materials are selected.

So the price of the material is high. Not to mention the labor costs of making it.

In addition, a touch of Kang Chul, who will become the greatest blacksmith in the world in the future, will be included.

This price was a total loss to him.

“You love the gun, and more than anything, the kid is cute. This is a special discount.”

"Are you really okay with this?"

"You talk a lot. Will you buy it or not? Just choose.”

"I'll buy it. I'll buy it. Thank you very much."

"If you understand, use it more often."

"of course. I will only come here in the future. ”

Kang Chul smiled with satisfaction. He was the best master of the world, and had a lot of pride, but was also renowned for being loyal.

He is very fond of long-standing fixed trades, and somehow Seo-jun feels like he has joined the ranks.

"Hey, can you see the weapon in the corner?"

"Yes. I saw it."

“This is the trash made by the exam. You can take one. ”

Moreover, he even gave test weapons so that they could practice while he made weapons.

Kang Chul said it was trash, but the material was ordinary, and it was a pretty good weapon.

He says it as if it was nothing, but Seo-jun can feel a lot of his good intentions.

"I thought he was just a scary guy."

When he first met Kang Chul, he was already the number one blacksmith.

He thought he was a difficult person because of his stubborn face and quiet atmosphere.

But now that he had witnessed it, he was just a kind-hearted old man who wanted to take care of anything.

'Hey, he wasn't a bad guy from the start.'

Seo-jun thinks she said that she is nice to the person she likes. Kang Chul seems to like them a lot.

Seo-jun hears that she likes polite people, so that could be true. Or maybe Seol-ah's cuteness is the cause.

After all, it felt like a good relationship had begun.

“Kang Chul's. Thank you." Thank you."

"Thank you."

"Thank you!"

She and Eun-hye sincerely thank Kang Chul. Seol-ah also thanks Kang Chul, and lowers her head.

He chuckles, caresses Seol-ah's head once more, and gives a congratulatory order.

"I have to work now, so get out."

"See you next time."

Kang Chul rolled up his sleeves and had a serious expression on his face.

Seo-jun leaves the workshop with a warm heart.

“Seol-ah.”

"Yes. Daddy!"

“Come we buy ice cream.”

"Yes!"
