Unexpected Reincarnation

The blacksmith

Suburbs or often referred to as slums are on the outskirts of the city, and as the name suggests it is an area that is less noticed. In this place there are almost no rules at all because even though something happens most people also do not care.

Dirty muddy streets with trash where mana and shabby buildings almost everywhere complement the reasons why this place is neglected.

Almost everyone here is an outcast and a poor man who doesn't even have the money to buy food. And most of the people who live here suffer from hunger and disease.

"You why? "

I asked ilya because she didn't look like she used to.

"Aren't the people here so pathetic, Leo? "

"His name is also life, some are above and some are below, this is inevitable"

"Although this is not unfair, it is not their desire to be born in this situation"

After I thought that my life was also not far from sad, not only from the past of this body but also my previous life.

This is all that is called destiny, those who are weak can only submit to their destiny while the strong will try to change it.

"Hey what are you doing! "

This girl suddenly approached a girl who would be younger than him by several years. The boy looked very thin because he had not eaten for a long time and then he took out the food he bought some time ago and gave it to the girl.

I can't believe the girl who tried to kill me when we first met had such a soft side.

I walked closer to him and patted him on the shoulder.

"What's wrong? "

"Looks like you need more food, ilya"

Seeing ilya feed the boy made the other children gather around us, but fortunately the food he brought was enough for all of them.

After that we left the place and the boy waved to us and said Thank you.

"But yeah, I didn't think you'd pity them like that, I thought you didn't have a conscience at all"

I tried to tease her a little because the atmosphere had become a little gloomy just now..

"Don't make fun of me, what do you think I'm like, I'm a very pretty girl with an angel-like heart, so stop saying that"

He proclaimed himself like that with a sullen expression on his face, responding to that I just smiled lightly at him.

"Yes yes, you are like that"

"It's good that you know that"

It seemed like she was happy with my words but she seemed to feel embarrassed and turned her slightly reddened face away.

It didn't feel like time had passed and we had reached the spot described by Gordon, a shabby shop with iron shop markers in front of him.

"Hey ilya, we've arrived"

"You sure this is the place? "

"It should be yes"

"But this place.. "

I understand why he hesitated like that, compared to the other buildings in this place, this building is the most shabby, the marker that marks this place as an iron shop has rusted and there are parts that have been weathered in several places.

"Maybe it's just the outside like this, let's go in"

Because Gordon himself recommended it, I think this place was pretty good, even when we came in.

"Uhuk"

We both coughed because of the dust that was where in this place.

"This place is so dusty, let's just go leo! "

"Hahh one more brash customer who visits, this place is not for someone like you young lady! "

A voice of a middle-aged man sounded from the inside of the shop, and from the sound comes a short man with a long beard up to his feet.But unlike other dwarves even though their bodies are short they have a large body that is muscular but not degnannya, I also used my skills to make sure.

"Seoarang dwarf?, no, I don't think it's entirely dwarf, what's the mix? "

Hearing my words he became angry even though he was already a bit angry before, but this time he actually exploded.

"Indeed what's with mixed race huh!? Are you looking down on me because I'm a mixed race just like that guy!! "

What's up with her? Why did she become so angry with the words I just said, I really don't understand the reason.

"It seems you've misunderstood, I've never looked down on you"

"Ehh, are you serious? "

"Yes"

"But why were you like that just now? "

"I was just a little surprised, because I had never seen a mixed race before so I reacted like that"

"really that? You're not gonna demean me? "

"Yes, but why are you acting like that? "

"Unlike other mixed races, half-dwarves are usually not recognized by dwarves or other humans, so they are often looked at one eye"

Ilya who from silent opened her mouth and explained to me the root of the problem was why this old man behaved like that.

"But it's not silly to look down on someone for such reasons, not from what they do"

Hearing my statement made this old man moved even to the point of tears.

"O-oh ter turns out you're a good person, sorry for accusing you of being a child"

He cried out loud, It's true that people are easily carried away.

"Can you finish this, you look so ugly crying like that! "

"You're rude too, son, but what do you need, a sword or armor? I have a lot of things here with the best quality"

Hearing him talk like that made me activate my analysis skill and organize around the direction where all the weapons are neatly arranged. And sure enough as he said the quality of the weapons here is really amazing.

"It's a really amazing weapon"

"You can see it? Is it an analysis-type skill? "

"How do you know? "

"I just guessed it from your behavior, because I also have the same skill but mine can only be used to assess weapons"

"I just found out you have that skill? " Ilya

"I also just found out about the skill"

He just kept quiet to respond to me, probably because he thought I was joking with him.

"Well, how much does this gun cost? "

"Hahaaha you don't have to pay for it, seeing that the weapon is useful has made me happy"

"But I can't take it for granted

Right in the middle of our conversation a group of people entered the store, from the looks of it I could tell right away that they were a bunch of trash.

"Hey old man! It's time to pay the security money"

One of those at the front opened his mouth for the first time, and seeing from his attitude he seemed to be their leader.

"Don't I pay you last week, why are you asking for it again? "

"Last week yes last week, now it's different old man, huh? "

He said he stopped after seeing me and Ilya who were there.

"Gee, it looks like you have a guest here, what if"

He slowly walked towards the two of us but he was stopped by the old man who immediately stood in front of us while putting on his body.

"I'll give you the money, so don't bother them both!! "

When he heard that the bastard stopped and received the money he gave then they immediately left, but when he was in front of the door he turned his head back, more precisely in the direction of Ilya and left.

"Ugghh basic disgusting person"

Realizing the gaze from her ilya could only feel disgusted with her.

"Haaaahhhh finally the man's man left too"

"Who exactly is that old man? "

"Call me garad, and for that person, just think of them as a bunch of thugs that make this place even harder"

"Then why would the Mercenary Guild keep quiet, would they never try to deal with them? "

"It's been done, but because there is the influence of a noble and plus this place which is a wasted place makes the case completely ignored"

But there was still one thing that stuck in my mind, recommending this place to me was Gordon the leader of all the mercenaries, then they didn't know each other, but why was he silent like that while his acquaintance was in distress.

"Hey Garad, do you know Gordon? "

"He saved me once and I owe him a favor, but that's just how our relationship is"

It turned out like that, I guess their closer relationship turned out to be just a passing acquaintance.

"Do you want me to take care of them for you? You can take that as a payment from me"

He shook his head at my offer, it seemed like he did not want this matter to be long.

"Well, if you want to, get back to business, there's something I want you to value for me"

After that I took out the sword that I had stored in my storage and showed it to him.

"I-this!? ".....
