Forceful Dwarves

"Van-sama! We'll take care of it!"

"We can make you a full-body armor of Orihalcum!"

"Whoa!"

The dwarves are in a festive mood even though we haven't even told them we'll give it to them yet.

"No, no, I'm not thinking of processing it right away..."

Pushed by their momentum, I manage to try to resist. But Havel and the others, already in a trance, didn't hear me.

"Alright! Then let's bring it back and set up the furnace!"

"This is not like the usual Mithril! We need to get it hotter and hotter!"

"Yes! I'm not leaving the furnace for a week from now! Stock up on food!"

The people passing by began to gather around to see what was going on.

"Wait a minute! This will be stored at the Lord's mansion for a while..."

"Storage? I don't need money! I will make the best armor in my name!"

"D, Dwarf armor made in Orihalcum, even the great powers don't have that!"

"Please! Give it to us! We'll pay for it if you like!"

When I said that I would not give it to them, the dwarves changed their expression and started talking like that. It seems strange to me that they would ask me to make them an Orihalcum armor that not even the major powers have for a price.

At any rate, I tried to deny it because I wanted to make it myself. But then I hear a voice from the crowd.

"Hey, it's Orihalcum!"

"They want me to make something for Van-sama that even the big powers don't have."

"Those stubborn dwarves?"

The conversation was overheard by the crowd because of the loud voices of the Havel and the others. In addition to the growing noise, the fact that the dwarves themselves wanted to make Orihalcum's armor would no doubt become a rumor that would spread outside of Seat Village.

If this happens, we have no choice but to use it against him.

"...Huh, I understand. Then, if you can make a sword that has more cutting power than the Mithril sword I made, I'll recognize your skill and let you strike Orihalcum."

He deliberately let out a sigh, then chuckled, and handed down the conditions for striking Orihalcum. Then, Havel and the others stepped back with gritted teeth. A recent resident of Seat Village tilts his head at this situation.

"I hear that Van-sama's weapons are great, but are they better than the weapons made by dwarves?"

"No, I don't think so."

I heard such a voice, but an old villager nearby crossed his arms, smiled wryly, and spoke in denial.

"Don't you know? I'm telling you that Van-sama's weapons are superior to Dwarven Weapons. Especially if you just focus on the sharpness, they are far superior."

"Yeah, that's what Dee-sama and the other adventurers said too."

And then the explanation comes in. I listen to his words, pretending not to hear them, and try to get my head around them. This is an excellent nudge. Chuckling inwardly, I cower my shoulders in annoyance and open my mouth.

"It can't be helped. Well then, if Dee can make enough Mithril armor to satisfy me, I'll give you permission to produce the Orihalcum armor. But the finished armor will be Dee's armor, and it will be used on the front lines."

"Mm! That's something I can handle!"

"Oh! What's the point if you can't display the finished product!"

"You have to use it to understand the power of Dwarf armor!"

As soon as the conditions were relaxed, Havel and the others started laughing with excitement. Apparently, they are confident about their armor. No, they simply don't have the confidence to beat the sword I made.

Either way, I am still researching armor that can take a slash or impact. Whether it is iron or mithril, there are times when it is better to mix other metals into an alloy than to use pure metal to make a strong armor. I am not interested in making stainless steel, so I have not been able to do that much research. Therefore, there is a possibility that dwarves will make armor with well-balanced metals rather than me making pure metals or appropriate alloys.

Taking all this into consideration, I decided to be proactive and place an order for Orihalcum's armor with Havel and his team.

"Well then, I look forward to testing the Mithril armor. I'll probably be back in three months."

"Oh! I'll take care of it!"

Havel and the others responded with a strong smile as they flexed their arms and made a strong fist. Then they immediately turned on their heels to go back the way they had come.

"Hey, fellas! Hurry up and build your armor!"

"Oh! Just in time, I just came up with the most powerful armor in the world!"

"Bull, you son of a buck! I'm better than you, I'm smarter than you!"

And with that, Havel and the others returned to their smithy, paying no heed to the attention of those around them.

It was a forceful and persistent attitude, just like dwarves. At least I was able to tell them that I was going on a trip, so I guess I achieved my original goal.

Incidentally, it was later rumored that as planned, the dwarves had said he would present me with a suit of armor from Orihalcum, and Seat Village's fame seemed to have risen a little.
