DN : [68] I'm Gonna Screw You!
🕑 Added 2024-01-22 16:00:07 +0000 UTCSince August had made up his mind, he left the familia after securing the mitrhil ingot.
After spending some time, he arrived at a mansion.
This was none other than Tsubaki's residence. If adamantite had the most allure for anyone, it was undoubtedly for blacksmiths.
And the only blacksmith August knew in Orario was Tsubaki.
Standing at the gate, he rang the doorbell.
Then August quietly waited for Tsubaki to come out.
One minute... five minutes... ten minutes... twenty minutes...
Every now and then, August would knock again, but there was no response.
August's patience wore thin, and he finally decided to barge in.
With the magic of "Blink," passing through walls and courtyards was a piece of cake. After all, he had been here once before, and he knew where Tsubaki's room was.
Just as he entered, passed through the living room, and walked into the corridor, August suddenly stopped...
Because Tsubaki, wearing an extremely casual outfit, walked from the other end of the corridor, especially the upper body, which was barely covered with a piece of cloth.
Tsubaki was obviously still not awake and seemed a bit drowsy.
"Huh? Are you August?"
"Yo~ Good morning."
"Good morning! Yawn~"
Tsubaki nodded, greeted casually, and then prepared to go back to her room.
August turned around and was about to slip away because if he didn't, he was dead. He had taken advantage of her before, and he had been beaten up quite badly, and it had hurt for several days.
"Ah!!!"
Sure enough, the next second after August turned around, a deafening scream rang out.
Without any hesitation, August ran for his life. If he didn't, he was dead.
Boom!
However, suddenly, a door flew open.
It smashed into August and sent him flying. Following that, Tsubaki, emanating a chilling murderous intent, walked out.
"Excellent! August, you dare to break into my house, peek at me, you really underestimated me."
"Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. I knocked on the door, you didn't open it, I have something important to discuss, so I broke in. I didn't expect you to..."
Before he could finish, August was slapped away with a thud.
Then Tsubaki directly took down a machete hanging in the living room. It was one of her prized works, undoubtedly a masterpiece.
"Calm down, Tsubaki."
"I am calm now."
"Where are you calm? You are going to kill someone."
"Exactly, I am going to kill you, you scoundrel."
In the background, August seemed to see a malevolent ghost manifesting above Tsubaki's head.
"Wait, I can explain."
"No need, bastard."
"I have something for you."
"I want your life."
Watching Tsubaki approaching step by step, August was in tears. He swore never to break into Tsubaki's mansion again, it was suicidal.
And at this critical moment, August suddenly thought of the purpose of his visit.
He quickly took out the adamantite ingot to show Tsubaki.
"What's this~"
Seeing the adamantite ingot, Tsubaki's murderous aura dissipated by more than half. She directly grabbed it.
Observing this adamantite ingot, Tsubaki's face showed increasing shock and disbelief.
"Where did you get this?"
"I smelted it myself."
"Don't talk nonsense, just you? Do you know what forging is? This pure adamantite, nearly impurity-free, is something even I can't achieve. Except for Lady Hephaestus, no one can smelt it."
"But it really was me who smelted it."
"Fine, tell me, how did you smelt it?"
"Sorry, it's a trade secret."
"You fuck~"
Tsubaki then raised the machete in her hand, seemingly ready to kill August if he didn't talk.
"This is what I smelted. Even you said it yourself, in the whole of Orario, except for your goddess, no one else can smelt it. I am a newcomer, can I still collude with your goddess to deceive you?"
"That's true."
Tsubaki reluctantly accepted this explanation, put down the machete, but her gaze didn't move away from the adamantite ingot.
This made August understand further: the allure and temptation of such rare metals for blacksmiths.
"Well, I came to find you to discuss cooperation."
"Cooperation? Spare me, our familias have just established cooperation. I was the one who found you, and in the end, you pushed everything to the familia."
"I just wanted some accomplishments worth mentioning~"
August felt a bit embarrassed. After all, he had just decisively rejected her, and now he was back at her door. It was indeed a bit awkward.
Tsubaki rolled her eyes, not bothering to talk further.
Glancing at August, Tsubaki walked toward the forge behind her. In no time, she returned with a black longsword in her hand.
"Here, I give it back to you. I've already maintained it for you."
"I thought you'd need some time to study it."
Seeing Elucidator return so quickly, August was a bit surprised.
"This, consider it compensation for taking advantage of me twice."
Saying that, Tsubaki took the adamantite ingot and directly placed it between the two peaks.
Although the scene was beautiful and imaginative, it was such a large adamantite ingot. Was his advantage really worth that much?
"Too much, you know how much this adamantite ingot is worth?"
"I know."
"Then you..."
"I said it, this is compensation for taking advantage of me."
"You're a bandit."
"What's wrong? Don't you agree?"
Saying that, Tsubaki raised the machete in her hand again, with an attitude of seizing it forcefully.
This made August's face turn pale. Such a large adamantite ingot, August didn't know the market price, but it was definitely valuable. Was he just going to give it away?
"Are you made of diamonds? So valuable, and just by looking at you, do you think you're worth that much? Even if it's for hiring, such a large adamantite, it's not something you can spend in one or two times."
"Bastard, you actually compared me to those prostitutes."
Tsubaki was furious. She was the leader of a big familia, the top blacksmith in Orario, and he compared her to a group of sex workers.
"With your current behavior, you've already put yourself in that position."
"You... you..."
After you for half a day, Tsubaki still couldn't articulate a proper response.
While watching Tsubaki about to explode, August suddenly felt that he had gone too far.
"Fine, since you said that, consider this adamantite as the fee for 'hiring.' But it's me hiring you, and you have to pay."
Saying that, she directly pulled August towards the bedroom.
"Calm down! Calm down!"
August was also in a panic. He had just broken curse the day before yesterday, guarded the mansion alone yesterday, and today he was about to be forced?
"I'm very calm!"
Tsubaki completely ignored August's struggles, already in an overwhelming mood.
