Chapter 57 - Placing an Order

Leon didn't know what had transpired in the guild. Currently, he was meeting a very special person in the library.

Hestia had brought Belle over.

With short white hair, she looked slightly different from Bell, the protagonist of the original story, but she looked like another person.

Alfia of the Hera Familia.

"Leon, she is Belle, the first member of my familia."

"I'll trouble you to help her hone her combat skills in the future." Hestia said with one hand on her waist, smiling.

"Leon-san, I'm Belle Cranel. Please give me more guidance in the future, Leon-san."

Belle looked at Leon carefully, and said in a very nervous tone.

The tone alone showed that this little girl was very timid.

"Just call me Leon. Don't be so reserved. Come here at night. I'll teach you combat skills and experience." Leon gently comforted with a smile.

He wondered how she had thought of becoming an adventurer with such a personality.

In the original story, Bell had come to Orario to become an adventurer because he wanted to meet a beautiful girl, and becoming stronger was only secondary.

What is the dream of this girl?

Is it to meet a handsome boy?

Leon thought with interest.

"Yes, Lord Leon!!!" Belle responded.

Okay, it's upgraded from san to sama.

Leon didn't seem to pay much thought to this matter. After nodding, he looked at Hestia.

"You should have registered your familia, right?"

"Yes, I took her to register in the morning." Hestia smiled and nodded.

"Have you found a consultant?" Leon continued to ask.

"Yes, I found it too. It's your adventurer consultant Eina."

Hestia nodded and grinned, her big white teeth gleaming, looking very proud.

Leon: "..."

Even after all the twists and turns, even if Bell has been feminized, Eina is still Belle's adventurer consultant?

Leon said with a smile, "Take Belle to pick out a better set of equipment."

Leon took out his passbook from his pocket and handed it to Hestia.

After yesterday's date, although the two did not formally confess to each other, they had already understood each other's feelings.

And since Belle is part of Hestia's familia, Leon will naturally take care of her. But Leon did not plan to go with them.

Hestia can take Belle along with her. It can also improve the relationship between them.

"Thank you very much, Belle will pay you back when she makes money in the future."

Hestia took it without hesitation and thanked him with a smile.

"Thank you very much, Leon-sama!!"

Although Belle felt that this was a bit inappropriate, she couldn't say anything since Hestia had taken it, so she could only thank Leon.

"Well, go ahead."

Hestia took Belle to buy equipment and supplies for the adventure.

Leon also left the library and went to the Hephaestus familia base to find Tsubaki.

Since he has upgraded to level 2, he needs to change his weapon.

Leon wanted to change to a second-class weapon.

It just so happened that a bone had been dropped when he had killed the Goliath before. It was just right for forging a second-class weapon.

Tsubaki was Leon's exclusive blacksmith, so Leon naturally had to go to her.

Leon wanted to let Tsubaki forge a weapon with the Durandal property. Also, it would be preferable if it had potential for further upgrade.

As for whether such a weapon can be forged successfully, Leon didn't know.

It didn't take much time for Leon to arrive at the Hephaestus familia's base.

Since Leon had come here many times in the past few days, and Tsubaki had also taken special care of him, the guards didn't stop him and let him in directly.

After walking around in the huge castle for a long time, Leon asked the members of the Hephaestus familia and confirmed where Tsubaki was.

Then he came to Tsubaki's workshop.

"Oh, Leon, I haven't seen you for a few days. Are you here for weapon maintenance again?"

When Leon came over, Tsubaki was not forging, but was polishing a metal ore.

Tsubaki immediately noticed Leon's arrival.

When she looked up and saw that it was Leon, she smiled brightly and waved to Leon and said hello.

"Hello, Tsubaki."

"I want a new weapon."

Leon also waved and said hello with a smile.

Hearing the words that came out of his mouth, Tsubaki's eyes lit up.

Her movements stopped, and she appeared in front of Leon in an instant.

"You kid, I have been your exclusive blacksmith for ten days, and you are finally asking me to forge equipment." Tsubaki said excitedly.

"Tell me, what kind of equipment do you want?"

"Nowadays, there are various types of equipment in Orario. I will make them at the next level."

"I want a second-class long sword with the Durandal property, which can be upgraded in the future. The main material is this. Can you do it?"

Leon handed over the bone the Goliath had dropped, and then expressed his request.

"A weapon with the Durandal property that can be upgraded?"

"No problem."

"But where did you buy this bone? This thing is at least dropped by a monster of level Iv.4."

"It is more than enough to forge a second-class weapon."

Tsubaki agreed to Leon's request without thinking.

She had forged several weapons that could be upgraded through subsequent forging. So, this was within her capabilities.

But she was more interested in the bone in Leon's hand because she had never seen it.

"Well, don't ask." Leon said with a smile.

Leon didn't intend to tell her about the Goliath incident. There was no Goliath-related thing in the experience he had given to the guild.

"Okay, no questions. Give me two days."

"But, are you sure you don't need defensive equipment?"

Tsubaki nodded, and didn't ask any more questions, but asked about Leon's defensive equipment.

Leon answered, "Ah, defensive equipment is not needed, this set is good enough for now."

Tsubaki said, "You are really weird."

Leon said with a laugh, "Haha! Is that so?"

"By the way, if you get some special metal type materials or dropped materials that can be used to forge weapons in the future, come to me first, I will give you an absolutely cost-effective price."

Tsubaki said without looking back while walking towards the forge with the Goliath bone, as if she was chatting with a friend.

"Well, okay."
