Knock Yourself Out Volume 3 – Supana Onikage

“Hey Aishia, you’re a dwarf, so do you know anything about these forges?” “There are basically two types,” she answered. “One is mostly the same as you’ve described: You put material into a furnace to make it more malleable, hammer and knead it out, then shape it into the form you want. More or less the same as making bread.” Wait, did you just put blacksmithing in the same category as bread baking? “I mean, you’re kneading materials into a certain shape, and using a furnace, so isn’t it the same?”

“Yeah, I guess you’re right! What a novel insight, Aishia!” “Heh heh, my yeast rises every now and then!” One involved melting metal down, and the other was baking dough to make it firmer, but they were pretty similar, it was true. Meanwhile, Dia was cocking his head, looking curious. “Hmm… Is the blacksmithing process, like, a trade secret? Or do you think they’d let me see how it worked?”

“I doubt they’d let you sit in on the making of weapons, but the other type of blacksmithing, ‘casting,’ would probably be fine to watch. You know that alcohol you bought from Satie? If the blacksmith’s a dwarf, I bet he’d let you in exchange for a bottle of that stuff.” “I see. Yeah, it tracks that dwarves could be bribed with booze,” I said. “Also, in a town like this, there are bound to be one or two dwarf-owned forges.”

“Makes sense! I mean, when you think forges, you think dwarves!” What flawless logic! My Aishia really was brilliant! “By the way, if forges make you think of bread baking, what would you liken the process of casting to?” “Hmm… Cookie baking, maybe? For one you pour the material into a mold and the other you’re cutting the material in the shape of a mold, but with both you’re making a bunch of the same-shaped stuff, so it’s pretty similar.”

“Oh, I see. That’s good to hear, then. I love matcha cookies!” First, we went and visited the weapon shop. The plan was to look around and see what it was like, maybe buy a few things, and during the course of conversation with the owner, ask about any dwarf-owned forges in the area. I also wanted to get Aishia a weapon.

I’d equipped her with a mythril knife back in the dungeon just in case, but she hadn’t really ended up using it. “I probably should have asked you this before we went into the dungeon, but what kind of weapon are you good with?” “Me? Er… An instrument, I suppose?” What, so you beat your enemies over the head with a guitar or something? That’s pretty rock and roll.

First off, a recap of the story so far! I’m Karina—formerly male, currently female! The Goddess sent me to this world and gave me her power and a body in her likeness in order to settle a personal grudge, and then once my role was over and she didn’t need me anymore, she told me I could do whatever I wanted here from now on!

Set loose in this world with an incredibly OP ability called spatial magic, I decided I’d try my hand at being an adventurer in the town closest to me, which turned out to be Solasidore. A lot happened after that, including me purchasing the half-dwarf slave girl, Aishia, and heading to the port town Verald and tussling with some pirates to befriend the cross-dressing elf boy, Dia! Huh? Dia isn’t actually a cross-dresser, since it was something I forced him to do against his will, you say?

Wh-What are you talking about? I don’t recall doing anything like that. If you’re just gonna criticize my actions, get outta here! Shoo! I just wanted to spice things up a little, that’s all! Is that a crime?! And so, we became a party of three, but more party members means higher living expenses, so I decided to make earning money my next goal.

You can’t run a harem when you’re broke, after all! I’ve gotta find some way around here to get rich quick, so that I can add “sugar mommy” to my growing list of careers! “I’m back, dear Solasidore! Did you miss me?” At long last, we’d made it back to Solasidore. That said, the return trip itself hadn’t taken long at all. In fact, I could have warped us to the gate in an instant with my teleportation ability, but the time stamps would have looked too suspicious, so we’d padded out the time by hanging out in our spatial magic base for a while.

Upon reaching the gate checkpoint while pulling a dummy merchant’s cart behind me, I showed the guards my Trader’s Guild license. Aishia was a slave and thus my “property,” so she was exempt from inspection. Dia had his own ID, apparently, so I had him use that for now. Once we got into town, the plan was to sign him up as an adventurer and get him a guild license to match mine. “’Sup, guards!
