Chapter 13 - In Search of the White Rose
In order to get the Lily's memento ring, I'm looking for a white rose emblem that looks just like that one.
But I don't think there are any stores that sell the same thing, so I guess I'll have to find a ring maker.
"If you want to ask about artisans,........After all, I should go to merchants' guild!"
I decided to visit the Merchant's Guild first and ask at the counter.
"Um, I'd like you to make me a ring."
"Yes, a ring, of course. If that's the case, there's an accessory store on the main street down the stre――"
The receptionist tried to introduce the store, but I interrupted her to negotiate.
"No, not a store. Could you introduce me to a craftsman?"
"Well, excuse me ......, but what kind of ring is it? If it's just an amulet for adventuring, I think the ones sold in stores will be sufficient."
"No, I want a custom-made ring with a emblem on it."
"Emblem it is? Such a ring is for noblemen only, not for ordinary people."
"Is that so? Hmm."
I'm at a loss. It seems that the emblems plays the role of an identification card that shows the family lineage, so it seems that it is not easy to have it made.
As I was wondering what to do, a bearded merchant came and called out to the receptionist.
"Are you in some kind of trouble?"
"No, this customer ...... she said she wanted to get a ring with a custom-made emblem on it."
"Hmmm. By the way, sir, what is the reason for you to buy such a thing?"
I think it's better to be honest here.
"I received a request from the Baroness Riot."
Yes, I'm not lying. We're the ones who made the request, but Aelyria-san also wants the same thing.
"Ooh, excuse me. It's a request from a nobleman, isn't it? I understand. Normally, we don't allow outsiders to learn about our products, but you can visit our workshop here."
We have craftsmen with a reasonably level of skill.
The word "reasonably" gave me pause.
"Well, if possible, can you get me a skilled craftsman? The best in Royal Capital."
It would be difficult to have something exactly like it made if the craftman skills were poor. So I asked him to do it.
"I don't mind that, but it doesn't mean that they will accept it. Here in the royal capital, the best craftsmen for digging emblems are, although I can't say it out loud, ...... the royal family's purveyors."
"I see. Anyway, I'll try to talk to them once, can you do that for me?"
"Yes, I'd like to take a look at your adventurer's card, just to be sure."
The security check seems to be very strict to prevent misuse. However, the merchant who saw my card seemed to have determined that there was no problem, and brought me a map with a smile.
"Here it is. Please don't tell anyone about this place."
"Yes, sir."
"And ......No, it's nothing."
The merchant seemed concerned about something for a moment, but then smiled. I also thanked him with a smile and headed to a workshop where I heard there were skilled craftsmen.
"Here it is."
There was no signboard or anything, but there was a rather magnificent stone building in front of me.
"Hello!"
I opened the sturdy-looking door and walked in.
"Yes, what can I do for you?"
A boy of junior high school age showed his face from the back. I wondered if this boy was a craftsman.
"I'm here to have a ring with a emblems made at the request of Baroness Riot. I was referred by the merchants guild. ...... Is there anyone from the house?"
"Ahh, wait a minute. Master! It's new request from the noble."
The boy shouted toward the back, and a hushed voice replied.
"Send them through to the back."
"Yes, sir! This way, please."
"Yeah, I'm sorry to disturb you."
In the back room, a thick, sturdy-looking desk was placed in the center of the room, and on it were several sheets of parchment, probably drawings, spread out in a messy manner. Next to it, there were dozens of files and chisels on the shelves, probably tools for sharpening the ring.
Then, a small old man who was working on the desk with a ring in his hand gently placed a magnifying glass on the desk and looked at me.
"Oohhh!"
As soon as the old man saw me, he suddenly shouted and his eyes peeled back in surprise. Hmm? Why is that? I'm sure this is the first time he's met me.
"What stunning ...... boobs!"
Oh that.
Sometimes, guys stare at me. My breasts. Is it because they're a little big?
"You're being rude, Master."
A boy who looked like a disciple whispered to him, but the master didn't seem to mind at all. He continued to stare at my chest as if he were devouring it without reservation. Mumumu.
"Excuse me, I'd like you to make a ring for me."
I covered my chest with my hands and said.
"Hmm. Boobs, huh"
"A rings!"
I wonder if he's deaf, this old man is.
"Oh, oh, a ring. But I have other noblemen's requests at the moment. It can't be soon enough. How soon do you want it, young lady?"
"Well, I'd like to ask you as soon as possible......."
"Hmm.......Well, yeah..........I'll have it done tomorrow if you'll let me see your boobs in all their glory."
"What?"
"You can't ask her to do that, master. She'll get angry. One day is not enough time. ......"
"Shut up, you're my apprentice! You're the one who should be asking for it. That magnificent boobs must be filled with a nasty, bell-shaped――Oooh, ...... what a creative mind! The power! I've decided! I'll make a boobs emblem!"
""You can't!""
Me and the apprentice boy stopped the eloquent old man from his silly idea.
"What the hell, it's boring. It'll make a great work of art, and the noble madam will be jealous, won't she?"
"I don't want it. May I make a drawing on this parchment?"
In order to specify what kind of ring it was, I decided to draw a picture. I don't want it to be shaped like a boob.
"Hmm? If you can draw, you can try drawing, but it's impossible for an amateur."
"I won an award for a drawing I did in junior high school, you know. I'll borrow this quill and ruler."
I'm confident in my drawing, but I'll take the [Sketching] skill as well.
【Sketching Level 5】 New!
That's it. After that, I remembered the ring that the Baroness wore, and it looked like this: ...... *shwip*,*shwip*,*shwip*.
"Mmhhh!"
"It-It's amazing how you can do this without even a rough draft. ......!"
The master and the apprentice are surprised, but it's probably like this. I drew up a white ring without a hitch.
"This is it, and the color is white, please."
"Ummm ............ I don't like it!"
"Ehh?"
"As long as you don't show me your boobs, I won't make it."
You old man......!
I clenched my fists in anger.
