NOVEL NEXT chapter 23
23. Taste that doesn’t lie
“Mister, we’re here!”
After solving the pig, it was evening and he headed straight to the smithy.
As always, when I call for the uncle, he comes out of the inner door.
He had been making weapons until just now, and his hair was wet with sweat.
“Did the kid come? You came right on time.”
Judging from how well it came together, it must have been completed just now.
“Ohhhhh! Where’s the sword?!”
“Wait a minute.”
The old man entered through the back door and came out with a large sword wrapped in bandages.
Seeing that I am of a size I have never seen before in this world, the special sword I requested was correct.
Wrapped in bandages to prevent spoilers.
This uncle is a nerd.
“You said, “What’s wrong?”
“If you can’t do this, you can’t work as a blacksmith.”
Well, even if no one uses rhino horn material, there are many materials that are harder than this.
If you get stuck here, you’ll have to find another forge.
“Now, open it.”
“Friendly-! Friendly–!”
It’s big enough to make even an old man use both hands.
I made a monkey noise and handed over the sword.
That big, powerful and beautiful sword has a demonic charm that turns any man into a monkey, no matter how smart he is.
Should I say I feel an aura?
The first thing that came to my mind when I was handed the sword was that it wasn’t that heavy.
If you look at the weight alone, it’s not heavy, but it’s light compared to how it looks.
The size is the length that comes up to my chin when standing on the floor.
“Mister, how long is this?”
“It’s 170 centimeters including the handle.”
The width is about 20cm at a glance and the thickness is about 3cm, but there is no dragon slayer.
I put my hand on the end of the bandage to gaze rape this sword.
When the bandage was gently pulled, the bandage came off and showed off its beautiful figure.
The overall blade was rough and dark gray, as if it had been carved out of stone, and the material of the iron horn surrounding the blade was dark as if it could absorb even light.
The handle was not attached separately, but integrated with the sword body, and was wrapped with a bandage to prevent slipping.
The sword with the bandages bare was even more erotic than the naked woman at this moment.
“Whoa! Whoa!”
I licked the side of the sword.
“This is the taste that doesn’t lie!”
very honest!
“Okay. Your name is Dragon Slayer.”
As I decided on a name for the sword, a blue window appeared in front of me.

is this kid? The owner of the system theme likes it. Dare to hit the candle?
If you meet the writer later, don’t give me a gungdipangpang.
“It’s the first time I’ve seen someone name a sword…”
“Leave it alone. Sometimes there are guys like that.”
“Haa… mister. May I dance as a token of appreciation?”
“No. Don’t.”
I started twerking right away.
“I told you not to do it…!”
I’m doing more because I don’t do it.
I wouldn’t have done it if you asked me to.
Luna pretended not to see and glanced sideways, and the man just turned around.
30 minutes passed in that state.
“Huh! Thank you!”
“Haa… is it finally over?”
“Can I do more?”
“Then know that you will never set foot here again.”
Cabi.
“Ah, that’s right, kid. You haven’t reported to the Adventurer’s Guild about catching named monsters yet, have you?”
“What the fuck?”
“Please tell me so I can understand…”
“What is it?”
“Named monsters have little information, so if you tell the adventurer’s guild, you can get a small fee for the information, so refer to it.”
can’t stand money
“I’ve told you everything I have to tell you, so now I’m going to go out quickly so that I can rest.”
“Ah, before we go, I’d like to ask you for this too.”
I took out a safe from my inventory.
“What safe is this…?”
Before coming to the smithy, I took care of the pig and looked for anything that could make money, and I found it.
It’s hard to break with a fist, and I couldn’t just break it out because I didn’t know what was inside.
If there are even gold coins, they will be destroyed together.
“Someone gave it to me, but I didn’t know how to open it.”
He said he would give him money and everything before he was beaten, so he wasn’t lying.
“Haa… Yes. I’ll try it whenever I have time, so come back later.”
Also, Jessemon. Because there is nothing I can’t do.
“Then we’ll just go.”
***
the day after the incident.
The empire was once swept away by a great wave.
“Luke. Today’s newspaper.”
“Do you have a newspaper?”
There are no TVs or cell phones, but there are all sorts of special things.
If it’s going to be like this, it’s easy to write as a modern fantasy. Why did you put a medieval tag on it?
I got the newspaper from Luna.
I usually don’t look at newspapers or news because I’ve lived my whole life, but today is an exception.
I did something yesterday, so today’s newspaper can’t help but be fun.
[ Tied up half-naked in Viscount Square in Berkeley. ]
Such was the headline decorating the front door of the newspaper.
I didn’t have any pictures, probably because there was no technology to take pictures using magic, but even if there were pictures, I wouldn’t have put them on because they were dirty.
I read the text right below the title.
[ Early this morning, it was reported that Viscount Berkeley was hanging half-naked in front of a fountain in Empire Square. Viscount Berkeley did not recover, as if he had been beaten dozens of times in the face, and under him was a list with a slave trade agreement written on it. Judging from that, it is assumed that Viscount Berkeley was retaliated against. ]
“These trashies are accurate.”
last night.
This was Luna’s suggestion after stopping me from trying to kill her.
– Make them naked and tie them up in the plaza where most people go.
Even the God who drank it would shake his head, saying, ‘This is a bit…’.
I didn’t know that Luna had such a personality, but I guess I couldn’t help it in front of the sweet fruit of revenge.
A kid like that always tells me I’m weird.
Originally, it would be normal for the upper floors to prevent this kind of information from leaking out, but since it was hung in a square where so many people go, how can it not leak out?
If you killed all the witnesses and silenced them, you’d have to kill a third of the Empire’s people.
“Okay, now that we’ve seen everything, let’s go back to work.”
Yesterday, I only received the sword, had dinner and slept, so I didn’t have a chance to use it.
So I wanted to swing it quickly. It doesn’t matter if it’s a human or a monster.
“Luna! Prepare quickly!”
“······As I always tell you, only Luke-sama needs to prepare.”
“Deheh.”
***
When I entered the adventurer’s guild, it was cluttered somewhere differently than usual.
‘Did an S-class adventurer come?’
“Adela. Why is the guild so messy today?”
“It’s word of mouth that the nobility of the empire has committed a crime.”
“Wow! You know that!”
“Didn’t Luke do something…?”
I’m involved, but I’m not the one who made it that way.
I smiled and looked at Luna.
Then, Adela, who followed my gaze, looked at Luna with a shocked expression.
“Could it be Luna-san…?”
“······ Kheum.”
“It can’t be…”
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Mr. Luna was next to Mr. Luke and was infected.
Adela said with a look of despair.
No, I didn’t do it, so why are you doing this to me?
“Adela, you’ll definitely regret it if you did that to me.”
“…I regret it even now.”
i met you
I must pretend I didn’t hear the back story.
You’d be surprised to see what I’ve caught in one day.
‘Oops! Such a terrifying monster! As expected, Luke-san!’ and they will look at me again.
So now, when I say ‘Who are you?’, ‘Ah! Please don’t throw away watashi!’
I took out the iron horn’s head from the inventory and put it on the reception desk.
“······This!”
“It’s a named monster? Any problem?”
“Please explain in detail!”
“The receptionist… ordered!?”
“···please.”
yes yes That’s the attitude of the person asking for it.
“Luna. Description.”
“·······?”
But. I’m a science major so I can’t speak well?
I’m not good at math, though.
I took a step back and heard Luna explain.
Ferociousness, carnivorousness, and symptoms similar to berserk red eyes.
“To catch a named monster…”
How are you, Adela? Are you feeling a little respectful now?
“This is enough…”
Adela muttered something to herself.
How embarrassing can a person be to the point of muttering to himself?
“Mr. Luke. Do you have any intention of subjugating the giant ant? If you complete the request, you can be promoted to Class D.”
“I’m leaving right now!”
“Now, wait a minute! You should listen to the explanation and go!”
“Oh right.”
“First of all, Mr. Luke is currently an E-class adventurer, so he cannot request to subdue the Giant Ant.”
Then why the fuck did you tell me?
Is it hope torture or something?
“Listen to the end…”
“You’re listening.”
“You look full of displeasure on your face.”
is it?
“Luna, how is my face now?”
“Then why did you tell me the fuck? He looks like he’s saying.”
Oooh, as accurate as a dog! I can be a translator.
“Anyway, Giant Ant itself is an E-class monster, but this time it was judged as a D-class request because we had to subdue the lair. You can go with me.”
“Am I the one who chooses the adventurer?”
If you choose, it’s definitely a beauty.
“No. There is a D-class adventurer who has already received a subjugation request, so I will be with him. Oh, he’s just over there!”
I looked back at Adela’s words.
“What is it, kid. Haven’t you gone to the academy yet?”
There was a bald head with a large double-edged ax on his back.
“Okay. Let’s kill.”
“Luke, no way!”
