NOVEL NEXT Chapter 27:
"Morning nya." Nekra says her eyes fluttering as she wakes up with a yawn.
"Say Nekra wanna go to dwargon?" Yuki asks wanting to get out of the dungeon abit.
"Sure nya." Nekra says excited wondering if she will get to see Auntie Rimuru there.
"Are we going somewhere?" Safi asks holding the small dragon version of herself.
==================
Meanwhile outside the gate of Dwargon.
"This is quite a line huh?" A slime says as he hops up to the entrance with a goblin.
"They must be strict with checking everyone." Rimuru says
"Once we are inside we can move around as we please, though." Gobuta says
"As we please Huh?" Rimuru says going into its thoughts again.
"Hey! Hey, hey, hey!" Mob number 1 says
"What's a couple of monsters doing here?" Mob number 2 asks
===================
A few hours later Nekra, Yuki, and Safi arrive at the gate.
"What happened here?" Safi asks
"Yeah it's emptier than last time." Yuki says
"Yuki the last time was several hundred years ago nya." Nekra says
Yuki nods.
The trio walk up to the gate.
"Hey, we wanna enter." Safi says
"Do you have any form of identification?" The dwarf guard asks
"Ah right..." Nekra says as she fishes out her old adventure card.
"Uhhh..." the dwarf guard says not really sure what to say.
"What nya?" Nekra asks
"this card is ancient." The guard says
"Really nya?" Nekra asks with a head tilt.
"It should be fine you are good to go." The guard says absentmindedly.
'Charm skill is amazing.' Nekra thinks.
"So what happened out here earlier?" Safi asks
"Oh uhhh, a big powerful monster came by I fought it but had to get new pants from the damage." The guard says
"Uh Huh." Yuki says as they walk in.
"There's an armorsaurus in the mines!" A guard shouts running up to the guard post.
Suddenly several dwarfs are seen grabbing weapons and running out of the barracks by the entrance.
"I wanna get my sword and bracers maintained nya." Nekra says
"Ah, isn't the shop we had them made at just down here?" Yuki asks
"Mother? Can't you maintain them yourself?" Safi asks
"I wanna see an old friend you should recognize them too." Nekra says somewhat cryptically to Safi.
Nekra walks up to the shop and knocks on the door.
"Yellow Nya? Is anyone here? I'm fairly certain I bought my gear from this shop years ago and wish to have it maintained." Nekra says opening the door to see a dwarf hammering always at a magisteel sword.
"Huh?" Kaijin says looking up.
"Ah it's you!" Kaijin shouts recognizing Nekra.
"Yeah I wanted to have my bracers and Gladius looked at by a professional blacksmith to see if they were maintained properly." Nekra says
"No you are the cat girl from the dungeon." Kaijin says
"So no?" Nekra asks
"Ah that's what I meant sure I could spare a few minutes while I'm waiting for the brothers to get back with the ore." Kaijin says
Nekra pulls her gladius out of thin air.
"This sword... it's very similar to one in a story my father told me." Kaijin says
"... it was about 200 years ago Sooo." Yuki says with a nod.
"You dwarves live a longer life than humans?" Safi asks
"We are on our third king Gazel and he is 300." Kaijin says.
"...."
"Say Yuki... you don't think?" Nekra asks
"It couldn't be." Yuki says
"I still remember trying to teach that boy magic." Nekra says
"He learned rather well." Yuki says
"True..." Nekra says
"The Sword was really well kept." Kaijin says
"The bracers could use some work and have a few knicks in them." Kaijin says
"Eh? I don't remember oh wait yeah...." Nekra says remembering Safi sending a laser into them to see if they would survive. Amazing they blocked it.
Suddenly 3 brothers walk in.
"So how was it?" Kaijin asks the brothers as he is working on the bracers.
"We were kinda attacked by a armorsaurus." Garm says rubbing his head awkwardly.
Kaijin drops his hammer and looks up.
"At least you three seem fine." He says with a breath of relief.
"Yeah apparently a slime gave the guard an amazing healing potion." Dord says
"Hmm hmmm." Myrd says
"He Kinda wanted to meet a black smith." Garm says
"You should meet him nya." Nekra says
Suddenly the three brothers look at the cat girl like they did the elves.
"Perverts! stay away from momma!" Safi shouts holding the dragon plushie look alike.
"I just noticed but is she the dragon?" Kaijin asks
"Hehehe, maybe." Yuki says horrible at lying.
Nekra face palms.
The three brothers and Kaijin look somewhat scared.
"Anyaway if you are bringing the slime here we have to go nya. It isn't our time to meet yet." Nekra says
"What does that mean?" Kaijin asks
"You will find out Nya." Nekra says leaving with Yuki and Safi.
