“Aah! I am so sorry! You are so short so I didn’t see you! Are you hurt?”
Skyla questioned in worry as she crouched, holding Thorin, worry clear in her eyes.
“!!!”
Amaya’s expression changed. She quickly glanced at Thorin to see his expression and just as she expected,
“…”
Thorin was clenching his fist as he glared at Skyla.
‘Skyla you fool!’
Amaya cursed in her head.
How could she make a mistake like that!?
She had told her so many times that the Dwarves were sensitive about their height! How could the first thing she says to him was calling him short!?
Amaya facepalmed.
‘We messed up…’
Felberta muttered.
‘I shouldn’t have brought her here.’
Amaya replied.
‘You couldn’t possibly predict something like this. It was not your fault.’ Felberta sighed.
‘…’ Amaya didn’t say anything.
‘So what are we going to do?’
‘What else? We just need to look for other dwarves, we might not get the best deal, but we can take care of that once we step into the Dwarven Continent. I am sure more Dwarven Family will approach us in the future.’
Amaya sighed.
There was no point in getting angry at Skyla, she would have a long talk with her later, however, since they were in front of others right now, she would just let it go and leave this place as naturally as they can.
‘Skyl-‘
Just as Amaya was about to call her,
“Wait, this dagger…”
Skyla spoke up as her eyes fell on the dagger that fell from Thorin’s hand. She quickly grabbed the dagger and the more she looked at it, the brighter her expression got,
“Were you the one who made it, mister?”
She questioned as she glanced at Thorin.
“So what if I am?” Thorin questioned back in a rude tone. He didn’t like this girl one bit!
She dared call him short!?
You are short!
Your whole family is short!
He was just about to kick this girl and those other two out, however, before he could, Skyla grabbed the dagger he created.
“Wow! Did you really!? To create a dagger like this, just how skill do you have to be to create something so perfect!?” Skyla questioned, her eyes were shining brightly.
“Y-You like the dagger? Don’t you feel it is too bland?”
Thorin questioned with a curious look on his face.
“Like it? I love it!
And why does it matter if it looks bland? A good dagger isn’t something that just looks good, this is the best dagger design I have ever seen, it is thin and light, so it is easy to carry around. Not to mention the sharpness, it is just perfect!
Many think that making their dagger as sharp as they can is a wise decision, but that is just like a double edge sword, there are often situations where you use your dagger as a hidden weapon, and those weapons tend to hurt the wielder before they could even be used to attack the enemies.
This dagger, however, is perfect for any condition.
Perfect size, perfect weight, perfect sharpness, perfect balance, everything is just perfect.
It is the most masterfully created dagger I have ever seen!”
Skyla exclaimed.
“T-The person I was selling this dagger to rejected it saying that it was not up to the standards,” Thorin spoke as he glanced at Skyla.
“Haaah!? What a fool! Must be one of those idiots who knows nothing about daggers and just want one because he wishes to look cool.” Skyla snorted.
“Right!? I was thinking the same thing! How can someone be so dumb?” Thorin agreed as he snorted as well.
“Heh, just make him one of those daggers with unnecessary design and no practical use. I bet he would love one of those. It is not like that idiot would know about it.”
Skyla laughed.
“Tsk, why would I even make a weapon for a fool like him? For someone who doesn’t understand the worth of my creation, I would rather not sell him anything!”
“Heeh? Why not? It is easy money with low effort, isn’t it? What’s wrong with that? It is not like you are stealing from him, it is his fault for being an idiot and rejecting the best weapon of his life and choosing something mediocre.
And honestly, for someone with his skill level, even a halfheartedly created weapon by you would be something amazing.” Skyla spoke.
“Hmmmmm. You are not wrong.” Thorin started thinking.
“You are right! Fools like them should be treated like fools. Hahaha!”
Thorin laughed out loud. He had made his decision.
“Yes, don’t sell this treasure to someone like him, it would rot away in his hands. How pitiful would that be?”
“Indeed, indeed. That bastard would have definitely wasted all the efforts I put into making it.”
“Tsk Tsk, people are just foolish.” Skyla snorted.
“Indeed indeed, all barks but no skills.” Thorin shook his head as well.
“…”
“…”
Amaya and Felberta on the other hand, couldn’t understand the situation.
“S-Skyla…” Felberta called out.
Skyla, who finally came out of her reverie, quickly stood up and then extended her hands toward her new friend.
“Right, here is your dagger, take care of it, don’t sell it to any idiot. I still have some things to do.
Ah, do you know where the dwarf named Thorin is? We have some business with him.” Skyla questioned.
“What business do you have with me?” Thorin questioned with a big smile on his face as he grabbed Skyla’s hand and stood up.
“Huh? You are Thorin?” Skyla questioned.
“You think just any Dwarf can create this Dagger? Eh?” Thorin questioned back.
“Haha, that’s right!” Skyla then turned towards her sisters and,
“Sisters, I found the one we wanted to find. As you two said, he is pretty talented.”
Skyla spoke as she patted Thorin’s head unconsciously.
Another act the Dwarves hate since it indirectly made fun of their height, but for some reason, rather than shouting in rage and kicking the three of them out,
“What business do you guys have with me? If you have someone as capable and smart as this lass, I am sure you aren’t here to just talk about bullshit.
Here, have a seat,
Tell me, what brings you here?”
Thorin asked about the business. Not minding Skyla’s actions at all.
“R-Right.”
Amaya, who quickly saw the chance nodded.
She didn’t know what happened, however, it was clear that Skyla had somehow made friends with the Dwarf.
As expected of the woman who no one in the harem hates…
Her extroverted energy is honestly terrifying…
Amaya shook her head to get rid of these thoughts,
The four of them sat down and started discussing the business idea Amaya wanted to present.
