This is steel. Tatsuo, please give the next one.
Yes, Mother.
So saying, Kazane put the ingot in her hand down on the floor.
Due to being sunk in the sea for many years, the ingots in the workshop Kazane discovered were covered in filth and were practically indistinguishable from each other. Kazane was wearing her Appraisal Glasses, an item indispensable for a rchant, and was sorting the ingots as she Appraised them.
She was inside the workshop in the sunken Tour City. Kazane had needed to temporarily cancel Dragonization to start Appraising, so she was inside the water mbrane made by Louise. Then Tatsuo brought her another ingot from outside the water mbrane.
God Dragon Empre... no, Kazane-sama is also a rchant.
Co to think of it, she entered the rchants Guild when she made the Rock Hold Hot Spring, didn't she.
Yumika and Yui's Water Knight were watching her. They had tried to assist, but Tatsuo saidI want to be Mother's helperand started diligently carrying the ingots, so Yumika and the others had nothing to do. Also, since the surroundings were illuminated by Indestructible Crystal Lamps, it wasn't particularly dark.
And although most of the ingots in that place were of steel, there seed to be a few rare ingots among them. There were a few ingots of tals such as Adamantium, Hihiirokane, and Orichalcum.
Though the number one discovery was sothing else.
It's burning.
Be careful. That's a dreadfully valuable item.
The item was placed next to the piles of sorted ingots. It was a lantern. And inside that strangely extravagant lantern, a transparent white fla was burning.
That fine item had been buried in the workshop's rubble. It was already burning when Kazane and the others discovered it. No one should have entered this place in the 600 years until now, so it had probably been burning for 600 years. And the lantern was completely undamaged.
The display says it's called Pilot Light of the Gods.
The item's description was displayed in the Window thanks to the Appraisal Glasses.
Na: Pilot Light of the Gods
Rarity: S
Effect: Origin Fla source. A furnace lit by this fla can lt even the highest ranking ore.
Owner: Tachiki Yumika
It looks like it's so kind of blacksmithing item, but the owner is Yumika?
... Uwaa.
After Kazane spoke with a mystified expression, Louise looked troubled.
Eh? Eh? Why is Louise-san making a face like that?
Yumika rapidly beca anxious due to Louise's reaction. Her dragon face looked dispirited, but it wasn't cute. By anyone's standards, it was scary. However, it was obvious from Louise's expression that there was sothing troubling. And she opened her mouth.
Umm. About that Pilot Light of the Gods. Those are extrely important to the dwarves. They're valuable, and they're managed by smithing Mikos.
... Huh?
While Louise explained plainly, Yumika's eyes were blinking as she listened.
If a furnace is lit with that fla, it will be able to forge things like Orichalcum, and it should probably even be able to forge Black Rock Dragon horns. It's a very avidly desired item for smithing masters, or said another way, it's truly valuable. Speaking frankly, having a workshop with a furnace lit by a Pilot Light of the Gods and maintaining that fla is an essential condition for being a highest ranking smithing master. Johnz has been hoping to possess and has been applying for a pilot light since long ago. Well, enough about that. Because of that, by all rights, that Pilot Light shouldn't be in a place like this.
After those words, Kazane tilted her head. A natural question crossed her mind.
Then why was it here?
Perhaps they were just that cornered during the war with Dragon Emperor Gaiel. In the first place, this workshop is a small, private one. Yet it has materials like these... that's a little too strange.
Exactly as Louise said, the workshop Kazane and the other were currently in was about the size of an ordinary arms shop. To maintain a Pilot Light of the Gods, a larger furnace was necessary.
The fact that this place is close to the aristocrat's mansion where we found the gold coins ans this is that kind of area, right?
After Kazane's words, Louise nodded. The Water Knight controlled by Yui looked like it was listening with a serious expression.
Perhaps they planned to secretly build a powerful weapon here. If a Pilot Light is around, an average size furnace should have no problems as long as it's durable enough. A Pilot Light and a Miko are a set, so if we look around, I'm guessing we'll find the remains of a smithing Miko?
Louise looked around as she said that, but the building was quite broken down, so she couldn't find anything. Then Kazane asked a question.
So then, why was it registered to Yumika? Is it because she touched it first?
Kazane found it with the Infinite Key, but Yumika was the one who cleared away the rubble and picked it up. That being the case, Kazane thought it was probably registered to her at that ti.
It's possible that it happened just because she touched it first, but... it's probably because she's a tamorphosis Miko, isn't it? The Pilot Light of the Gods isn't an ordinary fla, but it doesn't seem to be a type of spirit either... I think it probably falls under the tamorphosis category?
Louise replied with words that ended in nothing more than speculation. Then Yumika tilted her head and asked a question.
Umm... in short, what does that an?
After Yumika's question, Louise raised her hands in a congratulatory way and spoke.
Congratulations on your inauguration as a smithing Miko. Smithing masters from all over the continent will now be aiming for Yumika.
Eh?
Yumika's dragon face stiffened. Louise continued without giving Yumika a chance to catch up.
If the Dwarves of the Bongo Empire learn about you, I think you will be treated as a super VIP. You could get ahead in life by marrying a king. Ah, but Yumika is now of the Hermit race, which is related to elves, so gald Magic Kingdom might butt in. Ah, gald is the elf country.
Wait wait.
Yumika's eyes were spinning due to suddenly being incessantly talked to. The discussion grew too grand, so she didn't have a way to cope.
So what should I do?
That depends on Yumika. You can choose a future of being waited on by brawny dwarves.
They're all bearded geezers, aren't they?
Yumika was into good-looking guys. Middle-aged n were a no thank you.
Gya, reverse harem?
Shut up!
After Kazane's words, Yumika snapped. Due to her excess forcefulness, she spit out Cold Breath, and the water in front of Yumika froze. As might be expected, Kazane thought she shouldn't have said that, and she made a serious expression as she made a proposal.
For now, shall we talk to Yuuko-nee and ask her to take asures?
Then Kazane dumped the problem on soone else for now. It was the fastest problem dumping in her life. She did have the calculation that the high usefulness of the Pilot Light of the Gods ant Yuuko-nee would act to solve every obstacle anyway, but this girl loved to drop problems in others' laps.
Though adventurers made their livings by exploring and selling the items they obtained for money, so in its own way, that was a proper act as an adventurer.
Before that, it would be best to talk to soone from Tsuvara. And luckily, the future queen is above us.
Ah, right.
After Louise's words, Kazane nodded. This was Tsuvara's territory, which ant it was likely a national matter, so they had to ask about it. Then, as Kazane and the others were discussing with each other, Yui's Water Knight called out to them from the side.
Um, it seems Onee-sama has sothing to talk about, so can we briefly go back up?
Yuuko-nee'sInformation Linkonly included the mbers of the diving group, so the ssage was sent through Yui, who was remotely controlling from the ship. For that reason, Kazane and the others decided to put the ingots in the Mysterious Warehouse and temporarily return to the surface.
Wasn't this ti supposed to be an easy, peaceful, and comfortable trip without any problems?
Who said sothing like that?
In response to Yumika's teary voice, Louise shrugged and replied. Problems were things that always turned up unexpectedly.
Yes; problems always turned up unexpectedly.
Signs of dragons...
Gaiel's subordinates?...
Kill... that Dragon Emperor's subordinates...
With the wrath of Tsuvara's navy.
...... Kill
KillKillKillKill
KillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKillKill
As Kazane and the others rose to the surface, they didn't yet notice that sothing was waking at the bottom of the sea.
And the sunken decayed warship at the bottom of the sea now quietly started to move.

Yumika: That, that's right. All troubles should be dumped on Yuuko-nee.
Kazane: Yeah, let's drop everything on Yuuko-nee's lap. That way, everything will turn out fine.
