“More importantly, are you saying you really made this to give to our little commander?”
Meanwhile, at Basto’s question, Velugon awkwardly averted his gaze.
“Well, rather than that, your little commander saved me inside the subspace, and released me from being bewitched by Krazar, so….”
He hated to admit it, but Tie’s comfort, patting the back of Velugon’s hand inside the subspace, had been quite useful.
He fidgeted with the bag he had brought.
“Actually, this is not all there is. Last night I couldn’t sleep well, so I made various other things too….”
At that moment, Tie, having spotted something inside the opened bag, rounded her eyes.
The child ran over in a flurry and shouted.
“Factory Manager, you stole batteries from the subspace!”
Flustered, Velugon hurriedly wrapped the bag behind him.
“St, stole? I merely secured research materials necessary for developing new equipment…!”
However, Tie had already buried her nose in the bag.
“One, two, three, four! You stole four batteries! And a hair pin and teddy bears too!”
“I, I told you that is not it!”
Tie narrowed her eyes and stared fixedly at Velugon.
“To steal children’s toys from the kindergaren….”
This was truly a terrible crime of a very bad nature.
Meanwhile, having become aggrieved, Velugon looked around at the members.
“I merely wanted to make some things for him!”
Then, as if to say take a look, he opened the bag and pulled something out from inside.
It was a small teddy bear.
“Didn’t you keep staring at this when you were coming out of the subspace?! So I merely thought it would be nice if I made this into an orb.”
The members’ eyes widened.
Tie herself only tilted her head with a bewildered expression.
“What is an orb?”
“You call yourself a magician and do not know what an orb is? It is a magic tool in which magicians store their own mana or spells!”
As Tie’s mouth fell open, Enzo whispered from beside him.
“Usually they use a round sphere-shaped one a lot.”
Hearing that, something did vaguely come to Tie’s mind as well.
The magicians he had passed by the previous night came to mind.
Each of them had several round beads hanging from their waists or shoulders.
Basto had only told him that those were ‘tools magicians use.’
‘Why doesn’t Tie have one….’
He had already been secretly disappointed over why he did not have that tool.
“Inside this doll, I embedded a specially combined magic crystal stone. Since you go around with the appearance of a young child, I thought this would suit you visually better than an ordinary orb….”
Velugon cleared his throat.
“Usually magicians do not carry just one orb around, do they. So, just in case, I made two more.”
When two more teddy bears appeared from the bag, Tie’s eyes grew even wider.
Of the many toys strewn around the kindergarten, Velugon had properly chosen very good ones.
They were a little worn because children’s hands had touched them, but the teddy bears were none other than the Teby Bear series.
It was an expensive brand said to be made stitch by stitch by a German craftsman.
‘There are even all three as a set!’
The polar bear version, the brown bear version, and finally the pink panda version.
“Still, this leaves a slightly bad taste in my mouth.”
But Velugon promptly snatched the bag away in front of Tie’s eyes.
“When I hear you mention ‘stealing’ just because I brought a few dolls out from inside a monster’s subspace.”
Tie was so flustered that he stared at Velugon with his eyes wide and round.
“I was a fool for thinking you would like them. I may as well burn them in the incinerator.”
However, Velugon had already slung the bag over his back as if to show him.
As expected of a blacksmith with a nasty personality, even his expression had turned fierce.
“W, wait!”
In the end, Tie blocked the path of Velugon, who was about to turn away.
“Canceled! What I said about stealing is canceled!”
Velugon tilted his head crookedly.
Tie hurriedly continued.
“Tie heard that these days the world is different, so grown-ups also play with toys a whole lot!”
“….”
“If you watch YouTube, there are a lot of uncles who build this much Lego and have it too.”
From deco experts to bead crafts to slime.
Rather, the trend was for adults to play with toys more seriously than children.
“Also, grown-ups collect Pupetmon stickers even better too! Because their purchasing power is strong. Tie only collected seven….”
So if you thought about it that way, wasn’t it not really a big problem?
That Velugon had brought teddy bears out from the subspace, that was.
“Uung, so grown-ups can also play with toys, sooo.”
Tie’s eyes shone with an innocent expression.
After that, he casually ran over and took the bag down from Velugon’s arm.
“Also, when a grown-up gives them, you’re supposed to say thank you and receive them.”
When he hurriedly stuffed the teddy bears and hairpin into his cloak pocket, the pocket puffed up like hamster cheeks crammed full of sunflower seeds.
However, Tie paid it no mind and bent at the waist.
“Thank youuu, Tie will use them in a good place.”
Only after taking the donut-shaped device Velugon had been holding as well did Tie let out a sigh of relief.
‘Tie’s teddy bears almost ended up in the trash….!’
At first he had not realized it, but thinking about it now, if Velugon had made something for Tie, then of course he should keep it no matter what.
‘Factory Manager is a really famous blacksmith!’
Because he had seen all sorts of things inside the subspace, it was easy to forget, but Velugon was truly an incredible weaponsmith.
There were also countless people who wanted to buy the weapons he made.
‘That Elastin person also wanted to buy weapons from Factory Manager during the meeting.’
It had been Elanes rather than Elastin, but there was no way Tie would remember the name properly.
Anyway, Tie had obtained for free weapons that others coveted.
And not just one, two, three, but four of them!
“Tie finally has orbs too….”
Overwhelmed with emotion, he was stroking the teddy bear sticking out of his pocket.
Veil asked Velugon.
“What is this pin? Did you bring this out from the subspace too?”
Velugon nodded.
“Indeed. It is not anything great, but it is armor in its own way. I just changed only the metal part to special magical metal.”
Hearing those words, Tie quickly took the pin out of her pocket and stuck it into the top of her head.
Somehow, it felt as if strength were welling up through his body.
Velugon smacked his lips and watched Tie.
“…Anyway, do make sure to try that ring-shaped amulet on your permanent familiar at least once. And if it seems broken, bring it to me any time.”
Tie smiled brightly and nodded.
“Yees!”
“Th, then the payment.”
Then Basto stepped forward carefully.
Velugon shook his head as if to say it was fine.
“It is fine. The core of Krazar, which had been an eyesore, disappeared thanks to the Necromancer King, and the weapons district, which nearly went under because I was out of my mind, seems to have recovered to this extent too….”
She gazed at Astie, who was hugging the dolls tightly in her arms and grinning.
“Isn’t it a good thing for me as well to secure one more trading partner with a bright future?”
It was when the members were exchanging awkward glances.
Tie, who was listening to everyone’s words and not listening at all, raised one hand.
“Can Tie go to Tie’s room first?”
Veil rounded his eyes.
“Why the room?”
“To brag about these.”
“To who?”
“To Kkamang and Ppu… no, to Kkamang!”
“Sure, go ahead then.”
Tie nodded and ran toward her room.
The members let out little laughs as they watched his back.
It was just as a short silence was flowing among those left behind again.
“More importantly, do you people not have anything to say to me?”
At Velugon’s voice, the Agabert members turned their heads.
Looking at the members, Velugon added flatly.
“The Necromancer King, that’s not a disguise, is it?”
