This is weekend,

After got home from the city, the next day I spend reinforcing the chain with command code, which used up a lot of my mana and energy rendering me dead tired after a certain point.

4 layer of strengthening command code. I know I could do better but with only one-day to do this, I could say that this result is good enough.

I give the chain to Ben the next morning and spend that day sleeping like a hibernating bear.

Mana only can be recovered through good rest after all.

Or that stupidly expensive mana potion I guess. 

Speaking about mana, my little sister Alicia has a greater amount of mana than me. Even with her job not being revealed yet. I think I know what would she got. Probably mage as a worst-case scenario or it also could be a grand wizard. 

Either way with the amount of mana that she has I can rest easy knowing she will become stronger than me.

----------

In front of me, there are two people. 

One is the female knight that I meet the other day.

And the other one is a young maid that probably around my age.

The female knight wears casual clothes that give a certain charm different than her knight form that I previously know. Her smile is soft and had this calming aura.

In normal circumstances, there is no way a normal person would not get charmed by this sight of her. But,

From behind the figure of the female knight that is almost angelic, there is this completely different aura coming from the person standing behind her.

The cold gaze that could freeze this entire room now has been a shift into a certain death glare. 

'This maid is not a maid at all.'

 That is what I was thinking.

This is the meeting that I and lady Lucia planned to do a few days ago.

"So, the reason I need your help is this."

After saying so, lady Lucia's personal maid passes her certain thing that is wrapped with a cloth.

Placing the thing on the table she slowly opens it and reveals what inside.

"This is 'Flamebringer' a magic sword that can unleash flame. This is one of the artifacts of my family. But, as you can see."

The sword is broken. From what it remains you can see that it was previously a sword with a twin edge. But, it is broken into two separate pieces. From the remaining, it probably broke not too long ago. The damage is still felt almost as if it was just break yesterday.

While I was thinking so, lady Lucia continue

"This sword broke after my fight with an elemental Wyvern. I manage to kill it but at the cost of this child."

Elemental wyvern, it's the name of a certain flying monster. People said they were so dangerous they could wipe out an entire city all by themselves. To manage to kill those monsters. Just what kind of person are you, lady Lucia.

"Of course because this is my request, I will provide you with what you need.

You just need to say it. Iron, metal, magic stone."

"But the reparations of a magic sword will be a lot harder than just to create a new one, why would you get out of your way to do that much hustle just to repair a magic sword?"

"You notice that, heh I know I can trust my judgment about you. As you can see this is just a simple fire sword. It's easy to create just a new one.

But, the thing is."

"This is the first magic sword created by lady Lucia's grandfather, he is a proud magic blacksmith. He loved this sword of his equal, if it's not more than his own family.

Lady Lucia did not have permission to use this sword. Let, alone break it.

Knowing this her grandfather, until this sword is repaired, refused to talk to her nor his family."

The one who explained that to me is the maid that from a while ago just silently standing behind her.

"Ugu... Lin, I know I want you to be the one who tell him that, but you didn't need to tell him that far you know..."

Lady Lucia said so to the maid.

'So the maid name is Lin huh'

"My lady you need to think about your family more, I am selected for the very reason to watch over you by your grandfather. Do you think this reckless behavior of yours didn't give me trouble?"

The maid scolded her master. The very lady that she served.

"So, how is it, Ray?

Would you be able to do it?"

"Well, I will try my best. Lady Lucia"

"Thank you Ray. I know I can trust my judgment.

Well, we will meet again very soon. For now, this is the material that we already have prepared. Make a good use of it."

After saying so lady Lucia and her attendant leave the guild house.

"This is gonna be a lot of works. Probably I should ask her for a mana potion after all."

After saying so I look at the materials that they already prepared and, there is a mana potion in here. 

'Just who is that person!'

The amount of what they already prepare scared me.

I go to my workshop that day, with a certain fear of the unknown.
