Chapter 14 – Crafting

The week finishes quickly, and the weekend begins. Regal wakes up early on Saturday so he can go to Atelier Gun & Bullet. Tanner had requested that he come in to earn some money, so he packs a loaf of semi-stale bread along with some fillings and a metal canister of water into his inventory for nourishment throughout the day. With this, he should be prepared for any situation.

He isn’t particularly fond of the bread, especially since the soul forming, but it is affordable and he currently only has twenty silver coins in his possession. The money he has earned over the past six months is about eighty silver coins, but the food expenses and the cost of dying once has already cost him three quarters of them.

When Regal leaves his house, the sun hasn’t fully risen above the desolate eastern mountains outside the city, so the light collected and refracted within the city is still dim, and the street lamps are still alight.

By the time he reaches Atelier Gun & Bullet, Grand Theore’s first floor is much brighter and the stores are starting to open. Tanner is already inside his shop when Regal arrives, waiting for him behind the counter.

“Aqua isn’t here?” Regal ask curiously while looking around the store.

“Aqua doesn’t help out at the shop in the morning during the weekend. Why do you ask, are you interested in my daughter?” Tanner asks sternly.

Regal shrink back away from him, frightened and hurriedly saying, “N-no, I was just curious. I mean, all the academies are closed on the weekends so I thought I would come see her.”

Aqua’s father suddenly break out with a booming laughter, saying, “If you like my daughter, just say so! I will pass on a good word to her for you.”

“T-there’s really no need. She is just a good friend.”

“A shame… Well, follow me out back to the workshop, I have some work for you.”

Tanner leads Regal through the door at the back of the shop and into the area where the forge and all his blacksmithing equipment is. Regal involuntarily takes a step back when the heat from the forge washes over him, before unsteadily entering the workshop.

Against the rear wall is a forge made of an unknown material, which looks like clay but has the sheen of metal. Short flames inside the furnace lick the wood as they burn a deep red and give off a terrifying heat. An anvil and a large trough of water are nearby. Several benches covered in various molds and scraps line the walls while an endless quantity of all sorts of tools are hanging on the wall.

Tanner beckons for Regal to hurry up, leading him to one of the benches where he uncovers a dusty book. He passes it to Regal and orders, “Learn this.”
