This too shall pass (6)

The dwarves’ actions are strange.

“Have they come?”

“The construction is almost finished.”

“The honorary elder only needs to stay still.”

“That’s right. We cannot allow dirt to touch the honorary elder’s hands.”

“We will finish all this work. The honorary elder only needs to rest.”

– They say they are working hard, what’s strange about that?

What’s strange about it?

– Of course it’s strange that they say they are working hard.

– Why?

– Because there’s no reason for it.

Labor is always unpleasant work.

No matter how much you like something, the moment it becomes your job you will realize – ah, work is work.

No matter how much you like it, when you become a pro it’s tough!

Just like kids who love games and aspire to become pro gamers, but end up frustrated.

Or illustrators who love drawing and go pro, but end up frustrated.

Or writers who enjoy writing, but suffer from deadlines every day... No, like a writer!

– That sounds really real huh?

– Right?

For some reason I really empathized with that last part.

Well, it’s no big deal.

– That’s why those guys must be up to something else if they are suddenly working so hard!

– Why do you think so? My dad’s dwarves could just be working hard. Have some faith!

– Yes, I believe in dwarves. And an ax that you believe in will get your feet hurt.

– Ugh!

So I don’t trust dwarves.

Let’s assume they are after my neck.

What could the dwarves possibly do in this situation?

First, the worst case scenario.

There have been times when the dwarves colluded with the empire.

Earlier, Princess Yugrasia herself told me she had various demi-humans including dwarves under surveillance.

Of course, in this case the empire doesn’t know, but the dwarves infiltrated secretly through their hidden passages.

Since they had blocked entry and exit of dwarves afterwards, the busy empire dealing with the Demon King probably didn’t notice.

Well... If they suddenly started building walls it would seem suspicious, but still.

Of course, as precautionary measures during construction all merchant entry was prohibited.

Goods and trade would happen outside the walls, and we notified that there would be no trade in case of any issues.

Since all dwarves really need is food and liquor anyway.

Checking the storehouses, there was enough food for 1-2 years of abundance, and with rationing it could last 3 years.

No matter how much it’s the empire, with the geographic position of dwarves as a race it can’t be easy to penetrate.

Even if something happens the ones with power would need to come, and by the time they arrive the walls would be near completion.

As powerful as the anti-demon king weapons! Not even dragons could easily penetrate these walls!

They may seem at hero-level on combat power scales, but still, dragons are dragons.

Unless they are mutant heroes or Demon Kings, dragons are still the undisputed strongest beings on land! What could penetrate walls that could stop even dragons!

– Seems like master has a lot of them nearby?

– Umm... I see...?

Did I imagine a dozen people flashing through my mind just now?

I must have imagined it right?

It has to be my imagination.

– It’s not your imagination is it?

– Maybe the Demon King is actually preserving the balance of the world.

Technology, weakness, and hard work – That is mankind’s trademark.

Humans overcome their limitations with technology and effort!

That is the trait of humans, and why there are so many of them.

Of the 12 tribes, the dwarves of the Black Anvil tribe living here numbered just over 300.

Not all members of the tribe live here, but even if you combine the entire tribe’s members it doesn’t surpass 1,000.

Taking the Black Anvil as average, the total dwarf population is around 12,000 at most.

That’s about the population of a small human territory.

Elves have higher numbers than dwarves but are still few. Beastmen have more than them but even combined can match a human kingdom at most.

Yet balance was maintained because average combat power of other races was much higher, and if it collapsed, the gods intervened.

But now humans have become far too powerful.

That hero alone fought and subdued a dragon, an ancient one at that. And Mirea easily captured that hero!

The dwarves would also choose to live as fools over unleashing an evil god on the ground.

“Oh, and there was one more thing I wanted to say.”

“What is it?”

“Just say it.”

“Whatever you want, we’ll make it and show it to you!”

As if they had gained confidence, the elders told me to say anything, so

“Ah, then please make a weapon that can take down a dragon in one shot.”

I told them the weapon I wanted without refusing.

However,

“Don’t we already have that?”

“Huh?”

“Isn’t it over there?”

“Won’t the metal bat be enough to take down a dragon?”

“Blasphemous words, but even a god would not be able to withstand that pain if hit by it.”

“Yeah, that’s right. That’s right!”

What they were saying while getting up from their seats was not normal at all.

Especially declaring war against God at the end.

That was a word I didn’t utter even during the three dangerous periods of middle school, namely the storm of puberty, second year syndrome, and high school first grade syndrome.

“Have you lost your mind?”

“Us? Why?”

“We never imagined hearing such words from you.”

“No one but the evil-handed Hectare, you would say such a thing!”

– Are they asking for a fight?

– Endure it. It’s the result of the master’s usual actions.

I don’t know why everyone is like this to me when I haven’t done anything wrong.

“What I’m trying to fight is not God but the Demon King. Why would I want to fight God?”

But for now, since I was at a numerical disadvantage, I decided to back down.

“Is the Demon King such a powerful being?”

At the dwarf elder’s words, I nodded my head.

“He is immune to the metal bat.”

“How, how can that be!”

“Unbelievable!”

“The Demon King is so strong, he really is the evil that will destroy the world!”

The atmosphere changed.

Just by saying that the metal bat doesn’t work on him, the dwarves became afraid of the Demon King.

“Indeed, an existence that even the evil-handed Hectare fears.”

“The name Demon King was not a false name.”

“I understand what you’re trying to say.”

Seeing the dwarves nodding their heads seriously, I also nodded my head.

“The Demon King is the enemy of the world. Please do your best for the world.”

“Understood.”

And so, They vowed to create a weapon to confront the Demon King.

Watching the backs of the dwarves as they left,

“It’s time to start investigating.”

“Who? The Demon King? Or The princess?”

That’s wrong.

I didn’t want to know about those two’s actions, but I couldn’t help but know them.

What I have to investigate now is

“The elders and the dwarves.”

“Huh?”

“I declare as a professional escapee. Those bastards are about to run away soon.”

“Huh?”

The metal bat looked confused, but I was sure.

And as I expected, the dwarves attempted an escape. Without even realizing it was all within my calculations!
