Capítulo 27: Tsubaki Collbrande
After the celebration, the group went back and had a good night's sleep. Ensuring an energetic morning's to come.
With a whole week to himself, Zephyr wasn't quite sure what he was gonna do the whole time. Aside from taking care of Noir and training, he didn't have much to do. He couldn't be a loot goblin since he couldn't go to the dungeon.
He couldn't explore the outside since he was too lazy, so maybe roaming around Orario or making a friend or two was ideal for him.
So he set out, leaving the Twilight Manor to search for something actually interesting other than studying and training.
He got his daily Jagamarukan, anf strolled around the bustling streets of Orario. There was much to see since it was a giant metropolis, Babel pierced the clouds of Tenkai and the buildings brought color to the place.
Safe to say it was the perfect opportunity for Zephyr, he had a lot of free time and he hadn't explored Orario as much.
He could count on one his hands just how much buildings he has visited. Twilight Manor.. The Guild.. That random pawnshop.. The Hostess of Fertility..
'Yeah my adventurer's spirit is lacking.' Zephyr cupped his chin, thinking long and hard on what to do.
Then an idea came to him, 'What about a blacksmith? I need to get my sword checked as well. Plus I could get some additional gear.' a lit lightbulb briefly appeared on the top of his head.
And with that genius idea he decided to continue his relaxing week.
As he explored the areas of Orario he eventually found a very ordinary looking Workshop.
It was on the seventh floor of Babel, meaning it was one of the floors rented by the Hephaestus Familia.
It's logo looked like Two hammers some sort of flame on the upper middle part of the logo. The symbol of the Hephaestus.
As he identified the workshop he entered it.
The smell of sulfur and the sound of metal clanging together immediately entered Zephyr's ears.
As the bell of the rung, Zephyr went deeper Into the workshop, surveying the multitude of weapons and equipment that were displayed on the walls.
As he entered further inside he eventually reached the place where the blacksmith was doing their work.
The person was... Female? She wore a hakama, and had an eye patch on her left eye. She was also very... Blessed.. in the chest department.
The woman promptly stopped her work and looked at the person who just entered her workshop.
"Ho? Is that a blue haired rookie I see?" The woman's voice was laced with a curious and teasing tone.
Zephyr tilted his head a bit because of her words.
But he quickly dismissed it as he unlatched his sword from his hip.
"I'm here to get this checked, and repaired if possible." Zephyr presented the sword to the woman.
"Ah, wait a minute. Let me just finish this thing I'm working on first, then I'll see what I can do for that sword of yours." The Woman continued her hammering as Zephyr promptly left her alone to survey the shop more thoroughly.

After exploring the shop and picking out equipment he liked he placed them on the counter.
The items were a simple set of daggers, he planned to use them for an interesting idea he had while he was recuperating from his Injuries.
There were 6 daggers in total, each costing 1,500,000 Valis, from what Zephyr could tell, they were decent. They could handle the pressure of his Aura well, if he had to guess it was High Level-2 Equipment.
"Oh, you've got a great eye kiddo." The Woman's voice suddenly sounded out as she examined a dagger before placing it back down.
Zephyr's eyes briefly landed on her massive bazookas that swayed for a bit before looking at her face again.
"Are you done with the thing you were working on?" He asked her and the Woman nodded.
Suddenly a smirk formed on the woman's face, "You like them?" She pointed at her breasts. Which made Zephyr's widen.
'She caught me looking at them? Impossible, I did it for merely a second!' He was baffled, he instantly deduced that this woman must be powerful if she could catch his discreet gazes.
"I'll let you in my bed if you become my pillow." She crossed her hands as she looked at Zephyr's eyes.
Seeing those teasing eyes Zephyr calmed down and declined. "I refuse, I can sense if someone has a killer hug, and my senses blared when you wanted me to become your pillow." He stated matter of factly, as if it was a normal thing.
The woman laughed as she saw how serious he was when he said those words.
"You're funny," She wiped a tear that formed on her eye. "But enough of that, let me check out that sword of yours."
Zephyr handed her the sword and she removed it from it's scabbard, the sword's black surface reflected a ray of light, the silver edges glowing with a discreet but deadly sharpness. But all that coolness was negated by the several cracks that spread across the blade.
The woman whispered as she saw the sword, "Holy crap, this sword is Level 4 Equipment, and a good one at that. Even Level 5 adventurer's would want this."
"If you've managed to damage this piece of marvel then that means the rumors are true." The woman returned her gaze to Zephyr.
"I'll be a good experience repairing this sword, return to this workshop in 4 days. In the mean time, these daggers would probably be a good substitute for you." She placed the sword back into it's scabbard as Zephyr payed for the Dagger.
Before Zephyr left he heard the woman day a few words.
"Oh, by the way. The names Tsubaki, Tsubaki Collbrand. Nice to meet you, Super Rookie of the Loki Familia." The woman waved her hand at the now gobsmacked Zephyr.
Tsubaki Collbrande, a level 5 adventurer and one of the best blacksmiths in the whole of Orario, her alias was [Cyclops].
But the most important detail out of all those impressive things was that she was the Captain of the Hephaestus Familia, the largest smithing familia in Orario.

A/N: Alright, before you guys say anything. Yes this chapter is not 3000 chapters, I apologize for that. But school suddenly shifted from carefree to serious again so we had a lot to do earlier.
I also got absorbed with playing F/GO earlier so that's my bad, I speedran the Arctic Summer event in one day with a fresh account so it was time consuming.
I'll make it up with a real 3000 word chapter next chapter 😅
