Chương 279: Sally - The Salamander

The moment Aria walked into Reina's shop, a pair of googly eyes were staring at her from the counter. Its pupil pinched between numerous eyelids, a salamander was glaring at her with its uncoordinated eyes. At first, she didn't think much of it and instead turned her attention to Reina cooking some metal with her bare, muscular back turned towards her. A coat of sweat covered her entire body, and her hair dripped sweat every second like clockwork. 

Only wearing a pair of shorts with her shirt tied around her waist, the blacksmith turned around the burning hunk of iron stabbed with a spiked bar. For a second her eyes met Aria's but she quickly turned her attention back to the metal and only ever looked back once it was comfortably rested on an anvil. 

"What?" She demanded while picking up the hammer on the side.
