Trapped in a gacha game, I will steal all the heroines.

Chapter 21 Reward

?"Han?"

"Han? What? Get out of here."

Upon looking at that, I realized she saw me just like any other person.

' That was why the entity didn't say anything when I met her ' I thought, looking at Scylla staring at me intently and judging while pointing towards the door.

"I need to clean the forge, so disappear because I'm tired and want to sleep."

"Alright, but before that, I want to make a request."

Scylla extended her hand.

"Go ahead. What's your current idea?"

With the divine hand already activated, I took a step forward, appearing beside Scylla and touching the center of her chest with my index finger, and spoke.

"I don't want something from you, I want you, Scylla. Be my blacksmith."

Scylla squeezed my finger, looking at me. Her eyes made me feel like I was in the middle of the ocean. If I didn't hurry and resurface, I would drown.

"Why should I?"

"Understood, we'll see each other later then."

"I await your return, dear customer."

' What a bitch. She knows I wouldn't give any of the failures to another blacksmith... I'll have to use plan B  ' I thought, opening the forge's door. A few meters from the door were Freytan, accompanied by Amanda and Jack Hamut.

"Looks like you couldn't win her over. What a shame," Freytan said with a huge smile on her face.

"To win over? What should the master win over?" Amanda said, visibly confused.

"Sorry for Scylla's temperament. Even I, as the owner of this place, can't handle that woman," Jack Hamut said, thinking that Scylla had caused some trouble.

"What the hell are you talking about? Don't you see the gauntlets in my hands?"

The three quickly looked and realized the strange thing was that they hadn't seen something so eye-catching.

"Indeed, that girl has an unprecedented talent and an impeccable piece," Freytan yawned. "Finally, we can leave."

Amanda didn't say anything, she just watched her grandfather with a smile as he examined every detail of the gauntlet.

"Can I see what's inside?" jack asked.

"Of course, why not? But before that, Amanda, could you get me a bag? I need to store this book, it contains something important."

"Sure, master. Just wait a second."

Amanda quickly picked up the book, passed by my side, and ran off to get a bag.

"You didn't have to... Ah, never mind."

I removed one of the gauntlets and handed it to Jack Hamut, who rushed to sit on the couch, examining every detail on the gauntlet.

"He looks like a child in this state," I said.

Freytan touched my shoulder.

"So, are we leaving today?"

"Why the rush, woman? Are you running away from something?"

"No, I just don't want to sleep in the inn anymore. The innkeeper scolded me for the excessive noise."

"Wait, what?"

"Don't ask me, I didn't understand either, but it seems it was the people staying next to our room."

"So, even in this world, there are annoying people. It's not our fault if the walls are thin. Anyway, let's go."

As I heard Amanda's footsteps approaching, I went to Jack Hamut and touched his shoulder.

"So, could we talk about something important?"

Upon hearing that, Jack Hamut's happy expression disappeared and was replaced by one that resembled that of a killer.

Sighing, I understood the reason. I really shouldn't have done that to his granddaughter.

"We don't need to say anything, Mr. Dantalian. I allow my granddaughter to go with you."I think you should take a look at

At that moment, both Freytan and I, who had been silently observing, were completely puzzled. Numerous question marks appeared in our minds.

"What's wrong? Wasn't that what you were going to ask me? Hahaha, I know young people, and my granddaughter has never been happier. Besides, if it weren't for her illness, she would have gone on her own adventure a long time ago."

While Jack Hamut smiled and lightly slapped my back, holding my hand.

' Wait, what about the reward? How can I bring that up now? It seems like he doesn't know what I did to his granddaughter... Ah, darn it. ' I thought, putting my hand in front of my face and screaming internally. Now I'll have to think of another way to complete that mission in the future, without Jack Hamut's letter of recommendation.

"Hahahahah, are you so happy that you don't know how to react? That's great, kid, you are."

Jack Hamut watched his granddaughter descending the stairs and soon distanced himself from us, heading to the forge to continue producing weapons and equipment orders for his clients.

"Well, as long as I'm with his granddaughter, I should be able to get the letter when I need it."

I smiled at Jack Hamut, not saying a word, because if I said anything, I might end up saying something foolish.

In the background, I could hear Scylla talking to Jack Hamut about the gauntlet.

"Why the long face? Feeling sick?"

Freytan let out a short laugh.

"So, master, is this bag good enough?"

Amanda spoke, descending the last step of the stairs, carrying a large brown bag that seemed to have been recently purchased, big enough to fit not only Volume Ten but the entire collection.

Inhaling and exhaling, I released the tension from my body, and gradually, the frustration would dissipate, trying my best to conceal it from Amanda, as Freytan had already noticed.

"Yes, it's perfect. Well done, Amanda."

Upon hearing that, Amanda placed the book inside the bag and ran over to me, extending her arm.

"Shall we go now, master?"

"So, you have your answer?"

"Yes, my grandfather understood, and he told me to follow my heart."

"If you say so, then let's go. We have a long journey ahead."

Freytan got up from the chair she had been sitting in.

"Oh, I don't want to walk the whole way. Can't we rent a carriage?"

While I was contemplating the possibility, Amanda placed her hand on her brown leather shorts, taking out a wooden sign with a sequence of numbers. In that very moment, Freytan's eyes sparkled.

"Amanda, my sweet girl, why didn't you tell me earlier that you had a carriage with trained horses?"

"Wait... Could this be Jack Hamut's carriage?" As I pondered on that, it finally dawned on me. So, in the end, the reward was indeed altered. I gained his granddaughter and his carriage instead of the letter of recommendation.

"I can't complain. The letter would have been useful in the future," I murmured. Fortunately, neither of them noticed, as both had disappeared.

"Freytan has become too arrogant. I need to address this."

I spoke as I left the Blacksmith's shop since it was already late, and none of the crazies would be around to disturb, although there were still four guys sleeping on the street.

"Why am I doing this?"

As I questioned myself, I heard the sound of trotting horses. Coming to a stop in front of the Blacksmith's shop, Amanda was at the reins, and Freytan was inside the carriage, sprawled across the left seats.

"Shall we, master?"

"I'm coming."

I climbed into the carriage, opening the bag. From inside the book, I took out the page showing the city where I would assume command of the guild.

"Alastray, the master got lucky. It's a very beautiful city."

"So, you're familiar with it?"

"Of course. I used to go there a lot as a child, and from what I've heard, it's better than ever."

"I heard that the adventurers there are strong, much better than the ones you had before," Freytan spoke from inside the carriage.

After this brief conversation, I entered the carriage, and Amanda headed towards Alastray.

The journey lasted three days and four nights, arriving in Alastray at dawn.
