Freya looked down over Orario from the top of Babel Tower.
Since she spent half her day up there, she naturally handled meals and paperwork there too.
So,
"...I'm definitely a blacksmith, so why did I end up cooking?"
"Lady Freya is waiting. Hurry up."
"Shut up. If you hate it so much, you do it."
"..."
"Go mash some potatoes."
Three times a day,
I ended up cooking at Freya's command.
Being forced to prepare meals for Freya every day was a huge pain for someone like me who just wanted to make swords, but...
"Damn it! Why him...!"
"To that iron-smelling bastard...?"
There were plenty of jealous members in the Familia.
"...I want to quit."
"Do you really think the goddess would let you go?"
"..."
"Give up."
"Damn it..."
While we were chatting, a simple meal of sandwiches, mashed potatoes, and fruit juice was finished.
"How is it, my mashed potatoes?"
"...Better than before. Take it."
At first she made something fit for dog food, but now she could at least make something edible.
"Aren't you coming too?"
"I'm going to work."
"Work?"
"Blacksmith work."
"Then make me a greatsword."
"What happened to your Dragon Slayer?"
"If I swing that around in the city, it'll be a disaster."
"..."
"So, a greatsword, please."
A greatsword, huh...
"I can't make one."
"!? Why not?"
"Don't you remember what happened last time?"
"Last time?"
"When I was making weapons for the executives and my personal anvil got blown away."
Because of the materials involved, the anvil had broken while I was forging.
"I was going to borrow an anvil from Hephaistos Familia until my own arrived, but since all your weapons are made from high-grade materials, I can't make them in a borrowed forge."
"...I see."
"If you want a normal greatsword, there are some in storage. Use one of those."
"Those lack impact."
"If you want impact, use a club."
At Lv. 7, even swinging a plank would tear a person apart.
"We're not fighting Loki Familia, so just swing a club around for three days."
"..."
"Don't tell me you're actually going to fight?"
"We're fighting in two days."
"...Why?"
"A low-ranking member of Loki Familia insulted the goddess."
"That's insane."
"So I applied for a War Game."
"That's insane."
Honestly, every one of them was crazy.
