the flame & iron wielding dwarves

"Mrs. Hero! Would you kindly come here? I wish to speak with you." shit is it about his knocked out son? I could feel my heart pounding excessively the more I walked towards the king. Until I got to the king that's when my heart started to race as if it was a racing car engine causing my legs to wobble as if it was to propped up noodles. "My, my hero, you really are astonishing, I'd like to speak with you, if you may."

This is not what I was expecting in the slightest. But still I have to keep my guard up, I don't know if this will turn out like those isekai where I'll get betrayed over something petty. "Please come, hero. I wish to show you something of mine."

With my less earthquake bound legs, I followed the king as he rolled with his wheelchair. With each second tenshin builds up. "I have to say hero, your duel was astonishing, your swordsmanship was beautiful, it was like you were dancing with the wooden sword. Tell me how you came up with such swordsmanship like that, how did your master teach you. I wish to know until my old age catches up to me" his eyes sparkled as if he was a kid fist time in an amusement park. His actions were the complete opposite of what I imagined the king would be. "So you don't want to speak about it? That's fine but you have my gratitude you allowed me to forget for a little while about this situation. I've been meaning to apologize for summoning you in this affair, especially someone so young." 

"My brother was the one who taught me how to fight and the techniques were also my brothers" "Your brother is an amazing meteor if so, I really want to ask how he taught you but we're here. At the Royal Forge." Royal… Forge? Right in front of me was a wooden door. It looked old but not withered and destroyed, just old. From that door all I could hear was metal clanging against each other with a rhythm, the rhythm was on par with my bounding heart. I was excited to see the people who are capable of making the best swords in this world!

"My old friends, I have returned!" With just a couple of powerful knocks from the king the door opens up showing men and women ready to greet him. And yet again the room I entered looked just like the door, old but yet polished. It wasn't shameful looking but oddly fitting but the workers was another thing. You'd expect there to be only men being blacksmith but here it was filled with men and women working to their bones and among them there are some that are short. Yet they all looked similar to each other with their long heavy beard, brash looking eyebrows, orange and curly hair that seemed like raging flames that came from their fornest . It all was so very complemented with their bouldering build and dark brown skin, it looked like they were all made of purely muscles and no fat. Yet they all looked kind, you'd think they have a rough look with immense concentration but they looked happy, they were having fun working here.

"Hello old friend!! How have you been!" "I've haven't been doing great lately as you can see." "hmmm… I'm so sorry we couldn't be there to help." "no it's alright we had an agreement, I cant involve endangering any of you."

"Dwarves" was the first word I thought of when I saw them. "Ooh who's this little lady" even though he wasn't short he still looked like the other dwarfs. "It seems like the hero's world also has dwarves." "So you had to use the ancient ritual?" "I'm sorry but I didn't come here to have fun like the old day's but ask a favor" "alright, your business is your business after all. So tell me what type of favor is it." "build the hero the best armor and sword you can offer." armor and swords from dwarves, FROM DWARVES!! "What a hard task you're asking but if it's for a friend we can do it right fellas!!" with just one word I could feel the closeness of all of them. "YEA!" the yell from every single one of them felt as if it shooked the entire castle. "Aurora!!" with that one strong yell came a person, she was taller than the rest of the short people but still looked small. She looked young but not to the point you could see her as a child because of her stature."What's the matter dad!?" "Aurora, it's time to work so quit lazing around and go make her some equipment!" "for who!?" "for her, the kingdom's hero of course!" "Come along hero, let me measure your size." 

"So tell me hero what's your name?" Jesus fucking Christ how many times is she going to check the measuring of my chest! She's just taking out my breath with that gorilla strength! "Shiroi, my name is Shiroi!" "shiroi, huh… well sorry to say Shiroi but your… ahem… chest is small." no shit miss kong "well yeah of course how do you expect me to fight effectively otherwise." "... makes sense, you are the hero after all." finally we moved on from the chest. "So Shiroi, were both women tell me what's your preference?" preference I never really thought of that. No, in fact I never really thought of romance with others. hmmm… well I do have waifus and husbandos, I guess both. "I like both I guess?" "what do you mean both?" "Well you know, I like both genders." "both genders, that's a first. So how does that work?" "... I don't know, I just simply like them both." "Well, uuh tell me the type of armor you'd want?" She changed the topic to armor. I guess she did finish measuring me. "One that allows me to move flexibly and quickly but yet still be full body armor." I really hope she knows what I'm talking about. "Hmm… that means. Well whatever, so what type of sword do you want?" sword, I guess a long sword? Or maybe geom… Na let's go with a katana, just think about welding a katana with fantasy knight armor is just badass!! "A one sided edge sword with a curved end and a disk guard and a handle rapt with cloth" "... are you talking about Daito?" Daito? Is that what they call a katana? "Yea, that, pulse can you make them white just like Henry's please!" "Well you don't have to ask me twice, miss love." huh?

"Okay now get out! It's time to design and make my first masterpiece in a decade. For I am the greatest blacksmith of my generation!!" That actually makes me more excited to see the equipment! "Sho, sho I dont what you here" 

"Hay Shiroi." "hi Henry, it seems you'll be my guid from now on" "yea father is busy setting up some stuff for your adventure, but first he wishes me to send you to the magic training room." magic… Training… Room…?  I GET TO LEARN MAGIC, FINALLY!! "You seem excited" "damn right I am, Henry let's go now I really want see the training facility" "okay, okay I'll lead you there"

"Come on catch up Henry before I get there!!" "Shiroi wait up before we miss the training facility!" 

With one firm grip Henry was one of the only people who could ever catch up to me. Startled by the fact he grabbed me I didn't notice that we got to the facility."fuck you run like Sleipnir, let me catch my breath" "yea, I'm sorry Henry" "yea, yea your fine just remember I human too, but any way were here" as he open the door to the training room It all looked so different instead of everything looking like a coliseum it actually looked like a proper training facility with metal walls and dolls to train with. "Oh, your majesty you've finally come to train?" "well no-" "yes, yes he came here to train" well I'm for sure not going to train by myself "what are you doing Shiroi!" "well I'm not going to train in magic, I don't know by myself!" heh your not leaving me with a bunch of strangers!

"... what do you mean you don't know magic, I'm certain that you do, right?" "No, I really don't know magic" what is he talking about??

"That's not right at all, I'm certain that you do." what the fuck is he talking about, magic doesn't exist were I come from.
