An Early Investment
Finn smiled and said to Tiona.
"Yes, Commander!"
Tiona was as excited as if she had been injected with adrenaline, and the speed at which she stood up almost caused her magnificent breasts to slip out of their covers due to gravity.
"I also want to exchange some of the old weapons in the Familia's warehouse for supplies. Who can handle that?"
"Then leave it to me! I was just about to go to the 'Gobnu Familia' anyway."
William raised his hand and said.
"Alright, then I'll leave this matter to you and Ais!"
After saying that, Finn winked at William.

They walked through the bustling Adventurer's Street and then into the intricate alleyways. What should have been a solo trip for William and Ais turned into a little tail trailing behind them!
Saying she was dangling her tail isn't quite accurate! Tiona, walking in front, seemed more like she was leading them forward.
"Hurry, hurry!"
"I say, Tiona, are you really saddened by the destruction of the first 'Urga'?"
William, who was trailing behind Tiona, said with a headache that Tiona had been buzzing in his ear like a sparrow all the way.
They were all telling stories of ancient heroes. Although he had studied these things because he wanted to research history, he wasn't really interested in heroes.
However, Tiona insisted on seeing him as a figure like an ancient hero, and her obsession was a little annoying to him.
What is a hero?
That's someone who would risk their life and burn their entire being for someone they have no connection with, someone with great love.
Of course, he personally doesn't dislike this kind of person; in fact, he maintains a respectful attitude towards them.
To call him a hero would be utterly ridiculous; expecting him to risk his life for strangers is utter nonsense.
He's the kind of person who, as long as his own family is safe, doesn't care if everyone else dies.
"I'm so sad! But there's nothing I can do!"
Out with the old, in with the new.
Tiona placed her hand on the doorknob of the iron gate, twisted it forcefully, and pulled it back.
"I'm here again!"
"What?! Head! The Great Severance is happening again!"
One of the blacksmiths shouted in terror to the Familia leader inside.
"I told you, don't call me by that title, just call me by my name!"
Tiona immediately roared at the blacksmith. She hated her title of "Great Severance" and usually didn't allow her Familia members to call her that.
"What are you doing here again? Didn't you just come here a while ago?!"
The Familia leader, Os, held the hammer with a slight tremor in his hand, as if afraid that Tiona might suddenly tell him some news she didn't want to know.
"Oops! Sorry, it melted!"
In response to Os's question, Tiona rested her left cheek on one hand and stuck out her tongue slightly in a cute manner.
"Nani? N"
Tiona's cute antics were undeniably adorable, but the blacksmiths had no time to appreciate the scenery, as their screams had begun to play on a loop.
"How pitiful!"
However, William could understand why these eight-foot-tall, burly men would weep so bitterly over forging a weapon.
It is said that "Urga" is a super-heavy weapon made entirely of the ultra-hard metal "Adamantite". This metal is difficult to melt, and blacksmiths need to forge the weapon in a very short time when using this metal.
But a weapon as large as "Urga" cannot be handled by just one blacksmith. It would require at least five blacksmiths skilled in "forging" to swing their hammers tirelessly for five days straight.
"Tiona, Ais and I will go in first!"
After saying a word to Tiona, who was still arguing with the blacksmiths, William pulled Ais into the inner room, where they saw the robust Old God again.
"You've arrived!" said "Swift Thunder" and "Sword Princess".
"Greetings, Lord Gobnu. From now on, please call me William!"
William shook his head and said in a somewhat distressed tone.
"What's wrong? Don't you like the title 'Swift Thunder'?"
The Old God spoke with a hint of amusement, gently stroking his long, smooth white beard.
"Please stop talking, I've already given up on Loki!"
He had been hoping Loki would give him impressive titles like "Sword Princess" for Ais, "Hero" for Finn, or "Nine Hell Princess" for Riveria, so he readily agreed and gave away two bottles of Soma Sake.
The result was this unremarkable title; if I had known, he wouldn't have even promised a bottle of divine wine.
In his eyes, this title was only slightly better than the shameful titles bestowed upon the gods.
"Alright! So, what's the purpose of your visit today?"
"One reason is to accompany Ais to have her 'Despair Sword' repaired, and the other is to show you my gun and thank you for your meticulously crafted magic Workshop."
"I see! Then, 'Sword Princess,' let me see your sword!"
The Old God stretched out his hand. Although he also wanted to see William's gun first, after a brief moment of thought, he decided to save what he was looking forward to for last.
After receiving Ais's weapon, the Old God drew the sword from its sheath and examined it carefully.
The more closely he observed, the deeper the Old God's brows furrowed, until finally he let out a helpless sigh.
