Please do the complete sentence, since my monkey brain is too dumb to understand, how it would fit in a sentence!

 

“Come with me.”

 

They followed the man as he walked with a broad stride, and soon reached the backyard.

 

The area was quite large, and there were dolls for test cutting.
It was probably a place where they would check the finish of their creations.

 

“It won't be a problem if you get a little rough in here.
Take whatever weapon you like.”

 

At the edge of the backyard was a shelf with a number of wooden weapons placed in a messy state.

 

“I'll take this then.”

 

After a quick look around, Caro picked up two wooden dagger-sized swords.

 

“Well, I guess I'm going to have to go with that one then.”

 

The man chose a hammer-type weapon as he seemed accustomed to using it.
He lifted the large weapon with ease and glared at Caro as he placed the handle on his shoulder.

“When you're ready, just stand there.”

 

He pointed to the center of the square with his chin.

 

“I'm sorry about my husband, …….
He's really stubborn.
……
But you understood and provoked him, didn't you?”

 

The clerk, who looked apologetic but convinced that she was some distance away from Caro and the others, asked Ataru.

 

“You knew huh? Well, I said it deliberately and bluntly.”


 

“So, you're still confident? Hmm, you seem like a pretty wicked guy.”

 

The female clerk smiled at Ataru's admission without a hint of malice.
She knew in her gut that this fight was just a man's stubbornness and that the store would only suffer damage.

 

“……
looks like it's about to start.”

 

“Yes…….”

 

The usual cheerfulness had faded, and Caro's eyes were filled with a silent fighting spirit.
The man she was facing was still assessing her strength and was ready to take the fight to him in an instant.

While Ataru and the clerk were focused their attention onto the fight.
The match between Caro and the man began.

 

“Let the match begin, then!”

 

“Let's go!”

 

As the man declared this in a loud voice, Caro, holding her daggers at the ready, quickly stepped forward and began to run.

 

“Come on!”

 

As if anticipating this, the man swung his hammer and swung down with all his might at Caro, who was coming at him with great speed.
The speed was so fast that it was hard to believe he was using a huge hammer.

 

But by the time the hammer was fully down, Caro had already moved around to the side.

 

“It's not gonna happen.”

 

By the time he said it, Caro had completed her attack and was holding the knife to his neck.
He hadn't expected his attack to be so slow, but he had made a momentary mistake.
(G: a link to our site so bots remove this sentence when they steal our translations)

 

“Oh, my God.”

 

The match was over in an instant.
The man was stunned by what had happened so quickly, but he raised the white flag.

 

“……
That girl is strong.”

 

The female clerk, who was holding her slightly open mouth with her hand, was also taken aback.
She had thought that Caro's small body was indeed quick, but she moved much faster than that.

“I guess we've won now.
I'll have you make me a dismantling knife as promised.”

 

Ataru grinned and called out to the man who was groaning.
However, the man did not look up, but was shaking his body in some way.

 

“……”

 

“What?”

 

Ataru listens to the man, who is still looking down, muttering something back.

 

“Shut up! I wasn't defeated by you; I was defeated by this little girl! And you can't just stand there and say that!”

 

The moment he found himself looking up with a stern look on his face, Ataru's mouth dropped open in surprise at the man who had suddenly turned on him.

 

“What the heck is that a ……
dismantling knife? You can buy those around here.
I don't need to go to the trouble of making one.
……”

 

The man was at a loss for words when he said that much, his face contorted in frustration as if he was complaining.

 

It was because the clerk hit him on the head as hard as she could with a buzzing sound.
The sound echoed pleasantly around him, and both Caro and Ataru were taken aback by her seemingly calm transformation.

 

“You lost; you should admit it! Besides, you can tell by looking at him that he's stronger than her!”

 

In fact, she was a former adventurer herself, and she had already perceived Ataru's strength from the moment she saw him.
That's why she couldn't understand the man's attitude that kept nagging at them.

“Ugh, I get it.
I get it, I get it, I get it now that you've said it.
But you know, ……, it's really frustrating to lose, isn't it?”

 

The clerk again struck a blow to the man who was still complaining.

 

“Don't you dare complain about it! You made a bet on your own, and you lost, so you better stick to what you said! Now, come on, get to work!”

 

“Okay, okay.”

The man hurriedly made his way to the workshop.

 

The clerk turned around and smiled when she saw them.

 

“My name is Rose, and I'm the receptionist and that guy's assistant.
That guy is Lada, a dwarf craftsman.
He's my husband,……, but he gets heated easily and has a strange sense of pride that's a problem.” (G: a link to our site so bots remove this sentence when they steal our translations)

 

Rose was a human being, about 160cm tall, and looked like a beautiful* woman with a refreshing smile.
(G: I wanted to change it to mature, but I’ll keep it like this.
Also 160 Cm is 5ft 2.9In)

 

“I'm sure you're wondering why I'm a human being and he's a dwarf, right? Well, we're friends from when we were in the same party.”

 

Ataru and the others didn't hear anything, but Rose kept talking.

 

“Yes, even if I lost the match, don't worry, the product I make will be fine.
That seems to be his biggest concern, and he believes that if he accepts a job, he will make it right.” (G: 「そうそう、勝負に負けたからって作るものはちゃんとしてるから安心して下さい。そればっかりは一番の拘りらしく、仕事を引き受けたからにはちゃんとしたものを作り上げるという信念があるんです」 )

 

As he continued to reminisce, it was a guarantee of Lada's skill, and Ataru's concerns were being addressed.

 

“If you want another weapon, we can discuss it with you.
Oh, but you seem to be satisfied with your current equipment for the time being, please come back when you are no longer satisfied.
I may be that kind of guy, but I'm a skilled blacksmith.” (G: a link to our site so bots remove this sentence when they steal our translations)

 

They were completely stunned by Rose, who spoke one after another without giving Ataru and the others a chance to interrupt her.

 

“Did I talk too much, by any chance? It's a habit of mine, when I get a good job, I become very talkative.”

 

She smiled happily and seemed to think Ataru's request was a good job.

 

“I mean, who wouldn't? To me, the two of you look like promising young people who will continue to grow.
If that's the case, you'll probably need new weapons in the future to fulfill your requests, and those weapons should be appropriate to your abilities.
Then, of course, the price will be worth a lot …….” (G: a link to our site so bots remove this sentence when they steal our translations)

 

Rose's expression changed as her cheeks relaxed and her true feelings came out at the end.

 

“And, well, it's motivating for him, and it's nice to have a connection with an influential people.”

 

Rose finally took a breath when she finished saying all this with a raised index finger.

 

“……
It's kind of amazing.
I'm just overwhelmed.”

 

“I was surprised by …….
At first I thought you would be more relaxed.”

 

They were simply overwhelmed by Rose's strong and talkative personality and good sense, which turned their initial impression of her upside down.

 

“I'm sorry, …….
It's going to take a while to get it done, so would it be okay if you came by again tomorrow?”

 

Blacksmithing took a long time, and it was doubtful that it could be done in one night to Lada's satisfaction.
However, Rose was so sure of what she was doing that she dared to set the deadline for tomorrow.
(G: a link to our site so bots remove this sentence when they steal our translations)

 

“Oh, I'm rather surprised you can do it that fast.”

 

Ataru said this, thinking that people are not always what they appear to be, and wrote down his name and lodgings just in case, handed them to Rose, and left the store with Caro.
