After all, he had already paid, so there was no reason for me to be that petty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, Rondo was able to create a piece of alloy that was even better than the one that I had made during the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This really was the skills of the dwarves, they really were devoted to forging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If possible, I wouldn't want another forging competition with them since I was certain that I would lose once they learned my techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My knowledge was the only thing that would give me an advantage and they were sponges ready to soak up that knowledge from me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I made a silent vow that I wouldn't challenge another dwarf to another forging competition in my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the future…who knew I would break that vow?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in the present, we were still inside of the forge when Haley came to find us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had finally had her fill of the piece of mithril and made sure to store it safely before coming to look for us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that we were still in the forge, she called out, \"What are you guys still doing? It's already getting dark outside, why are you still here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Rondo and I were surprised when we heard this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When we looked out the window, we found that it was indeed already dark outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We had completely lost ourselves in what we had been doing that we didn't even notice all of this time passing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rondo had been lost in the new techniques that he had learned while I had been lost in learning forging from Rondo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was hard for me to give him proper guidance without knowing the basics of forging, so he had been teaching me things while I had been giving him advice. I could already be considered a basic blacksmith with how much I had learned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bruno had been looking on with envy since I was receiving a personal blacksmithing lesson from a dwarf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he did try to gain as much knowledge for himself as he could.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this lesson, Bruno would go on to cement his position as the best blacksmith in town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since it was already getting dark, there was no need for us to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the lord, I took this chance to invite Rondo to a meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rondo was also feeling a bit hungry, so he decided to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it was only because it was me that he accepted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it was anyone else, he would have rejected their invitation since it was hard for a dwarf to get along with humans in the first place. There wouldn't be anything to talk about since they were from two different cultures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With me, he could at least ask a few questions about forging while we ate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley also decided to tag along because…she had some business with the two of us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn't bring Rondo back to our manor and instead went to one of the bars in town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a dwarf, he was someone that naturally loved to drink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So bringing a dwarf to my manor where it would be a formal meal would be a bad idea. It would be better to bring him to one of the local inns and drink him under the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That way, I would be able to get as much information as I could out of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it was no easy feat to drink a dwarf under the table, but I had a few tricks up my sleeves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tricks that I had learned from my college drinking parties really came in handy here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How to pretend to drink and how to keep yourself sober, those were all skills one needed in college. That was the way to properly network.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While everyone was drunk, it would be easy to learn things…things that could be very useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bar was a bar that Haley recommended, which I immediately took since I trusted her judgement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Haley ran the most successful business in town for a reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was someone that was very skilled at building relationships and knowing which restaurants were the best was one of the skills that she needed for this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, people were most vulnerable when they were eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, it was easier to get an advantage when they were drunk…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So she would need to know good places for these negotiations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When we arrived at the bar, we found that it was already filled with people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, we were able to get a table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were others waiting, but when they saw that it was me, Haley, and Rondo, they immediately let us cut in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt awkward about this, but I still accepted in the end since there was business I needed to discuss with Rondo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as we were sitting down, Rondo couldn't help saying, \"You're quite strange for a human lord. You actually thanked them for giving you their seat when most human lords would have just ordered them to leave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn't help being surprised hearing this and I turned to look at Haley who also gave me a strange look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is true, in this kind of society, it was normal for lords to act this way since there was the idea that nobles were above all. This was a kingdom that had a noble based society that gave nobles the rights to do what they wanted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I just said, \"I was a commoner in the first place, so things like this are strange for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rondo narrowed his eyes to look at me before giving a nod and saying, \"Oh, whatever. Your human culture really is too strange for me to understand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I just revealed a bitter smile before ordering some food for us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It took no time at all for this food to arrive.\u003C\u002Fp>",1023,"2026-06-03T08:25:27.812Z","2026-06-03T08:25:33.750Z",1,"novelbin.me","4859895f8915a545c9bba0916fe1ede264866de215aaab345fa13f3a127df0b8","shota-s-isekai-ntr-adventure-chapter-316","shota-s-isekai-ntr-adventure-chapter-314",2237,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshota-s-isekai-ntr-adventure-cover.jpg"]
