Ch 69: The Dwarves Gave a Gift to the Hero
“Sit properly.”
I said that to Karen, who was straddling the horse and looking at the Dwarf City.
Anyway, considering the carriage incident, it seemed that there was such a thing as etiquette among the dwarves, and even if Karen was an uninvited guest, carrying her like luggage might be against that etiquette.
“Ah… Alright.”
Karen said that with a surprised expression at my words and started sitting behind the horse.
Karen didn’t know how to ride a horse, but she could use flying magic, so it didn’t seem too difficult for her to change her posture on the horse.
I followed James’ guidance and drove the horse, and soon I could see the dwarf soldiers guarding the huge city.
“He brought the Hero. Tell the King.”
“Please wait a moment.”
James said that to the soldier, and soon one of the dwarves guarding the gate ran into the city with his short legs.
‘Even the gatekeeper’s weapon is not ordinary.’
I swallowed hard, looking at the dwarves’ double-edged axes shining in the sun.
There were many dwarf craftsmen who didn’t make weapons well and were reluctant to give them to others, but that was an exception for family.
Not all dwarves were blacksmiths, but the dwarves who had a city as their base were quite intricately connected by blood ties.
Thanks to that, it might not be difficult for dwarves working in the military to get weapons from distant relatives.
‘Thinking about it again, I’m getting angry?’
I felt a strange resentment as I thought that far.
Thinking about it, I was annoyed that the dwarves gave even low-ranking soldiers top-notch weapons, but didn’t give me, in the previous round, even a common long sword.
Flinch.
Perhaps sensing that my mood had changed, Karen, who was holding onto my waist, flinched.
‘Haa, this is really fucked up.’
I scratched my head with an annoyed expression.
It wasn’t like the dwarves were mistreating me like before right now, and it wasn’t like Karen was trying to cut off my body like before.
But despite that, my memories from the previous round made it impossible for me to see them in a good light, and I couldn’t control my feelings.
Just when I thought that I might go crazy before Karen did, the Dwarf King appeared.
“Is this the Hero?”
As soon as the King came out, he asked me that, and James nodded at the question.
“That’s right.”
I wasn’t particularly surprised to see James speaking informally to the King.
Because I knew very well that the Dwarf King was a position that older elders took turns doing.
Also, considering that James was in charge of the delegation, James was probably of a similar age to the King, and considering the habits of dwarves who only lived in one city, it was highly likely that the two were friends since childhood.
What was unexpected was Karen’s calm reaction even when seeing a situation that anyone would find strange, but after recalling the relationship between the King and her, I soon understood the reason.
“Where did you sell the carriage?”
“…That’s.”
At the King’s question, James frowned and looked at Karen.
I could see Karen trembling again at that gaze.
Considering her shameless appearance of smashing other people’s carriages and still being nonchalant, it could be said to be a remarkable development.
“Well, it doesn’t matter.”
“By the way, did you prepare what the Hero asked for?”
“Ah, of course.”
I looked at James and the King with sparkling eyes as they talked.
I didn’t know how James, who was moving with me, had conveyed the news to their city, but judging from the way things were going, it seemed like they had prepared the items I needed.
“Oh, it seems the Hero has high expectations too. Follow me. I’ll show you that first.”
The Dwarf King, reading my expression, said that to me, and we followed the King into the Dwarf Village.
Inside the village, which was made with a structure similar to a cave, there were houses carved into the walls and blacksmiths.
The short dwarves came out one by one to see me and Karen, and it seemed that we were a big spectacle for the dwarves who didn’t have much to see of outsiders.
And funnily enough, the dwarves’ attention was focused much more on Karen than on me, the Hero.
“What? I heard it was a human woman, but she’s really ugly.”
“Haha, humans are so pitiful. To be with a woman like that.”
“Surely, that human woman is unusual. Surely not all human women look like that?”
Due to the dwarves’ lack of tact, they were saying what they felt about Karen without any reservation.
Karen didn’t pay much attention to the dwarves’ words, but it seemed hard to endure when there were so many of them.
Karen hurriedly began to bury her face in my back, and I left her alone.
“Hehe, the Hero is pretty good? Should I seduce him?”
“He’s not good. He looks weak at first glance. He doesn’t have a manly taste.”
Of course, it wasn’t that the dwarves had no interest in me at all.
I could hear the short dwarf women with beards, who looked exactly like Juan, whispering while looking at me.
I wanted to curse at them, but since dwarves were originally such a race, getting angry would only be my loss.
“Karen, don’t worry about it. They’re originally like that.”
I could feel Karen’s hand twitch at my low voice.
I didn’t care what she was thinking, but anyway, I didn’t like the dwarves talking without knowing their place, so I just followed the King with a blank face.

“Hero, these are the things I’ve specially prepared for you.”
Entering a huge hall in the center of the Dwarf City, the King began to use soldiers to bring out splendid boxes.
There were three boxes in total.
Looking at the boxes decorated with all kinds of splendid jewels, I swept away the unpleasantness and swallowed my saliva.
I also had some desire for good weapons.
“Is it okay to open it?”
“Now, it’s yours, so do as you please.”
Looking at the King speaking generously, I immediately opened the leftmost box.
What I saw when I opened the lid of the box was a large silver ring.
‘It’s too big to be a ring…’
I looked at the Dwarf King with a puzzled expression, looking at the unknown ring.
It could be a bracelet, but it seemed too small to fit on my arm.
“What is this…”
“Ah. That. It’s very good.”
“…Good?”
“Yes. If you put that on your penis and do it, women will just faint.”
“……..”
I was speechless looking at the Dwarf King rattling off such things with a straight face.
Even Karen, who wasn’t surprised by most things, flinched.
Certainly, I thought it was a bit too much for a Dwarf joke, considering that he was old enough to be the King.
“You’re joking, right?”
“Huh? A joke? How good is that for a man? Ah, is it too big? Don’t worry. It’s made of Mithril and has magic on it, so it automatically adjusts to the user’s body.”
Only then did I realize that what the Dwarf King said was not a joke and looked at James.
James also seemed to have not expected the situation, and was just looking at me with a troubled expression.
‘Calm down, there are still two more left.’
I took a deep breath and started opening the remaining boxes again.
This time, a small egg-shaped silver sphere came out.
“…This is?”
“That’s a vibrator. If you put it in a woman, she’ll love it. Ah, it moves according to the user’s will, so you don’t have to worry about the woman using it alone.”
I felt my expression harden more and more at the Dwarf King’s words.
I knew they were originally such a race, but I never thought that they would put out something like this as a weapon even in this situation.
“The last box is…”
I opened the last remaining box and bit my lower lip tightly.
This time, I could tell what it was without having to listen to the Dwarf King’s explanation.
The end of the cylindrical material, which was made of a light brown color like the dwarves’ skin, was shaped exactly like a vagina that anyone could see.
“That’s our masterpiece. A pussyhole! With that alone, you can relieve your lust anywhere.”
I was properly pissed off looking at the Dwarf King speaking with a proud expression.
At that moment, I thought that I should wipe out all these perverted races, whether it was the Demon King’s army or whatever.
“Hey, you crazy bastard! Why did you prepare this? I told you to make me a weapon!”
James, the representative of the envoys who had come to the Empire, shouted at the King.
And at James’ curse, the King made a very unfair expression and answered like this.
“No, you told me to make it with killer items?”
“You crazy bastard! If it’s an item, it’s a weapon and armor!”
“B*llshit. Should I have said it properly in the first place? How would I have known? Would the Hero want something like that?”
Only then did I realize that the King and the dwarves were not doing this to make fun of me, and I was suppressing my murderous intent little by little.
‘Inner Peace!’
