Versatile: Alternate World

Due to my experience in the past timeline in fixing this thing and changing some parts to make it much stronger, the work was much faster than Almira expected.

"Damn, Bladeheart. I know you are passionate about blacksmithing but I didn't expect you to also be good at repairing and modifying these things. You increased their output twice than it should be! Are you perhaps the real creator of these trinkets?" Almira had a frown on her face as she looked at me with her scarlet red eyes.

"You are just imagining things. I just like to experiment in things and my imagination just allowed me to visualize things if we do this and that. Nothing special really, and do you really think I am that old enough to create these things, Master?"

"Yeah, you are right. Some of the people back in the days are a bit of an idiot for creating things that are quite useful only once before they break to pieces. Anyways, we sure finish much earlier than I anticipated, I didn't expect it was so fast and we even have done some modifications on the Sealer of Gods."

"It's due to the guidance of Mas-"

"Ah, shut it. Stop bootlicking on me, that won't work. It was clear you are already quite familiar with the thing after I teach you. So stop saying it was due to my influence it was done splendidly. That's your poorest attempt to compliment so stop it while it's still early or I will just be pissed."

"Hahaha," as always, she is annoyed by my compliments, and yes, although I already knew how to repair and modify the Sealer of Gods, she is partly the main reason why I can do that without a hitch. Without her guidance in the past timeline, I won't be able to do it so proficiently in this timeline either. So you can say that if not for her, the amount of time she expected us to finish repairing them would be the exact time we will finish repairing it too.

"Anyways, we should report it to the Elder so that we can go home much earlier. My shoulders are a bit sore pulling these strings. These artifacts are just too troublesome to repair and if not for the reason that I am only the capable blacksmith capable of fixing this damnable thing, I wouldn't even bother going out of my smithy."

"Well, you also needed to go outside once in a while. Just staying inside with the smell of metal and the forge is just going to give you bad health in the future."

"Yeah, yeah. I know. Anyways, let's get out of here before they start to demand we help them on something again. If possible, want to avoid getting new requests as soon as I am finished with one job as it will affect my overall mood."

I nodded and we went together to report the situation to the Elder. However, the village seems in an uproar on something. The crowd is riled up and is gathered at the center square.

"Is something going on?" I frowned and was actually curious about what is happening over that place.

"Nah, don't bother. It was not part of our job and getting curious about something is quite necessary if we want to avoid some trouble. Let's find the elder to finish the job and get back home."

Honestly, I agree with Almira on this one. It's not our job to gossip about the situation. The faster we are done with the job, the better. Despite being curious, I am also tired and I don't want to prolong my stay here as I also wanted to finish all of my duty as soon as possible.

We returned to the workshop where we saw the Elder for the first time but to our surprise, the place is empty and the work was left behind halfway done.

"The heck? Where are all the people in this place? Don't tell me they left behind their work just because of some sort of commotion? Gah, I am having a headache with this..."Almira starts to rub her temples.

"It looks like we have no choice but to check out the commotion in the center of the village. As much as we wanted to go home immediately, there is nothing we could do about it."

"Tch, dammit, let's go. Now I am more pissed than ever."

Without anyone we can ask where the Elder is, the only option we can do is find him in the area where the commotion is taking place.

...

...

When we arrived in the area where the commotion is happening, the workers we saw in the workshop were indeed hanging out in that area and seems to be watching something or someone. They are eager to see whatever they are trying to see.

"Master, I saw him, there he is!" I pointed out for Almira to see.

We treaded the crowd and went to meet the Elder. Due to that, I finally saw what they are having commotion for.

A group of 5 people elves are currently being surrounded by the elf folk onlookers. I took a closer look and I realized that I have no idea who they were at all. I tried to rack my brains in the hopes I can remember them but even with my eidetic memory, I don't think I even meet them before? Therefore, as much as I want to say I know them, I really have no idea who they were at all. I can only frown as to why they seemed to be famous when I can't even remember if they are in the past timeline at all.

The group is composed of one elf and 4 other girls of different races. I don't see a human though and for the first time ever, this is the first time I am seeing someone who seemed like a human hero with a harem of different races of girls with him. I was surprised since that rarely happens to other races and most of the time, only humans have mostly done that kind of thing from what I have seen even in the past timeline so far.

As for Almira, she headed straight to the Elder without even caring who the elf folk seems excited to meet about.

"Elder, the repairs are done for the day and we even modified some parts of it."

"Oh? The repairs of the Sealer of Gods are done? That's wonderful news! But I thought you will be done a bit much later?"

"We had a breakthrough and we also managed to properly understand the structure of the Sealer of Gods. It contributed a lot to our progress allowing us to finish much earlier than the expected duration."

"Well, that is good!"

"Yeah. And since we are done, we will be going home. The Sealer of Gods is all place in that same place you showed us. You guys are now free to install those things around if you wanted to do so."

"Ah! Please don't go home yet. We will be preparing some a feast later on. It would be great if you guys could join our festivities." the elder suggested.

"Festivities? I didn't know you would do some festivities too. I have never seen you guys do some kind of festival during this time so I hope you would enlighten me since I am quite sure there are nothing important festivities you are going to held at this time of the year or maybe I am already getting senile."

"Hahaha, don't worry. You are not going senile, we just had someone important to us who returned after their long journey. We will be celebrating their return right now."

"Ah, for someone. Then we will decline as that is not part of the contract and we are not obliged to do so. We will be going home and resting as we will have to also prepare for some things we needed and we have no time to spare on these trivial matters."

After that, the people who were being crowded by people earlier approached us. From the looks of it, they are going to meet the elder but the guy who was leading the group of girls decided to talk.

"Young lady, it's better for you to relax your body for a bit and keep your tense shoulders at ease. One nice drink with someone would help-" before he can even finish his monologue, Almira stopped him from talking.

"Stop. I am really pissed right now and you better not add fuel to the fire. I am not in the mood of your rumblings no matter who you are what status you have."

"Wha! How rude! Do you know who you are talking so informally into?!" the catgirl who seems to be a brawler angrily snarls at Almira who was not even fazed.

"Huh? Is he even someone I should care about?"

"Of course! He is the hero who just defeated the Demon Lord nearby the Elf Village! It's natural you should do so!"
