I put the sword in the inventory in a folder called “In Use” and now I stand

in the middle of the village main road and ponder what I could do.

-Dad said I should play and gave me some copper coins.

So is there a small shop in this village? Let´s ask for directions.-

I spotted an old woman and walked to her.

“Excuse me miss?”Me

“Oh hi there young miss, you must be the foster daughter of the Schmiedehand couple.”Old woman

“Yes I am, how do you know?”I asked

“This is a small village information's travel fast especially when they are about such a cute little girl.”Old woman

“Hehe, thank´s mam. “ I said

“So what do you want from me,” The old woman asked.

“Oh right, I want to ask if there is a shop here in this village.”Me

“Hm there is one but it is not really popular, we mostly don´t need it. It´s down the road and the last house to the right. The owner is called Mortimer.” The old woman said while pointing to the left, down a road.

“Thank´s mam, have a nice day,”I said and run in the pointed direction.

-last house to the right, this one must be it, does not look like a shop.-

In front of me was a small house without a typical store window. Just a normal window and a door.

-Well, let´s knock-

Knock Knock Knock....

-Nothing is it closed?-

I tried to open the door and it swung open.

While I walked in I said.

“Hello? Is this the village shop?”

The interior was full. Many preserving jars stood on shelves. There were brooms, spades, hammer and

rakes, as well as some clothes and tableware, pots, pans, and trowels.

Some noises rumbled behind a counter and out of a door came an old man.

“Hoho, customers? I seldom have customers, you are the little miss from the Schmiedehands aren't ya?

“Mortimer?

“Yes, my name is Clair it is a pleasure to meet you,”I said politely.

“Oh such fine manners, my name is Mortimer and owner of this little shop. What can I do for you?” Mortimer

“Do you have sweets? Or other sweet things?”I asked

“Hm, sweets? No sorry, but I have canned cherries.”Mortimer

“How much would they cost?”I asked

“Hmm well let´s say because you look as sweet as these cherry’s 15 copper.”Mortimer

“Really? Ok, here the 15 copper.” I gave him the copper coins and he gave me a bottle full of cherry’s in a liquid.

“It was a pleasure to make business with you,” Mortimer said smiling.

“The pleasure was on my side, but I have to go, I want to meet Kyle do you know where he could be?”I said.

“Kyle he should guard one of the village entrances,”Mortimer answered.

“Thanks, bye and see you soon,” I said while I was on my way out.

“You to”Mortimer shouted behind me.

I ran to a village entrance and there were two guards. But I could not see Kyle.

“Hello, is Kyle here?”I asked one of them.

“No Kyle is at the other entrance.”The guard replied.

“Thanks,” I said and ran in the opposite direction.

After a minute of childlike running, I reached the other entrance and there also was Kyle next to a woman in a guard uniform.

-So woman are allowed to take jobs that were in my world mostly for man, good.-

“Hi Kyle” I shouted while I ran and waved to him.

Both turned to me.

“Oh hi, Clair what do you want? Are the Schmiedehands nice people?”Kyle asked.

“Yes they are, they are really nice. I have a question, Kyle.” I said while looking with puppy eyes up to him. And he blushed while the woman began to giggle whereupon Kyle blushed more.

- Hoh, so he´s interested in this woman?-

“If I can help I will ,”Kyle said boastfully.

“Can you train me with the sword?” I asked.

“With the sword why?”He asked.

“Because I want to be an adventurer and I think a mage should be good in magic and with the sword,”I answered him truthfully.

“A mage so you have a magic aptitude?” The woman asked.

“I´ll show you if you go on a date with Kyle, “I said provokingly

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

“A d...d Date?”Kyle stuttered.

“Hm, okay, show me then, “The woman said while smiling.

-There you go Kyle, now one more thing and everything else is up to you-

“I can do pretty much everything, what do you want to see nee-san?”I asked

“Everything? So so, hm make a breeze for me it is pretty hot here. “She said while smiling.

- So you think I am some noob? I´ll show you-

“Okay, but this alone is not enough... I got it I´ll make something for you and Kyle, please give me both one your left hand. “I said with a brilliant smile.

“Hoh something for us? Here you go.”She said and gave me her hand while Kyle did the same still with a red face.

I took their hand and looked at the ring finger.

Ok now for the breeze...

A small breeze waved over them and they both looked astonished, but I was not finished.

I imagined a ring on their ring finger, but not any sort of ring, it was a Gold ring, with an engraving of them both dancing.

-And it worked I am able to create things out of nothingness... but it takes a lot of mana, 100.000 for both of these tiny rings.-

They haven´t noticed their ring so I said.

“Now look at your left hand, that’s a present.”

“Huh? From where comes this ring?”The woman asked.

“I conjured it, look closer there is an engraving on top of it, I don´t know your name nee-san so I could not make initials,” I said

“That are we both dancing!”Kyle nearly shouted while the woman just stood there.

“How did you do that?”She asked.

“It´s easy for me, I just have to imagine something and put my mana into it, I don´t need invocations,” I said proudly.

“Whoa, Clair my name is Catrin. And Kyle will you help her with sword training?”She said while looking to Kyle.

“Ähm sure I will, thanks, Clair,” Kyle said while whispering the last part.

“Thank you, then when should I come? And please give me the rings for a moment.”I asked.

They did and I made their initials on the inside, with a heart symbol.

“You sure a genius Clair,”Catrin said.

“Hm, let´s say after school I´ll pick you up,”Kyle said

“Okay then see you and have fun at your date.”I ran away while waving.

-Now I have nothing to do for today except for eating some cherry’s.-

So I walked home and ate some cherry´s until mom came into the kitchen.

“Where do you got these cherry´s sweety? “She asked

“Dad gave me 20 copper after my forge lesson and I brought them by Mortimer,”I answered.

“Can I have one?”  , I gave her a few, “And how is your first self-forged sword? “She asked.

“It´s really good would you like to see it?”I asked.

“Sure sweety” Mom

“Then I fetch it.” I said, ran up, took it out off my inventory and went again down.

-I can´t take it out off my inventory in front of her.-

“ Here I made this.”I gave her cautiously the sword.

“This sword is one of the best I´ve ever seen, you even are a genius amongst genius when it comes down to forging,”She said with a face that says that she don´t really know what she has to think from that.

“Haha I know, but don´t say it to dad, he nearly cried as I showed him the finished sword,”I warned.

“Fufufu I can´t promise that....”Mom said with a mischievous smile.

Clank, the door swung open and dad came in.

“Hi you both, how did you find something to buy sweety?”Dad asked.

“Yup, a glass of cherry´s do you want one?”I asked

“Sure” Dad

The rest of the day mom teased dad with my sword and we ate cherry´s until I had to go to sleep.

-I have to say it was a good day. Tomorrow I´ll look what I can do with magic.-

It did not take long and I was asleep.
