Chapter 3 - Hero of Village

Buskon Village-

'Today we are finally getting rid of this old hut but..' Felix look at his father who was crying at the tomb of his parents which was behind the house "sorry mom…sorry dad I can't keep my promise of…. protecting the workshop.." Bastro said while crying because yesterday the workshop demolish on it's own because of the rotten woods which it was made of.

"Dear are you alright now?, don't worry we will visit this home once in a month" Nellie said to Bastro "Yeah, it is not time for grieving on past, let's go in our new home!" after Bastro said this Bardeen family started moving with few necessary items like clothes, blacksmithing tools and family's treasured sword.

"Please show your verification card" a guard at the village border asked "Yes, here" Bastro showed the card of three of us but the guard was just glanced on it and said "Hehe looks like you guys have something good in this box" he said with cunning smile while looking on the sword's box which Bastro was holding "Sorry but this is not for sale" Bastro told him but the guard was not even listening and snatched the box "ohh such an good sword is getting wasted on guys like you, and you are misunderstanding, who said you are getting payment!" while guard was saying this another guard but in rather a more dignified uniform was coming "What with this ruckus Gadym?" that senior knight said and looked at my Bastro and said "Oh Bastro Bardeen the best Blacksmith of the village, whadya doing here?" he exclaimed and only two persons are shock, firstly the guard on the gate "Huh?!, Bastro? You mean the blacksmith Bastro!" he check the cards again and apologize on his knees "I apologize Sir Bardeen!" the knight said to guard with angered voice " You go back in camp I will see you later" the knight left and Bastro said " Thank you Sir Vomon" they shake hands "Well what are you doing here with your family and.. this much luggage" Bastro said with a smile "I am moving in village now" "..I see, then welcome Bardeen family".

While we left from their we meet few more people who greet Bastro and in this all Felix was confused and shock that 'why everyone is respecting this mid twenties person who just live in his hut all day?' Nellie read Felix's expression and said "Your dad is a hero and a great helper of this village, he fought against many monster group attacks on village and even if not able to fight, he gave many weapons in very cheap price during monster group's raid." This reasons gave Felix a new understanding for Bastro of pride and courteous, while Nellie was explaining this Bastro who was walking 3 steps forward was grinning and have a satisfied widely smile.

"This is our new house Felix, do you like this?" Felix was happy with 'This house which has two floors and a big and wide workshop in side, a drawing room, a separate kitchen, and lastly my own bedroom!, yayy this is it, my best house hahaha' "Yes dad, it is so big and perfect, it has a good workshop also!" Felix said with a smile "Hahaha nice that you are worried about us and kind but.., you saw all that, right?" Bastro's smile fade and he continued "now you are between many people, they might try to use you or harm you, so just promise that you will stay safe and don't stay out of home for too long" 'both my parents look worried, but I know better than anyone how selfish people are' "Yes dad, I understood".

After few days when we settled Bardeen family settled in their new house "Dad, I want to ask you something" Felix ask to Bastro when he was hammering the melted metal "Sorry I didn't listen clearly, what are you saying?" Bastro said while taking of gloves "Dad I want to learn blacksmithing" Bastro think for a bit and said "Observe me for now if you want, when I will come home we will talk" 'Eh? Home is just beyond that door' "Uh..ok, I will head back for now" Felix said and left to wait for Bastro's coming.

At evening time, "Dad now tell me, will you teach me?" Felix ask with sparkling eyes, Bastro take a sip of water and said "Call your mother, she will also decide" 'Heh son if I allow then also I might get scolded by your mother or if not then also can get scolded' Bastro thought. After few minutes every one came in dining room "Son tell your desires" Bastro exclaimed 'huh? Why is this feeling like court room' "Please teach me blacksmithing!" Nellie didn't react much on this as Bastro thought and asked "Fel why do you suddenly want to learn blacksmithing? You are too young for this work" she paused and with fierce look at Bastro "Or if anyone told you to say this then please tell me" Bastro looking at me helplessly said "Uhh..ah Felix tell your mother, did I told you this?!" 'It is so good to see almighty Bastro in this state, but he is the one who will teach me so..' "No mom, no one told me to learn this but I myself want" Nellie said with worried eyes "But still it is too..early-" Bastro interrupt and said "Well if he wants to learn then with small piece of metal also you can learn it" Felix was happy to hear this and now looking at Nellie with sparkling eyes "Ah how can I say no to such a cute boy, still be careful because its still dangerous" Nellie look at Bastro and said "Please look at him while he is handling fire and hammer" Bastro said with a grin "Haha no need to worry, I will make him learn this in one week".
