The atmosphere tensed up when the lady boss returned with her husband. They talked in whispers and closed up the inn.
“What’s happening?” Sho asked.
“Shssh. It seems like the Enlightened soldiers have reached this town.” Aiba mama said.
“What’s going to happen?” Ohno asked.
“They are here for the bronze. They want my bronze… No they shall not have it.” Aiba senior shook his head.
“This… Celestial bronze… Can I see it?” Ohno asked.
He was intrigued. He had heard much about the magical material at the academy, but never had a chance to see it.
Aiba-san nodded and disappeared into a backroom of the inn. He appeared a while later with two swords in his arms.
“Here, try them.” Aiba-san said as he passed each of them a sword.
Ohno took his time to admire the sword. The scabbard alone was a work of art, exquisitely decorated with a dazzling array of patterns. Ohno drew the sword. The metal glistened in an array of colors, like oil on a puddle of water. However, Ohno noticed the edge was blunt.
“Testing swords. We don’t want customers cutting themselves up do we?” Aiba-san grunted.
“Fight. Show me how you fight.” Aiba urged.
Sho gave the sword an experimental swing.
Ohno started the duel going, slashing out towards Sho. As they fought, Ohno’s appreciation for the blacksmith’s work increased. The sword was well balanced, and despite being a tad heavier than the ones he was used to, it cut the air with ease, executing his moves perfectly like an extension of his hand.
“That’s enough.” Aiba-san declared. “I know what sort of swords you should have. A heavier, sturdy sword for Sakurai-san just like you dad and a lighter one emphasising speed over strength for…”
“Ah, I’m Ohno.”
“For Ohno-san… Say Ohno-san, are you familiar with the ways of the katana? I feel that the katana would suit you better”
“Ah yes I’ve trained with it before on occasion but…”
“You really don’t have to make weapons for us, we do not have the means to pay you Aiba-san,” Sho finished the sentence for Ohno.
“Oh there is no need for payment, I served your father for many years Sakurai-san, it would be an honour if I can serve his son as well. Especially in difficult times like this… Just last week we heard news that the Hudson village is no more…” Aiba-san’s voice trailed off.
“His family was from Hudson, all murdered…” Aiba mama replied. “You baka. Stop crying, we have to be brave and face the future.”
Aiba-san nodded as tears welled up in his eyes. He turned and trudge off to the backroom.
“I’ll work on your weapons and armour as fast as I can, please wait for me to finish them,” Aiba-san choked.
“Armour too?” Sho wondered.
To his side, Ohno had also started sobbing.

There will be a lot of fights
