Villainess Is Changing Her Role To A BroCon
chapter-107

“Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize for the disturbance. Have a nice day.” (Ekaterina)

Smiling at the pale and trembling Garen and the dazed craftsmen in the workshop, Ekaterina left the Garen Workshop with Mina in tow.

“I’m sorry, miss. I can’t believe I let a guy like that see the young lady.” (Garen)

Mina bowed apologetically to Ekaterina as she got into the carriage, Mina stays and stands outside without riding the carriage.

Ekaterina’s POV

“It’s not Mina’s fault. It’s just that I didn’t imagine that the master of a workshop with a good reputation would have such a rude character.” (Ekaterina)

With that kind of character, I don’t know how he managed to grow his business like that.

“I heard that he’s nothing compared to the master called Murano. But now that he’s dead, he’s the best craftsman in the country, and the fame has quite gotten to his head.” (Mina)

“Oh, I see…” (Ekaterina)

In other words, he has turned arrogant.

“But he sure is good at it. I think there are only a few craftsmen who can make a vase that big. But I guess that’s also the reason why they’re not good at crafting fine, delicate things.” (Ekaterina)

It’s possible that he didn’t want to say he was not good at it because of his pride as the best craftsman in the country. The more negative the information, the more clearly it should be presented, uncle.

Also, I’m sure he also took advantage of the fact that there were only two women. Even in Japan in the 21st century, there were a few people who were arrogant when their partner was a woman. What more in this world where male chauvinism is deeply rooted.

“I’d like you to try to find a workshop that specializes in detailed work this time.” (Ekaterina)

“Do you still want to make that glass pen?” (Mina)

“Of course, Mina, I’m not going to give up so easily.” (Ekaterina)

You couldn’t just give up after one or two times. It is important to be persistent. It’s a natural part of being a working adult.

“Miss. If that’s the case, would you mind waiting here for a while longer?” (Mina)

“Here?” (Ekaterina)

“Yes.” (Mina)

Her expression is as blank as usual, but Mina seems to have an idea.

“Very well, if that’s what Mina says.” (Ekaterina)

…

3rd POV

The waiting man soon appeared.

One of Garen Workshop’s craftsmen, a young man known as Rev, came out of the workshop, he seemed a little guilty, as he was trying to avoid the eyes of his colleagues.

But when he saw the duke’s luxurious carriage that was still parked in front of him, his eyes turned round in amazement.

“You wanted to see the young lady?” (Mina)

Mina called out bluntly as she stood outside the carriage.

“Yes! Um, yes, I do.” (Rec)

Rev was spooked, but quickly looked at Mina as if he had regained his senses.

“Um, about your order earlier…. I was wondering if you could tell me more about it.” (Rev)

“Can you make what the lady wants?” (Mina)

Mina asked bluntly.

Rev replied with a terribly serious expression.

“I can’t say for sure until I hear more about it. But I have a feeling I can make it… Or rather, I’d like to make it with my own hands.” (Rev)

Ekaterina couldn’t help but smile as she saw the expression on his face from inside the carriage.

That’s a good example of a craftsman!

If there’s a challenge, you forget about your hunger, if you’re asked to make something difficult, you skip countless nights of sleep until you figure out how to do it.

Huh!? This means he’s going to die of exhaustion.

“Do you have time?” (Mina)
