The Blacksmith's Passion, An Agreement to Create an Artifact Before a Disaster Strikes

Day 319 - 10:15 AM - Storeroom, Four Squares Blacksmiths Stall, Toyosu Wholesale Market, Toyosu, Koto City, Tokyo

The storeroom fell into silence. The words that came out of the old blacksmith's mouth caused quite a surprise to Mark and Mako for different reasons.

What was an artifact that Yasuo mentioned, to begin with?

In literal meaning, it was a manmade object of historical value. Items that could be found within historical ruins could be an example.

Of course, this was not what Yasuo was talking about.

The artifacts Yasuo was pertaining to were items imbued with characteristics beyond the norm. Some had magical properties, while others were technologically complex at the time of their creation. There were also more kinds of these objects. However, they all shared one identifying trait.

These strange artifacts bend the laws and common sense of Earth's reality.
