See this is what authors' should strive for when it comes story and world building. This manga started off with a basic gimmick: Blacksmiths wants to removes sword's panties pedestal + girl will not remove it bc reasons + ecchi stuff = Chapter. I honestly forget that is even a thing most of the time due to the characters and story being far more interesting now. Nice job author.
P.S. Thank god this fantasy story did not start off as some half-baked Isekai where a pervy, old man master blacksmith commits death by truck-kun, and then gets transported to another world where he believes his destiny is to work on the hero's sword... then the plot starts. You seriously can't take that for granted now a days.
