Chapter 242 - Let's Receive the Weapon
When Kazane and the others entered Dolmu City early in the morning, they decided to check in to the Ordonal Hotel they had stayed at previously. When they arrived at the city, there were many more adventurers coming and going than they had expected, so they judged that expressly camping out even though they were near a city would rouse the interest of the surrounding people, which would conversely be dangerous.
Then after moderately settling in to the hotel, Kazane, Tatsuo, and Naoki decided to head to the Shrine Magic Arms Workshop.
First of all, they would receive Naoki's new magic sword as planned. Then Kazane intended to make a work request to add a spell loading function to her tonfas.
◎ Dolmu City, Shrine Magic Arms Workshop
「It's been a long time, White Party.」
Kazane and the others inquired at the workshop and were shown to the female workshop head Aikis Shrine's office. Then Kazane and Naoki gave their reunion after around a month greetings to Aikis.
「But you came later than I expected. There's the Demon Wolf disturbance, so I thought you would return right away.」
「Well, there were various things.」
As urged, Kazane and Naoki sat on a sofa facing Aikis, who was on her own sofa.
「Is it related to that black dragon?」
After Aikis spoke, the juvenile black dragon on Kazane's shoulder cried kuwaa.
「Well, yeah. We did go to the dragon village.」
Kazane stroked that black mini dragon's head, and the black dragon seemed to find it pleasant, as he snuggled up to her. When Aikis saw that, she thought he was extremely emotionally attached, but needless to say, that dragon was Tatsuo.
As might be expected, Kazane was anxious about being separated from him for a long period of time, but on the other hand, it would also be difficult for him to hide at the workshop for a long time with Invisible and Optical Camouflage. For that reason, Kazane made scale armor for Tatsuo with『Arms Creation: Black Flame』that made him look like a black dragon child.
Of course, a black dragon would also be conspicuous outside, so he hid with Invisible and Optical Camouflage at those times, but Kazane decided to have him meet people they were more or less close with using this appearance.
「So, you mentioned the Demon Wolf disturbance, but as I thought, it hasn't been subjugated yet, right?」
Aikis bitterly smiled after Kazane's words.
「Well, that's right. Apparently, it's considerably troublesome. There's a large number of monsters, and on top of that, it seems they immediately run away if there are dragon opponents.」
That situation was as they expected.
「They say they're making no progress, and it seems that somehow two Dragon Knight and dragon mount pairs were eaten.」
「That's not good.」
Aikis nodded after Kazane's words.
「So without clearing away that disgrace, the Dragon Knights withdrew to prevent further losses. It looks like the knights and adventurers are currently mountain hunting in separate units. Both groups are having the tables turned on them, so it seems it's considerably tough, though.」
It seemed the Demon Wolf subjugation was going worse than they expected.
「By the way, those tonfas are from that Black Rock Dragon's horns, right?」
In any case, Kazane's group didn't come to talk about that. So Aikis stopped that discussion there and asked about the weapons on Kazane's hips that she was curious about.
「Yeah, that's right.」
Aikis groaned after Kazane's reply. Aikis was one of the people who had to throw in the towel when Kazane consulted her about the Black Rock Dragon horns.
「So unexpectedly, a person who can process those horns really exists.」
「He isn't a person, though.」
As a dwarf, a race that was supposed to be superior when it came to processing minerals, it was probably shameful, but when Kazane told her it was done by South Red Lord Suza, an Adult Dragon who was on the verge of becoming a God Dragon, it seemed she could understand.
「And the Rainbow Heart was turned into that ring and necklace?」
After looking at the tonfas, Aikis' gaze turned toward Kazane's Rainbow Necklace and Rainbow Dragon Ring.
Kazane responded to those words with a forced smile. That Rainbow Heart became my son, who's moving before your eyes, though... but she couldn't say that, and Kazane thought it was a good dummy answer for when she was asked what had happened to the Rainbow Heart. Tatsuo tilted his head beside her.
「Well, afterwards, there's something I want to request concerning the tonfas, though.」
Aikis' eyes glittered at Kazane's words, but since she was told that would come later, she decided to restrain herself and not say anything.
「Can we receive the requested item first? It's ready, right?」
「Ah, of course.」
Aikis replied.
Naoki had been silently staring at the gorgeous sheathed sword leaning against the wall behind Aikis since some time ago, and Aikis rose from the sofa, picked it up, and placed it on the table.
「This is……」
Naoki's eyes sparkled as he looked at it. Then Naoki looked at Aikis, who nodded to him.
「Don't worry about me, pull it out and look. It belongs to you.」
There was nothing to stop Naoki after he was told that. Naoki pulled the sword out of the sheath.
Rainbow radiance dominated that place.
「Ooooh!!!??」
Naoki moaned. Kazane and Tatsuo also said「Ooh,」and Aikis looked at Naoki with a satisfied expression.
「As your older sister said, I used one Crystal Dragon horn as it was. You likely won't see another item like this anytime soon.」
That radiance didn't match the brilliance of a Rainbow Heart, but it was as radiant as normal Tatsuo. The blade was transparent, and rainbow light was flowing inside.
「As planned, it looks like an accumulator is included.」
Kazane said with a meaningful grin as she looked at the sword's hilt.
「I was able to learn a lot.」
Aikis replied with a smile. Naoki was still dumbfounded and moaning as he stared at the sword.
「At any rate, it's incredibly brilliant.」
「By all rights, one or two more swords would normally be made from a Crystal Dragon horn. Solely extracting the core to make a single sword is extravagant. Going that far causes this.」
Aikis replied after Kazane spoke.
「Thank you. This is amazing. Terrific.」
Naoki's stupor finally ended, and he talked on and on.
「Ah, understood. Please don't swing it around. The room will be destroyed if you accidentally activate it.」
Aikis said with a slightly fearful expression to the deeply moved Naoki.
「Well, as requested by your older sister, the power and continuous activation time of Sevens Ray was emphasized at the expense of distance, but was that okay?」
「Yeah. Of course.」
Kazane nodded, and Naoki had already heard the specifications, so his expression showed his agreement.
「I've relied too heavily on attacking from a distance with Magic Sword Operator, so now I want to increase my strength as a swordsman.」
Then Naoki so replied. Aikis said「I see」and nodded. Up until now, Naoki had been treating magic swords as projectile weapons. Up until now, that had also been fine, but in the end, he couldn't take full advantage of his magic swords while fighting at a distance, so he was limiting his own ability. Naoki was deeply regretting his experience during the devil battle.
「Well, since I have these to hand over as well, I also want you to do your best at ranged battling.」
So saying, Aikis took out and placed two rainbow-colored earrings on the table.
「Distant View Earrings made from Crystal Dragon eyes. These will be your eyes and allow you to see things from quite far away.」
「Well, it's like the Remote Viewing of my Circlet of Wisdom, right?」
「As might be expected, the range isn't quite as far, but it should be enough to see everything within a battle's range.」
The Circlet of Wisdom was no match for an Artifact, but it was still a powerful magic tool. The technology used for it had been lost, and it seemed it was difficult to reproduce in modern times.
Naoki put the Crystal Dragon sword in its sheath and put on the earrings.
「That sword belongs to you. You get to give it a name.」
「Yes.」
Naoki bowed on the spot. Tears were overflowing. Apparently he was happy enough to cry.
After waiting for Naoki's deeply moved crying to calm down a little, Aikis asked Kazane a question.
「So then, what's the tonfa matter you mentioned earlier?」
Aikis looked at Kazane with eyes full of expectation.
「Yeah, take a look.」
So saying, Kazane put a tonfa on the table, and Aikis quickly picked it up. It seemed she greatly wanted to examine it.
「It's splendidly manufactured. It's extremely unadorned, though.」
「It's still an unfinished product. Suza-san said that it would probably be best to use Magic Steel like a magic sword for attachment, then equip that with a different material to make the shape.」
「I see. So this hole is for a fastener? Drilling this hole is like a miracle in itself, though. Even for dwarves, it would probably be impossible without using God's Fire.」
Aikis was closely examining the tonfa as she muttered that.
「So then, you want me to make this fitting part?」
「Yeah, that's how it is.」
「As might be expected, I wouldn't be able to call myself a blacksmith master if I refused when such legendary materials are brought before me one after the other, so I have no particular problem with accepting. However, I think a worthy material is necessary. Otherwise, it would be unbalanced.」
After Aikis' words, Kazane thought a little, then spoke.
「Um, is there a large quantity of silver material in this workshop?」
Aikis tilted her head after Kazane's words.
「Well, I suppose there is, but wouldn't it be better to use Mythril Silver or White Silver?」
Mythril Silver was a hard, superior material that magical power could easily pass through. White Silver's quality was similar to silver, but magical power could easily pass through it. Silver possessed a sacred attribute that made it strong against undead, but it lacked versatility.
「No, there's a little something I want to try.」
So saying, Kazane opened a Window and selected『Pseudo-silver Creation』from her Skill list.
(Well, once again I've received a lot of money, so I guess it's about time to give this guy a try?)
Kazane thought with a laugh.

Yumika:「Ah, that Skill was simply added and was never used.」
Kazane:「It seems there are stories about Kobolds turning silver into counterfeit silver. Apparently that was actually referring to cobalt, though.」
Yumika:「So you can make cobalt?」
Kazane:「No, it seems that in Zexiaharts, silver that had its granted Holy attribute extracted was treated as pseudo-silver.」

Thanks for the chapter.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chapter!
ReplyDeleteKazane, what did you tell your son about Aikis? Just asking, since his first reaction was to call her a whore in Polis (kuwaa = softly spoken kurwa)
