I walked into the workshop and first thing I did was to open my mouth wide and stand there in a daze.
'Wow ....... It's getting so big ......'
The workshop has been expanded and evolved in every way, and I'm amazed at how much it has evolved. The aisle in the workshop, which was so narrow, can now accommodate three people at a time, and the props that were so cluttered are neatly put away. The soot and dust is far from perfect, but it's far better than before. The space is simply ten times larger than before, and the number of furnaces and platforms has increased as well. Furthermore, the number of blacksmiths running around in the workshop is more than ten times greater.
It's not just the heat of the blacksmiths, but the heat of the people.
A lot of blacksmiths were shouting and producing a lot of armor.
''Whoa, isn't that a master?''
The long-haired man who was directing those many blacksmiths in the center turns to me.
He's a former explorer blacksmith who is hiding his facial scars with his hair - Alivers Rivers.
He is the opposite of me, and without seeming particularly surprised, he interrupts his own work and walks over to me. The field leader's instructions stopped, causing a stagnation in the busy blacksmiths' movements.
'...... Who's that?'
Did Mr. Alibers say he was a master?
But you're not the master, are you?
This one seemed to be a newcomer, just like the people at the door.
I could do nothing but smile at them and introduce myself.
Hello," she said, "I'm Aikawa Kanami. I'm Aikawa Kanami.
I had already realized that there was no point in sneaking around and hiding it after the one incident at the front door.
Then, Alibers-san introduces me in detail to add to the list.
'This is our guild master. You know, the one you hear about. It's so rare, so rare.
After a moment of silence, there was a groan.
'--but don't you guys hold back. Focus on yourself properly.
A single voice from Alibers restrained the floating forge. Unlike Teyri-san, he wasn't amused and cheerful. Very helpful.
''Uh-uh-uh.''
As he said, they all replied in unison and resumed their work. I can't help but marvel at the wonderful leadership.
I walk up to Alibers-san with a feeling that I want to applaud her.
'It's been a while. So today--'
No, I know. There's only one thing the Master needs to see here.
Immediately, Mr. Alibers led me to a warehouse at the back of the workshop. Inside the warehouse, which had been expanded just like the workshop, there were many finished products stored. Among them was an armor that had been specially treated as if it were a decoration.
It's ready for you whenever you come. Take it with you. In addition, I have a few things that are my hobby and are exclusive to the master. It's bad enough that the master has been slow to pick them up. You'll have to use all of them.
From the pieces lined up in a row, I first look at the equipment that would be exclusive to Maria and Dia.
【Cloak of the White Stone Thread】
Defensive value 3. Anti-magic value 3.
[Water feathered shell]
Defense value 4, magic value 8.
A +33% correction to underwater actions.
[Red Sting Dagger]
Attack power 3
Equipmenter's fire magic +0.10
Adds +10% to the equipper's fire magic
[Alibar's Loeb]
Defensive strength of 5. Anti-magic strength of 2.
Equiper's wooden magic +0.05--
It started with the clothes I could wear within the order, then the skirts and robes.
And next to them were gloves and shoes that I could use. I wonder if they matched my hair color, the main color was black, with a beautiful silver line colored on it.
[Chrome Gloves]
Defensive power 1
Equipmenter's Skill + 0.10
[Megistus Boots]
Defensive power2
Equipper's speed + 0.10--
My eyes light up as I pick it up. It's always exciting to buy or receive something new. It's even more so when it's a new piece of equipment in a world like a game.
'Yes, I like this ......! It's very helpful. I just wanted one for myself.
Oh, yeah? Well, feel free to use it. The best reward for me is to have a master to use it. If you have anything else you want, you can take it.
Mr. Alivers shows his fatness. From his appearance, one can see that the guild's economy is booming. However, the blacksmith who was peeking out from the entrance of the warehouse blames him for it. Apparently, the blacksmiths who were taking a break were secretly looking at the situation.
''Eh, master, it's free! You're always telling me that free is no good, and that I should price things accordingly!
'You even said that's what makes you a blacksmith!
Those are your masterpieces!
The opinions of the newcomers, who have been educated very straightforwardly, fly.
'It's fine. You're that master. Only the master is special. I mean, I'm a blacksmith to dedicate a weapon to the Master. How about you get fired for talking like that?
But it was returned with the messed up theories characteristic of the early Epic Seeker face. In response to the joking words of the newcomers, Alibers-san had a serious face. The newcomers were immensely disappointed to find out that he was seriously doing the blacksmithing for me.
It's a pity that the newcomers who enter Epic Seeker with hopes and dreams will have people like this in the upper echelons of the company. By the way, I'm the one in the upper echelon, but I can't help them.
I'm going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it.
''I'm really glad to have gotten to know you in ...... this guild. This has cleared up most of the equipment I was worried about. These will be purchased at Alibers-san's asking price.
I'll tell you what. I'm grateful for fate to have met you. It's ......, so I really don't need the money. Most of the fine magic stones I used in the first place were also given to me by the master.
But you'll have to pay for the blacksmithing.
If I get it for free as it is, I'll be on the corner. There's no need to insist on free since our wallets will be full once Teyri-san's redemption is complete. I negotiated with Alibers and managed to settle on a low-cost purchase.
This is how I got the biggest results in a short time.
Then, as ...... was leaving the workshop with a beaming face, a trembling voice stopped me in my tracks, stopping me from doing so.
''Wow, don't you have any for your child ......? Kanaminyoi.
The titty I dragged and brought with me was trying to get up at the edge of the workshop.
If possible, I would have wanted her to pass out until she left the Epic Seeker, but the toughness of a guardian (guardian) is quintessential.
'No, he doesn't. Tity wasn't here when I asked for this.
I manage to persuade him to stay calm and try to get out of here.
But Titi creeps toward us, lips pursed and slimy as slime. I have a bad feeling about this disgusting movement.
It's not fair. It's not fair. The boy needs new equipment.
You can make a sword out of the wind, you don't need it. You don't need the equipment.
I still want it. You said you'd be concentrating on your equipment this morning. There's still time to spare. Then it's for you... for you... This is his original equipment. He wants to get a piece of equipment like Rowen's.
'Don't be a spoiled child! Don't tug at the hem! Patience!
'Hmmm, now the child is ready to cry and pout! We have until we're on the ground right now! And after crying to your heart's content, I'm determined to keep glancing at it until Kanamin breaks!
This guy--!
I had a bad feeling about this.
This guy does it. If he says he's going to do it, he's going to do it.
If I leave it at that, my reputation, which is already in tatters, will be mortally wounded. Above all, there was no point in wasting time trying to convince her.
I have no choice but to do what Titi wants.
I have to say. Can I borrow your workshop for a moment ......?
'Yeah, that's fine, of course, but ....... If you want, I can do it myself.
No, this one's just fine.
Hmm. Let's just follow up. I'm working with the master on this one.
Other newcomers who were taking a break also came forward, so it seemed to be a quick matter.
''Fuhaha, you did it! So, Kanami, give me a cool sword!
Okay.
Well, you know, it goes something like this. I want a two-handed sword like this!
"Okay, okay,
Titi took the liberty of using a blueprint that was nearby and quickly and dexterously drew a complete drawing. However, I couldn't say that I was flattered, so I really only had a rough idea of what it would look like.
With that finished drawing in my head, I immediately assembled the optimal procedure for completing it. Fortunately, my knowledge and experience in both the skill 'Blacksmithing' has skyrocketed, thanks to helping Reynand-san in his underground life.
''Mr. Alibers. I will use the furnace at maximum firepower. I want to get this over with as quickly as possible.
'At most? Isn't that dangerous? That's a tough one to start out with.
No, I've been practicing since then, so I think I'll be fine. And I'm already good at that kind of fine-tuning.
Before ...... he was a master at creating and showing magic items in one shot. I believe you.
Thinking that even if I fail, it's fine because it's Titi's, I start to get on with it as best I can.
Since his identity has already been discovered, he proudly takes out the magic stones he obtained in the depths of the labyrinth from his 'belongings'. The blacksmiths who had started with Alibers-san gasped as they laid it out on the table in a row.
''Titi, it's yours. It's yours to do with your help. Just do as I tell you.
Hey. No.
I've given up on a lot of things, and I've decided not to hide my titty's power either.
"First, you'll have to break that magical stone into pieces. You're going to have to break it to pieces like sand.
Hooray. --Yeah.
Without question, Titi trusts me and goes into action.
Without using any tools, Titi used her bare hands to polish the upper level magic stone that would be difficult to crack even with a mallet. When the blacksmiths saw this, they gasped once more. This time it was with a feeling of awe.
''Next, this one too. And this one and this one, we'll split it into eight parts.''
A-Un's work completed what would normally take hours.
"Titi, can you use the wind to cool it down?
Hmm, it's not the same as cooling, but I think the [free wind] will just break up the heat.
I guess that works. I'll regulate the temperature. You get the wind. I'll tell you exactly what percentage of power to use, and you don't make any mistakes.
Ho ho ho ho.
I immediately pour my full magical power into the magic-powered furnace.
Naturally, it's only a moment away from maximum firepower. I don't care about the eyes of the people around me anymore.
First, I put the shattered magical stone into the furnace to dissolve and remove impurities. The molten steel used for decoration and reinforcement is forcibly completed and temporarily moved to another location, and next, the main rare magic stone is burned and struck, burned and struck - forged.
''Here, now let this one cool down.
A child must mend his sword. [Wind of Freedom]! --WIND!
That's good. Just keep it down another four percent or so. You know what I mean? That's about four in a hundred.
The percentages will speak for themselves.
The work of cooling with water is omitted by the power of 'the one who steals the reason for the wind'. Honestly, Titi's wind seems to be able to provide a higher degree of perfection in cooling.
My Dimension grasps the heat of all parts of the iron to less than a tenth of a tenth of a centimeter, and Titty's precise and incomparable wind cools it down.
It's a cooling method that only Titi and I can do. It was our first attempt, but perhaps because of our relationship, once we had made a heart-to-heart connection through 'connection', our breathing didn't shift.
We worked out and cooled down, and then worked out and cooled down.
I'm going to save more time than I thought I would, so I'm going to make some more changes. Swinging the mallet with inhuman muscle strength, he added more rare magic stones, stretching and folding them in and out to increase the strength. Since Titi will be wielding it, sturdiness is the priority.
In terms of speed and precision, there is no better blacksmith than me. And in terms of brute force, there is no better assistant than Titi.
It's a good idea to have a good time. His inhuman physical strength was enough to make the newcomers who were helping me breathe first.
And several hours of all-out blacksmithing - up to the stage of carving and magical writing.
I stop to retrieve my special tools.
I pull the sword from my waist, thinking I'll do it with "Rowen" ....... Or rather, you need something on the level of the "Treasured Sword of the House of Alais, Rowen" to shave off the iron that has become too tough.
It's a bit of a big blade for magic-style writing, but I'm sure I can do it now.
I'm confident. It has reached that level of skill and status.
When I lightly sharpened it crisply to test it, there was no blade spill on the "Treasured Sword of the Aleiss Family, Rowen". I reaffirmed that it is a sword that has reached another dimension, and I began attacking the new sword on the table with the Treasured Sword of the House of Ares, Rowen.
If he didn't swing it vigorously, he couldn't cut this new sword deeply and cleanly, so he would be writing letters with the tip of the sword like a scene from some comic book.
Titi was delighted by this street art, and the blacksmiths don't like it.
Lastly, the sharpening process is also done quickly with Rowen, and the finishing touches are done with a special sharpening stone. It's a good thing, because even if it's not sharp enough, as long as the titty can wield it, it has plenty of offensive power.
Then, we added a luxurious flange to the tee, just as the tee was designed and ordered.
The only thing left to do is to get a grip ...... and end up with an appropriate cloth.
The sword hilt can be held in Titi's sturdy palm as long as it is not sharpened. In Titi's poorly drawn, it's wrapped around the cloth, so this should be fine.
--Okay!
Now we have something that looks like a sword, which is just good material for now!
Heavy. Hard. Unbreakable - a magical sword that has the three key ingredients.
A lazy sword-shaped blunt instrument worthy of being held by Titi!
Whew. I guess that completes the process.
Oh, it's done! This is so f*cking gorgeous! It's so sparkly!
I announced the completion of the project and Titi, who was waiting for it, jumped up and down with joy.
I'm sure it's because I used a lot of magic stones that you got from the labyrinth. But it's better than I expected.
Haha, it's all thanks to the help of the boy!
Yeah, I'm sure of it. Thanks, Titi.
While thanking him for his help, he 'gazes' at the finished product.
[The Demon Sword of the Founder and the Demon King]
Attack power 7.
It will have a durability equal to the level of the person equipped.
With the blessings of the Ancestors and the Demon King, it interferes with all matter.
All attribute magic of the wearer +0.10
My 'Gazing' ability named this [The Demon Sword of the Primordial and Demon King].
It's a strange name, but its performance is tremendous. There's even a strange blessing that I don't remember attaching to it.
''Name! Can a child be named after you!
...... It's your sword, so what can you do?
Honestly, it's the task I was looking forward to the most, but I'm losing out on the glittering, gleaming-eyed titties. If you take away the naming task here, it's like taking a toy away from a child.
'You did it! Hmmm...then...this child's sword is.........
Hmmm, Titty groaned and found the remnants of the magic stones he had used along the way.
The names of the magic stones used are 'Alecross Light', 'Windflower Light', 'Valcunto Emerald', etc. ......--
'Then the name of this sword is "Florite" - no, "Brave Florite"! The light of courage that gushes forth, the 'Holy Sword Brave Florite'!
Titty finished naming it with a pose that seemed to have a sound effect, "Baaan.
[The Founder and the Demon King's Demon Sword Brave Florite]
Attack power 7.
Add a value equal to the equipper's level to the durability
With the blessings of the Ancestors and the Demon King, it interferes with all matter.
All attribute magic +0.10 for the equiped person.
However, my 'Gazing' is not a holy sword, it's treated as a magic sword. That's right, if the Demon King cooperates in the production of it, I'll have no choice but to judge it as such. What gushes out is not the light of courage, but the curse of the Ancestor and the Demon King.
Thus, the [Ancestor and Demon King's Demon Sword Brave Florite] was completed. However, I'm not a demon enough to tell Titi that it's a demon sword, so I congratulate her honestly.
''Good for you. It's your original weapon. Use it carefully.
'Wow! Yeah, I'll take care of it!
Titi rubs her cheek on the finished sword. She'll be happy with that.
You take a breath and try to remember what you're going to do next in your mind. The time saved was almost exceeded because of Titi.
When I was wondering whether I should go to buy food or magic stones next, Alibers-san calls out to me.
Both the newcomers and the others froze, but they finally seemed to come to their senses.
''--Hmm, hmm. As I thought, our master is amazing. As I thought before, he surpasses us with a single hand. Above all, he moves fast. Too fast. It's natural since he's the master who performed that final sword fight, but even more than that, ......--Master, you said earlier that you practiced blacksmithing, where in the world did you forge?
Mr. Allivers seems to have noticed the abnormal part of my blacksmithing. I understand that abnormal part very well, so I'll explain.
''It's as good as it gets, Alivers-san. I've been doing some menial work in a place that still has blacksmithing skills from a thousand years ago. I think that's what made it possible.
There are some skills in places that even I didn't know about. It's definitely in the realm of 'divine iron smithing'. Can I ask you where the blacksmithing skills from a thousand years ago are still in use? If I could, I'd like to do some menial work there too.
'Sorry. The person who had that technology has just recently passed away, so please visit ....... I can't refer you to .......
'Well, ....... I'm sorry to hear that.
Alivers-san snorted with a frustrated look on his face as he bowed his head. But at first, he was snarling like, "d*mn," but halfway through, he said, "No, it's cool that it's called a skill (a deliberate act) only for a master who is a hero. This might be delicious--" he had developed a disease, so I don't particularly worry about it.
I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.
"Isn't it possible that old Volus was actually a great guy?
'Oh, yes. Respect me.
'Mmm! I am!
To my immediate response, Titty responds with an immediate response as well.
She seems to be in a good mood as she gets her own personal sword. And while she's in that good mood, her additional order comes in.
'Now all that's left is armor! I want the one that's on display there!
There was a piece of women's light armor on display there that neither Maria nor Dia could use.
Rather than a piece of armor, it's more like a collection of multiple plates. If anything, it might be better described as a set of armor.
'You don't need me to make the armor?'
"Swords mustn't be broken when swinging them, but armor is fine as long as the child avoids it. --And this armor suits the child's taste very well!
Apparently, it's love at first sight.
Mr. Alibers, who is probably the author of the book, reacted to the enthusiastic call.
He says, "Mmm, you have pretty good taste. That's my best heroic design.
"Hmmm, the boy wants to be a hero! Hence, I was hoping to get this kind of equipment!
You want to be a hero? Huh, you draw designs with a soul by reason of course. And he's also a master artist. Interesting. I love it!
They were two people who instantly hit it off.
''Well, then, I'll buy that armor. As for the price--
I try to buy the armor before an unpleasant chemical reaction occurs.
Just then, Teyri-san and Volzak-san appeared from the entrance of the workshop.
''Ah, you're still here! I've finished withdrawing the money exactly!
Mr. Volzak was made to carry a large number of bags of gold coins and documents. Apparently, there was no need to worry about the money anymore.
''--I think I can pay it without any problems, so please take this one at an asking price too.
'No, Master has shown me a good one. I'll give you a discount. If nothing else, I like Titty the Brave.
'Alibers! Thank you!
Thus, Titi obtained the 'Brave Florite, the Demon Sword of the Founder and the Demon King' and the 'Flying Greenstone Light Armor of Rui-Fin Rhyt'.
The only thing I'd like to ramble on about is that, with apologies to Mr. Alibers for his cooperation, Titi's fist was more destructive than that sword, and Titi's skin was sturdier than her armor.
Still, Titi was happy as a child.
I had no regrets, as the smile on her face was good enough to make it worth the money just to see that look on her face.
