Vol.2
Ch.23 - I decided to make my own weapon.

"So tired"(Taichi)

Finally, I finished making the blades that Sondark requested, I fell down sideways.
I've no motivation anymore. No more spear, nope.

"Taichi-san fight! Oh, luckily there is a fatigue relieve potion here!"(Marl)
"Stop it! You're going to force me to drink again!!"(Taichi)

Marl mounted me and try to thrust the small bottle containing yellow sparkling liquid into my mouth.
I desperately resist. Maybell who unexpectedly appeared and help Marl.
Maybell's eyes that hold me down is dark! SCARY!
Stop it, stop it! LET! ME! GOOOOO!

"Glurb, ugh, ugh."(Taichi)

Recently, Marl uses me as a test subject------ no, as a waste disposal site.
Sure, I said poison does not work for me. I drank poison prepared by Marl to showed it.
So it has an effect, but why do not you stop using me for disposing of strong ones?
I'm not a waste disposal machine.

"Hoora! You felt 100 times stronger right?"(Marl)
"I certainly felt that the fatigue of my body was gone......What kind of side effects did it have by the way?"(Taichi)

I get out of the restraint and get up.
It is comfortable as if I was ma.s.saged carefully at the stiff back, shoulder, and arms.
Maybell-san, why do you look so dejected? Have you really woken up?

"It's all right, there is only a slight addiction!"(Marl)
"It's a drug!? Is not this a drug!!?"(Taichi)

I'm dumbfounded by Marl's words which she spoke without any worry.
I feel like she is getting more and more merciless with the way she treats me.

"Well, but look at this guy, I did my best right?"(Taichi)
"Well, certainly you are."(Marl)

In one corner of the smithing workshop, there were stacked blades that were neatly packed in a wooden box.
Saber blade, long sword blade, short sword blade, spear blade were packed so that they could be transported easily.
The shortsword blade can also be used as a long spear by putting it on the tip of the spear handle.
Spears are probably most used for infantry, the majority of national strength, so I made the most.
I would not want to make a spear blade for a while, if possible. I made nearly 1,000 spear blades alone.
They will buy all of this for certain if not finances of our house will be doomed.
I think I can dive into the ocean of gold coins spreading through the room soon.
Well, Sondark or the Karendale kingdom will be selling weapons I made to other countries without putting any labor. I can hear their faint laughter.
Recently it seems that my reputation in the military is rising by devising high-quality sabers.
At least, there are no more forces that are trying to eliminate me.
Those who were trying to eliminate me were especially influential people in the military.
It seems that thanks to the presentation of Mythril s high-quality weapons, they took a better view. Humans are simple!

"Well, I guess I'm going to strengthen myself and Marl."(Taichi)

It is about 20 days after I received a message from an indescribable being.
There is only one month and a bit more left.
The current level is 20 for me and 11 for Marl.
To be honest, I think that if I am the only one, I am not worried so much.
I have the enormous strength of an individual.
The problem is Marl. I do not intend to let her fight on the front line just like me, but there are things that sometimes happen.
After all, it is a necessary matter to improve Marl's level and equipment.
Of course, because something might happen to me as well, I should get stronger too.

"First thing I can do right away is to strengthen the equipment. Make a stronger weapon for Marl and me."(Taichi)
"Well, but I have this from Taichi-san."(Marl)

Marl gently stroked Mythril short sword we lowered to her waist.
Well, I'd like her to use that sword I gave her too.

"I know, so if Marl is fine, I'd like to rework your sword."(Taichi)
"Indeed.......Yes, I understand, please!"(Marl)
"Leave it to me, is there anything you want?"(Taichi)

I received the Mythril Shortsword that Marl handed over and look at that blade.
Even though it's not as much as I am now, the craftsmen who made this sword have good skill.

"Well, that's right, after all, I'd like you to lengthen the blade a bit longer..........But then it won't be shortsword anymore, is it?"(Marl)

Certainly.
Since the marriage proposal in this world is established only by giving Mithril's shortsword, it is somewhat doubtful to reshape it into a longsword.
However, the enemy we have to face is Great flooding.
Regardless of that, I can not hesitate to do what I must do, or else I might regret it for my life.

"Okay, then I will just rework this sword as it is, and made another sword for Marl, I'll leave the length as it is, okay?"(Taichi)
"Yes, please!"(Taichi)

Marl reply with a full smile.
Ha ha ha, I guess that this smile gives me more vitality than such a dubious potion.
Well, let take a look at the Marl's shortsword.
I will also burn this fine decoration into my eyes.
I should be able to completely reproduce it, for current me.
I can! I can! I can! Alright!!!!
Actually, a metal called Mythril can give a special effect by giving magic attribute at the time when you refining or forging.
It is a so-called magic powered product.
For example, like this Marl's shortsword, if you add the power of the wind, you can reduce the weight and increase the user's agility.
And the color of Mythril also changes.
This short sword has a wind attribute, so it has a s.h.i.+ny green color.
This shortsword is a single edged with some curve at the tip.
It's not as curved as saber, so it is impossible to make it like a saber, but I can make it closer.
Disa.s.semble the shortsword and remove the blade from the handle.
The inscription of the sword that struck on this shortsword was engraved there. I engraved the inscription in my mind.
And I put it in a smelting furnace, add more Mythril ore, put in my magic power, made it into an ingot.

And strike.
Repet.i.tively over and over, put magic power and spirit in.
This is Marl's guardian. I will put in everything.
And it was a shortsword that had a stronger magic power while retaining its looks just like before.
I look at it with Appraisal eye.
Weight reduction, increased the speed of users, the wind attributes were attached.
The effect is stronger than before. Of course, the quality is "Supernatural".
And I inscribed the original creator's name, I also add my name too.
And decorate the blades with something similar to the original.
Plug it back into the original sheath and adjust it to get it done.
It fitted without problems.
As expected, the Smithing skill level 5, the superhuman level is not just for show.

Then I make the longsword for Marl.
Let's have a similar design so that it can be paired with the shortsword.
That's right. Let's make the blade a little longer, more curved, increase the cutting force, increase the penetrating power, make the tip a little wider and make it double-edged.....It looks like a cutla.s.s.
For the blade, I decorate it like a short sword and make it little gorgeous.
Such a knuckle guard is like that. Alright, I will go with that image.
Strike it like the previous shortsword.
Powerful and elegantly.
To keep sword speed and to obtain high cutting force.
Focus consciousness to make a blade tip.
Just like the one before.

I was able to do it, and I was doing good.
That's it, it will be absolutely cool if you use it together with the shortsword.
Although if Marl uses it, she may cut herself.

"Okay, I did it."(Taichi)

Marl seems to have been watching me by my side from the start.
She picked up the swords and put them on her waist.
Then, she narrows her eyes and pulls them out one by one to see the blade and swing it lightly.
Perhaps shortsword is lighter than before.
The longsword should be about the same weight as the shortsword before the rework.

"It's beautiful ... Thank you! Taichi-san!"(Marl)

That's why Marl smiles at Cutla.s.s.
Yeah, it's cute, but the picture composition is scary.
Marl jumped out as she says "I will practice in the backyard!".
She'd like to confirm the comfort of the new sword at once. It is a good thing to be eager.

Well, now for my weapon?
What to do. The sword should be simply reworked, the problem is the material used for the battle staff.
Naturally, to make it a magic conductor, considering the toughness and lightness as a material, Mythril is a choice, but the performance is still unsatisfactory.
However, after all, it loses to Black steel at the toughness and loses to Crystal if it about with the magic power amplification.
But Black steel is hopeless from incompatibility with magic power.
And Crystal is weak against impact, a bladed weapon maybe fine but you can't use it as a striking weapon.
Orichalc.u.m is a fully upgraded version of Mythril.
The only disadvantage that it is quite heavy compared with Mythril.
Somehow.......It has the strongest name and so I haven't tried it yet.
Not that I don't have any material, but I'm not interested in it, cause it's not interesting enough.
However, it's a matter of life and death, I can't just continue to ignore it.
No, wait? Why do not I try making an alloy of Orichalc.u.m and Mythril?
If it is an alloy with 2/3 Mythril and 1/3 Orichalc.u.m, will it be possible to acquire the toughness of Orichalc.u.m while maintaining the lightness of Mithril to some extent?
I got a good idea. Let's try.

That's why I'm going to try smelting by throwing Mythril and Orichalc.u.m ore into a smelting furnace.
For the first attempt, the smithing skill level 5 did a job. Mithril - Orichalc.u.m alloy was finished through complicated procedures and precise temperature adjustment.
When I looked at the finished ingot with Appraisal eyes, it was displayed as "G.o.d silver ingot".
Uh, what a fine chuunibyou material.
Maybe Orichalc.u.m seems to be called G.o.d's ore, and it seems that Mythril is also called Genuine silver, did this a mix-up?
Let's investigate toughness, hardness, weight, lightness and magic compatibility by putting magic power in ingot or tapping with heat.

According to the result, it is slightly heavier than Mythril, toughness improves hardness, magic compatibility is not as high as Orichalc.u.m, but you can store magic power much more than Mythril.
As a material for making battle staff, I like it.
Okay, I'll make a battle staff with this!
That's why I ma.s.s-produce G.o.d silver ingots.
In any case, the sword will also be reworked with this, making Mythril sword also a material for the ingot.
Eventually, I only used it to disa.s.sembled big hornet's nest.
I am sorry a little, but forgive me.

And, I strike G.o.d silver ingot.
It's harder than hitting Mythril, but it's a lot better than Orichalc.u.m and crystal.
Orichalc.u.m is simply hard and does not stretch easily, so it has to be struck again and again, so it is so troublesome.
As for Crystals because it will crumbles if you made a little mistake to the power adjustment and temperature adjustment.
In comparison, the G.o.d silver is an obedient and easy-to-use material.
However, since it is difficult to control the technique and temperature when making it into an alloy, it would be difficult for anyone other than me to make it.
Both ends of the staff are made slightly bigger to be a hitting part. If you stick a metal stick as it is, your hand seems to get numb when you hit a hard foe, should I wrap it with leather?
However, despite having a striking part, it is still looking plain. should I carve it for decoration?
Let's refer to that short sword from Mahr.

"Great!"(Taichi)

It showed as "G.o.d silver staff" when I use Appraisal eye on it.
Of course, the quality is "Supernatural" and the name is so straight, no twist.
It should be something like "Bogus Mythril staff". No, I am kidding.
When I was thinking about such a thing, the name that appeared as a "G.o.d silver staff" became "Bogus Mythril staff".
Eh, what is this? So interesting.
How about "Eternal Force staff". No, I'm sorry, I'm okay with "G.o.d silver staff".
That's why the name returned to "G.o.d silver staff".
Apparently, when I tried it with other things, I understood that the name of the thing I made can be changed.
I see, but can this be done with the people who have Appraisal eye only?

OK, should I make a sword next? Actually, there are ideas for the sword.
Make the "core" of the sword with Crystal and join it with the blade made by G.o.d silver.
At first, I was thinking of doing it with Orichalc.u.m, but I changed my mind because processing was troublesome.
However, if it is a G.o.d silver, processing is relatively easy and strength can be expected.
There is no choice but to do this.
That's why I make a Crystal sword core first.

Crystal is a strange substance that combines the properties of gla.s.s and metal.
It melts at high temperature is the same as gla.s.s, but it is far stronger than gla.s.s and can be strike with a hammer.
No, I do not know why, but I can do it.
It becomes transparent like gla.s.s when it cools down, but the Crystal gets blue when it gets cold enough.
And as blue becomes bluer, the amplification efficiency of magic power rises.
So I strike it, just pus.h.i.+ng too much strength will crush it and it will be useless, so you need to pay close attention.
Once I've made the "sword core" part, this time I will strike the G.o.d silver into the blade.
This processing is more difficult than I thought. It is necessary to make it without leaving any gaps.
If there is a gap, it will come off even if trying to join. Slight s.h.i.+fts are also not allowed.

I tried and failed over and over and it finally completed.

Even if it is a Smithing skill level 5 it is still necessary to repeat trial and error...... now I am afraid of my idea.
A bonded sword of G.o.d silver and Crystal with a blonde color blade and clear blue core that is finished.
The handle is slightly longer so that one hand or both hands can hold it, the length including the blade is about 130 cm.
The one-and-half-handed sword, b.a.s.t.a.r.d sword.
Nevertheless, what a chuunibyou force, there must be about two hundred thousand chuunibyou forces in this sword.

But this sword should have considerable power if I get the performance I expected.
When magic power pa.s.ses from the handle to the crystal sword core, amplification starts there.
The amplified magic power is stored in the blade of the G.o.d silver, and it releases a stronger magical power shot.
Of course, because it also has the ability as a conductor, if you use this guy to release magic, its power should be amplified considerably.
The problem is that we do not know how much power it has, so we can not use it in the city in a stupid way.
I'm scared if the power beyond expectation comes out and I cut my neighbor's house diagonally. There is a possibility that it will be so disappointed that I could cry too!
OK, let's name this sword. I want a ridiculous name.
Well, what shall I do? Cool names like Excalibur and Storm Bringer are good.
Oh, but wait. I do not yet know how much power it is, and I will not let it have a name yet.
If I stumble with a stupid name, it will turn into black history.
By the way, I heard that Sondark will have me go with the Knights soon to kill the monster.
OK, let's try it.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wow! What is that sword! It's beautiful!"(Marl)

When I went to the backyard with a "Bonded sword (temporary)", Marl came over to me.
Apparently, she seems to have been training the sword all the time, her cheek was red and rough breathing.
Flam was also in the corner of the backyard.

"I asked Flam-san to see my sword training!"(Marl)

Well, apparently, Flam's Sword skill is Level 3.
Were you acting a coach as Marl was swinging the sword?
Flam bowed silently on my gaze. I nodded as a response.

"This sword is the sword I tried making based on my idea, I thought about to try to swing it a bit."(Taichi)

So, I train along with Marl.
The feeling is not bad.
Since the quality is also "Supernatural", the balance of the blade is also great.
I tried put magic power through just a little bit, but it was amplified beyond my imagination and the magic power was stored in the blade.
What will happen if you send magic power with full power?
It is too scary to swing in town.
After that, I switched to a wooden sword and sparred with Marl to get some sweat.
Marl seems to challenge dual swords handling, she has boldly come at me with a wooden sword in both hands.
It was still a long way to go.
In this case, she is stronger with only one sword.

"Since Marl is still learning the foundation, it is better for you to do that kind of thing after training with a single sword a little more."(Taichi)
"I think so too, she is stronger when holding a single sword."(Flam)
"Mumumu, I understand"(Marl)

Flam and I nodded while Marl pouted
However, she does not seem to have given up. I think it is a good thing to have ambition.
After that, I wash the off sweat with Marl in the bath and have dinner.
Today was a steak with white rice, it was an egg and kelp soup.
It was a good meal. After all, rice is great.

At last, I finally had Marl wear the dancer costumes I bought.
The expressions of Marl that stained with shame are also very cute. It is more erotic than naked.
Removing is rude. So I enjoyed just s.h.i.+fting it.

It was really very nice.
But I regretted, having consciously flew at last part.

The next day, when I look at Marl's status, Origin magic was level 2.
Is this a cause?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three days later, we joined the Knight order to subjugation the monsters.
I'm not proud of this, but I never got on a horse before. I did not have a luxury hobby of riding horse.
They seem to use a horse to move during the subjugation.
If you can not ride a horse, you have to straddle behind the knight.
Marl had horse riding experience, but she was unable to make the horse move.
Therefore Marl must straddle behind the knight.
This is a problem by itself. That's why I raised the level of the Riding skill to level 2. With this remaining points is 1.

"Taichi-san, you said you never rode a horse, but you're amazingly good!"(Marl)
"Ha ha ha! For me, nothing is impossible!"(Taichi)

As a matter of fact, horse riding is useful not only for aesthetic purposes but also as a means of transport, so I decided to take a skill.
It's just a matter of hastening, yeah.
There is no such thing as I don't want to see Marl hugging the waist of a strange knight.

Well, let's stop joking around.
We are headed for Orc settlement now.
Orc is a monster like a pig-beast man with plenty body and face like a pig.
There are also races called beast men in this world, but these Orcs are like a beast just for appearance.
It is not possible to talk or discuss with them, they attack the human settlement in the herd and plunder.
It is not unusual for them to attack peddlers and caravans like bandits.
Also, they often breed with women of human species. It seems that the probability that a female being born is very low.
It is hard to destroy the village because it is much stronger than the goblins because of its physical strength, even a skilled adventurer will have a difficult time.

"It's an overview of Orc."(Marl)
"Is there a weak point?"(Taichi)
"Nothing to mention but, well, area magic seems to work well!"(Marl)

While talking about such thing we head for the basin where orc village is spotted.
It seems there was a town in this basin long ago, it seems that it was destroyed by the previous flooding.
Orc is using that as a base to ravaged around.
Until now it seems that they have managed to do something with only troublesome activities but with the knights, soldiers and adventurers who reside in neighboring villages and towns can suppress them.
But recently they activities have become fiercer.
As we are approaching the Great flooding.
It was decided to annihilate them by dispatching the Knight order.

"Hero-dono we will arrive at the campsite soon"
"Alright."(Taichi)

The knight in the front slow down and told me that.
Today we are going to stay overnight at the camp and next day around we will arrive at the orc settlement and make an attack.
Let's suppose that once you get to the camp, I will use barrier magic to cover the entire camp.
If I expand the range I should be able to manage it, cause today I didn't use magic at all.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"How do you think?"
"Well, I still haven't swung it, so no comment."
"It seems like Hero is the one who made this new sword too."
"The old sword can't be compared with the new sword for sure, but it is still unknown how much power as a Hero did he posses."
"We will see that tomorrow."
