CH 506

So we arrived safely at Arjan-san’s place and stepped into his workshop.

“Is Arjan-san there?”

“Hello!”

“Yes, welcome. Isn’t it Lars-san? Erm, It’s the master, right, over here ……”

The apprentice welcomed us and led us to the back of the workshop, where Arjan-san was sleeping beside the largest cooking stove and a large sword with a bright red blade was propped up.

“This is …… the greatsword made from Roza’s claws?”

“It’s so polished, that it looks like jewelry.”

“Wake up, master. Lars-san is here.”

“Hmm? O-Ohhhh …… Fuah …….”

When Luciel muttered as if she’s impressed, Arjan-san, who was woken up by his apprentice, looked at us and his eyes blinking, then he sat up at once.

“Uoooh!? L-Lars! I’m glad you came. I’m sorry you had to see me like that.”

“I don’t mind. Anyway, this is …….”

“Yeah! Honestly, I’d say it’s my best work yet.”

“This is great, it’s too good for Ryuuze, so why don’t you give it to Dedite-kun?”

“W-We can’t do that, Sis …… It’s the material that Roza-san gave for Ryuuze-kun, after all.”

“Oh, Luciela and Luciel sisters! It’s been a while since I’ve seen you. You’re huge now!”

“H-Hey, stop it!?”

“Ehehe, it’s been a while.”

When Luciel was rebuking Luciela’s reckless declaration, Arjan-san noticed the sisters and patted them on the head, causing Luciela to panic and run away.

“‘Shut up, Sarge! Just because you’re on good terms with Roza doesn’t mean you should get carried away.”

“Who are you, bro? I’ve never seen you before. Are you Luciela’s boyfriend?”

“Oh, he is Sarge. He’s the one who first gave me the dragon material.”

“A-A dragon? No matter how I look at him, he’s a human.”

When he transformed into a miniature size, Arjan-san gulped and stared at Sarge

“Wow …… I wonder what’s going to happen to Lars and the others ……”

“We’re going to save the country now, you know? Nice to meet you, I’m Helena, Lars’ friend from school.”

“I-I’m Milfy!”

“Nice to meet you! You ladies are looking very neat. You should learn from them, Luciela.”

“Geez! Shut it!”

As I smiled at that sight, Lilith approached the sword and muttered. 

“Hmmmm, it’s like Surt’s flame sword.”

“Surt …… from the Norse mythology?”

“Yeah, it’s not the same as ours, but it’s close in the sense that it’s mystical.”

“Mystical ……”

“What, Makina! What are you going to do with my good looks!?”

“She’s starting to look more and more like Basleigh-sensei …… So, what’s a Surt?”

“Ohhhhh …….”

I told them the story from my memory and Lilith’s supplement.

“Yeah, it’s about gods fighting gods.”

“Well, I can’t say for sure because it’s made up, but it’s interesting.”

“So this Surt guy has a sword of fire.”

“That’s right.”

“You know a lot, Lars. I’m convinced since you’ve always been smart, though.”

When Makina smiles at me and says that, Milfy notices that Urka is thinking with his hand on his chin and calls out to him. 

“What’s wrong, Urka-san?”

“What? Oh, it’s about God. We get our skills from God, right? I was wondering if they can do anything about this kind of problem.”

“Oh, come to think of it, Regal told before that God has disappeared.”

” “What!?” “

When I simply said that, everyone in the room froze. Ah, was it okay to say that ……?

“The skills are supposed to be given to you if you perform a ritual at the age of five. Do you know anything about it, Lilith?”

“…… We’ve only been summoned to this world, so we don’t know what’s going on here. If there’s anyone who knows, it’s probably Regal? She says she’s a demon too, but I don’t know her well enough …… Ha, y-you didn’t hear that, okay ……”

“You shouldn’t have said that ……”

Regal, huh …… She gave me [Super Jack-of-all-Trades] and also helped me, but she’s also a mystery, isn’t she? Actually, it could be …… there’s that pattern too, but since Basleigh-sensei trusts her, I’m sure it’ll be fine. 

“Well, that God? I think it’s complete form is close to this sword. I mean, it was hard to take care of the Burn Dragon’s material, you know …… It was made two days ago.”

“It took you that long, Arjan-san?”

“Yeah, I’ve got to admit, I’m a little ticked off that you keep bringing me these troublesome materials, you know? Hahaha! Well, that’s just a joke. I’m grateful to you guys for letting me do something funny, thanks. So, as you can see, this greatsword is red. But it’s not just red.”

“Ah!?”

When Arjan-san poured water on the sword, steam rose from it and it evaporated.

“So, as you can see, the sword is covered in heat, and when you put magic power into it, its temperature rises. Try it out, Lars, hold it.”

“O-Okay.”

I do as I’m told, and I picked up the greatsword, and when I put my magic power into it, it heats up so hot that Makina and the others falls back. 

“Try touching that to this.”

When I put the tip of the knife on the thick steel plate that Arjan-san had provided, it melted like butter ……

“Uwah ……!?”

“Isn’t that bad ……!?”

“But this is an incredibly powerful weapon. But isn’t it hard to sheath it when it gets this hot?”

“That’s right. So I used the same material on the inside, wrap it with a heat-resistant material, and then cover it with leather. Here it is.”

“Whoa. I see, this is a pretty good one too.”

“Whew …… That was scary.”

When I stopped putting the magic power and put it in the scabbard, the heat disappeared and Luciel made a relieved voice, and Luciela stood beside me and looked at the greatsword.

“I think I can fight with this one? Hey Arjan-san, do you have any more materials?”

“Just in case, I made a dagger and a shortsword out of what little I had left.”

“Oh, you made them. Hmm, I wonder if Roza will give me some more materials.”

“Do you have some idea?”

While Luciela was thinking, Milfy and Urka were fussing over the dagger and shortsword.

“This is great too! I think you should change your weapon too, Urka-san?”

“I think I should get a new weapon too? Since Ogure-san is here, Sarge’s dagger is fine, but ……”

“It would be nice if we could get enough for everyone. Let’s see ……”

And just as I was about to grab the dagger, it was snatched from my side.

“Aha♪. This is good. I think I can use this one.”

“You can’t, Helena, we have to give this to the ones who will fight.”

“Ehhhh, Luciela won’t go, right?”

“Naru can use the dagger. Helena has Sarge’s dagger, right?”

“Buuu.”

She handed me the dagger back, smiling boldly as she held the shortsword. I have a bad feeling about this, but …… while I’m thinking about it Sarge, Luciel, and Makina are coming over to me.

“And the armor that the craftsmen over there made! I couldn’t make it over here, so I had them make it for me first.”

“No problem …… As expected of the blacksmith in the Reflexion royal capital, it’s flawless …… But it also have a soft spot …… So which are the materials? What do you want me to do?”

“Erm, with this–.”

I took out the rubber material and began to explain it to Arjan-san.

Arjan-san smiled and said, “You’re still the same,” and handed him the rubber material and Sarge’s material. Arjan-san is still a good person, isn’t he ……
