146 Episode 94: Holy Sword Forge and Cave

We made sure the whole forest fire went out. We entered the Silf Forest and rushed to the Devil's Sword Blacksmith.

I've been burned by fire for less, I've been desperate to escape, and I don't have a lot of demon sword blacksmith's remaining HP. If demons and beasts attack you in this situation, you will die.

Even if not, the sudden heavy rain is soaking wet all over your body and seems to be depriving you of your strength. It's my fault.

"How can humans fly in the sky?!?

"Jen, it's you..."

So...

A caorle is still screaming that doesn't get me used to it.

I've returned the Blues, so I'm using my previous Wings of the Immortal (Nosferatu) and moving over the Silf Forest.

Walking through the woods is basically a waste of time, isn't it?

Except, of course, when you need me in the woods.

Then we flew for a little while and arrived at the point where the Devil's Sword Blacksmith was.

Fortunately, demons and beasts are not around. Come to think of it, don't let the demons and beasts that live there escape when the forest is on fire. You don't think about hunting a guy who's running late.

"Yes, arrival"

"Finally..., we're here..."

Caorle squeaks as he steps down to the ground.

When I was putting him on the blue, the last one seemed somewhat used to it, but he seemed to be a lot more relaxed than being carried in The Wings of the Immortal (Nosferatu).

Sakura, which was carried in the same way, is a familiar thing.

By the way, Dora and Maria used you because they had their own means of flight.

"This is... terrible..."

"Ugh, it's terrible..."

Mimi, the demon sword blacksmith lying on the ground, looked terrible.

The legs are burned to bits by the flames, barely in the condition you can tell they were legs.

Not as bad as the lower body, but the upper body is also harder to find where it's safe.

For once, he seems conscious, but he seems hazy and the focus of his eyes is uncertain.

"In the meantime, 'heels'!

It sucks pretty bad HP, so I'll try not to 'heel' to death first.

When Mimi realized we existed, she looked up at us with her vain eyes.

At that moment, I felt something reacted with 'Chilli'.

A: Mimi has used her skills. I left it because of the low impact.

Speaking of which, there was something. It's not like I can see the status, I didn't care because they just roughly know the value of the stuff......

"... God... Dear...?

"Ah!?

Look at me, look at Mimi whining 'God', Maria got upset for some reason.

Sure, the 'god' call is unpleasant, but you haven't made a cynical decision enough to react to the hallucinations of those whose consciousness is hazy.

"I'm not a god. He's a normal person."

"Huh!?

"Huh?

"Huh......!?

When I returned it to Mimi, Maria, Dora and Sakura raised the question mark for some reason. Hey, Cora.

"People... between...? That's why..."

Shortly afterwards, Mimi fainted to sleep over whether the limits had come.

"Well... what are we going to do?

"Master Jen, would you please leave that person with me?

When I was thinking about what I was going to do with Mimi, Maria came to me saying that with serious eyes.

Oh, I know these eyes. Same pattern as the maid length (Lucea).

... that's when you made Lucea a fine believer in a gap I've been away from for a while.

"What are you going to do?

"Yes. I will tell you about us in a limited way and let you choose whether to report to Jen or not. If it is to be distributed, it will recover the deficiencies, if it does not, it will be taken to where it wants to be, where it will be freed. If you don't want defect recovery, it will be difficult to return as a blacksmith, so I don't think Jen's wishes will come true either. I wonder what it would be like to annoy Jen to give these explanations, so I'd like to do it myself."

"I see..."

This time, they can't be forced into slavery because they're not saying they're hostiles.... or I don't want to.

However, it is also hesitant to recover the defect if it is not handed down and stopped.

I can't make it back to the blacksmith unless I recover the defect, so it won't come true to see my purpose, the Devil's Sword and the Holy Sword.

And to explain it, Mimi wants Maria to keep it. Sure, it's convincing content, but Lucea's face really comes to mind.

Especially since neither Maria nor Lucea is going to say anything directly to me that would make me uncomfortable, and it's not like there's a big problem. However, there are more and more believers (maids)......

Instead, I'm wondering if it's that easy to get more followers, so you might want to deposit it here and see how it goes. Now if Mimi becomes a light believer, she will be applauded.

I'm slightly concerned about the 'God' call......

"My...... name is Mimi...... Please... give me... to your... servant..."

Two hours after I helped Mimi, I went back to Castar's mansion and was playing with Dora on the couch, and Mimi, who was brought to Maria, said so on her knees.

It was quite interruptive and had a faint voice on the last one.

By the way, Dora is sleeping on my lap, so I can't get up.

Maria and the others must have taken care of it. Mimi's defect is fully recovered.

And, naturally, the unit color on the map is yellow. Yes, he was becoming a believer.

You're going to be a believer lighter than you thought... It's early.

"Dear Jen, she has chosen to be Jen's me (servant) herself. Could you use < contractual bond (engagement link) > as a subordination, not as a slave?

"Oh, okay..."

Reach for Mimi as Maria urges.

You have to finger-cut with them to use the Contract Bond (Engagement Link) to distribute them.

Dora's on board, so I can't move. That's why we have to get Mimi close.

"Excuse me... I will..."

Saying so, Mimi kneels even closer and tangles her own pinky finger in my pinky finger.

I activated the contract bond and subordinated Mimi.

As it is, remove the and from Mimi's skills. It's a skill that doesn't have a single good thing to do, so it's only natural to remove it.

Mimi probably stares at me with a feverish gaze.

"Now Mimi is under my command. Mimi, it's my pleasure to meet you."

"Yes..., it's nice to meet you..."

Mimi is sometimes referred to as a dwarf and is low in height. I would have just said if there was a precise 120cm. My breasts are bigger than I need them for. comparable to Serra, but becomes more pronounced than necessary considering the ratio to height. Wouldn't it get in the way when you do blacksmiths?

I have long hair tied to one in the back, and my eyes get the impression of tenderness with saggy eyes.

"So you heard about your skills, didn't you?

"Yes...... I'm surprised… but… but looking back on my life… I'm convinced… I'm done…"

As expected, yes, but Mimi's life seemed to be a streak of bad luck.

I was born to nobility in this country, but I seemed to get scattered about falling in with minor mistakes, wholesale destinations crumbling to a halt if I wanted to rebuild with my blacksmith arms, and parents dying in accidents if I wanted to live carefully with my three parents and children.

Sakura, the unfortunate character, also has a face on this.

"When my parents... died... I struck into the blacksmith to forget that sadness... At that time... the Devil's Sword... could be done..."

He said the only thing he could do at that time was say 'Demon Sword Ember'.

The effect of that demon sword was to say fix the defect in the corpse (...). I guess my parents' deaths were sad and I wanted them to come back to life.

But all you can do with that demon sword is heal the wounds on the body.

When the wound healed, he hoped, 'Maybe he'll come back to life,' but the result would go without saying.

That said, there is a lot of demand just to say that it will eliminate the wounds on the body.

Though she became famous as a blacksmith who could make the Devil's Sword, strangely, that's the only place where she doesn't make things any better. Oh, this is because of skills, isn't it?

Unable to create the Devil's Sword again, Mimi came to the 'Silf Forest' to escape when she realized she was unhappy with the people around her.

This is what Mimi said when she was 14. For five years now, they've been fighting demons in these woods, sometimes traveling to the city to sell weapons they've made. Powerful.

But at the price of it, I have been extremely less able to deal with people, and I can no longer talk to people properly...

I mean, make it difficult to communicate and say pro.

Even now, he's pretty forced to talk because he's in front of me.

Note that Sakura's expression is very dark.

I wonder if you have similar experiences.

"Today... accidentally put out the furnace fire... forgot to put it out... go out... unluckily burn to something... When I get back to pick up my parents' shapes... it looks like..."

Perhaps "I accidentally forgot to extinguish the furnace fire" is the effect of < Tragic trigger (trigger happy) >, and "unluckily burned to something" is the effect of < unlucky >.

That's why we're going to have the worst possible synergy.

"I'm not living a hard life..."

"That too...... today...... is over...... Kami... to Jen... thank you so much..."

You almost said 'God' now, didn't you?

"We're going to have her become our own blacksmith in the future. That said, they can't even make it to the Epic (Legendary) level, so I think gear for the distribution will be the focus"

"I will do everything in my power... to make a weapon... Sooner or later... for Jen's weapon... I will try to make something unbeatable..."

When I heard Maria's explanation and Mimi's declaration, I remembered my original purpose.

"That's right. Mimi, can you make me a holy sword in there? You wanted to know what you could do."

I wanted Mimi to make the Devil's Sword, or the Holy Sword. Given the conditions of the Devil's Sword, it's not like I can tell you to make it easy.

Especially at a time when strong emotions are demanded, there is no easy way for the Holy Sword to do so.

"Ok...... I'll take care of it............ Maria......, where is the blacksmith......?

Mimi nodding vigorously. My breasts shake in abundance.

"Well, I'm going to show Mimi around."

"No, not right now..."

Stop Mimi and Maria, who started moving right after I asked them to.

"Now…, even the Holy Sword… anything… I feel I can make… I will…"

"Oh well..."

If he is declared full of energy, he can also be stopped by boulders.

Thus Mimi and Maria made their way to the prepared blacksmith.

"You're surprisingly positive...... You said you were in pretty unfortunate sight..."

Sakura whines as she watches Mimi.

"It's not just Mimi...... Maria, Mio and Sella are all the people who have been misfortunate to see...... But they're all alive now..."

"Mio and Sella are going to the canteen."

Maria was injured, Mio was sent to the mine, and Serra bought a place where she was dying of starvation.

The slaves, who were originally sold at the same abandoned value, are now touring the food shops in exotic lands.

… it is quite amazing to think calmly.

"Compared to that, it would be really pathetic to drag things to the point where they were being jerked off forever..."

Apparently, Sakura has seen worse than herself, but now she's getting back on her feet and looking at the vibrant girls, and there's something to think about.

It's been quite a while since I've come to this world. But Sakura's trauma switch is still alive.

Quite infrequently, but still not completely healed. Sakura seems to feel sorry for herself like that.

However, there are parts of Sakura that are understandable but unconvincing.

"Isn't that true?

"Huh...?

Sakura looks at me with a surprise at how unexpected my words were.

"That's what my best friend with a wide friendship was saying, but it doesn't seem easy to heal to say the wound I got with a jerk. So it's natural to drag them for a long time."

"Really...?

My best friend Asai had a broad friendship and was sometimes called to deal with relationship problems. Some of them were said to be follow-ups to the victims of figs.

Me? There's no way you're gonna get that trouble following me around, is there? If it comes around, it's a complete misnomer, that's it.

"He said, 'The act of turning malice into a shattering spirit'. You also said that broken or broken minds can be healed to their original form, but that it is difficult to heal shattered minds."

One more thing. There are stories that say 'healing a distorted mind (thing) doesn't really go back to its original form', but it won't have to be said because it has nothing to do with the Sakura matter.

I mean, what kind of bullying victims has Asai seen? I'm a little concerned now.

……………………

Sakura is listening to me in silence.

"Indeed, if we look on a scale that says the world, we will find more unfortunate humans than Sakura like mountains. But that doesn't lead to the rationale that the scratches you received are shallow. I can't feel sorry for my broken heart."

"Really, do you think...?

"Oh, at least I think so. That said, it's not like it's healthy for a heart wound to keep hurting. If I could, I'd like you to heal your heart's wounds. Of course, if there's anything I can do, I'm willing to help."

I wouldn't hesitate to cooperate if I were to heal Sakura's heartbreak.

And if Sakura and I work together, most things will be feasible due to that incompetence.

"Jen-jun... What should I do......?

Sakura, who listens to my words and looks like trouble and asks.

"It's Sakura who decides that. All I can do is help Sakura with whatever she wants. It's the only thing you can do to decide what to do."

…………

Sakura, who will be silent again, but now he seems to be thinking a little bit of leaning down and a lot of things.

I have no hesitation in cooperating, but I can't decide what you want. What it can do is it doesn't exist in this world other than Sakura.

"Can I let you think for a while...?

"Oh, think slowly. Luckily, there's plenty of time."

"Yes."

At the corner, we can live in different worlds without being chased to study or work.

I want you to think carefully and make a choice that you don't regret.

After talking to Sakura, Asha read to me a while later.

Apparently, the carriage has arrived at the second recommended spot.

We've reached our destination.

Okay. I'm on my way. "

Gather the members who were originally in the carriage, including Maria, who finished guiding Mimi, and head to Asha and the others on the 'Portal'.

By the way, Caorle hasn't come to the mansion because he's putting Mimi back in the carriage around the time he rescued her.

"Welcome to Norm's Cave."

"It's still like a cave entrance here, though."

Caorle and Asha greeted us as we left the carriage after making the transfer to the "portal" in the carriage.

That's in front of a horizontal hole a little climb up the little mountain.

Recommended sightseeing in Tool and Caol (?) Spot. Its name is also 'The Cave of the Gnome'.

Located to the north from the capital, this cave is home to rare ores and rare demons. However, there is a history that demons living in this cave were too strong to see from ordinary humans, so few people came and went, and no villages or other were created around them.

For this reason, this is not called a 'pit road'. It is unfortunate that "Norm's Pit" personally prefers a sense of speech.

"Well, shall we explore this cave?"

"Dear Jen, at the beginning I..."

That's what Maria stands in front of me.

There are no demons near the entrance, so Maria leads the way for me, Caorle, Sakura and Dora.

Even so, "Cave of the Gnome" in "Silf Forest"? Now if there was a land bearing the name of Salamander or Undine, it would be a totally western-style fantasy world.

Even though it is a complete Japanese-style region......

"I really wanted to go to Undine Fountain and Salamander Volcano too. But we don't have time to give up..."

Caorle shrugged as he proceeded surrounded by SP because of his low combat ability.

"Do you have..."

"Jen, is something wrong...?

"No, it's nothing"

Apparently, the names of the fantasy people are really being used.

Yes, yes, brave, brave.

Moving on for a while, demonic reactions have increased on the map.

Sounds like it's time for a fight.

"They say there are a lot of hard guys here. I want you to show me what your lords are capable of! Specifically, I want to see Lord Jen slash with a knife!

"If it's about the demons here, I'm enough on my own. I won't let you bother me."

"I'm sorry to hear that..."

Maria, come on!

Apparently, Caorle wanted to see me use a knife.

However, Maria's < overprotective > skills were forced to activate and the opportunity was lost.

Well, I was talking about that, and the sound caught me and a few demons approached me.

That's right. Cave sounds, so you shouldn't talk inadvertently, should you?... As always, we are not too nervous.

Well, this is the status of the first demon in The Cave of the Gnome.

Metal alligator

LV32

Physical attack resistance...

"Ha!"

At the next moment, the five silver crocodiles were to be split up and down by Maria's flash.

As a result of being too strong, we didn't even have time to read the status to the end.

… is this what you call the end of strength?

"Dear Jen, it's over. We've recovered the body, so let's keep moving."

"Ooh, thank you..."

If you look, the crocodiles' bodies have already been recovered, leaving no trace of even the battle.

There were more than 10 meters to where the crocodiles were, but they moved in an instant, slaughtered them, and returned in an instant. As always, he is a clever child.

"And I knew it, but I did, it's too awesome -..."

"There is no such thing as instantly killing someone to that extent. If you drill under Master Jen's command, you will be able to do what I am now."

"It's too awesome..."

I was too surprised to find Caorle's vocabulary scarce.

I just want to say one thing.

Because Maria's the only one who can do it the way she does it now, right?

As it continued, the rate of encounters with demons gradually increased.

The demons in this cave, many of which cover the surface with hard metallic objects, seem rather troublesome for ordinary adventurers to deal with.

Many demons have 'metal' or 'iron' on the head of their names, which can predict the approximate hardness.

"Ha!"

Of course, there's no way Maria's slaughter can be prevented to that extent. Because I've broken a very hard giant demon that still says' Tungsten Titans'.

... or do you have? Tungsten?

"So it's time to do some mining"

Now that we're in a slightly open space, it sounds like it would be a good idea to make this a mining point.

"It's really hard to let Jen do that..."

As for Maria, she doesn't want me to do 'work' like mining.

They say everything you said that's part of the maid squad....... I think there will be a difference of opinion as to whether 'mining' is a 'maid' job.

"Okay? This is what I want to do."

"Yes, I understand that"

Anything, it seems that various gems and precious metals can be mined in this' Gnome Cave '.

I don't want jewelry. But you're here for the real thing about corner mining, so not doing mining here would disqualify you as a tourist.

I can't help it now, but "Silf Forest" seems to have taken a variety of high quality medicinal herbs.

The fire wasted a lot of money, and I didn't mean to let Mimi go and collect it...

You'd better secure it later to feed it to Doriad's middleman.

And it is also true that when there is high quality material in "Cave of the Gnome" and "Silf Forest," I wonder what is in "Fountain of Undine" and "Volcano of Salamander".

That said, I don't plan on heading that way, so I don't have any material collection or anything.

A: I'll take care of everything.

What is everything!?

A: Herb collection for 'Silf Forest'. Seaweed from The Fountain of Undine, a collection of rare fish. This is a collection of rare ore from "The Volcano of Salamander".

It was really everything!

... Well, should we not overdo it and collapse the ecosystem or something? Alta, I got it.

A: Yes, I'll take care of it.

Well, let's say it's time to start mining in earnest.

I'll take out the tsuruhashi I've prepared. Let's put aside whether or not tsuruhashi is appropriate for mining gems.

"Soya!

I wave down against the proper wall.

"Kickin '!" When I think I hear a hard object bump, the polarity and the surface of the wall peel off.

I pick up the falling shards and poke them a few times. Then the rock shards on the surface peeled off and a yellow-glowing gem appeared from inside.

Spirit Shining Stone

Notes: Required for a contract with the Spirit by. The magnitude of the "Spirit's Shining Stone", which becomes necessary according to the strength of the Spirit, also changes.

"Fair enough."

"What have you done now -!!!??"

When I check the results of the battle and snort, the caorle screams with a face like the one I've seen even in weird objects.

Behind it, Asha also looks puzzled.

What the hell is wrong with you?

"I knew it, but my husband is outrageous, isn't he? Because I don't use maps."

"Jen, it's you..."

So...

Sakura and Dora are used to it, though Asha looks like she's stunned.

Yeah, Asha's right, I'm not using the map right now. More precisely, should we say that we are not searching the map for the location of the gem?

Well, you don't have to do that all the time, if you shake it properly, you can dig about the jewels...

With Asha and Sakura explaining to the caorle on their asses, I'll be working my way out again.

Sakura, Asha, and Kaoru don't seem interested in mining, but Dora seems a little interested, waving a tsuruhashi with me.

I've been mining for a while, but I feel like the gems around here have been diminishing, so I'll stop my hand.

It's not a good idea to pick too much. Especially with the strong demons there all around, it's not true that you don't need to be so concerned because there won't be many things you can do to get the sperm out of mining.

By the way, the demons are sliced by Maria in an instant when they get somewhat closer.

"Okay, I guess this is it"

"It's a tremendous amount of gems. This is all we have."

"Dear Jen, what are you planning to do with this gem?

Maria has asked me about the use of gems.

Hmm, because mining is an end in itself, you didn't think deeply about the use of the gems you got.

"Shall I give" Spirit's Shining Stone "to Claude and the Adventurers, and to Julia, who uses Spirituality, to be precise? I don't care what other jewels you put on the market via the Advanced Chamber of Commerce."

"Spirit Shining Stone" is also flowing to the market, and if you want to sell it, you can sell it, but there are people inside you who use it, so I want to prioritize you.

"Okay."

That being said, Maria treats the jewels arranged on the ground as < infinite storage (inventory) >.

"Oh, wait, because I'll keep only the biggest guy in" Spirit's Shining Stone ""

"Yes, do as Jen wills"

Transfer the maximum size Spirit Shining Stone from the shared space within to my personal space.

Before, Claude and the others created a move called "Spiritualization" that merges with the Spirit. Sounds like a special attack and you wanted to try it once.

It's not like I really want to sign a contract, but you can keep about one for when you get a chance.

"Well, it's getting late, let's go camping outside the cave"

Do you have Mio?

"It's okay...... In… because it is in the item box…"

All you have to do is eat dinner and go to bed.... Oh, shall I give you about a nail before then?

I send eye contact for Maria.

"I heard things from the other side. Maybe it's a demon, so I'll take a look."

Maria nodded at my eye contact and said so and moved to the entrance.

"Nah!?

"Oh, you were definitely Atri from the udon shop, weren't you? How did you get here?

I can't see from here, but apparently Maria managed to secure her tracker, Ninja Atri, real name Hannah.

Hannah's guy, he's been chasing after us and keeping tabs on us, hasn't he?

I also thought if I put it in "Norm's Cave," it wouldn't come with me, but I'm going to talk about not having anything to do with that. It's dark in the cave, but the sound sounds so it should be hard to track...

You seemed confident in your own covert actions.

By the way, I know because I have a map, but I dare say I decided to 'notice it by sound'. 'Cause ninjas don't look tearful when they're noticed by sound, do they?

"Maria! Was there someone there?

"Yes, Master Jen. There was an Atri who worked at the end udon shop."

When I spoke, Maria pulled Hannah's hand and came back here.

Hannah is dressed like a town daughter and mismatches the cave are not the norm.

"What did Atri come to do in this cave? We're here to see the sights, to exorcise and mine demons."

"Uh..."

It is an unnoticed gesture to see you here.

Looks like 12, contents 24-year-old Kunoichi, what the hell kind of excuse would you give me?

... In this way, don't wear it slightly with Mio (8 years old in flesh, 24 years old in contents).

"Wow, I'm here to mine too... See, I can pick rare gems around here..."

Mm, excuses are normal and boring. Want to try a little rough?

"Heh, really? But are you okay? Sounds like the demons are pretty strong around here, though?

"Yeah, yeah. It's okay. I'm still good at hiding."

It is also true that Hannah has never fought before due to her skills.

"Uh, I see. Atri is a ninja, isn't she? Then I'm convinced you're good at it."

Atri gives a startled look when he finds out he's a ninja.

... I don't think so. If a ninja puts an upset on his face that easily.

By the way, even in the Izmo Republic it is not a common profession to say ninja.

It's a rumor-level existence of 'Apparently He's Here', and if I say it, it's like an urban legend.

"Hey, what are you talking about?

"Oh, well. It's not a good idea to find out what a ninja is. Make sure you didn't ask me that."

"Hey!? Really I..."

"I know. I know. You're not a ninja."

Show understanding by blocking Hannah from trying to do a good translation.

It's an advanced technique of making them look like they've shown understanding and sealing off their excuses.

It is also the usual means if you do not understand it at all in your heart. Ruthless.
