Chapter 43 – One-Hit Kill Holy Spear

I tried to push back calmly, but Gale Tulle was blown away. It fell on the ground far away and is now difficult to recover… D*mn it!

As I was getting impatient, for some reason Havamar handed me the ‘Holy Spear Gungnir’.

“Here, Big brother.”

“Wait, aren’t you going to throw it?!”

“No no, it’s big brother’s job to fight. I’ll just support you.”

“What the heck?!”

Unexpectedly, it’s all up to me.

Oh well, it can’t be helped.

I pick up the unnecessarily shining spear in my hand.

It has no sense of weight and is quite light.

“Do your best! Big brother, you can defeat that Executioner!”

“Thanks for the encouragement, my little sister!”

I threw the holy spear.

The spear, which flew at super high speed, hits the Executioner’s body in an instant. A tremendous flash of light spreads out, instantly killing the enemy.

――Wait, what is this high firepower? Unbelievable! One-hit kill?!

“You did it, Big brother!”

She gave me a thumbs up and praises me… but I didn’t feel quite satisfied. Well, it’s good that I won. I obtained a ‘Sword (unidentified)’ as a drop item. I can’t appraise it yet, so I’ll send it to the warehouse for now.

Come to think of it, other unappraised items are also left unattended. I’d like to do something about it.

“Thanks for your help, Havamar.”

“No, no, I just did what I was supposed to do as a little sister.”

“But still, throw it yourself!”

“I’m not a fighting type.”

“Then what are you?”

“Hmm, if I were to compare it to a job class, I would say ‘Sorcerer’.”

In other words, a magician.

Certainly, the spear was created by magic. Besides, as far as I know, sorcerers can use such auxiliary magic. But leaving it all to others…oh well, whatever.

I picked up Gale Tulle and carried it on my shoulder.

“Big brother, big brother! You might be able to mine iron ore from the rocks around here!”

“Really? Alright, let’s give it a try.”

There was a rock some distance away.

I decided to try chipping off some of it.

Let’s see…

I strike the rock with “Spearhead Pick” again and again, chipping it away. Only ‘stones’ were collected, but… oh? Occasionally, ‘iron ore’ could be obtained.

Iron ore x3.

I got a small amount. I see, it seems to come out with a low probability. There are a lot of rocks in the cave, so I decided to keep digging.

◆

“Good work, big brother. Let’s take a break.”

Since then, I’ve been digging nonstop with concentration. I entrusted Havamar with the overweight “stones” and had her carry them as a porter. So she was mostly just watching.

Judging from the condition of my stomach, it’s already late at night. I feel like eating something. Let’s head back home for now and continue tomorrow.

“This is what we got today.”

“86 pieces of iron ore. With this much, you can make ‘iron’.”

I thought I worked pretty hard, but all I got was that much iron ore. On the other hand, I ended up with an incredible 1221 pieces of stone. With this much, I might not need to collect stones for a while.

Outside the cave, the sky was already full of stars.

There were so many shooting stars…I wonder if wishes really do come true.

“Big brother… I’m tired.”

“Oi oi, Havamar. Weren’t you just standing there mostly?”

“I, I’m not used to going out so much…”

“I see. Then, I’ll give you a piggyback ride.”

“P, Piggyback?”

I sat down in front of Havamar. I told her to get on. Havamar got on cautiously, and I lifted her up.

“There you go.”

“Wow… Big brother.”

“You’re really light.”

As I was surprised by how light she was, Havamar on my back was strangely quiet. I wonder where her usual energy went.

“Big brother… You know, my real name is ‘Saz of Truth’. If you could call me that… I’d be happy.”

“Is that so? But, you know, Havamar is Havamar, I can’t change it now.”

“Aww… Then, please call me that someday.”

“You sometimes break character.”

“S-shut up!”

Havamar was flapping around and I almost dropped her. It was dangerous. Well, it was surprising that she had a real name. “Saz”, huh? That sounds more like a girl’s name. Yeah, I’ll call her that someday.
