51 - The New Sword

"We've been waiting for you."

He meets up with Galahad and others and visits Luba's home and workshop. He is greeted with words of thanks for his long wait, and is shown a sword of exceptional value.

"Thank you, old man!　I appreciate it!"

"Thank you very much.

The two of them are receiving the gift with big smiles on their faces.

"Only my sword has different characteristics.

Galahad's broad, thick sword, Eagle's one- or two-handed sword. And the gracefully curved sword that was given to me.

"You are not going to defeat Ferdowsi with a sword, are you?　Instead of the ability to slay illusionary systems, I drew on other abilities that are more versatile."

So, Ferphasi is an illusionary creature. I had imagined wraiths and ghosts from the story that physics is not understood.

A sword struck with a moonlight stone. Sword for Homura struck by Ruba the Divine Master.

The sword skill is increased by 1.1 times due to the effect of rating 10.

By the way, the sword that Luba gave me is Rank 22 and has 229 attack power.

The highest rank of the weapon I have seen in the commission is Rank 30, attack power around 300. Considering the fact that until a short while ago, when Luba gave me my first sword, it had an attack power of around 100 at best, it is amazing how far production workers have come.

The equipment ranks are as follows: up to Rank 5, any job can be equipped with a weapon with no level limitation, up to Rank 9, no level limitation if it has appropriate skills and if either the main or sub is an appropriate job, and then Rank 10 for Level 10, Rank 11 for 11, and so on. If you have only appropriate skills, you are restricted to equip at Rank 19.

I can equip only up to Rank 32. No, you can equip it, but your ability will be greatly reduced, and if it is too bad, you will suffer from reflex damage. There are various ways to remove the equipment rank limitation.

Swords of Galahad and Eagle have <<> in their material properties. Naturally, they do not have the equipment rank limit removal, but instead they have <>, which means that the closer to the full moon, the higher the ability of the sword is.

As for my <>, it resets after a break, but its attack power increases with the number of demons you slay, an effect suitable for long-term battles. Thankfully, does not decrease the base value, and the damage value may decrease and the sharpness may decrease, but it will not be broken and lost. Since it has a much higher rank than the enemies in this area, the damage value should not decrease as much. 100/100, damage value/foundation value.

Oh, I have to raise the level of [Concealment].

"Honestly, I don't think I deserve it, but thank you."

It was a sword for me, after all, and Luba laughed in satisfaction when I accepted it without reservation.

Then there was a banquet.

I was expecting to start here with a desk, but instead I was led to a room in the back with a carpeted sofa and a low table.

"There's a guy who rolls on the floor every time."

"Ha ha!　Moderate your drinking, Eagle."

You.

A single elbow to the tail.

He sets the food on the table with a sideways glance.

Fried chicken, fish and chips, squid rings. Aoba bonito tataki, fried horse mackerel, horse mackerel sashimi (no wasabi, so ginger), caprese, pizza, roast beef, tails soup.

"Wow!"

"There's plenty more where that came from, so you'll have plenty to eat."

Chilled black beer, whiskey, and sake.

"Luba, I don't know if this will suit your palate, but drink it for the sword."

The other sake is placed on the table and the sake is handed to Luba. The sake was handed to Ruba.

By the way, Junmai Daiginjo (Nama) was made with a rating of 10. Does "nama" mean "freshly made"?　I don't know about sake. There seems to be a dry and a sweet, but when I drink it by myself, both are sake!　I'll look into the differences in production methods after ....... For when I get rice again. The one I have now is no good because I make it into rice.

I thought that "hi-shu" meant spirits with high alcohol content such as vodka, brandy, shochu, etc., since they burn when lit on fire, but they made a beer with high alcohol content and named it <>. No, it looks flammable too, so I guess it's right to call it fire wine.

"Oh, this is also ......"

"What the hell is that?　Is that alcohol, too?"

Ruba pours it for Galahad, who shows interest.

"Clear?　I've never had a drink like that before."

"Oh, me too."

Camilla and Eagle also tasted the wine.

"What is it, melon?　Peaches?　The aroma is so fruity."

I like this one better.

"You're thanking Luba, don't be shy."

"No problem, I like this one better."

It turns out that Luba prefers sake, Galahad fire sake, Eagle cold black beer, and Camilla wine. I wonder if Galahad is okay with being a weaker drinker than Luba.

"Homura gave me good food and drink, and Ruba worked hard to raise the level of the spirits and give them grants, so as long as I don't screw up too badly, I'm sure I'll be able to get down from Ferphasi, so I'll dive into the labyrinth with all my might starting tomorrow. 〜〜〜〜

<

"Well, it's dinner time, and I don't drink, so I guess I'll eat.

While the three of us were getting into a lively discussion about sake, I started to take out a beef bowl ！！！！

The rice, soy sauce, and Junmai Daiginjo sake transformed the ribs we got today into something wonderful.

"Homura, what is it?"

It's my dinner.

"Homura, what kind of food is this?"

"...... is a beef bowl."

Galahad asked me, Camilla sat down snugly beside me and leaned with her hand on my elbow, and Eagle asked me with a fresh smile. Luba watches, smiling.

I'd like to tell Camilla that my breasts are hitting her, but she says, "I'm just guessing," or "I'm doing it on purpose," or "Really?" I can't say it, because I might get a response like, "I don't know, I'm not sure.

d*mn, gaijin! Why didn't he just nibble on the bread like a grown-up!

Soon my beef bowl disappeared into the bellies of the four of them.

Now I'm cheating Galahad, who wants more, with sukiyaki. I'm also worried about the amount of sake we're cooking with, but shouldn't we have some white wine instead?

We ended up having yakiniku because we had to fight for the meat.

The bonito tataki was a hit with Luba, and the horse mackerel sashimi was a hit with Camilla and Eagle, much to Galahad's dismay. Galahad said, "I don't mind roasted pork, but I'm afraid of the eyes of fish! I heard. The big man was making a lot of noise and looking away. Next time, I'll make sashimi and kanamero.

We'll throw in a pork cutlet when we get a pig.

With this thought in mind, I put the pizza in my mouth. I can't wait to use the rice freely, I wonder if Fuso has glutinous rice.

"Homura, is it hard to get rice?"

I've never seen anything like it.

"Yes, I was lucky enough to get a small amount in the magical city of Isle, but I heard that it originally came from a country called Fusou, which has a small trade.

I've never heard of Fuso.

"It's an island nation, and I hear it's in the middle of nowhere.

"Oh, so now you can move from one country to another?"

"Yeah, thanks to you, I'm ranked C."

That's right, Ruba gave me the sword and the three of them took me to the boss so I could get to C rank as fast as possible.

If it weren't for the four of you, I still wouldn't have left the country, and I wouldn't have gotten the rice.

He reflects on the situation and gently offers them curry.

Yes, some kind of drunken curry fight has started.

Yes, curry is a drink, but a plate of curry is terrible.

I'm currently eating a lot of leftover curry in the real world, so I'm not as obsessed with it as I am with beef bowls, although I've tried. But I won't add more with the attitude that I can't serve it because there's no rice!　Oh, I realize that I should have made curry udon noodles, remembering today's real dinner menu.

Galahad rolls on the carpet as planned, Eagle and Camilla are breathing on his shoulder and Luba is smiling at him for having done something stupid.

"Speaking of which, do you know where the Starry Hills or the Sea Serpent comes out?"

"Oh, you have a crush on him?"

A drunken Camilla hugs me.

Your hem is a mess, as are your breasts!

"Unrequited love?"

"<> is a date spot where if you go with someone you like and see a meteor, you can become lovers."

"...... That would make us lovers when you invite me to come along, wouldn't it?"

I promise I won't tell you that.

"I don't have a boyfriend right now, but where is the place?"

"Well, I'll take Homura with me. The place is about two kilometers east-southeast of the magical city of Isle. It's the only place on that side of the island where there's an open forest, so you should be able to find it easily. Hmm."

"The Sea Serpent is at the southwestern tip of Fagat, maybe in a cove there. I wouldn't recommend that one."

"Is it strong?"

"Their attack power is not so high, but their defense is. Neither magic nor physical attacks do much good, and the usual drops are not good either. You don't get much for your effort. If there are too many of them, the fagat octopus will be eaten up and attack fishermen, so once a year, the guild sends out a request to take them down.

Defeating the Sea Serpent is one of the conditions for promotion from C to B rank, and many adventurers participate in this event every year. If the number of sea serpents is larger than usual, B-rank adventurers are encouraged to participate, and sometimes the country asks A-rank adventurers to join. You can refuse, but if you refuse too much without a good reason, your rank will be dropped.

I think I will stay at rank C for a while, it seems like too much trouble.

Okay, thank you.

If they are not too aggressive, be prepared to fight for a long time, and if you are steady, you will be able to beat them someday. It seems that I can manage to get the ingredients for the alchemy recipe that Tascha taught me to prevent possession, except for purification.

Well, I'm not sure if this is really a flag of the event, but one can never be too prepared. I would like to give out possession-preventing items at least to residents who exchanged their partner cards (Patoka).

Oh, and I need to work on my accessory production skills.

"By the way, Ruba, are you sure about the money?

"Oh, don't worry, I've already taken money from these three. I'm just wondering if you've developed any new techniques for using silver while you've been out of the blacksmithing business. I use a little bit of it as a solvent, and if you find any silver along the way, sell it to me."

That's it, I think silver is just the material used for leveling up production workers (players). I'm sorry, but we started leveling up almost all at the same time, so we have to make things at the same time.

"Oh, speaking of silver..."

I was going to terrorize the furniture, but now that I've received a priceless sword, I'll present it to Luba. I take out the silver statue of Leo from the item pouch.

"Melt it down and use it."

"Boom!"

Galahad sees the shiny silver statue of Leo in a pose and bursts out laughing.

"Homura?"

"What kind of taste do you have?"

"No, it was never my taste!

He kicked Leo into the fountain and told him about his encounter with the goddess of the fountain.

"Hey, did you meet Falu too?"

"Is God really that delightful?　That's not the God I know."

I'm confused too, because it's not what I expected.

"Awww, a statue in bikini shorts!"

Galahad has become a laughingstock.

Meanwhile, Luba is looking at the statue with a difficult expression on his face.

Are you interested in Leo's nudity?

"This is no ordinary silver."

"Yes?"

"It's a rare and expensive metal called "<>. I've never seen such a large amount of it.

"Uh, ......."

You made this out of such a rare metal, that unfortunate goddess.

A gift from the goddess?

Eagle looks puzzled, and Galahad keeps laughing, whether he is listening or not.

"Perhaps the golden one is <," he says.

"I can't see this statue as godly,......, if you ask me."

I think it's more normal if you can't see it.

I didn't appraise this statue, but when I look at it, I can see sacred vessels and letters." It says something like "It can be cast and melted for use as a weapon, but cannot be melted in an ordinary furnace.

The silver one is used for weapons and the gold one for armor.

Luba strokes Leo's shoulder with a serious expression. If I had not been told that it was a precious metal, I would have suspected a perversion.

He quietly texts Leo that golden Leo is a precious metal suitable for making armor. I remember that he has worked with moonlight stone, and Leo is likely to have the title of ignoring the rank of material in production.

"Please pay me for the sword."

"You're getting too much."

But if I had it, it would still be the statue.

He responds with a shrug.

You keep your eyes on the silver Leo the whole time, and you want to process it, don't you?

"I don't know anyone else who could do it. Feel free to take it."

We bid farewell to Galahad and the others, who are still feasting, and to Luba, who asks us to stay the night, and head for the inn. I'm going to sleep for real from now on, and if I stay the night, I'll be lying around for a few days.

It's almost midnight here and there, so I'll get up early and log in.

Tomorrow is the end of my vacation.

Have fun.
