“Chapter 280: New Materials”

Two weeks have gone by since Kouya’s visit.

– This should be good for now.

I borrowed some ideas from the warehouse to combine them in my final product. I’ll have to see if the prototype works.

– Master, we have clients. (Mike)

– Thank you.

– Yo. Do I have the honor of heeding thy call? The name is Ralph. You have summoned me.

– …Yes, I called you.

– Hahaha! Long time no see.

– Why is your face full of cuts?

– Ah, these? We were exploring the border. I almost got my head chopped off, but instead I got these trophies!

– I don’t think that’s something to be laughing about…

This is a true adventurer. I would never be able to follow his steps.

– So, what’s up? The Rotta girl told me you wanted my services.

I waited two weeks only for Ralph to clear his schedule.

By the way, I had to pay 3/4 of my life savings for this. And even then, Rizerotta said he was giving me “a huge friendly discount”.

– What do you want me to do? Give me a name and I’ll bring you their cranium.

– Not quite what I need. I want you to escort me and help me.

– Fine by me, but why not take the dog or the sage with you?

– I need someone who can both defend me and dig up what I need.

Besides, Mike is busy visiting her dad, and Ever is trying to revive the Sage’s Palace while keeping an eye on Suetsugu’s and Akito’s intel.

– If you paid for me, I assume you don’t want some basic stuff. What are you looking for? Mithrio? Orichalcum? Dark matter?

– Unbreakable.

– Aah, so that’s why.

I wanted to make my new partner as durable as possible.

Also known as “The Indestructible Stone”, unbreakable surpasses any of the materials Ralph mentioned in terms of durability. It has astounding physical resilience and it can negate magical attacks.

Needless to say, I also know where to find it.

– We’ll be up against quite the powerful beasts. Man, you’re way too fun. Hahaha!

– Pleasure doing business with you.
