Vol 05 Epilogue-1: From Elf Reincarnation to Cheat Kingdom Founding Chronicle
Several months had passed since the war with the Empire ended.
「Yukino, increase the firepower a bit more.」
「Like this, Cyril-niisama?」
「Stronger!」
「Understood, Yukino will do her best!」
I was swinging the hammer in the newly established forge. I was forging a sword. Each time I brought the hammer down, sparks flew.
With each swing, I imbued magic into the blade. This was a magic technique modeled after the unique magic used by the dwarf Kuiro. While I couldn't do it as skillfully as Kuiro, the swords I crafted were more than ordinary; they were becoming true magic swords.

「Finally, it's done.」
「How is it, Cyril-niisama?」
「It's still not quite there.」
I gazed at the twelve magic swords leaning against the wall, murmuring to myself. All these magic swords, resting against the wall, were summoned by Kuiro during the last 【Samsara Recursion】.
Normally, the material summoned through 【Samsara Recursion】 would vanish after canceling the magic, but for some reason, these remained. It might have been due to the abnormal amount of magical power coursing through my body at that time, thanks to the power of the vampire Gramdeal.
But I believe that these swords remained here because Kuiro wanted to entrust them to me. He said something in his final moments.
「Can a youngster like you create a sword of this caliber?」
Surely, Kuiro left these as examples for me.
「Even though Cyril-niisama's sword is so amazing...」
Yukino said, tilting her head while holding one of my forged magic swords. The magic sword gleamed dully. It was a sword imbued with an enchantment to strengthen slashing attacks. Indeed, it was a fine sword.
「Yes!」
I was glad to see Yukino so happy.
I have to create a wonderful ring. I began preparing to teach Yukino blacksmithing, but then I heard a knock at the door.
「Cyril-niisama, Kuu-neesama and Lucy-sama are calling for you!」
「It's already time for your appointment. Please hurry.」
Opening the door, I found the yellow fire fox Kemin and the black fire fox Kurone. They had come to fetch me.
「Ah, that's right, it was today. Yukino, I'll teach you blacksmithing another time.」
I murmured while stroking Yukino's head.
「Understood. Cyril-niisama, you promised. You must teach Yukino when you return.」
「Yes, I promise.」
Leaving those words behind, I left the forge. Looking back, I saw Yukino waving at me enthusiastically.
◇
「Good day, Cyril-sama.」
「Have you gotten used to life here?」
「Yes, Erucy is very comfortable to live in.」
On my way to the gate leading to Erin, I was greeted by a man carrying a hoe. It was Johann, the chief of the Kobold tribe. He and several others had moved to Erucy from Bell Erucy. For now, they were just a few, but gradually, Erucy was starting to welcome not only elves and fire foxes but other races as well. It was the first step for Erucy to become a nation where various races could coexist without discrimination.
「That's good to hear. Keep up the good work.」
「Yes! You kindly invited us here. I will strive to meet your expectations!」
Johann, chief of the Kobold tribe, cheerfully replied and, shouldering his hoe, ran off towards the fields, blending in with the Elves. Erucy would soon welcome an increase in population becoming more vibrant in the days to come.
