CH 77

" you're an odd maid, aren't you, ......?"

"But you have the good sense to see the Dwarves' work, my friend."

The two dwarves were , very similar in face and height.

I was a little embarrassed, but I walked out in front of Deanna and went inside the store.

Then, I looked at the weapons on the shelf one by one.

I was surprised to see that the weapons were very carefully and delicately crafted.

Then I found a knife that I was interested in and asked if I could hold it in my hand, and then I was allowed to take it directly in my hand.

Hmmm.

I think this is probably a very good item.

I have seen a sword in the Bardia family's mansion.

The sword was somewhat warped and had some burrs and other roughness that was inevitably noticeable.

Of course, it is a terrible thing to compare mass-produced weapons for knightly orders with a single item from the dwarves.

Still, I think this knife is a good one.

I was about to return the knife in my hand when I realized I had not heard their name.

" Uh, ......."

No, don't worry about it. I'm Ellen. That's my brother Alex."

Ellen, who had been handed the knife by me, gestured to Alex in the back.

Alex replied with a smile.

Just from this exchange alone, I could tell that this was a very good store.

So why are they having a closing ?　I boldly asked.

"Well, there was a sign outside that said 'closing '; are you closing up store?"

'Yeah, that' thing: ......."

Ellen looked a little disappointed as she told me.

Maybe she wanted someone to listen to her, too.

The two originally lived in the Dwarf nation of Gardoland (henceforth: Gardoland), it seems.

However, due to circumstances, they moved from Gardoland to Renalute.

They were nearly penniless, but being a Dwarf was a rare and valuable commodity.

So, Ellen borrowed money to set up a store and workshop, using herself as security.

At first, the shop was well regarded, but the number of customers gradually disappeared.

Ellen was not sure why the number of customers was so low, despite the shop's good reputation.

One day, Ellen talked to an adventurer who had bought a weapon from her.

He told Ellen that if she bought and kept Gemini's weapons, she would not be able to buy things at other weapon stores, or she would be harassed by the high prices charged.

Ellen was outraged at this nonsense.

But it was true that those who did not like the rise of the outsiders were exerting pressure on them.

Unfortunately, Ellen and Alex did not have the strength to fight back.

And, unable to pay back the borrowed money , they were finally left with only debts, and Ellen was forced to sell herself.

When she told that much, Ellen said in a frightened tone,

"Dark elves have a long life span. Maybe they don't like change. But there is still some time left until the repayment date, so I'm going to keep trying and not give up until the end.

"I see. I'm sorry to hear that. I wish I could help in anyway, not just ......."

I listened to Ellen's story and wanted to help them.

Incidentally, Fara and Asuna, who were listening to Ellen's story, were listening with very mixed expressions from the middle of the story.

Then, my attention was caught by a certain "sword."

It was a sword that gave me the impression that it was absorbing the magic that was in the air.

I asked Ellen about the sword.

"Ellen, what is that 'sword'?"

Ellen looked a little surprised when she saw where I pointed my finger, but she cleared her throat and explained.

"It's called a 'magic sword' that only Alex and I could make."

"The sword is called a 'magic sword'....... "Does it happen to have some kind of change according to the attributes of the person who has it?"

"How do you know that?　We are the only ones who can make 'magic swords' , and there are only a few of them in existence."

"Heh, ......?　The name of the sword is "magic sword", so I thought it might have some special ability."

I made a dry chuckle and covered it up.

And inside, I was thrilled.

I was lucky enough to meet someone who could make a magic sword.　

The "demon sword" is a type of weapon that can be found in the otome's game "Tokirera!

If there is no good equipment for a character in the advanced guard position, he can manage by equipping the " Magic Sword" for the time being.

It was such an easy-to-use weapon that people say so.

The effect was to increase the attack power of the wielder's attribute magic and to change the physical attack attribute to the character's attribute quality.

Therefore, in the game, Rid, with this "magic sword," can handle physical attacks and all attribute attacks.

In other words, it was a very compatible weapon with outstanding versatility.

However, in this world, it will not be as easy to use as in the game if equipped.

Still, it was worth a try.

I said to Ellen with expectant eyes.

"May I see your magic sword?"

"Eh ......?　Well, okay. It's a very expensive item, so be careful."

"Yes, . Thank you for your work."

Ellen carefully handed me the magic sword in its sheath.

When I gently grasped the handle, I felt as if the magic sword was responding to my magic power.

I boldly asked for one more request.

, "......, may I pull out this sword?"

"He ......?　But it's dangerous, ?"

Ellen was indeed dubious and would not let me pull it out.

At that time, Deanna, who was watching the exchange, offered a help hand.

.... this girl is skilled in handling weapons. Please, will you let her pull it out?"

'I hope so, but what kind of training do you have to have to raise a ...... maid who is skilled in handling weapons?"

The blade of the sword was very pretty and the ripples were so clean that they seemed to imitate the waves that were coming out of the swell.

I tried to let some magic power flow through the blade to test it out.

The color of the sword changed and turned jet black.

I looked at it with a twinkle in my eye and said, "Wow, this is amazing!"

But Ellen and Alex rolled their eyes and exclaimed, "What?

"How can such a small child pass magic power through a magic sword?"

'The first time I saw him, s he couldn't pass magic power through a magic sword."

Seeing Ellen and Alex's shocked look, Deanna let out a sigh and said with a look of dismay.

'Hah ...... you've done something out of the ordinary again. Tia."

'No, don't talk to me like I'm some sort of insane .......'

Fara and Asuna, who were watching me, looked a little stunned.

However, they soon said, "As expected of Tia," and laughed,
