「Once that’s decided, let’s get to it! I would say, but you should expect the strength of the opponents who occupied this city to be no less than 1,000…. Or dozens of people of considerable strength」

With that, I started running. Behind me, Suzu and the others are panicking, but they are not chasing me. I’m sure they’ll say something else later, but right now, every second counts. Let’s head for the blacksmith’s guild right away.

─────

「Sorry to bother you」

「Hmm? You look familiar?」

「Nice to meet you, my name is Ayane. I recently came to Formana and I am looking forward to working with you. By the way, may I borrow your blacksmith workshop?」

「Ohhhh… You’re talking really fast… Ayane. Nice to meet you. Feel free to use the forge」

「Thank you very much」

I thanked him and headed to the blacksmith workshop in the back. Then I take out my smelting kit and anvil as usual and lay them out.

「……」

I wonder what metal would be best…

As I looked through my inventory, I found unused ores strewn about.

Ah, Riffstone and Washstone. They are the ores I received as compensation when I made a sword for Noichi-san, the Kunoichi girl. Come to think of it, there was also Bone Stone… I’ll try to use it… ? No, let’s just ask here.

「… Hey Iris」

Iris is hovering at my feet as I sit down since she hasn’t been able to get it out of my inventory lately. It must be interesting to see all the new things.

Aside from that, I will be using the three ores I mentioned earlier. Riffstone, Washstone, and Bone Stone. In addition, I will use the transforming spores from Mush who lived in the Great Labyrinth of Formana.

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

【Name】 Transformation Spores: Quality 7

【Description】 Mush spores that change the size of what they touch. Therefore, they are contained in a magic bottle that does not change size. It remains a mystery why the bottle falls with Mush when it is defeated.

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

These spores have been bottled since the drop. I’m going to use them as they are without taking them out of the bottle because I might get smaller again if I touch them.

Immediately, I placed the bottle containing the spores on the blue cloth I had laid out. Next, Riffstone, Washstone, and Bone Stone are heated and mixed, but this is difficult.

──Konkon…

I think about what to do while tapping the Bone Stones with my fingers.

It was found out during the creation of the Hidden Leaves of Rain Sword for Noichi-san that mixing Riffstone and Washstone in a 1:2 ratio is stable, but when Bone Stone is mixed in here, it becomes a pain in the neck again.

I don’t want to take as much time as possible, but let’s make it a rule to add the Bone Stones little by little after mixing the Riffstone and the Washstone.

───Gaaan! Gaaaan!! Gaan!!

───Gaaaaan!! Gaaaan! Gaaaaan!!

「…… Maybe 3:6:1」

I knew from when I was tapping the Bone Stone earlier that it was sufficiently harder than the other ores. So when I mixed it, I was a little surprised that it stabilized immediately after mixing it just a little bit.

All that’s left is to make the sheath and handle, set up the ownership, and we’re done… !!

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆

【Name】 Cursed・Hidden Leaves of Rain Great Sword: Quality ☆2

【Description】 A cursed Great Sword made of Riffstone, Washstone and Bone Stone in the ratio of 3:6:1. The sword, which has both the power of leaves and water, disappears when touched by anyone other than its maker and owner. The maker and owner are visible. Perhaps because it was made with bone stone, it is cursed. The name is slightly lame.

「Hmm? What did you say?」
