Kojiin Tamer

I learned to dismantle the Fang Boa from a soldier who was a gatekeeper before, so I can do it.

It was physically demanding, but with the help of Sakuya and the old man who had finished draining the blood from the body, we were able to dismantle it in a reasonable condition.

Then, just as we were about to dismantle the same boar-type monster, we had a problem.

The knife blade wouldn't go through.

It wasn't a good knife, since it was originally from an orphanage, and I was only just barely able to dismantle the Fang Boa. Obviously, the blade will not be able to pass through demons higher than Fang Boa.

''Why don't we dismantle it?''

An old man approached me when he was having trouble getting his knife through.

He said, "My knife won't go through. It's a cheap knife.... Probably nothing but fangbores will be able to do it.

"Even a cheap one can cut through a boar if it's strengthened with magic, right?

Enhanced...?

What, you don't know anything about that?

I'm sorry...

'Didn't your master teach you that?'

'Is Master a magician? Then I'm self-taught, so I don't have a master.

''My God, you've learned to control magic power all by yourself! If that's the case, I don't have any choice. Can you use your magic power to strengthen your body?

Oh, yes. It's my way of doing things, but I can do it.

The enhancement of a living creature is to circulate magic inside its body, but in the case of an object, it can be covered with magic.

Cover it with magic?

I gathered my magic and coated the knife in a thin layer.

You can do it," I said, "and it will make it sharper and more durable than an ordinary knife. It's a good idea to make sure that you have a good idea of what you're doing. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to use that strength to defend yourself.

I see, so that's one way to use it. I've been thinking about magic, like creating fire and I forgot to think about other uses.

I'm going to try to dismantle the boar monster with the magic coating knife.

The one that the blade couldn't pass through a while ago was sliced cleanly.

Wow!

Hmm, well done. The only thing that matters is how sharp the original knife was, so this should be the limit of the monster.

I'm sure that's true. It's a very good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm sure we'll need new weapons after all...

Then why don't you make your own!

What? What is this old man talking about?

'Well, we'll teach the boy to blacksmith! Is Sakuya going to join us?

I won't..........

No, no, no, girls don't do blacksmithing.

Oh, yeah.... Yeah, right! You say you've never learned magic, boy! Then I'll teach you! Sakuya, how about magic?

I want to learn magic...

'Right, right! Well, I guess I'll have to teach you then!

No, no, no, no. Grandpa doesn't use that kind of language.

"Okay, kid. Tomorrow we'll start training you hard!

What? No, no, you can't do that tomorrow! I only come here once every two days to hunt. Besides, I have to hunt, so I can't come here every time.

Then I guess from now on, all I have to do is catch my share of them! I'll teach you a thing or two next time, so you can look forward to it!

And I'm the master? I got the

I mean, I'm looking forward to it because I get to hang out with Sakuya, Grandpa!
