"Yes, go ahead"

Soara tries to make sure she feels the little sword she receives.

This "Killer Killer (Goblin Vane)" was slightly shorter blade crossing than my own "Flaming Sword (Firesword)".

But as a swordsman, it fits the size of a small Soara.

It didn't seem easy to use.

If there's a problem...

Soara closes her eyes and tries a small spell.

"Transmission".

That is very preliminary sorcery.

It was a substitute that only had the effect of releasing magic outside the body, but it is useful to activate the granting tool.

Lynne taught me and I was finally getting to use it recently.

"... that?

I did have a response.

Sorcery must have definitely succeeded.

There is a sense in the evidence that magic flows slowly out of the palm with heat.

But there was no response from the pivotal sword.

The magic that I conveyed doesn't go as far ahead from the pattern, it just seems to be foggy.

"Mm-hmm. Too bad. Apparently it wasn't meant for Mr. Soara (...)"

"Oh no..."

Soara dropped her shoulder disappointingly.

Granting tools pick people.

Conditions such as' qualification 'and' price 'will be required to handle them, and unless the user meets them, he/she will not be able to earn' rewards'.

I don't know what the conditions were, but Soara was put on that sieve and probably dropped.

By the way, 'qualifications' are questions about the nature and abilities of users.

There are a wide variety of occupations such as "bandit", "magician", and other preferences and conditions such as "reading lover", "drunk", etc.

Of course, there are many ties that can't be helped by the will or effort of the person, such as race, descent, gender, or age.

And the "price" is the price to pay when you use your abilities.

Often, the more magic in the blood is demanded and a powerful granting tool, the harder it seems to handle because it can require a large amount of magic and sacrifice.

Sometimes they ask for money, hair, etc. (magic contained in).

"How many little ghosts (goblins) has Mr. Soara defeated before?

"Uh, about five."

It was a little heartbreak (trauma) for Soara for the little one.

So even if I've ever encountered you in a dungeon, you've always been on the run.

I've only counted so many decent fights.

"When I decipher this magic circuit of" Killer Killer, "it says," You, tell those who wear dark green clothes. "Dark green refers to the blood of a little ghost. The point is, he's the one who's defeated the little ghost."

"Really?"

Then you won't be able to handle it by flipping it to Soara right now.

I can't imagine how many little ghosts I'm dealing with.

I was fine enough to eat the cake I cut in "Killer Killer," but I'm not good enough for a moment when I run into you in a dungeon, etc.

"Sorry to hear that, Soara."

"Yeah. But if you think about it, maybe you don't need it"

Where I could handle this little sword, when I encountered the little one, I felt like I was running away as far as I could.

Perhaps, at a young age, there is still some fear somewhere when the village is raided.

If it turns out to be a treasure possession even if you have it in the end, maybe you should consider it good that you couldn't handle it the other way around.

"Well, if you're a weapon, I'll see what I can do..."

Fujiwara drops her eyes on the leather armor Soara is wearing on her lid. And make the glasses glow hard.

"You should still repair that armor or make a new one"

"I think I can still use enough..."

"No. In terms of quality it is in 'crude' condition. Bet on my appraisal eye, I highly recommend you fix that armor immediately"

Pressed by Fujiwara's words, I'll check the condition of what I'm wearing again.

It is true that due to the repeated attacks from monsters, hard surfaces have peeled off or shallow punches (rivets) have been removed.

The clasp seems to be a little loose.

I have been feeling that I may not be able to prevent enough attacks as it is, or that I may suddenly break them.

"If I fix it, should I go to the blacksmith?

"There's something even a tailor can ask for. Let me tell you what store I know if it's a good idea. And it's not just going to fix it, it's going to multiply the impact absorption and cutting resistance."

Soara decided to rely on Fujiwara.

If you know him, you must be a committed, well-armed craftsman.

- But.

"Mogugu... wait a minute... Mogu..."

Suddenly Anemone interrupts the story with a cake cheeky all over her mouth.

Soon he was restarting his cake buffet all by himself.

After stirring up the mug and drinking it down, he says this forcefully.

"Armor, I'll arrange it!

"Is Mr. Anemone here?

"Oh. Actually, I have some great protective gear. It's the strongest armor that will disable any attack in any direction if you wear it."

"Shh, that's some awesome protective equipment"

Soara had a somewhat unpleasant feeling, even as she hammered.

"Of course, not everyone can wear them, but if they can equip them, they will certainly give them a great deal of power"

"... what is that protective gear?

"Hmm. Full-body armor."

Anemone declares confidently while putting raw cream on her cheeks, but to the answer as expected, the other two silenced as well as Soara.

……

I can't fit in, and the direction I'm going to put on the leather armor is likely to be determined.

◆

I totally stayed in The Age of the Good Old Mages for a long time.

When Lynne left the store, the sun was already sinking.

Eventually, after that, a general armor fitting competition was held by Anemone.

Soara was able to run and jump even as she was equipped, but she quickly got butterflied, and Lynne tried but finally walked a few steps.

He fell without taking a step towards Fujiwara and scratched the algae on the floor.

Anemone wearing something so heavy on a daily basis is still not just something, Lynne thinks again.

"That was fun."

"Yeah. The cake was delicious too"

"Maybe I don't need dinner"

"Speaking of rice, food for my next exploration, I have to buy it"

"I could refill my regular medication and... oh, don't forget to fix the armor, huh?

"Yeah."

Looking at the map I got for Fujiwara, the tailor's shop seemed to be close by.

I think I'll be able to go home before sundown, so I thought I'd just keep going.

"I'm sure it's just another exploration," Soara laughs.

Indeed, the quest for the dungeon has so far gone well.

By the fourth basement, I'd already learned the way, and it was crunchy, and I could have broken through the fifth basement.

I was able to be alone in the sun.

Lynne also wants to snort, 'Right,' if that's true.

Well, the moment I saw the scar on Soara's arm, my mind was deciding. I didn't think it would work like this.

So now was the time to tell her that.

"Soara, you know what?

"Yeah?"

"I think Soara's been burdening me a lot lately."

Lynne always looks at Soara's back while she's in the dungeon. In order to follow her, I stare for a moment so that the two of us can come back to the ground so that she doesn't force me to.

So there's something I can tell.

"Even in battle, but I think more than that, reconnaissance and trap relationships are a burden"

Soara has a strong sense of responsibility.

He tries to pay some attention to Lynne, who is not fit for strength or direct combat, in the guard position.

I was happy with the incident itself, but there are occasions when I think it is overprotective.

For example, I would like to put it on something and go ahead with scouts and untracking.

But she is a swordsman.

I don't have the expertise of banditry with me.

So I have repeatedly failed several times without being able to spot the trap set on the path, or trying to process it impossibly.

The last example of this is the poison arrow from the other day.

One of these days I may get some irrevocable major injury.

To think so, Lynne was anxious and had no choice.

"So let's make company. At least, one bandit job. What's more, one monk and one warrior at a time."

That was a word I didn't want to say if it was true.

Because Soara and I just wanted to keep exploring.

It is decided that it is more fun for just the two of us. Above all, I don't want anyone else to come into this relationship.

First, Lynne's acquaintance does not allow other followers.

By and large, having a new companion doesn't necessarily solve it well. The possibility of rubbing in a relationship and no longer being a place to explore was also considered.

"Actually... I thought I'd do the same for a bit."

Soara said something unexpected.

"Oh yeah?

"When I thought about the upcoming offense, I thought I should have more company. But I was worried if I should tell you. What's wrong with Lynne and I having fun exploring like this...

Soara asks me with a surprised face.

Maybe you found out Lynne's face was burning.

'Cause I couldn't be happier.

Because Soara thought just like herself and was worried about it for the same reason.

"But you can't protect Lynne like this."

"I can't even back up Soara."

I didn't think Lynne was anxious anymore.

With all this mindfulness, I can be much more friendly with Soara no matter what.

All we have to do is work hard for the two of us to break it down.

Then it's settled.

"Yeah!"

I held the hand Soara had offered me.

Identification Card: Killer Killer (Goblin Vane) (Unmarked)

And thou shalt tell him that weareth a dark green coat, and offer him a thousand and eight hundred and seventy-one drops of his blood: and he shall tell the children of the ghost through the world, and the foam shall be blown, and his soul shall be gone, and his liver shall be crushed, and as the lamp of Azakedarma shall be.

It's one of those weapons with the name 'Kill (Vane)'.

What this word says can be very powerful against certain monsters and phenomena.

According to the literature, the first hundred swings of this' Killer Killer 'were produced by a good old magician named Kadinal.

After being widowed by The Little Ghost Battle, she named herself The Little Ghost Killer (Goblin Vane) and threw herself into a spectacular revenge play.

Her battle was a workshop, not a battlefield.

I thought only of just killing the little ghost, no day or night, even pulling drawings, burning iron, continuing to wield the hammer with my soul, and creating a small sword in exchange for its life.

By the hands of his disciples, it became a powerful means of stopping the threat of the little ones who continued to reproduce, mass produce and eventually reproduce indefinitely, spreading their prints.

Afterwards, after the eviction of the little ones without one left from the continent, Kadinal's achievements and his obsession were praised and the sword was named 'Killer Killer'.

...... so in the case of this sword, 'Little Ghost (Goblin)' is exclusive and gives you uninterrupted power.

Just waving the sword can scare the little ones away. Simply poke and you'll lose your temper, and if you strike a blow, you'll undoubtedly be able to end it first.

At the beginning of the dungeon, this dish is highly recommended as a weapon for rushing seekers.

By the way, there are many other weapons named 'Kill'.

There are famous places like Dragon Killer (Dragon Vane), which has the sensitivity to find scales, Swamp Donkey Horse Killer (Trollsbane), which gives a curse that twists and bends the natural healing ability, and Beast Man Killer (Warebane), which paralyzes the sense of smell and dyes the poison that blunts the movement.

If you're interested in some other variants like 'Magic Kill (Magic Vane)' that smash the magic itself, because they seem to exist, it might be interesting to find out.
