The Elf Is a Freeloader

Numerous swords hung narrowly on the walls.

Double edged straight sword broadswords and long swords, two-hand swords for both hands, liturgical and awakening rapiers in famous places. Unusual, even single-edged, inverse falcions, or rod-shaped weapons such as axes, halvards, not swords.

Double edges, single edges, and sizes vary from dagger to dagger, and gemstones and gold and silver embellishments can be seen.

Inside the shelves are daily items such as plates and cups. Silver-like knives and forks reflect the brightness of the ceiling.

Some things are like useless crap just at first glance, but all that you have in this room seems like it's all old and worthwhile.

Of course, I promise you there's a western armor standing in the corner of the room with a weapon in your hand.

That's right.

This is an exhibition room that houses his secret collection, gathered over the years by the mayor of Nikken-shi, Koichi Hagano.

And Elle, who had been passed into this room by Mayor Hagano, was looking at his collection with his pale eyes gleaming.

"Actually, there's something Elle's been wanting to see for a while."

Mayor Hagano cut it out that way when he finished exchanging cell phone numbers and addresses, the purpose of Elle's visit to Hagano Mansion, Takashi's house.

Takashi and Mayor Hagano, as well as Elle, who was happily looking at the phone book of a cell phone with an added name such as Cherry Blossom - Jing jumped out of the living room before exchanging numbers - raised her head back to me in the mayor's words.

"What do you want me to see......?

"Yep. Had I told you before that I was collecting Western antiques?

"Uh... not directly from the mayor, but I've heard it from Takashi"

"Really? In fact, there were a number of swords and other weapons in the collection. I want you, the real adventurer, to see it for once."

Perhaps, in modern times, she is one of the most versed in swords and other weapons. Until recently, I actually used a real sword to live my life.

Elle also said that she had identified all the weapons, tools, and treasures she found during her adventure in relation to her interest in magic equipment (magic items).

Of course, I wasn't able to make a solid appraisal of everything I found, but still I must be somewhat more eye-catching than contemporary Takashi or Mayor Hagano.

It was also of interest to Mayor Hagano to see how people from different worlds - elves - could see this world's weapons.

Please, let Mayor Hagano's offer make Elle snort comfortably.

"Okay. I'd love to see some of the weapons in this world. As an adventurer, I'm interested in weapons."

Mayor Hagano quickly led Elle to his collection room.

By the way, Ryu offered to accompany him on this as well. Even though his son Ryu, Mayor Hagano has not given permission to enter his collection room. Not so long ago, he cherished his collection.

Elle first took a closer look at the kind of weapon hung on the wall.

Of course, I don't imitate things that touch me directly.

"What do you say? May I have your frank opinion, seen in your eyes, a professional - adventurer?

"That's right..."

Looking back to Mayor Kuru and Takashi, Elle decided to follow Mayor Hagano's words, even though it seemed a little hard to say, asking him to be frank.

"Eh, the weapons and armor here aren't that different from the ones in the world I was in. Of course, there are differences in materials, shapes, etc. And the... it's all pretty old and painful. So, to be honest, none of them can be used immediately as they are."

"No, the... I mean, I know that, naturally..."

Everything that is arranged here is an antique. It's only natural that it's old and painful.

Maybe Elle mistakes this place for an arsenal or something, not for a room that collects antique collections.

"But..."

When Elle gets the mayor's permission, he takes the little sword that was hanging on the wall - the short sword - and gently pulls it out of his sheath.

"Only this sword is likely to withstand use even as it is"

Its short sword, in relatively good condition, exposes the elegant making yet dull silver glow to the front of the el.

"There are some blade spills, but it looks like you'll be fine with a little care. The materials used also seem to be of good quality."

Mayor Hagano has heard Elle say that this is the most valuable of the weapons.

"That's just great. The sword was acquired some years ago when I traveled to U.K., but I was proud of my fellow antiques I knew... because I was impressed with the quality of it when I showed it to them instead"

Whenever the antique mate still shows his face, he always says he wants this sword to give way.

"What do you say, besides weapons? Is there anything that caught Mr. Elle's eye?

When the mayor told him, Elle turned to an exhibition case containing daily necessities.

"... silver vessels, knives, etc. naturally cost a lot. You're also cared for carefully. But I think the ceramic plates and cups lined up here are worth more than that."

And what Elle pointed to was the antique pottery that was tucked away on another shelf.

"Is ceramics better than silver products?

"Yes. A ceramic thing is just expensive, isn't it?

Elle said this for a reason.

Because in the world she was in, only the Dwarf craftsmen could create pottery.

Even though in humans we can shape vessels with clay, we cannot burn them.

The Dwarves of the world of El are said to be a species under the protection of the Flaming God, with high resistance to flames and heat.

Taking advantage of its specialties, the Dwarves have a high level of heat related technology, such as blacksmiths.

It is also the secret of the Dwarves to be able to build kilns that can withstand the high temperatures at which pottery can be baked. For this reason, pottery is expensive simply because it is pottery.

In Japan, pottery has long been a familiar thing among ordinary people, but not in the Elle world.

Mayor Hagano and Takashi, who heard these things from Elle, were not impressed by the various gaps caused by the world being different.

Hin, and the silver light rushes to slay the wind.

The silver light, which ran sharply in a straight line, twirls according to the will of those who manipulate it, and now walks several degrees while drawing a complex orbit.

Those who manipulate the silver light - Elle was confronted by an invisible enemy, constantly repositioning himself with a complicated leg movement.

Elle fights an invisible enemy as he pictures a demon who once fought in the back of his brain.

Devil's Hook Claw to be rolled out. With a piece of paper, Elle pierces the short sword in her hand - that sword she had just witnessed - straight at the base of the fictional demon's arm.

The cuttoe profoundly pierces the demon's body. So much so that he doesn't even seem to actually feel that feeling, Elle quickly pulls back the cutting-edge he rolled out with a pressing look and takes a distance in the backstep.

Without even stopping for a moment, Elle listens still to the void of the fictional demon as he constantly moves. And if there's a gap, I'll definitely poke it there.

If the sword of a western knight is a just sword that crushes enemies with strength and weight.

If a Japanese samurai is a fast sword that slashes and throws away enemies with sharpness and speed.

Elle's way of fighting it can be described as a wearing sword that carefully pokes a dot.

The move, if you dare, resembles fencing. It is a sword technique of speed and skill, not force, that reliably penetrates the target while asking for weaknesses and gaps.

Takashi and Mayor Hagano looked as though they could see Elle rolling out his sword to dance in a wide garden.

Her quick movements and serious expression seem to see the enemy confronting them to the point.

And from the usual somewhere laid-back impression of El, to that incredibly riddled look, the two of them can just shut up and follow her through the movement with their eyes.

"... Marvelous..."

Was it Ryu or the mayor who shrugged like that?

At the end of their gaze watching her still, the demon, which was visible only to her, finally fell to her full strength when Elle made several thrusts.

Yeah, and once he shook the short sword big enough to shake off the blood paste that got to the sword, Elle quickly put the sword into the sheath.

Takashi and Mayor Hagano also returned to me.

"No, brilliant! Let me show you something wonderful!

The mayor praises Elle with a flattering applause.

"This is also a way for you to view your current moves in a video when you update your next city website."

"No, to be honest, I'm surprised, Elle. The title" Adventurer "isn't Dada!

Even in the evening, if you move around hard in the summer, you naturally sweat a lot. When Elle receives the towel offered by Ryu in gratitude, he wipes the sweat off his forehead and neck with it.

It was at Ryu's request that she did a sword dance impersonation on her own in the garden of Hagano Mansion.

I want to see Elle, the adventurer, waving his sword.

Even the mayor, who Ryu suddenly said that and thought it seemed interesting, wanted me to show it because I could use the short sword earlier.

When they told me so much, Elle decided to take the offer without saying no.

Elle's role as an adventurer is dominated by magical support from the rear. But still, in order to protect myself at the very least, I had a lot of knowledge of melee combat.

By the time I lived as an adventurer, it was always a sword workout, and she herself was a little concerned that she hadn't been waving her sword lately and that her body was dull.

Deciding it was just the right opportunity, Elle tried to wave her sword as before when she borrowed a short sword from the mayor.

The figure is as elegant but full of temper as a sword dance, and Takashi and Mayor Hagano, who watched, are just overwhelmed.

Elle's sword is a real sword move that he has experienced in action. Because of this, they possessed some kind of power unlike sports like karate and kendo.

"But you've perspired for a long time. As long as Mr. El is good, why don't you take a shower?

"No, it's about the end of Mr. Yastaka's dinner preparations, and I think it's time to go home. And even if you sweat here, you'll be sweating again by the time you get home."

From Ryu's house to Yanggui's, there are many climbing slopes in one way or another. Even though the sun will soon set, if you bike through the still hot summer evenings, you will have to sweat another by the time you reach home.

"Really? Now it's time to get dark, so be very careful on your way home"

Say hello to Yasushi.

Upon receiving his luggage, a backpack, from Takashi, Elle turns to the outside of Hagano Mansion to say goodbye to the two of them on the spot when he takes out his black-edge glasses for disguise and attaches them to his face.

But it seemed like something came to mind along the way, and I stopped the foot.

Strangely ahead of Takashi and Mayor Hagano staring, Elle took the smartphone he had just bought out of his pocket and manipulated it with some irresistible hand to keep it in his ear.

Often wait as you are.

"Oh, is that Mr. Yastaka? This is Elle. Yes... Yes... I'm at Mr. Takashi's house right now, and I'm going home. Yes...... yes...... ok!

Elle talks to Yasushi over the phone, ahead of Ryu and Mayor Hagano staring.

The smile she's having now was the best of the day.
