The Only Daughter of Japan's Greatest Blacksmith, Blacksmithing in VRMMO

5-7 minutes 20.12.2021

It’s been about 3 hours since I missed that archer who was shooting a lot. I was walking through a forest rich in nature. I could hear the sound of the river and insects from afar.

「… Negative ions……」

I muttered to myself. It’s hard to believe that I was fighting just now. It’s so mysterious and soothing. If I wanted to, I could stay here forever… That’s how much I want to stay here…

――Shu… !

―Dogooon! !

「Here we go again」

The encounter went the same way as the first, but the opponent knew this and fired an arrow that exploded from the first move. I avoided it and looked in the direction it came from.

「I won’t let you get away this time」

With her sword in her right hand, Ayane ran straight ahead.

「……」

In her hand is Mizuzanmaru. Unlike before, she simply runs straight ahead. The arrows flying at her do not slow down and she slashes them down. The arrows that explode…

「《Water Blade》」

――Jaba… Dogooon! !

Right at the moment when she thought he was going to shoot at her, she sent out a 《Water Blade》 at almost the same time as her opponent, causing the arrow to explode in midair.

However, my opponent doesn’t just shoot at me. They change their location and shoot from my blind spot, so I can’t be too careful.

Then, with about 100 meters left to go.

――Za…

「「……….」」

A man suddenly appears in front of me. He has a magnificent bow in his hand, so it’s clear that he is an archer.

「… This might be the first time I’ve been blocked this far」

「Thanks for that」

「Hey」

「Yes」

「…… Let’s play a game. If you can manage to survive my moves, I’ll lose… What do you think?」

The man offered me a game. Honestly, there’s no point in playing, so if I just cut him down…

「I’m going to show you a special skill that I’ve never shown anyone」

Good. But I’m a little concerned about one thing…

「… Is there any benefit for me in that?」

「No. But I thought I’d give it a try for the person who drove me to this point」

「… Okay. All right. Fine」

「! Are you sure?」

「Yes」

「Then don’t regret taking it!」

「Of course!」

Thus begins a battle that lasts over 3 hours.

「This is my full power! Let’s see what you can do! !」

Then the man held the bow up so that it was pointed at me, and drew the string, which was not set in any way.

「《All Magic・Thousand・Bow》! !」

The pulled string is popped out by elastic force. Immediately afterwards, 1000 arrows appeared directly in front of me. Each of them had a different color, and they were very beautiful.

――Bibibibibibibibibibyu! ! !

All at once… No, it’s not all at once, but the arrows are timed just a little bit differently and fly right at me.

「――《Dragon Power》」

――Bikibikibiki… Baki…

My body is changing, producing sounds. As I listen to the changes, I put my hand out in front of me and hold it up. My sword is long gone, so I am empty-handed.

――Dogogogogogogogogooooooooon! ! !

An explosion rang out behind me. This is because the speed doubled by 《Dragon Power》 also increases the speed of my reflexes, and I am deflecting all the flying arrows with my hands so as not to irritate them.

This causes arrows that did not hit to fly backwards, and arrows that hit the ground or trees to explode, causing some sort of phenomenon.

「Wha, Whawhawha… What… the, hell… ?」

As the flashes cease, a beautiful, unharmed dragon girl with half of her body covered in bright red scales emerges from the light.

「If my opponent is getting serious, I have to get serious too, right?」

「Haha! I see. I didn’t expect you to go that far… Haha, ha…」

The man smiles bitterly.

「Oh, by the way, what’s your name?」

「Hmm? Yeah. My name is Yoichimaru. They say I’m a top player, but I don’t think so… Especially if I’m beaten by such a small kid…」

「Huh?」

「Otto, sorry, sorry」

Ah, it just came out… Ohoho.

「Mmm! I’m…」

「Ayane… Right?」

「! ?」

「You’re famous, after all. You. ――The beautiful dragon girl who appeared in Sādin. ――Dragonborn lol「Hmm?」Sorry. ――The beautiful blacksmith girl… And so on」

「Some of the names seem a bit off-putting…」

「Maa, don’t worry about it!」

「Huh… ?」

「I’m glad I got to fight you for once」

「Is that so?」

「Yeah. Because you were able to take my special skill without a scratch…」

A distant look appears to his eyes… Yoichimaru-san.

「And the fact that I got to see it was worth it」

「Is that how it is?」

「That’s the way it is. Then you’ll have to kill me」

「… I understand」

And so… I cut off Yoichimaru-san’s head.

Naturally, the fight was shown live on air, and the crowd went wild.
