※Non-transferable
Oo…the [-1] has disappeared. I thought it might be useless if I didn’t polish it but, this is really a huge gain……..
In addition, it was non-transferable……
The fairy did say that this was a unique weapon. In other words, could it be unique because it is 「※Non-transferable」?
Although, even if I were to equip myself with this kind of weapon, I don’t think that I would be parting with it in particular too….Well, it’s useless to think too deeply into it if I don’t understand it…….I don’t have any intention to give it to another person anyway.
But, the more I look at this magic sword, the more it fascinated me. Since I bought the sword as it is, I should make a sheath with a matching design and colour for it. After seeing Rebecca-san and the rest during the festival, I did think that it would be nice for me to carry a sword too. However, for me to be able to achieve this dream that soon further proved that this is certainly a fantasy world.
In addition to that, I received two more new guidance too. I was thankful for them since I haven’t received any guidance lately. I only have two spirit stones in my possession now so I would be glad if I could get more of them…… Although, it might be possible to buy more of them once I become wealthy after running my business. Right now, I have yet to reach the level whereby I can do that. I wasn’t really clear on the usage depending on the different types of spirit stones at the same time too.
Even though Rebecca-san was looking at the transformed sword curiously, she did not try pursuing the reason in particular. Marina was staring at it with a pair perfectly rounded eyes in the shape of two ‘O’s while Diana was narrowing her eyes with an indescribable expression on her face.
“Diana, did you happen to know something about this?” [Jirou]
“No…..I don’t know anything about it. But, the part on equipping the sword,….most of them were uttered out unconsciously……” [Diana]
Diana herself seems to be puzzled about it herself after saying so.
You should not think too much about it at times like this. Let’s just conclude that this was the will of the great spirits.
I was gradually getting used to being a part of this world now.
In the evening, Hetty-san and the group of maintenance team returned.
Diana’s spirit magic has shortened the estimated time taken in maintaining the road and garden significantly. Considering that almost all of their tasks have been reduced and there weren’t much places in the mansion that needed repairs, the whole project should be completed in less than a week if everything goes well.
This was a happy miscalculation. At this rate, I might be able to spend my New Year in this mansion.
After that, we went to the shop recommended by Hetty-san to have a drink as promised.
We went back to the inn once to drop off our things so we could lighten our load before going out again.
Hetty-san’s recommended shop was a Western-style bar located among the residences earlier, taking us about 20 minutes of walk after exiting the main street from the inn.
The sight of the different shades of red and orange light emitted by the lamp was impressive. It was a fas.h.i.+onable shop. Fundamentally it should be built in a similar way to the rest of the buildings that were built of stones. Wooden pillars were then allocated to each pivot points and the shop’s interior was applied with stucco, giving off a clean image. It’s a bar on the main street! That was exactly how I strongly envisioned a bar to be. Since that was how I was expecting the shop to look like, my expectation was somehow betrayed in a good way.
Sitting at a not so wide table, we ordered our drinks individually. After leaving the task of ordering the shop’s recommended food to Hetty-san, our other world’s drinking party begun.
Rather, this should be a women’s only meeting since I am the only man here.
“Iya, this is quite a good shop with a nice atmosphere. The beer tastes good too.” [Jirou]
“True. It was a little surprising for Hetty to have known a shop like this.” [Rebecca]
“I’m glad that it’s to your liking. Though I am curious as to what impression Becky has of me.” [Hetty]
Saying so Hetty-san took a sip of the wine. Rebecca-san was gulping down the wine at a frightfully fast pace too.
Diana, Marina and I have ordered a full gla.s.s of beer. Even though Diana appears to be someone who was able to hold her liquor, Marina seems to be the opposite. Well, I’m not really that good at holding my liquor too actually.
Rebecca-san and Hetty-san were originally acquaintance. As I thought there should be a lot of things to catch up with between the two of them so the drinking party started off with their conversation.
“That’s cause……regardless of how I tried envisioning it, the impression of meal that Hetty has left me was living off the field.” [Rebecca]
“That couldn’t be helped since that was a battlefield!” [Hetty]
“Even if it might be a battlefield, I don’t think there are any other women in existence except Hetty who can eat a live beast worm directly.” [Rebecca]
“C-Could you stop that. You’re ruining the image!” [Hetty]
As I thought they seem to get along just fine. It appears that Hetty-san who usually behaves like an elegant maid also has times when she frolicked around. Her real nature might have surfaced when she started talking to Rebecca-san, looking fairly like an affable person now.
Even so, a battlefield….. Should I try asking more about that?
“Were both of you from the same group of mercenaries?” [Jirou]
“Well true, I guess you can say that we’re from the same group of mercenaries……” [Rebecca]
“You can say that it’s a different group of mercenaries too. No…..strictly speaking it’s a completely different group of mercenaries. In a way, the two of us were mutual enemies. Becky, does Jirou-sama know about your vocation?” [Hetty]
“No. I have not mentioned it…….Well, I didn’t really intend to hide it in particular……Jirou, do you want to know what my vocation is?” [Rebecca]
“Yes. I’d like to know. To be honest I was curious about it for some time now.” [Jirou]
I was actually really interested in it. Although Rebecca-san is a strong person that has given me the impression of someone who is capable of doing anything thrown at her, she should have a profession…..or rather vocation. Even if it wasn’t anything related to magician, seeing that she used to be a mercenary, I guess it should be something that has to do with combat related vocations…….
“Jirou-sama. If you wanted to know Becky’s vocation just out of pure curiosity, please stop while you’re ahead……That girl’s vocation is, a little unique.” [Hetty]
“Is it an impolite conduct to enquire one’s vocation? Certainly it would be hard for me to answer as well if someone were to ask me about my vocation…….Rebecca-san, I’m sorry. I wasn’t being considerate enough.” [Jirou]
“Unn. I’m fine with it. I believe in Jirou.” [Rebecca]
She laughed lightly after saying so. Rebecca-san seems to have entered a cute mode after getting a little drunk.
“Arara. Becky, could it that kind of thing?” [Hetty]
“It’s a secret.” [Rebecca]
What could that kind of thing be referring to? Their conversation became secretive all of the sudden so there were times when I don’t get what they were talking about.
However, a ‘slightly unique vocation’ is it…..If it was something like my vocation, ‘swindler’, it might be hard for someone to say it out…. I should demonstrate my trust too if she were to tell me about it.
“I believe in Rebecca-san too. So for me to blab about it after hearing it out of curiosity is something that is impossible.” [Jirou]
“You hear that, Becky? Good for you.” [Hetty]
“Ufufu. Then I guess I’ll say it~…………..though it wasn’t any important or unusual vocation alright? At most it’ll just be at the level whereby I’ll be greatly embarra.s.sed if this was spread around as rumours……My vocation is—-” [Rebecca]
Rebecca-san said it in one breath.
“—-Knight and Scout. I encountered Hetty when I was spying on her mercenary group.” [Rebecca]
