Chapter 31.2 - Capital of Dwarf (1/2)
… …. …
「Similar to Modes……….. Though Modes put up a good fight, he ended up retreating to Nargol. Thus due to his own desire, starting a dispute from which both party unable to fall back」 [TL : referring to Rena’s clone]
And then Heibos is smiling lightly.
「But then, this Heibos who is shutting himself in his own small studio and refusing to have any interaction with others doesn’t have the right to say that………… 」
Heibos is muttering such words.
According to Nut, Heibos is always shutting himself inside this narrow workshop and never even goes out to the meeting of the gods. That’s why it was only much later on that he aware the fact about Modes banishment to Nargol.
Heibos feels that he had some sort of responsibilities for that. That’s why he is agreeing to help Modes.
And now, looking at the short sword in my hand.
Those words are basically the highest praise I can hope for.
「Thank you very much」
I’m bowing at Heibos as a gratitude for his praise.
「Can you show me the sword that you received from Modes?」
I unsheated the demon sword strapped on my waist and then giving it to Heibos.
「It’s a wonderful sword no matter how many times I see it. Even this Heibos can’t make this kind of sword」
That was a surprising words coming from him.
「You’re not the one who made this sword? 」
Heibos is shaking his head after hearing my question.
「The one who made this sword is Nargol, the mother of Modes. Nargol who hailed as the god of destruction do have the power to make the weapon of destruction. To the degree that it’s beyond this Heibos skill. In fact, as long as it is limited to weapon, Modes can make a weapon which is rivaling the weapon created by me. But the person himself aren’t too eager to make any weapon. And then, I think you might be able to do the same thing」
The power to make a sword.
In short, the power of swordsmith might be included to the power that I got after summoned to this world. But the world of sword is too profound to the point that there’s a saying “One whole life for polishing”.
Though I did in fact received a bit of lesson from a swordsmith of my master acquaintance, I knew that it isn’t something that can be understood just by such brief lesson.
And that might be the reason why I could make an article that won’t lose to dwarf to the point of precise movement after coming to this world. That’s why I might not be able to make a sword at the same level of the one that I showed to Heibos if I was in my old world.
So he said that while returning the short sword.
To whom should I give this sword I wonder.
Though on my side, Kuna’s making an expression of wanting this short sword, I want to give Kuna something that even better than my hand made sword.
「I’ll give you an even better one someday, Kuna」
Saying so, I kept the sword back to my pocket and then patting Kuna head.
Though she looked dissatisfied by my decision, she recovered in the next moment when I pat her head.
「As for the armor, you can find it over there. Follow me」
After saying so, Heibos is leaving the room and guiding us to another room.
The room in which he guided us was filled with armor and helmet. Though I see the same black colored armor with the one I used before, the magical power loaded in it is far more stronger than the previous one.
「Different from your previous armor, I made this one to fit your stature. Though I made it with those scrap of dark knight armor which you wore before, Try to wear it since I’m not very sure myself whether it will fit your stature」
When I tried to wear the armor according to heibos words, it fit perfectly on my body. Despite looking solid and heavy the armor is by no mean hindering my movement.
「Amazing. ………… I can move at ease despite wearing such big armor」
No one can make this level of armor even back in my original world.
「And this one is for this lass」
Heibos is taking out something that look like a long pole. It was a huge scythe.
「This is………….」
「Yup, I’m told by Modes. He asked me to make this one since it seems this lass preferred this kind of weapon. So I made one for her」
After saying so, Heibos gave the scythe to Kuna.
When Kuna is holding that scythe, it’s not too short nor too long for her height. It’s a perfect match for her.
Though I’m reluctant to involve Kuna in battle, I of all people know very well the pain of having no power.
Though I don’t want to involve her in a battle, there’s always “If” in any kind of situation.
「Thank you very much, God Heibos」
I bowed at him while expressing my gratitude.
「There might be something that you’re not willing to give in no matter what, thus I pray for you to be able to protect that」
After saying so, Heibos turned his back.
It seems there’s nothing more to say to us.
After bowing again toward his retreating back, we’re returned to Nargol.
=== === ===
◆Silver Witch, Kuna
We’re back to the demon king castle with metastasis magic.
I’m looking at the scythe which I got from that old man called Heibos a while ago.
Now Kuna can fight alongside Kuroki with this scythe. With this Kuna can become Kuroki’s power.
When I’m trying to swing the scythe, it fit perfectly in Kuna hand. Even so it’s useless if I’m not training in using this like Kuroki.
Kuroki is swinging his sword every morning.
I’m told that it’s something you call as “Training”. Mine is not a sword, so it might be better if Kuna also swing her scythe everyday. Since Kuna can train along with Kuroki in doing so.
「Eh, Kuna-sama…………… W-welcome back 」
I met a woman when I’m walking on the corridor. This woman is bowing when she sees Kuna.
Her name is Regena.
This woman smells fishy. She is always trying to get closer to Kuroki.
I’m Kuroki’s. That’s why one might call that Kuroki is mine too.
Kuroki is so kind to this woman even though he’s supposed to be exclusive to me. That’s something I absolutely can’t accept.
I want to attach a collar to Kuroki and made him exclusive to me only. But, Kuroki might hate me if I do that.
In that case, I have no choice but to do something about this woman aren’t I. How about I kill her? But, Kuroki might be sad if I do that.
