Vol.2
Ch.22 - Then it's the big announcement.
"Hoh, this is......"(Sondark)
Sondark who unsheath and looked at the blade intensely as he muttered.
A one-handed sword that curved from the middle of the blade to the tip. The knuckle guard is also attached to the handle.
What I gave to Sondark was a "supernatural" quality saber.
The material is steel, the decoration has been kept to a minimum, and it is a product of actual battle specification.
"This thing is made for a light cavalry, it is not strong enough for clashing but slashing or swinging down in a static stance is more powerful than the current direct sword, try to test it."(Taichi)
I placed the Sabers on a big table. 30 in total.
Basically, the sword in this world is a straight sword, though I thought about watching various kinds of weapons in this world. There is almost no curved sword.
No, it does not mean that curved sword is superior to the direct sword, but if you use it on a horse, a sword like a saber can make use of its sharpness.
If it is a straight sword is using for thrust, the power at the time of slash will inevitably drop.
If you do a melee fight with cavalry, saber should be quite useful. From now on, it will still be in time for the actual trial deployment.
"Okay, let's arrange quickly, and on a schedule, it was decided on one week later, this is a detailed schedule."(Sondark)
I look through the schedule.
Because the Hero was found in the Karendale Kingdom for the first time in 50 years, he will perform a demonstration and a ceremonial ceremony of the Hero with the pretext of nominating. At the same time, it will also announce the important event.
It seems that such declarations will be put out across the Kalendale Kingdom.
It seems that other countries will declare similar contents on the same day.
Other is the schedule of the day in detail.
Roughly depart from Royal castle, and march to the new town. After that, the announcement of me and Marl's in the new town, then the announcement of the Great flooding and return from the new town to the castle.
"After the announcement, how much freedom are there for me and Marl?"(Taichi)
"Basically you will act together with the army and the Knight Order and subjugating monsters around the capital."(Sondark)
"I will not working for free, and I am planning to raise the overall strength by making ma.s.sive amounts of high-quality weapons, just give me some time to make it."(Taichi)
"Oh, of course, but can you really ma.s.s-produce these high-quality weapons?"(Sondark)
Sondark said that and saw the saber that piled up on the table.
"Since I'll only make the blade, please arrange craftsmen to do the rest. If I just make spears and sword blades, it is not a ha.s.sle that much, it is the most troublesome decorating. This is a sample."
I said so and place three longswords and three shortswords, and three more long spears on the table.
All of them are supernatural quality.
"In addition, please list up the number of people who can use the magic strike and the weapons they use, I will make weapons for those talents with Mythril and these weapons materials will you arrange them?"(Taichi)
"Oh, oh........ I got it."(Sondark)
Sondark reply as he thought with his hands on his chin.
So I decided to add one condition.
"I will set the friendly price, but there are conditions to supply these weapons, do not monopolize them in the Kalendale Kingdom, supply it to other countries. Of course, even if you want to supply by selling or politics channel. But just spread these as much as possible and reduce as many as possible the victims. This is also my wish."(Taichi)
"... What if we did not keep it?"(Sondark)
"Do you want to hear it?"(Taichi)
We look at each other eyes for a while.
All the weapons I made incorporate magic seal.
Well, it's a secret seal for tracking that was the same that used for tracking me.
The secret seal is more like academics and knowledge than skills.
It is relatively easy to use if you know how it works, and when you got a Smithing level 3, you came in with the way to create a weapon.
The secret seal is incorporated in the blade of the weapon that I made. At a level that does not become unusable after sc.r.a.ping.
If Sondark or the Karendale Kingdom ignored my request, I will use it to break all the weapons and roll around.
Sondark exhaled as if he had lost.
"Is it okay for us to receive more supply?"(Sondark)
"That's fine, I leave the paperwork to you, is it your specialty right?"(Taichi)
"Oh, leave it to me"(Sondark)
Saying that Sondark laughs with a grin.
The face of this guy laughing and smiling is a bad face that no matter where you put it. He is likely to say "as planned".
Let me be careful. He can be a business partner, but it is dangerous to trust him fully.
"As for the blade, I will make it as quickly as possible, so I will ask for materials as soon as possible."(Taichi)
"Of course, Hero-dono" (Sondark)
We firmly shook hands.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That's why they decided to announce it in a week, so we have to go to order the armor to be equipped on that day from now."(Taichi)
"We just change our armor though."(Marl)
Marl looked at the schedule which I got from Sondark and laughed a bitter smile.
I think so too. We spent 50 gold coins as well.
Well, that's fine.
"Defense power isn't a problem, we need it to look good."(Taichi)
The troll hide armor and the Mithril chainmail are plain because they look just like normal leather armor equipment.
I have received an official paper from Sondark to use the country's budget, so there is no problem about money.
Let's go around and take a peek at the armor shop inside the wall before going to Peron-san's place.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh, hey."(Ritz)
"Yo, is Peron-san here?"(Taichi)
I went and take a peek at the armor shop inside the wall, then Marl and I reached the Peron's armor shop.
Ritz-san gives a sharp look to my words.
"What are you doing, don't even try to ogling my honey."(Ritz)
"No, thanks. I have a Marl."(Taichi)
"Are you saying that my honey has no appeal!?"(Ritz)
"Peron-san, come quickly!"(Taichi)
I'm ignoring Ritz-san whose I can't understand and call out to Peron-san loudly.
At that moment the door behind the counter opened swiftly and something flew and hit Ritz-san's head.
It is an unrefined iron ore.
I feel that is not something you throw at the other to make a gag, or this is really a gag? Ritz-san head just hit the counter and there is nothing like blood.
"I'm sorry for this idiot husband, so what do you want today? Your armor just took a maintenance before, or you come to delivery the dagger again?"(Peron)
Peron-san shows me a new dagger corner beside the counter.
Several of the delivered daggers seem to have already been sold so there is some free s.p.a.ce.
"It seems like its selling well."(Taichi)
"Of course, if they had some discerning eyes and money, they'll buy it immediately."(Peron)
Peron-san smiled. Well, I do not know how many fall for this smile.
Ritz-san was fallen a bit too deep though.
"Today's I came to ordering new armors, I want it gorgeous and eye-catching, performance can come later, I want a Hero-like design for me, for Marl's design, a little princess feeling."(Taichi)
Peron-san made a strange look on my order.
Well, please look at the order later.
"What is the budget and due date?"(Peron)
"Because I will use it after a week, so it will be within six days. And for the budget, here."(Taichi)
I show Peron-san a letter I got from Zontag.
Peron-san received it with her eyes saying "What is this?", then she gave a look of surprise.
Contents are "Taichi Mitsuba and Marl are a kingdom-certified hero and follower, so please make everything they want with utmost effort, Kingdom will be the one who paid for it." something around this.
"And I thought you weren't just some normal guy.................. Heh"(Peron)
By saying that, Peron-san scanned me from head to toes.
Ritz-san would fall to the ground if you look at him with such a gaze, but I just feel a little embarra.s.sed about it.
I do not have any hobbies that are aggravated as it is seen in fluff. It would be better if you see it.
"But are you OK with us? There are stores that can handle luxury goods better than ours inside the wall."(Peron)
"Of course I've checked it, I thought that Peron-san's is the best."(Taichi)
"I'm pretty honored, you have very keen eyes."(Peron)
Then she gave me a full smile.
A young lady who smiles fairly with full confidence, it's not something you can see anywhere.
"What should it make of? Though it's heavy, Black steel has high magic defense and physical defense, Mythril is light and well-balanced, Crystal has high magic power amplification capability but brittle, and this one is Orichalc.u.m It's impossible not to make it in time, even if you want it to."(Peron)
"I want Mythril, it's should be enough!"(Marl)
"Well, the crystal with the magical power amplification effect is also good, but I want a light thing, so it's a Mythril."(Taichi)
"Yeah, Mythril is good if you think about the purpose cause it looks nice, you guys seem to like light armor."(Peron)
Peron-san also agreed with us.
She remembers the size of the armor at the time of adjustment and maintenance, so it seems she does not have to refit it.
She also said that she will devise it to be able to overlay on Mythril chainmail. I am thankful.
"Well then, the order is given, please bring it to the mansion if you can."(Taichi)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Marl and I bought materials such as ore and medicinal herbs in a Commercial guild and came back to the mansion.
And from that point, it is already production days.
I just continue to make sabers, long swords and short sword blades and long spearheads.
I swinging the hammer without thinking.
If I get tired, I'll take a break and flirt with Marl and exchange our magic powers.
Marl is preparing various magic potions.
However, there seems to be something she thinks about, she seems to be stocking up recovery potions considerably.
Recently it seems that 'good' or 'high quality' recovery potions are made by Marl.
She occasionally goes out to a Commercial guild and does a request for delivery materials.
The budget came from the selling of recovery potion.
At dusk, after dinner, I take a bath and let Maybell step---- ma.s.sage me.
I feel that Maybell's eye----- while she ma.s.sages me look doubtful lately. I must be overthinking.
Of course, I flirted with Marl at night.
Eventually, we will use Origin magic from either side. It's not good, we're addicted to it already.
I think that I understand the meaning of the name Origin magic. The act itself is in itself is a meaning.
Until now I have not been conscious of it's being existed because I did not know it's existence.
I can't escape anymore after I know it.
And this magic, act of exchanging magic power with each other is getting better.
On the first day we only managed to exchange about 5 MP in a minute but now we can exchange 30 in a minute.
Also, since it is not possible to grasp Marl's MP by the numerical value.
I can not say clearly, but when MP circulates at the same speed with each other, her MP is probably being amplified.
In other words, circulation of MP with each other using Origin magic, the MP recovery rate is tremendous.
Though it is hard to keep reason.
Another amazing thing was to use magic and to express magic by releasing concentrated magical power through Marl.
By pa.s.sing Marl's right hand from my left hand and releasing the concentrated magic power from Marl's left hand.
However, it's no good, it makes Marl went pale.
But, thanks to that, it seems I got a sense of using magic.
Maybe this way I can make Marl memorize magic.
But it seems to be a heavy burden on her body, so let's held back for now.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And comes the day of the announcement.
"Oh, you look like a princess, Marl."(Taichi)
"Because I'm a princess! Taichi-san look just like a Hero"(Marl)
"Because I'm a Hero!"(Taichi)
We laugh together.
We equipped ourselves with a Mithril armor made by Peron-san and was waiting at the entrance hall of the mansion.
I am equipped with a silver-colored plate armor.
The main part is covered with plate armor made of Mythril, and the gap part is covered with Mythril chainmail, thereby enhancing the overall protection.
Indeed it was a heroic design, with some blue ore embedded in the breastplate.
This blue ore if you refined it, it'll float, which was seen in the warehouse of a Commercial guild before.
The name seems to be a floating stone as it is.
And the amount in the market is small, so it very expensive.
But armor weight can be reduced by embedding it in armor.
In fact, although it is plate armor, it feels lighter than the troll hide armor.
Marl is equipped with greenish shiny Mythril Armor.
Even though it called Mythril Armor, the armor covers only the minimum necessary part of the chest and belly.
At first glance, it's just some beautiful dress with armor on it.
However, this dress is actually the main part
This dress is not made of silk or the like, but a Mythril thread that is woven in a minuscule net pattern.
Defensive power is higher than some cheap plate armor, and it's might even harder than my Mythril armor because it is woven with a technique to impart physical defense up magic.
And on the forehead, the circlet I made shines.
This thing automatically detects the attack and create defense barriers by itself.
However, it does not generate such a strong defensive barrier.
If it is about the attack of the goblin it will be able to prevent it without problems, but it won't withstand the troll attack.
It is like a motorcycle helmet.
Marl seemed to like it quite a bit as an accessory and smiled all day when I gave her.
That night's service was also amazing. I thought that I was sucked dry.
By the way, for me, regardless of Marl's Mythril Armor, I am wondering whether it can use in actual warfare.
Why? Because it is too conspicuous, in many ways.
"Master, Marquis's personnel has come to pick you up."(Jack)
"Okay, let's go."(Taichi)
"I'll be back!"(Marl)
"Be careful!"(Maybell)
We're being sent off by Jack-san, Maybell, and Flam.
Flam did not speak a word, but she was quietly lowering her head. I guess there are also some complicated parts.
We have properly talked, though. I have not touched her in any s.e.xual sense.
I mean, there is not a single skinship.
By the way, recently Maybell is close to me, is it because I have taken the skinship properly?
Although it is comparatively unilateral skinship.
Well, sorry. Even if you say skinship, but the other side is an adult woman, I'm in trouble. Should I think about something?
Well, since our circ.u.mstances are little awkward, it may be that there is a part when I also avoided her unconsciously.
I guess I will think about something after all.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Wow, this is what to says, I feel unsettle."(Taichi)
"Haha, this is not my first time, but I understand that feeling."(Marl)
We marched around Alfen on a luxury two-horse carriage with cavalry.
The cavalry around us has the saber on the waist. It was what I gave to Sondark.
Many people are turning their eyes to the Hero and his follower, though many people are cheering, some people like adventurers or craftsmen are turning their eyes towards unfamiliar swords at the waist of cavalry.
We are perfectly being out on the show.
At my side, Marl's gorgeousness is stealing all the gazes, so I'm less noticeable. There is no helping!
Even if you look at it, you can't be inconspicuous because the cute Marl is wearing a beautiful dress armor.
Even though I am wearing a heroic design armor, the contents are normal.
I do not think that I'm ugly, but it is not like I'm handsome.
It's OK, I am. There is nothing more I can hope for if Marle loves me.
"That is the Hero? Doesn't he look gloomy?"
"The next child is pretty cute, please become my girlfriend than that gloomy!"
Ah!? Who said that again!?
"Wow, those eyes, he surely has killed some people."
"Wait, is not he [Troll crusher]?"
"Who is that?"
"It seems that he can kill troll with bare hands."
"Gahaha! Absolutely a lie. LOL."
"There's a limit of lying, make it more believable!"
"No, it's true, I saw him crushing a mace with his bare hand."
""Eh, what is that, scary.""
What is that?
I feel like I'm being mistaken, but I feel I can keep dignity.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the march and the exhibition are over, next is an announcement at the central square in the wall.
There is a vast central square in the wall.
It seems to be a place where traditional announcements on national affairs etc. have been done.
There is a square of the same size in the new town, but that is called a new square over there.
There seemed to be many royal family members and n.o.bles attending.
I can see the figure of King Kalendale.
And clergy? I can see old people in costumes like that.
And the announcement began.
Though it long and too boring but he explained that the hero was discovered after 50 years in this country and state my name, even after having become an adventurer, in a short time, I slaughtered three trolls by myself, the alias [Troll crusher] was introduced.
Next, it is an introduction of Marl who is next to me.
He explains that she is the princess of neighboring country Mariel Blanc Miscronia, who is the follower of the hero.
And after Princess Mariel received an oracle, leaving her own homeland behind, alone, and found me who is a Hero and support me.
There is about 200% inflated from the fact in the story.
And the Kalendale Kingdom will fully support Princess Marl who is the partner of the Hero Taichi and the 1st princess of the Miscronia Kingdom and also the holy maiden of the oracle.
Bard can sell this story as a poet.
It feels like hearing the story of someone else.
"Uf.......fufufufu!"(Taichi)
"Ah! Taichi-san so unfair! Even though I'm desperately trying not to laugh!"(Marl)
Marl who kept her smile in place without twitching, scold me who is laughing.
The holy maiden of the oracle part is hilarious.
On the first day, we met, drugged and eat Hero deliciously, such a new kind of holy maiden.
There is a serious mistake in the word "holy".
I who following the flow and let that happen, seem to be a Hero(LOL), though, it's a nice combination.
The introduction finishes and the cheers are raised.
I responded by waving my hands to the people while trying hard to hold back my laugh.
Oh, my stomach hurt.
Then, it is a word from the king.
"Citizen of the capital Alfen! There is one other reason to collect everyone today! Listen to our words!"(Kalendale the 14th)
The king started his speech with the loud voice with strange echo, I wonder he was using magic or something.
"After a couple of months from this, a Great flooding will occur, the oracle state it!"
The people fell back for a brief moment and began to rough up.
The situation gradually turns into a rage and fills the square.
The moment that plaza turns into chaos a roaring sound echoed through the square.
Apparently the king instructed someone to m hit something like a gong.
"Do not worry, people! This time we have things we don't in the previous flood! That is the Hero and the fourth wall!"(Kalendale the 14th)
Movement of the people is stopping in the words of the king.
The king satisfied with the situation, Kalendale the 14th gave a satisfying nod and continued his speech.
"From tomorrow, we will take twice as much reward to the ones who have been engaged in the construction of the 4th Wall! Also, we will have a separate reward for someone who contributed to the construction of the city wall! For details please visit the government office, commercial guild, also can see it in the adventurer guild! For the loved ones, for family, everyone, be brave! Protect everyone in the Kingdom!"(Kalendale the 14th)
Cheers broke out to the king speech with something like long live Kingdom and long live the King.
In this way, the Karendale Kingdom began to move in an earnest way towards the Great flooding.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So, what was the name of the Hero again?"
"Ta, ta.......Tights?"
"Not Tiger?"
"I do not remember his face well, ..............Princess Mariel was too cute and I did not even look at him."
"She is The first princess also the holy maiden. Too bad that she is not our princess."
"Our princess is like........."
