(Fana-oneechan, say we all get it together, okay?)
“Yes. We picked it up ourselves.”
“You-, just the two of you on the sixtieth floor!?”
“No. Master too.”
“Master you say…… He is just a baby!”
“Au-aa~”
Yep. I’m just a baby.
“I still can’t believe it…… Anyway, I can make the sword with this thing. Haha, it’s been a long time since my arms rang.”
Zeta laughs fearlessly. Looks like she got serious.
“I need two.”
“I see, dual wielding huh. Alright, it’s not an issue. I’ll give you two Mithril swords, the best of mine.”
Then a few days later. The promised date came, so we went to Zeta’s place to pick up the Mithril swords.
“Here. That’s definitely the best dual sword I made in my life.”
“Mmm, it’s impressive.”
Zeta boasted powerfully as she handed over the completed Mithril sword. Fana picks it up and looks at the blade that shines so brightly. As I was hugged by Fana as she reached the sword, I asked her to lend me one of them.
“Hey. It’s dangerous to give it to a baby.”
While Zeta warned, I focused my magical power in my fist and then I slammed my fist into the blade of the sword.
Baggin!!
“……Huh?”
As expected, it didn’t go as far as breaking, but the blade got countless cracks on it.
“M-m-my masterpiece was… aaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!”
Zeta screams while holding her head.
“Master?”
“Hey, what are you doing!?”
“Hmmm, it’s as expected. This sword is not good at all. If it cracks so easily with such a light punch, it is at most a second-class product or may even be worse. If it is at this level, low-purity mithril would have been sufficient.”
Even though it was made out of high-purity mithril, it was such a waste.
In response to my harsh evaluation, Zeta got furious.
“You brat! To say that to my sword -uh…… W-wait. That baby spoke!? No, more than that, my best masterpiece…… No, hang on…, he just made a crack by putting his fist in it!? I don’t know what’s what anymore!?”
There were so many things going on at once that she panicked. I speak to her as she held her head and screamed.
“Zeta-oneechan, you made this sword only using mithril, right? Unlike low-purity mithril, which has a lot of impurities, high-purity mithril requires a lot of mixtures when making it into a material. You see, even iron becomes stronger when you mix it with carbon.”
Sigh, it seems that she has never struck a sword with high-purity mithril, so it can’t be helped.
“Hey, why are you so knowledgeable?”
“……Babu?”
“Hah! I said, don’t pretend to be a baby when it’s not convenient!”
In my previous life, I used to make various weapons as a hobby.
“It can’t be helped then. I’ll make it.”
“Master?”
“You can even do that……?”
“Well, just watch.”
I secretly take out the mithril that has been smelted and refined from my subspace.
“Hmm, for the mixture…… I like the Red Dragon Scales and the Bone of the Atlas.”
“Red dragon scales and bone of Atlas!? Why would you take such precious materials as if it was so common!? I mean, where did you just take it out!?”
“Crush both into powder…… and then…”
Gyuuuun!!
“Okay, okay, I think it’s like this.”
“Hey, how did you do it just now!?”
“Ah? I just shattered it with magic power?”
As I look at it in powder form, I have an idea.
“And also…… yes, I’m going to use this one by the way.”
I hold a shiny black block of metal in my hand.
“Oh, t-that don’t tell me…..-uh!”
With her lips trembling, Zeta exclaims.
“Isn’t that adamantite?!”
“That’s right. I just happened to find it when I was picking mithril.”
Adamantite is one of the hardest metals in the world. Unlike mithril, impurities are not mixed from the beginning, and it is produced as a metal with a purity of 100%. As expected, I didn’t get much, but it should be enough for a mixture. This should be able to increase the strength significantly.
