(When Reus took on the hordes of undead and threw Bahamut with all his might.)

“Hey, is it really fine that no one has to go outside the city?”

“I’ve heard rumors that he is a ridiculous baby…… but I don’t think he can manage over 10,000 undead by himself……”

“If those undead rush into the city, there will be extraordinary casualty, right?”

The adventurers voiced great anxiety. It was two girls who dismissed it.

“Don’t worry, he’ll take care of it.”

“Mmm. You should believe in Master.”

They are Anje and Fana. Even though they are young, no one can argue with the assertion of an A-rank adventurer.

“You’re right, but we should focus on the enemy in front of us right now.”

“Even though the number of our opponents is small, to be honest, we may not have enough strength either.”

In addition, veteran A-rank adventurers Gain and Emily argued. In their line of sight, they saw the undead heading straight for this building. Zebra is the one leading them.

“Tsk! That bastard is going to make a full recovery.”

As a figure clicked his tongue in disgust, the adventurers who were present and were facing their backs on him exclaimed, “Ah!”

“Guild Leader!?”

“A-are you okay to get up!?”

It was Ark, the Guild Leader, who was in a dying state just a moment ago. He is now behind them looking at the marching undead.

“Yeah, thanks to you, I’m doing great now. In fact, I’m even cured of my chronic illness, I’m feeling better than usual.”

The adventurers are energized by the revival of the former S-rank adventurer, but Ark had a grim expression on his face.

“Be careful, you guys. They’re a pretty nasty opponent.”

Eventually, when the distance between them was ten meters, Zebra spoke.

“You’re really a stubborn guy, Ark-old man.”

“That’s my line. Are you really that desperate to kill me that you even turn into the undead?”

“Kukuku. I actually like this undead body. As you know, I don’t feel pain or fatigue. Even my stats are more powerful than when I was alive. What’s more, the wounds I received will heal even if I leave them alone!”

“Don’t tell me……that skeleton over there is….”

The guild leader glared at the mysterious skeleton right behind Zebra. The skeleton rattles its jaws as it speaks.

“Fu, fufu, fufufu…… You are quite discerning….. That’s right…… I’m Mordea……”

Mordea was supposed to have been burned to death in the square in front of the guild. However, the corpse, which should have been exposed as it was, has now disappeared from the square.

“So you’ve been resurrected as an undead. Just how much regret did you have in this life. But to turn into an undead in such a short period of time…..”

“Fufufu, this is thanks to the power of the Great One…… Thanks to him, I rise again…… Not just undead…… but as the King of the Immortals…… As the Wight King……”

“You call him Great One?”

Apparently, there is someone behind Mordea. Not only did he turn Mordea into high-ranking undead, but he also created hordes of undead that were closing in on the city.

“…… I don’t even want to think about it right now.”

In any case, from the moment he was about to annihilate the group of undead in front of him, Ark felt a chill run down his spine as he readied his spear.

“This time, I’ll send you to the other world!”

Zebra rushed in. Ark instantly intercepts it. With a violent metallic sound, they crossed each other in an instant.

Thud!

The head fluttered in the air. It was Zebra’s head that fell to the ground and rolled over.

“……Wha-”

“I’m sorry, but I don’t have time to deal with you for too long.”

With Zebra’s eyes wide open, Ark immediately turns his attention to Mordea, who has turned into the Wight King.

“Fufufu, letting your guard down…… is your greatest enemy, isn’t it……?”

“What?”

“Guild Leader! It’s dangerous!”

“Huh!?”

Ark turned around and saw the body of Zebra leaping towards him with his head missing.

『Masteeeeeer! 』

Thrown into the middle of a pack of undead, Bahamut cried like an abandoned puppy.

(Please help me, Bahamut. ……I don’t have anyone else to turn to. You’re the only one I can count on.)

“Fuaaaaaa! For Master, I’ll do my bessssssst!』

Bahamut, a jet-black staff, transforms its appearance while erupting a ominous mist. On the other hand, it increased rapidly in volume, until a jet-black dragon stood in the middle of a horde of undead.

“Oaaaaaaaaaaa!!”

Just with the roar of that manifestation, all the surrounding undead were blown away. That is the most terrifying ancient dragon, the counterpart of the light dragon, Lindwurm. In other words, the dark dragon, Bahamut.

To be honest, it is an ancient dragon that can be said to have the same attributes as the undead, but those things are no match to it. With a simple flick of Bahamut’s tail, which had countless thorns, more than a dozen undead were instantly reduced to a miserable minced meat. If it’s a low-level undead, it won’t be able to move anymore. As the giant ancient dragon swept through the hordes of the undead, I soared further into the sky and moved into the northern forest. It’s the forest where the hordes of the undead supposedly appeared.

“Mmmm, there must be a mastermind of this incident somewhere…… Oh, there he is.”

I descend into the forest, hiding myself with the concealment magic that has already been activated.

“An ancient dragon!? …..Just where did it come from……?”

A suspicious man is stunned by the appearance of Bahamut.

“At this rate, my undead army will ….…”

“Hello.”

“Huh!?”

When I greeted him, the man hurriedly looked back at me.

“Who are you……? Huh? ……A human baby?”

“Yes.  A cute little baby that is.”

“A human baby is talking……?”

The man, who instinctively steps back, has horns on his head, red eyes and bluish skin. As I expected, it seems to be a demon. And there is no doubt that he is the cause of this undead spree. From the looks of it, he must be a much higher level demon than the previous one. They are similar as they use monsters, but this one also masters necromancy and seems to have complete control over the undead.

“That group of undead was Uncle’s work right? You also made the Nightwall and you are the one behind why the criminals in the prison turn to undead.”

“…… So what if that’s the case? What are you going to do?”

“I will defeat Uncle then. Otherwise, the undead will continue to be born forever.”

In the immediate vicinity of the demon, there was an ominous black vortex. Apparently, this is the source of the undead, and new zombies and skeletons are still being created from there and were heading to the city.

“It’s quite an advanced necromancy. I wonder if it’s directly connected to the underworld?”

“…… My servants, do it!”

When the demon commanded, the undead rushed towards me all at once.

“Fireball!”

“““~~~~~~!?”””

With beginner fire magic, zombies, skeletons, and living armor can be wiped out all at once.

“The skeletons and living armor…… just with a single blow of fire magic….”

The demon was shocked. Zombies are vulnerable to fire, but skeletons and living armor are not.

“You’re not just a baby after all…… But what about this? Immortal knights!”

The black haze released from the hands of the demon forms the figure of a knight astride a horse. Eventually, as many as five knights appeared, surrounding the demon as if to protect their master.

However, they do not have anything from the neck up.

“A dullahan huh.”

“…… Do it.”

The Dullahans, armed with assault spears, rush towards me all at once.

“You’re merciless to such a cute baby like me. Holy Ray!”

“““~~~~~~~~~!?”””

The light of purification burned the Dullahans. In an instant, their body turned into smoke from the place where they were exposed to the light, and eventually, they disappeared completely along with their horse.

“.…H-Holy attribute magic? You can even use the magic thaaaaaat?”

“Anti-curse!”

I broke the curse that the guild leader was subjected to.

“Extra Heal!”

Then I healed his wound with healing magic.

“That should do.”

“Oh, he is really cured…… As expected, with you here, everything can be managed.”

Sigh. I can’t do it like before after all. Both physically and magically, I’m still far from my level in my previous life and there’s a lot of magic that I can’t use. Fortunately, I was able to use Extra Heal without the assistance of my staff.

“I’ll ask the guild leader about the details of the situation after he wakes up…… However, I still can’t figure it out. There has been no movement since then. It’s so quiet there that I can’t believe it was occupied by undead.”

Gain looked solemly at the Adventurer’s Guild.

“Aren’t they resting during the day because they are undead?”

“Hmm. Then why don’t we get in there now?”

It is true that the undead are vulnerable to sunlight. As a result, their daytime activity tended to slow down. But that is not the case with a high-ranking undead.

As I am thinking about that, it suddenly became dark outside the window.

“W-what is this? It suddenly it got dark……?”

“T-this…… this is a lie, right!? The sun…… it is disappearing!?”

The time is before noon. The sun, which was about to rise to its highest point, hides itself as if swallowed by darkness.

“This is…… It’s unusual. The magic of creating the night—the Night Wall.”

Time did not advance on its own, nor did the sun disappear. It is a magic that creates a temporary night by obscuring the sun with darkness. It is a high-level dark magic that requires a lot of magical power. I don’t know who used it, but it turned the area into an environment where the undead could actively move.

“……It’s their doing!”

“……There seems to be some movement.”

However, the report that came after a while was not from the Adventurer’s Guild.

“I-it’s bad! A horde of undead is attacking from outside the city!”

“Whaaat!?”

“Outside the city? Not from the guild?”

Since I couldn’t quite understand the situation just from that report, I decided to jump out the window and use flight magic to check the situation from the sky.

“Oh-, that’s quite a number.”

Looking out of the city from the sky, I saw a swarm of undead, probably over 10,000 in number, marching towards us from the northern forest. People who were trying to flee the city are turning back in a hurry.

I returned to the building.

“There were more than 10,000 of them, zombies, skeletons, and living armor.”

“T-ten thousand!?”

“Hey, stop joking at a time like this….uh, Reus-kun?”

“You’re not kidding, are you?”

“T-then…… this is terrible, isn’t it?”

Just as Emily was rendered speechless, there was movement inside the Adventurer’s Guild. One after another, undead criminals emerged from the building.

“It’s a horde of undead from the inside and outside……”

“Master, what should we do?”

Perhaps the undead in the city are few but powerful, and the undead approaching from the outside are not very strong, but they are numerous.

“We’ll probably have no choice but to split our forces into two….…”

“W-we don’t have that kind of strength, do we?”

Gain and Emily panicked. After some hesitation, I suggested.

“Hmm…… Then leave the undead outside to me.”

If this happens, it can’t be helped that I will stand out a little. But if that number of undead were to enter the city, there would be a lot of deaths.

“Master alone?”

“Yes. So I’ll leave this to you two.”

“Will you be okay? No, that’s stupid for me to ask.”

So, in order to destroy the hordes of undead that are coming from outside, I fly out of the building alone. At the same time, I took out Bahamut from my subspace.

“If there were other people, they would be a hindrance.”

『Masteeeeeer! Great!』

“Poito”

『Eh?』

Seeing the approaching hordes of undead, I threw Bahamut with all my might.

“I asked you to do the rest, Bahamut! Go on rampage in your original form!”

If there were other people, they would get caught and surely die.

“Reus! Great! I’m glad you’re here!”

“Uncle-ojiichan? What’s the matter? Why are you in such a hurry too?”

Zeta’s blacksmith workshop in the slums.

As I was teaching Zeta my knowledge of blacksmithing as I had promised, Gain, an A-rank adventurer, rushed in.

“The Adventurer’s Guild is in trouble! The Guild Leader too!”

“Huh?”

“I’ll be wasting too much time if I explain it here. Come with me right away! Fana and Anje, you guys too!”

Prompted by Gain, who looked that he was drained of blood, I temporarily stopped teaching Zeta and we hurried to the guild. 

I didn’t know because we were in the slums, but as we got closer to the center of the city, the louder the commotion. A large number of people with luggage on their backs were apparently trying to flee the city, which caused a huge traffic. This is not a good way to go on the road, so I decide to jump over the house. As we jumped from house to house, Gain told us what was going on.

“There was suddenly a group of undead inside the guild?”

“Yes. It happened in the middle of the night, and I only heard about it this morning so I don’t know the exact details. However, there are reports that criminals who were imprisoned have turned into undead.”

There was also a large prison facility on the large grounds of the guild. As of last night, more than 100 criminals had been imprisoned there.

“The adventurers and staff members who were in the guild at the time fell prey to them and were turned into undead as well.”

“The undead are multiplying the undead…… Just by imagining it, this is surely a dangerous situation……”

Anje’s face turned pale.

But turning the dead into an undead is a trick that only high-ranking undead can do. Combined with the story of the criminals turning into the undead, there is no doubt that there is a powerful undead involved.

“Over there.”

When we approached the Adventurer’s Guild, Gain did not lead us that way, he goes towards a large building a little farther away. I’ve passed by it several times, but I’m sure it was a general store that sells a variety of products.

When we entered the premises, I saw adventurers guarding the entrance with their weapons drawn. Apparently, adventurers and staff who have fled the guild are using this building as a temporary base. I ran into the building and came to a space where products were normally displayed.

They must have been attacked by the undead, and the wounded were lying there. Healers are busy healing the injuries of the wounded. Meanwhile, it was Emily, an A-rank adventurer, who shouted loudly.

“It’s no good after all…… I can’t believe that the healing magic doesn’t work at all!”

She holds her head and screams in despair. We approached her and,

“Emily, I’ve brought Reus!”

“Uhm, what’s going on? I mean, this is….”

The person Emily was trying to cure was the head of the guild, the head of the city. A deep wound, which probably reached his internal organs, ran across his chest.

“……Last night, the guild leader was also in the guild…… Apparently, he fought the undead.”

Gain announces while furrowing his brows.

I see. Wounds from high-level undead should be cursed so normal healing spells and potions won’t work. A young man interrupted from the side.

“By the time I stepped in to help, this was already the case.”

I’ve seen him somewhere. I’m sure he was one of the A-rank adventurers who was with me when I was attacking the Rebellion base.

“I can’t believe that a former S-rank guild leader would suffer such a wound…… What kind of undead were there?”

The young man answers Anje’s question.

“…… It was Zebra.”

“Zebra…… Huh?”

“Yes, I’m sure! He had fallen close to the guild leader. But…… He is no longer Zebra. He was clearly an undead. Even though his neck was about to fall off, he was still laughing and talking after all.”

Zebra was also sentenced to death and was awaiting execution. He should have been imprisoned for that…… But he turned into an undead and attacked the guild leader, who was also his greatest enemy.

“Hey, Reus-kun, can you do something about it……?”

“Yes. At times like this, we need to lift the curse first, Anti-curse!”

For the time being, I decided to break the curse that was consuming the guild leader.

In the square in front of the guild.

Right now, a criminal was tied to a pillar and was about to be executed. He is Mordea, an elf who is the former deputy guild leader. He is a senior member of the anti-adventurer guild organization called Rebellion and he is guilty of deceiving the guild and getting into a key position. Of course, he was given a death sentence.

“Kill him quickly!”

“You’re the one who disseminates that abominable magic potion!”

“What a villain!”

It’s also a public execution as demonstration. A large number of people gathered in the square to catch a glimpse of the situation, and they hurled insults at the elf. Some of them threw stones, which struck Mordea several times.

“~~! ~~!”

“I’ll allow you to say your last words.”

The person who ordered it was Ark, the guild leader who served as a witness. The gag that sealed Mordea’s mouth is then removed. At that moment, Mordea cried out in tears.

“P-Please! Please forgive me…… I will spend my life paying for the crime I committed! That’s why…… Please, spare my life!?”

A stone hits Mordea in the head.

“Are you begging for your life at this time?”

“Because of your magic potion, an acquaintance of mine has become an outcast!”

“Die to atone for your sins!”

More yelling is heard. Mordea’s crimes had already become widely known to the public, and their group had aroused tremendous anger.

“…… Do it.”

“G-guild Leader, Ooooooooou!?”

Ark gives a signal mercilessly. Then the executioner casted a spell. A ball of flame hits Mordea directly. However, it was just a shot of magic. Elves with high magic resistance will not die at this level. But then, the second, then the third, and so on, was fired one after another. In order to prolong the pain that the sinners would feel, the executioners deliberately avoided lethal level magic and thus burning Mordea little by little.

“S-stop! P-please…… stop. I don’t want to die yet…… uguaaa!”

Moldea writhes in agony inside the flames and continues to plead desperately. Of course, no one listened to him. Then the execution lasted for an hour. Eventually, the beautiful elf’s body is scorched black, and it became a miserable appearance to look at. For a while, it was left there for display.

Midnight.

In the square in front of the guild, which was no longer popular, the elf’s corpse was still there. A suspicious shadow slowly approaches it.

“……Oh, such deep-seated grudge.”

The shadow murmurs happily.

“What’s more, he’s an elf and a high-ranking magician. This would make a great body.”

A vicious magical power erupts from the shadow, enveloping the elf’s corpse. Then, the scorched flesh crumbles into ash. Eventually, in the dark night, a skeleton appeared. In the depths of the eye socket where the eyeball has been lost, a blue flame lights up.

“Now, wake up. From now on, you are my faithful servant. Follow my order and destroy this abominable city!”

“……As…… you wish…”

The skeleton begins to move. The destination is the Adventurer’s Guild.

“Huh? What was that? Did something pass just now?”

“No, nothing. Maybe it was just your imagination?”

The guards did not notice the skeleton as it passes through the gate under the cover of darkness. After a while, the former elf showed up in the prison inside the guild where he had been held not long ago.

The innermost cell for felons.

“Huh!? What!?”

Sensing a disturbing presence, Zebra, the leader of the Rebellion, jumped up on the shabby bed. He, too, had been sentenced to death and was awaiting his execution.

“……Undead!?”

Zebra braces himself against the mysterious skeleton that suddenly appeared in his cell.

“What the hell is going on?!”

“…… Zeb..ra…. it’s…….me….”

“This magical power…… N-no way….. is that you, Mordea!?”

“You, too…… Great…power… for that….person…..become…immortal…too…”

“What are you talking about?! W-wait! Don’t come closer……”

“Don’t be….afraid……there’s…nothing…..you can do……Anyway……you too…… execution…… you are… going to die….. I’m going to ….…”

“S-stop it! A,aaaah! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?”

Screams rang out in the cell, and then it fell silent.

The city is ruled by the Adventurer’s Guild. As a result, there is a vast prison facility within the guild where not only the members of the Rebellion but also all the criminals who have committed crimes in the city are captured. All such criminals suddenly turn into undead and run away.

It didn’t take long for them to take over the Adventurer’s Guild.

The next day, I made the second sword. It took a lot of magic to make one, so I had to do it the next day.

“It’s amazing. I think I can defeat a Red Dragon now.”

Fana is unusually excited with two swords in her hand.

“Hey, you’re the only one who has cheats!”

“? Anje fights bare handed though. You don’t need a weapon.”

“Uh-, well, that’s right….…”

Looking at Anje, who looked at lost, I said,

“I’ll make a weapon for Anje-oneechan, too.”

“R-really!?”

“Yes. How about combat gloves? In that case, the way you fight will be the same.”

That’s also why I decided to make a combat gloves for her to wear. Gauntlets would have been fine, but for Anje, who used to fight with her bare hands, battle gloves would be easier to use because they don’t limit the range of motion of the wrists and fingers too much.

Now let’s prepare the materials. First of all, for the leather, it will be Atlas’ hide, which is both durable and flexible. It will be used as the main material. After creating the gloves with this, the back of the hand and the wrist were reinforced with mithril, which was mixed with the same adamantite as Fana’s sword.

“Finally, grant the same magic as the sword…… yes, it’s done.”

“Wow, that’s amazing! I feel like I can destroy anything with this……”

“Would you like to try it?”

I hold out the other Mithril sword that Zeta struck.

“Hey! Not my sword again……”

“Haaaa!”

Bakiiin!

Receiving Anje’s fist, the blade was easily shattered.

“…… My confidence is shattered……”

“Well, don’t be so discouraged. I’ll teach you how to do it as promised.”

“Master, u-ooooh!”

Zeta hugs me with teary eyes. As I thought, she has pretty good breasts. She said she would do anything to be my apprentice, so I decided to teach her blacksmithing. It’s difficult to create useful magic like the one I used if you don’t have a talent for magic, but if I teach her how to make it, she should be able to recreate it.

“Ah, I think I’m a little sweaty, Zeta-oneechan. I want to take a bath.”

“I’m going to boil it right away. Wait a minute, Master!”

“I’d like it to be in Oneechan’s bath and you should join me too. Look, as you can see, I’m so small that I can’t get my feet in the bathtub.”

“Of course that’s easy, Master!”

Ufufufu, let’s enjoy it to the fullest.

“…… Erotic brat”

“What are you talking about, Anje-oneechan?”

　　　　◇◇◇

“C-can you really be strong with this……?”

Chris, an adventurer from the Brazel family, was greatly perplexed. A petite girl with unusually large breasts smiled at her.

“Of course! If you do this treatment, you will definitely become stronger like everyone!”

Though she thought that those words were somewhat questionable, at the girl’s urging, Chris lay down on the bed. She still has her underwear on, but as expected, she feels anxious and ashamed to expose her defenseless appearance like this. But this dubious treatment was reputed to have dramatic effects, and she had to wait a month to actually get it. No matter who she talked to in the city, she will be told that she should definitely take it. What was even more surprising was that it was not the girl in front of her who created this treatment, but the rumored baby.

“I’ve heard that it was invented by a baby named Reus……”

“Ah-, uhm…… Actually, he’d like me to keep it a secret if I can. But since you already know, it doesn’t matter anymore I guess……. That’s right. I learned this from Master, and that’s how I was able to do this.”

“Who the hell is that baby……?”

“I’m troubled what to answer to that question too…… I just know that all of a sudden, Master came to this city. Then he did one unbelievable thing after another, and before I knew it, he was gone.”

It’s an increasingly incomprehensible baby.

“Alright. I’m going to start the treatment. Please relax.”

Saying this, the girl slowly ran her hand over Chris’s skin.

At that moment, an unspeakable pleasure struck her.

“Nggh~~~~~~ uah!?”

“Gyurgyurgyurgyur”

As expected, it is painstaking to turn adamantite into a powder. Just breaking up a small chunk of it requires a tremendous amount of magical power.

“Fuu, I think it’s like this.”

I took a breath as I drop the glowing black powder into a bowl.

“Then, from here on, I’m going to mix each powder to the mithril.”

I did not mix all three powders together in mithril. Instead, each of them is mixed separately to create three types of mithril mixtures.

“First of all, Mithril and the bone of atlas.”

A lump of mithril floats on a vessel containing the powder of Atlas’ bone.

“Ei”

The powder was quickly sucked up into mithril.

“W-what was that just now!?”

“Ah? It’s substance mixing magic.”

“……Substance mixing magic?”

“Yes, it’s a blacksmithing spell that mixes two substances together. Don’t you know that? It mixes evenly and it’s very convenient.”

Next, the red dragon scale powder is mixed with mithril. Lastly, adamantite and mithril.

“Alright, I’m going to use these three types of mithril mixtures into a sword.”

The softest mixture (atlas’ bones and mithril) is sandwiched between the tougher mixture (Red Dragon scales and mithril) and the hardest mixture (adamantite and mithril). In this way, by changing the hardness depending on the location, it is possible to increase both the resistance to breaking and the cutting power.

“W-what is that formula? I-I’ve never seen or heard of such method……”

Ignoring Zeta who was so astounded, I applied heat magic lightly to glue them together. Next, make it into the shape of a blade. Normally, it would be a very steady work of hitting it with a hammer while applying heat and stretching it little by little, but I also did it with magic. The red-hot blade slowly stretched out and changed into a shape that looked like the blade of a sword.

“I can’t believe you are not even using the furnace!? Just what the hell is happening!”

“It’s blade formation magic. This way, it’s more uniform than hitting it with a hammer.”

“Blade formation magic!? Anything is possible for you, right?”

Eventually, a beautiful blade was created. It’s mixed with adamantite and red dragon scales, so there’s a hint of black and red in it. Nevertheless, it’s a sword with a stunning mithril glow.

“It’s incredible. I’ve never seen a sword like this.”

“….. Just looking at it makes me feel like I’m drawn to the blade.”

“And finally, grant a spell on it.”

Mithril, which has a high magical affinity, can be casted with multiple spells.

“Increased attack, increased agility, increased evasion, increased critical rate, automatic health recovery, natural healing—”

“W-wait a minute!? I mean, you can even use granting magic!?”

Zeta interrupts me in the middle, but I ignores her once more and continues.

“—Various resistances, shock reflexes…… Mmm, I think that’s the limit.”

The magic applied to the sword is only a supplementary one. It’s not like it can increase your stats that dramatically, but it’s still good to have one.

“Here, Fana-oneechan.”

“……It’s amazing.”

Fana gasps as if she is fascinated by the sword.

“I want to slash something.”

“How about this?”

What I found was the Mithril sword that Zeta had made.

“H-Hey, that’s my……”

“Anje-oneechan, take this.”

“Is it okay to do it this way?”

Anje holds the sword appropriately. With the Mithril sword I made, Fana unleashed a slash.

“Haa!”

Pikin!

The severed blade flew through the air and pierced into the ceiling. Of course, the one that broke in two was the Mithril sword made by Zeta, and the one I made didn’t have a single crack.

“The sword that I struck with great care was….. aaaaaaaahhh!!”

“Completely different.”

Zeta nodded in dismay.

“Ha, haha, hahahaha…… Apparently, I was a frog in a well……”

Then, she suddenly looked up as if she was completely relieved. She suddenly knelt down on the ground, facing me.

“Oooooh… Master, Please make me your apprentice!”

“Uh-……”

I said, looking at the cleavage that I had glimpsed as she bowed down.

“Then… I’d like you to hold me (grin).”

(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.

No longer looking at the man run away, the woman with the eyepatch quickly turned around and walked back inside the building. She was probably in her mid-thirties. Her black hair was tied loosely and she didn’t have makeup on, but nevertheless, she is a beautiful woman with a chiseled face.

“I wondered if she is blacksmith Zeta. I had heard that she was a woman, but I thought she was much older.”

“Maybe it’s her daughter?”

Having such conversation, we went to the building. The woman who was sitting in the chair in a bad mood looked at us and snorted.

“What’s the matter this time? You guys look like to be adventurers, but this isn’t the place for little girls and a baby like you.”

“Are you Zeta, the blacksmith?”

Ignoring the other person’s words, Fana asked.

“……So what if I am?”

“I want you to create a sword for me.”

Fana answered bluntly.

“Hah!, there are a lot of reasonably skilled blacksmiths in this city. I think you should go ask them instead. That’s enough for you.”

“What I want is a mithril sword.”

“……Listen to what people say. When it comes to mithril, it’s even more unsuitable for a youngster like you.”

Zeta spoke with a fed up look on her face, but Fana continued without care.

“I was introduced here by the Adventurer’s Guild.”

“From the guild? A little girl like you?”

“Right. I’m an A-rank adventurer too.”

“……Hmm. I see, I think you do have the minimum ability to hold a Mithril sword.”

Zeta slowly gets up from her chair.

“But that alone is not enough for me to judge…… Come to the back. I’ll see if you’re up to the task.”

Zeta picks up a sword that was placed nearby and walks out of the back door of the workshop. We followed behind. On the way there, Fana tried to give me to Anje, but Anje refused, saying,

“Why do I have to hold him? He can stand normally.”

I had no choice but to forcibly jump over to her and hug her big breasts.

“Hey!?”

“Babu?”

Then we came to a place that looked like a vacant lot. Zeta, who was waiting there, is confronted by Fana.

“A battle?”

“Yes, that’s right. Don’t think I’m just a blacksmith. Even though I look like this, in order to obtain the necessary forging materials, I have dived into that dungeon many times by myself. I won’t lose to adventurers.”

Zeta pulls her sword out of its scabbard.

“Hn.”

Fana also drew her two swords in response.

“Huh…… This guy is….…”

Zeta gasps at the sight. I’m not sure what she is thinking, but she silently observed Fana intently for a while.

“Hmm, looks like it wasn’t a bluff.”

She snorted as she sheathed her sword.

“Ah? Aren’t we going fight?”

“Oh, you don’t need that. You deserve the sword I struck.”

It seems that she recognized Fana’s ability without a fight. She turned back and walked inside the workshop. Back at the workshop, Zeta showed us the Mithril that had been refined.

“This is Mithril. It’s the ore I got in the dungeon. It has been smelted and refined repeatedly to make it as pure as possible. I use this one to strike a sword.”

As confident as she is, her mithril is giving off a not-so-bad brilliance. However, the purity of the original Mithril ore was not so high, so it was not a bad stop.

“I want you to use this.”

Saying that, Fana handed out a high purity mithril ore. The moment Zeta saw it, the color of her eyes changed.

“What!? Oi,oi,oi what a pure mithril ore this is!? I can tell just by looking at it! Where the hell did you get it!?”

“Dungeon”

“In what floor of the dungeon!? I can’t get such stuff on the 30^th floor which I often go to!”

“Sixtieth floor”

“Huh? ……S-si-sixtieth floor you say?! By any chance, did you guys dive down there and pick it up yourself!?”

“Oneechan~, I’m back.”

I went up from the 60^th floor to the 30^th floor at once. Fana and Anje, who were at stand by on the 30th floor, were waiting inside the barrier I had created. It is a convenient barrier that can be entered and exited freely, and when inside, it has a concealment effect topped with a healing magic. With this barrier as a base, it should not have been a problem for them to explore the surrounding area.

“Isn’t it too fast!? Did you really go to the sixtieth floor?”

“Of course I went. Here look, this is the mithril ore from the sixtieth floor.”

The sparkling high purity mithril ore made both of them widen their eyes.

“It is certainly very different from what we got at this floor.”

“Un. I feel a great presence of magical power.”

“But I think it’s better not to deliver this to the guild……”

“Eh? Why so Anje-oneechan?”

“……You didn’t want to stand out, right? The guild shouldn’t have expected such purity of mithril ore. Besides, wouldn’t it be strange if it appeared when it can only be mined at the 60^th floor? Even if we are A-rank adventurer, it was noted that the recommended level is barely up to the 40th floor. There are probably only a few adventurers in the world who can make it to the 60th floor.”

“That’s right. But I’ve seen someone on the sixtieth floor.”

We had just passed each other on the stairs. He appears to be a solo adventurer too. That is why I thought such mithril wasn’t that unusual.

“Well, let’s just say Oneechans picked it up.”

“You won’t impose it on us…… will you?”

It seems to be no good. Anje was right, this mithril ore would not be delivered to the guild. Instead, let’s say we serve a low-quality one from the 30th floor. It was decided to take the high-quality mithril ore directly to the blacksmith.

In this city, which is said to be a sacred place for adventurers, there are many skilled blacksmiths. When we returned to the ground, we went straight to the reception desk for A-rank adventurers. In addition to the mithril ore, we also submitted the materials for other requests obtained along the way.

“All of these mithril ores in such a short period of time…… And uh-……the other requests are submitted as well….”

The receptionist-oneechan was astonished. It’s only low purity, and the number of them was collected by breaking down a few walls, so I don’t think it’s a big deal though.

Anje whispered in my ear.

“…… Look, I told you. If we had taken out the mithril ore that you had mined alone, it would have been a huge commotion.”

“Well, it seems so, and I’m glad you mentioned it Anje-oneechan.”

Little by little, I have to learn the common sense of today’s world.

“I’m going to do my best to be a normal baby.”

“I think that’s forever impossible….”

After reporting the request, we decided to go to the blacksmith. When I asked the receptionist, she gave me the names of some skilled blacksmiths. Among them, we went to a person who is said to be the most skilled person in this city. But that person was said to be quite fastidious and selects his customers, so even the Adventurer’s Guild only introduces him to a small number of adventurers.

“It’s like a genius craftsman.”

“Hmm, it looks promising.”

We then came to an area outside the center of the city. The tattered houses are scattered around, and all I see are people in shabby clothes.

“Slums?”

“It appears so. I wonder if there is really such a skilled blacksmith here?”

I also had a map drawn so I’m sure we are not in the wrong direction. Then, out of nowhere, I heard yelling.

“What do you mean you can’t make my sword!?”

“Well, as I said earlier, you’re not good enough to handle the sword I made!”

“Hah!……I’m not good enough!? What do you know about me when you are just a blacksmith who could only make swords huh!? Don’t mess around, just be obedient and all you have to do is strike my sword!”

It was in a building that looked like an old workshop. It seems that there is some squabbling there. Just as I was about to look inside, wondering if it was okay, a man was blown outside.

“Guaa!?”

Later, a woman with an eyepatch covering one eye appeared and coldly spoke to the man who is lying on the ground.

“Don’t show your face in front of me again, Idiot.”

“Hiiii……”

The man hurriedly stood up and ran away.

“Uhm…… The map says it is here but….…”

“Is that person a blacksmith?”
