Now, on the workbench is a single sword without a single blade spill and a jewel-like crimson ore.

　The thing to do itself is no different from the case of the white and silver swords.
　All you have to do is [disassemble] and [synthesize] each material.

　The question is whether or not the finished product will have the performance to satisfy Sakura.

Then, what should we do for the first part of the synthesis? As far as I'm concerned, I think it's better to start with about 10% and adjust it.
'Can't we start out with only scarlet gold?'
'Yeah, that's the one: ......'

　In order to answer Sakura's question, I pick up an unrepaired, tattered knife and a basket with scrap iron that I bought as a restoration material.

''Even if you evolve, 【Restoration】 is still 【Restoration】. You need a base material, and if you don't have enough base material, you won't get an exact shape. For example, you see, like this.

　The iron powder generated by [Disassembling] the knife, which was only the blade, was placed on a pile of iron scraps with a pinch of iron powder to activate [Repair].

　What was completed after consuming some of the iron scraps was a plate of iron with a somewhat sharp tip, far from being the blade of a knife.

'Mm, I see. This is useless, isn't it?

　Sakura holds it in her hands and stares at it intently.

　【Restoration】 skill is only the ability to restore it to its original form.
　The possibility exists that it will never become a form superior to the original form like the Silver White Sword was, but on the contrary, it will end up being an imperfect restoration.

''I'll explain it roughly. The 【Restoration】 skill is based on the memory of what the tool used to look like in the past," he said. So, if the ratio of the base material is low, this thing won't work as well.

　This in itself is a feature of the [Restoration] skill itself, which has nothing to do with the evolution of the skill.

　In fact, there are many other factors involved, but since it's not relevant this time, I left it out of my explanation to Sakura.

　Furthermore, the user of the skill cannot grasp this 'memory'.
　Just like the process of [Decomposition], it's part of an automatic effect that is triggered automatically.

'By the way, if you're a guy with a low skill level, it's tough if you don't have more than 90% of it left, but if I have half of it left now, I can fix it for sure. It's like the original function of the skill has been enhanced as well as the function of the skill has increased.
''But you still can't make a scarlet-colored gold-only sword this way: ......

　Sakura is blatantly shabby.
　But the explanation is still in progress. It's a little too early to be depressed.

''No, you might be able to do it. We just need to wait for the 'shape memory' to take hold of the material of the tool.
What do you mean?
"After synthesizing the hibiscus seeds into swords, after enough time, we decompose them and combine them with hibiscus seeds ores based on the hibiscus seeds that were used to make swords. In this way, we should be able to make a sword made entirely of hibiscus.

　It's a bit complicated, but the logic is simple if you think about it in order.

　First, I make the iron sword and the baboon kane [synthesize].

　Next, he waits until that hibikikane has a "memory of the shape of the sword".

　Then, I disassemble the sword and separate the hijikiro-kane that has the memory.

　Lastly, I synthesize the separated 'memory' possessing the 'memory' and the new 'Hihiirokane ore' to make a sword.

''(What a puzzle-like secret technique, even for me)'

　Although not necessarily immediately, the "memory" of the shape can be found in the parts that are replaced by the【Restoration】.

　It is even said that the original constituent materials were finally lost from the tools that were used after repeated 【Restoration】 many times.

　Sakura listened to my explanation with a scowling face, but eventually her shoulders began to shake with joy.

'Ho, it's true!　It's real, really, really feasible!
It's not proven yet, though. Right now, we're experimenting in the shop's warehouse to see how long we can get it to lie down.

　I came up with this method when I was preparing a large quantity of goods for the shop.

　At first I thought of it as a way to make a sword out of just the metal of the labyrinth walls, but there were too few materials to try out in a variety of ways, so I'm experimenting with just iron swords and common metals.

　I still haven't felt the urge to dive into dungeons, but that doesn't mean I haven't thought about developing products that make use of dungeons.

　If you're not going to return to adventurers, then this kind of device should be even more necessary.

''Then please use the fastest and shortest way possible!　This time, I'm going to make a sword with a ratio of fifty percent scarlet and gold, and then I'm going to remake it with a hundred percent after the proper time!
You're sure?　Surprisingly, the alloys might have better performance than you're used to, huh?
'That doesn't make sense!　Do it!

　Apparently, the client (Sakura) has a reason for wanting a 'pure hibiscus kane sword' other than simple performance.

　As a weapons dealer, I can't refuse them if they go so far as to say no.
　This is a legitimate business that received the reward for defeating the dragon as an advance payment.

Then let's start with the original materials and the baboon kane in half. Activate the skill ......[Synthesis] and begin.

　As the magical power enveloped the material, the sword and the ore fused together, and at the same time, the original material of the sword became fragments that were flung out.

　The sword produced in this way is the same shape as the original, but...

I'll be d*mned.
'Wow!　Beautiful colors!
What a stunning ...... a true cherry color. ......

　We all three of us were admiring the beauty of the hijikiro-kane's sword blade.

　The pale red sword is a different shine than the silver and white swords.

　It's not just a matter of time before you'll be able to see the difference.

It's like the original scarlet color has been diluted by mixing with ordinary steel. Sakura, is there any problem with the quality of the workmanship?
'Excellent ...... Lord Luke!　Would you mind if I went outside the restaurant to try it out?
'I don't mind, but it's time to reopen for business, so I don't want to disturb the other customers.

　Following Sakura outside with a glint in her eyes, me and Sylvia headed to the storefront.

　A few adventurers who were waiting for the break to dawn outside were looking at Sakura in the distance.

''Tools made of scarlet gold are said to pass heat well and amplify it. If it exhibits these properties, it should be able to be said to be perfected as a Scarlet Scarlet Gold Sword.
Okay. But how do you know for sure?
I'll use my skills.

Sakura quickly reached out and a small fire lit up at her fingertips.

''Whoa!　Fire!
Ignition skills.
''Yes. I'm still not at a high enough level to be able to use it for direct attacks.

　There are several types of skills that deal with fire.

　For example, there are many magic-based skills like 【Black Magic】 that allow you to learn fire-attribute magic.

　As for more specialized skills, 【Flame Technique】 is a typical example.
　It's a rare skill in its own right, but it allows you to control fire like a limb.

　[Ignition] is not uncommon compared to those, and its performance is not very high.
　It's a skill that is more useful as a useful seed fire that can be used anywhere than as a means of attack.

''Let's see how it feels to use it normally first.

　Sakura held the light red sword and began to wield it in a flowing motion.

　It's not like a knight's swordsmanship.

　It's a good thing that you're able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it.

"All right, now let's light the fire and--

　While Sakura continues her dance, she crawls her fingers over the light red sword blade.

　A spark of [Ignition] is poured on the sword blade of the Hihirokane, and it is filled with heat and light that can be seen even from a distance.

　The sword dance performed in this state left a shimmering flicker of shimmering flames along the trajectory of the sword blade, creating a fantastic fluidity.

　Eventually, the heat of the light red sword blade subsided, and Sakura stopped her sword dance and turned to face us.

'Luke-dono!　Can you throw something to test the waters?
'What!　A trial run?　...... Is that right?　C'mon!

　He threw a fist-sized piece of wood that had been left over when the building was [restored].

　Sakura poured the sparks of fire back into the blade of the Hihiyrokane and swung the sword out with unnoticeable speed.

　An arc of fire.
　The severed piece of wood burns up in the blink of an eye and falls to the ground in a blackened state.

　The slash of flame didn't stop there, it turned into a 'flying slash' off the blade and scorched the ground in a straight line, causing dense shimmering flames to flicker on the trajectory.

'...... Excellent, Lord Luke!　Thank you!

　Not only me and Sylvia, but the adventurers who were present at the scene also rolled their eyes in amazement at the scene in front of them.

　Among them, only Sakura alone has a big smile on her face.

　A similar attack could be achieved with a skill like 【Flame Technique】.

　But that was the other side of the coin, just by using the low-ranked skill of 【Ignition】 as the seed fire, he was able to demonstrate an effect that was close to a higher-ranked skill.

　Considering the difference in magic power consumed by 【Flame-Jutsu】 and 【Ignition】, this one was clearly more efficient.

　Moreover, this was with 【Fire】, which he called himself a low level skill.

　If he were to light the fire with a higher level [Flame Technique] skill or a higher level [Ignition] skill, how much firepower would he be able to produce?

''Is it the sword of the baboon kane, ...... by any chance I've built an extraordinary thing ......?

　While my head is filled with amazement and confusion, a different feeling rises up from deep within my chest.

　This is elation.

　I'm trembling with excitement deep inside as I realize that my own potential is expanding.

'Lord Luke!　There's still some baboon kane in the rough, so next time I'd like you to process some of those sidings too!　I want to make two of these!
Yeah, I got it!

　This time I felt that his response was much more confident than the first time I had undertaken the processing.
