-- Eventually, the mock lab battle came to a successful end.

　It was worth a lot of effort and time spent, and it yielded a large amount of valuable data that could be used as a reference for future activities.

　Particularly important would be the limited awakening of the medallions, including those given to him by His Majesty, as well as the actual operational testing of the sword made by Adamant in conjunction with the medallions.

　The sword still hadn't achieved mithril processing and magic crest imprinting, but even with the exception of that, it was still an unfamiliar weapon to use.

　New powers and new weapons.
　It could be said that it is essential to gather data for proper operation and further familiarize oneself with it before taking on a real battle.

　Of course, the harvest is not only that, but according to Ambrose, new insights into the magical side of things can be gained, and in certain areas, there is potential for great development.

　Then, leaving the cleanup to Chandler, Eddie and the others, we moved to a smaller workroom to analyze Ezell the Brave's sword--

'I'm really happy about that garnet I saw earlier. It was cute and cool. ......
'It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I don't give a shit about how good you look when you're trying to beef up to fight Agart Ram.

　Ezell, a brave man who is immersed in the afterglow of watching the game, has a dumbfounded look on his face as if he doesn't really care about it.

'No, no, no, looks are important. No matter how good your performance is, you can't wear unattractive equipment when you might die dressed like that. Isn't the same true of knight's armor?
It's a good idea to have a design that is intended for that purpose. It's a good idea to have a more hexenbiest-like appearance.

　I didn't interrupt and went ahead with my preparations, but I could agree with Ezell's argument in a double sense.

　It is rather common even for adventurers to use the appearance of equipment as a criterion for judgment.

　There are many people who think that since their lives are on the line, they shouldn't be concerned about appearance, but even those people often have a 'minimum appearance that they can tolerate'.

　These people are warning against excessive flamboyance, but not against the aesthetically offensive appearance.

　It is also common with Miranda's shop owner's concerns, but the adventurer's equipment can become a deadly bundle.

　It's a natural human desire to make sure that the way you die is not ugly, if you can't avoid falling to your death.

　...... Incidentally, the other 'endorsement' is the topic of the limited awakened garnet's figure, which is cool or cute.

'Oh, I wish I had been allowed to touch her ears and tail.
Enough chit-chat. Let's get to work.

　When I told him that, Ezell quickly broke off the banter and moved to either side of me with Garnett.

　Two swords lay on the workbench.

　A mithril-alloyed Ivaldi sword.
　The sword of Gandalf, the demon king, made of pure adamant.

　It's a good thing that both swords are worthy of being called the greatest swords in the world, but the former has a magical mechanism that increases the effectiveness of skills, while the latter is simply given superior performance as a sword.

'I hope I can find some kind of clue with this: ......

　As usual, I hold my hand over my right eye to activate the 'Right Eye of Wisdom' and furthermore place my left and right hands on each sword.

''Activate the skill ...... [Analysis] start ......!

　Simultaneous activation of the analytical means that are viable to me now.

　The structure of the two swords created by Ivaldi is read by the 'Right Eye' and [Analysis] in parallel.

　Neither of them is an ability to decipher everything just by using it randomly - although it's not simply proportional - but it can be expected to increase in efficacy the more power is poured into it.

　If you've set up the situation so well and didn't know anything about it, then you should consider this approach itself wrong.

.............

　I started as a crooked weapons dealer and have used my skills on a good number of swords.

　That experience tells me that these swords are truly excellent pieces of skill.
　These swords are truly made with superior technology.

　Even if they used the same tools and materials as an ordinary blacksmith and had them strike the same shape, Ivaldi's sword would have achieved a much better performance.

'(The internal structure common to the two swords ...... This must be like a habit of Ivaldi's. Since they were made by the same person's hands, the working procedures are very similar, leaving a similar structure inside the metal. ......)

　As my concentration increases, the sensations transmitted from all but my hands and 'right eye' fade from my consciousness.

　The presence of Garnett and Ezell, who are watching over the analysis work next to you, will also fall out of recognition before long, and you won't even notice the normal vision of your left eye.

"(......) That means that if you find a structure that can be co-(s) communicated to the two swords, it must be a property that only Gandalf's sword has...(......)

　Gradually, the vision of my right eye sharpened, and I felt that I could see smaller and more detailed structures.

　Before I knew it, I even began to feel a kind of elation, and I became absorbed in the 【Analysis】.

'' (I see ...... perchance this isn't ...... one type of adamant that makes up a sword?　(I use adamant of slightly different qualities depending on the part, and the perfect balance of them may be ...... to achieve the sharpness.

　There are a thousand different types of steel that are not adamant.

　As I recall, Alexia also said that there are multiple types of simple steel, and that they are used differently depending on the parts.

　Sakura's sword also had a structure made up of multiple layers of steel, but this sword was much more complex, delicate, and difficult to recognize at first glance.

''(If that's the case, ...... I've simply made the mithril [synthetic] all over, and I've upset this balance. But ...... that degrades it to the point where it can be slashed with a normal sword, how hard is adamant a product to process? ......)

　If I look further into my eyes, I might be able to find out more about it.

　The moment I thought that and put magic power into my "right eye".

　--You'll be able to see that it's a very good idea.

　There was a sound like something breaking.

　It's not that the sword was damaged, rather it sounded more like it was coming from a place closer to the right eye--

Luke!

　With Garnett's cry, my cheeks were slapped hard and my consciousness was rapidly pulled back from the depths of my concentration.

　I look up to see Garnett, breathing heavily in anxiety, grabbing my face with both hands and looking up at me from up close.

'You noticed!　That right eye, you're not okay!
Right eye?　...... Ouch!

　For some reason, the pain was near the corner of my right eye.

　When I gently touched it, I found a crack in the skin, and although there was no bloodshed, it was causing a tingling pain.

　I immediately activated 【Restoration】 and closed the wound and at the same time deactivated the 【Right Eye of Wisdom】.

''...... It's okay. Maybe I put a little too much magic power into it. For now, that's about it for today.

　While calming Garnett and Ezell, who were looking worried from the bottom of their hearts, I put away the two swords for now.

　I'm aware that this is an optimistic hypothesis, but I decided to settle it on that theory for now.
