Return the summoned beast and enter the dwarven village. It's on terms with Setia and I don't want any trouble. I report my quest accomplishment to the representative of the dwarven village.

'I didn't expect you to actually defeat the Queen Sandants, I promise. No more talk of clay figures. Also, I will allow you and the others to enter the village.

You can now enter the dwarf village.

Oh! We can now enter the dwarven village!

We're craftsmen, but we're not monsters. We owe a good debt of gratitude to the one who solved the problems we had in this village.

So unexpected.

However, we sell weapons here and there in our village, but we don't give them away!

You're very solid.

Of course. If we give you a weapon for free, we'll all die.

You're right. After discussing it with all of us, we decided to explore it separately in pairs first.

I will be going around with Al-san.

''It's still mainly about weapons, isn't it?''

'Yes. They seem to take requests, and I'm sure the combat jobs will use it more than you might think.

I'm sure that will happen... the requests are concentrated only in Hephaistos, so if I can get here, the requests might settle down.

As I was walking with Al-san, I found a shop with a stone sign. Inside, I found iron ore and other items for sale, as well as bomb materials such as gunpowder.

Furthermore, the shop of the sign of pliers and there were magical nuclei and attribute stones. I locked eyes with Al-san. They both agreed...this village is bad.

The clincher is the sword sign. This is the only way to get in! But there was no sword in that shop. What does that mean? I asked the shopkeeper.

'We used to forge swords, but my husband was killed by the Sandozant. We can't make swords anymore, so we're switching to an ore maker.

It's a shame... and then Al found a hell of a thing.

'Um...I see they sell this book too.

That's right. It was my husband's sword forging book. I'll sell it if I don't use it anyway.

I'm buying!

That's why I got the book on sword forging. Now I'm sure Hephaistos will make a sword for me. But there were several different kinds, and I had no idea which one was better, so I decided to buy them all. They were cheap, so no problem.

Other than that, the dwarven village turned out to be an important place for me to buy Ix's weapon materials.

After that, I returned to Lieprich and served the venison that the fireworks girls were waiting for. Let's meditate on Lilly and the others who are naturally participating.

Giant Deer Steak: Rare 5 Cuisine Grade D+

A dish of grilled giant deer meat. Salt is used to season the dish, and you can enjoy the taste of the meat.

While everyone is getting excited, I get permission from everyone to tell Mel and the others about the strategy. He thanks them for telling him about the enemies' use of martial arts, etc.

After hearing the information, Mel, Full Moon and Lecca speak.

'I see that defeating the Queen Sand Ant will strengthen it.

'In this case, it might be the same if we take out the King Sand Ant first.

'If we beat them at the same time, it's going to weaken them. It would be pretty tough, but I guess it's worth a try.

Further information on the dwarven homeland will be released.

'Don't be rough.'

It was unanimous, Yoichi-san and Hikage said.

'It was fine if it was up to weapon materials, but not attribute stones.

'I'd love to have bomb material, that I do!　We have to get to it soon!

Then Lewin-san speaks.

''On the contrary, that means that the area beyond that is a difficulty level that requires materials and weapons that use them, right?

...

All of us are silent... we've just finally gotten our iron and silver weapons.

That's where Ruin-san gives me information about the quest. He says there's a quest coming for food. My venison is huge and tasty, so he says I'll get quite a bit of money for it. But that thing is hard to beat.

After the celebration is over, I call Setia, Rian and Hephaistos. It's about today's materials, the book, and the magic sword.

"First, Hephaistos. I want you to look at this.

Is this a book about a sword smith?

Oh. I found this in the village of the dwarves and bought it. You think you can make a sword out of it?

I'll have to read what's inside, but I think I can make it from the title.

Okay! Well, it looks like you're doing okay.

So, two swords, please.

I understand!　You'll use a silver ingot.

Hmm?　You haven't made that yet?

'Yes. I put it last because I think Takuto-san will be able to find a good material soon, so I put it last. I'm currently working on Lily-san's and Koibito-san's, so I'll be able to give them to you tomorrow.

Yeah, that would certainly be the last time I'd get a silver weapon. Lily and Love Fire are excited to learn that they'll get a new weapon tomorrow.

And while the sword is important, there is something even more important. I take out my ruby.

"Setia, Hephaistos. I want you to use this to make me a magic sword.

These rubies... were given to you by the dwarves, weren't they?

We can't hide anything.

That's right. You can buy attribute stones from the dwarven village. Setia I think I know you hate dwarves and yet the magic sword Setia makes should be a trump card can't you ask for it?

Huh...Tact-san is so sneaky...if you're saying that much, you'll just have to make it.

Yeah, I think that's not fair. Still, we need to get Setia to make it. Probably because this time around, the last boss is Nebilos.

"My bad...

''Don't apologize...I want to do something about the rotting zombies as well. The weapons you make are Tact-san's weapons, right?

Yeah, one handed sword, please.

They are all surprised to hear that.

'Shouldn't it be a sword?　Tact.

''Ah. A one-handed sword is the easiest to use, and both Setia and Hephaistos would be hard on a magic sword with a sword out of the blue, wouldn't they?

''It's true that it's tough to suddenly have a magic sword in a situation where you haven't even made a sword to your satisfaction.

It's my first time, too, so I still think a one-handed sword is a good place to start.

So my memorable first magic weapon was decided to be a one-handed sword. And I'm still holding on to that and many other things.

'Is the pine wand okay for you, Tact-san?

Hmm?　Is there a reason for this?

'Actually, pine trees don't seem to work too well with elves and mermaids since they become fire wands.

Well, Setia has tree magic, and Lian doesn't remember fire magic. It's not a mistake for me to use it, then.

'All right. Kaede would be a good match for you, right?

'Yes!　It's a perfect fit!　I'll make Liane's zither, too. I think I can make a new bow as well.

I asked him to use a pine tree for the arrows. It would be too much of a burden for Setia alone, so I asked Yug to do the same.

''I want to make a cane out of this, but...no?''

They're all arrows.

You're the one who makes it!

'I cut down the trees, of course I did... when I have time, I'll cut them down and sell them, so you'll have to put the arrows first.

Yug asked me to be careful, but it's an hour of hard work... I hope I have extra time. Then, at Setia's request, I decided to accompany her to the field of treasure generation. First, Setia polished the rubies with lapidary work. Then finally, the treasure ball generation begins.

''Hmm... then I'll create it.

Please.

"Treasure trove generation!　Mark!

When Setia held her wand over Ruby, the ruby glowed bright red and changed shape. And a beautiful crimson ball was created. Appraisal.

Red Treasure Jade: Rare Level 7 Material Item Quality C+
The jewel is created by processing rough rubies and generating jewels. It is also engraved, and its true value is demonstrated when used as a weapon material.

Rareness level 7! Ruby's rarity is 5, so it's up two...I feel like this is a bad idea. Setia checks the workmanship.

'Hmm... it wasn't great after all.

...not so good? Then Setia asks.

'Do you know why the elves clashed with the dwarves about the magic sword, Tact-san?

'What?　Isn't that because they copied our technology?

'Huzzah. We elves aren't proud of our blacksmithing. It's not that we're mad at you for imitating us.

What? That being said, it seems strange for elves to do blacksmithing itself. Then why would an elf make a magic sword? Isn't it because we have a powerful enemy?

''Isn't a strong enemy enough to summon a spirit? This jewel was created by an elf as a gift when he fell in love with a human blacksmith. And the magic sword was created from that gift.

Hmm?　So does that mean it was a human who made the magic sword?

''Yes. The person who created the magic sword quickly became famous as a blacksmith.

Well, when you make a weapon that awesome, you're going to be famous. Well, good, and happy birthday.

But it will be the end of their relationship and they will die for it.

You're talking heavy!

A blacksmith gets a lot of orders for magic swords from the state, but the elves can't let him get away with it, so they break up with him. When he couldn't make magic swords anymore, his magic swords would be confiscated, and he would be put to death for failing to fulfill the state's request.

Ahhh, I'm starting to read the story somehow.

'The reason why the elves were angry is because to them, the jewels were made with their precious love for the elves?

'You are the Tact-sama, aren't you? You're right. It's never acceptable to say something that is mass produced. More to the point, he couldn't tolerate the act of passing it on to others either.

Well, of course... but the blacksmith must have been struggling to make a living as a blacksmith.

That elf is going to die too, isn't he?

'Yes. When she learns that he died because of her gift, she takes the magic sword he created from the country and uses it. That country that killed him was destroyed by the blow of the magic sword, and she died then too.

I see... so the rumors of the magic sword created by the elves spread, and then the dwarves heard about the magic sword, but didn't tell them about the key treasure, so they criticized the elves' treasure, and even went to war.

''Didn't you ever teach the dwarves about the treasure jewel?''

'You can't say. Why should you have to explain your love interest to a stranger?

You're right, but that's how we went to war. So Setia returns to the topic of treasure ball generation.

'Treasure ball generation is inevitably the strongest thing you can put your strongest thoughts into. I didn't put that thought in this time because it was a test. I still think it will be a powerful weapon, so I thought Tact-sama needed to hear about it.

It's true that strong weapons don't always make you happy to have them. It's because everyone wants a strong weapon. I guess I'm responsible for creating them and trying to use them.

'Thank you for talking to me... and I'll keep that in mind.

Yes. Now, Mr. Hephaistos, I'll go to work on it with Mr. Hephaistos.

Setia said that and headed to Hephaistos' place. I thought that Hephaistos, who made the magic sword there, wouldn't be in a bad way, but the fact that he bothered to talk to me about this means that Setia doesn't want to use it on others.

I logged out, thinking of all the different ways to deal with the player.
