"Oh, are you two here?" I've been waiting for you."

　It was the alchemist Azimov who spoke to Ray and Pamidor.
　Pamidor came to pick up Ray, who was about to study how to eat the goblin meat deliciously today.
　The spear is finally finished, so please come and get it.
　It's been quite a long time since Ray asked me to make him a spear.
　The spear was completed only by the magic sword of the noise, the hammer of the rare species of Cyclops, and the branches, sap, and leaves of the world tree that Marina had paid for when she returned from the village of Dark Elf.
　Azimov's eyes are covered in circles, perhaps because he was also focusing on completing the spear.
　...and yet I am full of motivation, after all, thanks to the completion of the spear, which had taken a long time and effort.
　Ray offers a number of first-class materials that would normally be sufficient on its own use.
　If you sell it, it's a few years... no, it's a material that's worth living with for even a few years.
　In particular, the materials of world trees are very rare, and besides branches, there are also leaves and sap.
　These are not usually very available things.
　That would be hard to get even for merchants dealing with villages in Dark Elves.
　Having had the opportunity to use such rare materials, Azimov, who has a personality of eccentricity, can't help but be nervous.
　Nevertheless, the various rare materials Ray brought were not so easy to use even Azimov, and it has taken a lot of time.
　Pamidor, who was worried about Azimov's near-insomnia and worked with him to cook a new spear for Ray, would come and see him every day and bring him food... but it was like an undead, as it is now.

"Oh, hey. Are you sure you're okay? It's even worse than when I came to see you yesterday. Maybe I should sleep a little more."
"It's all right," for if I give the spear to Ray, he will hibernate for about three days."
"No, you're a human being and you can't hibernate. It's summer now, in the first place."

　Pamidor told me a little in a way that he was still the boss of a thief, and from the side it seemed that he was only threatening a sickly man.

(Should I say it's the right pair or the wrong pair?)...well, it's definitely a good combination.)

　When Ray was strangely convinced by their conversation, Azimov spoke displeasedly, wondering if he felt Ray's gaze.

"Come on in, sir. I'll show you my best work."

　Ray and Pamidor follow Azimov into the house.
　But even from behind, Azimov's walk is shaky, and just looking at him looks very dangerous.

"Are you sure you're all right.
"Even so... I've been paying attention many times, but when I concentrate on one thing..."

　Pamidor mutters anxiously to his friends and business partners. ...as it seems to me that it is only the boss of the bandits who are up to something.

"But, as I said before, you'll sleep soundly for a while after this, so think of taking your spear now."

　While worrying about Azimov, Pamidor's tone is full of confidence.
　I left the finishing touches to Azimov, but it is only natural that when he hit the spear, he had enough to declare that he was the best weapon he had ever hit.
　Watching such a confident smile, Ray and Pamidor arrive at Azimov's lab.
　As a matter of course, Azimov entered the room first.
　She then smiles at Ray and Pamidor and screams confidently.

"This is my masterpiece, the spear of twilight!"

　As Azimov told me, there was a spear... no, a magical spear.
　It's not so complicated in form. There are more carvings on the handle than the spears that are usually sold in shops around the area, but they are still only a few.
　An unusual place would be that the tip of the ear was also engraved with something.
　Such imitations on the tip of the ear usually weaken its strength, but the spear now named the twilight spear in front of Ray is different.
　The figure is not much different from the spear that is usually sold in arms stores, but the presence itself is different.
　a magical spear with such a magnetic charm as to captivate the viewer
　The spear has the mysterious power of a first‐rate article over the viewer.
　But when Ray saw it, he opened his mouth, fascinated by his spear.

"What's missing?"
"Yes, that's right!"

　Azimov screams at Ray's muttered words.

"... oh! I can see that the mere sight of this spear is of the finest quality, but I can see that something is missing."

　Pamidor muttered, looking at the spear in the twilight... and glaring at Azimov with that deadly expression.

"Hey, Azimov. What's going on? Didn't you make such a half-baked magic item?"

　If that's the case, I'll never forgive you. As he clenched his fist, Azimov smiled and spoke confidently.

"Calm down, Pamidor," I can't afford to cut corners in the face of such excellent materials."

　Normally, Pamidor's attitude may frighten him, but Azimov doesn't seem to care at all whether he is absolutely confident in his twilight spear.
　Pamidor must have decided that there was something wrong with Azimov. draw one's attention to the end of a conversation

"This spear of twilight, as they have noticed, is not yet finished. Oops, I'm still in the middle of explaining."

　Ray tries to interrupt what he says is not finished, but Azimov interrupts it and continues to explain.
　Maybe it's because it's a description of the magic items I've created. Azimov's gaze was directed at Ray with a more eloquent air.

"The last finish of this twilight spear... is that Ray casts his magic."
"... magic? Like when you activate magic items?"
"Oh, by adapting Ray's magic in that way, the spear of twilight is truly complete."

　When Ray was told with a big smile, he felt Pamidor's gaze and moved slowly to the front of the spear in the twilight... reach out.

"By the way, the reason why the spear is light green today is because it uses leaves and sap of the world tree."
"...it looks like bread,"

　Somehow I remember Azimov putting vegetable juice in dough and noodle dough.
　Not only Azimov but even Pamidor could not help laughing at Ray's words.
　Once the urge to laugh has subsided, Ray sends his magical powers into the twilight spear he once again mentions... as if Ray had first entered the village of Dark Elves.
　What is different is that Azimov and Pamidor were not aware of the pulsation.
　Only Ray with a twilight spear in his hand can feel the pulse.
　But... the next change was evident in the eyes of Azimov and Pamidor.
　because Ray's twilight spear had turned red.
　twilight... the spear turns red, vermilion, and red by Ray's magic, as he said it was a remnant of the sunset just after sunset.
　Yes, as if it were worthy of Ray's nickname, crimson.
　When all the spears in the twilight changed color, the color of the spears in the twilight turned red as a base color, and the pattern of green ivy appeared on the handle of the green spear, as if to paint out the original decoration.

"This is..."

　I felt a little unsatisfactory when I saw the spear in twilight. It's nonexistent now.
　Ray understood that this was the moment when the evil spear, called the twilight spear, was truly completed.

"It's done."

　Azimov muttered as if to confirm Ray's feelings.
　The smile on his face is a satisfied smile.
　a smile of confidence that one's work was finished in the most perfect way
　In fact, Azimov's feelings are by no means wrong.
　It was no mistake to say that the magic spear in Ray's hand was definitely a first-rate magic item."...what is the power of this spear?"

　Ray's brief inquiry opens his mouth with a satisfied smile.

"First of all, the person who is injured with this spear will heal the wound slowly. It's not that healing is impossible, it's just that it's hard to heal, so it's possible to recover if you use high-level recovery magic or high-quality ports. This is the effect of the hammer you brought."
"Didn't that hammer give the owner the ability to regenerate? Isn't it the exact opposite of not healing the other person's wound?"
"Everything is two sides of the coin. If a good effect is reversed, it will have a bad effect. Well, that's the way it is."

　I didn't know the details, but Ray can still understand the benefits of slowing down the other person's healing effectiveness.

"It would be a pretty advantageous effect if it were a battle of endurance." and how hard, in particular, will it be?"
"That's not the case. It depends on the amount of magic you put in your twilight spear, how resistant your opponent is to magic, your physical condition, and where you are fighting."
"...it's slightly hard to use that the effect is not constant. For the time being, if it works, should I take it as if I were lucky? -- anything else?"

　Azimov continues to explain to Ray's question as if he is convinced that he still has other abilities.

"Ray basically used a spear as a weapon for throwing, didn't he?
"Oh,"
"And it seems that throwing spears is basically disposable, but this twilight spear is different. Throw it and hit the enemy before returning to the user."
"That's... another very useful function,"

　the throwing of spears in Ray's long‐range attack
　As Azimov said, spears are basically disposable.
　However, if this explanation is true, the spear will soon come back to you even if you throw it.
　At Ray's remark that it was convenient, Azimov smiled... but spoke carefully.

"I wish you to be careful, however, that the spear of the twilight might feel it, but it is powerful. ...it's too strong. Throwing spears in particular has the effect of hindering the enemy's recovery from injury.'
"In other words, in some cases, disposable spears as before are better than twilight spears?"
"That's the case. Ray, get used to using it himself."
"Then, for the time being, I'd like to use it for a moment, but what about the backyard of this house?"
"It's not wide enough to throw a spear. I'll follow you, so if you want to try it out, you'd better use it at the guild training ground."

　When Ray and his party heard the words, they went straight to the guild.
　...and Azimov, with his dark circles around his eyes.





　Ray, who came to the Guild's training ground, was understandably in the spotlight.

(With Seto, it would have attracted more attention.)

　Suddenly, Ray sees his partner acting separately to play with the children.
　However, it was Pamidor that is now attracting attention.

"Hey, there's a guy with a very bad face."
"...wow, really. But if everyone's not moving, you're probably not a bad guy, aren't you know.
"What, don't you know? He's a good blacksmith in Pamidor."
"The blacksmith!? ... wow." It doesn't look good on you know.

　In the midst of this conversation, Ray, Azimov and Pamidor move to a deserted place to prepare.
　The target was a doll used in archery practice.
　First from the doll, he takes the twilight spear out of the mistling about 10 meters away.
　Rumor! The others who saw the spear in the twilight start to make a fuss.
　It's only natural that even if you don't have the ability to sense magic, you have what you can call the finest magic item at first sight.
　Still, Ray's collection of magic items that can be used in actual warfare is as well known as collecting magical stones, and he is convinced that a skilled adventurer like Ray should have such magic items.
　With that gaze... Ray throws a magical twilight spear.
　He made a piercing noise, and went straight to the target... when the doll's head disappeared, it disappeared, and the next moment it was back in Ray's hands.
