　My armor is complete.

　When Amako and I heard the news from Mr. Farga, we first went to call for Mr. Aruku and Nair, who were resting in their room. Mr. Alc was awake, but Nair did not come out even though we knocked on the door of his room.

　I turned the doorknob and found the door unlocked, so I went in to find her lying on her bed with all her limbs thrown out.

　I was disgusted by her carelessness and decided that it would be difficult to wake her up in this state, so I covered her with the bedclothes and left the room.

　In the end, the three of us (me, Amako, and Aruk-san) came back to the hall where the throne was located.

　The only person waiting for us in the throne room was Norn. Where is Leona?　I asked her if Leona was waiting for him, and she said that she had already gone to see Falga.

　We headed for the basement as soon as we arrived at the hall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We stand on the floor in the center of the hall and go down to the basement like an elevator. When we arrived at the basement in a few minutes, we saw the large body of Mr. Farga and Ms. Leona standing in front of him.

　Was they talking about something?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Farga took one look at us as we came down to the basement, let out a deep sigh, which was not like him, and spoke to Leona, who was slightly downcast.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Leona. Don't forget what I just told you. If that's what you want to do, go ahead. But understand that it is an abhorrent practice."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... Yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She bowed silently and looked back at me, seemingly a little overwhelmed.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps Norn-sama thought the same thing as I did, but he approached Leona with a worried expression on his face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Leona, what were you talking to Mr. Farga about?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"About the next battle with Kalon. She was scolding me for saying something unworthy of her earlier. Don't worry, it won't affect what we are going to talk about.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... so."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　About the battle with Mr. Karon, huh?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm sure he's not lying, but it's still a little bit tricky.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Norn-sama doesn't seem to be able to explain anything either. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"We have been waiting for you, Usato.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sorry to keep you waiting. So, I heard you finished my armor. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Not exactly finished, but one step closer. It is you who will complete it."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Don't tell me this is going to be technical?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Pointing at myself in surprise, Mr. Farga continues to speak.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Don't worry, what you have to do is not so difficult. The important thing is to have a clear intention. What kind of power you seek, and how you will handle it, will be the core of your desire that will give form to your armor.

　A silver sphere flies out from Mr. Farga's mouth and floats around him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps that was the small sword of the brave I had given him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sphere stopped in front of Farga, and then it came in front of me. I received it with my right palm and felt a strange sensation from the sphere, which had no definite shape.

"I wonder what my armor will look like. ...... What do you think Amako will look like?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"A club, a mallet, a morningstar, an iron ball."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Can you tell me why it's a blunt instrument?　Okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now I know what kind of image Amako has of me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think I'd fit right in with the blunt objects, but I'm not savage enough to have that image of me.

"Ha-ha-ha, Usato-dono seems to be good with shields and such.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I can also think of an armament that takes advantage of his agility: ....... Hmmm, Usato has so many possible candidates for armors, it's hard to predict what he will come up with. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On the other hand, Leona and Aruk are serious about predicting my armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In fact, I myself do not know exactly what kind of armor I want. I have an image, but I am not sure if it is the right armor for me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mr. Farga, after this ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Just remember. Just remember what you are, what you have been. Then my fragments will naturally take the form that best suits you."

"My,path......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I meditate, feeling the presence of the sphere on my palm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The beginning of my path so far began on the day I was involved in Inukami-senpai's and Kazuki's summoning of the heroes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　On the day I arrived in this world, I joined the lifeguard corps.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Trained by Rose, I ran through the battlefield for the people fighting for the Kingdom of Lingle. As a member of the lifeguard corps, my deepest desire was to help those who were hurt, to prevent anyone from being saddened by someone's death, to be recognized by Rose ......, and to help Inukami-senpai and Kazuki.

　In Lukvis, he met Nack.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He was suffering from Mina's abuse, and I pointed the way to the rescue squad. It was the same way that Rose told me what I should do in this world.

　The evil dragon we fought on our journey to Samaritan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The resurrection of the evil dragon, which was also the cause of this incident, was at one time a major event that almost put many lives in danger. In the end, Amako, Mr. Arc, and Bulrin joined forces to defeat the evil dragon, and the matter was resolved without the loss of any lives.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And then, the curse of Samaritan.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Princess of Samaritan, Eva, struggled to destroy the curse that had been eating away at her body. All this was caused by a sorceress who had been seduced by the existence of a hero, but in the end it was resolved by freeing the souls of the people and the royal family of Samaria who were trapped by the curse and by restoring Eva's stolen body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a long but short road.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was seriously injured, my spirit was almost destroyed, and my life in this other world was filled with so many ups and downs that it is hard to imagine, but strangely enough, I didn't think it was hard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In any case, I met many people in this world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The countless connections I have made with people, just off the top of my head, are proof that my journey so far has not been in vain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So, I want to cherish those relationships.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't want the power to hurt someone or to defeat someone.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I want the power to protect. The kind of power that can repel any threat as long as I can reach it.

"......The sphere of Usato's hand changes shape: ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I open my closed eyes at the sound of Amako's voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sphere on my palm was shining and flowing, covering me from my elbow to the end. I was strangely calm at what would normally have been a startling sight.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After about ten seconds, the light that covered me from my elbow to the tip of my hand emitted a rainbow-colored light, and then dissipated into the air as if it had burst into flames. What remained on my arm was a silver basket hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There were no fancy decorations other than the scale-like patterns of Falga, and there were almost no gaps, but I did not feel at all that it was difficult to move it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is my ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is more like an armor than a weapon, but in a way this shape was to be expected.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I tried to rotate my wrists to test it out, but it was still much easier to move than it looked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"......As I thought, you are different from that young fellow, aren't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Mr. Farga?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Let's see what you've got.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, sir.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He shows his right hand to Falga-sama, who looks at him with deep emotion.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His eyes showed a magical pattern, which brightly illuminated the hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After staring at the hand for a few seconds, the expression on the face of Mr. Farga became slightly distorted. Is something wrong?　Then, Farga-sama, who had erased the magic from his eyes, opened his big mouth and started to laugh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"!?!!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Lies!　Falga-sama laughed!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Not only us, but also Leona and Norn who knew him were astonished to see Farga-sama laughing so loudly that it echoed in the basement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Finally, after a while, Master Farga looks down at us and says in an amused voice, "I'm so happy!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm sorry. It was so unexpected that I couldn't hold it in. It's been a long time since I've opened my big mouth and laughed. I thought my heart had withered away and that I would never laugh again, but you never know what might happen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, um, is something wrong ......?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, no, I've made Shenlong laugh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The evil dragon was giggling vulgarly, but I didn't think that I had not only surprised but also made Mr. Farga laugh.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Could it be that this is not a good thing?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As I was worried, Falga-sama pointed at my cage hand in a rather good mood.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

The baskets you have created are incomparably strong and impenetrable. High heat, cold air, and even magic cannot pass through it. Simply put, it's just an incredibly hard basket hand. That's all."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"You said it so simply, didn't you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Normally, this armor would be branded as a piece of junk. That's just as well. A basketsuke that is merely hard has too limited a use. But if you are the one to handle it, it's a different story. Leona, you who fought Usato, you know what I'm talking about."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Leona nodded mysteriously at the sound of Mr. Farga's voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"This is exactly the cage hand for you. If you are able to detect threats with your excellent kinetic vision and reflexes, and can repel powerful forces with your physical strength, you will be able to handle it more than adequately.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　......I think I'm finally starting to understand my fighting style.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This cage is not an offensive weapon, but a shield that repels the attack of the opponent.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Being impervious to everything, it can grab even the blade of Mr. Karon's cold-air-clad axe.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Best of all, it can be integrated into these few days of training without a problem.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"So, you mean to say that this is an invincible handbag that is impervious to everything?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Of course not only that. You can try to put some magic power into the hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"?　Yes. ......!?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I put the healing magic into the cage hand as Farga-sama told me, and immediately understood the difference.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The magic is more smoothly manipulated than before!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can make a healing magic bullet in less than a second, and I can put a considerable amount of healing magic in my palm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What's that?　Isn't this something that can be done in various ways if we can devise some ways to manipulate the magic power?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A bursting palm of healing magic for emergency evasion, or a random bullet of healing magic for group battles.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I told you.　A basket hand for you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"But isn't this ...... plain?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm not complaining, am I?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, but...

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's just a hard basket hand that assists in the manipulation of magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's just like me... I can only use healing magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Up until now, everyone to whom I have given a piece of my body has created powerful weapons. The young one is a pair of swords that contain and release all things. The runaway Kalon took hold of them and transformed them into an axe that freezes all things. And yet you have created a cage that is merely hard, with no offensive power at all. You can't help but laugh at this."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Uh, uh, ......."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'm not trying to put you down. In fact, I even admire you for the way you are. You have created a weapon to protect, not to harm, Kalon the dragon, and you are certainly qualified to possess my weapon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't have that big of an idea to praise you for. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's just that I didn't have an image of myself as a strong force. .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, even if I had a big weapon, it would be a waste of treasure, and I would probably hesitate to ...... use it. If that's the case, I think it's much better to hit like me. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. Yes, that's more like Usato."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh, no, I dug my own grave.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I tried to insist that I had not done anything that would be praiseworthy, Amako caught me off guard.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Moreover, she is standing by my side, tilting her head curiously at me as I falter in my statement.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I entrust you with a piece of me. It was originally the gift of a brave man, but now it belongs to you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Take my piece with you on your journey ahead. It will be a pleasure to see what happens to someone I recognize."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Once I saw my own basket hand, I nodded clearly to Mr. Farga.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Master Farga meditates with a satisfied look in his eyes and opens his mouth to us in a quiet voice.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then we are done talking. You can take the rest of the day off now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　With these words, Mr. Farga ended the conversation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We followed his words and moved from the basement back to the surface ......, but I froze for a moment when I saw the basket hand on his right arm.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Amako tilted her head at me after I had been silent for a few seconds looking at the hand.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Usato, what's wrong?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Sorry, I'll be back in a minute."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I run back to Mr. Farga, who is about to return to the fountain.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Amako and the others, worried about my condition, chase after me from behind, but I show Farga the basket hand on my right arm as he turns to look at me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Um, ...... excuse me. How do you remove this?　I don't think it comes off normally. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I must say, you're not tight, are you? ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Usato, that's not going to happen. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was worried about the basket hand that was almost one piece with the arm and what if it remained like this forever, but Mr. Farga and Amako behind me looked at me with dismay.
