131-Episode 5: Assassins Make Rings




 The morning of the third day, counting from that day when I was ravaged, has come.
 I felt lighter, the pain was gone.

I'm finally feeling better.

The wounds he sustained during the analysis of the [Fruit of Life] have healed.
 There are no burns or scars left.
 It was thanks to my dad's proper treatment. If you leave it up to [Super Recovery] to forcefully strengthen your self-healing power, you'll be left with a scar.
 Appearance is an important factor for an assassin.
 To get into the bosom of a target, first impressions are important, and sadly, appearance is the key to success. Ugly scars and burns would be a major disadvantage.

'If it wasn't for [super recovery], I'd be in bed for years.

A serious injury that takes three days to recover with my body. 【Super Recovery】 originally increased my healing power a hundred times. And even though my skill level has increased and my recovery power has been increased by more than a hundred times, to be unable to move for three days is quite something.

''I've become strangely accustomed to that power as well.

The power of the [Fruit of Life] that slightly entered my body, it has completely become a part of my flesh and blood. Even though the lid is now on, I can still feel the connection firmly.
 In the current situation, there are only advantages.
 However, I can't let my guard down. It's like we've got a bomb on our hands.
 That's why we have to think about how to deal with this.



Using the recording function on the communicator, we will check to see if there has been any important communication during the three days.
 There was only one call, from Maha.
 The tart has informed me of my condition and asked me to call him when I wake up.
 I'll be using my comm right away.
 The other side is busy, so it will be difficult for me to answer, but I can record a time when I can make a call.
 However, that expectation was confirmed.
 It was only a second after the connection was made that Maha took it.
 She must have been biting down on the transmitter.

'Are you feeling better!
Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just stronger than before.
'Yes, I was really worried. 'Yes, I was so worried, many times I thought about throwing all my work away and running to you.'
Why didn't you do it?
"This is my battlefield, entrusted to Brother Lugue.
Good girl.

They do what they need to do. It's easy to put into words, but few can do it.

And it's very nice to have a subordinate who will always do the right thing at all times. I can trust them and let them do what they do.

You know I don't like being treated like a child.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I just got out of the habit. So that's it.
'No, I've arranged for what Brother Roughr asked for. 'The gems for the necklace. And the gems for the rings, three different kinds of gems, specifying the stones. A diamond, an emerald, and a sapphire. And mithril.
Thank God.
''I'm sorry, I wanted to have them all special, but I could only get the emeralds and sapphires that were first class.''
No, I'd rather have emeralds and sapphires that are first class.

The emeralds and sapphires are less than 5% of the total amount of emeralds and sapphires mined.
 I asked you to prepare them in a hurry, it's no wonder you can't get them.
 Besides, as a matter of fact, the difference between the special grade and the first grade can be covered by technology.

''Hey, can I ask you a question?''
I don't mind.
'The necklace is a gift for Miss Esri. I've heard that the ring is an engagement ring but why do we need three different types of ring jewelry? 'You're designing one ring with two gems?'

There is a mixture of anxiety and anticipation in his voice.
 Maha has the answer in her heart that she wants it to be so.

'No, I simply make three things. The first is a diamond, a sparkle that is both overwhelming and elegant, a charm that can change its appearance in any number of ways depending on how it is cut, and a willpower that is associated with the property of being the hardest. It was a perfect match for Dear's image. Deere's engagement ring is a diamond.
It's not my idea of a diamond. It's true that the diamond has a unique shine, but I have the image that it's used in industry for its hardness. I was very surprised to hear that he had a lot of questions for me.
I told you, you can change your image with a cut.

We don't have the technology to polish diamonds. Diamonds are extremely hard and difficult to process.
 And an unprocessed diamond is not a very beautiful thing.
 In fact, even in the pre-reincarnation world, until the technique of cutting diamonds was established, they were not valued as jewelry.
 But I can cut a diamond beautifully.
 I will make it more beautiful than any other jewel and worthy of Dia.

'I'd like to see the finished product. So, what about everything but that diamond?
'Emerald is the image of a tart. It's jade-colored, with a warm glow, and it's comforting to have it by your side. That's what a tart is to me, and that's why I chose emeralds.

Emeralds aren't just a beautiful gemstone. It's a soothing influence.

"Yes, a tart is a good choice. 'Yes, the tart is a comforting presence but what about the sapphire?

Maha's voice is trembling. She seems quite nervous.
 It's time to stop being so mean.

Sapphire is a beautiful blue gemstone that is quiet and clever. Its blue brilliance shimmers and creates a fascinating atmosphere. I thought the sapphire was perfect for Maha, who is always calm, smart and beautiful than anyone else. I had to say it when you asked me this way.

I hear an inaudible voice from the other end of the terminal.
 For a while, there is no reply.
 She seems to be desperately hiding her overflowing emotions.

"...well, thank you. I'm looking forward to the completion of your ring.
I'll make the best of it. Also, can you come over to my house sometime next week or the week after? It's time to introduce them to my parents. We're going to get engaged, so that's what we need to do. I'll give you the ring then.
'I'll find a way. How many days does it take to get there and back in the wagon? 'It's going to be hard to coordinate your schedule,'
'I'll take a plane to pick you up. I can get there and back in one day, so as long as I can free up a whole day of my schedule, I'm good to go.
Okay, I'll figure it out. I'll be there.
I'll look forward to it. We'll adjust the date next time.

End of communication.
 Well, you've got all the gems.

Let's finish the design while we're at it.

I go to my desk.
 I often use the faces of art dealers and designers to take in the faces of art dealers and designers when performing assassinations, and I have plenty of knowledge and skills in this kind of design.
 I'll show you a design that will bring out the charm of these women sufficiently.



A week later, the jewels and mithril I had asked for mixed in with Orna's regular mail that my mother had contracted with arrived.
 I took them and moved to the workshop I had built for the work.

'I don't think either of you would find making ornaments interesting to watch,'
I care about you so much!
Yes, I'm excited.

Tart and Dia wanted to visit, so I let them do what they wanted.
 The first step is to process the gems themselves.
 Some gems are beautiful as they are, but diamonds, for example, only shine when processed.
 In fact, in the world before the reincarnation, the four major gems were called diamonds, rubies, sapphires and emeralds. However, in this world, the value of diamonds is very low.
 The value of rubies, sapphires and emeralds is less than 5% of the total amount of rubies, sapphires and emeralds, and the remaining 95% of the rubies and emeralds are not valued very highly.

Let's start with the sapphires.
'This isn't a special edition, is it? Are you sure this is the right stone?

That's what I'm talking about, Dia.

In one shot, he saw that it wasn't a speciality, only a first-class product.

''Oh, fine. I'll be a first-class product in no time.''

The difference between special grade and first grade sapphires is the intensity of the blue color and whether or not there are any stains on the inside.
 In unprocessed sapphires, the blue is almost always too pale, and there are often stains on the inside. However, only 5% of all sapphires are mined that are sufficiently dark blue and free of impurities.

Therefore, only 5% of the stones are real sapphires, and the rest are seen as less valuable.
 And the stone we were able to prepare this time was pale in color and lacking in elegance. And there were a few impurities mixed in.
 If you wear it as it is, you will be ridiculed as a weak aristocrat who cannot buy the real thing in an aristocratic society wearing a fake for the sake of appearances.
 However, even a first-class item can be transformed into a first-class item by processing.

''Precision Flame.''

It's an improved flame spell that allows you to pinpoint the target.
 The heating process is carried out with that flame.
 When sapphires are heated to an extremely high temperature of 1600 degrees, they are capable of causing a chemical reaction.

The chemical reaction causes the light color of the sapphire to darken and removes dirt from the inside.
 Of course, it is not enough to just darken the color.
 The goal is to make the sapphire's sublime blue color more appealing.
 Finish by cheating with earth magic.

What do you think, dear? What do you think, dear, is that it's a first-class product?
Yeah, this graceful blue is a classic. It's amazing and magical.
We use magic. Well, you can do it without magic.
And it's the finest shimmering blue I've ever seen. It's the clearest shimmering blue I've ever seen.
You know it well. Yes, the shimmering blue.

And there was one more thing I was obsessed with.
 The beauty of the sapphire is not just the blue glow.
 Silk inclusions, which look like silken threads behind the sapphire, make the blue shine shimmer.

Special-grade sapphires must have not only a deep blue, but also a shimmering blue brilliance.
 Normally, silk inclusions disappear after heat treatment. This is because the silk inclusion is really just a thin needle-like rutile, which melts with high heat.

Hence, even in the preincarnation world, those that did not require heat treatment, and were dark blue and untainted in their natural state, were called true sapphires, which were several times more valuable.
 Even with science and technology, only shimmering blue could be created. It's a very rare item and rarely appears on the market.
 But I can use a cheat called magic. It's just a matter of magically inserting the rutile after the heat treatment.
 To add it later, I can calculate and create the best shimmering blue.

'It's a very nice blue gemstone. It's called a sapphire.
'Yes, it is. But it's not just any sapphire. It's not just a sapphire, because even I've never seen a sapphire this good. It's a national treasure.
Unlike the natural ones, I've processed them to perfection, which makes them the best.

The difference between natural and processed products is the ability to create the ideal shape.
 We were able to create an ideal blue color by making it darker because it was a pale blue color, and we were able to create a shimmering blue color by calculation.
 If you have the technology, processed products can outperform natural products. There is no doubt that this sapphire is the most beautiful sapphire in the world.

This is the end of sapphires. Now we'll move on to diamonds. Stay away from it.

A new magic is chanted.
 Water spurts out of his fingertips about ten centimeters and it is fixed. The water is circulating super fast, carrying the powder around.

''Can you tell me about that magic?''
The name is 【Water Blade】. Diamond powder is mixed with the ultra-high pressure water flow and circulated. The water pressure and the hardness of the diamond will easily cut through any famous sword. Well........Throw the failed gun at the end of the workshop towards me.
Um, yes.

Dear throws a gun at me.
 Its material is an alloy made mainly of iron. He slashed it in the air and showed it to me.
 It's a surreal sight to see how iron can cut like butter without showing any resistance.

''Isn't it a tremendous cut?''
That's f*cked up. It.
'You can't work a diamond without this stuff. As long as you can't get a harder metal than a diamond, you can't work a diamond with it.

A very reasonable decision.
 I started working immediately.
 There was an extraordinary diamond in front of me.
 It is considered a second-rate jewel in this world, and I slashed at it repeatedly with the 【Water Blade】.
 This 【Water Blade】 can cut through even the hardest diamond.

''Rougu-sama, it's an amazing feat.''
I can't see my hand anymore. I wonder how many times I'll have to slash it.

In a state of extreme concentration, he ran the blade a few dozen times.
 Finally, it was finished.
 A diamond cut - the most famous and royal round brilliant cut of all.
 When one thinks of a diamond, the first thing that comes to mind is the shape that everyone thinks of.
 It is the culmination of hundreds of years of effort to make the diamond look the most beautiful. I believe that this is the completion and end point of the process. In fact, a more beautiful cut has not been created for hundreds of years.
 It would be foul to bring such a thing out into this world, but I will also foul it for Dia's sake.

It's done.
'Shit, that's a diamond. I can't believe it.
It's beautiful, it's stunning.

The two girls are fascinated by the beauty of diamonds.

This is the charm of a real diamond. "This is the charm of a real diamond. But it only needs to be cut to shine.

Since the birth of the diamond cut, the beauty of the reigning king of gems has been uncharacteristic.

''As expected, I'm tired. The heating of the sapphire and the cutting of the diamond are both very nerve-wracking. I'll wait until we take a break for the emeralds.

Both were extremely challenging tasks.
 The slightest mistake could fatally undermine the charm of the jewelry.

I was wondering if this diamond would fetch a tremendous price if I sold it. It's so beautiful. And yet, because of the low valuation of the diamond in the market, the purchase price is very low, and I think it's very profitable.
Yes, I've never seen such a beautiful jewel. I'm sure the nobility and the rich will want it.

I chuckle.

'I suppose, with diamonds as a commodity, Orna could dominate the jewelry industry.

That's the future I see.
 In fact, in our world, the diamond interests of the jewelers have taken over the industry.
 That's what diamonds are all about.

'The way you put it, it doesn't sound like you're going to do it. You'd fit right in with Orna's clientele.
'You should do it if you only care about the business. But I'd rather the diamonds be worn only by Dear.

Dia will be the only one in the world to wear the shine of a diamond.
 Of course, someday someone will get the skill to cut a diamond, but until then, it will shine for Dia alone.
 I'm not going to be able to get away with it.

...rogues can be very annoying sometimes, can't they?
No?
No, I love it.

Dia hugs me.
 It was worth the effort.
 Now, let's finish the rest of the work. And then we'll finish the best ring we can.

The morning of the third day, counting from that day when I was ravaged, has come.
