'Well..... I've got some money and hopefully this will buy me a good sword.

　I muttered to myself as I left the guild.

"Three hundred gold pieces and some....!　Kurt, how rich you are!
'That's not true. I was born and raised in a rural village and I have normal parents.
So why are you so financially numb...

　Paralyzed, right?

　300 gold coins is a lot of money.
　Apparently, something like monetary value hasn't changed that much since my previous life, so I know that much.

　However, when you try to buy a good sword, you can't buy it with 300 gold coins.
　For example, the 'Demon Sword Riadzik' was valued at 5,000 gold coins.
　It is said to destroy the country with a single swing. However, it's limited to places that don't have good wards.

　...Well, I made that magic sword myself.

"Kurt. Don't you think you can make it yourself?

　Marise asks.

'Marise!　There's no way you can make a sword that easy!
That's one thing but I had a feeling Kurt could do something about it.
I can't, I can't!　Because Kurt's a wizard, remember?　You're not a blacksmith, you know--
I can make it.
'What!'

　Lara's eyes get big.
　Every action is so big that I never get tired of seeing it.

'I've been getting swords before, but they didn't feel quite right. So I learned that it's faster to make one myself.
I don't normally think of it as being quicker to cook.
'They say it takes 20 years of rigorous training to become a full-fledged blacksmith.

　Marise replies, crossing her arms.
　'You're ten years too early for you to be in the forge anyway,' he said, 'and you're ten years too early for you to be in the forge!　Until then, it's a chore! Or maybe it's because the stubborn artisans were adopting inefficient training methods, right?

　Even in the previous life, there were people like that.
　Well, after the magical revolution, giving magic to weapons became the norm, so those craftsmen were naturally weeded out....
　This is because they don't try to absorb new things.

It's OK to make this one too. But I don't have enough materials. In order to make a sword that I'm satisfied with, I'll have to dive at least 100 layers of the Treasure Labyrinth.

　However, it's a fairly small-scale labyrinth, so it doesn't look like we'll be able to get to 100 layers.
　Buying the sword this time is a connection to get there.

''As usual, Kurt says the most outrageous things as plainly as ever.
I don't think any amount of Kurt could do a hundred layers, right?

　Lara and Marise were surprised, but if the girls trained their magic well, they too could get to the 100th layer on their own.

　Let's get back to the story.

'So ... do you know if there's a good weapon shop in King's Landing?

　I ask, and Lara and Marise almost simultaneously.

'I know!　The best in King's Landing... or rather, the best armorer in the world!
The weapons store is very famous. Customers from all over the world come to them for their weapons.

　Oh.
　That's very promising.

Let's get going. You two, I need you to show me where we're going.
"Yes!

　The same as in the past.

　We arrived at the weapons store they had mentioned, and I was aghast as we entered the store.

''This is the world's best weapons store...?''

　I went into a couple of other weapons stores before I got here.
　The weapon shop there - or rather, it's a crap shop to me - has a little better stuff than the one there.
　But they were all too low level.

''Hmmm, kid. Are you admiring my weapons?　But I only sell weapons to people I'm comfortable with, don't I?

　A man who looked like a shopkeeper appeared and said to us.

'That's a master craftsman's weapon, Mr Abel.
They're all excellent.

　Lara was holding a sword and Marise was holding a bow and her eyes were shining.

　.........................Neither of those two even granted magic, right?
　I'm using orichalcone, the most common type of brittle metal.
　Do you really believe that?

　If I said something like that, I might offend this shopkeeper, so I kept my mouth shut.

''Do you have any weapons........oh?''

　Still, I didn't give up and was rummaging for a weapon, and I found it in an inconspicuous spot around the corner.

''Well it looks like I can use this one for a bit.

　Grip the sword.
　It can't be helped that orichalcon is used. It seems that in this world, magical metals made by processing magical stones are not common.
　I use analysis magic analysis to look into the details of the sword.

"Well, kid. Do you like that sword?

　Before I knew it, the owner came up to me and asked me that question.

'Yes.'
It's my most prized possession. I purposely kept it out of sight but how do you know that?

　The owner gives me a suspicious look.

'First of all, I like the orichalcone processing of the material. You must have spent a lot of time on it. It's been carefully done, and the purity is still up to 87%. You can clearly see by just looking at it that they paid a lot of attention to every single millimeter.
"Kid, you know what you're talking about. I don't care if it's pure or not, but...

　The proprietor smiled and smiled.

'I love it!　You saw through it all with one glance.　The boy is my prize.　I'll sell you the famous sword Enmapeya!

　You call yourself a great sword........

　If you compare it to the common sense of a thousand years ago, it's not that good of a quality.
　But it's definitely the most decent thing I've ever seen in my life after reincarnation.
　So.

''Yes. Then I will buy this. How much is the price?
'Don't be surprised to hear that it's 100 gold coins!　From now on, I'm going to take my money!
Here's 100 gold coins. Please check.
'Hmmm, a hundred gold coins was too much for a child?　But be diligent about buying this sword!　If you've seen through my famous sword, Enmapeya, you could buy it if you worked as an adventurer for ten years........

　The owner rolled his eyes.

　He's a funny guy.
　I said I'd buy it in a lump sum cash payment.

"He's a nobleman's son........!　Then no wonder. You must have been gifted as a blacksmith.

　The shopkeeper crossed his arms and was trembling lightly.
　He wasn't a nobleman or anything, and he didn't aim to be a blacksmith....

''Then from now on, that sword belongs to the little boy!　You must take care of it.
Thank you.

　I keep my head down.
　I grabbed my sword again and held it up to the light.

'Kurt, you did it!　It looks great on you.
'Yes, cool ... not cool ... Lara!　Weapons don't need to be cool!　It's all about functionality!
Either cool or cute.

　Lara and Marise were making some noise, but my analysis was completely finished.

''Well......... Well then, let's get on with this sword.
Hmm?
I'll let you work on it.

　When I said that, the owner couldn't have been more wide-eyed.
