''So you two have no objection to having [smelting] enhanced?
That's true. But in order to do so, I had to limit the number of random number creations to once a month.
We'll deal with that later.
It's not true!
Oh, I'm thinking.

　After thinking about it, it's more likely to be dismissed.......but that's not the right word to say now.

　I would have liked to arrive at the result that [Renshen] was the correct answer after a more meaningful debate, but.......I can't hope for more.

　The person who will make the final decision is - me.

　I've decided to grow 【Renewal】.

''If I grow [Rensheng], I'll be busy, okay?

　Growing [Refinement] means becoming one step stronger as a Demon King.

''So that means you're going to plant it?

　Kanon asks in a serious tone instead of his usual protracted tone.

　Demon King Kaoru's current level is 17, and this information is transmitted from the humans in Kanazawa City who have reached the farthest reaches of the dominant territory.

　Demon King Kaoru. His race is the Demon King (demon race). Predicted status is 【Physical】C 【Magic Power】B 【Knowledge】?　[Creation] B [Alchemy] B.

　Even if we assume that my body and knowledge are at the initial rank of E.......I have 32 BP.......and if Demon King Kaoru gets a bonus for 'Special Service*' like me and Kanon, it's 42, but I don't know of any other Demon King who has gotten a bonus besides me and Kanon.

　In the worst case scenario, if I level up two more times, Demon King Kaoru will grow to 【Creation】 or 【Refinement】 or 【Magic Power】 A.

　If possible, I'd like to defeat Demon King Kaoru before that.

''That's right. If I'm wrong, Demon King Kaoru will only need to level up two more times for 【Creation】, 【Refinement】 or 【Magic Power】 to grow to an A-rank.
The humans in Kanazawa City before Demon Lord Kaoru... are you going to make a move on them?
I will. I'm going to have to play a few tricks.

　I nodded at Yataro's question.


　◆

　Yataro leaves the room to coordinate his defense. Kanon also left the room to follow him in order to work hard on leveling up. Left alone in my room, I took out my smartphone in order to grow 【Rensei】.

　Hmm......... Don't be nervous.

　Don't worry, my decision is not wrong.

　I tap on the【Renewal】word displayed on my smartphone while feeling strangely nervous. Once I tap it, there's no going back.

　I hit the screen of my smartphone repeatedly. The BP that I had accumulated over the past year was being consumed in the blink of an eye.

　--?

　An unfamiliar special ability had been added.

　''Divine Artifact Refining''........?

　Just by looking at the string of text on the smartphone screen my feelings are aroused.

　It's written as God's vessel--God's vessel!

　This is a new special ability separate from the "Item Renovation". Only those who have reached the rank of "A" are allowed to acquire this special ability!

　I knew I had made the right decision.

　Well, it's time to start the verification process.

　First of all, let's check the new items that can be smelted. After figuring out the CP consumed by the highest-ranked items, I calculated the CP needed to deploy them to the executives. Other than that, we need to check the CP consumed by general-purpose items and calculate how much CP is needed.

　What I'm interested in is the "Divine Weaponry Training", but what I should check first is the "Item Training". If I check the "Sacred Artifacts Training" first, then the new items that can be trained with "Item Training" will not be as good as the original ones.

　I use my smartphone to select the "Item Renovation" item.

　This is a bit harsh.........

　The first thing I checked was the highest-ranked item, among the general-purpose items.

　【Smelting】 The highest ranked general purpose item with a B rank was the 'Mithril Series'.

　The CP required for smelting was a flat 300; depending on the subordinate, a complete set of weapons, shields, helmets, armor, baskets, and footgear was a ridiculous 1800 CP.

　And the highest rank general purpose item of 【Smelting】 A rank is - 'Orihalcon Series'.

　The CP required for smelting was a flat 1,500, which was the same CP as my beloved spear--Geybolg.

　The CP needed to complete a set is 9000...?　Even if you don't deploy the cage hand and foot gear because they are less effective, it's still 6,000. That's too drastic of a consumption to give to a decoy living mail.

　Is the Orihalcon series really worth the CP - is it as good as a unique item?　That requires verification.

　Next, check the unique items.

　The number of unique items that can be smelted at [Smelting] A rank is--81 different types.

　Weapons are 42 types, including swords, two-handed swords, spears, swords, axes, two-handed axes, daggers, whips, blunt weapons, armor, staffs, bows, throws, and a new category - 14 types x 3 with the addition of guns.

　There are 27 types of armor, 9 x 3 of 9 types of shields, armor, light armor, clothing, helmets, hats, basket hands, footgear, and shoes.

　There are 12 kinds of ornaments, including 4 kinds of rings, necklaces, earrings, and bracelets (3 kinds).

　The CP required for smelting was unified at 5000, 7500, and 10,000.

　Just smelting the various unique items of the highest rank alone, the CP required would be 270,000.

　My current maximum CP is 23,500; I recover 2,350 CP per hour; the total amount of CP I can recover per day is 56,400; however, I need about 5,000 per day in running costs for defense and the lives of my subordinates and territories.

　If you take into account some leeway ... the daily CP that can be devoted to smelting is 50,000.

　I want to deploy the highest-ranked items in the cadre, not just weapons, but armor as well.

　I launch the Memo app on my smartphone and list the cadre's names and various equipment.

　The highest-ranked equipment........ If this is the case with the 《 Item Renovation》, is the 《 Divine Weapon Renovation》 going to consume all CP, my specialty?

　That would mean 40 hours of just getting my equipment - spears, clothes, shoes, and ornaments - in place?

　When are we going to complete the deployment to the executives........

　Even with just a light calculation, the buoyant feeling I had just had dissipates.

　For now, let's check the 【Refinement of Divine Weapons】.......

　I operated my smartphone and tapped on the 【Shinjutsu Rensheng】.

''--Heh?''

　I let out a goofy voice when I saw the item on my smartphone screen.
