Of the 150-man squad, 50 of them had returned first to create the waterway.

　On the other hand, the 100 remaining in the Kelmut culture area continued to fight in the quest area, but 50 of them came back to the territory.

　It was the second ship.

　Just as I had ordered Itachi Gitaro to do, they loaded the steel-related items they had acquired in the subsequent battles onto the ship and brought them back to me.



　Kacha, Kacha Kacha: ......

　The shiny steel sword, shield, armor and spear.

　I put all of these things in a mess at the mansion because I didn't have anywhere else to put them, but

Excuse me, sir.

　Garcia says with a furrowed brow.

'This pile of weapons, can't you do something about it?

What did you say?

Nowadays, all kinds of people come to this kettle for interviews, and some of the most influential people in the village come to visit. And when they do, what do you think they will think if they find such a raggedy weapon lying around?

'What? You think it's 'cool', don't you?

You scare me. Yesterday, when the girls came for a maid's interview, they were scared to go home.

Seriously?

...... The decorations don't look uniform, they just look cluttered.

　And even Igarashi-san says.

　Hmm.

　Lately, I've been leaving the mansion's affairs to Garcia and Igarashi-san.

　They've started running the internal affairs of the mansion, such as personnel, public relations, finances, and industrial policy ......, which I haven't been able to get around to doing in earnest.

　There are certainly a lot of interviews and customers.

　When I was told that it would interfere with that, I couldn't just dismiss the appeal.



"So, you mind if we bring it in here now?

　So, I went to the [Blacksmithing Studio] under construction and asked the carpenter's master carpenter, Touryo, about it.

''Oh my lord. Let's see ...... if you have any luggage, go ahead and do it over to the one that's already finished over there. But the kiln over here is still under construction.

　The building itself was already completed for the blacksmithing workshop. The structure was imitated from Lantis' blacksmith shop and was made to look like a warehouse.

　The rest of the facilities are in the process of being prepared while consulting with Liv.


Phew. ....... Good grief. Hmm?

　When I finished carrying the items, I saw Liv holding a cigarette next to the kiln's creation.

　I tapped her on the shoulder with a pop.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one. I'm not sure if this is the right equipment for you to make a weapon?

'Aiga. Hmmm, you can do it, but you can do it ....... It's not going to be enough to do much of anything. It's just the normal weapons you can find on the street.

　Then he ruffled his hair with a slightly delinquent gesture before continuing.

'I mean, you can't do a special job without good material.

　That's true, of course.

　Iron is just a base material.

　But the materials you need, I'll go on an adventure and gather them from all over the world.

What materials do you need, exactly?

Well, that depends on what kind of weapon you need right now.


　...... what kind of weapon you need, or.

　This has already been decided.

　It's a weapon that enables the lords to gather the power of the lords and sublimate it into the offensive power of a single strike [magic fusion].


　Until now, the smallness of each person's attack power and magic power has been covered by 'numbers' through concentrated attacks.

　The beginner to intermediate level attack magic was put into the 【Arrowhead】 to extend its range, and the vanguard drove the enemy into a corner and attacked them in large numbers...... With this, in the previous expedition, we were able to defeat even the boss of the B-class quest area.


　It's a good idea to be able to have a good idea of what you're looking for in a new product.

　For example, compared to a level 3 magic, a level 4 magic is about 100 times more powerful, and the highest level 5 magic is said to be 1000 times more powerful.

　And as far as the [Goddess's Eye] was concerned, the magic the lords could learn was limited to level 3.


　But in order to complete the Demon King level quests, you need a 'firepower' with super power to rival the magic of the advanced level 4 and 5.

　That's why I'm thinking of strategically incorporating a 'magic fusion' of multiple spells to create a 'single shot' rather than an attack 'number'.


''Hmm. Weapons that activate magic fusion will need various materials.

Is that so?

Yeah. But the most important thing is [fusion stone]. We can't talk without it.

Where can I get that fusion stone?

You know. I don't even know what that is.

Well: ......

　After that, after talking with Liv a bit more about other weapons, materials, and equipment, I left the blacksmithing workshop.



　◇



　Where can I get a fusion stone?

　Hearing that, I headed to the 'Adventurer's Guild Destination Agency' in this far eastern port city [Skahama] to choose the next battle.

　Skahama would take about three days to get there by roundabout ship, but since I was traveling alone, there was no need for that.

　If you fly by air in the Black King Maru, you can arrive there in 4 or 5 hours.


　Heeheen!

　Keeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! ............


　It's kind of like Glico.

　I thought to myself, "Well, that world's number one magician must be a lot faster than that, even moving around.

　It would be really nice if he could further develop his flying magic and fly around the world like that.

　I'm sure that she would be able to visit her faraway friends anytime .......



　Now, I arrived at the adventurer's guild and waited my turn for the receptionist on the sofa.

　Gasp, gasp, gasp ......

Hmm?

　While I was flipping through the newspapers, I saw a "headline".


≪''Brave Party vs. The Sixth Demon King, the battle has finally begun! ≫(a)


......

　For a moment. As expected, I felt a bit worried, but I quickly reconsidered.

　Those guys were already capable of defeating the Demon King class.

　They are now a group of five geniuses who are known as the 'Miracle'.

　I've been dismissed, there's no need for me to worry about Ersaw. ......


''Eh, 'Aiga's Domain,''

　As I'm thinking about this, the receptionist calls me in and I huff and puff.

　Yeah. I have to take care of myself.

　Cross and his friends are going to destroy the Witch King.

　But I'm going to defeat the Demon King.

　I'm sure that if you use fusion magic well, even me and my fellow countrymen should be able to defeat the Demon King.



　And then Cross and the blasphemers will be on equal footing again ......

　I stepped on it and I stood up from the couch.
