- Meteor Shield
- Naofumi:"Yo. Old man, Long time to no see."
- Our carriage was stopped behind the weapon shop, and we entered.
- Old Man:"Oh. If it isn't the lad. I was surprised that you got a bounty a few days after departing."
- Naofumi:"Guess so, I was in a serious trouble back then."
- Old Man:"Apparently it looks like you were able to prove your innocence."
- Naofumi:"Yeah, thanks to your help."Read more...
- I felt glad finding out that the old man tried to prove my innocence to the false charges today.
- It's not just that, he helped me out in various other ways as well.
- Naofumi:"Thank you."
- Old Man:"Stop it, it's making me itchy."
- The old man scratches his head in embarrassment.
- Old Man:"Though......I don't think today's parade was a good idea."
- Naofumi:"Well he's probably like that normally."
- Old Man:"Back in day he was excellent though."
- Naofumi:"Do you know about it, old man?"
- Old Man:"Hero of the Cane? Was it back when I was ten that the king was still active? I was in another country."
- Naofumi:"I see......"
- Leaving aside Trash's story, I want to move on to the main topic.
- Since it's the old man, I should be able to get favorable conditions for weapons without a problem.
- Naofumi:"Since I obtained the queen's support, I want to ask you to make weapons and armour for me."
- Old Man:"Oh? A special order? Aren't there other master blacksmiths within the country you can employ?"
- Naofumi:"I came here with expectations of your weapons."
- Old Man:"Lad......"
- The old man seems to be deeply moved, and is holding his feelings back.
- Since I bought most of my equipment till now from his the old man. There is also a sense of security too.
- Old Man:"Then I'll work hard to answer the lad's expectations. What do you want made?"
- Naofumi:"Here is the material list."
- I show the old man the material list I got from the queen.
- I don't know whether or not this amount of materials is too much or too little.
- Naofumi:"Old man, I want you to make weapons and armour that you think are suitable for us from these materials."
- Old Man:"Understood. However, there seems to be some fairly rare materials here. I'm itching to test out my skills. What about the money?"
- Naofumi:"The country can foot the bill."
- Old Man:"The lad has gotten a fairly good position."
- Well it is certainly comfortable.
- There are materials, tutors, social positions, and money for equipment.
- If it's like this, there is no reason to not stay here.
- I will fight against the wave after all. If there is an advantageous environment, I don't want to waste time.
- ......I'm a little anxious about it, so I should take some precautions.
- Naofumi:"Then......"
- I glance at Raphtalia and Firo.
- Both of them put their equipment, the Karma Dog Claw, and Karma Rabbit Sword on the counter.
- I also point at the penguin suit, and put the ores obtained from Cal Mira Island on the counter.
- Old Man:"You brought a lot lad. Is the missy wearing these like pajamas a companion?"
- Rishia:"Fue?"
- Naofumi:"Yeah, that's Rishia. Though she has that appearance, the contents are human."
- Rishia:"Naofumi-sama, that explanation is indeed a little......"
- Naofumi:"Can't be helped. You don't want to take off that costume."
- Does Rishia like it very much? She seems to be wearing it all the time.
- Her face is always hidden, could it be possible a new fetish came out?
- Old Man:"L-Let's leave it at that. You brought a strange weapon......This is certainly the perfect weapon for the missy."
- The old man answers while appraising the Karma Rabbit Sword.
- It is difficult to use in various ways, but the offensive power is very high.
- I want to ask the old man's opinion before we customize or replace it.
- There is also the option of melting and reforging too.
- Naofumi:"The problem is that this thing doesn't have the Blood Clean Coating. Can you do something about it?"
- Old Man:"To process it at this stage...... It's accuracy would decline. Is that fine?"
- Naofumi:"I'll be relying on you."
- Old Man:"Fumu.....That's fine, but it might be interesting to try some improvements."
- Are you going to add some parts like the barbarian's armour?
- It might be good to ask about it.
- Old man:"You keep brining me interesting requests lad."
- Naofumi:"I guess. Oh right, old man. Can this child Rishia choose a weapon?"
- Old Man:"Hm? Go ahead.....Take off the suit and show your hand."
- Naofumi:"Rishia."
- Rishia:"I-I like swords."
- Naofumi:"I want to leave the rearguard to you though......"
- After looking at her status I don't really want her to take the front.
- If she suffers even a scratch, she may just die.
- Both her defence and agility are low. Worst case scenario, she gets caught up in Firo's kick and dies.
- If it's the power of magical attacks, even Rishia may be able to manage to some extent in the rear guard while I protect her.
- I'll ask whether or not she can use ranged magic later, if she can use it, then she can support Raphtalia and Firo from the back with magic.
- Rishia:"I can do either!"
- Old Man:"I appreciate the enthusiasm, but for the time being let me take a look."
- Rishia:"Okay......"
- Rishia timidly takes off the suit and extends her hand to the old man.
- Old Man:"Another beautiful woman. The lad must be happy."
- Naofumi:"Happy? You think that I'm anything like Motoyasu?
- Old Man:"A blockhead as usual huh, the young lady's troubles increased again."
- Raphtalia:"Yes.....Seriously."
- The old man says that and Raphtalia nods in understanding.
- Old Man:"Fumu.....It looks like you have good compatibility with a rapier. If you want to become a rearguard, then one with a defensive blessing will be good."
- Rishia:"I see, can you choose one for me?"
- Naofumi:"Wait, is there a bow or a spear she can use as well? She doesn't have any power so I can't really recommend it."
- Rishia:"Fue......A bow is no good!"
- Naofumi:"Is it unpleasant due to Itsuki?"
- Rishia:"That's not it, I'm just scared that I will hit somebody."
- Naofumi:"Ah, so that's it."
- Do I have to worry about friendly fire by accident now?
- It seems her respect for Itsuki is still there......Is he still a hero to her?
- Naofumi:"Anyway, how long would it be?"
- Old Man:"The wave is soon, so a little over a week. I'll do the best that I can within that timeframe."
- Naofumi:"Understood. And......"
- The Old man asks about the penguin suit.
- Old Man:"How is this done? Can it be disassembled? I mean......Who was it that made this."
- Naofumi:"Ah, that. It's performance is excellent, but the appearance is bad. A demon dropped it......it's bad, to put it simply the legendary weapon produced it from the demon's materials."
- That's about it. These kinds of things are dropped by demons.
- It makes me realize again that this is a different world. I didn't realise .
- It's not funny that I didn't realise before. Those guys that knew before are strange.
- In the first place, how does a porcupine like animal drop a weapon that has nothing to do with its physique.
- Old Man:"Don't make such unusual things......Though it's clear that its effects are excellent......"
- Naofumi:"Can you transfer the effect on to something else?"
- Old Man:"It would be difficult. I'll give it a try from various angles, but don't expect too much. At that time, I'll ask you again since some fine tuning would be needed."
- Naofumi:"I'll be relying on you. Should I leave the barbarian's armour here?"
- Old Man:"That's fine......Just, I'll be using it as an experimental basis for the missy's armour."
- For Raphtalia huh. I hope it goes well.
- Raphtalia:"Wh-What is it?"
- Naofumi:"Don't worry about it."
- A rather unpleasant feeling aches, I don't know if it's a bad premonition.
- This feels like a reconstruction that will go bad.
- Rishia:"For some reason it feels exciting."
- ......The expectations of a fan of stuffed animals.
- It seems like this will go down a bad direction.
- For someone like Rishia to excitedly anticipate something, it's quite a flag.
- At worst, would I have Rishia wear it?
- Firo:"Master~ can we go yet?"
- Naofumi:"Yeah, ten more minutes.'
- Throughout the whole thing, Firo has been quietly carrying the materials.
- That reminds me......There are some other materials that I unexpectedly got on the island.
- Materials not available when I give priority to drops.
- Drops not obtained when I give priority to materials.
- It was difficult.
- Naofumi:"Oh right, I completely forgot about it. Hey old man, can you show me your shields?"
- Old Man:"I don't really think you need a shield right......? Ah, is it for the young ladies?"
- Naofumi:"It's something else. It's fine to tell you about it."
- I tell the old man about weapon copy.
- As expected, he is frowning.
- Old Man:"To blatantly say towards me the shopkeeper, that you are performing a theft."
- Naofumi:"Should I do it silently instead? I think it should be a service provided by the country."
- Old Man:"Well......The other heroes are doing it silently....... Can't be helped. It doesn't matter is its the lad's request. I'll show you my favorite."
- With that, I copied every shield that the old man had in his shop.
- I copied various shields, such as the Magic Silver Shield, Heavy Shield, Iron Shell Shield, Magic Shield, and so on.......
- Is the Iron Shield and Iron Shell Shield different?...... Magic Shield seems to be a shield that can convert magical power in to a shield.
- I mean, I have heard it before, but is the shield an item that is considered a weapon after all?
- It's naturally being sold at a weapon store.
- I'm not complaining since I am copying the shields one by one.
- Well I have consent from the owner.
- Old Man:"That should be it, ah wait a moment lad."
- After saying so the old man goes to the back of the store.
- I heard the sound of him going upstairs, and there is a lot of clanking going on.
- The old man returned after a while.
- Old Man:"Thanks for waiting. This is a shield that is rare in this country."
- It's quite boorish...... However the shield that the old man brought also has a strange luster to it.
- Is the metal used iron? However, there is a strange atmosphere.
- I appraise and judge it.
- Iron Meteorite Shield Quality: Normal
- Naofumi:"Iron meteorite?"
- Old Man:"Yeah, this shield is made of an unusual ore that fell from the sky. It's a display product of Zeltbull. A prototype of the iron meteorite series."
- Naofumi:"I see......Hm? Display product? Why do you have it?"
- Old Man:"It's from back in the day."
- Naofumi:"Uh huh."
- I wonder why this article is not for sale.
- Ah, Motoyasu was saying that Zeltbull had a good assortment of weapons.
- Did he touch and copy one?
- Old Man:"Here, try it."
- Naofumi:"Ah, Right."
- I take the iron meteorite shield handed to me by the old man.
- And I activate Weapon Copy!
- Iron Meteorite Shield 0/20 C
- Ability Unsealed......Equipment Bonus: Skill [Meteor Shield]
- Proficiency 0
- It finally appeared!
- The shield version of the meteor series those other heroes used!
- By the way, there are various colours, but that's normal in the status system.
- Am I now part of the foolish four?
- Well, that depends on its efficiency.
- I change my shield to the Iron Meteorite Shield.
- Old Man:"Ooh"
- The old man speaks in surprise.
- Naofumi:"A strange skill appeared, let me try it out."
- Old Man:"Wha----Hey!"
- Naofumi:"Meteor Shield!"
- And, I shout. A thin wall of light appears around me. it's effect is 2 meters centering around me.
- Sp consumption is......Around 5% of it all. The cool down time is short, 15 seconds huh.
- Based on what I saw, I have a feeling that this is a skill that creates a defense wall.
- Raphtalia:"What kind of skill is it?"
- Naofumi:"I think it's a skill that will create a defensive wall......"
- Raphtalia:"Hah."
- Raphtalia touches the wall surrounding me......for some reason she slipped right through.
- Raphtalia:"Is it something different?"
- Firo:"Hmm~......"
- Raphtalia and Firo slip through the same way.
- Since the Meteor skills of those other guys had such high-efficiency, I didn't think it would be a garbage skill.
- Old Man:"Seriously, don't do something strange within the shop---Fube"
- The old man tries to pass through the wall but gets knocked back.
- Naofumi:"Ah, can only party members pass through?"
- Depending on its durability, it is a skill that can work as ranged protection.
- If I think of its uses, it's quite excellent.
- And......The effective time is about 5 minutes. While factoring in the cool down time, this is quite an excellent skill.
- Old Man:"Good grief, think about it for a little before you do anything lad."
- Naofumi:"Sorry, I wanted you to see it since it is your best."
- Old Man:"If you say any more, it will become a complaint."
- Naofumi:"I'll leave it at that for now."
- Afterwards, I told him about Motoyasu's tempering technique with ore.
- There is some in the material list, there is a delicate line to align until it's satisfactory
- There is fewer compared to other ores.
- It's possible that Trash wanted to gather it for Motoyasu, but the queen was a step ahead.
- Since a lot of it is necessary, I need to think of a different way to obtain it.
- Naofumi:"See you later old man. If you need anything for the weapon shop, just ask the castle with these documents."
- Old Man:"I understand lad. Please wait expectantly."
- Naofumi:"Yeah, I'll be relying on you."
- Thus we left the weapon shop.
