“Ah!”
“Big bro’s eating!” (kiel)
“No fair, that’s sneaky! I also wanna eat” (kiel)
“You’re only saying that because you see the skewer in my hand” (naofumi)
“Isn’t it okay~” (kiel)
“Kiel-chan, stop speaking so selfishly” (raphtalia)
“Don’t add ‘chan’ to my name!” (kiel)
“Hm? Who’s this kid?” (kiel)
“Eeep…..” (mole slave)
“He’s a new slave” (naofumi)
“I see, Shield-niichan may say scary things but he’s rather indulgent so its alright” (kiel)
“You……” (naofumi)
“What’s your name?” (kiel)
“…..Imia Lucullan Lisella Tereti Quariz” (mole slave -> imia)
“So Imia then. You a boy?” (kiel)
“No….” (imia)
“You can’t get spoilt though. Me and Raphtalia-chan won’t allow it” (kiel)
“O-okay” (imia)
“The place we’ll be going to is somewhere where if you work hard, you’ll be able to see your improvement, but only for the part you worked on, so let’s work hard together” (kiel)
“And so, Niichan. Give me some too” (kiel)
“Nope” (naofumi)
“What happened to the other guys” (naofumi)
“They went shopping with the pocket money Niichan gave them. For souvenirs and stuff” (kiel)
“Well, we’ll be meeting up at the castle town’s gates. Don’t be late whatsoever” (naofumi)
“I already know that” (kiel)
“Oh right, the friend Firo brought along is a bit prideful but she’s interesting!” (kiel)
“For the time being, let’s go to the weapon store after we finish eating” (naofumi)
*munch munch* Imia frantically devoured her Kid’s Lunch.
It seems like she would get along with Firo, with the way she’s eating.
After we finished our meal at the restaurant, we made an appearance at the weapon store.
It’s very hard to say. That I don’t have money so I’ll just be copying.
The old man also seems to have trouble talking. The atmosphere is oppressing.
Hmm….is it the manufacturing part that’s difficult…..?
I haven’t really looked at the other weapon stores so I don’t really understand, but this one seems to have a bit of an appeal to it.
I remember that the spears and swords were quite conspicuous.
There was a blade that looked like turtle shell. So that was shaped by shaving.
“Yes. Anyhow, this material seems to have bad affinity with the Air Wake feature. It has no effect” (oyaji) [T/N: Air Wake was originally translated as Air Walk in the early chapters but the pronunciation is ‘ea’ (air) ‘ueiku’ (wake)]
“And these materials are intrinsically heavy, I can improvise something for a sword or spear if they were only being used as a blade but armour is different” (oyaji)
“There’s the concept of making it thinner but, you know…… the fundamental defensive power would diminish” (oyaji)
“I see” (naofumi)
“I’ve made two prototypes. Have a look” (oyaji)
“Is this it?” (naofumi)
“Yeah” (oyaji)
“Is it alright if I hold it?” (naofumi)
“Go ahead” (oyaji)
And, there was a major flaw.
It didn’t activate Weapon Copy.
In other words, this wasn’t treated as a shield. The criteria was hard to understand but, it may appear as a….wall.
However, there was a tiny reaction so I feel like it’s a delicate line.
And what he gave me was a thin, semi-transparent shield made from the turtle shell. It’s appearance was really beautiful.
I try hold it for the time being. Its weight is not to the extent of being unable to hold it. It seems good to wield.
However…….huh? This one is more shield-like but there’s no reaction.
……Wow. A disposable. Or should I say, this is already…….
…….It’s hard to handle.
Do the ingredients themselves emit gravity.
I explained to the old man regarding the necessary items for strengthening the Spirit Turtle materials. Perhaps there might be something helpful.
And, while saying that, the two of us returned from the interior of the store.
Raphtalia and Imia were waiting near the entrance.
It seems he wasn’t originally born in this country and I don’t want to see the old man discriminating or anything.
Therefore it was a good reply.
The old man took out a sword from underneath the counter.
Compared to Raphtalia’s sword, the bestowed effects are quite low.
Well, it was originally a spear so it seems to have degraded from the manufacturing.
The old man replied in good humour.
He can really make me relieved with his words.
The equipment hanging in the store have been selling out considerably.
It feels as if the production side isn’t fast enough.
That stubborn old guy has been fished out nicely.
With this, the slaves can be taught pharmaceutics.
I wish that the old man would also come to my land.
When I send a look saying that, he bluntly avoids my glance by turning away.
Raphtalia and Imia had heard the chat between the old man and me.
