I Became the Demon Lord and my Territory is an Uninhabited Island

Episode 114: What I saw with strange eyes from the blacksmiths

The next morning, I changed my clothes and went out, and found that my arms and armor were shining in the morning sun and shining in silver. For now, take a sword, but it's lighter than it looks.

"Well, this is what Kratel said, Mithril or Orichalcum ... Talk to Van."

I decided to put the weapons and armor in front of the entrance into the house for the time being, and go to the house next to the distillation hut with an affordable sword.

I knocked on the door but did not reply, so I think it was rude, but I turned the door knob, but it was not locked, and when I got inside, the bottles and things rolled messy and I was sleeping on the bed brilliantly .

What is a dwarf like this? I thought so, but decided to force it.

"Wake up, Van Sorry, I'm sorry, but I'll talk to you early in the morning."

"Nga!? ... Arm, what is this morning?"

She said that while scratching her head, but I handed the sword in the sheath and let it be pulled out.

"Don't you think it's mythril? Why do you bring this from the morning?"

Good, not Orichalcum.

"I left it in front of my house. I met Kratel at a hot spring last night and tried to give mythril as a drink, but I refused, but it looks like this."

He sighed while saying so and kept Orichalcum down.

"What should I do?"

"I still have it, so let's crush it when you have enough to make it a farming tool. Looking at this sword, you can afford two to three with a machete."

"Are you playing with Mithril farming tools?"

"If it is easier to cultivate and work, I will crush it and make it sore. Can you do the processing at the current facility?"

"If you heat it, you can process it like iron, but it has some habit?"

"That's okay, let's have Van and Pietro struggle and make an ax or a machete."

"What about your machete?"

"It reflects the light I just saw and cuts it with some weight, so I'll think about it after trying it. Until then, the uncles and sailors may have some mithril swords. Maybe it's too long for sailors? Would you like to crush it and remake it into a short sword-length blade? "

"I just use it, it's a waste"

While talking about such a thing, I have you come to my house for the time being and have them check things. By the way, I think the hatchet and the machete are the same, but for some reason in this world the hatchet is square and Japanese like a knives knives, but machete refers to a Western-like thing like a very big knife.

"Hey, why do you have armor?"

"Well? Didn't you take it ?? I don't know ... I think, sailors don't have armor, uncles use mobile armor, and Keith is a bow. It's just a bit of leather armor on your shoulders and chest.

"I don't understand your thoughts."

"It is often said by rotten edges and acquaintances.

"Well, the leader is still you, so I will follow you."

Van looks like he doesn't want to wear Mithril armor.

"Hey, isn't this an armor made by a master craftsman!"

“No, I ’m not sorry.

"It's good! I told you! Don't say I'll crush it later."

With that said, he gathers one piece of armor that has fallen apart and embraces it carefully. Well, if you are a blacksmith or dwarf world, you can't help but make it. Even swords, if you remove the handle, the name may be carved like a Japanese sword.

"Speaking of which, you had a child, do you have to get a little for your child?"

"This is not mine, it is an island thing. It is sake made from the island thing and I got it as a price. So I can not say that. I do not want to do it. You can take it as a used item, but I don't know the market price. Well, I may personally make about 2 tips and 2 knives. And I will buy this shield as used. "

"It's hard"

"Well, it's not cheap when you hear it, because you can't borrow a cup of sake and you can't do it."

"Well."

We talked about that with Van, talked with the islanders at breakfast, handed the sword to those who could, and rebuilt the ex-pirate sailors into single-edged short swords like cutlass, and armor was made by famous craftsmen. It was decided to leave the items for reference and then use farming tools.

Personally, I decided to keep Mithril's shield for Miel.

I'm a stupid parent. Well, it's far from giving. If you rely on things, stretchable things will not grow.

Peter, too, thought he was a quiet craftsman, but when he saw the armor made by a master craftsman, he bite as if he had changed and looked into every corner.

"Well then, is it really good?

"Well, nobody uses armor on this island.

With that said, he shows a sword like a cutlass borrowed from the captain.

"Well, what about Calm's weapon? Is it like a representative of this island? Isn't it okay to have something for dignity?"

"Well, Mr. Van has said the same thing, so please make this crowbar, because it is treated like a one-handed sword to accept weapons for the time being."

"――I would make it if you say that. I can only imagine that Mithril Bar is playful?"

Peter says that, but his preconceptions are not good.

"I won't complain even if there is only one in the world. It would be nice if there was room at the end."

"Yes, then it's a crowbar."

"Can I use a frying pan or a pan?"

"Are you really saying?"

"Oh, don't you feel like it's going to fall cleanly if you pour water on it, even if you accidentally burn it, a non-stick frying pan and a pan?"

"Is it really a joke?"

"If it's not possible for a blacksmith to make mythril a cooking tool, not just a farming tool, I don't mind if I can do it. I just thought it would be interesting."

"... I want to look into your head."

"It's a beautiful rainbow-colored flower field. I'd like a personal request for a spear tip and a knife like this.

With that said, I made a knife of the shape I bought for Lily and Miel from obsidian and showed it roughly.

"It looks really real."

"Well, since this is for private use, I will pay a separate fee, so please do it."

"Oh, I'll start when Van comes. Can I just use the ax and machete as a prototype?"

"Thank you."

In the evening, after finishing the reclamation work and returning home, the door was knocked.

"Pietro"

"I'm open, please."

He came in with an ax and a machete.

"I made it in a hurry, but it looks like this"

Put the farming tools on the table and sit down on the chair. Serve barley tea and get it in the machete.

"I'm a little rude, oh!

Saying that, if you lightly swing down the firewood on the side of Kamado, you will easily bite into the firewood, swing down several times diagonally from the left and right, and beat the firewood more and more.

This time I look with an ax, but both feel about half the weight. This may reduce the load somewhat and increase efficiency.

The ax also swung down, but it digs into the firewood quite deeply, and it turns out that it is sharp without any weight.

It was also found that the two blades were not crushed or chipped, and that Mithril was extremely excellent as a steel material.

"It seems like this is fine, but I will shake it with my might, so please give it a little more thickness."

"Oh, it's a bar, a tip, and two knives."

"It's a frying pan and a pan too."

"... I think about it."

"It's okay if you're ready, you'll crush the worst swords."

"... I just want it."

"It's closer to saying that you are interested. Think of it as curiosity because you have strange thoughts. For example, thin roasted eggs that slide down and simmer evenly."

"... It's already good, first it was farming tools.

With that said, Pietro left.

"It seems there is resistance to using mythril other than weapons and armor."

A few days later, when the numbers had reached a certain level, we decided to give a small amount of mythril farming tools to our prides and try to see if they could be more efficient.

"For the time being, I was asked to make farming tools using special materials, so I think it will be lighter and less burdensome for everyone."

"Oh, really light ..."

"I can swing as much as I want"

"Easy pruning"

I heard such a voice and began to cut down more and more.

"What is this! The blade can be so easily inserted"

"This is it too!"

"I can easily get the branches without any effort"

Islanders who wield Mithril farming tools without knowing.

I want to make this farming tool unsuitable for us demons. Do you cry when the islanders armed with honest mythril attack?

Well, there seems to be information leaking from around Pietro, but when the reclamation is over to a certain extent, collect it and pray that it will not be taken out of the island.

"Oh, lend me a machete."

"Mr. Calm has his own, what happened suddenly?"

"Hmm, I wonder if I'm going to make a new tone, and I'll ask if I can use it before it's good."

"Everybody says it's light and can be cut, so did you want Calm too?"

"Well, we balance the comfort and benefits, and if this is better we flirt."

"I say something interesting, please."

That's why I received Mithril Machete and decided to try something I couldn't do in my house during this time. It's all about standing trees. Then I had trouble getting all the blades buried out.

After that, he throws it at the empty person, then fills half of the blade and looks around with a smile.

"You pierced it wonderfully. How do you pull it out?"

"No, I don't know ..."

"Well, I have to cut it out from above ..."

With that said, I borrowed a machete from another person around me, cut down a slightly thicker tree than I, using only the machete, and saw it strangely from the islanders.

It was wrong to cut it softly, like cutting decayed wood.

Afterwards, rescuing the stabbed machete and looking at the blade, he knew that the bend, chipped, and crushed, and that Mithril was a pretty great metal.

"Nice! It's the best except for the light reflection!"

While saying such a thing, I returned to the islander who had it and cut it off with my own machete, but after all the efficiency fell and I felt that the sharpness was poor.

I should have used it.

And in the evening, I appeared to Pietro-san.

"I'm sorry, add a machete."

In that case, it was a bit annoying that Peter's face looked like "after all", but I decided not to see it for the time being and made a request.

"Isn't it possible to cover this vulgar light with something dusty and hit it with something like iron powder? If you can't, you'll burn fire and make it black with soot."

I want you to use a black powder coating that does not reflect light even in the past. Because it stands out when it shines.

"Let's say that the brightness of Mithril is vulgar, or let's do it for the time being so that we can meet the expectations."

After that, we had a light meeting and discussed the length of the shape. We had a meeting with furniture carpenter Bart for the grip and sheath, and decided on the weight of the grip according to the resulting blade.

Well, let's get on with the passage of time, if I think I'll buy a Mithril machete from the island.
