Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (WN)

- [Chanjmon Cave].

This is a cave not far from [Demon Country/Heros], but people rarely come. The reason for this is that the internal terrain changes each time you enter.

Is it just something like a dungeon of wonders?

Rumor has it that the reason the terrain changes is because of the magic equipment located somewhere in this cave.

People also speculate that changing the terrain is to keep intruders away from that demon.

I was just stepping into that cave where the three of us and one of us are intricately now.

"Absolutely, as depressing as ever. This place is..."

It is Lillin who speaks of dissatisfaction with a small tongue. He walks at a constant speed, shaking his long, saggy red hair regularly.

"Nophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophophopho!

Walking ahead of everyone is Siuba, who is known by everyone as the perverted butler. Next to it is a peachy twin-tail-made shamoe and...... one bird.

"Aren't you tired, Mikazuki?

"Quick!"

Mikazuki was there too. The luggage is bracketed on his back and he is walking in strong footsteps.

"But you were still right to bring the birds! Build up more food!

When Lilyn says so, Mikazuki, who thought he was praised, sounds happy again.

"I was surprised that we humanized it with the help of Master Hiiro, but I never thought I'd be free to change into what a monster looks like either. But, Lord Mikazuki, if you're tired, don't hesitate to tell me."

"Quick!"

As Siuba put it, Mikazuki, who was originally a monster called Ride Peak, gained the ability to anthropomorphize by meeting the sun colour and the Lettering Magic, but at the same time, he had the specification to be able to return to his original appearance.

That's why Lillin and the others take Mikazuki as a luggage carrier when they go somewhere away from the sun.

Mikazuki hasn't complained one bit about the fact that he's with Shamoe either, and on the contrary, he's taking the initiative to see if he's happy that he's helping.

"And every time I come here, I think, can't you handle this incredible structure, Siuba?

"That's right, I'm supposed to find a hidden treasure somewhere in this [Shanjmon Cave] and somehow go back to a normal cave..."

Even this cave is vast. There are several ways of parting underground, like a nest of unevens and ants. Once you get lost, you can't get out of here for the rest of your life.

"Even so, I am the end of the Spirit, so I am not lost in the way, but I cannot see only where the treasure is"

"Well, he really lives in a troublesome place."

"Yes, but we'll be able to get to him soon, ma'am."

When you speak to forgive the Lord in a bad mood, you point to one of the multiple holes.

He said, "Let's go straight over there and let him stay."

"Well, then let's go."

When the three of them and one of them tried to get straight to the hole,

"Kishaaaa!"

Suddenly a creepy squeal comes out of the sky and falls to the ground with a bump.

"Well, a bunch of Red Spiders."

"Hmm, it's common sense that Red Spider, a unique monster, doesn't act in herds. Is this place also distorted by mysterious powers?

"Know what? But it would be a good time. Stay back."

Lillin leaps forward in front of everyone when she says so.

Red Spider is a spider stained bright red as blood by the letter. But its size is greater than that of a human being. A normal person would think of a hand in escape the moment they meet.

But Lillin is happily distorting her mouth.

"Well, let me give you a minute or so."

Suspiciously Lillin's red eyes glow.

On the diagram, it's a ferocious monster surrounding a little girl, but she was obviously showing a bare gesture of starting to lag behind for fear of Lillin's presence.

But one of them lost his fear, or he jumps at Lillin with a tedious scream.

- Bush!

For a moment, a giant golden nail hits the Red Spider's body, skewering it to the ground.

"Gi...... Ga...... ga...... huh!?

Countless nails, still alive but not knowing where they emerged from, pierce the entire body of the Red Spider simultaneously. And it ran out quickly.

Lillin is just sitting there with a cold smile and arms around her.

Did it form a fear, the other Red Spiders began to retreat in unison, but suddenly one is engulfed in a burning flame, and another freezes his whole body in freezing ice. That's how Don and the incredible phenomena happen and the monsters go to despair.

"What, it hasn't been a minute yet?

Pointing your mouth a little short leaks a small sigh - pattin!

It was a sight of misery spreading until earlier, but when I gently rang my fingers, the space broke like glass, and to my surprise a bunch of red spiders lying intact surrounded Lillin.

- Patchy, patchy.

Then I hear someone clapping there. The sound came from the hole I was going to head to earlier.

"That's Red Rose Witch, isn't it? The horrors of Fantasy Dream Magic seem to be alive."

There was a good man with yellow hair smiling.

Feels like I saw you. You don't look strong enough to be alone in such a dangerous place, but your hips were equipped with a knife that seemed splendid. But above all, the most eye-catching would be the beast ears growing on his head.

"Why don't you stop living in such a bad taste place already - - Kuzel?

The man is a weirdo who lives in a strange place like [Shanjmon Cave] when it comes to Kuzel Gio.

He said that he could do whatever he wanted without anyone interrupting him here.

It is blacksmiths that a man named Kuzel makes his living. Few people actually see him, say, but his name and track record are famous across the three worlds.

- "Blacksmith Kuzel".

There will be no one who is working with weapons and does not know this name. His arms are so talented that even leading blacksmiths say he can't reach them.

What he produces is highly regarded and everyone wants it. Especially in times like the present, it is even said that it is the factions that have acquired his power that will gain victory.

So it became a bloodline and the 'human race', the 'beast people' and the 'demons' pursued him.

What an odd figure that the King of the Three Kingdoms followed a single beast man, but given his strength, it was something that everyone was satisfied with.

For example, can you slaughter iron with a sword? The answer is yes or no. A powerful man with quite a wave would be able to slash it depending on his own arm.

What if he's a weak old man? If you were a child? Would you be able to slash with that arm that trembles just holding a sword?

The answer should be extremely difficult. No matter how good you are, you still can't get that effect without some strength.

But there are deviations from what Xel creates.

There is no need for strength there, just to let the sword touch the iron and let itself be at its weight, the iron is slashed and torn apart in the sense that it can be bladed into tofu.

Not only the sharpness, but he has embodied the only uniqueness that no one can do, such as make the blade express alien powers.

Kuzel succeeded in producing one blacksmith losing words after another, such as a sword that produces a storm just once, a whip that can move freely depending on his will, and an axe that produces an explosion just by touching it.

But he saw a tragedy that was due to the weapons he had built, and he tried to stop them.

It's just that the kings who decided it was a loss to the world chased him around and eventually ran away, moving to [Shanjmon Cave], where none of these people would step in.

Now he says he makes knives and other chores to use and goes out and makes a living selling them.

Of course, he said he was going to [Heros] to disguise himself and not find out when he sold it.

"By the way, Kuzel, it's time for me to get back to you in good color."

The Lillins were headed to his residence, where they were poking each other in the face.

Even if it is a residence, it is in a cave, so a single cave is processed to make it easy to live in. Perhaps this is the exclusive patent of someone who specializes in making things.

Mats of tatami-like materials are laid on the floor, even shabu platforms and bookshelves. Lilyn doesn't have a hand in the tea she has prepared, but she sticks to her errands early.

Küzel, who is making a zuzzling noise and leaning toward a hot drink, opens his mouth without breaking his smile when he exhales warmly.

"Mr. Lillin, as I said before, I thought you said no to that story, didn't I?

"Why? It's not a bad story for you!

I lift my eyes slightly and say away, but Kuzel doesn't change his expression,

"You make [a place for all people to enjoy]. I do find it fascinating, but that would be impossible"

"Huh, you wouldn't have to try impossible or anything!

I accidentally slap my desk. Ordinary stuff would crack in and out, but not one scratch. This strength is abominably superior. That's what you mean by Kuzel?

"I'm a little oblivious to the situation, but I still understand that the world is not at peace"

That means you know exactly what you're fighting for.

"The children I have created will also be treated in that battle. In particular, it depends on the user."

He has a shady grin to mock himself.

A child is about the weapons he created.

"I realized I was stupid. Of course I have no regrets about giving birth to the children. But I don't want to see any more children being treated in war."

A remorse similar to grief dwells in the words. I don't regret what I built, but I guess I regret giving that weapon to those who came to buy it.

He was young and he was easily thinking that the weapons he had built would sell them to merchants hoping that they would help someone and that those weapons would easily be the basis for making peace. He said he just thought that his own children wanted to see him in the world.

But the merchant had not found the true value of the weapon, and was packed with gold and easily sold off.

As a result, it stopped in the eyes of the kings and their weapons were used for war.

"It was really stupid. On second thought, you must have figured out that my children would be used in war, etc… but I was chronic and found out that I didn't see anything"

The tragedy that struck him.

It was used by thieves and others in situations where his weapon had become turbulent as well as war, with the result that he would be deprived of his family.

Even though he is not much of a powerful man, if a thief waves a weapon that performs well enough to deviate from the rest as just a weapon, it will easily create a tragedy.

I don't even think that could happen, Kuzel's parents were killed, and his wife was also killed by the murder blade...

All that was left was a young child given between himself and his wife.

I would have despaired. It was a weapon that I created with love that took the lives of my loved ones.

And the country is on the verge of building an even stronger weapon.

As it is, I will be involved not only myself, but even this young child.

I thought so. He decided to leave the child with his wife's sister and break up with her.

At that time, he built a single spear, saying it was meant to protect the child who had grown up.

That's how I went around the world and found my own weapon and recovered it. But it seems that the chaser got tougher and it was this [Shanjmon Cave] that calmed him down on the run.

I've heard this story from him before, so everyone is silent with the sadness he carries.

But in the meantime,

"Lord Kuzel, you've talked about one interesting boy before."

"Huh? Ah... speaking of which, you said something like that, Mr. Siuba."

Siuba spoke with a grin in the dark atmosphere.

"Yes, what a surprise, the lady who stays here is the one you think of."

"Ke, Ke Ke Ke Ke Ke Ke Ke Ke Ke Ke Ke Ke Ke Ke Ke Ke!? What are you talking about?

Unexpectedly stand up and deny it with all your might to the stunning remarks.

"No, you idiot! Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah! Why should the eagle have feelings for such a turbulent tree hyiro!

"Oh? I have never spoken Hiiro-sama's name?

Blood goes up on his head in an instant against him laughing niggardly and humble.

"Yeah! Undo it! Look, Siuba! He's under the authority of a weasel, not more than that. Shit!

grabbing his collar and rocking him grandly with Gragras, but he seemed to enjoy not returning his intentions,

"Nofofofofofofofo! The lady who wants to be honest but can't be honest is exceptional too ~! Nofofofofofofofo!

"Yeah, shut up, you perverted, misguided butler. Wow!

"Nofofofofofofofo!"

Kuzel, who is disturbed by the situation, said, "Heh heh!" and the usual chamois. And I'm not sure. I'm tilting my neck, Mikazuki, who's back in the human shape at some point.

I glance at Siuba, who, no matter how many times I tell him, does not change his attitude, letting him cut his breath, but his expression never breaks.

"You're scared, ma'am."

"Hmm! Once this happens, show your brain a thick illusion..."

"But lady?

"Give it to me..." Hmm?

I got spoken and reacted in the middle of the word.

"What are you talking about?

"Huh? What the hell..."

"What if Master Hiiro were to walk with a woman and that was already amicable?

"Huh, what are you talking about? Is there a woman walking amicably with that hyiro!

Don't strain your chest in such a way that a phonetic sound is drawn behind you.

"No, actually, during this time Master Hiiro seems to enjoy being sandwiched by Lord Yveam and Lord Shublers..."

"What the hell!? What the hell is that? Milk! I still can't resist milk!

I also grab Siuba's collar and shake it,

"Nofofofofofofofo! Well, it's just that there were Lord Akwinas and Lord Marione there too"

…………

The scene and the surrounding silence come......

"Die!

"Bahimo!?

I fed Siuba the upper and blew it up.

"Ha-ha-ha... Damn, what do you want, you idiot! Yeah, die, die!

Footkick Gashigashi and the Deacon who made fun of the Lord. In the meantime, Kuzel says with his eyes open.

"Oh, I'm surprised... Mr. Lillin, you've been..."

"Hmm? What? You want me to step on it, too?

When I peel my eyes off the gillow, I pull my cheeks together and Kuzel waves.

"Yes, no, I won't.... but... you look happy, Mr. Siuba."

"Yes, this pain is my earliest pleasure."

Just as Lillin shrugs and drops her shoulder at him as he says with his eyes sparkling as he bleeds out of his nose.

"Honey, how do you really die? Are you..."

Whatever you do, you'll be back soon. He is exactly like an immortal incarnation.

"Well, it's a gag part now,"

"Gag part? What are you talking about? Finally just head...... no, are you crazy from the beginning"

"Nofofofofofofo! This is tough! We also admire such a spicy lady!"

"Eh, don't come near me! You're disgusting!

Makes Siuba even more of a footkick trying to hug him.

"... hehe, that's Master Siuba"

"Mm-hmm? Did I say something, Shamoe?

"Yes, no! Well, I didn't say anything!

The place, which was dark mood until earlier, is bright and glaring.

I'm still not sure if Ciuba is after it............ but Lillin is also somewhat aware of what he did with intent again. Anyway, we've known each other a long time. Somehow I get it.

After a while of sobering up, we got each other a cup of tea.

"Uh... what were you talking about?

Naturally, Kuzel thinks so. The story went too far out of line.

"Oh hon! Well, I'm talking about a boy named Hiiro."

"Oh, you did"

Nodding as I recall. It was Lillin who thought she was a little cute because each time her beast ears moved pimply.

"The boy named Hiiro, when you were here once before, you spoke only a little bit."

When Lillin and the others came to [Demon Country/Heros], they immediately went to Kuzel.

As a result, I was separated from the sun color for about a week, but he said he didn't want to go because it was troublesome, so I had no choice but to leave him.

"What has happened to the boy?

"Actually, you have it."

"What?

"The way Lord Kuzel made it..."

…………

He turns off his grin in Siuba's words and looks back into Siuba's eyes with a serious look.

"Actually, things have changed a little now, and the first thing you had was definitely the" bayonet/tsulanuki ""

"... is that right? Take that kid..."

Closed his eyes to remember, he immediately opened again and stared at Siuba's face.

"That kid is one of those things I built as a prototype to produce a certain knife. Even when it comes to prototypes, he should be a pretty good kid. What do you mean you had that kid first?

"We have now changed our name to" Absolute Knife/Zangeki "."

"... Huh?

Now he's obviously staring at me like I'm confused.

"Shh, wait a minute! Tulanuki's in Zangeki? Change your name? Impossible," Zangeki "is something that I entrusted to someone who is supposed to exist. What the hell does that mean?

Siuba, after a short while, speaks quietly.

Actually, we've been looking around the demon world for the last six months or so.

"Yeah, yeah, I heard that. I'm honestly surprised that they moved out of that castle..."

"You were. In that case, it was the castle where the young lady and Lord Kuzel first met."

"Well, even then, turn down the eagle solicitation."

When I pointed my mouth in dissatisfaction, I could see a bitter smile from Kuzel. Well, I didn't pursue it any further because it's understandable he's anxious to live there in hiding.

"I'll come back to you. In the course of those six months, we met with a certain man."

"One of you?

"Yes, I'm a blacksmith named Lord Zaph."

"The, it's Zaf... Huh!?

Repeat to confirm Siuba's words, but Siuba stands for affirmation.

"Yes, Lord Kuzel's apprentice, if you ask me."

Kuzel narrows his eyes and leans down on his face.

"Disciple... are you a disciple? No, I did give him a hand job, but only the basics."

This is what happens when you listen to me.

Kuzel went around the world and stepped into this demonic realm. That's where we met a young man named Zaff.

He was also aspiring to be a blacksmith, and some solid masters, but he was discouraged by the fact that he seemed to have made a huge mistake, which was what prompted him to talk.

For Kuzel, who had lost his passion as a blacksmith, his passion was not dazzling, but he taught the fundamentals of blacksmithing in an old age.

It was only about a week, but he swallowed well, and his muscles as a blacksmith seemed picky.

He was called a teacher while he was teaching, but Kuzel says he thinks he can only teach for such a short period of time but can't be called a disciple.

"It was very easy to understand the basics, and he said it was in the shame of Lord Kuzel that I am now."

"............... Really?"

Are you a little embarrassed, the trick of putting polypoly and cheeks on the light was like a child. He didn't officially have a disciple or anything, so I guess he doesn't feel bad about being told that.

"The Lord Zaph had it for you. I need" The Unswept Zangeki. "

"I guess so. Because I gave it to him when we broke up. As a reward for a week's hard work. Because I decided he wouldn't do anything to treat that kid like he didn't go under. But it's true that Zangeki ended his role and was no longer in use."

He was right, Zaph showed me that the "Absolute Knife Zangeki" was broken from the middle of the body and could not be used as an earliest knife.

"When I found that kid, it was already in that state. But I wanted to bury him, and I carried him with me, and Zaph wanted him."

That's why I gave it to you. Because I can't do anything that hurts people.

"Lord Kuzel is right. But Lord Zaph wanted to revive Zangeki."

"Huh?"

"He wants you, the teacher, to catch up and admit, with your own hands, to shine the sword that should have died again"

"... Zaph did that? No, that would be difficult. That kid is the finished prototype I mentioned earlier. No matter how good your arms are, you'll need the right ingredients to revive them again. In a very ordinary sword-making ingredient... Ah"

Kuzel stares at Siuba's face, hacked as he noticed. Siuba nods to answer it again.

"Some of us were Hiiro-sama. And he was in possession of the prototype you produced, Tulanuki."

"............... did you do the synthesis?

I get to the answer and ask questions with a stunned look on my face.

Yes, Zakh, who happened to pass nearby and saw the sun-colored "bayonet/tsulanuki", has begged to make sure he created the "extinct blade/zangeki" with that blade.

But I refused at first because I didn't want to leave the knife with someone I didn't know very well about the sun color. Still, I asked him to come in again and again, and for now, when he showed me his arm, the sun color gave me conditions.

Xaf said when he took the sun color to his workshop, there was a sight to be touched by for the sun color. Various swords existed there.

I've seen a lot of swords. It doesn't matter to Lillin that he hasn't seen much of them, but the sun color seems to be in love with the shape of the knife, and he looked at the decorated knife and nodded contentedly.

Besides, surely every knife was well made. Still, I didn't see anything like going over the Japanese "bayonet/tsulanuki". But there I brought Zaph a broken "Absolute Knife Zangeki".

The colour of the day I saw it looks like it was blinded even though it was broken. I've been telling you the fact that I obviously liked the look of it.

I would love to see this sword come back to life. I was told that I would give the knife that I could do so, and I accepted the color of the sun in two replies.

It took a lot of time to build a knife. But the two swords were brilliantly synthesized, and Zangeki was reborn.

Siuba asked if I could really let go of all this knife, but he says it was because he had me give him the knife on condition. Besides, he was satisfied that he was able to produce a sword.

But he asked for only one. If I ever meet Kuzel one day, he wants me to show him that knife and raise it.

"And I have my present self because Lord Kuzel was there. Thank you, I said."

"... you've become a fine blacksmith"

Are you emotional, far-eyed Kuzel? But Kuzel's expression is strong in the next word.

"Master Hiiro, with his sword, has brought victory to the duel against the 'Beast Nation'"

"... that you are using Zangeki for war?

He was striking at Siuba with an unusual and harsh eye.

When Siuba was staring at Kuzel, suddenly an explosion sounded in the cave.

Shaking then occurs, with fragments falling zero from the ceiling made of dirt walls.

"What's going on?

Lilyn keeps a surprising look by turning her gaze toward the exit.

"Is that a monster?

"No, the monsters who live here won't act like they're going to crash their dwellings. I can deduce that the explosion noise earlier was not caused by the monster..."

The answer is Kuzel, who is familiar with this [Chanjmon Cave].

"Well, that's funny. Does that mean that anyone but the eagles has stepped in?

"... I can't be sure, but maybe"

"... the question is, what brings him here? One thing I can think of..."

Turning his gaze to Kuzel, he shook his neck to the side.

"No, it won't be for me"

"Well, what's the basis for that?

"I'm always in disguise when I go outside, and I'm very careful when I come back here"

"Well, a skilled tailor like that would be an easy problem to break through."

Now, if the sun colour were to follow the target, and if the characters' transparent ',' hidden shape 'and so on were used more often, almost none of us would notice it.

When you can see not only the sun color, but also the good snitch, etc., you won't be able to sense it in a regular person.

Kuzel is not a regular person either, but it may be difficult to break through with someone with the ability to specialize in tailing.

"Right. But there's another reason."

"What?"

"The sound right now is probably a sign that someone fought with the monsters here, but if they came looking for me, they should tail it in a more convenient way. You just get the signs figured out to me, because now you risk giving me extra vigilance and getting away with it. I don't think a good tailor would."

So even if someone is coming here, the purpose is not Kuzel. Lillin also agreed with the idea.

"And no matter how good of a tailor you are, you can't keep me from being noticed for real."

"... Speaking of which, you did"

Kuzel is never complacent. It's almost impossible to tail him quietly, which I do mean to alarm. That's unless you use the magic of irregularly lined day colors......

"Then for what purpose... no, you had one"

"What is it?

"Well, why don't we meet to make sure of that? A mysterious intruder."

Lilyn slowly rises up and nods back as she distorts her face with pleasure.

"Shamoe, and... you're asleep"

It was Mikazuki sleeping at some point on Shamoe's knee pillow that caught my eye.

"Just fine, you stay here."

"Oh, I see."

Shamoe replies in a quiet voice not to wake Mikazuki.

"Let's go, Siuba"

"I'm in awe, lady."

With all due respect, Siuba walks forward so that she can always be Lillin's shield.

"What shall I do?

"I'd say do as you please... but just in case the intruder isn't after you. We just have to hide here with the Shamoes."

".................. ok"

"I'll be back soon to ask for the requirements. Well, it might get a little rough if they cut white, Kukuk."

I just wanted to refresh the atmosphere that was depressing. I don't know what the intruder came here for.

(could be boring)

I followed him after Siuba, thinking it was something I wanted him to enjoy a little.
