Ray and Pamidor, who came to Azimov's workshop, knock on the door in front of them.
As always, only in places with few signs of people, the sound of knocking was echoing all around me wondering if this was still the case.
But the door doesn't open.
"... Shit, again. Are you passionate about research, or are you simply sleeping? Either way, it's not as obvious as it is. Ray, break the door."
"What?"
All of a sudden it was Ray gazing at Pamidor about what he was going to say, but it didn't include any jokes there.
There was no doubt that he was demanding that the door be broken down with extreme seriousness.
"No, you can't. Suppose it's a house where people live, huh? If the guards see you destroying this door, they'll catch you."
"It's okay, it's not the first day I've broken this door."
In that tone, it stinks that I've broken the door several times before.
"I've been found by guards before, but they helped me."
"... is that true? He said he helped the guards break the door."
"Oh.... well, I had a lot of problems then if I didn't break the door and go inside"
The way he looked softly out of sight and stared at the distance had created an atmosphere where he could not hear what had happened.
I only met him once, but Ray also knows Azimov's character, albeit somewhat.
With that in mind, I could easily have predicted that something terrible had happened.
"Whatever. After the incident, they saw Azimov's door broken, but they stopped saying anything.... Of course it's not just who did it, it's limited to me and a few others. So do it."
Ray, gazed at, exhales wondering if he had any choice but to do it.
"Gru?"
Seto squeaks his throat and gazes at Ray like that.
The circular eyes conveyed only the thought of worrying about Ray from the bottom of my heart.
"Don't worry. It's nothing."
Ray, gently stroking Seto's head, lays his hands on the door... stripping him forcefully from the house.
The sound of forcing a tree to tear sounds all around, but there are few people around.
Even if people go through sometimes, convince them in a way like 'Oh, again...' if you try to be the one who knows it's Pamidor there, and walk away wanting to avoid getting involved with the mighty Pamidor even if you don't know it.
Some of them naturally knew Seto, and some of them knew Ray, although the numbers were small.
But more than that, people traveling around this neighborhood would have felt strongly inclined to avoid getting involved because they knew that this was Azimov's house and workshop.
"Hey, Azimov. You're not dead!
Ray talks as he strokes Seto's head as he watches Pamidor enter through the open door.
"Well, me and Pamidor are going inside, so I need you to keep an eye out here for anyone coming. If the door stays open, a strange guy could come in."
"Gru!"
Hearing Seto's reply, he entered the building to follow Pamidor by keeping Seto asleep in front of the house, and Ray felt his words a little closer to the criminal when he spoke to Seto.
(No, it's your fault. Besides, nobody's asking me, and I mean safe for now)
He proceeded through the building with an excuse for himself, and when he arrived at the previously passed room, there he was gazing at Azimov's back like Pamidor had been stunned.
Azimov doesn't look like he noticed the two of them at all, even though they say they're getting into the house on their own.
Speaking of what I was doing without even realizing it, it just seemed like a suspicious experiment from Ray's eyes.
It wasn't actually a suspicious thing, I was doing experiments on alchemy, but from Ray's eyes, it doesn't look like anything but a suspicious experiment.
Pamidor's fist strikes the back of Azimov's head like that.
I'm not really beating you up.
Pamidor's muscle strength, built up by years of blacksmithing, is very strong.
That would be overwhelming in terms of offense compared to a beginner who became an adventurer.
It was Azimov who was too enthusiastic about the experiment to even realize that Ray or Pamidor was behind him, but I'd notice that if he just waved his fist down the back of his head.
"Ouch! Who!"
"It's me, me. And Ray.... Damn, it would be nice to concentrate on the experiment, but be careful if anyone comes."
"... what is it, Pamidor? And Ray. Unfortunately, the spear isn't ready yet. Things are going well, but I still can't imitate turning a broken demon sword into a spear so quickly."
I wondered if Azimov would complain about Pamidor and Ray, especially Ray, who were there when he turned around.
It's only been about a winter, so if it's the right kind of job to take the Devil's Sword out of your hands, like this one... I also thought it would be normal for you to understand that it's a pretty difficult job to rebuild the Devil's Sword on a spear that was used by the superior class.
Especially since the Devil's Sword is broken.
Even if it's self-evident if you know alchemy and blacksmiths, you don't know if Ray has any knowledge of the area, which is why I thought you might complain...
"Well, that helps."
"What?"
Totally unexpected things are said, and rarely puzzles Azimov's expression.
Naturally. Even if they had ever complained about me being late for work before, I had never been thanked for it.
That's why Azimov questions Ray's words.
"What do you mean?
"Actually, recently...... no, should I say today? Get a little magic item. So, the magic item had a pretty good ability, so I was wondering if I could incorporate it into the spear if I could."
"... ho"
Changing the look on his face a few seconds ago, Azimov gives an interesting and other look.
"That's interesting in a lot of ways, but can I ask what kind of magic item it is?
"Oh. I came here because I wanted you to see that, too. When I showed it to Pamidor, she told me it might not be possible."
"What?
Azimov looks to Pamidor for Ray's words.
What was in those eyes was something like saying something stupid.
But Pamidor, who turned that gaze, shook his neck to the side.
Whatever you say, you won't understand until you actually see that hammer.
(I suppose small magic items like ornaments can also be incorporated into a spear, but that hammer)
In the first place, you can't use a hammer like that in a normal person.
Pamidor opens his mouth so as to control Azimov's destinations, who tried to say something to himself.
"Before you say anything to me, take a look at the magic items that Ray has actually gotten. So if you decide you can incorporate it into a spear, I won't say anything either."
"... ok. Ray, please."
"Uh... I'm glad you said that, but you can't do it a bit here. It's got to be a little bigger."
"You think it's a big place?
Pamidor nods next to Ray and opens his mouth to Azimov as he asks.
"Right, Ray's right. It's too small here.... Sure, there was a backyard in this house once, right? There we go."
"No. Wait, what does that mean?
"Fine, let's go. It's actually quicker to watch than to listen to people."
To the words of such a pamidor, Azimov also rises up and leaves the room with an unacceptable nod.
(Totally, I wouldn't know if Ray's magic item would be too much.)
Though I was dissatisfied in my heart.
Still, it's Ray, who had a substitute for the noise demon sword. It was easy to predict that the magic items I brought would also be the right ones.
"Backyard, backyard.... Yeah, when I do see this, the expression backyard doesn't seem to fit any better."
Backyard of Azimov's house.
It was such a sight to call it a backyard, which, to be honest, confuses me.
I guess it also affects that it's spring, but the grass is stretching all you can, and many tree branches are rolling to the ground to see if it flew out of nowhere due to the snowfall in the winter.
I wasn't particularly complaining because the image of the backyard in Ray was just like the one in front of me, but I still had a few thoughts.
But Azimov turns his gaze to Ray and opens his mouth when it doesn't matter.
"Look, we've come this far, so that's enough. Just show me that magic item."
Ray nods at Azimov's words and takes the hammer out of the mistering, just as he did when he took it out - precisely in the workshop - at Pamidor's.
"Oops!... this again... don't"
Probably because Ray's hammer was an unexpected size. From Azimov's mouth is a voice of consternation.
In response to such Azimov, Pamidor had a somewhat empathetic grin.
Pamidor was surprised when he suddenly saw this hammer, so I guess he's happy to have someone with the same thoughts.
"Oh. As you can see, it's huge. I defeated the rare or superior species of Cyclops and got it."
Tell him so, and Ray will explain to Azimov what Hammer is capable of.
Azimov is intrigued by the story of lightning, staring at the hammer to feed in the story of bringing powerful regenerative abilities to the user, and hearing that it takes its will by rooting in the user's body, frowns.
Azimov was seen by those around him as a variety of dangerous people, but his sensitivity to magic items was definitely common.
"So, what do you want to do with this hammer?
"The first time I melted some of this hammer, I was going to use it on the spear I was asking for... Pamidor told me I couldn't do that. So, I thought Azimov would bring it."
"I see. Well, I don't know how Pamidor would want to say that. But hey. That's just because Pamidor thinks from a blacksmith's point of view. With my skill, it'll take a little work, but I can handle it."
Pamidor frowns and opens his mouth to the words he tells with ease.
"Hey, there's no reason why you shouldn't have tried, is there? This is the only magic item. Because it's hard to use the rays, you can't use them..."
"Huh. Is that the opinion of ordinary people? I'll take care of it."
To Azimov, who utters a confident word, Ray goes on to make sure.
"You really can do this, can't you?
"Oh.... I just said, it's going to be a job that takes a lot of time. As a reward, I would like to receive the unused portion of this hammer. Oh, don't worry, I'll only use a few hammers to use magic items or something like that."
To Azimov's words, Ray turns his gaze toward Pamidor.
Is that true? and the gaze asking.
Pamidor, whose gaze was turned, nodded back to Ray with a surprise look on Azimov's words.
Azimov tells all sorts of great things in his mouth, but his talent in alchemy is real, because he knows there are no lies there.
"Okay. Then I'll leave it entirely to you regarding the hammer. And tell me if there's any missing material. 'Cause I'll collect it whenever I can."
Words out of Ray's mouth are never lies.
Beyond the presence of a ceto, I can pick up the material right away, even if it is somewhat away.
Rare materials are often found in less proximate areas of people, starting with the border, and you need to be prepared to fight powerful monsters to get them.
But for Ray, dealing with such a monster also led to obtaining Ning Lo's rare Demon Stone, which was Ning Lo's wish and fulfillment.
(With that said, you didn't even absorb the demon stone you got in the dungeon. I totally forgot all about it.... No, can Cyclops demon stones be absorbed? If Seto was in the fight, he could absorb it, but... when the Vihelas get back, why don't you ask around for a second)
I was looking forward to seeing if I could acquire any skills, Ray, but Fujimov's whining came into my ear.
"Still, what did an alchemist from the Bestian Empire make such a magic item?
