Legend

Ten days had passed since the troubles in Zuboz were resolved, and Ray had acted with four people: Elaine, Vihera, Büne and Ara.
Though I should describe it as four and two, precisely because Seto and Yellow also go in there.
Elaine and Ara have not registered as adventurers because of their status, but they are still partying half the time because they are acting with Ray and the others.
It's not like the most crusade requests, but it was enough to take me to the woods where there had been cyclops a few times before to see if there were any abnormalities.
Is there anything else like the dismantling of the Cyclops, which previously ended halfway through the Kobolt raid?
Ningro, apart from the request, Ray was swinging to the four of us... precisely to Elaine and Vihera.
For hanging out with Elaine's guilm sights, or having a mock fight with Vihera.
The Rays, who spend that way, were on their way to a certain painting of Gilm today.
"... why do we need to go too? Ray's the only one who asked Azimov for a job, right?
The reason Vihela seems a little grumpy would be because she was supposed to have a mock fight with Elaine today.
It was Vihella and Elaine who tried to get out of the Guild to do a mock fight, but there was a letter from Azimov.
"I understand Vihera's dissatisfaction. I think it would be quicker if I sent you a letter in the first place."
Given Azimov's character, he would come to see us in person rather than imitating things like giving us letters.
Everyone else was convinced of Ray's words like that, and Vihera, who was being foolish, was also inspired by her curiosity to fix her mood and move on throughout the city of Gilm.
Beauty, there is a griffon ceto with all the beautiful girls, and there is a yellow on the back of that ceto. The only thing that doesn't stand out in this was Ray wearing a dragon robe hood, a line that would attract more attention around him if he went down the boulevard, but with less eyes for such a person in the back streets with less crowds.
Even in a row where many people are used to being noticed, there is still a feeling of relief somewhere around them when they enter a less visible place like this.
Just because you're used to being seen doesn't mean you're tired of it.
As we continue down the street, which is becoming less popular, we eventually see the Azimov house and laboratory, which Ray visited several times before.
"Well, that building... seems a little bigger than the surrounding area, but externally, there's nothing out of the ordinary about it."
That was the first thought Elaine had spoken of when she saw Azimov's house.
The fact is, from what I've seen on the outside, it only looks like a normal building.... but on the outside.
"It's a pleasure to be inside."
Look at that mess, what attitude Elaine takes.
With such a slightly ill-intentioned thought, Ray knocks on the door.
(Come out obsessed with experimentation again anyway...)
I guess it won't come out.
Behind such Ray's thoughts, the next moment the door opens.
"Oh, you're late."
"... Pamidor?
Ray showed up through the knocked door with a vicious look on Pamidor's face that should also be described as the bandit's great kinsman.
As Fujirai turns her gaze behind her, Elaine reaches for the Mirage pattern and Ara reaches for the Power Axe on her back.
"Easy, you guys. The exterior is vicious, and the personality vicious... is that it?
I was Ray trying to explain that there was no danger if it was meant to be, but when I try to give a detailed explanation about Pamidor from that mouth, it ends up being a vicious person.
And after hearing Ray's explanation, Elaine and the others decided, as a matter of course, that the person in front of them was the one who broke into Azimov's house...
"Not, this guy's a friend of Azimov's!
With such Ray's voice, Elaine and the others stop moving.
He then turns his gaze toward Ray to make sure the words are true, whereas Ray turns his gaze toward Seto, who is behind Elaine and the others, and opens his mouth.
"Look, Seto's not particularly wary of Pamidor either."
The words were true, Seto, who had met Pamidor many times, didn't even show how he cared, he rang his throat every time he said it had been a long time, and Yello was taking a nap in the spring sun on such a Seto.
Elaine and the others, who saw it, finally break the alert.
Viewing Ray like that is Vihera. Now, I smile when I say that Elaine and Arla's attitude is no surprise.
Beaune's watched a series of disturbances without moving his expression in particular, as usual.
"Sorry, Pamidor."
With Ray's words at the head, other faces also say words of apology to Pamidor.
To such Elaine and the others, Pamidor opens his mouth by shaking his neck to the side that he doesn't particularly care.
"Ma, it's the usual and don't worry about it. That's a lot prettier than that."
Ray was impressed by the appearance of just a little envy.
... Because I'm saying it with a vicious face, or from the side, it looks like I'm telling Ray to leave the woman behind.
"Okay, say that? You were married, right? Unfortunately, I've never met anyone who likes to marry Pamidor."
"Unplug me. I'm not that little jealous of a vessel."
After such a cheap exchange somewhere, Pamidor opens his mouth.
"Besides, Azimov called you over there, didn't he?
"Oh, yeah, but.... you mean you too? I haven't heard anything about the spear."
Ray, Pamidor and Azimov. The alignment of these three meant that Ray was for a moment wondering if there had been any progress about the spear Ray was asking for, but Pamidor shook his neck sideways.
"No, it's not a spear.... It just didn't feel like it had anything to do with your spear..."
Apparently, Pamidor already understands what reason Azimov called the Rays.
"Again, that sounds vague."
"Even I wasn't asked for a detailed explanation. I just talked to Azimov and thought maybe he would. Go up anyway. What am I supposed to say?"
"Pamidor would be fine. Azimov and I are close.... Seto"
"Gru."
Seto, who was called upon by Ray, I guess that's all Ray understood what he wanted to say. Ringing his throat briefly, he rolls to sleep beside the front door of Azimov's house with a yellow on his back.
"Cu? Cu, cu!
You must have noticed Seto fell asleep. I'll play Seto when the sleeping yellow on its back gets down on the ground, and I'll hang out.
"Guru...... Guru, Guru"
To such a yellow, Seto becomes a playmate using his tail.
When I think of Ray, who wanted to watch for a while, but was called by Azimov, to the sight of soothing, I enter the house.
That is the case with the others, many of whom would have liked to be in this place if they could, but still go into the house wondering if Azimov has any more important business than being called using the means of a letter.
...... even though my hair is pulled back by the two adorable looks.
That's how he enters the house, and Azimov greets the Rays ahead of him, guided by Pamidor, looking like a delightful face.
It was unusual for Azimov, who usually seemed in a bad mood, and that was enough to wonder if something had happened.
"You've come so well! Actually, I called the Rays today because I wanted to report something."
Anyone would understand that the mood is elevated if they look at Azimov now.
To that extent, Azimov was not in the usual mood.
"I thought it was definitely about the spear that you and I called Pamidor... you said no?
"Oh. No, it has to do with the spear thing, to be exact.... Ray brought it, would there have been a hammer that Cyclops was using?
"There it is."
An experimental magic item of the combat automatic reaction nerve made by the trousers passes Ray's back of the brain: running thunder where it was attacked, giving the user powerful regenerative abilities, and eventually taking over the body with roots stretched out in the body.
I knocked down Cyclops to get that hammer and offered Azimov to use it on the spear thing he was asking for...
"I mean, did you figure something out with that hammer?
"That's right. This, if successful, could be a great discovery of the century. I just need to be able to make that hammer material first because I have that hammer."
"Materials,"
There were lots of gaps, eventually runaway pants, but still I guess I was very competent as an alchemist.
From what Azimov looks like now, Ray had to think so, even though he didn't like it.
"So what happened to that hammer?
"... Simply put, mass production of magic items may be possible"
Shin, and. The room is surrounded by silence.
Now it came out of Azimov's mouth because it was so unexpected.
The first person to open his mouth like that was Pamidor, who had the longest relationship with Azimov.
"Azimov, for once... I really ask you once, can you mass produce light magic items that you use on a daily basis, or magic items that spark a spark, right?
"Naturally!
In response to Pamidor's words, Azimov reacts immediately.
Substitutes such as lights and spark magic items are easy to make and are already mass-produced.
Once again, there will be no need to mass produce that mass produced substitute.
"Mass production in this case is, to put it plainly, a substitute like the Devil's Sword. … of course the ability of the Devil's Sword, created by mass production, never extends to objects made by craftsmen. But it still has enough performance to be called the Devil's Sword. You know, something like a demon sword situated between a normal long sword and a demon sword."
"If you mean mass production, can't you help it?... So, how exactly do you make that mass-produced demon sword?
Interested in the word mass production of the Devil's Sword, Pamidor turns a blind eye to curiosity and asks Azimov.
Then Azimov retrieves his normal, undifferentiated long sword when he says he's been waiting.
"Ready? First wash this long sword's body with the water produced by magic. This is to wash away things like blood, rust, and dirt, even if you just hit it, you'll always need it."
Saying so, Azimov sinks the long sword's body into the water created by magic, and this one wipes its body with a cloth enchanted for alchemy.
The next thing you have prepared is a substitute that at first glance only looks like clay.
"This clay contains magic adjusted to have a higher affinity with the hammer Ray brought. Let this clay slide further into my magic..."
As the word goes, slip the clay to the body.
Because of the magic in the clay, there was light in the clay rubbed body.
When you slip clay on all of your fillings, eventually all of your fillings are wrapped in a pale light.
"While this light is out... this is it"
The next thing I have prepared is a same-length sauce just the same as a long sword sashimi.
It was made of metal and had some powder in it.
(Sounds like you're making some cutlets. with flour and eggs and a bread flour feel)
At the end of Ray's gaze, who thinks he's a little hungry, Azimov casts a spell by putting the sword-filled contents inside the magic formation... I wonder if he only glared for a moment at the end, and the long sword's body has turned into a slightly different color than before.
"Done.... but as I said earlier, this demon sword is not that powerful a substitute. Attacks are also effective on undead monsters like the Ghost, but only to the extent that they can do damage."
Still, Azimov tells me it will definitely sell in the sense that it is available cheaper than the common demon sword.
"I would sell it... so how does the hammer problem end up affecting me?
"This is it."
That's what Azimov showed me: metal powder.
Once that was done, Ray could see what this metal powder was made of.
"You turned that hammer into metal powder."
"That's right. Yeah, of course I have a decent portion to use on your spear. This is the guy who used the rest of it."
"That's good, but wouldn't you be able to mass produce without that hammer after all?
"Yes, that's why I called Ray. If you get that hammer material, will you turn it over here? If we do some more research, we might be able to do the same thing with more of another material"
To Azimov's words, Ray only told him that if he got it... he would listen to the spear's progress before leaving Azimov's house.
"Aren't you happy for Ray when it comes to mass production of magic items?
On the way home, out the back road to the boulevard, Ray gives a difficult look to Elaine's words, which he knows Ray has a hobby for collecting magic items.
"It's a cheap version of what you call a magic item, right? That's..."
"Mr. Ray!
Before Ray said it to the end, there was such a voice all around him.
