My 【Repair】Skill Became an Almighty Cheat Skill, So I Thought I’d Open Up a Weapon Shop

"... I need to find out. What the hell happened? If you can, do it now."

The [restoration] of the famous sword that Dwarf had in his possession and the mysterious luminescence that arose during [synthesis] with Mithril.

In order to elucidate its causes, we shall first ascertain whether it is a phenomenon that occurs even when treated normally.

Touch the sword body, grasp the pattern and try to lift it.

But there is no particular noticeable reaction, I just can't feel the difference from the sword.

"Maybe there's a reason to make a sword. Now concentrate and [analyze] it."

"Didn't you use it earlier?"

"If you don't activate it consciously, I can't help it. If it's just going to go back to normal, it won't come back to me. Sometimes it pours in on its own..."

That's why we classify it as a separate ability and call it a different name than the others.

Anyway, if you activated it at the same time, if you just [repaired] or [synthesized] it and you get the same effect as [analyzed], it wouldn't make sense to bother to recognize [analyzed] as an independent force.

Close your eyelids while answering Alexia's query and focus your consciousness again to activate [Analysis].

Unlike the Garnet sword made by Noir, there is no trick or workmanship on the surface.

But further back, there is something uncomfortable inside the sword body.

Should I describe it as something thinly and intricately embedded in a sword that is supposed to be completely packed with constituents?

"A 3D magic print? Can you do that...?

"Hey, Mr. Luke! It's glowing again! It's blurry though!

Hear Alexia's voice as she panicked and immediately open her eyes to see what's going on.

It is true that the sword body wraps around a pale light like a blue flame.

"This... is not the same thing as the magic of your skills... again, is it?"

"Oh yeah...... Alexia, give this guy a try [weight loss]"

"Could it be that (...) Y (...) C (...) and (...)?

Alexia activated her [weight loss] skills by gripping the pattern with her conjectured face.

Then, now the silver sword body brings warm colored light.

"I knew it. I'm reacting to the magic of my skills."

"You think so, too? Mithrill-made weapons enhance magic action, but they shouldn't shine in strange ways, so it sounds good to see that kind of functionality planted in a weapon."

With that hypothesis in my mouth, I will now try to [synthesize] the normal sword and misrill delivered.

"... no particular response. It feels more familiar than regular steel, but it needs to glow. What's not normal is the construction of a sword."

As the analysis progresses smoothly, the nature of the light-emitting phenomenon, which was a mystery, is also revealed little by little.

First and foremost, this phenomenon is reacting to the magical power of skills.

Secondly, the cause is not the metal of my skills and materials - although the latter is not to be said to be entirely irrelevant - it lies in what appears to be a magical crest planted inside the sword body.

The same thing doesn't happen with regular Neulars swords, they are more familiar with misrills than regular iron swords, so much so that some performance improvements are likely to be expected.

"Still, how could they have left me until I was so worn out? You took care of yourself for the rest of your life and didn't check the contents... why don't you ask the Neulars later around?"

"Um... can I ask you something very basic?

No more fundamental questions are posed as Erica raises her hand to the height of her forehead and shoulder, slightly awkwardly frowning.

"Blah, glow like this, what's the point?

"... I wonder what. [Analysis] I didn't feel weird inside either."

"... I wonder what it is. [Weight loss] has not been enhanced."

Both me and Alexia had to twist their necks together.

If it's an unfounded imagination that doesn't even make a hypothesis, I think it can be bumped up as much as possible, but I doubt it makes any sense to do so.

If this was a life-threatening emergency, I was just picking out the most likely one because it doesn't matter if it's less than hypothetical, but now it's not that urgent either.

"Why don't you ask Noir later? If it's a magic print, it's a skill range."

"Not today. Mr. Noir is on holiday."

Mouth the idea of relying on noir. No, Erica comes ahead and nails me.

"I mean, if it's going to take a while, it's good after tomorrow. Even though I think Mr. Noir's been working too hard these days."

"I know. I'm responsible for his business-- no, I'm responsible."

I'm a shopkeeper, an employer, and Noir is a clerk and an employee.

If there is a risk that Noir will overwork, I am solely responsible for it.

I decided to finish the analysis first, put my sword in the sheath and put it on the workbench, and Harriet, a branch staff member, looked at me a little bit from the store.

"Store manager. It's time to go to 'HQ'. Garnett, you're making me angry."

"Oops. Sorry, Erica, Alexia. Can I take care of the rest?

He put too much effort into analyzing the luminescence phenomenon, and the time to his next appointment had pushed him.

"It's okay. I have two people coming from the branch office."

"It's also a big prep for the Knights headquarters, isn't it? It's not good to keep everyone waiting, and we'll take care of the shop."

While appreciating the care of Erica and Alexia, I left the display and storage of the Neulars sword to the two of us, and I decided to go to the Knights headquarters under construction with only a sword for Ezel.

As we all say, the preparations over there are finally loaded.

Not all knights have been dispatched yet, but they are at least just getting ready to function as a base of activity for the Knights.

Before leaving the store, we shall also call on the staff who have come from the branch office.

"Sorry I'm busy over there."

"No. Rather, it was just fine. Because I was planning on shopping on the ground for the rest of tomorrow. Sometimes I want to go into this hot spring."

"That's right. The big bath over there, the hot water should be the same as this one, but you still don't have enough atmosphere?"

Harriet and the rest of the branch staff are laughing with pleasure at what they plan to do tomorrow.

I left the store to them like that, switching my thoughts from an arms store owner to a knight captain, and hurriedly stepped out of the store.
