The day after it was announced that the Dragon Emperor's Rite would also be held with Princess Dragon's Rite, we came to the town blacksmith.

By the way, this could be a workshop that rented a place to mass produce gear to counter the raids of a bunch of demons.

Its purpose, of course.

"Well, let's make everyone's gear."

Yes, I'm here to refresh everyone's gear.

Because there are so many things that led me to participate in the ritual of the Dragon Princess and the ritual of the Dragon Emperor.

I decided to use this to refresh everyone's gear.

Anyway, Gyro, you haven't changed gear since you became adventurers until today.

Everyone's gear is worn out in previous battles with the Demons and the other day with dragons and hordes of demons.

It's time to replace it with proper equipment, because there are limits to magical defenses.

"Wow! I'm so excited for you to make our gear!

"These gyros, don't make too much noise. You're embarrassing me."

"Mina's excited, too," he said.

"Haha, it's kinda exciting to have new gear anyway"

and Gyro, you can't wait.

"I've had my gear built before, so this time it's the same."

and Ms Liliera whines as she drifts a slightly unfortunate air.

"No, Liliera's equipment has been repaired and renovated. We've got just enough good materials."

"What!? Are you good?!? Or will you be better equipped than this?"

Liliera, who didn't think she could even wear her gear, looks at me with a mixed look of surprise and excitement.

"Yeah, I haven't had enough material so far, so it was a matching gear, but I think it's time for more decent material, so I can feel good."

"... we've been dealing with each other..."

Is that it? Mr. Liliera's eyes suddenly wandered through the universe, but what's wrong?

I thought you'd be happy to finally get decent gear from your previous matching gear.

"Good for you guys..."

And Mr. Leune, who was following me, groans jealously.

"No, I'll make Mr. Lune's gear properly, so you don't have to worry about it."

"Yes!? Can you make my gear too?!?"

I raise my voice of surprise at what Mr. Lune said.

"But I'm not one of Master Rex's, am I? Can you give me, the outsider who pressed and apprenticed, the secret of the equipment that the Dragon Emperor handles?!?"

No, it's nothing. I'm not a dragon knight or a dragon emperor.

Oh, but I might be using Dwarf technology a little bit.

... well.

"Don't worry about it. Mr. Lune will also participate in Princess Ryu's ritual, so if you are not well equipped, you will be fighting fierce men gathered from all over the world."

And for a limited time, Mr. Lune is my apprentice.

I guess it's like kindness as a master to do something for your apprentice.

Well, I won't tell you because I'm ashamed.

"I'm glad, Master Rex. - Ugh!

It's cute to be like a little animal to express your joy as Mr. Lune jumps to Piong Piong, who is excited by the way he is impressed.

Besides, I have to get ready for you, too.

That's why I decided to rent a corner of the workshop with the permission of the blacksmith's parents...

"" "" Jee...... ""

Everyone in the workshop is staring at me, right?

Well, that's the condition of letting me work in the workshop, so I can't help it.

When I asked you to let me use the workshop, my parents asked me to show you my work on condition.

I was confused about whether that was a good idea, but my parents didn't ask me that it was worth more than getting paid.

"The other day the handiwork of making weapons with dragon materials was brilliant. At that time, the situation was such that I couldn't look closely, so I want you to concentrate on this one."

I just make it normal.

It would be a problem to show it if it was a first-rate craftsman's secret, but what I learned was some skill as a blacksmith.

Or does the parent want to see how blacksmiths in other countries can be described as other genres?

If the land is different, the materials used will often be different, and I might want to know those little differences.

If it's technology to the extent that you can see it, it won't change a lot if the country is different, and if it is, it's fine to show it, right?

"Well, here we go."

The main material used this time is the scale of dragons obtained at Dragon Peak.

Also take materials from previously obtained enchanted plants, scales from Bahamut recovered on Sky Island, and materials from various chimeras obtained from underground ruins.

Arrange other sets of equipment borrowed from everyone to confirm size and renovation.

"Well, let's start with weapons."

When I put the scales of crushed dragons in the furnace, I cast protective magic on the furnace.

Then, with high thermal magic, the heat inside the furnace is raised, and the scales are melted as the impurities of the dragon scales are incinerated.

Then, where the melted scales have flowed to the bottom of the furnace, the temperature is slowly lowered while the machining magic forms into various shapes.

"Hey, that's the furnace we're using, right? Why do dragon scales melt so easily?"

"I mean, why is the material flowing in from the furnace already in the form of a weapon!?"

"And are you even working on other equipment in parallel?!?"

"Me... are you sure you're looking at the blacksmith job?

The blacksmiths are surprised behind something, but why not?

Well, but now I'm concentrating on the work in front of me.

As usual, I just make gear by repeating the steps I used to take in my previous life.

And a few days later, when I told them that everyone's gear was complete, everyone rushed to the workshop.

Everyone's gear is lined up at the workshop table.

"I'm surprised you're really equipped for everyone. Even though ordinary bespoke equipment takes a lot of time to make one."

"Well, when you order a famous workshop, you wait in order on a yearly basis, but I don't have that much skill."

"" "" "" Huh?

"Huh?"

Why are you all looking at me like that?

"As it were, well, good. It's the usual."

"" "" Oh, my God. ""

I wonder why everyone agrees with me when they say they are.

"Then everyone try on the new gear. I'll adjust as soon as it's loose or tight."

"" "" "" Yes "" "

"Heh heh, my brother's new gear for me - duh! Oh, my gear is red! Nice, that's cool!

"Did you even bother to color it? I don't know about the surface. I'm gonna be worn out in battle anyway, isn't that a waste of money?

Look at the new gear, Shaggy. Gyro, look at you and ask me if Mr. Mina is a waste.

"That paint is part of the gear, too. That red paint is powdering the blood of a flame-specific ruby dragon, and it also enhances your fire attribute attack by gaining resistance to the magic and heat of fire attributes. Gyro, you're good at enhanced magic for fire attributes, so your gear goes with it."

"Oh, that's why our gear's colored, too."

and Mr. Norb gives a convincing voice as they look at their gear.

Yes, the gear we have for everyone this time was painted to suit each of the physical strengthening magic attributes.

It's a bit of a trick, but if it's your own gear, you'll want to pay attention to the colors.

"Cheng Cheng... I mean, when you get to this point, it's more of a magic item than a new gear..."

"Whoa! That sword is so cool! You look big, red, strong and good!

"The sword can also be used as a magic wand to enhance the magical power of the Flame attribute. Plus, with magic in the sword itself, you can instantly activate the magic of the simple flame that created the technique."

"" "" "Are you serious?!?" "

All the blacksmiths who seemed to be listening in the workshop raise their voices of surprise.

"When did you plant that stuff?!?"

"The speed of the work and the accuracy of the machining were too great to notice at all!?"

I was just working at normal speed?

I used to work with people I knew in my previous life, literally at an unstoppable speed.

There's no such thing as a guy who can only work at visible speeds. I always said it was only half a serving.

Everyone finishes putting on new gear while we talk like that.

"What do you say? Aren't you tight or loose?

"I'm perfectly fine, man!

"Yeah, it fits. In other words, the renovation changes shape quite a bit."

Mr. Liliera is shouting surprises when he sees his refurbished gear.

"Yeah, why did you significantly renovate it while replacing it with a new material? I tuned it to suit everyone's fighting style and attributes, so maybe it's a little bit more user-friendly."

"Well done... but if it's not this far, it's brand new."

Or so I said, Mr. Liliera seems happy.

I knew the new gear would be exciting.

"Ah, that Master Rex, it's my gear..."

and Mr. Lune, dressed for new gear, has spoken to me.

"I think it kind of resembles the previous gear."

Oh, that's sharp.

"Yes, Mr. Lune's gear is diverting the gear he used from the original. The original material used good stuff."

Yes, Mr. Lune's gear was worn out, but the material he was using wasn't bad in itself.

That's why I revamped Mr. Lune's combat style while remembering the Dragon Knight gear I saw in his previous life.

Or something like an ancient dragon knight gear modification.

"Mr. Lune's gear has been handed down from generation to generation, so it's better to keep using it."

"Huh!? Were you thinking that far, Master..."

Mr. Lune speaks to me with a trembling voice.

"Even when Mr. Lune didn't know how to take care of the spears he inherited and couldn't use them properly, he kept using them without easily changing his weapon, so I'm sure the armor would be thoughtful."

"Oh, thank you, Master Rex!"

Mr. Leune gives his thanks in tears.

"Me, I will definitely try to win at Princess Ryu's ritual!

Yeah, it's good to be motivated.

"Wow! I want to use my new gear!

"Well, I'd like to tame my gear before we play the game."

Haha, looks like everyone wants to try new gear.

"Then let's test the new gear and hunt the demons."

"" "" "" "Yes!

"Cu!"

Moffmoff, you're not going hunting for rice, are you?

"Yuku."

We were headed for a human settlement flying above the territory.

We are Dark Dragons.

A proud, pitch-black dragon.

I don't want you to go with a cluttered fish like a black dragon, even if you're wrong.

They have different scales of luster.

Behold, a beautiful glow as if wet with this water.

... derailed.

We have no taste in herds, and we can't be with other dragons.

I didn't know about this disturbance at first.

However, when I heard rumour-loving emerald dragons squeaking softly, I realized why it had been so noisy outside the nest recently.

And so we decided to head to a human settlement.

The reason for this is to ravage humans.

Because I found out that the gold that claimed to be our leader was defeated every human being.

Besides, I can't believe it because I followed moldy ancient constraints and other shameless imitations of putting humans on their backs.

Our dragons are the most powerful creatures in the world.

The dragon must not follow a very fragile human being.

Therefore, on behalf of the mundane Golden Dragon, we tend to correct the sentiments of the human community.

It's a corner. Are we going to teach both humans that the strongest dragon is not the Golden Dragon, but our Dark Dragon?

They show us the power of the Dark Ruler, both human beings!

"Captain, the humans are approaching."

and noticed the young dragons of the flock wandering out of the settlement.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

"Oh, that sounds pathetic"

The young dragons are pointing their eyes towards us expecting something, even as they purposefully raise their voices to pity both humans.

Damn, they have no choice.

"All right, all right. Then we should ravage them first so that they don't feel lonely."

"Ha ha! That's the leader! I get the story!

Young dragons descend towards us and the humans.

Besides, we started descending not only to the younger ones, but also to the older ones.

Oh, man, we're gonna feel sorry for each other for a little while.

Staring to the ground with the thought of something that was not in my mind, a dragon struck the human head.

Shall we tear the humans apart with our proud nails without mistake, or shall we also trample on the speed of the sudden descent?

When both humans watched what kind of death they would expose themselves to, the leading young dragon split into two parts.

In two, split.

"... what?

Huh? What just happened?

"Wow, I'm surprised. What the hell!?"

Gyro gives a surprise when he intercepts a black dragon that suddenly strikes from the sky.

"Looks like the Dragons are attacking us."

And when I looked at the sky according to Rex's gaze, several black shadows were flying through the sky.

"A haggard dragon? Like the guy who attacked town the other day?

Ask Rex if he remembers the Green Dragon that Liliera used to hit the town with her gaze fixed in the sky.

The dragons are wary that their people have been cut loose by the gyros, or they are glued around the sky without attacking them.

"Yeah, but it's not Wyburn you're following, is it? Is it moving more as a herd than a detachment when this happens?

Either way, I just feel bad about being a dragon.

I turn a blind eye to the dragon that Gyro has turned into two.

The color of that black scale is the black dragon that Rex defeated before.

"Or now Gyro has turned the dragon into two. I didn't get Lex to do reinforced magic."

"Speaking of which..."

Hearing Megri's voice, I realized it was Gyro, not Rex, who defeated the Black Dragon.

And not only that, but also that you don't have Rex's backup.

"It's a weapon made from refined dragon materials. It's natural to cut as easily as a dragon scale."

I assure you, Rex, the reasoning feels very strange.

"Yeah... Really? If I hit the dragon scale with a weapon made of dragon material, they're both going to break."

Liliera is asking Lex back with a decent face that she doesn't understand.

Yeah, well, they're both made of the same material.

"It's the same as iron. A weapon that forges iron with the impurities removed is stronger than one that takes the iron ore as it is in the form of a weapon, right? The same dragon material."

"Nah, enough to be. I'm starting to feel that way when they say that."

As a warrior, Liliera speaks convincingly of what has been explained in familiar materials.

"Well, I don't know, but you mean the weapon your brother built is amazing!

Damn, fools are simple and enviable.

Or does that mean Lex has the technology to freely process dragon materials?

When a large group of demons arrived the other day, they used to surprise everyone by easily drilling into the hard dragon material and processing it as a simple piece of equipment, but this time it didn't mean that they could handle the material freely as technicians.

The same machining means something completely different.

Not only are you resistant to cod as a warrior, but you are also out of standard as a wizard.

Besides, I can make magic items as normal, and as a blacksmith, I'm superb at what this guy really is!?

"Anyway, this proved that Mr. Rex's equipment was amazing. Well, I don't know, it was more than I expected..."

And it is kept far away as Norb stares at the red sword in Gyro's hand.

I know exactly how you feel.

There's so much going on that you don't know what to say.

"Okay, I've made up my mind! This sword is a black dragon slayer because it defeated the black dragon!

"No, that sword isn't red, they're gonna stick it in where it's black, absolutely."

I shouldn't, I accidentally stuck it in a stupid statement.

"So it's the Red Dragon Slayer?

"Get away from the dragon slayer, you idiot!

Uh, I know this isn't the kind of situation you're talking about anymore, idiot!

……

If I had a scratch that doesn't matter too much about fools that way, I would have thought of something by staring at the body of a black dragon that Rex had been turned into in half.

"Cuckoo!"

And then there's Moffmoff with his feathers. Is that good?

"What's wrong, Rex?

"No, I'm a little concerned about the luster of the scales"

Scale gloss? What, good luster adds value?

"Cu? Gazigazi"

Oh, I got scaled by Rex.

Well, come on. It's not my hunted prey.

"... oh, this isn't a black dragon"

"Huh?"

Rex, who was still observing the body of the black dragon, suddenly said something like that.

"But isn't it a black dragon because it's black?

"No, this scaly gloss... this is the Dark Dragon, the top attribute dragon."

"" "" "" "Dark Dragon!?" "" "

What, seriously!? Seriously, it's a dark dragon!?

"The dark dragon is about that legendary evil dragon that destroyed many countries with evil curses!?"

Hey, what the fuck is that!? You're saying such a jerk is gluing over the sky!?

'Cause Rex has a kiotong face, huh? I'm just going to look at you.

"No, the Dark Dragon is simply a dragon with the power of Dark Attributes, and you can manipulate darkness or attack it that damages your spirit, but you can't use a curse, can you?

"Oh, really?

If you can't use a legendary curse, aren't you the one who's so scared?

No, well, he's a dragon, so he's scary enough.

"Well, if a weak-minded person is damaged by his or her spirit, he or she may pass out or become the worst abolitionist."

"" "" "" "What's that scare!!" "" "

Hey, that's scary enough!

"It's okay. For once, everyone's gear has some resistance to magic attacks to combat the undead, so the Dark Dragon's mental attacks are hardly damaged."

"Huh? Really?

"Yeah, when I was thinking about the equipment of Mr. Norb, the monk, I figured the monk was the main one fighting the undead, so I put a countermeasure feature on mental and paralytic attacks so that everyone could fight the undead."

"Wow, it had extraordinary features."

What kind of anti-dead measures does a dragon have an effect on an opponent...

"This time the gear is confident for the material in hand. Anyway, the gemstones I used to get from Megalo Whale's parents were excellent catalysts for magic items."

Lex confidently talks about the materials he used in our gear.

"Megalo Whale's parents met at sea. Um?

"Yeah, it's that megalo whale we met during the Kraken commotion. I was wondering if I could use that giant gemstone that Megalo Whale's parents used to give me when making the new gear. Gems are often excellent magic items and ritual catalysts."

"I have extra raw stones or something!?"

Megri changes the color of her eyes and joins the conversation when the word gem comes out.

Because this girl is really vulnerable to golden-eyed objects.

Well, in this kid's case, it's just because of his parents' circumstances.

"So, when I tried it out, it was unexpectedly compatible with the magic item technique, and thanks to it, I equipped it with a variety of features."

Although it wasn't the best material, Rex says satisfactorily that he was able to do the best job using the materials available as they stand.

"Ha, you don't know what kind of functionality it has when you look at it, this equipment."

Truth is, I don't know what's being planted, so hey... no, that's pretty scary.

"I mean, if you take the Dragon's offense, you can't use it for the game because it's too dangerous, like a sword that makes your opponent two straight?

"" "...... Huh!?" "

We hacked into the words that Norb whined casually and looked at each other.

……

Though Lune is tilting his neck, who has yet to correctly understand the horrors of the idiot and Rex.

"Shit...... I sure am! We were about to mass produce the dead at the town festival!

"Instead of a festive pastime, it's not an annoying cry!

"... I think that's just not good"

Liliera raises her panicked voice and Megri squeaks with a blue face.

"Huh? Huh? So what am I supposed to do? Should I fight with my bare hands?

He asks me if I should use my weapon because Lune is bewildered, but it's not that easy.

"No, I don't know what horrible features come with armor as well as weapons. It wouldn't be weird if it had the ability to wipe out the charcoal you attacked!

"No way..."

Next to Lune laughing bitterly, no matter how much it is, Rex puts a puff on his face.

"Oh, you know perfectly well. When it hits a superior opponent, we have designed a shock inversion mechanism that hits the opponent back with the accumulated damage if it takes more than a certain amount of damage."

"" "" There it is. ""

Don't be an innocent delight like you noticed the hidden taste of that dish!

"Hey, Rex! What other features did you put on it!? Tell me everything!

I ask Lex what features he planted in everyone's gear.

"It could have been just the right time for the Dark Dragon to attack us when this happened. Just the right person to try out the features planted in your gear"

You don't know how dangerous it is to hear it in words.

It's good to have a sturdy lab.

"I don't know, but you're going to fight them! All right, man!

"Yes! I don't know, you just have to fight!

I'm excited that two people who still don't understand the situation will fight the Dark Dragon innocently.

Well, that's good. When the battle actually begins, you will understand with your own hands what it meant.

"Okay! Everybody try the new equipment from one end with the Dark Dragon!

"" "" "" "Ooh, ooh, ooh," "" "

"What? Why are you all so vigilant? All I planted in my gear was normal features, right?

"" "Can I trust you!!" "

There's no reason why what Rex made is normal!
