The Best Assassin, Incarnated into a Different World’s Aristocrat
Episode Five: Assassins Make Rings
The third morning came after counting from the day I wore it down.
My body is mild and the pain is gone.
"Finally, it's healed"
The wounds sustained during the analysis of [the fruit of life] healed.
There are no burns or marks of wounds left.
Thanks to my father for doing the right thing. [Ultra-recovery] Forced self-resilience enhancement at your disposal leaves a mark.
Appearance is an important element for assassins.
To get into the target's nostalgia, first impressions are important and sadly appearances refer to things. Ugly scars, burns, etc. can be a big handful.
"If it hadn't been for [super recovery], I would have fallen asleep on an annual basis"
A major injury that will take three days to heal with my body. [Ultra-recovery] originally multiplies healing power by a hundred times. Even though his proficiency has increased by a hundred or dozen times his resilience, he can hardly move for three days.
"That power has also become strangely tamed"
Slightly into the body, the power of [the fruit of life], which has completely become part of the flesh. Even though I have a lid on it now, I can feel a good connection.
As things stand, there are only benefits.
But I can't be alarmed. It's like holding a bomb.
That's why we need to figure out how to get along with this properly.
◇
Use the recording function of the communication machine to check if there has been any significant communication during the three days.
There's only one contact, from Marha.
My condition is heard from Tart, so he wants me to contact him when he wakes up.
Just use the comms machine.
I'm busy over there, so it'll be hard to answer, but I can tell you on the recording when this one can pick up the phone.
But that prediction was betrayed.
The comms were connected and Marha took it in a second.
I'm sure he was glued to the comms.
"Is your body better?!?
"Oh, it's okay now. It's stronger than before."
'Yes, I was really worried. Something I've thought about throwing out all my work and rushing over there'
"Why didn't you?
"Because this is my battlefield that Brother Lug entrusted me with."
"Good boy."
It does what needs to be done. It's easy to put into words, but there's not much that can be done about it.
And I'm very grateful to have a subordinate who does the right thing at all times. I can trust you and leave you to it.
'You know I hate being treated like that, don't you?
"I'm sorry. I can't get out of my habits. Is that all you need?"
'No, I could arrange what Brother Lug was asking for. Gems to use for necklaces. And a gem for the ring, which also specifies the stone for three types. Diamonds, emeralds and sapphires. And Mithril.'
"Appreciate it"
"I'm sorry, I wanted to get all the specials, but Emerald and Sapphire only got the first-class items."
"No, Emerald and Sapphire are more of a first-class product"
Emerald and sapphire specialties are less than 5% based on overall mining volume.
I asked him to get it ready in a hurry, I can't help but get it.
Besides, the truth is that the difference between the superior and the first level can be masked by technology.
'Hey, can I ask you a question?
"I don't mind."
"The necklace is a gift for Lady Esri. I hear the ring is an engagement ring... but how come there are three types of gems for the ring? You're designing two gems for one ring?
The voice is mixed with anxiety and anticipation.
Marha has the answer in her chest that she wants it to be.
"No, I simply make three. The first diamond, the overwhelming but elegant combined glow, the charm that changes the expression at all costs in the way it is cut, the strength of the will that is reminiscent of the nature of the hardest. Perfect for Dia's image. Dia's engagement ring uses diamonds."
'That's not what my diamond looks like. It does have a unique shine, but I have an image of it being used in industry for that hardness. And we treat it as a jewel. "
"I would have said, when the image changes with the cut"
This one doesn't have the skill to polish the diamonds. Diamonds are extremely hard substances and difficult to process.
And an unprocessed diamond is not as beautiful as a scissor.
In fact, even in the pre-reincarnation world, it was underrated as a gem until the technology of diamond cutting was established.
But I can cut diamonds beautifully.
Let's make it more beautiful than any gem and more Dia worthy.
'I'd like to see the finished product. So, other than that diamond, what do you say?
"Emerald is the image of tart. Emerald coloured, warm glow, rests only on the side. That's what Tart is for me, and that's why I chose Emerald."
Emerald is not just a jewel of beauty. Has the effect of soothing the mind.
'Sure, Tart does. I'm relieved to have that kid... so what about the sapphire?
Marha's voice is trembling. Seems pretty nervous.
Shall we stop being mean?
"Sapphire is a beautiful blue gem that is quiet and pitiful. Its blue glow creates a swinging demonic charm. Always calm, smarter than anyone, I thought the sapphire would be perfect for a beautiful Marha.... I was really going to make it a surprise next time I saw you. I had to say this is the way you're gonna hear it."
From across the terminal, I hear voiceless voices.
For a while, I haven't heard back.
Looks like he's hiding a desperately overflowing emotion.
'... that, thank you. I'm looking forward to finishing the ring. "
"I'll make the best. And can't you come to us next week or someplace else next week? I want to introduce myself to my parents. We're getting engaged, so that's what we need. I'll give you the ring then."
'I'll see what I can do. How many round-trip days does it take to get there? It looks like scheduling is gonna be difficult. "
"I'll use the plane to pick you up. I can go back and forth in a day, so if I can free up my schedule for a whole day, I'll be fine."
'Then I'll see what I can do. Be sure to go.'
"I'll look forward to it. Adjust the date next time."
Finish communication.
Right, did you get all the gems?
"Finish your design now"
I'm going to my desk.
When carrying out assassinations, they are often captured using the faces of artists and designers, and there is sufficient knowledge and skill in these designs.
Finish and show off the design that will bring their charm to life.
◇
Then a week later, my mother arrived with the jewels and misrills that she had missed out on Orna's scheduled flight, which she was contracting.
Take it and move on to the workshop you built for work.
"I don't think it's funny to watch you both make ornaments."
"I'm so curious!
"Yes, I'm excited"
Tart and Dia said they wanted to take a tour, so make them like it.
The jewellery itself will be processed first.
Some gems are beautiful even as they are, but diamonds and the like only shine when processed.
In fact, in the pre-reincarnation world, the four diamonds, Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald were called the four greatest gems. But diamonds are very low value in this world.
And the three Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald are only recognized for value for less than 5% of their specialties based on overall excavation volume, and the remaining 95% may not be rated very well.
"Shall we start with the sapphire?"
"This isn't a specialty, is it? Are you sure you want this stone?
That's Dia.
I spotted that it was only a first-class product, not a specialty product in one shot.
"Oh, I don't mind. Soon it will be a specialty."
The difference between premium and first-class items in sapphires is the intensity of blue and the absence of dirt on the inside.
Blue is mostly too light on unprocessed sapphires, and there is often dirt on the inside. However, only 5% of the total has enough blue intensity and sapphires without impurities are mined.
For this reason, only 5% of them are real sapphires and the rest are seen as less valuable stones.
And this time the stone I was able to prepare is pale in colour and lacks elegance. And slightly but with mixed impurities.
If you wear this as it is, you will be ridiculed when weak aristocrats who cannot buy the real thing in the aristocratic society are wearing figurines for the sake of looks.
However, if even first-class products are processed, they will be transformed into premium products.
"[Precision Flame]"
It is the magic of the flame that has been improved so that you can target the pinpoint.
Carry out the heating treatment with that flame.
Sapphires can cause chemical reactions if heated at as high as 1600 degrees.
Its chemical reactions make it lighter and darker in color compared to specialty products, and it can remove dirt from the inside.
Of course, you can't just thicken it.
Aim for the intensity that can attract the most pitiful blue of sapphires.
Complete with dirt magic cheats for finishing.
"What do you say, Dia? It would have been a specialty."
"Yeah, this elegant blue is a specialty. Wow, that's magical."
"I'm using magic. Well, you don't have to use magic."
"Besides, this is the finest shaking blue. I've never seen a clear rocking blue so far."
"You know very well. Yes, the shaking blue."
And there was another obsession.
The beauty of the sapphire is not only the brilliance of blue.
Silk inclusion that looks like a silk thread behind a sapphire, which rocks the blue glow.
Sapphire specialties are not only dark blue, but also subject to shaking blue glow.
Typically, silk inclusion disappears after a heating process. Because the only identity of silk inclusion is a thin needle-shaped rutile, which melts with high heat.
It was therefore called a real sapphire, where even in the pre-reincarnation world there was no need for heating treatment, something that was dark blue in its natural state and had no dirt in it, could be multiplied by several values.
Even with science and technology, you can't create only swinging blue. Therefore, real sapphires rarely go on the market with super rare goods per se.
But I can use a cheat called magic. Talk about just having to magically insert rutiles after the heating treatment.
I can calculate and create the best swinging blue to add later.
"It's a very nice blue gem. You call this a sapphire."
"Yeah, I am. But it's not just a sapphire. Because even I've never seen such a brilliant sapphire. You're a national treasure."
"Unlike the natural one, it turned out to be the best because I processed it perfectly"
The difference between natural and processed products, that it can create the ideal shape.
It was only because it was pale blue that I could make the ideal blue by darkening it, and thus I could make a computationally swinging blue.
With technology, processed products can outperform natural products. Without a doubt, this sapphire is the most beautiful sapphire in this world.
"That concludes the sapphire. Diamond's next. Stay away from me because it's dangerous."
Chant new magic.
The water blows out of your fingertips about ten centimeters and it is fixed. The water carries powder while circulating super fast.
"Can you tell me about that magic?
"The name is [Water Blade], mix and circulate diamond powder in ultra-high pressure water flow. Lightly cleave any famous sword with water pressure and diamond hardness. Right... throw me a failed gun on the edge of the workshop"
"Uh, yes"
Dia throws a gun at me.
Its material is an alloy centered on iron. I slashed it in the air and showed it.
It is a surreal sight that iron can be slashed without showing any resistance like butter.
"That would be an awesome cut."
"You're a mess. It."
"Diamonds can't be processed without something like this. I use diamonds to process diamonds more than I can get harder metal than diamonds"
Extremely sensible judgment.
Let's get to work.
There was a crisp diamond in front of me.
It is considered a second-rate gem in this world, and it is slashed many times with a [water blade].
This [water blade] cleaves even the hardest diamonds.
"Master Lugg, it's amazing."
"You can't see your hands anymore, how many times the hell do you slay them"
I ran the blade dozens of times in extreme concentration.
And finally it's done.
Diamond cut...... finished with the most famous and royal round brilliant cut of them all.
When it comes to diamonds, the first thing everyone can think of.
An aggregation that has been reached for hundreds of years in an effort to make people look the most beautiful of diamonds. I believe this is the end point in the finished form. In fact, no more beautiful cuts have been produced in hundreds of years.
Bringing such a thing out into this world can be described as against the rules, but for Dia's sake, let's also do against the rules.
"Done."
"Damn, this is the diamond. I can't believe it."
"It's beautiful, I'm in love"
The two girls are fascinated by the beauty of diamonds.
"This is the true diamond charm. If the diamond stays intact, it won't shine. But it's up to the cut to show so much brilliance."
Since the birth of Diamond Cut, the beauty that reigns as King of Gems is not Dada.
"... you're just tired. Heating the sapphire, cutting the diamonds, if done, use the nerves. Let's take a break from Emerald."
Both were very challenging tasks.
A few mistakes damage the gem's charm by the time it is deadly.
"I was just wondering, if this diamond sells, would it cost you a great price? It's so beautiful. Yet diamonds are undervalued in the market, so the purchase value is very low, and I think it makes a lot of money."
"Ha, I've never seen such a lovely gem. Absolutely, I think you want nobles and rich people."
I laugh.
"I guess, with diamonds as a commodity, Orna can control the jewellery industry"
That's the kind of future I see.
In fact, in our world, diamond-righted jewelers have taken control of the industry.
Diamonds are so much.
"You don't seem willing to put it that way. Even though it's perfect for Orna's customer base."
"You should do it if you think only about business. But I want Diamond to be worn only by Dia."
Dia is the only person in this world who wears a diamond glow.
Of course, one day someone will get the technology for diamond cutting, but until then, it will shine just for Dia.
That's my wish.
"... Lug sometimes says something very disturbing."
"You don't like that?
"Yeah, great."
Dia hugs me.
That it was worth the effort.
Well, let's just say we finish the rest of the work, too. And complete the best ring.
