Transition to Another World, Landmines Included

075 Combat Enhancement Operations (1)

Returning to the city, sell the oak in the guild as usual. However, I don't mind the possession, so I sold six today.

I'm going to Mr. Gantz's weapons store with that leg.

"Hello ~"

"Welcome"

That's what he said and welcomed me to his aunt, who was past the middle age he first saw.

Mr. Gantz was always the store number when I got here, did you hire the store number? You'll have Tommy's guidance.

"Ah, Mr. Civil."

And I thought, apparently, Toya knew him.

When I asked him with my gaze, he told me, "Mr. Gantz's wife".

I see, were you married? Well, at that age, are you usually married? I also have a quorum.

"Mr. Gantz, are you okay now? I need to talk to you."

"Are you my husband? Wait a minute, I'll call you."

Mr. Sybil bows his head gently to us and falls back.

"Mr. Gantz, you were married."

"Yeah, actually, I found out before. Looks like we're close, huh?

According to Toya, his wife has a store number when Mr. Gantz is working in the back, so it just so happens that we didn't meet.

Then waiting. For the time being, Mr. Gantz came out of the back wiping his face with a cloth.

"Whoa, you guys. What's your day?

"I'm sorry I'm at work. Look after Nao's spear and Hulka and Yuki's weapon."

"Hmm? Nao bought it last time, didn't he? Oh, now your lady's using it."

"Because I had magic. I think it's good with the same guy, is there?

"Yellow iron and pseudo-iron wood spears, right? Wait a minute."

That's what I said and got out of the back is the same spear Natsuki has. Besides, everything from the tip to the pattern is monochromatic.

"This is the same guy the lady has. So, it looks like black iron at first sight, but it's a spear made of magic iron. Strong and sharp, huh?

If you meet with Yellow Iron, it seems that Demon Iron makes as much difference as it is intact and lacks Yellow Iron.

Because of this, I let you have it.

"Heavy! I can't do this a little bit!

"It would be a good weapon if I could handle it..."

The Magic Iron itself does not differ much in weight from the Yellow Iron, but it seems to be heavier because it uses Magic Iron up to the pattern.

By the way, roughly five times the price. It is also not possible on a budget basis.

"If it's just the tip of the ear, you can buy it."

"Whoever uses this level of spear doesn't have a problem with weighing this much. If it's about goblin, just slap it with this pattern and it'll smash your head!

With this weight and hardness, and the length of the pattern, I would certainly just shake it and lightly crush about the goblin skull.

In the future, you can consider it if I'm stronger, but now let's be honest and pick a yellow iron spear. Six million yen spears for the price, that's a national treasure level. This way, it's practical.

"Next, Hulka, is that your weapon? Isn't it just the bow?

"The only thing I can use is a bow, but I wanted a weapon that I could use when I was approached."

"Is there hope?

"Nothing in particular...... like the Spike Sword Rapier?

"Rapier the Spike Sword? You don't usually use it, do you? I think we're in the way."

Saying so, the sword Mr. Gantz brought is a thin, long, stubborn object.

Its length is as long as 1 metre and it is quite heavy.

At least with this on, it will be difficult to climb a tree as easily as it is now, and it is likely to get in the way when using a bow.

"Sure, this is tough as a spare weapon. It's very heavy."

"You know, as far as I'm concerned, a short sword about the same length would be appropriate."

The next sword is about 50cm even if the patterned parts are combined. As long as this is the case, it's not going to get in the way as much, even if it's hanging on my hips.

Hulka is also nodding with that sword in his hand and gently shaking it or hitting it on his hips.

"Realistically, is that about it?"

"If Hulka can fight, some weapons on his fists, but he can't, can he? I don't want to disturb the knife, but I can't use it against demons."

"Then can you show me a lot of stuff around here?

When Hulka said so, Mr. Gantz smiled bitterly and put his head on.

"Uh, I'm sorry to recommend it, but I don't have an inventory of the yellow iron spear-level stuff from earlier. It's expensive, but that's not for spare weapons, is it? I have it now. It would be too cheap."

Mr. Ganz brought it from the store for a rush out made of regular iron, which is also fairly cheap at hundreds of rare. No matter how many spare weapons, there will be no weapons of this level.

"Then, is it an order"

"Ooh. - Right, you were Tommy's friend, weren't you? What would make him practice like that? Still not at the level of arranging it in the store, but you can take it just for the cost of the ingredients, right? At least you can make a better weapon than the material cost?

Tommy now, he can't beat Mr. Gantz just because he uses the same material.

It is suggested that the shortfall should be compensated by using better materials, and that it should not be made only at actual cost.

As far as we're concerned, we get a lot of weapons for about the price, and as far as Mr. Gantz is concerned, the cost of the materials used to train Tommy floats. It is a proposal that is beneficial to both.

"Well, let me ask you a favor"

"Whoa, I'll call you when I get to the partition, just give me a minute. So, what about your little lady?

That's what Mr. Ganz looks at Yuki, but Yuki asked with a slightly troubled look.

"I thought it was a knife, but isn't it useful to be a demon opponent?

"It's hard. If it's a knife, cut it up even and aim for a blood loss death or a steep point...... Anyway, if you're a demon, you can't even get a blade to your heart if you poke your heart at it, right?

It would feel like killing an elephant with a knife.

I don't know where the elephant's heart is, but I do stab a knife and it's not going to reach me, and I'm going to be tough on targeting the carotid artery in my neck.

"Well, if you're the type like me, what do you suggest?

"Lady, I can't believe it. Flail... if you have the strength and weight, you have the hammer, the hammer spear, Paul Axe."

Basically, you're the type of weapon that beats with centrifugal force.

I've heard that flails, morningstars, and weapons around there can do damage over thick armor, even if they don't have much power. If you think about it that way, maybe it's for Yuki.

Occasionally in games or something, there's a situation where a small character wields a big weapon like a battle hammer, but even if there was actually [muscle boost], there's nothing you can do without a counterweight.

That is what Mr Ganz says is impossible 'without weighing heavily'.

"Uh-huh, Flail... not cute"

"Hey, you don't want cuteness in battle! If melee isn't the main thing, there are daggers like Hulka..."

"Ah. Me, for once, maybe magic is the main thing?

Mr. Gantz bites Yuki, who twisted his neck and said that.

"What's" maybe "! You're licking the wizard with that iron stick!? Even the Mage staff have it!

Mage Stuff is a wand that helps activate magic, and it seems that having it can increase the power of magic, or if it is somewhat, can hit and attack enemies.

However, if you hit him too hard, he won't be able to use it in such a way that he would recieve an oak attack like he did today, as his function as a mage staff seems to be compromised. In the first place, it seems to be mostly made of wood, so I can't expect strength like iron bars.

"You don't have Mage Stuff here?

"It's not for us. I'll introduce you to a store I know if I have to. However, if you can fight with that iron bar, you might want to buy an activator for the ring and deal with another weapon. Pretty expensive though."

There seems to be a variety of activators like rings, necklaces, etc. as objects that have the same effect as mage staff, but they all have good prices.

Since regular mage staff is used by beginners to advanced users, and other activators are used by intermediates and above, is that just the kind of pricing, and the effect is that it is worth the price?

"Then I guess I'll ask Tommy too. Mr. Gantz, good?

"Oh. It would be nice to have him trained, too. I need you to wait for a while until we can separate his work."

"Okay."

I dropped off Mr. Gantz, who said so and walked into the back of the store, and we sat on the back seat that was in the corner of the store.

"In the meantime, you're going to get a lot of stuff."

"Right. I need dagger training but... Toya and Natsuki, please?

"Oops. I'll take care of swordsmanship."

"I hope my knowledge helps"

"Um, let Tommy make something like that"

After waiting about 30 minutes to talk like that, Mr. Gantz took me out and Tommy came out.

Mr. Gantz sat at the counter and only Tommy came over here and lowered his head with a pepper.

"Hello, you waved yesterday. You want me to build a weapon?

"Yeah. He's a match of interest. I want you to build me and Yuki's dagger."

"When you think about the use, it's good to be sturdy. Short knife...... can I have a single blade?

If what Natsuki can be taught is martial arts with a small knife, Yuki is right, and maybe that is certainly better.

"Is it like a ruggedness priority sidewalk...... what would be the sharpness, ruggedness, weight, priority?

"I'm not saying it's maintenance-free because it's something I use during my adventures, but I have a problem with things that I can't use unless I take care of them every time."

"I'd like some sharpness, but is sturdiness a priority? Because in case it breaks, you're going to die. The weight is acceptable to some extent. There's also [muscle enhancement]."

"I see...... can I let you do whatever you want?

"If you meet the conditions. I don't have a problem with it being too hard to use because of my hobby."

Yes, Hulka said, Tommy grinned and nodded happily.

"Okay! So, what's the budget?

"Right... within 100 pieces of gold per coin, 2 pieces"

When Hulka says that and looks at Mr. Gantz, he nods like he says, Copy that.

"How long can I have the delivery date?

"It's better early, but I'm having trouble with cluelessness, so how about a week?

He nods when he looks at Mr. Gantz again. Tommy is nodding too, so it looks ok.

Plus, it's good to pay for the delivery of the goods, and Tommy, who stays at the same inn, decides to let us know when possible.

And we looked at some large knives for demolition in addition to my spears, bought them, and then left the store.
