Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

"Ef. I need to talk to you about something tonight... okay?"

"... oh."

I'm sure the Father knows what I'm hearing. It leaves a little time for me to nod.

“Do you guys always travel like this?”

"What do you mean?"

Efu asks me a question.

“There's no other reason. When we travel, I'm wondering if it's possible for us to have such a calm atmosphere.”

If it's an adventurer's party, it's probably similar.

"Is that so..."

"If you're always uptight, you'll get tired." That said, it is not always quite clear.

I'll do it when I have to. Other than that, there will be a lot of feelings that the basics are quite clear. Rather, parties that cannot do that are often disbanded sooner rather than later. The party keeps me nervous, so I can't breathe. "

"Is that what it is?"

"Not all parties are the same, but I think it's similar everywhere."

"After all, people like us are heterogeneous."

"Well... I don't think that's normal."

"...... if...... we were on a different path...... no, forget it."

Even if his mouth slipped, Efraim reacted unusually.

You can't feel normal when you're in a group full of killers like Efraim.

If... if the Dark Elves were on a different path, rather than playing the role of Black Dog, would they have been able to spend the same time? Was he normal?

It is only natural to think that way.

But if they hadn't taken on the role of Black Dog, the Dark Elves would have disappeared in the first place. The women who survived the Devil King's torment had no other choice.

Maybe Efu wants to take a carefree journey, just like us. It's not a mission...

But it's the same as denying everything we've ever built as black dogs.

It seems that she regrets that she put out such words. Effe said he was proud of being a black dog, and he was not mourning the way of life of a black dog. I just imagined that there was another way of life.

"If that's what the Effe said, I'll do what I didn't hear." But... isn't our journey abandoned? "

"... that's right. Sometimes it might not be bad to travel like this."

Efe made a cup of tea in his hand, and then looked outside at the rain without saying anything.

Finish the pause and continue processing the aggregate.

It looks like it's roughly in shape.

The prototype of the pattern we were making was made of a rough and rough shape, without any details. Therefore, I don't know the feeling of using it firmly, but I can confirm whether I can use it or not.

The pattern that Nil made was the "J" type that Effe taught me, and the pattern that Pilte made was the "O" type with the motif of Kunai. I made it in the shape of a sphere attached to the handle. And what Tetra made for me was something with a "T" shape on the handle, like a hook taught to me by Eff.

How about that?

Ultimately, Nil is talking about how to use it, so when I ask how each one feels...

"I wonder if the best thing is the one that Tetra-san made for me."

It seems that the "T" type product is good for the most sense of use.

Huh?! Did I make it?!

"Yes, I felt familiar with the first one.

It would be even better if the protruding part was made a little shorter, and the fingers were gently diverted to make it easier to catch. ”

When Nil said that, Tetra gladly put her hands together.

When it comes to aggregate, unlike wood, even if it is just made into a messy shape, it is a very difficult task to sharpen. You need strength, and you need to have dexterity in your hands, and you can't even make simple shapes without getting used to them.

However, whether Tetra was originally dexterous, she was able to create the right shape from the beginning. Besides, whether you have guts or not, you seem to have a personality that allows you to work enthusiastically. Even if we are training, we can say that it is just a job, we have finished the work firmly with tricks and tricks.

Maybe Tetra has a job like this.

"Well then, there's time until dinner, so try finishing it in a way that Nil thinks is good." I'll make some blades. "

Got it.

As for the final finish, Nil would be better to make it to suit her body, so I decided to leave the handle completely to her, and I will work on making the blade.

“How do you make a blade?”

Tetra is curious to come near me and ask.

If it's a corner, why don't you try making Tetra as well?

Are you okay?!

"Iron is the material to be used, and if it fails, you just have to crush it."

I'd like to try!

"Okay. Let's try that."

Yes!

As Nil and I always do, we just make a mold and pour the molten iron into it to harden it, but it's the first time for Tetra, and it looks pretty interesting.

If you want to make a solid weapon, it is better to put the core part inside and use a strong blade that is difficult to break, but I will not do it this time. If that happens, it will be too much work, and Nil herself doesn't want that much quality.

When that happens, all you have to do is make a mold and pour the iron in, so the work is over.

Once I showed it to Tetra, it was not awkward, but it was a good thing.

"After that, just take out the cold blade, sharpen it, and stand it up."

Surprisingly few processes, right?

"There's no problem even if it's not durable this time."

When it comes to weapons that we use in the main, we need more processes, such as having a core inside, tapping it, and making it harder.

I've been showing you how to make a weapon several times, but I'm going to spend days building one. "

For days?!

"Yeah, and even if you take days to make it, if you're not convinced, you can start over."

"Well, that makes me sad."

"Nevertheless, if you are going to make something that you can understand, I will try again and again." I guess they call them craftsmen. "

The sword was probably the strongest part of it. I trained it over and over again, and it was like a cluttered weapon, armor, and so on. A few days is often not enough.

I don't have the skills to do that, so I won't hit the main weapon.

“That's a lot of hard technology.”

“That's what I mean. How did you do?”

“Yes! It was so much fun!”

“Hahaha, if this feels like fun, maybe it's a good time to make something.”

“Is it your job to make something…?”

"It's not just about weapons and armor." There are a lot of jobs in the world, and there are a lot of jobs that make things. It means that it may be suitable for such a job. "

You mean the craftsman?

"I don't think it's necessary to narrow down to craftsmen, but there may be a way to do that."

"Are you an artisan...?"

Tetra herself will be wondering why she is going after this journey has ended and she has reached the next city.

If you want to do the job as usual, we don't want to say it, but if you want to do a different job, I'd like to help as much as we can.

"Is there a job that I can do...?"

“Technology is something we learn through experience, so everyone is a beginner at first.”

"But...... I......"

I think she has had a really hard time in her life so far. The fact that you became the perpetrator and killed someone doesn't go away, and even if Heine and the others cut you off, you won't be able to escape that guilt for the rest of your life.

When such emotions occur, I think that I can't live a normal life by doing a normal job.

In a sense, it can be said to be true.

Everyone is scared to spend time with such a terrible opponent, and there are few people who dare to embark on the danger from themselves.

Of course, if Tetra does not tell the opponent about the experience from herself, the opponent will not know about it. However, it is normal to think that if at this age there is not one fleshly relative, there is some reason. Above all, when Tetra thinks of herself as a… person, it can be passed on to others.

That way, even if there are few workplaces that accept people like Tetra who don't have parents or a home, there are fewer people who accept them.

For example, as I was, it's hard, but it's very unlikely that it will happen if someone calls out to me to try to work.

Still.....

"Are you going to give up before you do it?"

"Ngh..."

"Heine and Pilte cut me off from Tetra, didn't they?" And I mean, I thought I wanted you to live freely from now on... but will Tetra give up on herself? "

Give up!

Tetra notices that her voice was loud, and she stops speaking.

“I'm not giving up.”

"Then I don't think I have time to say..."

I know because I've had similar experiences.

No matter what past there is, if you want to live, you have to carry that past and step out. I know what it's like to think that you're... There will always be such a feeling in your heart for a long time to come. Perhaps the urn won't go away until he dies.

Even so, if you want to live, you have to think of it as yourself.

This world is still a good one. There is no internet, and if there is a certain distance, people who know about Tetra will almost zero. A new city, a new start.

Tetra would be different if someone of her roots were to start over, no matter where they started.

"If I have time to think about myself, shouldn't I think about how to get myself accepted?"

"Ngh!!"

Tetra may be feeling the pain of my words.

You know that, because Tetra herself has always struggled without being told by others.

But I've been down that road once. That's why I know.

I don't know if I could have done that. No, I don't think I could have done it. So I was attracted to and immersed in a new world called Van der Ju. That's why I'm not such a great person.

But that's why I think I should say something to Tetra.

"Sinya-san is right."

"Huh?!"

Tetra shouted, so I was wondering if you were listening, or if you were listening from the beginning… Piltee comes into the story.

“If you have time to humiliate yourself, you should devote that time to your future efforts to live freely.”

"Piltee-san......"

“My mom and I decided to split up because we felt it was worth it. If this had been a hopeless person, neither I nor your mother would have cut it off and thought about it.

Of course, whether we were sick or dying, we weren't going to tell Sinya about it. ”

………………

“But that didn't happen. That's because Tetra has done something so far. That's what my mother and I believed... once again.

Is Tetra going to waste it again? "

Pilte and Heine, who first believed in Tetra, left knowing that they were the enemy's enemies, and only believed again, were betrayed and lost two of their men.

They say they believe in Tetra three times.

I may have done something unforgivable, but then I learned about Tetra's behavior and believed it was sincere.

Tetra can't understand how great this is, how full of compassion.

"...... I......"

Tears overflowed from Tetra's eyes.

"Are you sure... that I... am free to live...?"

Yeah.

From behind Tetra, Heine appears and responds to Tetra's words.

“We were going to do that from the beginning, and we asked Cynthia and the others for help. If you don't, you won't know what we're moving for.”

"Ugh... ugh..."

I think Tetra knew how Heine and Pilate felt. But I don't know if I really should do it, and I think I've been worried about what I should do in my heart.

Of course, at the time of her rescue, she had no choice but to live a hard life.

I think it was unbearable for Tetra, who knew the life of the nobility, to sell herself and earn a little money. The life should have cut her heart off a lot.

You still have to live. That's a very hard thing to do. I feel much easier to die.

The situation was different, but I knew it many times because I felt it would be easier for me to die.

When I'm in such a state of mind, I'm very afraid to look forward and think about the future.

Heine and Pilte told Tetra that she could imagine a bright future, or reach out to her to seize it.

Even though it's not about me, my eyes are getting hot.

"It's okay, Tetra can do it." You've been trying so hard. Compared to that, living free from here is not a big deal. ”

“That's right, and there are people here who are like free-living representatives.”

Pilte turns his attention to me and Slatan.

Well... it's a lot of difficult journeys, and I have a purpose, but I can't deny that I do what I like and live as I want. It was similar to the Surakutan.

"I doubt we'll be able to help you, but I'll help you and Surakutan."

"Ladies and gentlemen... uuuu..."

Eventually, Tetra couldn't connect her words, and she was just shedding tears.

I don't know what choice she will make from now on, or what life she will live. I don't know... but I just wish you luck in that life.

Alright then, let's follow up.

As Tetra stops crying, she starts working on it.

It was Tetra who snorted and snorted many times, but I think I can keep working.

"Remove the poured iron from the mold, cut out the burr and the hot tub, and shape it to a certain extent. You don't have to sharpen the blade yet, so you don't have to sharpen it."

”Sung... sung... hah...”

Tetra's eyes are serious, though her voice is shaking as she just stopped crying. In order to live freely from now on, you will be daring to absorb any matter and use it as experience. It's a good trend.

"Look, I don't have time to cry."

"... yes!"

Because Tetra is originally dexterous and has good guidelines, she can do most things once she is taught. Naturally, the technical thing is that it has no experience and has somehow taken shape, but it is still a great thing. If you look at it with a big eye, you can do anything that moves your hands more than people can do.

“How about this?”

"Yeah. Sounds good.

Next, attach this to the pattern that Nil has set up... "

It is completed by receiving the broken handle from Nil, sandwiching the metal part together and winding the handle thread. I am using a patterned yarn because it is a prototype now, but it can be fixed in other ways, so it may eventually take a different shape. I'm going to change that area by trial and error.

"First of all, it's the usual blade as usual." It's double-edged, linear. "

When I handed it to Nil, I immediately checked the weight and checked the catch, and Nil was rolling the knife in his hand.

"Is the weight just a little heavier than the previous one?... but it's better this way." It could be a little heavier. ”

Let's check the strength.

When I create something magical with a tree, Nil nods and throws a prototype that doesn't have a standing blade.

Boom! Boom!

Nil's prototype is not standing because of the blade, but because it is in the shape of a knife, it is pierced by a tree.

Gah!

Pilates will extract it immediately and bring you a prototype.

"Hmm... is the intensity subtle after all?"

The tip of the prototype is slightly bent.

How's the shape?

"There's nothing wrong with throwing it normally, but..."

“The point is when you use the catch to throw it.”

Yes.

Give Nil another prototype.

Hah!

Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!

When Nil hooked his finger on the handle and flyed the prototype with centrifugal force, it eventually hit, but it didn't stick, and it seemed that it hit at a strange angle, and the blade part completely bent.

"This is... no good."
