"I came to order Meg's weapons today."

"Oh, Meg? I see, I finally have my weapon!"

Gil said so, and Maimet nodded happily many times after she opened her eyes a little.It kind of lights up. But the moment I open my eyes, it looks like an honest, vicious criminal. Impressive!

Well, first of all, it's a small knife.

"Yeah, I think so too."

Mr Maimet walks away from me a little and looks at me with his eyes closed.That's all I can handle, I know.

"Or even a slender sword....."

"No, I don't think I can handle the sword very much.It's just a blade that makes me thrill. "

I immediately said no to the words I was told.'Cause! I'm gonna spam my hands out of my sheath, me!I'm confident that I won't be able to do anything else soon!

"But when you need a small knife, there's nothing to intimidate you.I think it would be better if you wore something that would tell you more about weapons.Look, Meg is going to be more and more of a pimp.You can have as many bugs as you want. "

Hmm.

Oh, yeah. Basically, I can handle it with magic, so you don't have to have a weapon.No, but just because you have a weapon means you can be alert.That's a lot less people who want to do weird things.It's no use trying not to hurt someone in vain.

Of course I won't be late!I can fight that much now!

Nevertheless, I can't think of any other weapon that I can handle.If it's a flying tool, I feel like I can handle it with magic aids, but after all, it will become a weapon with magic.It is also a weapon to compensate for weaknesses, so it is preferable to treat it without the need for magic.

Whips like Kai only have the confidence to get tangled up in themselves, and it's harder for people who are too special to handle them.Light and powerless, can I use a weapon?

"I knew it, Rapier. But I'm not even sure I can handle it."

"I think Rapier is best for you, too.It certainly doesn't seem to be powerful. "

I'm sorry for being so impotent. I really...! That's why he's going to do it!I'm sure they tend to think that.But I'm still working on my training.It's just unfortunate that the muscles are difficult to attach.

"The sword alone is heavy.I wish it were thinner and lighter.... "

"Better than Rapier? That's a tough one."

"That's right! Hah, I wonder if I can handle it when I get older?"

You're really small compared to your age, me.You've grown considerably since the time of growth.She's about 140cm tall.Well, a few years from now, it's going to be a little bigger and nice buddy.If I had my father's genes, I'd be taller.I haven't given up yet.

"No, it's not that hard, Gil.Hey, why don't you just specialize in poking?Then I can do it lighter. The ability to kill is reduced, and the opponent's attack cannot be prevented by a sword... depending on where it hits, it can inflict fatal wounds and make up for defenses.Even Meg, I think we can beat them if we train them. "

"... it might be good. Meg has the accuracy and speed of his attacks.But can you make a sword lighter than Rapier? "

A thrust. I think I saw a little hope.The weapons craftsman's thinking is amazing. Speaking of which, there was a competition called fencing in my previous life.It may resemble that.

Unfortunately, it was a competition that I didn't touch at all, so I only know how to use a thin and supple sword.Knowledge of the past life doesn't help me at these times. It's a bump.

"Hmm, who do you think I am?The point is, I only need a blade on the tip of my sword.Then I'm worried about the strength if there is no suppleness.Maybe the material is better that way than that. Or.... "

Mr Maimet went to the store while talking to herself about the bumps.I've seen that condition several times.Yes, it's work mode. He gets into his own world when he concentrates.

Ortus craftsmen are also used to dealing with similar people.Me and Gil stepped into the shop after Maimet.

While Mr. Maimet was on his own, we decided to examine the small knife, which was the original purpose.Even if a personal sword was to be made, Gil told me that a small knife is a versatile tool that can be used in a variety of situations, so I should have it.Sure, I think you all have knives.

"Sharpness is important. You may think at first that the cut is too scary, but even if you get injured, the cut knife is easier to heal.It's harder to heal an injury with a bad knife. "

"I see!"

It is easier for the wound to stick when it is cut with spa.I might know that. But I don't want to get hurt, so I have to be careful with it.I'm thrilled. Or am I supposed to hold a weapon like this?

Gil selects some candidates and I actually take them in and out of the knife.I hope you choose the shape and material of the pattern and the one that you feel comfortable with your hands.Since there is no difference in performance, I decided to try it with ease.

"I think this is it. The pattern is thin, so I feel like I can hold it tight."

"I see.... I'm sure Meg's hands are small."

When I picked this up and lifted the knife, Gil gently murmured with his hands.It would simply be to check the size feeling... but they took my hand...!

No, no, what are you embarrassed about now, me?You walked with your hands tied together.When I was a child.

Oh? Speaking of which, I wonder how long I haven't been in touch with Gil.It's over gloves, but I haven't felt Gil's warm body temperature in a long time, and something warm spreads to my heart.I haven't felt this warmth in a long time.

Not just Gil, I don't feel like I've been in much contact with people lately.Ah, Saura and Maryla are hug monsters, so it's a separate frame.Fathers and fathers caress their heads casually, but they don't get to see each other in the first place.

You liked your skin so much, you couldn't help but notice.I wonder if this is growth.I feel a little lonely. I'm embarrassed and I can't do what I did before.

"Ah, uh, Mr. Gill."

"... oh, sorry."

Phew, I noticed that my hand was still being held, and I called out.Gil raised his face as if he were happy and immediately took off my knife and let go of my hand.I feel kind of lonely.

"Meg's hands are still small, but I realized they've grown a lot."

I wonder if my parents' eyes made me feel deeply emotional.I unexpectedly stared at my hand.... yeah, it's definitely getting bigger.When did you start using adult dishes instead of children's dishes?

Yeah, well, I'm growing up too.

I see.

Gil soothed her eyes when I put my hand on her hips and deliberately swollen her cheeks.Somehow, it was going to be a strange atmosphere.I wanted to change my mood, so I made a bright voice.

Suddenly Gil's hand reached into my head.It was a very natural flow and I thought I could be caressed separately.But why?

My body trembled on its own.

At that moment, Gil stopped his hand.And then I can pull my hand right in.

What's Mr. Gill looking like now?I can't look up because I'm kind of scared.I don't know what this feeling is.I wonder why I'm afraid.

I never thought I'd be afraid of Gil.

"All right, here we go. Gil, Meg, come here."

At that time, I heard Mr. Maimet calling for us.Apparently I've come up with an idea.Unlike me, who couldn't move right away, Gil was called and immediately headed for Maimet.A few seconds later, I followed Gil on.

"I'll definitely make the perfect weapon for Meg.I'm measuring, so give me a jig. "

"Yes"

Mr. Maimet seems to be having fun with the candle.I'm sure you're excited about a new weapon you've never made.I'm happy, and I'm looking forward to it.I'm looking forward to it...

"Maimet, may I see the sword in the back?"

"Whoa, look what you want! I'll make it cheaper."

When I looked at Gil's back as he walked away from the store, my chest became painful.

Did I do something terrible?Did you hurt Mr. Gill?

I didn't mean to refuse.I was rather happy to be caressed for the first time in a long time.And yet, why did I tremble?It's about me, but I can't understand it.

Were you scared? Really? Yeah, it can't be.Because it's Gil. I shouldn't have been afraid of Gil.Yeah, I wasn't scared.

I'm nervous. Yeah, I think I'm nervous.It's been too long since I've been able to stroke my head, and I'm nervous.

I was convinced. Then you'll be all right next time, won't you?I thought so, but when I remembered earlier, I didn't feel confident that I would be okay.I really don't know why.

"That's it. You'll have to adjust it a few times until the weapon is ready.After all, it's Meg's first weapon. "

How much time have you had to think vaguely?I answered with a smile, "I understand," said Maimet.To a certain extent, they will contact Ortus when it takes shape.

"Gil, can I talk to you for a second? It's about the money."

As soon as Maimet called out to the back of the shop, Gil came back.I can't seem to see my face, and I unexpectedly lower my gaze.

"Oh, just give me a rough estimate.Send it to Ortus later. "

"Oh, thank goodness. It's quite expensive, but it's Meg's weapon.Let me do my best.Besides, I'll give you the edge. "

"I appreciate that. I asked for the rest, Maimet."

I could hardly raise my face while listening to the conversation between the two over my head.I wonder what really happened.That's weird. Not like me.

After leaving the store, we walked in silence for a while.It was Gil who broke the awkward silence.

"Do you want to eat something before you go back to Ortus?Or do you want to eat in Ortus? "

With the same kind voice as usual, I finally looked up at Gil's face.The bare face hidden behind the hood and mask can't be read well now.If you were always hiding, you'd know.

"Chio, I might want to eat my sister's dinner."

I answer with a smile. I'm not sure I was laughing properly.

We replied to Gil and returned to Ortus without saying a word.So I finally felt my shoulders relaxed, and I thought,

Gil said you should keep your distance for a little while.
