Chapter 045: The new equipment is now the favourite

Translator: Tseirp

 

3 months would soon pass since that exercise with Lumina-san and the girls.

I have been diving into the labyrinth, participating in the Knight Corp’s barbeque convention formally called an exercise as the purification personnel, and have been caught in the scramble to have me participate in their exercises.

Thanks to that, I now have a strange feeling of having a mournful heart instead of a fearful heart towards the terrestrial monsters.

Thankfully, nobody aside from the Knight Corps know about this so I didn’t get a new nickname like ‘Repulsive Eater’.

Thanks to that, I’ve been able to talk informally with the members from the Knight Corps.

As expected, everybody’s feelings loosens up during meal times. Wait, even in my previous life, I think I was good at sealing many business deals during lunch as well, so maybe there is some truth in this?

As I was thinking about such things, I arrived at the smithy.

That’s right. I was told that my equipment had been completed.

 

It felt like Grand-san and Toretto-san had completely taken over the smithy as the owner, but somehow the original owner of the workshop seemed happy about it.

Well that’s what happens when you have the prestige, but watching the 2 of them makes others want to work harder, together with the chance to memorize new techniques and, even though they are getting old, the appeal of their amazing technique never changes.

Even though normally he is also in the position to teach, for him to believe that this is a chance opportunity, I admire the flexible thinking of the workshop’s owner.

Because the average sales wouldn’t increase, there are some who would stubbornly reject letting them use the workshop.

 

Currently, I was stiff from astonishment looking at the equipment made by the 2 of them.

 

The equipment in front of my eyes were beyond my expectations, to the extent that I looked twice. I trusted the 2 of them and left all the decisions up to them. Instead of my amateur opinion, I believed in that insight that seemed like they understood me.

 

“Fofofo. Hey, how is it? Amazing right? Apart from preventing miasma and having the ability to regulate body temperature, it also has the effect of masking your magical power and presence. Of course, it is also resistant to blades and magical attacks.”

“Kukuku. Gave you a surprise right? This can become hard when magical power is channelled into it. In addition, it can aid spells and can be used as a booster. If you channel magical power through it, the spell’s effect would increase according to the amount of magical power you pour into it.”

 

The 2 of them did a good job. They showed an expression full of a sense of accomplishment. But of course as usual I didn’t have a chance to speak out.

I swung my sword, had my butt touched, discussed the range of motion and the position to engrave the magic circles, had my inner thigh stroked, and told them my battle stance. That was what I went through during measurements. I shut my eyes, took a deep breath twice, before asking the 2 of them.

 

“Firstly Grand-san, I’m pretty sure I swung a sword but why is it that you made a cane? And Toretto-san, even though you made me put on so many sets of armour, why is the finish product not a set of armour but instead the inner wear worn under the armour?”

I couldn’t understand.

 

“Ah? Oh. This is a sword cane. It was the idea of a swordsman who used a katana. You just have to do this.” He manipulated the cane and somehow it became a sword.

“Ha?”

Like in my previous life, instead of an instantaneous change it was more like an illusion. Sword canes have a sheath but this one doesn’t. It suddenly changed into a one-handed sword.

“Were you surprised? The dragon pattern on the handle was specially crafted.”

Ignoring the dazzled youngster look from Grand-san, the dragon pattern was impressive.

 

“If that’s how it is, then I have a feeling that it’s the same here?”

“Eh? There’s no way it’s like that. But it’s strength should be greater than the armour you are wearing right now? It would be weird if a healer like you is overdressed in public right?”

“This clothes is stronger than armour?!”

“Fo~ It’s because my tension was raised. Also the body touching was … my hobby. ///”

… I didn’t want to know that. It seems like the legendary clan lives up to its name.

 

I took the transformation sword and tried changing it into a sword and a cane. Yup. I love it. The dragon crafted on the handle looks like the dragon sword used by the father of a certain manga’s protagonist. It looked cool and I was excited to the point of almost wanting to scream out.

“Wait Luciel-kun. I would also like you to try wearing this.”

Toretto-san called out. I noticed everybody’s line of sight and it was time to change.

 

“How is it?”

“It looks great on you. Even though it makes you look slightly more like an uncle, you should be able to wear it out in public. Fo~.”

“Yup. I was also thinking that it looks great on you. It has a sense of refinement, and if you wear a robe over it, I think you would look the part for a S-rank healer.”

“Also if you add in this sword cane … illusionary cane, it would be perfect.”

“That’s great. Also, here.”

Toretto-san rummaged through his magic bag and took out the full-length mirror.

“Is that?”

“Yeah. Luciel-kun, no, Luciel-chan, it is the Transformation Dresser Mirror you wanted. It looked like I would have had to spend a long time making this set of clothes, so I had it brought over.”

“Thank you very much.”

“I’m glad you like it.”

“Yeah. I had the chance to make something good and got paid for it so it’s a matter for great celebrations. If you have something else you wish to make or if you need maintenance, contact me. I’ll let my underlings know.”

“Me too. That item you asked for is a prototype, so please contact me. Come look for me if you come to the town of craftsmen. I’ll give you plenty. of. service.~”

Brrrr. I had goosebumps but I stuck on a smile and laughed.

 

I was also told to get Instructor Broad’s permission to drink sake before I came to the town of craftsmen. After that, Catherine-san and I returned to the church. Along the way, I was curious about something so I asked Catherine-san.

“Oh yeah, Just now Grand-san mentioned about production cost for my equipment. How much was it?”

Catherine-san replied with a smile.

“People are happier not knowing about some things. Well we did get a discount and we provided many dragon materials, so it’s about the total of all the magic stones that Luciel-kun accumulated from diving into the labyrinth.”

“Is that so.”

At that time I had no idea what the price of magic stone was and neither did I know how much I had earned. It’s something I learned in the distant future, but I turned pale when I found out.

  1. thnas for the chappy! 😀

  2. Even if it's just 1 gold coins per stone, he probably made a few billion? I dunno, my counting is probably off. Still, he made a crap ton.

  3. thanks for the chapter.

  4. I would be scared of that billion magic stone cost it would be… Also would kill to see a picture of how he looks in that armor with the cane… Maybe he would be symilar to Assassin's Creed Syndicate Jacob…

      The very fact that there is literally 0% description of how it looks, other than that it looks like “under clothes”, is bothering the hell out of me.

    Maybe it cost 2 years anual budget of major county ?

  6. Thanks~^^
    Huehehehehehehehe~ now i'm curious how much 1 point in gold~ 😀
    even if IP=10g thats already in Millions Gold~

  7. Thanks for the new chapter!

  8. Ah! So the magic stone have come back into his benefit then!!
    The pope is not really stingy as I think!!

  9. What manga was the reference for the dragon sword?

  10. What manga was the reference for the dragon sword?

  13. Thanks for the new chapter! Well they were the best craftsman, so no surprise their fees are sky high.

  15. So they used "his" magic stones worth of money to pay for it or it was just a comparison? More importantly, will Luciel get the money from the magic stones he got?
    Also, why in the world are those dwarfs so expensive for just doing labor? lol wtf? They were given the most important and expensive thing(the materials), they were given the installations and tools to do the job,most likely food and hospitality as well, they had a once in a life time opportunity to work with a legendary dragon's items, and make equipment for the youngest S-Rank healer ever… It should be an honor for them for Luciel to wear something they made…………
    Well, whatever… can't rationalize with with men that touch other men's butts and inner-thighs as a hobby :/

    Anyways… Thank you so much for the chapter 🙂 *whispers* damn rip-off dwarfs…

  16. The church must not be very good at negotiating. Those guys would definitely have done it for less for the sake of working with legendary materials, and no matter how good they are, there would be someone almost as good that would do it for half the price that could be used to lower the price. Unless they're in a guild system that controls pricing.

  17. Luciel already exchanged those stones for points and spent the points. It was a rip-off, but he agreed to it.

    Also, its even worse than you said since they didn't just get money, they also got even more legendary Dragon materials which they can make into even more legendary equipment and sell for astronomical sums to various royalty.

    By they way, not all gay guys will screw you financially just because they want to do so physically.

  18. To be fair only toretto is gay haha grand is the alcoholic

  19. To be fair only toretto is gay haha grand is the alcoholic

  20. Thanks for the chapter!
    Lets hope that Luciel goes to the some dungeon to get more money even if he still doesnt have use for it.

  21. that cane…
    is it that Urahara…wait instant change? Genryuusai cane?

    39 4d CH

  22. "one cannot force master/grandmaster level figures when it comes to equipment after all your life is on the line, sure if you force them they will make something that looks like what you want but it will most likely be a pretty ornament and no a real weapon or armor" -quote from me

  23. Well to be fair, he also handed over pretty much all the epic gear he got from the dungeon to the pope, on top of all those magic stones that let the church get out of debt probably.

    It's probably Dai no Daibouken, the refenrece would fits his ossan age

  25. thanks a lot… ^_^
    ~sukanime

  26. Well the magic gear was the churches to begin with.

  27. By ourselves we are weak, like a single stick, but together we are strong, like a mighty faggot.

  28. Thanks for the chapter Tseirp!

    Should be Baran's sword from Dai no Daibouken.
    Dragon quest series manga in Shounen jump magazine 20 years ago.
    A very good one imo.

  30. dai no daibouken reference no doubt about it.. so the author are fans of that series too :v

  31. Thank you very much for chapter (★´ω`★)ゞ
    Can't really imagine the weapon of Luciel but thanks to the comments referencing it to dai no daibouken I can Imagine
    Seems badass with a hilt as a dragon head just the blade is a katana rather than a broad sword which is badassヽ(๑╹ڡ╹๑)ノ
    It seems like Luciel has a special armor cause it doesnt look like an armor rather just an outfit lol. Guess dragon skin >> ore

  32. Ooo thanks for finding the reference 🙂

  33. They have a reputation to protect too. What do you think would happen to that reputation if the most popular healer in the world, and the only S rank healer in the world, died because of an equipment malfunction? They'd be lucky if they weren't lynched in the streets.

  34. alexorario

    Thank you for the chapter!

  35. thank you for being so foretelling

  36. admiralen

    Yet the healers are the ones called scrooges and money grubbers

  37. ” This can become hard when magical power is channelled into it.” kinky
