[Magic Sword Made in Gawain Workshop Bursting onto the Scene]
It’s been a week since I returned from collecting materials.
I’ve already learnt ‘Heart Rate Enhancement’, ‘Visual Enhancement’, ‘Smell Enhancement’, and ‘Hearing Enhancement’ from Gawain.
The magic of Body Enhancing can magically improve your physical ability so that you can see far away, perceive smell from a distance, won’t miss even small sounds, move quickly, and be able to easily kill enemies.
It’s a very convenient magic.
However, if used regularly, you will hear sounds and smell things that you don’t normally care about, and even see things that can’t be seen.
In addition, it also increase muscle strength, so I felt that it was very difficult to adjust my strength in my daily life.
Therefore, I decided that I need to get used to the magic, but not use it regularly.
“Huu, the training is over!”
“Thank you for your hard work. It seems that you have become quite accustomed to Gawain-shishou’s Body Enhancement magic.”
As a daily routine after lunch, Noelia, who was observing nearby, offered me, who finished my sword training in a body enhanced state, a beautiful cloth.
“Thank you. Right now, I’m practicing swords by activating all the Body Enhancement magic at once, but it’s pretty tiring. I’m glad that I can continue training as a swordsman. As expected, for people who specialized as a mage like Noelia, this magic may be too though.”
I wiped the sweat from my upper body with the cloth I received from Noelia.
“It seems so. Gawain-shishou is also a blacksmith before he was a mage, so I think he devised this Body Enhancement magic because he was confident in his body. It’s just, as I thought this magic is pretty hard to make a progress in for average mages. However, if it’s a mage who can also use sword, this magic would be the highest rank of magic that they definitely want to learn.”
Even Noelia, who had been watching my practice for a long time, wrote down the effects of Gawain’s Body Enhancing magic in detail in her notebook.
Before, when she learned it herself, it seems that she stated in the report that she sent to the Magic Research Institute in the Royal Capital that the usefulness of this magic was low.
However, it seems that she changed her mind after seeing how I was using it and rewrote a new report.
“It improved my sword skill dramatically, and it’s magic power consumption is low, it sure is a good magic.”
“Yes, I thought so when I watch Frick-sama.”
“Well then, should we start preparing for dinner? Dimol and co must be hungry, and I’m starving too.”
““Kueeee!””
“That’s right. Dimol and co even had asked for it, should we start the preparation soon?”
I started the sword training since noon, but the sun had already begun to set.
Even Dimol and co who were flying freely around the nearby sky during the day were now resting their wings and looking forward to the meal.
“It’s doooooooooooone!! It’s done! It’s finally done!!”
We, who were about to return to the main building, heard Gawain’s scream from the workshop.
In the hand of Gawain, who rushed out of the workshop, was a longsword that was deep red from its handle to its blade.
“Frick! It’s finally done! I think it’s the perfect sword for you. No, this is a masterpiece. Take it.”
“H-Haa?”
I receive the deep red sword presented by Gawain.
I thought it would be heavier because of its size and the thickness of its blade, but it sure is a fairly light sword

The length is up to my back
it is a moderately long longsword, huh.
I checked the grip and swing it lightly.
“!?”
Like Lloyd’s sword, its flexibility and hardness were exquisitely adjusted, making it a very easy-to-use sword.
As expected of the performance of the sword made by Gawain
it’s a good sword.
My face broke into a smile involuntarily at the performance of the sword that I requested.
“It’s my honor to receive a praise from Master. From now on and forever please take care of me.”
“!?”
A voice of an unknown child could be heard from somewhere.
I look around, but the figure of the child who was the owner of the voice can’t be seen.
“Gawain-shishou
perhaps, that sword
”
“â™Ș  â™Ș  â™Ș ”
Gawain, who received Noelia’s inquisitive gaze, turned away and began to whistle.
Looking at the situation, I understood that Gawain had put something in this sword.
“Gawain-sama? Did you put something in this sword?”
“â™Ș  â™Ș  â™Ș ”
“Gawain-shishou
if you keep playing dumb, I’ll tell this to father, and your workshop will be moved into the Demon Forest.”
Gawain, who had been whistling and playing dumb to the words said by Noelia, stiffened.
When I though why did he suddenly sit down just like that, he rubbed his forehead against the ground toward Noelia.
“I’m sorry~. Isn’t it only a little prank~? Isn’t it terrible to send your cute master to the Demon Forest just because a little prank~? Please just spare me from that, no matter how much lives I have, it won’t be enough there, you know.”
“You are just reaping what you sow
or so what I wanted to say, but if you confess what thing did you put into this sword, I’ll put the circumstances into consideration.”
Noelia declared so to Gawain’s earnest apology.
“Gununu! Even though I just wanted to surprise Frick
to think I was forced to spoil it
it’s a blunder.”
“Do you want to say it? Or do you not want to say it?”
Putting her hand on her waist, Noelia gave Gawain an ultimatum.
Gawain hung and shook his head and sighed as if he had given up.
“Okay, I’ll say it, please spare me from the Demon Forest. Frick’s sword is a magic sword that got an intelligence. I always wanted to use the Metal Slimes in the ancient ruins in a blade, you see. When I completed it, it started to talk. Isn’t it cute? It’s a talking magic sword y’know.”
“Intelligent sword!? Gawain-shishou, how could you make such a thing! Intelligence sword production should be a technology that was designated as taboo by the Kingdom.”
“It’s fine, that guy has an intelligence but it’s obedient to its owner. Moreover, that guy grow by absorbing the factors that monsters has. Amazing right! It’s a talking and growing magic sword.”
A talking and growing magic sword.?
I wonder what kind of sword it actually is

I couldn’t understand what Gawain said.
“Err, is this sword that amazing? I understand that the sword’s craftsmanship is good though
”
“Ahh, that guy is amazing y’know! It’s performance as a sword is quite good because I’m the one who made it, and because it has intelligence, it can learn magic by itself. Although it absorbs magic power from its owner to use it. However, please be relieved. Since the magic stone that reduces magic power consumption is also fitted neatly on it, it can also be used as an activator when Frick activates magic! Amazing right!”
Gawain energetically gave a fervent speech about the performance of the deep red sword I had in my hand.
I understood what he meant by magic activator is that this sword reduces magic power consumption like the staff that Noelia has.
And about having intelligence
meant that the child’s voice just now was this sword’s, huh.
I glanced at the sword in my hand.
“That’s right. Master.”
“It talked! Or rather, did you read my mind?”
“I can hear Master’s conscience just a little, so I answered.”
The large purple magic stone in the center of the handle blinks according to the voice.
“Gawain-sama said you can use magic by yourself, is that true?”
“Yes, I don’t have enough factors and I only learnt Fire Arrow now though
would you like to see it?”
I somehow accept that it can talk, but rather than that, I was more curious if this magic sword can really use magic by itself.
“Ahh, do it.”
“Understood. Please specify the target.”
Because I was told that, I point the sword at a distant tree.
“※■â–Č〇※■â–Č〇”
When I thought that the magic stone had blinked, I heard an inaudible voice.
And the Fire Arrow that flew out from the tip of the sword hit the tree and burned it.
[1] The reason I changed strengthening to enhancement is this ăƒăƒŒăƒˆăƒŹăƒŒăƒˆă‚šăƒłăƒăƒłă‚čュント (Heart Rate Enhancement). The author finally specifies the term in katakana, so I’m changing it.
Girl, what are you going to do with that expensive-looking sweat-soaked cloth?
And as expected of Gawain, he really made something absurd(in a good way).
