We have quite a number of people here, so we pack the stuff in the back so as not to get in the way.
Miharu and Natsumi looked somewhat unwell, but stepping into this girlish and fancy space, they seem to have calmed down somewhat.
「Now then, feel free to choose the ones you like. More or less, these are all magic item that grant correction, you know?」
Mikan-senpai, seated on the other side of the chabudai, takes sparkling weapons of the Little Demon series from out of that magic bag and lines them up on the table.
The ones I handed over to her were the five types of ‘『Little Demon Sword』, 『Little Demon Hatchet』, 『Little Demon Stick』, 『Little Demon Spear』 and 『Little Demon Axe』, but from their names, they have turned into something else altogether.
Now they are 『Goblin Dagger』, 『Goblin Knife』, 『Goblin Mace』, 『Goblin Spear』, and 『Goblin Axe』.
I wonder who it is that gives these item names.
The blade part has all been sharpened to a shine, and the grips and decorations are more stylish than the stuff sold in the purchasing department.
Even Shizuka, who didn’t seem to show any particular interest in the items on display, is looking at these items with a wow.
I think polished weapons have a functional, esthetical beauty.
「Groovy. Your skill is very magnificent. Senpai.」
「Nah, hahaha. It’s not just me, I did it together with everyone.」
The shy Mikan-senpai holding her head is so cute.
It looks like the club member ladies, who are nonchalantly peeking at with their head popping out of the partition, also have considerable skills.
Also, it ought to be heavy, so I think they should just put away the weapon in their hand.
「This is even more awesome than the ones from before. Rather, I don’t get it why you’re giving this away for free.」
「These seem to be weapons originally handed over by you guys, I suppose… You came across an 『Armory』, didn’t you? Then, using it as the lure, he fished and raped Mikan-chan.」
「… That is a misunderstanding, apparently. Well, failed attempt, or perhaps just the tip, I guess.」
「Looks like there’s a need for capital punishment, after all… We’ll have to hold internal trial later.」
Vice president-san, who has abandoned her shop tending duty, and Seiichi seem to be strangely friendly.
Mai’s mood seems to be deteriorating, but let’s leave it alone.
Receiving a recommendation from Mikan-senpai, I have Shizuka and the others choose their respective weapon.
Shizuka gets 『Goblin Spear』 since she seems close to getting accustomed to wielding a spear, while Miharu and Shizuka get 『Goblin Mace』 since they are not accustomed to wielding weapon.
After that, the girl members, including Mai, are given a pair of 『Goblin Dagger』 each as sub-weapons.
Seiichi chooses a set of two 『Goblin Knife』 and asks for knuckle guards processing to turn them into trench knives.
It seems that something on that level can be finished by tomorrow.
They seem would use the 『Craftsman』 skill, 『Process』.
It’s a basic skill for the craftsman class, but if the one using it Mikan-senpai who has 『Blacksmith』 class, she’ll probably be able to rouse en even better effect.
Rather, senpai ladies don’t have an SP indicator next to their ▼, so I wonder how they use their skills.
「Could it be that you are going to dive into the dungeon after this?」
「Hmm? Oh, that’s not it. Come to think of it, you guys are first-year students, so you have never used it yet, right? There’s a place in the special building where you can use your skills.」
It seems that there is a facility in the academy that creates an artificial pseudo-dungeon space.
The one that Senpais use is the 『Workshop (Factory)』 which is used by those with 『Craftsman』 branching classes.
There seems to be also 『Arena (Colosseum)』 that is used for combat training that utilizes skill as well as the venue of martial arts tournament.
It’s said that 『Arena (Colosseum)』 is an underground facility that is larger than a gymnasium.
Once again, I come to think what a strange school it is.
As a service from Mikan-senpai, we are also given a tactical belt made by 『Adept Workers』.
It’s a type that allows you to attach weapons and items to the belt around your waist, and it seems to be a fine article that senpais have actually used and improved.
Let’s make Shizuka and the others equip these belts and daggers on a regular basis.
Leaving aside whether it will end up getting used or not, it’ll serve a charm against the bunch who look down on girls.
「Thank you very much, Mikan-senpai. You are of a great help.」
「It’s fine, it’s fine. It’s for my cute kouhai, after all. Not to mention that I get to receive the other equipment and all.」
「Then, let’s take the weapon materials we collect from the dungeon to the Adept Workers. Is that okay with you?」
Just in case, I ask Seiichi and the others for their approval.
These may be deserted drop items, but they are nonetheless party’s shared property.
If Mikan-senpai and the others want it, then I ought to have picked them all up.
Well, true enough, they may be tattered and crumbling equipment, but without the magic bag possessed by Mikan-senpai or my Item Box, I guess we won’t be able to collect the heavy and bulky items.
「Well, I’ve got a really cool sword, after all.」
「If you are okay with it, Touma-san.」
「I think that’s a good idea. Eventually, my katana will also….」
Saki’s uchigatana is a mass production item created by the purchasing department, so it looks like having Mikan-senpai create one for her would be way better than it.
Both Miharu and Natsumi also humbly nod their heads.
「… To have such a confidence to be able to get a load of drop items, you guys are no ordinary first year students, aren’t you?」
「It seems. –Senpai. What do you say about seriously getting along with us? It’s one of the so-called win-win relationships.」
「Hmmm. You have, a special circumstance?」
Mikan-senpai seems to be reserving herself, but it doesn’t take much labor in collecting them.
「Hmm… Yes. That’ll be a great help, perhaps. Th, then, right, we’ll do the maintenance for the equipment you guys are using, Touma-kun!」
「That would be a great help.」
The maintenance for bladed-type weapons seems like a pain.
Its sharpness will fall if you don’t take care and re-sharpen it.
In the dungeon, we use a stick-type sharpener sold in the purchasing department, but it can’t do anything about the chips and dents.
Seiichi’s win-win vibe is teeming with obscene sexual harassment remark, but they seem to show no objection about it.
「Then you can choose the one you like, too, Touma-kun. It’s also fine if you want something displayed on the front.」
「I have the metal bar that I picked up in the dungeon, so I’m fine.」
It’s no more than a heavy, hard, sturdy rod, but it’s become very accustomed to my hands.
I’m by no means dissatisfied with the Little Demon series of weapons that Mikan-senpai has prepared, but they are all a little too light.
Possessing neither technique like that of Saki or speed like that of Seiichi, I think this boorish metal rod that boasts nothing but an ostentatious name is a better match for me.
「Then I’ll give it some maintenance at once. I’ll finish it up along with the knuckle guards of his by after school tomorrow.」
「By all means, it’s a little heavy, though.」
「Whoa, where have you been storing this? As expected, Touma-kun, you also have a storage-type magic item….」
Well, it’s a rod that boasts a six feet (180 CM) length, more than I am tall, so there’s no way I can gloss it over.
It feels painful to deceive her, but I think it’s safer to make her think that I’m in possession of a magic pouch or something.
Or so I think, but Mikan-senpai stiffens up, as if the pause button has been pressed.
「… 『Gaki Lord Metal Rod (Overgreed Gear)』, let alone named equipment, it’s perhaps an Innate Armament (Origin Gear).」
Vice President-san, who has been showing a seemingly sleepy face, is staring intensely at me with fixed eyes.
Her class is 『Appraiser (Authenticator)』, so perhaps she’s capable of reading item information.
But I have no idea about this Named Origin Gear whatnot.
I wonder if she’s able to see more detailed information than my Interface.
「Yes. I think I’m getting a little interested in you guys, perhaps?」
