Chapter 20 [Tet’s new equipment. Then, on to the next place.] Part 2
“Well, let’s go back to the main topic. As for my recommendation, I’d like to recommend the magic steel sword.”
“Just putting it out there, but can’t we buy a mithril sword with our budget of three large gold coins?”
“Hold your horses. If you’re thinking about the transmission rate, then mithril is the only way to go. However, when I saw that sword, Tet jou-chan has a considerable amount of strength. If that’s the case, then the weapon itself is better off strong like magic steel.”
‘I see

’ I understood as they explained, but Tet, on the other hand, tilted her head to the side.
“That is to say. Tet jou-chan’s broken sword adapted considerably to your mana and hated it. There’s no way you can use this guy.”
“What do you mean?”
When I asked, he replied, ‘Good question,’ and made a happy smile with his tanned face from blacksmithing.
“With a normal sword, mana passes through poorly. However, after using a tool for a long time, it’ll adapt itself. Combining that concept with magic steel, if you keep using it, a good sword will be born.”
“So I’ll be able to use it like Majo-sama’s sword?”
“Aah

 in the beginning, it’ll be inferior to making it with magic steel. By mixing in the magic steel, the mana will react and gradually, the iron will alter the magic steel and become strong. Also, a weapon that’s familiar with its user’s mana will recover the right form in response to the mana.”
The older brother explained it on one go, but in response to that, the astonished younger brother supplemented some details.
“Nii-san’s saying that he’ll make a sword that in the beginning, will be a sword less conductive than magic steel, but in the future, it’ll be a magic sword which won’t need repairing.”
“I can’t overlook the ‘won’t need repairing’ part. It’s automatic repair I say! Also, if the sword can repair itself over time like those fantastical demon swords, we have a deal!”
Having proposed so, I thought it wasn’t a bad idea.
Since we’re continuing our journey from now on, it’ll be difficult to have a blacksmith constantly help us, so I’m thankful that Tet’s weapons will not need repairing and automatically repair itself.
“Tet, what do you think?
“If I can use Majo-sama’s sword again, then that’s good.”
“Then, please. About the cost—-”
After that, it was decided to have Tet’s magic sword made, and we both took measurements and had decided to have our armor custom-made using the leather of the ogre that we defeated.
The magic sword was nine small gold coins and the complete set of ogre leather armor was five small gold coins was half of the prepared budget. After paying the deposit, which was half the payment, we left the store.
“Next is the bookstore. As for the books, I’d like some magic books and

”
Having finally arrived at the town’s bookstore, I bought seven small gold coins worth of books that I was interested in.
Even though the contents were little, one book was mostly five or ten silver coins. After skimming and gathering books with necessary information, that was the final cost.
As a result, we used up the sum of defeated ogre’s raw materials sold off, and starting tomorrow, we won’t have our weapons, so we received herb collection requests.
Then, one week later, when Tet’s equipment was completed, we went to the weapon store to get them.
“Oh, it suits you!”
“Thank you!”
Tet put on the complete set of equipment that the weapon shop brothers completed and she looked like a competent female adventurer.
“Well then, here’s the remaining payment. Please count it.”
“Oh, I checked it. Thank you for your patronage!”
“Majo-sama, Majo-sama! Can we try it out right now!”
Having finished paying for the equipment, Tet pulled out the fixed sword and prepared herself to use it.
I shot a glance at the weapon store brothers and saw them nod.
“It’s fine if you allow the mana to flow, but no swinging.”
“Alright!”
Having said that, Tet releases a large amount of mana from her body and circulated in the sword.
“Oi oi, this here, I’m astonished

”
Then, the sword sucked up Tet’s mana and the blade gradually dyed black, and changed colors up to the tip.
“Normally, it changes color as it gets used to your mana as you use it gradually, but for it to change into a cursed sword immediately.”
“Your mana reserve is amazing

 even though you’re a swordsman. Don’t you have as much mana as a court magician?”
In front of the dwarf blacksmith brothers who were dumbfounded, Tet happily looked back at me.
“How’s this, Majo-sama~. With this, Tet can protect Majo-sama~.”
The moment Tet stopped releasing her mana, she suddenly crouched down on the place.
“Tet, are you okay? Don’t push yourself!”
“Fuhehe, sorry.”
Tet released her mana from her core in one go to quicken the transformation of the magic steel and completed the magic sword.
As a result of being a new species evolved from a golem, she possessed a large amount of mana compared to a human, but her means for recovering used mana was poor.
“Geez, don’t be reckless. Well then, I’ll take Tet and leave the town.”
“No problem, we also received a good job. Next time you come to this town, show me the sword! If the companion with that much mana uses this sword, the magic sword might evolve further one more time!”
While waiting for the weapon to be completed, we checked the date and time for the stagecoaches. After getting the weapon, we’d get on and ride the stagecoach, and head for the next town at our own pace.
“Tet, are you really okay?”
“Fuhehe, I’m happy clinging to Majo-sama~.”
Holding up her back with my hand, I charged and restored her mana silently, but I didn’t see even a single sign of remorse.
Then, when we arrived at the stagecoach area, the three members of Falcon Watching the Wind were waiting for us.
“Hey, Chise jou-chan and Tet jou-chan, you kept us waiting.”
“Lyle-san, why are you here?”
“We’re seeing you off. The other adventurers were also indebted to you, so we’re the representative to see you guys off.”
Having been told that they were indebted to me and Tet, I was a bit puzzled.
At most, I’ve been going to and from the guild’s reference room for a week, raising my rank by herb collecting for two weeks, and herb collecting while we waited for Tet’s equipment for a week in this town.
We stayed for a total amount of approximately one month, so I didn’t have much memory of someone being indebted to us.
“There’s also John’s treatment and the ogre subjugation, but you’ve been at the training school for around a week after finishing requests right?”
“We have. We were practicing self-defense and how to avoid at the guild’s training grounds though.”
I’m a long-range combatant due to magic, but just in case the enemy gets close, I practiced self-defense.
Between the training drills at the guild’s training grounds, I learned of footwork and the method to deal with approaching enemies used by scouts and archers and practiced it with Tet.
“Even though she could single-handedly defeat an ogre, the adventurers were inspired by the two of you who were trying to become stronger.”
“That so? That wasn’t particularly my intention though

”
“Well, that’s how it is.”
Then, we received our farewells from Lyle-san and them.
The fellow female bow-user adventurer Anna especially was worried about our journey with just two girls and I was both happy and embarrassed.
“We’re leaving soon, so get on!”
“Majo-sama, let’s go!”
“Well then, farewell.”
We got on the stagecoach and looked at the town of Daryl from the slowly advancing coach.
