Chapter 163.2: Present
「Uwaa, Tendou-kun is too OP.」
「Yeah, yoo OP
」
Jury-Mary sung a praise seeing such a handsome man showing his strength before them. But Kyouko was the only one who apparently felt disturbed since the 『Tera Sagitta』 that she had relied until now was easily blocked by the knights.
「Stronger magic, is what I want to ask but
」
Ever since she participated in the battle, Kyouko started to understand the value of 『Strength』.
Reason being according to someone who was already powerful from the very beginning, namely Ryuuichi asked Momokawa Kotaro about why he was so desperate. He replied that he, who wasn’t strong from the very beginning, knew more than anyone that weakness was a “sin” in this dungeon survival.
You’ll survive if you’re strong, and die if you’re weak. Survival of the fittest, it was a law of the jungle that he wouldn’t understand unless he experienced it himself. It was something that she couldn’t feel since she was always being protected by Jury-Mary and Ryuuichi before they met Kotaro.
「But still, what should I do to raise my level.」
And yet, no matter how much she deliberated, she couldn’t come up with a good idea. Understanding the value and importance of becoming stronger was the key, but realizing that was a completely different matter.
In addition, thinking was not Kyouko’s strong point. As much as she was embarrassed about it, she was someone with the lowest grades in the class.
「Hey, Tendou-kun, what are you going to do about their weapon?」
「If those weapons are of no use to you, can you let us have those weapons? It looks stronger than normal weapon.」
In front of Kyouko who took a short break after her brain got heated up due to her thinking, there was the figure of Jury and Mary picking up the axe and spear from the wreckage of the knights who got decapitated by Ryuuichi.
Ryuuichi didn’t seem to be interested in those weapons either.
「Oi, place those thing over there for now.」
Jury and Mary obediently placed the weapon on the place pointed by Ryuuichi.
「
 『Servant・Alchemist』」
As soon as Ryuuichi muttered those words, a pale, golden magic circle appeared on the ground beneath the weapons. The magic circle which looked different from the one when he invoked 『Treasury』 shone brightly.
Thereupon, something like particles of light started to appear from the magic circle, and their number gradually increased
 until finally it formed a human figure.
The human figure made of the particles of light was a short, child-like figure, holding a hammer in one hand, and wearing a pointed hat like the one worn by a fairy in a fantasy story. Their number increased from one to two, then three to four as they gathered in the magic circle as if they’re dancing―― And then the light broke apart, disappearing into the darkness like an illusion.
The only thing left in there was the spear and axe placed over there. To be exact, its form was also different from before.
Inheritence skill.
『Servant・Alchemistă€ïŒšFollower of the king. The alchemist who made various things in accordance with the king’s order.
The skill he used this time was a new one which he got before he knew it. To be exact, he got this skill upon seeing Kotaro ordering various things to the black skeleton called Rem.
Though he was lacking the in-depth knowledge, he at least understood that in this world, he could use spirit to use magical power called 『Alchemy』. 『Sage』 Takanashi Kotori aside, it seemed that both Souma Sakura and Kisaragi Ryouko had acquired that ability too.
But since he wouldn’t know how this skill compared to theirs, he used this chance to try that new skill. That’s why he invoked 『Servant・Alchemist』.
「Try to use them, Jury-Mary. Its performance should be much better now.」
The axe and spear which formed altered by Ryuuichi’s 『Servant・Alchemist』became smaller, and easier to wield compared to when they just picked it up. Though the weapon was originally made bigger to suit the knight’s big frame, it was way too big for normal girls like them. That’s why even with their current power rivaling ten men, that weapon was too much for girls like them to handle.
At this point, the new spear and axe were just right for them. The shaft was just right for their grip, there was even a flowing golden pattern on black background which gave an aesthetic beauty to it.
『Black Metal Speară€ïŒšA spear bestowed by the king.
『Black Metal Axeă€ïŒšAn axe bestowed by the king.
When Ryuuichi told them so, both of them were looking at the weapon that literally transformed into a completely different weapon from the original with a dumbfounded look on their faces. But that dumbfounded look transformed into a whole face smile as soon as they touched the handle of their weapon of choice.
「T-this, could it be
」
「Present for us!?」
It seemed that even Ryuuichi had to agree that there’s no way the members of his group could fight properly against the moving armor with the crappy weapons they plundered from the skeletons.
Whether it was given as a present, charity, pity, or a mere whim, Jury-Mary combi accepted it with a cheerful look on their faces.
「Hey, Tendou-kun, is there no weapon for me?」
「Ah, well, it might take a while.」
「Please make it as fast as possible.」
For some reason, even Ryuuichi couldn’t help but smile wryly upon seeing Kyouko’s self-important attitude.
