chapter 95
95. Two Leashes in Each Hand (1)
“Hmm.”
I picked up the sword given to me by Leni and took a closer look.
A sword with a total length of about 120cm made of high-quality Damascus steel.
A weapon commonly called a long sword.
This is the sword most commonly used by knights. Of course, people who adopt shields have a higher percentage of people who adopt arming swords… But since knights are a tribe specialized in physical combat, it is not uncommon to see people wielding long swords and shields.
Of course, since it was a game world, there were swordsmen who used weapons that were unrealistically large, making you wonder if this was true.
However, even though Lenny possessed tremendous strength, he did not prefer the great sword.
To be precise, I would say that I cannot use it due to the nature of my job as an escort knight.
Due to the nature of having to protect Karina, a weapon with some degree of portability was advantageous.
I ran my finger along the back of the sword and felt the feel of a well-maintained long sword. The density seemed to be good enough that you could definitely say it was made by a craftsman, and the sound it made when you flicked it with your finger was clear.
…I’m going to slowly coat it.
I looked at the liquid that was molten mithril next to the furnace. A complex process was required to melt mithril. You have to raise the temperature as much as possible with expensive firewood, spray special chemicals to make it easy to melt, and, crucially, use expensive magic adhesive to coat the mithril well.
…If I were a dwarven craftsman, I could just coat it, but at my level, I had to make it easy to coat with various chemicals before I could even attempt coating.
I don’t know if it was my lack of ability or because it was Mithril, but the skills didn’t work properly.
“…I guess I have to go make money again.”
“Here’s a towel!”
“Thanks. “Milia.”
After all, it’s easier to have someone who takes care of you. I wiped my sweaty upper body with a towel and examined the condition of the mithril-coated longsword. It hasn’t stuck properly yet, so you’ll have to wait until time passes. I handed the towel, which quickly got wet, to Milia and sat down on a chair to rest.
“John, what are you going to do now?”
“Well…”
Milia, who was secretly looking forward to it even though she was pretending not to, sat down next to me and shook her leg. I don’t know why, but I feel good. I looked blankly at Milia’s calves her her her, which were shaking vigorously, and then looked at Milia’s her head her her her her, which had fallen onto my lap her her her her.
“Let’s go on a picnic! I wanted to go on a picnic! I brought a packed lunch and looked at the flowers…”
One by one, Millia began listing the things she wanted to do. This was something that usually happened whenever this red-haired Dullahan was bored. Why do I want to do so much? I listened to her milia’s voice and checked what needed to be done.
1. Prepare for the event that will occur during the final exam.
2. Attracting capital to strengthen combat power.
3. Securing a holy object that will completely heal Karina’s body.
4. Find Elina’s earrings.
These four were the goals that had to be achieved first. In terms of time, the final exams are about a month away, but the most urgent things are securing the sacred items and finding Elina’s earrings.
It would be easiest to embezzle capital from somewhere else, but for now, I’ll have to go looking for holy relics and raid dungeons to expand my resources. I wish someone would give me about 1 ton of mithril. I’ll plaster it all with mithril.
Mithril armor, mithril underwear, mithril hat, whatever, if you make them all out of mithril and put them on Karina, wouldn’t the minimum level of safety be secured? Of course, the items that Karina has now are all expensive magical items…
“…One? “John!”
“… Ah. Sorry. “There’s a lot to think about.”
“Is that so?”
As if she was pouting when I passed her words off her, Milia puffed out her cheeks like a child and glared at me. If you look at her like that, she looks cute rather than scary. I stroked her Milia’s head like I always did to relieve her anger.
The silky soft hair slides through my hands. Are all women’s hair like this? I think Elisha was like this too.
“John, you’re thinking about someone else right now. Right?”
“…I was thinking about Elisha.”
“Why Elisha? “Do you like that kind of person, Yohan?”
Millia looked truly curious. I patted her head and gave her an appropriate answer.
“I was a little worried.”
Even though the rat’s tail was cared for, I couldn’t help but worry because the shocking power, or rather, the death power, was still there. Should I say this is the feeling of a parent seeing a child thrown into the water? When I think about it this way, I feel like I am taking on the role of a parent.
It would be nice to be called dad by a child of the same physical age.
The thought of Elisa calling her dad gave her goosebumps.
Isn’t this pleasure without responsibility, or rather, responsibility without pleasure? I did not want such a development without dreams or hope. I am not a monk, and I want to date and get married normally.
I can’t help but run around like crazy because I know that this world is just 5 minutes away from being destroyed at any time. I survived on a deserted island for 10 years, but now I can’t let go.
So now was the time to think about how to reach the true ending rather than playing around with romance.
“Are you worried?”
“Okay. “You probably know because you’ve seen it a few times.”
“That’s right. “Every time I approached him, he got scared and ran away.”
…You’re probably vaguely aware that he’s a Dullahan, right? I’m a little uneasy.
Or, it could be that they are scared by Millia’s terrifying fighting power and run away. It’s only when I’m around that mediation can take place, but it seems like one-on-one conversations between the two of us are still difficult.
“I want to change her timid personality a little.”
A wizard with great potential has arrived after a long time. How should I raise him and put him to good use? Anyway, wizards are a class of arrogant people, so it is difficult to recruit capable wizards as colleagues. It would be easier for her to use all of her knowledge and make her her archmage.
It may take a few years for that to happen.
“Why?”
Is this why you shouldn’t talk about other women in front of women? I said, poking Milia’s cheek, who was giving me a more uncomfortable look than before.
“…Is there a place you want to go on a picnic?”
“They say the market opens tomorrow! “Let’s go see the market!”
“The market is not a place to go for a picnic.”
“That’s it! This is this! “Picnic later!”
Oh, I guess you meant to go separately.
I nodded before Milia pouted.
“Wow!”
Look how his expression her changes right away. Was this the purpose?
I didn’t see it that way, but Millia also had a clever side.
Hehe…”
I was overcome with complicated feelings as I looked at the headless body clinging to her.
When a person laughs, their throat moves like that.
——————–
“Ah, ah, hello…”
“Did you go to class well?”
“More, thanks…”
Elisa seemed a little embarrassed and accepted my words, wondering if she experienced her in the dungeon had been helpful. Maybe it’s my mood, but my reaction is quite different from Jeon’s. I felt a strangely flowing pink air current and looked around. Fortunately, Milia went to study with Karina, so she wasn’t around.
For some reason, I had a feeling that if Milia was with her, she would be in trouble.
“I guess the results were good.”
“More, thanks to you, I got an A+… Thank you…”
If it’s an A+, the professor seems to be dying for it. Well, it’s me. Then it’s good. Because it means that all that hard work has borne great results. This means that my Elisa growth plan is going smoothly.
“Are you going to go straight to the office?”
“Oh, no. Well, I’m going to stop by the room first… “
“I get it. Then-“
It was time to send Elisha away. I looked at Elisa when I felt a tug on my sleeve. Elisa looked up at me with a face as red as a tomato and asked.
“Can you please come with me…” “?” ?”
“You know the way to the room, right?”
“Well, about that…”
“…Okay, so don’t cry.”
I walked her to her room feeling like a mother duck leading her baby ducks. Although she didn’t say a word until she entered the room, Elisa looked strangely satisfied.
“Oh, by any chance, even to the office…”
“Okay, change your clothes and come back.”
I sighed as I looked at the closed door. Why does it seem like there is one more dog in the mansion? It’s a puppy that’s timid and can’t say anything openly, but it whines if you don’t take care of it.
But if the number of dogs continues to increase like this, won’t we be crushed to death by dogs before we can save the world? Of course, it doesn’t seem like it will increase any further than this.
As I was wasting time thinking about random things, the door opened and Elisha appeared. Because she is a descendant of a witch, she dresses in all black. As I was looking at her black blouse that seemed to be dyed with ink, Elisa covered her breasts with her arms and blushed.
“Well, it’s embarrassing for you to look at me like that…”
“I was just looking at the blouse because it was fascinating.”
Really.
This is the first time I’ve seen a blouse with black dye applied like that.
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
“S-sorry…”
Oh, I can hear my self-esteem falling again like a stock that has been ruined. I calmed her down by patting her head. She must have learned what Milia did by rubbing her head, and it felt like Milia Unit 2 was created.
Now my hands are full.
Elisa, who had been rubbing her head in my palm for a while, grabbed my sleeve and asked.
“Ji, can you take me to the office?”
My answer was decided.
“Sure.”
“I want to go with you too!”
What are you? When did you come?
I naturally looked at Milia, who was holding my hand on the other side of Elisa.
“Isn’t it time to study now?”
“I went to the bathroom!”
“Oh, yes…”
Do you usually say confidently that you went to the bathroom? I thought as I looked at Milia, who was looking at Elisa, not me.
“Hi-Hi. Johan, take me too!”
Millia, where did you learn how to make a bull that even the gods of the new world would admire?
As soon as she turned her head from me, I looked at Milia and sighed.
I hope the two of you become friends.
