The Hard Work Will Never Betray Me

CH 56

“But well, it is a legendary metal with incredible durability”

. ……”

It was a lump of iron to be forged. Of course not just a stone, but has a very different durability. Orichalcon is definitely an amazing metal, because it can penetrate it like tofu.

“Hal. Can I see it?”

"Oh yeah. Yep.

Mei, the creator and researcher, asked to give him the sword, so I handed him the magic sword, Raikiri, without hesitation. He saw her for a while and then handed her back to me.

“I suspect the unusual slash you just made might be due to Hal's unique skill set.

“[shock]ku?”

"Yes." Yeah."

He continued.

“It seems that orichalcone reacts to the power and magical properties of its users and strengthens them. If you try hard enough, you can do something similar with your [Shock], right?

Inevitably I muttered something to myself while thinking about what Mei said.

“High frequency knife.”

“High frequency knife? I don't know much about it, but if the core of the orichalcone is magic reinforcement, I think it's safe to assume that the same can be done in general.

High frequency blades, sometimes referred to as vibrating swords or ultrasonic cutters. It is a science fiction weapon often seen in manga and anime that vibrates its blades at high speed to easily cut even the harshest of materials.

Although fictional, it has in fact been applied in industrial businesses, and is said to be useful for processing hard metals. In other words, it is not a completely impossible weapon of science fiction.

"Huh?"

I took out the dagger that was on my waist and swung it down on the chunk of iron lying in the shape of a dice.

Its shape was not like tofu, but its blade was still able to slice through half a piece of iron without breaking the blade.

“Good, I understand.”

I sent a high-frequency [surprise] to his knife and tried to slash the iron beam, but it seemed to work better than I thought. Despite not having the same level of strength as Raikiri, it might be a great way to get out of a difficult situation

“I'm sure you're right, Hal. Well, Raikiri is a gift for you, Hal.”

"Is that okay?"

“It's no use I have it. I will gladly give it to you.

“You're a researcher.”

"Ha ha ha. Then let's go immediately. I want to get at least an A rank magic stone today."

“No, wait a minute. I'll wear the mask.”

If I wear a silver mask, I will become an unknown “komet silver”.

Incidentally, these two names of “Komet Perak” come from two sources. The word “silver” comes from the silvery-white look of “Aegis” armor, and “komet” came about because I was a newcomer who appeared like a comet. I don't know how I got that nickname, but I've been working in secret for fear of being exposed, and the next thing I know, people call me that.

"Well, shall we go?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Mei and I walked together towards the Adventurers Guild. I wonder what kind of request we will receive today.

✳︎

“Oh, the Silver.”

“Who is the girl next to you?”

"I don't know. But she's pretty sweet.”

"Do you want me to go talk to him?"

“Do not do that. That's the Silver girl.

“Yes, don't do that unless you want to die.

As soon as we entered the Adventurers Guild, the attention of everyone inside was focused on us.

“That's a bad thing to say. I've never killed anyone directly."

“The silver woman was apparently, c Mm-hmm."

“You have a funny way to make me laugh.”

I pulled Mei, who was grimacing and uncomfortable, with me to the reception desk. It's a bit crowded, but it's not hard to get through because everyone is of course running away from me.

“Oh, that's you, Silver. Are you following the usual pattern today?

"Yes. Please recommend me something."

Sally, the receptionist, who was one of the few people who knew the identity of the Silver Comet, took out a file and flipped it over. He was half my exclusive, and his position and salary increased in proportion to my contribution to the guild, and he was a new star in the Heitburg branch adventurer guild.

“I recommend this request. An A rank monster, a wyvern, suddenly appeared and started living in a village near the demon forest. You have to beat him.”

“I've never seen Wyvern before. How big are they?"

“I think it's about three meters from the ground. If he spread his wings, his height could reach four or five meters. It was a low-level dragon, so it was relatively smaller for the dragon species."

“But it is still much bigger than human.”

“It was a A rank monster. It was an A rank demon. Strong monsters are usually large.

“Which part of wyvern can be used as material?”

Mei who was only interested in the material asked Sally from the side.

“Everything is made of. ……”

"That's great."

May will use everything from head to toe? I'm starting to feel sorry for the wyverns.”

“Guild will be very appreciative if you hunt them as much as possible, as they are the ones that attack humans and livestock. There are reports that their numbers are increasing because they attack the livestock of the community, so we do not need to be careful in hunting it excessively."

''So let's exterminate the wyverns who live around the village."

"Let's do it."

In Japan, there is a problem with the number of deer that invade the forest. A certain amount is required.

“Then, I will take care of that request.”

"Please?"

Okay, here's the detail.

"Thank you."

He gave me a map with a lot of information in it. It includes the location of the settlement, the estimated population of wyverns, and the distribution of other demons.

“It was very helpful.”

“That is an A rank request.I'm sure this is much more detailed than that, as there have been a number of D rank and C rank research requests before this.

"So so. You certainly can't just send A rank request.”

"That's what I mean."

The only person who can accept A rank requests is A rank and above. You can only accept requests up to minus one rank, so even if you have a B+ rating, which is considered the elite in the world, you can't get it.

And with an A rating, the cost of labor is very high. If they only provided A rank requests, they would be a waste of human resources, and the Adventurer Guild would get in trouble just to pay the cost. Therefore, when the request came in and was expected to be difficult, the guild asked a D rank adventurer or mid-level C rank adventurer to conduct a reconnaissance before assigning the request to the appropriate rank.

“The completion time of this task is about one month, so I think you can take some time. Have a nice day.”

"I'm leaving."

"I'm leaving."

Sally drove me and Mei and I left the Adventurers Guild. And as we left, I stopped and discussed with Mei.

“Yah, May. The deadline for requests is one month. I picked it up on the spur of the moment, but isn't this taking too long?”

“Well, I think time is enough."

“It sounds like a pleasant request to me, and I'm fine with it because I have some free time. What about you, Mei? Won't you be mad at you for going away for a month?"

“Yes, the R&D team is now developing, so I'm sure they'll be able to walk without me, but we have to ask them."

"That's right. Anyway, I almost forgot, we are only twelve years old.”

Come to think of it, a 12-year-old girl traveling alone with a man her age is not allowed in the anime. I don't want to use the authority of my nobles either, because I owe the master a favor. …… . I'm sorry, but that's all I can do.

✳︎

"I don't mind. Eberhard says he'll go with you.”

And this is what I got when I asked the master. Getting permission is pretty easy.

“But, Sir, are you sure? I'm a man."

“It's more convenient for me.”

"What?"

“Yes, there are many things in the adult world."

His master said something I don't understand, but it's good he gave me permission.

"So let's go. We have boxes of goods, so we don't have to worry about food, clothing, or shelter."

Item box. It is also a new magic tool developed over the past six years. This is a large capacity item box made with Lily's best space-time magic and Mei's magic tool production technique.

The time in the box is stopped (it can be slowed or accelerated), the contents never mix, and the capacity is as large as a prefectural gymnasium. Although it cannot house living creatures, it is a super-advanced artifact that offers ghost-like performance from the interdimensional pockets of blue raccoon robots.

Of course such a thing does not exist in this world. On the contrary, We are slowly transcending the common sense of the world.

"Oh wait!"

Mei stopped me there.

"What?"

“Why don't we call Lily?”

“I'd love to, but I'm not sure if he'll approve.

“I'm sure everything will be fine.”

"I don't think so. All right, let's ask him.“

“Lily, hello?”

I'll ask him about the communication pendant.

"All I'm gonna come!"

“See, I told you”

"That's right. ……”

Lily joined us on our adventure.
