Chapter 90 – Hidden Leaves of Rain Sword -

I put down the alchemy kit and anvil without any hassle in preparation because I’ve done it recently. The preparations are complete, and I look at the materials that have arrived.

・Riffstone x 42
・Washstone x 39
・Bonestone x 31
・Magic Iron x 27
・Copper x 22
・Iron x 24

There are three things I’ve never heard of. Riffstone, Washstone, and Bonestone… I don’t like the sound of Bonestone… I’ll have a look at it…

◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
【Name】 Riffstone: Quality 8
【Description】 An ore that can only be found in the forests around Shildina, the Land of Elves, or in the Great Labyrinth of Formana. It is said that the leaves are turned into ore by Trent in the forest and by the labyrinth itself using magic.
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
【Name】 Washstone: Quality 8
【Description】 The ore can be found anywhere near rivers and oceans with strong aquatic life. It is said to be the product of water turned into ore by strong aquatic life.
◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆◆
【Name】 Bonestone: Quality 8
【Description】 An ore that can only be found in the Labyrinth. It is made from the bones of people and monsters turned into ore by the labyrinth, and is rich in calcium. It can also be eaten, and eating it will temporarily increase your defense (small).

「Uwaa…」

I was right about Bonestone… At least I won’t be using it for my client’s weapon. As for using it for my own weapon…Hmm… I feel like I’ll be cursed… Maybe I’ll use it to make a cursed weapon someday.

「Which one should I use… ? I’ll ask her」

『Which one should I make it with?』
『Eh? On the contrary, does it matter which one?』
『Yes!』
『I thought about what I’d do if you said you couldn’t make anything out of it, so I sent you 6 kinds for now, but if you don’t mind, please use either riffstone or washstone! I’d really like you to use both of them, but that’s just me being selfish』
『Understood! I’ll be able to give it to you by tomorrow』
『That fast!?』
『Well, it’s a game after all~. In real life, it usually takes a week or two』
『Heh~, that’s impressive…』
『I’m off to make the sword, so if you’ll excuse me』
『Yes! Thank you for your hard work!』
『I’ll take care of it!』

「All right! Let’s get it done!」

The client, Noichi-san, requested that I make it out of Riffstone or Washstone, so I put all but the 2 ores in my inventory and started to process what remained. She asked me to make two, but I didn’t have time. But I have 《Alchemy Smithing》, so if I don’t have time to make two, I can just combine them into one.

I place the Riffstone and Washstone on the anvil and then strike them.

──Kaaaan! Kaaan!! Kaaaan!!

─Kaaaan! Kaaaan! Kaaan!!!

「Hmm… This doesn’t look good for 1:1… ?」

After a few strikes and mixing, I felt the Riffstone was stronger. So I adjust the ratio of Riffstone to Washstone to 1:2.

──Kaaan! Kaaan!!! Kaaaaan!

─Kaaaan! Kaaan!!! Kaaan!!

「I wonder if they’ll mix this time… ? …Okay」

The strength has been evened out, so I’ll keep going. I’m sure this will happen again in the future, so I’ll have to be careful… I read that the Secret Sword of the Dragon God, Darkness, is also made from Orichalcum and ???, so it probably means that I should make it into an alloy before making it. I only have one, so I can’t fail… I guess I’ll have to do some research before I make it properly!

I still had some of the Hellwolf King’s fangs left over, so I fashioned them into a scabbard and handle, and finished it!

『Speaking of which, what should I do about the name?』
『If it’s Riffstone, please use Hidden Leaf Sword, if it’s Washstone, please use Rain Sword! It would have been fine to use Suiton, but I like the rain…』TL. Suiton – ninjutsu art of water-escape
『I understand』
『I’m looking forward to tomorrow! Ah! I forgot to mention that you can keep the leftover materials as a gift!』
『Eh, are you sure?』
『Of course! It’s just that I don’t think I’ve paid enough for it!』
『Isn’t that a bit too much for a price… ?』
『Because it’s Ayane-san』

「Hee??」

「What? I don’t remember there being a column like this… ?」

Is this some kind of curse of the Hellwolf King? I’m not sure.

The owner was decided to be Noichi-san, and…

『I’m sending it to you now』
『Eh? It’s already done!?』
『Yes! The name is… Hidden Leaves of Rain Sword!』
『N- No way!』
『Of course it is!』
『W- What the hell! Mixing the two together… !! It’s more than I imagined!!』
