Chapter 389
Chapter 389
After I had finished my unfiltered story about the ordeal party where I was going to blow up some and slash others, Esmuer pondered for a long time with a serious expression on his face, his brow furrowed. “Umm… It’s such a strange feeling to say something. In fact
, I’m of the opinion that there’s not much difference from you in terms of behavior itself…”
He did not change his opinion.
Once for the Tennessee she knew had gone so far, and again for the fact that the cause of her extreme behavior was magical power. And finally, I was horrified that the deluxe bomber might have exploded in the middle of the royal academy.
But her astonishment seemed to go in a different direction than mine.
“He usually showed a lot of stupid words and actions… but did he act that extreme?”
Esmuer, who had been pondering for a long time, shook his head as he came to his senses.
“Hmm! This is something to think about later. There is an order to everything.”
“…Personally, I think it’s quite important, but what else is there?”
I asked if there was something more important than a bomb that might explode in the middle of the empire out of the blue.
“Isn’t it natural to enjoy the time with you properly?
Then, like the last time, it came up on top of my thigh and settled down.
“I feel like it’s not even a light problem, so I’m in a situation where I need information in many ways. No matter how much I’m praised as a genius, I can’t create something out of nothing. So it wouldn’t be right to focus on talking with you right now. do you?”
In fact, I nodded my head to my reasonable judgment, and the conversation I started to share according to her argument was mainly related to what I had experienced in the West.
Even so, Esmus already knew the approximate course of action, so in reality, most of them were ordinary travel stories such as what was difficult there, what suffered, this was funny, that was amazing. It was a really ugly content to sit down with a person who could be called the next emperor of the empire, but it didn’t matter anyway because Esmuer liked it very much.
“I know that adventure and travel are never easy, but hearing stories like this makes me want to go at least once with you.”
Even so, on the one hand, I showed a slightly vague reaction, so I cleared my throat slightly and, as she commanded, lightly tightened my arms around my waist and said.
“…I can go later.”
“Did the princess of the empire say that without any escort?”
“If I become strong enough to kill a commander of the Demon King’s army, won’t it be somehow possible?”
“Foot. That’s true. Even the carefully selected women’s bodyguards couldn’t accomplish such a feat.”
Judging by how he leaned against my chest and slightly shook his legs, it must have been an answer I liked.
“Come to think of it, I saw the other day that there were knights wearing very thick armor like paladins. Is that really armor?”
“Ah, it’s an armor made exclusively for knights who fight demons. In fact, it’s more like a magic tool than a simple armor.”
You say you wear something like that to fight on the front line? When I put on a surprised expression because it was something I had never heard before, Esmuer tapped my arm wrapped around his waist like a piano player and continued.
“It hasn’t been officially introduced yet. Only about 100 revisions were secretly introduced to the front line as a test, and the results weren’t bad, so they went into mass production. because of it.”
Armor for demons. It is said that it is called that way without a specific name.
It is an object that came out while working on a project that is an extension of the gauntlet I received, and it is said that it was produced with a change in direction to try to make it bigger to a size that can perform at all if miniaturization and weight reduction are difficult.
The characteristics of the armor she had heard from her was much more mechanical than it seemed on the outside. It requires magic stones as a power source, requires periodic maintenance by experts, and severely restricts the wearer’s behavior when damaged on the battlefield. Instead, with the assistance of the enchanted magic and mechanical devices, basic physical abilities are raised, and since it is a thick armor, the defense power goes up.
Being able to move like a normal full body armor while wearing a large piece of iron that would make you exhausted just by wearing it normally is a huge advantage. In short, it was like a real powered suit.
If Siegfried had seen it, I think he would have gone crazy. Right now, I’m even a little excited. Esmuier burst into a strange laugh, as if such a reaction had come from the outside.
“What are you so interested in? It’s an item to assist the knights who lack the ability to fight against the powerful demons.”
“It’s just cool to leave everything.”
“Cool? Hahaha, I never imagined you would say such a childish thing!”
‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have prepared one.’ Esmuer’s eyes were full of mischief. Of course, it was nonsense because there was no way for me to keep such a restricted item as I was not part of the military. But this time I decided to respond to her prank with a prank.
“It’s okay. Although the parts are limited, I got some nicer things from this trip.”
“Are you talking about Kakula’s axe? Even so, rumors and legends abound in the West.”
“No. I got the helmet.”
“pitching?”
It was faster to see than to explain in words, so I focused on the earring and created the helmet. Beyond the visor of the helmet, which always took shape at great speed, Esmuer’s face was visible, his already large eyes wide open.
“Isn’t that great?”
“This, what, nonsense, my God?!”
It took less than ten seconds for surprise to change to admiration and admiration to astonishment. Esmuye, who had lost even his vocabulary, not only looked at the helmet by rolling his eyes here and there, but also touched it closely and touched it everywhere. He even went so far as to check every part of my body without stopping there and ask if there were any other magic tools linked to the helmet. As expected, it was a response worthy of a person who possesses magical knowledge even though his body is weak.
“How? How could you come up with something like this?! Did you even meet a Balaur?!”
In the end, after expressing surprise once, Esmuet, who learned that it was really activated only with the earring, asked a question without hiding his excitement. The reaction was so serious that I felt sorry for showing it as a light joke.
“I’m sorry. I can’t tell you the details because I promised the person who gave it to me, but I only know that it’s an artifact
. ”
Because it was the only condition that Lummings put forward. It was not simply because of the beliefs of the elves who had lived for over a thousand years, including her, but also because the preparation process itself for making it was not easy.
At that time, what Lumings made while casting in front of my eyes was just the finishing process. It is said that it took her over a hundred years to make a metal the size of this helmet. He talked a lot about him and made a hopeful observation that time would be shortened through improvements, but it was never immediately possible.
If it became known that such things were made by elves, the situation could only be complicated. So it was better to just recognize it as an ancient artifact.
“It’s unfortunate, but there’s nothing special. Even if you tear open such an item and disassemble the spell, the chances of properly analyzing it aren’t even 30.”
It was Esmuer who looked very sorry not only for his words but also for continuing to touch the helmet with his small hands.
“Still, it was a good opportunity because I was able to be sure that technology can reach that area. If I put more effort into investing and collaborating with the Dwarves, my dissatisfaction will decrease.”
It’s great to find the positive side in the middle of it. As she nodded her head in satisfaction and smiled as she removed the helmet, Esmuer stopped moving due to a new sense of closeness. Staring straight at me with such shining golden eyes, she nodded again as if she had made up her mind before opening her mouth.
“Do you know?”
“what?”
“Sometimes, they say that you have to take a day off from being a little faithful to your desires so that your body and mind, sharpened by work, can rest and move on to the next one. I mean.”
…what? Isn’t this what I said to make Esmuer into a cake-eating hamster? Esmuer smiled as he looked at the change within a short period of time, when vague memories turned into certainty.
“I think the opening is a very persuasive and valid story.”
“Why are you suddenly saying that…?”
“Because today is the day.”
With that dainty smile, Esmuer lightly kissed her.
It wasn’t as long as last time. However, instead of being short and fast, she kissed me to the point where I could definitely feel it.
“I’m so glad you came back safely.”
In a way, it was a really absurd expression of affection and belated greetings, but I couldn’t even properly refute.
“Your size is distracting, but you really are infinitely squeamish in this respect. Shouldn’t you kiss one more time at a time like this?”
Instead of answering, I discreetly lifted her up and sat down next to her, and I turned my head away from Esmuer, who smiled at my face, which must have already turned bright red, and looked out the window.
Naturally, nothing could be seen through the curtained windows.
