"You've given me a very difficult order again. I'll do it, though.

　When his friend asked him and the Purple Demon King to go to Lord Tallid's blacksmith shop and ask for his help in making magic tools, he easily agreed.
　You'll be able to find a lot of people who are interested in this sort of thing.

"You're the man, Mr. Tallid!　You are very reliable!
"Flattery won't make the delivery time or cost any easier. But that brother of yours has come a long way since I last saw him. From being a companion of the Iliad to now being on par with His Majesty.

　I wondered if I should tell the truth to Toruid-dono, but he easily saw through Duvraeori-dono at first glance, saying, "You're not human.
　I didn't feel like I could hide it even if I tried, so I decided to explain it honestly and try to persuade him. In the end, most of the story I thought of to persuade him ended up in vain.

"So, do you have a blueprint or something?
Not really a blueprint, just a diagram of how it works.
Let me see. ...... It's similar to putting an enchantment on it.
I'm sure you're right.　But you have to incorporate more magic into it.

　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get the best out of it.
　This is the case with the gauntlets used by Parshero, the man who attacked your friend.
　Enchanted weapons are powerful, but they have many drawbacks.
　For one thing, they are not very fuel efficient. It takes more magic power than usual to cast a spell using a magic structure prepared by someone else.
　In the case of my knife, I made it by hand from the very beginning, so it is not that much of a burden, but if it is a weapon from another work, it is not suitable for actual use unless you are confident in your magic power.
　Next is quality. In order to create a complex magical structure, you need to have enough space to carve the magic stone or formula.
　Inevitably, the strength and sharpness of the weapon will be lower than that of a normal weapon made by a master.
　The gauntlet used by Parshero was not a good weapon even though the black flame was a threat.
　Enchanted weapons can be a threat if you are skilled enough to use them, but if you are skilled enough to use them, it is often better to train in a straightforward manner.
　It's risky to not be able to replace your weapon when it breaks.
　In the case of magic tools, I heard that these two points can be improved to a certain extent. The low fuel consumption is due to the fact that the magic tool learns the user's magic power and magic construction habits, and the strength of the magic tool is expected to be higher than that of a normal enchanted weapon.
　I'm sure the quality of Gillista's magic sword, which can go head to head with the magic-enhanced Lord Ratzel, is highly believable.

Can you get the demon?
No problem.　If you need them now, I'll leave some for you.

　With that, the Purple Demon King took out a purple gem and pointed it at the ground.
　Then a demon crawls out of it and lies on the ground.
　Lord Toluid's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he showed no sign of being disturbed. That's great.

I'm sure you're not the only one.
I'm sure you'll agree.　Shall I take it to the back?
Demonology is not my area of expertise. We only need to get a mold of the gem. The size seems to be sparse, but the shape is to your liking, isn't it?
Yes, there are three basic sizes, and I already know what size I'm going to use for the spell.
I'm going to get some clay for the mold. Wait a moment.

　Then Lord Tallid walked to the back of the room.
　He knows my status, but he treats me as an adventurer.
　That kind of nonchalant attitude makes me feel at home.

......
......

　But that being said, this combination is quite awkward.
　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.
I'm not sure.　And purple is fine, okay?

　Mug, he saw through my hesitation in calling him the Purple Demon King. ....... I thought it was kind of familiar to call him like a friend, but if he says so, then .......

I'm not sure what to say. I've been watching the Blue Demon King and I thought he only allowed people who were close to him to call him that.
"I don't like being called that by anyone, okay?　But since you're his associate, I think you're close enough to him, don't you?
And I thought you were not interested in anyone but your friends.
You don't deny it, do you?　You're not interested in me personally, are you?

　Well, it's hard to feel bad when you're so refreshing. I guess I should just be happy that I'm not as distant as I thought.

Being out of sight can be quite lonely.
"Oh, no, it's not.　Because I'm jealous of you.

　The relationship between you and your friend is good, but it is not as close as the relationship between you and Murasaki-dono.
　I tried to turn my head to the unexpected words, but it didn't seem to make sense.

Oh, what do you mean by that?　If it's a friend of yours, I'm sure you'll find him more desirable.
I'm glad to hear that.　It's worth the effort, isn't it?　But I'm greedy, you know.　I envy him his entire relationship with another woman. Because I get to see things about him that he doesn't show me.


"...... I see.

　In the event that you have any questions regarding where and the best way to get in touch with us, please do not hesitate to contact us.
　If she wanted all of your friends, she would envy you no matter what kind of relationship you have with them. ...... It's deep.

"Have you thought about his relationship with the other girls now?　Who do you envy the most in your relationship?
"Well, I'd have to say ...... his relationship with Lord Ratzel on the female side. It takes courage to be in a relationship where you can say exactly what you want to say to each other.
I'm sure you'll be very happy to hear that.　I'm sure you're jealous, but if you're a woman, does that mean your first thought is about your relationship with a man?
Yes, it would have to be your relationship with your brother!

　My brother and his friend are both respected people, and just looking at their relationship without regard to their status is heartwarming.
　I'd like to see either of them replaced, but even if I did, they'd be different. ....... I'd like to see them both replaced, but if I were replaced, it would be something different. ...... It would be a ridiculous one-man show for me.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand.　Is it that good?
"Of course I am!　When your friend speaks with you, the tension in his heart melts away, like ice melting off each other's hearts!　It's a treat to watch!
Yes, yes ....... But he's certainly very distant with his own s*x.

　Lord Ecdysius, Lord Harkdock, and Lord Dmitri Kovkon all make a good combination. I'm not going to concede that my relationship with my brother is the best.

I'm happy to be treated as the opposite s*x, but it's a luxury I can't afford.
You're not much of a pushover, are you?
That's because ...... your friend doesn't like excessive contact.
Oh, is that a reflection on me?
No way!　One or two people are fine!　One or two people are fine, but if everyone is courting your friend, he might get fed up with it.
It doesn't look like it, but ...... after all, he won't reject you, will he?
He's still a person, he'll choose. I don't want to be the one who chooses the other world instead of this one.
"The original world: ....... But I'm sure he feels comfortable in this world, don't you?
"But your friend sometimes refers to the world he came from as 'this one. Haven't you experienced that?

　Sometimes when we're having a conversation, I think, 'Oh,' but this seems to be a habit of your friend.
　When he speaks consciously, he uses phrases such as "the other side of the world", but when he says it casually, he says "this side of the world".
　It's unlikely that I'll misunderstand him from the back and forth, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels strange about it.
Murasaki-dono reminisced for a while. And then nodded in agreement.

"Yes, that's true, isn't it?
Your friend is still in love with his world - no, he still doesn't think of himself as a resident of this world.
So, when the time comes for him to return to ......, he will return to his world?
It's very possible. But as a person who has heard about your friend's past, the choice to stay here should be appealing enough. I'm the one who wants him to stay. I want to make the world a better place for your friend.

　I had become an adventurer to escape from my brother, but I had made friends in my own way. But for you, the only person you can truly call a friend is still your friend.
　I can't imagine how lonely he will be without his friends. Just thinking about it makes my heart tighten and ache.
　...... will also leave a big hole in my heart.

...... Good. I'll help you with that idea, won't I?
What do you mean?
I'm going to give him such a wonderful life that he'll forget about his old world. I want to give him what he wants more than anything, though, don't you think?
Doesn't that mean it will be business as usual?
Not really, you know.　At least I'll try to refrain from wanting to make him uncomfortable or sad.　It's a shame, but it's a small price to pay for losing him, isn't it?

Lord Purple wanted to see all sides of his friend. That is to say, deep down in her heart, she had a hidden intention to make her friend miserable if the mood struck her.
　Well, I've done a good job, if I do say so myself. I'll reward myself next time.

"So, a secret alliance. ......
"Yeah, nice to meet you, Mix.

　I shake the hand offered to me. I was able to shake his hand without hesitation.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I'm so interested in you.
"Quite a bit, of course.　I'm sure you're not the only one.

　Mr. Duvraeoli, you've been looking at me with a very serious face for a while now. If you had a stomach like a human, you'd be full of holes.

　"Heck.

"Sneeze.
That's a cute sneeze.
You don't need to waste it. I'm sure someone's been talking about you. Maybe it's the mixers waiting for us.



　I've left Mikus and "Purple" alone, but they're okay, right?　I'm sure Duvraeoli is there, but he's in the background in front of the purple.
　Mixu has great worldly skills, and after all, they're both former princesses. I'm sure she'll do fine.
　Yeah, I'd like to believe she'll be better than Lakra. I mean, no one can be inspired by Lakra in her corrupt mode and become better.

The Mixtape also uses Thorid's blacksmith in the TARDIS. He's never taken a wrong turn, has he?
I'm not worried about that. The only thing I'm worried about is if I have to explain the situation to Mr. Tallid in a weird way that doesn't make things awkward.

　He's got a good sense of how to spot things. It's highly likely that he'll be able to see through Duvraeori's and Murasaki's identities.
　Still, he is a craftsman at heart. As long as you make sense to him, he will respond honestly. If it's a mix, he'll explain it gracefully, and if it's a mess, he'll do something about it .......

But to create a new magic tool that has left its mark on history?
I'm not sure how much use a prototype of a magic tool would be in this fight against the Scarlet Witch King.
"As for me, I think it would be better to use a weapon of higher quality, if only to increase my skills.
"The Iliad is a tricky thing. The Iliad is very focused. Such people are stronger when they are simple. But even when humans fight each other, there are techniques, right?　The properties of magic tools can be useful to break the balance.

　The level of magical enhancement in the Iliad is far beyond the purity of magical physical enhancement.
　In the first place, Tarzan's knights in general are monsters. They don't need magic, and they have passive skills that are more than just magic enhancement buffs. It's a good thing I'm not a buffer.
　Wolfe's magic manipulation is also out of the ordinary due to the influence of Gradna. If there is a magic tool that can be used by these two, it should be one that does not require manipulation at the same time as the act of fighting.
　It's a passive tool that automatically restores your strength or something like that. This time, the purple is only working on the kind that can activate the characteristics using magic power, so the development of magic tools for the type of these two is a matter for another time.

I don't really like the idea of fighting with the strength of your weapon.
Don't say that in front of the Mix.
Of course I do!

　The reason why Mixu likes to fight in different ways is because she uses her quick mind as an advantage.
　Even if she doesn't have any physical martial arts talent, having a way to defeat the strong is proof of her strength.
　However, even Mixu can't help but feel a bit inferior to high-spec opponents like Ilias and Wolfe.
　No matter how hard he tries, Mixu can't go toe to toe with Duvraeor.
　No, he's just too much of a gorilla.
　While I was doing this, I arrived at Thorid's blacksmith shop. There's a lot of noise inside.

What the hell is ...... doing here?

　When I entered, I found the three of them in the space where the weapons were displayed. That's all well and good, but the scene is a little strange.
　To be more specific, Mixu and Duvraeori are posing with their weapons.

"Oh, there you are, my friend!　I'm not sure if you've heard of this, but I'm sure you've heard of it.
It's important to have an element that attracts the eye when confronted.　Duvraeori, next time, hold it in your left and right hands.
Yes, sir.

　Duvraeoris, that's a two-handed greatsword. Duvvreoli, that's a double-handed greatsword, and I don't think you should be carrying a two-meter-long piece of steel around like that.

Intimidating, isn't it?
Not many people can fight with two weapons of that size.
Oh, really?　Do you think Ilias can?
Of course he can. Of course he can.

　"Of course I can do that." "How about that, Ilias? He's a real gorilla. Not just his arms, his head.

Don't compete with him. You can't pick and choose who gets to use your prototype.
"Oh, ......, that's a tough ......!
And you, Mix, you're competing with the wrong people.

　It's a good idea to take a look at the web site and see if you can find anything that might be of interest to you. I'm pretty sure I'd lose my back just holding one of these.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will help you out.
I'm not sure what to do.

　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've. I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not, but I'm sure you've heard of it.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.
I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not, but I have. You want to report to Marito that you've crushed your friend?
...... Good evasion. But when you think about it, the final touches will be done by the purple, so a lighter weapon would be better.
"You're right, aren't you?　So, Mikus, would you mind laying out all the knife-like weapons you have?　And gather up the Duvvlayori.
Yes, sir.
"Yay!

　The two of them are getting strangely close. They seem to have found something in common and have deepened their friendship.


　When Mikus first met the Demon King in Gurne, he was vaguely hostile and deadly. The same can be said for purple.
　The same can be said for the purple. Until now, Murasaki had rarely spoken to anyone other than me, Duvraeor, and the other Demon Lords. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.


"Oh?　Do I have something on my face?
"Same as always. Well, you look a little happy.
Well, it's a little fun, isn't it?　Are you jealous?

　Purple's smile is more relaxed now.
I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.
　But now there is none of that. I guess I've found someone like me and Marito who I can talk to easily without worrying about our positions.

"I'm not that possessive. I find it rather amusing.
"So, that's how you see me now?　--That's refreshing.
Yeah, for both of us.

　As a result, the prototype of the magic tool was based on a knife, and Mixu was appointed to test it.
　The creation of the magical tool began as a punishment, but it seems to have yielded more than expected.
