67 – Soft Touch

Flutter-

I put my hands in the pockets on my waist and naturally used , Took out a large blanket from the subspace and spread it on the floor.

“…Wow”

Then he carefully laid the fainting Miris on the blanket.

“…….”

Sue-

Miris fell asleep immediately after passing out, probably from fatigue.

‘… Well, from the first time we met in the park, he seemed a bit tired, as if he hadn’t slept.’

I didn’t know when I was having fun in the commercial district in that tired state, but after passing out once, it seemed that the fatigue came at once.

I let out a shallow breath and smiled slightly as I looked at Miris who was soundly asleep.

‘… Somehow, it reminds me of my younger brother in elementary school who couldn’t sleep because he was so excited the day before the picnic, and fell asleep at the picnic site.’

I lightly stroked the soft light pink hair of the sleeping Miris and cast my gaze at Key Cross, who was wrapping In front of her eyes.

“From now on, don’t openly talk about such delicate details, why don’t you secretly tell the owner of the item?”

I narrowed my eyes slightly and said to Keycross.

Perhaps he reflected on his kicross as well, and apologized with a shy expression.

“Ah, hahahaha. Sorry, I’m sorry. The item I made with great care goes to its owner, so I must have been excited without realizing it. …I want to apologize to Miris, but it’s too much right now. I’ll apologize properly the next time I see it. “

“That’s all right.”

The victim is Miris, so I don’t have anything more to say here.

I cut off this topic and moved on to the next one.

“Now it’s my turn to do my business.”

“Oh! Come to think of it, our chief’s work is still left. What kind of equipment did our chief come to see me for?”

“Ah, what I want is not purchasing equipment——”

Pretending to take it out of my pocket, I took out an object from the subspace.

Duck-

“──It’s equipment modification.”

What I took out was a full-plate armor made of extremely thin iron plates, full body armor that I doubted its practicality.

“This is——”

Kikros looked closely at the full body armor I took out and put on a complex and subtle expression, as if he missed it, as if he was ashamed, but as if he was proud.

And then, he looked at me with a slightly softer expression than before and said.

“──It’s an item I made when I was 10 years old.”

『Item』: Trial NO. 349

Rating: C

Description: Full body armor with special abilities created by a young genius who excelled in all crafting skills during his inexperienced childhood.

Metallurgy, alchemy, sorcery, etc. This armor, in which all sorts of techniques were put into its production, is incredibly light and flexible, making it incredibly mobile….

If magic is not applied to the armor, it has the disadvantage of being very soft enough to be crumpled by a child’s sling.

– ‘Partial hardening’ can be activated when magic is applied to the armor. 』

Yes.

What I took out was an item imbued with memories of her, which she made when she was young, created with all her strength by mixing all the crafting skills she had learned at the time.

Just by using this, it was an item that could make a certain impression on her creator.

‘That’s why I deliberately chose it from the C-rank set equipment that was a quest reward during the entrance exam. If I can gain some level of trust from her, a tier 1 production person, from the first meeting, that’s a big gain.’

Ah, for reference, the weapon I chose from the options is the staff I carry when I am Mistiltein. An ordinary C-rank staff that moderately increases the magic power consumption rate and the power of magic.

There is a sword obtained from Girard as the weapon to use when Lee Seon-woo, so I chose the staff to use when Mistiltein.

“…Besides, you didn’t just have this, did you actually use it in real combat?”

Key Cross said that with a slightly proud expression, stroking the fine scars left on his armor with his fingers.

‘Hmm, I did well to use it when going around the dungeon.’

Looking at her bright face, she said it was worth using in the dungeon on purpose.

You’ll get a good impression if you just bring it, but you’ll get a better impression if the armor has traces of actual use.

“After I made it, I thought, ‘Is there anyone who can use such a picky performance armor?’ I thought… you used it really well…”

Keycross speaks with admiration. As much as she said that, this armor was a tricky item to ride the user.

‘Because the hardness is so weak that even a goblin’s stone sling will crumple it like a beer can if you don’t give it magical power.’

But if you apply magic power to all of the armor, it will consume enough magic power that even a superhuman can’t ignore, and the joints will harden, making it difficult to move… It literally becomes a coffin in the form of armor.

Theoretically, if you can block an attack by instantly concentrating and hardening your magical energy only on the part the enemy is attacking, you can get a defense that is not enviable even with B-class armor….

Will that really work in a frantic battle situation?

And if you are a strong person who has reached the point where it is possible, use a good item of a higher grade, there is no reason to use this tricky item.

… Well, with , I can immediately see where I am going to be attacked, so I can bring out nearly 100% of this equipment’s performance, so it’s very useful, but….

“So, how are you going to remodel this? After all, it’s normal to increase the overall defense… But somehow, I don’t think our chief will do that! …Ah! And what material are you going to use for remodeling?”

I took out the material to be used for remodeling the armor while smiling at Keycross who quickly asked with eyes full of interest.

Kung-

What was placed in the studio with a heavy sound—

“Three, my God…?!. This is…!!!”

──It was the corpse of the boss of Nol Plain, ‘Blue Light Cantata’.

“…Looking at the remaining magic power contained in the corpse…At least, it is the material of a C+ grade dungeon boss…. Besides, this brain energy emanating from the corpse……!!!”

Keycross was examining the corpse of a large monster over 2 meters tall that was still emitting weak brain energy with ecstatic eyes.

I want to use the rare material right in front of me… It was the gaze of a craftsman full of greed and inquisitiveness.

“Use this to modify that armor.”

“…Really okay? This, if you put it on the auction house, it will cost about 500 gold… No, it’s a rare material that can go up to 1000 gold if you do well?

To Key Cross, who couldn’t take his eyes off the material while saying that, I raised the corner of his mouth provocatively and said.

“I came here because I thought you could handle this material well………Are you not confident?”

“……Ahahahaha!!!”

At my provocation, Keycross laughed out loud, then said with a confident smile.

“Our chief knows very well how to motivate craftsmen…!!! Okay!!! If you believe so, I’ll make you a very useful guy in the name of production and chief…!!!”

Looking at Keycross talking confidently, I also smiled with satisfaction.

‘…… Is it a dream?’

Miris thought so with her dreamy head as she sat on her muscular back.

The back that is cozy, warm, and reassuring is definitely the back of her grandfather who raised her.

‘…… Whoa, the last time her grandfather carried her was when she was 10 years old. Coming out as a dream like this, did you miss your home a little? …… But since it’s a dream, can I be a little more childish?’

Miris acted foolishly, burying her face in her grandfather’s back, on her back.

If you take a deep breath here, you can smell the ripe wheat fields that the old man does the farming for. ….

…… Smell?

‘…… What?’

As Miris took a deep breath by her grandfather’s side, she began to wake up not to the scent of the fields she was smelling, but to the strangely pounding scent of her body.

‘… I feel like I’ve been in charge of it somewhere……. No, more than that, why did I fall asleep…… ?’

The fluffy accident started to become more and more clear.

‘So, I’m sure today with Seonwoo………. Ah.’

Miris barely remembered the situation before falling asleep.

‘Obviously, I fainted from embarrassment…. Maybe the fatigue from last night’s inability to sleep came over me and I fell asleep…. She’s a nuisance to Mr. Seonwoo……. What?’

Then, the owner of this cozy back on her back is……

Her soft and kind voice was heard by Miris, who had been crazy about her until that point.

“Ah, are you awake, Miris?”

“Hey…?! Seon, Seon, Seonwoo…?!”

As if she had been hit by ice-cold water, what she saw when Miris, who was startled and came to her senses, lifted her head.

It was Lee Seon-woo carrying himself and a view of loving-kindness dyed in the clear and warm glow of the sunset.

“I’m sorry…!!!”

“No, it’s okay. Are you tired?”

Realizing that Seonwoo Lee had carried her to the front of her dormitory because she fell asleep, Miris apologized with a teary face on her face, and Seonwoo Lee just smiled softly and carefully lowered her Miris. .

‘Huh… ! Uh, how about… !? Even if I can’t be nice to Mr. Seonwoo, who made time for me at my request, I, what kind of misdemeanor did I do… !!!’

Seeing Miris with her head down and unable to lift her head in apologetic ways, Lee Seon-wu moved closer and opened her mouth.

“Miris, can you hold her head up for a moment?”

“Yes…? Hey…?!”

When Miris looked up, she saw Lee Seon-wu, who was right in front of her and looked down at her, and felt her heart race.

Her heart beating wildly as if it were going to explode, and her face so hot that even he could tell that her face was completely red.

With her eyes wide open, Miris could do nothing but stare at the face of Seonwoo Lee, who was slowly approaching her.

And the moment she confirmed that Seonwoo Lee’s hands were wrapped around her neck, her eyes began to close naturally.

When Miris pressed her hand to her pounding heart, she was quietly anticipating what was to come.

Charleuk-

“Okay, that’s it.”

With the feeling of something being caught in his throat, Lee Seon-woo’s face moved away.

“……Ah”

She involuntarily let out her sigh of regret, and Miris looked down at the thing hanging from her own neck.

“Is this… Rosario?”

“This is my present, Miris.”

The thing hanging around Miris’ neck was a golden rosary with elaborate patterns engraved on it.

“It’s only once, but it will help you when you’re in danger.”

Miris gently touched the rosary around her neck.

Even though she is made of metal, Miris smiled involuntarily at the warmth she could feel.

And as if Miris had made up her mind about something, she opened her mouth to the laughing Lee Seon-woo.

“…Seonwoo. Could you lower your head for a moment?”

“Huh?”

“Wait a minute, please.”

At the words of Miris, who had a dreamy atmosphere somewhere, Seonwoo Lee lowered his head in good faith.

The moment I realized that bright pink hair resembling cherry blossoms and beautiful golden eyes were right in front of me.

Page-

He felt her soft touch touch his lips.

“I’m really glad I met Seonwoo.”

Looking at Lee Seon-wu, who looked blankly at herself while stroking her lips, Miris smiled as if a cherry blossom had bloomed.
