Episode 698 The Future is Important

Luna stared blankly at the fire sword.

Roy shook her slightly as if telling her to accept it, but Luna didn’t waver. Unlike before, she seemed more cautious.

“Luna?”

“… … You haven’t said this to anyone else, have you?”

“I didn’t. You are the first and the last. The fire sword will be made only for you.”

“Just a fire sword? Then, things like a fire axe or a fire hammer… … .”

“I won’t make it.”

“I’m joking. You can make it. Just tell me first. That’ll be fine.”

“okay.”

Roy nodded vigorously as if he was promising. Only then did Luna accept the fire sword.

It disappeared as soon as I accepted it.

It was close. Roy let out a sigh of relief.

It’s fortunate that Luna received it before the fire sword disappeared. I have a feeling that if the fire sword disappeared before that, the results would have been worse.

It felt as if I had just barely accepted the apology.

Maybe I’ll continue to feel this way for a while. I don’t think I should feel safe just because I’ve had the appointment ceremony and been given the sword.

The important thing was from now on.

Luna also pointed that out.

“First of all, I think we need to increase the duration a bit.”

“That’s right.”

“How long will it last if I max it out now?”

“well.”

Roy scratched the back of his head as if he didn’t know. He didn’t want to give people unnecessary disappointment or anticipation, and more than anything, he didn’t know the exact duration.

This is because the fire sword, which should have been maintained for about 1 minute every 30 minutes, has far surpassed that efficiency this time.

When I first made the fire sword, it lasted for over a minute with only a few seconds of casting, and when I made the second fire sword, it lasted for the same amount of time or longer than the casting time.

The question is whether we can do this again… … .

Somehow I felt unsure. I thought I could achieve it someday if I kept practicing, but I didn’t think I could do it right now.

It’s like we can’t recreate the time slowdown we experienced when fighting the ogre.

“I think I’ll have to try it to find out for sure.”

“Hmm. Then what about the size?”

“Size doesn’t matter. Why, would you like it bigger?”

“Yes. It’s light. Of course, bigger is better.”

That’s the truth.

That is, if it is a sword.

“If it’s too big, it’ll be hot and difficult.”

“Oh, can you make it hot too?”

“Of course. I made it not hot on purpose. It was hot originally. Fire Endurance magic is a must.”

“If you have all that, how big can you make it?”

“well.”

Although he said that size doesn’t matter, it seems like it would be difficult to make a sword that’s over 10 meters long like his own fire sword.

In the end, Roy said that two or three meters might be possible.

“Make it bigger?”

“Yes. Please make it three meters.”

“Then it would be incredibly hot. No, aside from the fact that it’s hot, would you be able to carry it around?”

“Why are you carrying it around? Didn’t Roy make it for you whenever you needed it?”

“ah.”

While he had thought of a semi-permanent sword, Luna seemed to have thought of a sword that could be used in actual combat.

At that level, I wondered what would happen.

There is the question of whether the sword can be present whenever needed, but that is not the issue now.

“I’ll make it for you. Should I try it now?”

“Can you do it?”

“I’ll try. But wait a minute.”

Roy first cast the Fire Endurance spell on Luna’s clothes.

I wasn’t going to make it hot, but I didn’t know. I’ve never made a fire sword over 3 meters long before.

The shape should be exactly the same as Luna’s.

“Just wait a moment.”

“yes.”

Luna sat down on the bed as if telling Roy not to worry about her. Thanks to her, Roy was able to concentrate to his heart’s content.

I imagined Luna in front of me. In my imagination, Luna was swinging a large sword and cutting down a group of orcs.

It went together better than I thought. I thought it would be okay to make it bigger if it felt like this.

Of course, later.

Even if we wanted to make it bigger now, we couldn’t do that due to the nature of the hotel room.

When I actually tried to pull it out, it was more than big enough to be 3 meters long.

I wanted to pull it out of thin air nicely… … .

In the end, Roy chose to make the handle first and then the blade.

Of course, Luna was satisfied with that alone. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the sword growing from the handle.

“Don’t swing it, the ceiling is low.”

“yes.”

Luna nodded as if to tell him not to worry and accepted the fire sword.

Fortunately, this time, the expression was the same as the first time. Luna was happy, as if she had gotten a new toy.

Roy was convinced after seeing that sight.

I’m saying that Luna didn’t become a mercenary and an expert solely for her own sake.

That expression was one that no one but an inspector could possibly make.

One of my wishes, that I want to be with you, touch you, and think of you sometimes even when we’re apart, was fulfilled by Bulgeomman.

“Do you like the shape and size?”

“yes.”

“That’s good. Then let’s do that for now. Even from my perspective, that seems more than enough. I think I can cut down two or three orcs at once.”

“What about the ogre?”

“Ogre?”

“Yes. Can I catch an ogre with this?”

Luna asked with an expectant look on her face.

I heard the rumor. He must know that he and Irina caught the ogre together.

Now I see, there was a reason I said it didn’t help.

What should I do?

“Ogres are tough.”

“is it so?”

“Yeah. Irina also caught it after taking a potion.”

“Is it a potion?”

“You’ve probably heard of it. It’s a potion that makes your body two to three times faster. I drank it during the Arpen War.”

“Then if I drink that too… … .”

“You can’t do that. It’s dangerous if you’re not an expert.”

“okay.”

The sword disappeared along with the answer. Luna hung her head in disappointment.

But that was only for a moment, and soon he began to examine his own body. It was clear that he thought that if he lost muscle, he would be a little faster.

But ogres are tough… … .

Roy stopped himself from telling the truth. There was no need to start over.

It was up to Luna to realize that fact. All she had to do was increase the duration so that Luna could focus solely on the fire sword.

Even the fire sword that was made with so much effort couldn’t even last two minutes. As expected, it didn’t work out like the first and second fire swords.

Of course, it has developed a lot since it was in Daesurim.

If it lasted a little over a minute after casting for a little under 10 minutes, it wasn’t bad. 1 hour would be 6 minutes, and 10 hours would be 1 hour.

In theory, yes.

I feel sorry for Luna, but it doesn’t make sense to think about her all day.

That is, you have to practice diligently so that you can maintain it for an hour just by thinking about it occasionally.

For now, I decided to do it intermittently while installing the fireball.

When I made that decision, the hood suddenly moved.

“What is he?”

“A new familiar. I caught it in the forest.”

“Is it a cat? What’s its name?”

“rani.”

“Raniyah.”

Luna called Rani as if she was calling a puppy. Surprisingly, Rani obediently approached her and rubbed her body.

He was in the hood the whole time we were talking, too. He definitely knows how to read the mood.

Rani knew exactly what to do now.

Is that why?

Not long after, I heard from Luna that she would be returning to Arpen.

It would take some time to get back with the kids, but it was important that I get back.

And Rani, big or small, definitely played a part in it. I should at least feed her some blood on the way back to the prize.

Rani cried softly, wondering if she liked the reward.

Roy, who returned to Arpen after flying all night, went about his daily routine as if nothing had happened.

Whether or not word got out that I had been to Segemor, I had to do what I had to do.

I had to check the ogre ice, set up the fireballs, and teach Dread the waterman.

And of course, the rest of the time is all about training.

Originally, I was only going to use Fire Endurance and Fire Sword until Luna came… … .

My mind changed. No matter how much I thought about it, it seemed like I needed to practice arrow shooting and fish-shaped flames.

Of course, the partner was Mila.

Luna realized that just because you’re in the same house doesn’t mean you’re together.

Suddenly, I wondered if Mila was also being neglected.

Even Mila has a history of running away from home in the past.

Whatever the reason, there’s no reason why we shouldn’t go out again. It seemed like we needed to do something together before that.

Of course, if it’s magic training, it’s even better.

“So, is the time okay?”

“It’s okay now. And it’s not like I can’t do it just because the time isn’t okay, right?”

“That’s true. I have no one else to ask but you.”

“… … Since I already said I would do it, you don’t have to say that. When should I start?”

“While we’re on the subject, let’s go right away. Bring your bow.”

“Can I just take the bow?”

“Yeah. I bought some arrows.”

Of course, it was a tipless arrow. Even if you didn’t know about the fish-shaped flame, you couldn’t use an arrow with a tip to shoot arrows.

“I’ll wait here.”

“all right.”

While Mila went to get the bow, Roy took out the sleeping bag he had received from Firen and attached it to Nof.

After a while, Mila, who had come with a bow, stopped walking when she saw Nop. To be exact, she stopped when she saw the sleeping bag.

“Would you like to ride with me?”

“Yeah. We can’t go there on horseback. When are we going to the forest?”

“It doesn’t take that long.”

“You can’t keep going back and forth like that.”

Roy got into his sleeping bag first and then looked at Mila. Fortunately, Mila didn’t hesitate for long.

“It’s narrow.”

“Just hold on a little longer.”

I suddenly wondered if I should have connected the two sleeping bags, but it was only for a moment.

I just had to endure it for a little while, but I didn’t want to go through the hassle.

Actually, it arrived quickly.

“It’s fast.”

“Look at that.”

Quack!

“What did you say?”

“You think I’m great? So, what should I start practicing?”

“Roy has to decide.”

“Hmm. Should we start by shooting arrows?”

“is it so.”

The two immediately prepared to practice.

Of course, there wasn’t much to do. All I had to do was hand over the arrow, gain some distance, and then pull out the fire sword.

“Shoot?”

“Yeah. I’m just saying this just in case, but you should only shoot at the places with the iron plates.”

“all right.”

Mila nodded and took up her bow and arrows. Roy also took up his sword and prepared to attack.

I wonder how many of them I can hit?

The answer came sooner than I thought. I knew it from the moment the first arrow flew.

And that ominous prediction did not go astray until all the arrows he had brought were shot.

“Roy.”

“… … The arrows are sharp.”

It’s not an excuse, it’s really tough. It feels harder than when I was training with Ward.

I don’t think there is a difference in skill… … .

Is it because of the arrow?

I have a strong feeling that it is like that. That is because when I was training with Ward, I used to carve and make arrows myself.

But now, it’s a proper arrow that you can buy with money. Unlike wards, you don’t have to worry about it flying to the wrong place.

And the difference was bigger than I thought.

“Let’s do it one more time.”

“I don’t think there’s any point in trying this practice.”

“Don’t be like that. You have to keep doing it. It will only get better.”

Although he said that, to be honest, he didn’t do it because he wanted to.

It was difficult, and I felt like my skills hadn’t improved much compared to the training, so I felt like it was a waste of time.

Then why do you do it?

It’s because of Luna.

Now that I’ve finally gotten to use the fire sword, shouldn’t I at least learn how to shoot arrows?

And the only person who can do that training here is Mila.

In other words, he is doing this because he wants to train with Mila and Luna, since it would be awkward to let them train separately.

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with learning how to shoot arrows.

… …if you can learn it.

“Let’s stop this.”

“I think that would be good too.”
