World Strongest Rearguard – Labyrinth Country and Dungeon Seekers

When Mr. Ceres comes before me, he smiles happily when he alternates between Theresia and me - what a nostalgia, but he makes me a little nervous when I get my gaze on him because he looks too neat.

"But some people are funny. Even if you hire a sub as a mercenary, few people want to take you... and you seem well admired. For ever since I came out, I have stood guard over Alicht."

…………

"Theresia, you don't have to be vigilant about Mr. Ceres... No, should I be vigilant? It's normal to think there's something behind running a blacksmith using moving armor."

"Seriously, you're not right... and what makes you say that. If I'm suspicious, there's no way I can reveal so much pepper in my hand. You said you spoke to the Lord in a broken stomach because you liked him, but you didn't say anything cold."

Only a girl can see the workshop owner blurring while touching the flax colored hair made into three thin braids.

"Customer, it is very unusual for parents to show themselves. I can't help but think it's suspicious, but please believe me. If you leave it to us, I promise you more work than you can do. '

Mr. Steiner puts his hand on his chest, like a knight in armor - apparently, in a salute position.

"No, I'm not seriously suspicious. If you just reveal that many secrets, some parts of me wonder if they're really good... can you trust me that much when you first meet me?

"It's not so much about secrets. If you're not afraid of misunderstandings, I like your Lord. I don't hate walking in town with the Subhumans, always caring about each other. Because it's not a sight you see more often than you think."

"I don't really care about Theresia because she's a sub or anything like that from the beginning. I don't think it's a good idea, but I want to put it back where it was."

'... it's not great. Master, this person...'

"Mm-hmm. I know that path is not easy, and if you still want it, I will spare every cooperation. Come on, sir, what kind of work do you want this workshop to do?

I showed them the ore, the demon stone, the rune I had.

"Hmm," Ermina Iron "is two and" Poison Crystal Stone, "" Eye Stone, "" Confusion Stone "... and this rune. It's not the Rune of Magia."

"Magia...... what happens when you put it on?

"We can convert weapon attacks into magic attacks. Physical attacks can be an effective means against monsters and other things that come in a painful counterattack, but in combination with other runes, the possibilities expand even further. We'll need more than two slots."

Does weapon enhancement in a rune mean that it can be combined using multiple precious runes before it reaches its pinnacle? But for once, let the devil's rune be on my sling. There is also one slot for Mr. Fifty Storms' weapon armor, so I would like to fill the hole slowly.

"It's this sandalwood sling, can I have the rune fitted?

"Um, let's be good. I can incorporate up to three demon stones, but do I keep them all in? Whether it's a physical attack or a magic attack, you'll be able to grant an anomaly to your opponent."

"Yeah, nice to meet you. Ermina, what can iron be used for?

"It's a reinforcement of protective equipment. It can also be used to strengthen weapons, but the best advantage is that the Ermina iron is light and durable."

"I see... but I haven't brought my buddy's protective gear, so what do you do?"

"We'll have to arrange a haulier to bring it. If you're the leader of the party, you can license your buddies' gear. If you choose something to process, I'll arrange it for you."

"Thank you. Is there anything in this that you should enhance?

"Well... if these daughters are equipped, it would be nice to have a larger defense range due to reinforcement"

Mr. Fifty Storms, the Teresian armor is strong enough and hard to tell the change even if it is reinforced, but it seems to perform visibly better when it comes to the Misaki and Suzuna armor.

He added a protector to his Suzuna torso gear to protect his chest to make it easier for bows to shoot, and asked for the same machining for his misaki. It became '+1', which he said would increase his defense performance and make it lighter.

"Then we will finish Atobe's weapon by the time the armor arrives."

"Um, I'm gonna fix the rune on the rune slot first. Don't force it to peel off when removing it, but leave it to a specialist craftsman. You can't stay in this district long enough to get something like this."

"Whenever possible, I'll bring it in here. We have a merchant in our company, so I think we can request processing from a remote location."

"He would say something pleasant. Well, call me when you get your precious rune. I think it's safer."

That's what Mr. Ceres said and laughed at, but when he received my weapon and embedded the rune in the rune slot, he turned to a serious look.

"Powerful letters, be one with the lifeless......" Enchantreoon "!

◆ Current situation ◆

-Seres activates' Enchant Roon ' Success

· "Sling of Sandalwood" changes to "What Releases Black Demon Bullets"

"Eh... not at all like processing with demon stones..."

"It seems to have worked… because it is said that the weapon granted the rune will change the meaning of being itself. It's fundamentally different than wearing a magic stone."

"Next, I'll embed the demon stone in the pattern. It would be useful to have three types of attack."

Mr. Steiner, with his seemingly dexterity, activates the skill of 'Devil Stone Attachment' and inserts three Devil Stones into the sling. Then the plus came on, "What Releases Black Demon Bullets + 3". It looks so much stronger, but the blow it inflicts hasn't changed that much in itself.

Now we can use Supporting Attack 2 to add state anomalies to everyone's attacks. I would like to verify in my next exploration how effective it actually is. Remember that purple demon stones are poisonous, peach is confusing, and black and white are staring - that is, a stun effect.

"Rune should be transferred to you when he finds a strong weapon. I can find a relatively large number of 'Demon' runes, but I just said if I could find one every three months around the Eighth and Seventh Wards. It will take a lot of luck and time to gather just the magic stones to compress."

"Yes, thank you for sharing so much. And, uh, it's another eyestone... Teresia, which is better to prevent Stan or to stun your opponent?

…………

Theresia makes me try to have a short sword. If that's the case, let's have the weapon have a stun effect.

"Good for you, Teresia, because you're here with your husband, but if you don't have any presents, you're lonely."

"Huh..."

Teresia was terribly surprised and probably shook her head. Seems very reluctant - I know her depth of caution well, but I didn't expect her to react so much.

"………………"

"Wow, I know. It's a little different than a gift just to enhance your Teresian gear."

…………

I was going to follow up, but Theresia got sloppy the other way around. I want a present, but it seems to me that I panicked because I'm embarrassed.

"I'm telling you, gifts are not gifts in any way. Take it honestly."

…………

Teresia turns red again, but when I receive the finished sword, it touches the demonic stone on the pattern and looks at it with my fingertips - as if I love it. Is it my eyes?

"Take care of it, it seems. Alicht, I still like your lords. When you look at the Lord who keeps you through your heart with Theresia, you can tell that the world is not the only thing without salvation."

'It's been a long time since your husband liked humans. I usually leave it up to me when I do business, but I'm so rapped...'

"When I feel good, my mouth grows. Now, when the equipment is finished processing, it will be delivered to your lord's quarters. The address… well, it's still the top quarters."

When she writes about the location of Mrs. Orellus's residence, Ms. Ceres speaks with admiration. I still see that figure rather, and I want to hear it - I choose the words carefully because it might be disrespectful.

"Um, Mr. Ceres is now..."

"I am 115 this year, but I wonder if I will stop at 15. I don't know if I did it long ago... but if I live long enough, my memories will be blurred."

"Hundreds...... isn't that already like immortality?

"Time flies, it has nothing to do with any race. Living weakens the entrenchment of the soul and the flesh one by one, and at the end of the day, it is reborn into another flesh so that it can be peeled off. We're not just saying that the cycle is longer than the rest of the species."

When I was reincarnated, I felt like I was overflowing with life - as if I had been reborn. It is believed that this is because the soul has moved to a new flesh.

In the labyrinth country, the existence of the 'soul' is proven. If he dies, it's not over yet, it's that he has a chance of being resurrected.

"Some of the top searchers choose to be even more 'reincarnated' in this labyrinth country, he said. Because the soul also wears off, it is said that living for a thousand years or so is the limit. For this reason, it does not mean that only our species can live long. It is not possible for any race, as long as you are prepared"

"That's amazing... can Mr. Ceres live for hundreds of years?

"Hmm, I don't know what to do. Because some of them are 150 and die of aging as young as they are. Hopefully, I'll have to inherit blood before I die... hmm?

Theresia stands in front of me and spreads her hands to the side - is she protecting me? No, I don't think Mr. Ceres said that in that sense either.

"Pfft... don't worry, I don't think about that in one day just because I liked it too. Don't let Alicht feel a woman at such a young age."

"Uh... sorry, what can I comment on..."

"What, you still think you're a child? It's boring... and it's so fun to make fun of young men."

Says Mr Ceres, laughing at the heels. The trick of hiding your mouth with the sleeves of a robe and laughing feels luscious even when you look like a girl - I guess that comes from the length of time you live.

That's when the doorbell rings and Mr. Steiner responds. Apparently, the protective equipment to be processed has been sent. Suzuna and Misaki torso protective equipment were brought in.

"... it's just protective gear for women. Alicht, you may gather your companions as you desire, but restrain yourself from damaging your lower back, the life of the Seeker."

"I think I'm just a woman myself, but I'm not doing that for you... hey Theresia, right?

…………

"Your husband's lady lover has trouble with that face. If you get depressed, you just have to push it down. I hear men are vulnerable to faits accomplis."

"Huh..."

I don't know what to say - Theresia went bright red at once and went outside. And he wants this one out of the shadow of the door.

"Master Ceres is in some trouble like this, but please ask for your help with a wide heart. Because I will study the price '

Mr Steiner says by tapping his own chest armor. It won't mean it'll be fatally awkward with Theresia, but I'm pretty sure she'll be shy for a while and she won't be able to overact.
