Chapter 278
Because the designs, which Nancys mom and Ringo drew up, were too unique, the silvers strength wasnt sufficient, so I came to consult with Gamudo-san for a new metal.
Hello.
Yo, Seiji. Did you bring a liquor again?
Is liquor your favourite phrase.?
Well, Ive brought one, though!
I held out a 96% alcohol strength vodka that I brought.
Ou, thank you as always.
Since this liquor is a strong one, please be careful.
Dont say such a stupid thing!
Liquor is something like a water for dwarves,
dont lump me together with the humans.
Is it really going to be alright?
Well, its fine since the person himself said that its alright.
By the way, Ive come today because theres something Id like to consult you with for a bit.
Consultation?What is it?Weapon?Armor?
No, Its a consultation about metal.
I asked about a metal which can be used for accessories.
Umu, if its that, then mithril might be good?
Its strength is higher than silver and its affinity with magic power is good, too~.
Its only going to be used as an accessory in Earth, so magic power wont be used, though~.
Then, may I have some mithril?
Since Ive always get amazing liquor from you, Id like to give you, butI wonder if theres some of it left.
Gamudo-san went inside to get mithril and returned immediately.
Sorry, theres only this.
The one Gamudo-san brought was a scrap of mithril around the size of a 100 Yen coin.
Where can I go to get mithril?
Because of the war with the devil-kin, most of the materials have been taken and changed into weapons and armors.~
You mightnt find it anywhere else unless you go to the Shinagas mines.
Shinaga, huh. Its where the Fire and Light Mana Crystal is located and Hildas hometown, but Ive passed by it last time.
Understood, Ill go there now.
Im sorry that I am unable to help even though I got the liquor.
Ah, thats right!I have to try this liquor.
Gamudo-san said so and downed the vodka with *kui*
*Batan!*
and fell backward just like that.
Wai-!Gamudo-san!!
Isnt it like water for dwarves!?
I carried Gamudo-san to bed and nursed him.
Shit!
For me, a dwarf, to fall because of a liquor!!Its a blunder of a lifetime.
Annoying.but, just another mouthful.
He seems to be quite alright.
I left Gamudos shop and decided to go home.
***
Since I stopped by at the different world on my way back from work on a weekday, it had become late at night, I went back home without going to Shinaga.
Onii-chan, were you able to get a good metal?
Aya greeted me.
Elena and Hilda seems to be taking a bath.
Weve talked about if a mithril might be good, but I was only able to get this.
I showed Aya the scrap of mithril.
If its something made of mithril, isnt there a few?
For instance, onii-chans sword.
Its no good since Im using it.
Youre not using it recently.
I will use it in case of emergency.
Then, what would you do?
I might be able to buy some if I go to Shinaga town.
Hmm,
But if its you, onii-chan, cant you create a mithril?
Create?Metal?
Alchemy doesnt exist, its impossible to do such a thing.
Is that so?
Is it really so?
I said it myself, but I felt like there might be some possible methods.
But, whats aMithril?
For now, I tried to appraise it.
Appraisal
Mithril
A silver containing magic power.
It possessed strength of steel.
It will not darken nor become dim.
Rarity:
Umu, silver seems to be the raw material,
but when I channeled magic power into silver, it doesnt become mithril.
*Pikon!*
Ive come up with something good.
You will be able create mithril?
I dont know yet.
I hold the scrap of mithril in my hand
Decomposition![1]
I decomposed the mithril usingLightning magic.
*para para*
The resultant silver powder and transparent powder were there.
When I appraised the silver powder, it wassilver.
And then
when I appraised the transparent powder
Appraisal
Powder of Magic Stone of Nullpo
A powdered Magic Stone of Nullpo.
Rarity:
Are you serious!?
Whats the matter, onii-chan?
It seems I will be able to make mithril with silver and Magic Stone of Nullpo.
Ooh, yehey!
I tried todecomposea large amount of Magic Stone of Nullpo.
*Para para*
I did it!
ThePowder of Magic Stone of Nullpowas completed.
Afterwards, when I mixed this with silver
Thepure silver, which I made bydecomposingsilver coin, and thePowder of Magic Stone of Nullpowere properly mixed and were put together usingMetal Control.
I had a little trouble turning back something powdery into metal, but
The mithril was completed.
However, its quality is a little poor.
When I usedAppraisal, it becameMithril -1.
Umu, did I get the quantity wrong?
I changed the quantity little by little and repeated the experiment in various ways.
In the middle of the experiment, Aya got tired and went back to her room.
And then, it was finally completed!
Mithril +3
It was a perfect quality.
Although its very light, its strong and has better hue than silver.
Its certainly a perfect metal.
Just you wait and see, Nancys mom, I will make an accessory with this perfect metal!!
Well, the problem of the design due to Ringo and Nancys mom isnt only this
Smeltingmagic acquired.
Alloy makingmagic acquired.
