#56

“I say, Miss Zoe Blanc! The item you requested is finally complete… Oof!”

“Wait, any tails?”

I cut off Somphara mid-sentence and whispered secretly.

“N-no, there weren’t any?”

“Good, codename Somsom. Quickly hand over that item to me.”

I snatched the item from Somphara, who had an expression that said ‘what on earth are we doing?’

Of course, I didn’t forget to look around vigilantly as if carrying out a secret mission.

I let out an exclamation of admiration as I examined the item that had finally fallen into my hands.

“Wow… this is really…”

It looks expensive.

Ah, this makes me hesitant to give it as a gift…

What Master Somphara, a craftsman acknowledged by all, had created was none other than a black sword.

The identity of this incredible black sword was…

Believe it or not, it was that very old sword we had discovered in Antragorn’s Dungeon before.

Originally, I had planned to just sneak away with that expensive-looking gem attached to the sword hilt, but no matter how hard I tried, it wouldn’t come off, so I had no choice but to steal—no, take—the whole thing.

But what do you know?

Who would have thought that the gem attached to that worn-out sword that had already lost its original function was a ‘magic stone’!

And a premium-grade magic stone at that!

Magic stones are the main material used to enhance weapons and equipment and create rare items.

According to Somphara, such excellent premium-grade magic stones couldn’t be easily obtained anywhere.

No, even if they existed, he added that there were so many who coveted them that you couldn’t buy one even with billions.

Hehe, I really made the right choice asking Somphara.

It was worth coaxing Somphara with the ‘100-layer Apple Pie’ loaded with every cooking buff I had.

I grinned as I looked at the black sword that gleamed as black as obsidian.

“This sword has good durability too, right?”

“Oh my, what kind of obvious question is that…! This black sword, perfect in design, durability, and ability, could be called the masterpiece of my lifetime!”

Somphara puffed out his chest as if proud of himself.

“Of course, it’s a sword made by our Master Som. Ruan will like it too, right?”

“Ahem, it’s too fine an item for a lowly human to possess.”

Oh, there it is again. Mister Som’s ‘lowly’ routine.

This makes life hard for us lowly humans…

Actually, this was a sword meant as a gift for Ruan.

Since it was made by melting down a premium-grade magic stone that couldn’t be easily obtained, I originally intended to keep it for myself, but after embezzling too much of the damage compensation, my conscience was pricked and I hastily changed direction to make it a gift for Ruan.

That’s why the sword hilt had a purple diamond that was exactly the same color as Ruan’s eyes.

“What did you say this black sword’s ability was again?”

“That black sword has been imbued with darkness properties. At night, its attack power doubles, and when it cuts an enemy, it can absorb the cut enemy’s mana to restore the sword owner’s stamina. So as long as the sword’s owner doesn’t die, they can fight forever.”

I let out exclamations of admiration at the sword’s continuously described abilities.

I could see why Somphara had been so confident.

Ha, I really want this…

My eyes filled with material desire as I stared at the black sword.

No. I can’t, just look at Our House right now!

I barely managed to pull myself together as I looked at the luxurious manor filled with expensive decorations.

“Master Som really is amazing… It’s almost too good to give away.”

“Huh… Miss Zoe Blanc, are you really planning to gift this to that human?”

“Mmm… I have to. After taking this much for a broken house, anyone would…”

“Well, that’s true, but still…”

Somphara looked at the floral centerpiece placed on the large dining table.

Those flowers were artificial. Golden flowers made of pure gold, no less.

Somphara picked up one of those flowers, bit it with his teeth, then carefully set it down.

“100% pure gold… Hehe, Miss Zoe Blanc. Tell that human to break the house just one more time.”

I sighed as I looked at Somphara’s eyes tainted with greed.

“Haha… If I did that, the manor might multiply into two.”

Last time, just mentioning a dressing room once resulted in two buildings, so it was entirely possible.

“Hmm, Miss Zoe Blanc. Please wait just a moment.”

Somphara, who clicked his tongue regretfully, suddenly began rummaging around in his bag that was larger than his own body.

What on earth is in that bag that everything comes out of it?

By the way, the black sword also came from that square bag.

No matter how much it was a bag with subspace, I couldn’t help being startled every time I saw it.

“Oh, found it. Here, this is my special service for Miss Zoe Blanc.”

Somphara coolly held out something with an expression that said ‘I just happened to pick this up.’

I blinked and took the glowing object.

“Somphara, wh-what is this?”

What Somphara had offered was none other than a sword.

A pure white sword at that.

The sword hilt had a light blue diamond embedded in it, exactly the same color as my eyes.

I looked at Somphara with a dumbfounded expression while holding the sword.

“Well, the magic stone Miss Zoe Blanc gave me was so large and premium-grade that just half of it was enough to make the black sword.”

“Th-then you made this white sword with the other half?”

“Miss Zoe Blanc seemed to want a sword so badly. It’s my special service.”

“Huung, Master Somphara is the best!”

I hugged Somphara tightly with tears welling up in my eyes.

Then the flustered Somphara tapped his antennae on the floor.

“L-let go, Miss Zoe Blanc. Gah! I-I can’t breathe!”

Why are both Golem and Somphara such generous monsters…

I hugged Somphara even tighter in the wave of emotion that washed over me like a tsunami.

“Thank you Somphara… I’ll make you a thousand-layer, no, ten-thousand-layer apple pie this time!”

At those words, Somphara’s antennae began forming heart shapes.

“Ehehe. T-ten thousand layers of apple pie…? That’s bound to be delicious without even seeing it…”

I smiled as I watched Somphara use the words I had taught him in just the right places.

The white sword looked exactly like twins with the black sword, differing only in color.

I asked as I released Somphara, who was gaping with his mouth open.

“Somsom, does this white sword have abilities too?”

“Miss Zoe Blanc certainly calls me by various names. Hmm, the white sword is a sword, but its properties are closer to a shield. When you take big damage, it forms a barrier, and it can also raise allies’ defense.”

Ah, it’s a buff sword?

I understood Somphara’s words immediately.

Hmm, since I’m in a game anyway, I wanted to get a taste of some action myself.

But well, since I have the ability to tame monsters anyway, protecting rather than cutting someone suited me better.

Hmm, so am I similar to a tank in RPG game terms?

I nodded while listening attentively to Somphara’s words.

“Thank you, Somsom. To make not just one but two swords in such a short time… Wait just a bit. I’ll bake you a ten-thousand-layer apple pie right now!”

“Ooh! Please make me a cup of milk tea too. Sweet enough to rot my teeth!”

“Geez… I keep telling you that eating that sweet will send you across the Yeodan River in an instant, so cut back on sweets. I’m only allowing it just for today.”

“Miss Zoe Blanc, please put in more, more sugar!”

Hey, you’re really going to die at this rate, Somsom.
