Fortunately, creating a custom sacred relic for Lute didn’t require any particularly special materials.

“Just one don of gold will do.”

Pretty simple, right?

“That’s nothing special.”

The wealthy man readily nodded and immediately ordered the butler Cal to bring the gold.

In the meantime, I took out a sacred stone I had stored separately in my subspace pouch and placed it on the table.

Now there were two materials left.

One was the blessing energy from my skill that would purify the ‘evil’ aura.

And.

“Finally, I just need to infuse the power of that sacred relic you’re wearing around your neck.”

When I pointed to Lute’s neck, he touched the divine relic.

“Should I take off the necklace?”

“No, it’s fine to do it like this.”

There was no problem using divine power while it was still around his neck.

Soon Cal came with one don of gold.

“It has the Duke’s family crest engraved on it?”

A golden coin that emitted a bright yellow light.

In its center was carved a golden tree with branches extending in all directions.

It was the crest symbolizing the House of Sieri.

“That’s right. It’s a commemorative coin distributed by Siery a few years ago.”

“Then isn’t it expensive?”

Any gold would do, but why specifically a commemorative coin?

“I’m a duke using it for myself, so what’s the problem?”

Well, that’s true.

“Then I’ll start crafting.”

I briefly wondered if it was okay to show Lute the simple crafting process of just adding materials and waiting…

It would be good to have at least one person know the secret.

There was no one I could trust as much as Lute.

【Activating skill ‘Sacred Relic Crafting’.】

【Craft Item – Ring (Size 19)】

【Please add the materials needed for sacred relic crafting.

Material 1. Sacred Stone

Material 2. User’s Divine Power (Blessing)

Material 3. Divine Power of Divine Relic Aurora

Material 4. One Don of Gold】

I first put the sacred stone into the material box, then added the blessing.

Lute showed a surprised expression as the materials disappeared into thin air with a golden aura, but he stayed quiet without interfering.

Now that I had added the one don of gold that Lute gave me, there was only one thing left.

“Lute.”

I reached out toward Lute.

He approached and slowly lowered his head.

I carefully pulled out the Divine Relic Aurora from between his shirt collar and held it.

Thank you for helping Lute all this time.

After gently stroking the divine relic, I extracted the divine power dwelling within it and put it into the material box.

【Material procurement complete. Beginning crafting!】

【Please wait a moment.】

An icon of a hammer striking an anvil appeared.

“Now we just need to wait a little.”

“Do we just wait quietly?”

It must look strange. There’s no way a sacred relic could be made this easily.

“This is an ability that shouldn’t normally be known. But since you never know what might happen, I thought it would be good for at least one person to know.”

“So you chose me as that one person.”

Rather than looking at my ability with suspicion, Lute smiled proudly.

As if my trusting him was more important than my suspicious ability.

【Sacred relic crafting complete!】

Just then, the completion message suddenly appeared, covering Lute’s face.

“Oh, crafting is finished.”

A ring dyed in five colors slowly descended from the air with fanfare.

It was a beautifully crafted golden ring.

Perhaps due to the influence of Divine Relic Aurora, the teardrop-shaped gem embedded in the middle of the ring shone with five colors.

“A gem with mixed pale pink and white. I quite like it.”

Lute smiled with satisfaction.

Even though it was a gem color mainly worn by women rather than men, he seemed very pleased.

That’s a relief. I can’t even change this color.

Before giving the ring to Lute, I checked the information first.

【Sacred Relic Information】

Name: Keep Away

Grade: Epic

Owner: Cha Siwon

Ability: Healing

Special Notes: Has the ability to block ‘evil’ aura. Contains some divine anger toward ‘Lute Sieri’ who keeps approaching the user.

“…?”

The name is kind of strange.

No, not just the name, but the special notes are strange too?

Sun God, are you in your right mind?

【’Sun Risen from Death’ protests to the system’s crafting skill. He bursts out in frustration, saying there’s no need to explain so directly.】

So it was real.

Setting aside the special notes, at least do something about the name.

How am I supposed to tell Lute that the sacred relic’s name is ‘Keep Away’!

【’Sun Risen from Death’ says that since the owner of the sacred relic is the user, only the user can modify the name.】

That’s a relief. I can change it as I please.

But this is its own problem. My naming sense is pretty terrible.

“What’s wrong? Is there some problem?”

As I stared at the ring while pondering, Lute asked me.

Since it’s come to this, I should ask for Lute’s opinion.

“The crafting ended successfully. However, the sacred relic doesn’t have a name. Since you’ll be using it anyway, how about you name it?”

“A name.”

Lute quietly stared at the ring in my palm.

After pondering for a while, he alternated looking between the ring and me, then smiled as if he had decided.

“Del. Let’s go with Del.”

At the unexpected name, I blinked blankly.

“That’s…”

No matter how I look at it, that’s not just a random name.

“Do you really have to use that name?”

I couldn’t help but recall when Lute was drunk.

That night when I couldn’t give any answer, but also couldn’t pull away from Lute’s hand holding me.

“You’re the one who gave me the choice.”

However, Lute smiled firmly as if he had no intention of changing his mind.

I sighed.

Even if I changed the name as I pleased, Lute would still call this sacred relic Del.

It was quite troublesome, but in the end, I had no choice but to agree.

As Rute said, I was the one who gave him the choice.

“Then now we need to try wearing it directly…”

I glanced at Rute’s neck.

【’Sun Risen from Death’ advises that it would be better to remove the divine relic first before wearing the sacred relic so the two energies don’t mix.】

I wanted to make sure Rute wouldn’t be in pain even for a moment, but it seems that won’t work.

“Since the two energies shouldn’t mix, it would be better to remove the necklace first before wearing this.”

“I understand.”

Despite my worries, Rute nodded readily.

He immediately grasped the divine relic hanging around his neck.

“I’ll do it right now.”

Since it’s better to get this kind of thing over with quickly, I nodded as well.

“Once you take this off, the pain will start immediately, so you won’t be in any state to put on Del. So I’ll have to put it on for you.”

“I’ll do that. Which finger should I put it on?”

“Here.”

Rute boldly pointed to his left ring finger.

“…There?”

Really? He really wants to put the sacred relic on his left ring finger?

“Yes.”

Even if it’s up to the person wearing it, isn’t that spot a bit, you know?

【’Sun Risen from Death’ angrily says to look at that bastard, and that his name should definitely be put on the access restriction list.】

【’Sun Risen from Death’ informs that ‘Traveler Guiding Souls’ is also expressing agreement with his words from the side.】

It wasn’t just me thinking that way, as the Sun God started pointing accusingly at Rute.

Even the Eternal God joined in.

“I’ll handle my own affairs, so please put it right here.”

Looking straight at my flustered self, Rute made his request.

Really, there were so many concerning things, but seeing Rute looking straight at me, I didn’t feel like stopping him.

Even if I deliberately put it on a different finger, Rute would surely manage to put it on his left ring finger anyway.

So what choice do I have? I’ll just have to do as he wants.

“…Alright. I’m ready, so you can remove the sacred relic.”

When I said this with a sigh, Rute removed the divine relic from his neck without any hesitation.

“Ugh!”

At the same time, the stains that had faded considerably over the past few months swelled in size.

As his complexion turned pale in an instant, I quickly put Sacred Relic Del on Rute’s left ring finger.

“…Ah.”

Rute, who had been clutching his chest area with his right hand, let out an exclamation.

Like when he first put Divine Relic Aurora around his neck, his face was colored with deep emotion.

“Ha, haha. Now I understand why this is my custom sacred relic.”

His silver-gray eyes, tinged with ecstasy, looked at Sacred Relic Del.

“Just putting on the ring, I feel the same sensation as when I received your blessing.”

Rute tightly grasped my hand that had put the ring on him.

His previously pale cheeks turned pink in an instant, showing just how delighted he was.

“I like it. I really, really like it. So much that I don’t even need something like the Holy Relic of Light anymore.”

Thank goodness.

Rute doesn’t know, but what he used before was a divine relic and the new one is just an epic-grade sacred relic. I was worried about what to do if he said he wasn’t satisfied with it.

I confirmed that the black stains scattered throughout Rute’s body had lost their momentum again and died down.

I’m glad the sacred relic is working properly.

Then now, I should tell him the truth, right?

“You know, Rute. Actually, there’s one more thing I deceived you about.”

“Ha, what is it? Right now I feel like I could forgive anything. Tell me.”

As if completely intoxicated by the sacred relic’s energy, Rute spoke in a drowsy voice.

I glanced around nervously and then shook the divine relic I was holding.

“Actually, this isn’t the Holy Relic of Light.”

“…What?”

“It’s not the Holy Relic of Light you were looking for.”

The drowsiness completely disappeared from his face.
