26 Shortcut

"The bones that you required is ready at your disposal, I hate it, but there's a change of plans. I would need you to create two hundred swords."

"Did something happen?"

"There's another invasion coming, for some reason the hero Takashi wasn't able to annihilate the leader of the monsters. I was told he was forced to retreat and recuperate.

"An overpowered hero like him retreat? It seems this sounds serious, did he got hurt?"

The king just shrugs his shoulder as if he doesn't care at all. Well, it's not the hero that he summoned thus he didn't care at all.

"What about Mike?"

"Hmm… He is currently building his hot spring."

"W-What?"

"His power has the ability to find something useful to help out the kingdom."

... You mean he is totally useless right now? Out of all summoned heroes, he needs me? What the heck.

"What about the other summon heroes?"

"They are protecting their own kingdoms, I heard that the summoned hero from the demi-human kingdom is currently mofu mofu-ing the princess of the royalty. I am not entirely sure what are they doing. Do you know?"

"...…Nope, I don't, your Majesty."

Damn you… I also want to do that!

"How much time do I have before the start of the invasion?"

"As soon as possible."

"Well I don't really mind, but if you need it fast, Amanda is the one that suffers as she needs to apply the magic."

"...!!!"

As expected, did he think I am the only one that is going to suffer? This bloody king.

"T-Then… just make fifty swords."

He easily cut a hundred fifty swords as if it's normal. Oi, I thought there's going to be a huge invasion?

"What about the invasion?"

"Well we had been experiencing it yearly, I doubt they are able to get past our border."

"Then what's with that request of two hundred swords?"

"That is to make you suffer and hope that you die."

"......"

He regretting giving his daughter, so he treats me like this? What the hell?

"Alright, I will relay to you daughter to prepare three hundred swords as soon as possible."

"Oh alright… Eh? W-Wait OI!!"

By then, I already run out of the hall.

"What did my dad say?"

"He told me there's an invasion coming up and he wants us to prepare fifty swords."

"Just fifty swords?"

"He didn't want you to suffer, here you go."

After going out of the Hall, I easily process the bones at my disposal. At the same time, I realize that I could keep the resources inside the system inventory slots. The system told me due to the accumulated experience. I had leveled up. I don't feel that strong though.

"What kind of magic circle should I put Raul?"

"Doesn't matter much I guess? Most important ones are the regeneration of magic power and fatigue, the rest you can anyhow apply. We don't even know what kind of monsters will be coming anyway."

"Oh, okay I try my best."

I came out from her room and met up with Shana and Emelia. We had our lunch. While eating, I just realized I had given Amanda more work to be done even though I told her to rest up. She didn't even try to rest, is she at the stage where she rebel?

No, she looks old enough to be almost thirty though. I didn't bother asking, and I didn't want to know, alright let's change the topic.

That afternoon, there was chaos and commotion coming from Amanda room. From what I heard, the king had gone to Amanda room. I guess he panicked and didn't want her to die to try to enchant all three hundred swords. Shana told me that I should be careful as the king suddenly started shouting my name.

Ah, did he embarrass himself in front of his daughter? Now he is trying to blame me? Hahaha. Now that I have all the bones, should I start carving Amanda and her younger brother? I already have forgotten how he looked like though. Oh, I know!

I went to each of the female noble houses and told them that I wanted to carve the man, but unfortunately, he isn't here. Is it possible for them to get him back here? The crazy fan squad immediately were dispatch.

The people at the palace and of course the royal of Henson Kingdom were panicking and thought that Gwendal had decided to wage war on them. I didn't realize the fan squad had dispatch even their personal army and their communications with the other kingdom to find the prince of Gwendal.

Well, that is a story to be told in another time.

For now, I should try creating various weapons and of course armor, for Emelia use. Before I forget, the bow and arrow that Amanda came up with. It should definitely help out with the invasion. At least the soldier will have experience in killing the monster. Now that I realize, I didn't think that this world has a level until the system told me about my accumulated experience.

Sigh* I'm kind of forgetting a lot of things aren't I? What sort of other world is it if there's no level system? System am I able to see my own status?

[User do not have the skill analyze thus the only way user could see your status is by going to any nearby church. Beware as there's a church for every god.]

T-There's variety of gods too? I didn't even realize. System, which one should I choose?

[I am not going to help you out. It is your own fault for not knowing.]

Ehh?

[You uneducated freak!]

….Y-You too huh system. Fine, I go ask Shana in the meantime let's create an awesome bow! For now, let's create something simple as a start. Hmm, recurve bow should be fine. Wait I don't think…

[Oho at least the user understand something simple. There's no such thing as making a bow as a melee weapon.]

T-Then I can't make a bow?

[Have you seen a blade being able to bend?]

Geh… Arrows then huh.

Field point as the arrowhead should be sufficient in penetrating those arrogant monster. Hmm, the base I need to make it larger so Amanda could apply her magic circle. The problem is, she would need to apply it to all of the arrows. This is going to be tough on her. She also needs to enchant those fifty swords too. I wonder if I could duplicate…

[You could]

A-Are you serious!?

[Yeah]

Isn't this going to break the novel?

[You are not the only overpowered summoned hero in this world you know?]

So your saying, I am not powerful enough to break the world?

[What's the point if you have all these technologies but no one strong enough to survive long?]

Oh yeah, I won't be able to live long enough anyway. Let's not go into that then, thanks!

I Imagine the system nodding his head in agreement. Hahaha, let's go!

*knock

I knock on Amanda door so that I could ease her suffering by finishing the job that she was assign.

"Amanda are you there?"

"Raul?"

"Yep! I think I found a way to lessen your burden?"

Amanda opens the door and looks at me as if I am going to steal her work away. Huh, what?

"What's wrong?"

"B-but I like my work!"

"You are going to die, what if I told you, your father wants to create fifty thousand swords? Are you going to be able to handle that?"

"...… Of course! Then I should continue my work!"

This girl, I don't know whether she is a hardworking person or just an idiot.

"For now, how many swords have you enchanted?"

"Twenty-six, I am currently waiting for my magic to recover before I continue."

Oh god, what the hell. Her endurance and the ability to focus is this strong. I look at all of the swords but couldn't find anything wrong with it.

"What's wrong? Did I do it wrong?"

"No, it's that, I can't find any mistake in any of them."

"Huh? Is that bad?"

"... It's too good."

"…?"

"I was thinking of duplicating the ones that look to be the most perfect."

"Are you looking down on my sister? Oh, Raul?"

"Hueh!? Since when were you here? You stalker!"

"...…!"

Eliza draws out her sword accompanied by her killing glare, approach me slowly. Am I going to die? Definitely, so are we going to close this novel in chapter 26?

"Eliza what are you doing?"

"Just testing the sword out."

"? You should do it outside sis, that sword magic power could bring the castle down if you do it seriously."

"Outside huh… RAUL? Please accompany me outside."

"N-NO I politely decline."

"Eliza, I need Raul to finish what father has asked of me."

"A-Amanda!"

"Tch…"

After glaring at me, she walked out with the sword in hand. Oi, where are you going with that sword? Please don't kill innocent people alright? Amanda, on the other hand, started staring at me with a shine on her eyes.

"Cmon, Cmon do it."

Huh? Do what?

"By the way Amanda, which one is your favorite among those swords that you have enchanted?"

"That one… The one that has the face of me on the handle."

Oh yeah, these swords were randomly created, I didn't duplicate them. So this one is the time where I first met her in the hall. She was laughing after I told her that her young sister has a fake smiling face.

"Alright, I'll choose this one then! By the way Amanda."

"Huh?"

"Why didn't you use these swords to recover your fatigue and magic power? Couldn't you hold one of these while you rest?"

"AHH!"

I facepalmed my face so hard that I think I need to wait for the next chapter…
