Romeo's Creation P-2

I had no choice but to respond in that way---to begin with, it was impossible to try to reason with God's divine protection.

"Sigh... But that's a very thin sword. It looks beautiful, but if it's that thin it hits armor or something like that, it'll probably break."

"It certainly looks beautiful. I feel like it has an artistic element, like a ceremonial sword rather than a weapon…"

In response to Noir and Stier's reactions, Romeo explained about Japanese swords, from how they are made to how they are used in battle, and how the completed form has a guard, scabbard, and handle.

"Hmm, is it a sword? Ah, in that case, if you have the materials for the scabbard and the guard of sword grip,then you can complete it?"

"That's right. I think you can probably do it..."

Before Romeo can say anything, Stier disappears at high speed and reappears with various materials.

The part where Stier suddenly disappears and makes unstoppable movements...as expected from Dragon fang squad member.

"I'd like you to show me the finished product using this material! Is that okay?"

Stier was breathing hard, as if the blacksmith's soul had been ignited, and Romeo himself felt nostalgic after coming into contact with Japanese forms, and Stier's feelings were being felt, so he used the various materials she had brought for him. After careful consideration, He ``created'' everything, including the white scabbard, silver Tsuba, and white handle.[AN:The guard at the end of the grip of a sword.]

Surprised by how much easier it was to "create" than he had initially expected, Romeo continued to create each piece down to the necessary details.

When Stier saw the finished sword,She exclaimed, "Wow!" with great admiration.

But---I need to testthe sharpness of the sword.

Romeo had Stier prepare unnecessary armor, put it on a humanoid figure, and stood in front of the humanoid helmet and armor.

"Huh? No way, with that sword..."

I didn't listen to Stier's voice until the end,

"---Hmph!!"

Romeo pulled out his sword from an quick draw sword stance and slashed the body of the armor horizontally, then sliced ​​the upper body floating in the air from the helmet into two.

"..."

Neither Noir nor Steer could raise a single voice as they stared at the armor that had been slashed and crumbled.

"Hmm...it looks like the blade hasn't get any damage. Looks like it's done well."

I placed the blade in my palm and checked it with the blade facing up, and there was not a single dent in the blade.

"Wooooooooooooo!! Amazing!!!"

When I heard a sudden loud voice, I turned around and saw the dwarves in the workshop across the street swarming around me.

"Son! How did you make that sword?"

"Son! What is that material made of? No way, orichalcum..." [AN: "orichalcum" A yellow metal prized in ancient times, probably a form of brass or a similar alloy.]

"You idiot! I'm sure that sharpness is..."

"――No, it's just iron, right?"

"..."

The dwarf army suddenly became quiet at Romeo's casual reply, and immediately after that,

"Uhoooooooooooo!!! Are you serious!? Iron? Just? Amazing!!!"

And everyone started shouting in celebration.

"Hey! You guys are misbehaving in front of Lord Noir and his child!!"

Stier hurriedly tries to stop them, but the dwarves' excitement cannot be contained.

"Good. I was so surprised by what happened in front of me that my eyes popped out. It can't be helped that the dwarves are excited."

Noir was laughing and laughing, amused by the excitement of the dwarves.

Romeo smoothly held out the sword in his hand towards Stier.

"If you'd like, I'll give this to the workshop here. It turned out better than I expected, and blacksmiths in my country have a custom of enshrining swords in their workshops as sacred swords. If you'd like, please display them."

Stier timidly accepted Romeo's offered sword with both hands.

"I-Is it okay? Even if I get such an amazing weapon?"

"Of course. But in return, I would be happy if you could share with me materials that could be used to make powerful weapons."

Stier smiled at Romeo's reply and said...

"This is Noir-sama's workshop! That's why the materials here belong all to you, Romeo-sama! I received such a fine sword! I'll prepare anything for you!"

――Even though I was excited, I answered firmly.

"Ah, that's right! Noir-sama, wouldn't Romeo-sama be able to process Noir-sama's thing?"

"Hmm? Oh... that's true. It might be possible with Romeo's 'creation'. Okay, let's prepare it right away."

Outside the dome type net, Romeo saw Noir and Stier talking about something, looking like they were having fun...no, grinning like children as they trying to do some trick.

"What? Is something you guys hiding from me?"

Romeo asked, and the two of them grinned even more.

"No, that's not true. Actually, there is a material that is impossible to process even in Stier. However, with your blessings, that material could be processed easily, that's what I was talking about."

"Hmm, do you have such a material?"

Romeo suddenly became interested in the material.

"Oh, wait a minute."

After saying that, Noir formed something like a hole in space, and when she stuck her hand into the hole, she pulled out something big.

"No!---This is it!"

Contrary to the cute shout, it hit the floor! It made a very heavy sound, and what was standing upright was a pitch black object that looked like a thick iron plate and had an area about the size of two a rush-covered straw mats.

"Oh? What is this?"

"They are my scales!"

"Huh? Noir's scales... do you mean Black dragon's scales?"

"Ah, that's right. These are the hardest scales in the world that cover my main body. However, because they are the hardest scales in the world, even Stier could not process them. However, Romeo, you have divine protection, Isn't it possible to make my scales into weapons and other tools?

Indeed, this is the best material for making powerful weapons, but the key point was whether or not the world's hardest Noir scales could be processed with Romeo's divine protection.

"Well, it's just a trial. It's worth a try."

While saying this, Romeo faced the scales of the Black Dragon that had been stabbed into the floor and became independent, and gently extended his hand.He imagined processing the scales into a sword, just like the sword he had made earlier.

Then, just like when making iron tamahagane, the entire scale was enveloped in light, and processing began, albeit gradually.[AN:"tamahagane"precious steel ]

However, unlike the time with steel earlier, Romeo said,

――――It conveys the image of compressing and concentrating these large scales.

--Thus, a substance that can be called scaly Tamahagane, which is not as compressed as Tamahagane, but close to it, is completed.

――Next, the tamahagane of the scales is finished into the shape of a sword using the same process as before.

Perhaps because I was mentally concentrating unlike when I was playing Sword smithing, I was starting to feel quite tired.

--- Compress, compress, make the blade harder, stronger, and more supple...

Noir, Stier, and the dwarves in the workshop all held their breath and stared at the scene in silence.

Filling himself with all the hope he could think of, Romeo finally picked up the sword-shaped object and held it up in front of him.

The blade has a black mirror finish that looks

like chrome plating, with a thin blade crest floating on it.

It's considerably heavier than the previous sword because it has compressed scales that were the size of tworush-covered straw mats, but Romeo, who has reached a higher level, doesn't have any particular problems swinging it with one hand.

Just like when he made the sword earlier, He again repeat the process of `'creation'' and attached the scabbard, guard, and handle using the remaining materials, and then the black sword was born.

"Wooooooooooooooooooo!!!"

The dwarves at the workshop were making strange noises and flipping their heads in front of Romeo and the others making uproar once again, but the scales of the black dragon, which even Stier, who was in charge of the workshop, had not been able to process, were formed into a weapon right before their eyes. I guess they can't help but be overjoyed.

"It's amazing... you really have made Noir-sama's scales into Sword..."

Stier also seemed impressed, but from Romeo's point of view, he warned himself that it wasn't as amazing as the dwarves said it was, as it was the power of ``divine protection,'' or in other words, a cheat ability.

"Well then, do you want to give it a try?"

Noir seemed to want to try out the sharpness of the sword made from her own scales right away, and began to fidget.

Looking at Noir, who was fidgeting with a grinning expression on her face, and Stier who was creating a similar atmosphere, Romeo tried to resist the urge to burst out laughing,

"Then, shall we have a trial cut?"

He responded with a smile...
