The next morning, I woke up earlier than Risty and began to make preparations for breakfast, while I waiting for everyone to wake up, Gilbert woke up first.
âGood morning.â
ââŠ. ningâ
He looks sleepy. Or rather, arenât you just saying âningâ there!
Give a proper greeting!!
âYou made them?â
âYesâ
ââŠ. Itâs edible right?â
âHow rude. If you donât want it, should I ask Risty-san to make it?â
Gilbert says that while pointing at the preparation for breakfast so I return it with sarcasm. By the way, the menu for today is vegetable soup and hamburgers, after that I just have to bake the patties and the bread. At least itâs wonât be unappetizing.
A short time later, all the members have gathered and we eat breakfast while talking about some trifling things, and before I realized it, itâs became a conversation about my equipment.
âNee Emil-chan. Are you alright with that getup?â
Itâs okay, no problem at all. Thatâs what I want to say but I held back and ask Risty back.
âAre there any problems?â
âNn? How should I say this, itâs somehow plain, it doesnât seem to have any defense to take any attacks.â
â I have a role as the scout so I think there shouldnât be any problems as long itâs easy to move in and doesnât stand out.â
The equipment Iâm wearing is a dull green tunic and light brown trousers with some partial leather armor. Itâs just like early stage equipment for a Thief and a Hunter in a RPG game. My weapon, Schrödinger, the longsword I made with magic ore thatâs hanging at my waist. If compared with my team members equipment, it indeed looks plain, and somehow looks thin I guess.
âI seeâ. However with that getup, you donâtâ look like a noble ojou-sama at allââ
âThank you very much.â
It might sounds like sarcasm, but letâs take it as praise.
ââŠâŠ Naa, Emil. That sword, can you let me see it?â
âEe, I donât mind.â
Gilbert was interested in Schrödinger so I unfasten the belt and pass over the sword. Perhaps because he knows that he canât take out the sword, without drawing it, he earnestly looks at the sword.
âFor Gil to show an interest in someone elseâs sword, thatâs quite rare.â
ââŠâŠ Kai, this isnât just a sword. How can I say this, this just isnât a normal sword.â
While saying as much as he likes, he passed Schrödinger to Khais.
Please, I want you to stop acting like somebodyâs sword was your own thing and pass it to others like thatâ.
Subletting is prohibited you know! At least get permission from the owner first.
âCertainly, itâs just like Gil said, this isnât normal at all. What a strange sword, itâs like it has its own magic powerâŠ.â
Like they want to hear more about Schrödinger, Khais and Gilbertâs silently stare at me.
âThank you very much.â
I stretch my hand to take Schrödinger back while saying that, but Khais doesnât hand it over. He must want to know what raw materials are in the sword and keeps it within his hands. Well, itâs not like I didnât understand the feeling of wanting the best equipment you know.
While still wavering about how I should answer, before I realize it, Christopher is already standing beside Khais and gently pats Schrödingerâs handle.
ââŠâŠ This, magic ore. Everything, made from magic ore.â
âEE!?â
âHAAA!?!?â
Should I say âCorrectâ there, ChristopherâŠâŠ By the way, âEE!?â is Khais, âHAAAâ is Gilbert.
âNo way, you mean this sword, is entirely, made from magic ore?â
ââŠâŠ Un. Iâm not sure because I still canât see the blade but, ⊠This scabbard and the handle, entirely made from magic ore.â
âOy, Emil. Where did you get your hands on this? This is a national treasure class weapon you know!?â
âEH!!? Itâs such an amazing sword!? Emil-chanâs armor is disappointing but her weapon is amazing ne!â
Un, the armor is something I brought from home, however the swordâs materials is from my hard work okay! And also, I want a chance to draw it too you see!
âThere are only a few weapons that are entirely made from magic ore, I only heard that there are a few weapons like that in the treasury but this is the first time Iâm seeing the real thing like this.â
âMaa! Iâm wasnât at all aware that this sword was so valuable. I should make use of it carefully then.â
I give an exaggerated response, I just want to end this conversation immediately so I take Schrödinger back from Khais and put it back on my waist. It seems like Khais and Gilbert still want to hear more about Schrödinger, but there came an order to made a preparations to depart in 30 minutes so each of us start to begin our preparations.
