The inside, which we entered after leaving Marty behind, definitely felt more like a weapons store than the outside.

No, I would say it feels more like a place to make weapons than a store.

In such places, they measure height and weight, measure arm length, and test grip strength as if they were conducting a physical examination.

It’s obvious that he’s trying to make a sword that’s tailored to me in many ways, and it makes my heart pound for no reason.

Since I’ve always used wooden swords, I can’t even imagine what kind of sword I’ll be holding, so I can say that it makes me even more excited.

“Hmm, you said you usually used a wooden sword, right?”

“Yes.”

“Do you still have that wooden sword?”

“Oh, yes. It’s in the dorm.”

“Bring it.”

Huh? Why are you suddenly telling me to bring it? What do you mean?

“You could test it using any sword here, but I think it would be better to use the one you’re used to because you’ll get better data.”

So, if you want to make a better sword, it’s better to have a sword you’ve used before.

“If you have a record of a previous sword fight, you can measure only the parts that have changed compared to that record and then make it, but you don’t have that.”

If there is a record, it seems that it is saved and used the next time the weapon is fitted.

Certainly, at times like these, I feel anew that this is not a medieval fantasy world, but a modern fantasy world.

Honestly, a weapons dealer who inputs custom records into a hologram using a smartphone.

Isn’t this really new and fun?

“Okay, then I’ll bring it back.”

“Okay, the store closes at 6pm, so you should come by 3pm to get it today.”

It does take some time to make, but it doesn’t seem to take that long.

It all takes 3 hours… The world really is a wonderful place.

If it were a medieval fantasy, it would have taken several days.

When I came out to the main part of the store from where I had followed, for some reason.

“Theo!”

“Theo!”

Instead of the chatty Marty I thought would be waiting for me, I see Iris and Estelle.

“Huh? Iris and Estelle. How did you get here?”

Of course, since I came without any notice, he looked a little embarrassed.

“Ah, I happened to find out that Theo-nim went to the weapon shop, so I came here to see him… I’m sorry if I offended you.”

For some reason, Iris blushes and apologizes.

“Huh? No, I’m not offended. I’m the one who’s sorry for coming without saying anything. It just so happened that a friend from the same dorm asked me to come, so I ended up coming.”

It would have been natural for someone like Iris to be able to hear news from anywhere.

First of all, this is basically the Ermund Academy within the Ermund Empire.

So, most of the people here are people who want to look good to the crown princess, Iris.

But is there a man that Iris likes to be friendly with and even call her Nim?

Of course, he would have wanted to at least tell me the location and receive some of the falling beans.

Even if she didn’t necessarily tell him to do it.

But if you think about Iris’s personality, she’s the type of person who would feel sorry for each and every one of those things.

In fact, a similar event occurred in the game, where Estelle’s location was reported to Iris.

Iris was very happy to hear that and went out to find Estelle, but she was the type of character who warned her not to do that again.

“Oh, the person outside was someone who shared the same dorm as Theo.”

Estelle, who had been standing there quietly listening, spoke as if she had realized something.

“Oh, yes. That’s right. Did that guy go?”

“Well, he saw us, greeted us with a bewildered expression, and then ran away.”

Well, yeah.

The combination of Crown Princess Iris and Saintess Estelle.

If you do something wrong and end up being hated, it’s a big deal, so it’s understandable to want to run away.

But that guy, he was the guy who wanted to do well by getting connections with the nobility.

Isn’t this a golden opportunity? You can’t grab it and run away.

“I guess I’ll have to apologize separately next time. I think you were waiting for Theo, but I’m sorry it turned out like this because of us.”

Once again Iris apologizes, but he shakes his head.

“No. That guy was being noisy, so I was thinking he should go back quickly.”

Marty is noisy.

Of course, the noise is fun when you’re together, but he’s such a noisy guy that you wish it were just a little less noisy.

It is no exaggeration to say that I’ve heard enough gossip today.

“Anyway, I have to go to the dorm now. What are you going to do with Iris and Estelle?”

“Let’s go together!”

“We’ll go together!”

I just nodded and headed to the dormitory, seeing that the two of them were giving the same answer as if they had planned something.

Since women were not allowed in the boys’ dorm, I left two people in front of the door to check if Marty had returned, but it seemed like he hadn’t come back yet, and the dorm room was empty.

Take the wooden sword you were using and return to the weapon shop with the two people.

“Oh, welcome.”

You can see that the store owner, who had been speaking informally and being very rude until just now, suddenly became very polite.

Hehe, right. Even if they are students, he can’t just slap Iris and Estelle if he wants to keep his position.

“Okay, if you brought a wooden sword, come this way. Why did you two come here? ”

“Theo’s companion.”

“It’s the same.”

“Oh, I see…! Then I’ll bring you some tea while you wait…!”

The shopkeeper’s face takes on a confused expression.

Yeah, that’s right. I’m a commoner, no matter where you look, I’m a commoner, so it’s understandable that I’d be confused if those two kept calling me “nimnim.”

But sir, that still confuses me.

That means there is no other way than to adapt.

“Please take good care of Theo’s sword. Well, I don’t think you have to worry too much since he is a skilled master in our Ermunt.”

“I’ll ask you to do a good job too. Oh, and can you also make a magic staff along with the sword? I’d like to give one to Theo-nim, since he’s also very good at magic.”

No, what kind of gift is this all of a sudden?

The staff must also be quite expensive.

“… Estelle, that’s foul play.”

“Where is there any foul play? I just wanted to give it to you as a gift.”

“Then I will give you the black one, Theo.”

“No, both of you, calm down.”

I don’t know why the conversation suddenly started to flow this way, but the two people who had already decided to spend money both stepped forward and started asking the owner for payment.

“Oh, yes, okay…! I’ll pay right away…!”

“No, sir, I will pay for the sword…!”

No matter how hard I try to pay, no one will accept my money.

In the end, Iris ended up receiving a sword as a gift, and Estelle ended up receiving a staff as a gift.

Oh my, those guys really. Why are they so impatient because they can’t spend money?

If you want to spend money, you should buy your own.

Anyway, being nice to your friends is the same now as it was in the game.

“Don’t worry, we’ll make you the perfect fit with the best sword and staff! ”

The old man makes boasts and Iris and Estelle clap their hands excitedly.

Well, that’s okay. It’s not like we can come here and say we’re going to get sick of it now.

Since they are kids with that kind of personality, let’s just accept it this time and do something light in return.

“Okay, then this way.”

When you go back inside with the old man, he speaks to you in a much more excited tone than before.

“You, this guy, is it true that you are close with the Crown Princess and the Saintess?”

I think the rumors started to spread here and there after the two people came at me after the entrance ceremony, but it seemed like public opinion was divided on whether the rumors were true or not.

I think that could very well be the case.

A combination of a commoner, a crown princess, and a saint.

It feels like there’s something stuck there that doesn’t match at all.

“But why are those two calling you a lord? Are you also a hidden master… something like that?”

“I don’t know either. They just call it that.”

“Hmm, really? That’s interesting. Anyway, try swinging that wooden sword you brought.”

Phew-

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his wooden sword.

“Oh, that’s okay. Stand there and swing a few more times. Try stabbing too.”

He swings his sword as the old man demands, and repeats the stabbing motion several times.

“I won’t be able to use Aura anyway.”

“No, you can use it.”

Anyway, it was said that rumors had already spread among the faculty and staff that he had taken the entrance exam.

There is no reason to hide it, so I will answer honestly.

Moreover, if you make the durability not suitable for the aura because you think it is unusable and then it breaks, that is also a problem.

“What? You can use Aura?”

“Yes.”

“You mean you used that wooden sword? Show me.”

It’s not a difficult task, so when you put the aura on the wooden sword, the old man makes a shocked expression.

“Oh, this isn’t just a special award, is it? Alright, then let’s check out which ore suits you best. It shouldn’t take too long to measure. ”

It appears that you can now measure optimal ore using your smartphone.

Probably all the data from the stabbing or slashing just before and the data from using the aura were also transmitted there.

What a wonderful thing about the times we live in. We live in a world where whatever we do on a round plate connected to a smartphone is directly transmitted to the smartphone.

I would say that it is a more advanced era than the one I lived in.
