episode_0034

Because public opinion was deteriorating to a serious level, I had no choice but to withdraw my remarks.

Although there was a big reason why other people’s gaze bothered me, honestly, the fact that Eclec and Lips missed me that much really struck me.

In particular, it was truly shocking to see him holding on to me, even adding ‘yo’ to the ending.

Eclec was so free-spirited that he evaluated the king of a country as a bald man.

If she spoke with such respect, it would be safe to say that she was that desperate.

“First, let’s talk more. Stop crying.”

“Yes… !”

Eclec is sniffling and rubbing his eyes, and Lips is wiping the blood from his forehead with his sleeve.

Once again, I felt like I was pushing the kids too far by saying I wouldn’t give them any room.

But I couldn’t help it. Because I couldn’t be a good owner to the twins.

The complaints I heard about Eclec and Lips in the past were understandable, as they were used so rarely.

I thought there would be someone more suitable to handle the twin daggers than me, so I wanted to let them go.

“First of all, I’m asking, but you have no intention of returning to your new owner, right?”

“None… Yo.”

“Because the experience of being abused was so painful and bitter that I could never forget it.”

Lips smoothed out the bandages that were damp with tears.

As the bandage became wet, the outline of the eye area was revealed, and the space where the eye should be was empty, so the bandage was dented.

It wasn’t just that his eyesight was damaged, it was that he had no eyes at all.

The twins developed antipathy towards their new owner and frowned.

Then, Eclec’s body trembled, and her eyes became bright again.

“You didn’t frown because you were displeased.”

I sighed as I saw Eclec holding back tears.

If I rang one more time, I would have been treated like a human being, even if I wasn’t a criminal.

“Ha… !”

How did things end up like this?

If we go back to the beginning of the incident, the twins’ new owner was the cause.

I heard that he used Eclec and Rips as his main weapons.

If you are a person in a combat position, you must thoroughly manage your main weapon.

However, I heard that he didn’t even do the easy maintenance, let alone maintenance.

I’ve often seen people who handle a sword roughly, but I’ve rarely seen someone who doesn’t handle their main weapon.

Even if there are, they are usually only those who use the weapons temporarily for reasons such as weapon production requests or repairs.

“I’ve been using you guys for several years and haven’t even taken care of them. Doesn’t that mean I have no attachment to you guys?”

“It would have been better if I had done that. Unfortunately, he’s after us.”

“What? Why is this guy who doesn’t care about his sword so much that he doesn’t even take care of it, come to you?”

“My new brother saw ECL as a means of making money… Yo.”

It can be said that he spent a lot of money to purchase a famous sword because he wanted to save on maintenance costs.

And since I have actually been using Eclec and Lips for several years, it can be said that the purpose has been achieved.

However, he was stabbed by Eclec when he was trying to suck out his gallbladder and liver and even his bone marrow.

It was a punishment, but it seems the twins’ new owner still hasn’t come to his senses.

“You also met a truly terrible person.”

“I’m sorry, you cared for us so much, but without even knowing it, we… … .”

“That’s it, it’s the past.”

“Ugh! Sorry… Yo.”

“They say you don’t have to apologize.’

Eckle and Lips ran away after meeting an unremarkable owner and suffering only through pain.

I don’t mean to sympathize with them, but I am irritated with their new owners.

If he had cared for the twins even a little bit, things like this wouldn’t have happened now.

In the end, cleaning up after the fact became my responsibility.

“Would you rather let me find another owner?”

“I hate it! Ecle likes his older brother… Yo!”

“You can speak as usual. Because I’m used to it too.”

Ecl carefully holds onto my sleeve.

He puffed out his cheeks like a squirrel and fought quietly.

“I don’t want to accept anyone other than my brother as my master… !”

“Brother, our bodies are so damaged that we can’t use them much. There’s probably no one who wants us sisters.”

“Just fix that and that’s it.”

“It’s impossible. Moonstone is a difficult material to obtain, and there is no way in the world there is a blacksmith who can handle moonstone like your father… … .”

“Is there a way that doesn’t require the help of a blacksmith?”

“Yes?”

Suddenly a good solution occurred to me and I put my hand into my leather carrying pouch.

A hammer that has always served as a weight for a leather pouch.

It is a magic tool received from the chief of Andar, a blacksmith village in the north.

The function of the magic tool was to bring the object being struck into optimal condition.

In other words, even non-blacksmiths could perfectly repair weapons or tools.

“With this, your physical condition will be able to return to how it was before.”

“Awesome!”

“I had no idea such a magic tool existed. Can I use it multiple times?”

“No, as effective as it is, there is a limitation in that it can only be used once.”

“Isn’t it expensive?”

“It’s very expensive. If you just knock on any object, it will be restored to its original state. If you sell it, it will probably be worth the price.”

“Is it okay for you to use such a valuable magical tool on us?”

“It was handed over to me, so it is up to me to use it.”

If others learn of the hammer’s existence, they will argue that the lost ancient technology must be revived.

But that’s no reason for me to hand over the hammer.

It’s good to continue the technology of our predecessors, but there was no reason to revive technology that had nothing to do with me.

Even if the identity of the technique is swordsmanship, I had my teacher’s swordsmanship and the swordsmanship I developed.

As I was confident that my swordsmanship was the best, I did not think there was a need to learn new swordsmanship.

“Then, Brother, I will ask you to repair your sister! Because your damage is worse than mine!”

“Eccle is fine, so fix his lips! Eclec is only inconvenienced in one leg, but Lips is inconvenienced because he is missing both eyes!”

“No, it may seem like I have a more serious problem on the outside, but in fact, my sister suffers from serious internal injuries and suffers from pain every night!”

“No! Hey, I’ve never done that before!”

“I heard you quietly sobbing every night!”

“I’ve never done anything like that!”

“It’s not some kind of kids fight… … Those are the kids.”

Twin sisters who give in to each other but then end up fighting.

It was nice to see the strong sisterhood, but I couldn’t understand why it turned into a fight.

I scratched my head and stopped the twins.

“I’m going to repair both at the same time, why?”

“Ha, but you said it was disposable, right?”

“Yes, it is disposable.”

“But how can you repair both of us at once?”

“Of course, you just have to tap both at the same time.”

The twins, not understanding my perfect solution, tilted their heads at the same time.

I know why they react so dumbly.

It is a one-time use, which means you only have to tap it once and it’s done.

However, if you tap both at the same time without an error of 0.1 second, doesn’t that mean that the effect is applied at once?

“I know that my brother is an excellent swordsman, but such magical techniques are close to impossible… … .”

“Okay.”

“Evil!”, “Ugh!”

[Wow, what a master!]

I thought it would be better to show it in person rather than explain it, so I hit the tops of Eclec and Rips’ heads with a hammer at exactly the same time.

Then the twins’ bodies were enveloped in light, and the hammer in my hand turned into powder and disappeared.

To this day, the sword has been swung hundreds of millions of times.

It was also an opportunity to prove that my efforts were not in vain.

As Lips said, wielding anything at the same time is a technique that is theoretically impossible.

There would have been a difference of 0.001 seconds, if not 0.1 second.

However, the important point is that the magic tool could not detect the difference of 0.001 seconds.

“Next, we need to see if the magic tool works properly… … .”

It seemed like there was no need to worry.

The wooden stick that served as a bridge fell off, and new flesh sprouted from the cut surface.

In Lips’ case, the bandage that was tying him up fell off, revealing his beautiful wall.

The twins’ recovery work was progressing smoothly.

“Oh! strength… ! There is so much power!”

“Brother! What the hell is this… ?”

“I don’t know… … .”

In addition to its repair function, the hammer further enhances the potential of Eclectic and Rips.

I heard that they would return it to the best condition, but it seems that it was ‘making’ rather than ‘returning’.

The twins are currently flashing eye lights and emitting an unknown aura.

No matter how much I thought about it, it only looked like it was powering up.

As time passed, the two returned to being ordinary twin girls.

The exterior didn’t change much.

The degree to which the defect has been completely healed.

However, while handling sword skills, I realized that the twins’ performance was noticeably different.

The performance that was barely comparable to that of a holy or demonic sword when two daggers were linked was now at the same level even when used alone.

It was truly a great development.

“Oppa!”

“Brother… !”

The two people seemed to have noticed the change in themselves and immediately rushed towards me.

While Lips gently wrapped my hand with both hands, Eclec openly embraced me like a leech.

It clung to my body and repeatedly tapped my cheek with its lips like a woodpecker.

“Thank you, Brother… !”

“Good! Oppa, I love it!”

“Ugh! Why are they being like this?”

I shook off the hand that Lips had wrapped around me and quickly covered Ecle’s mouth with my palm.

I managed to break away from Twin, whose legs were tightly wrapped around my waist, and clearly conveyed my intention to the twins.

“I healed you, but that doesn’t mean I will accept you under my sword again.”

“Woo… … !”

Eclec gave me a sullen expression at my words.

I don’t know if it’s someone else, but I’m not in trouble even if I don’t have a sword.

Still, he reflected that it was wrong to dismiss Ecle and Lips without giving them any chance.

“… … From now on, if you catch the guy I mentioned, I will accept your return.”

“Really? Just tell me who it is and I’ll catch you right away!”

“Do you know him as Maxwell?”

“I know! That pot-bellied man!”

“Okay, just capture that guy alive and bring him to me. I will not choose any means.”

“If I bring you, is it okay for me to stay with you forever?”

“Yes.”

Eclec smiled brighter than usual at the fact that hope had arisen.

Thanks to the effects of Ecle, Lips, and Hammer, even my skin became clean without any blemishes, making me much prettier.

In that state, I saw a smile in full bloom, and the corners of my mouth twitched as well.

Thinking that it would make me look careless, I quickly covered my mouth with my hand.

It’s going to turn.

The swords that turned into humans all looked attractive.

If things continue like this, it may only be a moment before I become a blacksmith like my teacher.

“Keuhum! For reference, Maxwell is likely to be in the southeast. I’m heading that way too, so if you happen to capture him alive first, go to the guild and contact a new mercenary named Aaron. That’s the pseudonym I’m using now.”

“I understand.”

“Okay, then let’s disperse. Because it’s not good to have bandits near the village forever.”

At my words, Lips began to prepare the bandits to leave again.

Based on the information I provided, the Brothers Bandits changed their course from north to south.

Just as I was thinking about leaving, Eclec suddenly came running towards me.

“That’s right! Oppa, it’s too shabby to say it as repayment, but I’ll give you this!”

“This is… ?”

The item Eclec gave me was a magic stone filled with enormous energy.

“I’m giving it to you because I think it will help you more than this!”

“Where did you get this?”

The dark and dark color was so menacing that I remembered seeing a magic stone like this.

It looks similar to the magic stone consumed by the demon who controlled Drake.

It was definitely said to be a magic stone containing the power of the first Demon King, right?

But I was curious as to why Eclec possessed the magic stone of the first Demon King.

“It was in the upper carriage that Eclec had hijacked!”

“Really? So do you know which top it is and where it is headed?”

“Umm… ! I think I heard it was on the top of Havel and heading towards Muller’s Hill!”

Havel Merchant Marine is affiliated with Tonks Merchant Marine operated by Maxwell.

Muller’s Hill was a land where orcs lived.

Havel Merchant is delivering magic stones to the orcs?

It felt strangely backwards.

“Thank you. I will put this to good use.”

“Hihihi! If it helped you, I’m happy!”

The information Eclec gave was more valuable than the magic stone.

Adding up the price, I stroked Ecle’s hair to the point where it became tangled.

Eclec was smiling and happy, but he felt a stinging gaze from somewhere.

When I raised my head, I saw Lips staring at me from afar, as if envious.

My eyes and my restored vision seem to be functioning properly.

“Your younger brother is waiting. Hey, go back.”

“Yes! Oh! And I will definitely catch the pot-bellied man, so don’t forget your promise?”

“Okay, don’t worry, just go.”

“Hehe!”

Eclec returns to the bandits with his cute legs.

After that, the twins left with the bandits.

“… … Tsk, I don’t know if they’re trying to raise the size of the bandit group just to capture Maxwell alive.”

With the power of the hammer, Eclec and Rips became even stronger.

It was not surprising that they inflated their power based on that military power.

[no?]

“It doesn’t really matter, but I feel like I’ll really be called Daedu-ryeong by then.”

[The Great Leader… !]

It seems to be a favorite title for Iron Sword.

“Now that I think about it, I guess I should give you a name. Isn’t it affectionate to call it an iron sword forever?”

[Hurray! It’s sex! sex!]

“… … .”

It was an iron sword that felt like an old friend.
