Chapter 61: Getting New Equipnt
「Equipnt, ready?」
「Ou! It’s perfect!」
Four days after the farewell party we were at old man Gallus’s workshop.
We have been in this town for one month now. Today is the promised day.
『Has it gone well?』
「Gahahaha! It’s the best! It’s been the most enjoyable ti of my life!」
『Isn’t that exagerating it?』
We gave him C and D ranked monster materials. It’s certainly not weak but a blacksmith of Gallus’s level would definitely have worked with more advanced materials.
『Haven’t you created stronger equipnt before?』
「Nono, I didn’t an it is my best work ever」
「?」
「How to say it, it’s like I put my soul into it. That’s important! Well, I always but my soul into it. However, there are monts when I can do a particularly satisfying job」
Nope, I can’t really understand what you an…
「This was one of those tis. My skill, creativity, soul, and more. There are tis when they co together amazingly well」
『Well, what can we expect then?』
「Ou! This is armor blessed by God!」
「God?」
Gallus went to the back of the store and brought back a huge bag. He then put the contents on the counter with a confident expression.
「Take a look, this is the young lady’s new armor!」

Yes, that is horrifyingly powerful. It’s far stronger than our current equipnt, which we paid 150 000 for. It’s even superior to the expensive equipnt we took from Gyuran.
By the way, the equipnt we took from Gyuran is like this:

The equipnt made by old man Gallus has both excellent defensive power as well as effects. Moreover, it’s also lighter than our current equipnt? But, what does he an with them being blessed by God?
「This is my masterpiece, the Black Cat series!」
「Good na」
『But, it sounds too cute for an old man』
「Onn」
「Leave alone! Well, it wasn’t I who nad it as such」
「then, who nad it?」
「It was God」
「?」
「Owan?」
『What do you an?』
「What, you didn’t know? This is a “Nad Item”」
It seems Nad Items are special items given a na by a God. For example, if the God of Blacksmithing recognizes sothing made by a blacksmith then a na will be given to it by the God.
It seems legendary equipnt found in labyrinths often are Nad Items.
Divine protection will be granted only to the best created items, increasing their performance further.
「It is the highest honor a blacksmith can receive to have an item created by them be recognized by God. I thank you for giving that opportunity. My acquaintance who helped with the production also cried from joy. Thank you!」
『No no, we’re the ones who should thank you for such amazing equipnt』
「Gahahahaha! With the divine protection that equipnt can compete with equipnt created from Rank B monsters!」
『That’s amazing!』
「Moreover, the protection is amazing!」
『Eh? You an it’s not the resistances that’s the protection?』
「Well, you’ll get it sohow when you equip it」
「Got it」
We borrow a room in the back where Fran can put on the Black Cat series. The equipnt has a sense of unity with white fringing on a black background, which kind of resembles Fran.
The equipnt has both a boyish atmosphere and cuteness living together. Clothes with a hole for the tail. A pleasing outerwear with a collared big shirt in bisuche style. The jeweled clasp at the chest also adds femininity. It shows off her navel but I’ll forgive it since it’s cute.
Open-fingered gloves and boot-like shoes which covers her calves. The leather belt has a cowboy-like shape and can conceal a dagger. It even has a small Item Box which can hold about five potions. The platinum-colored earring doesn’t have much of a presence but it looks cute when Fran wears it.
The mantle reminds more of a raincoat rather than a mantle. Still, it’s light and supple, and it doesn’t disturb movent.
「Mostly non-tallic materials have been used. It was a real struggle to make leather this strong. The composite materials used to make the equipnt was created through imrsing the Tyrant Saber’s skin, the Doppel Snake’s scales and the Blast Tortoise’s shell in the Sli Lord which had been mixed with various reagents」
『Just hearing that is amazing』
「It was a series of failures before I was satisfied. Because it’s made with a special material it’s far stronger than common tal armor. Above all, it’s light」
Lightness is important. Fran uses speed and agility as her main attributes, so this is perfect equipnt for her. When I checked again, I noticed sothing.
『Black Cat’s Protection?』
「You noticed? It’s the effect of God’s blessing. Black Cat’s Protection is given while wearing the whole Black Cat Set. The effect is all status 10. In addition, it negates instant death effects. In exchange, it can only be used by the Black cat Tribe」
To get such protection from equipnt, isn’t that fantastic? All status 10 alone is a amazing. While it might not be quite as hard as heavy plate armor, considering its lightness it is definitely far better than that. It has a huge amount of effects and is as hard as tal fitted armor.
「Very cool」
『Moreover, it’s cute. Overpowered!』
「Right? It’s the strongest equipnt right. Gahaha!」
『Is it really all right for us to get this for free?』
「Yeah, that was the promise. Since I got all the extra material I still made a profit you know. Also, just being able to create that has been amazing, so I wouldn’t accept money even if you wanted. However――」
「However?」
「There is one thing I must tell you. This is equipnt of the highest quality. However, due to that, it requires a rather powerful demonic magic stone to repair damage to it. Which would be quite expensive…」
『About how much would it cost?』
「About 100 000 the first ti, then it’ll probably double each ti」
『Geh! That’s pretty bad』
「Yes. However, the mantle has Equipnt Self-Repair. That actually affects everything equiped so if you are not in a hurry you can just wait a few days for it to be restored」
That’s a relief. Then, maybe we won’t have to get it repaired ever. Phew, I rushed to conclusions.
『Then, next would be equipnt for Urushi』
「Is that your dog?」
『Aa, it seems that we have gotten a familiar. Is there any armor that can be equiped by a wolf?』
There are other problems as well. Urushi changes in size often. We can’t afford it breaking everything he does. If it fits when he’s small, it’ll probably strangle him when he grows big.
When I told Gallus about it he said it won’t be a problem.
「There are many armors with automatic size adjustnt functions. If you just get one with that it will be fine」
「Really?」
「On?」
「Ou! Leave it to . I can make it in two days」
『In that case we’ll rely on you』
「Ooon!」
『Then, how much would it be?』
「Let’s see… If I get 50 000 I could make sothing quite good」
「Good, please do」
After that, Urushi ended up licking and hitting old man Gallus with his wagging tail as he tried to take asurents, and other such things happened.
Since old man Gallus is quite tough it was fine, but a normal blacksmith would have had his life endangered. Or rather, isn’t this old man amazing? To take no damage from all that…
I guess I’ll have to seriously train Urushi to behave or we’ll have a serious incident so day.
「Where are you guys going next?」
「Ulmut」
「Hou. I’ve already done what I wanted to do in this town. Maybe I should head to Ulmut next?」
『Oh? Well, should we head there together then?』
If it’s old man Gallus he’s most welco to join us.
「By the way, what route will you be taking?」
『From here we’ll head south to Darth and take a ship to Barbola. From there we’ll head to Ulmut on land. It’s more expensive than only heading by land, but it’s also faster. More importantly, I want Fran to get to experience a journey by boat』
「Go together?」
「…I’m sorry, young lady. I don’t think I can go with you」
「?」
『Why?』
「…Dwarves are mountain folk」
「Nn」
「In other words, we’re not good with deep water. I can’t swim!」
I see, because he’s a dwarf. Certainly, when I look at Gallus he’s built like a boulder. He definitely doesn’t seem like he’d float.
「I see. Too bad」
「Kuu」
「I’m Sorry」
『Well then, I hope to et you again in Ulmot』
「Ou!」
