Kazuma and the others, having co into a large sum of money for the first ti in a while, said they were going to buy equipnt.
Yunyun, having also gotten back all the money she had lent to gumin, decided to go with them to buy necessary items. Chris, who had nothing to do, also went along.
At ho, I was making food to eat in case of ergency and dishes needed for the wedding. Since ti didn't pass inside my inventory, it didn't matter when I made them.
Having seen that in many creative works, having plenty of food always seed beneficial, I spent my free ti cooking at ho.
"There are so many post-apocalyptic and dystopian worldviews among the creative works, so I can't help it…"
Having made a considerable amount of food, evening soon arrived, and Kazuma and the others returned. They were all shiny and new, having bought good equipnt.
Kazuma, however, ca back carrying a very large sword on his shoulder. Looking closely, it seed to be the demon sword 'Gram'.
"Huh? Where did you get that?"
"On the way, a cheater who also ca to this world from another world challenged to a fight. I won and got this from him."
It seed 'Mitsurugi Kyouya' had already arrived in Axel Village. Mitsurugi Kyouya, like Kazuma, was a person who ca from Japan to this world.
Not knowing Aqua's true nature, he worshipped her as a goddess and pined for her. He was overflowing with a sense of justice and had been performing great deeds ever since coming to the Konosuba world.
However, because he relied on his magic sword to fight easily, he was extrely weak in unexpected situations or when he had to think on his feet.
So, unable to defend against Kazuma's unorthodox attacks and Steal attacks that relied on luck, he was quickly defeated without being able to do anything.
Wait a minute… Now that I think about it, isn't the demon sword Gram also made of Orichalcum?
"Kazuma, could I borrow that sword for a second?"
"Sure."
Kazuma handed the demon sword Gram to . I appraised the sword with [Appraisal]. As expected, it was a sword made of Orichalcum. I imdiately began analyzing its structure with [Eyes].
I was worried about where to get Orichalcum, but I got lucky.
After finishing the analysis, I returned it to Kazuma and asked,
"What are you going to do with this now?"
"Hmm, I was thinking of just selling it."
"Don't do that. Keep it and sell it back to its original owner. Sacred treasures can only be used by their owners. Besides, if he goes back to being active, it'll make things easier for us, right?"
Kazuma thought for a mont, then said,
"Hmm… that does make sense. I was thinking of giving him a hard ti since he's a bit of a jerk. But instead, I'll sell it to him for a high price."
"Yeah, do that. First, let's eat. It's ran today."
"Oh~ Really?"
When I served ran for dinner, everyone ate it deliciously. Kazuma, especially, perhaps because it was his first ran in a long ti, ate two bowls while crying.
After feeding the kids, I went to my room and used [Matter Manipulation] to create two katanas out of Orichalcum.
This ti as well, I made them without impurities and with a uniform atomic arrangent, so they seed likely to perform better than existing Orichalcum equipnt.
[As a result of analyzing Orichalcum, its strength is similar to Uru from the Marvel universe, and it shares the characteristic of being able to hold power. However, it is not a magic-friendly tal like Uru, but a mana-friendly tal.]
"Really? Then if I imbue it with mana, Orichalcum is the better tal."
[That is correct.]
Hearing Nano's analysis, it seed I was right to have confird this.
As it neared ti for Luna to finish work, I went to her house. Lately, I had been sleeping at Luna's house.
Strangely, pregnant Luna seed to have a definitely increased libido. But because of my size, I was worried it might be dangerous for the fetus, so I was just holding back.
"Um, Tae-jin, can't we just do it today?"
"It's early pregnancy, so it might be dangerous. If sothing goes wrong, you could miscarry."
This had been the situation for several days. So I asked Nano.
"Do all won have an increased libido when pregnant?"
[It varies from person to person. So won actually have a decreased libido due to hormonal changes.]
"Is it okay to have intercourse?"
[During the first 1-3 months (the first trister), the fetus is implanting in the uterus and organs are forming, so you need to be careful.
However, starting from the second trister (4-6 months), as long as you are not too rough, you can enjoy it. During the third trister (7-10 months), there is a risk of premature birth, so it's best to refrain.]
"So you're saying I have to wait at least three months."
[That is correct.]
"That can't be helped…"
Having heard Nano's advice, I had no choice but to satisfy her occasionally by using my hands.
A few days passed, and finally the wedding approached. We prepared to receive the guests at the mansion. Luna had many things to prepare with the help of the won, but since I only needed to put on my suit, I helped by setting out the food from my inventory. When it was ti, I also went to my room, changed into my suit, and ca out.
It seed like every adventurer in Axel Village had co to the wedding. Partly because of my achievents at the Guild, but also because of Luna, who was famous as the beautiful Guild receptionist. There were especially many male adventurers crying.
"Bride entering~"
Wooo~~!!
Luna was made up, dressed beautifully in a white dress, and was walking slowly, guided by an older male Guild staff mber. As I felt every ti I got married, all won in wedding dresses were beautiful.
A priest of the Eris Church officiated the ceremony. Because of this, Aqua went wild, but frankly, I didn't want that kind of divine blessing.
"May the blessing of Lady Eris be upon the groom and bride for their future lives together… Groom, you may kiss the bride."
I gently kissed Luna's lips as she shyly blushed.
"I hereby declare you husband and wife."
Wooo~~~!!!
"Congratulations!! Silver Flash!!"
"Be happy, Luna!!"
"Another beautiful woman taken off the market."
After the wedding ceremony, Luna threw the bouquet. It was a spectacular sight to see the female adventurers trampling over each other in a frenzy to catch it.
And so, everyone enjoyed the delicious food and alcohol until night, laughing and chatting, then returned to their respective hos.
The next day was the day Luna was moving into our house, so it was a bit busy. We decided to have movers take her belongings, and we put Luna's house up for disposal.
Since Luna was pregnant, we would only be quietly sleeping for the ti being, so having Kazuma and the others around probably wouldn't be a problem.
After Luna's belongings were organized, Kazuma, Yunyun, and Chris gathered for a simple welco party for Luna.
"They're still newlyweds. I just hope no strange sounds co from Tae-jin's room."
Aqua giggled, looking at Luna and , and made a strange remark.
"Nothing like that will happen. It's dangerous because she's pregnant. So don't startle Luna either. She could miscarry."
"I see. We'll be careful."
A few days passed, and Luna began to experience morning sickness, so she decided to take a break from her Guild work. So I was constantly by her side taking care of her when Kazuma ca to visit.
"Tae-jin, we got a mansion too. Through a mage nad Wiz, we took on a quest, and as compensation, we were allowed to stay in the mansion."
"That's good news. Then I'll help you move your belongings."
"No, Luna is having a hard ti these days, so just stay here. Our belongings are nothing much."
"Then I'll co visit soti."
"Yeah."
Just like in the original story, Kazuma and his party got acquainted with Wiz, took the mansion quest, and obtained a base of operations.
Kazuma and the others packed their belongings and left. The only people left in the house were Yunyun and Chris. However, Chris was always out and about and rarely at ho.
The next day, soone ca from the Guild.
"Tae-jin-sama, the course of the mobile fortress Destroyer is suspicious. So we have a request. Could you please predict its course? Of course, we will pay you a generous reward."
The ti had finally co. The mobile fortress Destroyer was a giant spider-type robot built long ago by a Japanese person who ca to this world.
Not only was its destructive power imnse, but its defense was also transcendent, making it a formidable foe that could withstand even gumin's Explosion magic. Since I was likely the strongest person in the village, it seed they were requesting .
"Very well. I'll look into it."
Hearing this, Luna, who had been listening from the side, spoke with a worried expression.
"Tae-jin, the Destroyer might be very dangerous."
"Don't worry. It's just a reconnaissance. And from now on, you should call 'dear'."
"U-ugh… D-dear…"
Luna, extrely embarrassed, called 'dear'. Still being newlyweds, the word 'dear' didn't seem to co easily to her.
"Well, I'll be right back. Take care of yourself."
"Okay."
This ti, I left Yunyun behind and moved alone. The reason for this was that I intended to hack the Destroyer and use it for myself. Also, I wanted to secure the Destroyer's technology.
Honestly, with my current level of technology, I could probably create sothing similar, but the Destroyer contained new knowledge where magic and machinery were fused together, so I was determined to obtain it.
I went outside the village and moved quickly to the Destroyer. The Destroyer was walking through a Grand Canyon-like terrain, making chanical noises.
Its course, as in the original story, was toward Axel Village. In the original story, Kazuma, Wiz, and all the village adventurers were mobilized to protect the village, but doing so would result in the Destroyer's destruction. So I had to handle it here.
I imdiately teleported inside the Destroyer. The Destroyer had a magic defense barrier, but since my teleportation wasn't magic, I could easily enter.
As soon as I entered, Golems, the Destroyer's defense system, attacked , but I slashed them quickly as I moved. I eventually reached the control room where the corpse of the Destroyer's creator lay and hacked the Destroyer.
Then the Destroyer stopped moving and stood still.
[Destroyer standing by. Next command.]
"Okay, done!"
I changed the command authority of the Destroyer to myself via hacking, then analyzed Coronatite, the engine inside the Destroyer, and after finding all the various data in the Destroyer, I put everything into my inventory.
Unfortunately, Coronatite was a mineral created by absorbing the energy of ley lines underground for several thousand years. It was possible to copy the mineral itself, but not the energy contained within.
"That's a bit disappointing. Oh well, can't be helped."
I ordered the Destroyer to patrol the surrounding area and then returned to the Guild to receive my reward. With this, I had obtained a powerful weapon.
The next day, Luna was feeling much better, so Yunyun, Chris (who was ho for the first ti in a while), and I went to visit the mansion Kazuma had supposedly acquired.
"Hey~ Kazuma, we're here."
"Oh~ Co on in!"
We looked around the inside of the house.
"You got a nice mansion."
"Right? But it was tough at first because of the ghosts."
"Still, you seem to have handled it well."
"Yeah, with Aqua around, we took care of it easily."
I took out a katana made of Orichalcum from my inventory and handed it to Kazuma.
"This is a housewarming gift. It's a sword made of the legendary tal Orichalcum, so it won't be easily destroyed."
"The legendary tal Orichalcum?"
"Yeah. I made it while I was making mine."
"I see! Thanks."
"And if you write a na on this tag and attach it to the hilt, you can na the sword. Choose the na carefully."
I handed Kazuma a tag that allows naming an item.
"I see. Great! What should I na it? Hmm... Muramasa... Masamune? Katetsu... Kikuchimonji... No, that's not it..."
As Kazuma was pondering, gumin suggested a na.
"Chunchunmaru."
"Huh? What did you say?"
"I said Chunchunmaru. This sword's na is Chunchunmaru."
Kazuma, dumbfounded, said,
"Could I give it such a weird na? As my sword, I need a cool na... huh?"
Kazuma looked at the sword while thinking of a cool na.
But the tag with 'Chunchunmaru' written on it was already engraved on the hilt and turning to ash as it disappeared. It seed gumin had quickly written 'Chunchunmaru' on the tag and attached it.
"Aaaagh!!!"
"From today on, this sword's na is Chunchunmaru."
"What have you done!!! Sigh... This is insane. If, by so chance, this sword is used to defeat the Demon King, it'll be put on display in a museum with a plaque saying 'The holy sword Chunchunmaru wielded by the legendary hero'!"
"I took the trouble to give it a nice na. What's your problem?"
Kazuma and gumin bickered. The sword was different, but Kazuma's sword ended up with the sa na as in the original story: 'Chunchunmaru'.
"Co on, co on. Enough with the lover's quarrel."
Hearing my words, their faces turned bright red, and they both shouted simultaneously,
"We're not lovers!!"
"We're not lovers!!!"
