"Impossible. For such a thing to come to this place! "
I was running.
Sometimes I would look back, at the dark threats that cut down trees while closing myself up.
It's not like someone's gonna help me.
The only chance for me is for this bastard to give up on chasing me.
No matter what, I can't bring that thing to the village.
That's why I can't run towards the village.
If I do that, it will devour all my friends with pleasure.
The Black Disaster Spider
That's what it is.
I don't know if it has a name as an individual.
There are rumors that deep in the forest there is a powerful monster named Arke who lives in it. Its upper body is human while its lower part is spider, they say it is a strange-looking parent but that is not a sure thing.
What I do know is, it has been around for a long time, suddenly appearing and very hungry to its fullest extent.
The name Calamity fits that perfectly.
It's not just us. There is no one in the whole world that he will not hate.
Living things and things too.
Anyway, it'll eat anything.
We can't communicate so there's no way to negotiate.
If we can hurt him badly we can defeat him, but unfortunately we do not have the potential for such a war.
“Why does this thing appear when I'm alone ?!”
I just curse my misfortune.
As we exited the forest filled with obstructions, the distance between that thing and me decreased in an instant.
It seems my time has come.
I really didn't think I could run any faster, and I couldn't feel it was going to give up.
Giving up on running, I straightened my back and used the giant axe I carried. I turned my back to the spider.
My chances of winning are practically nonexistent.
After all, even when I took out my weapon to deal with it, this spider showed no signs of stopping.
Damnit damnit!
“Don't underestimate me!”
I diverted the large body of the rushing spider by swinging my axe to the side.
Even if I go into the forest with an ax, it does not mean that I am a lumberjack.
The handle was long, large, and double-edged, its gleaming red axe was incredible.
That's one of my masterpieces.
I think it's good enough to write it down but when comparing it to a really great one, it's still not comparable. I can't agree to it.
When I get out of this, I will do closed-door training from the start.
The spider retreated slightly from my attack.
But as soon as his quick feet came to me.
It may be a monotonous attack but the attacks are many.
What I have in my hand is a two-headed axe.
Even if I stay, obviously it's not right.
"You bastard, this .. will always be your fucking turn"
In the joints of the feet I can see a lot of textures that do not seem hard.
I can see it but, an important attack will not reach.
Even when I switched to offensive, I was repelled by a hard shell and I was unable to do any damage at all.
Not just as a craftsman. I should have practiced a little bit with that weapon.
No, I'm not wrong.
If I couldn't even make the right weapon and I started to worry about how to use it, no matter how much time I had, I would never be the best!
Not to cut or cut.
I positioned my axe like a spear, I pointed it at the spider.
"Take this!!"
I screamed as I activated it.
From the tip of the axe, the flame began to spin and immediately covered the entire body of the spider.
Yes, it's done !!
This time I will definitely hit the place and…
"W-What?"
A scene that is unbelievable.
In the swirling fire.
The spider is eating it.
Making his mouth bigger, to the amazement he was clearly split apart.
The fire axe that is still being produced, it eats it like it is drinking water.
The fire did not penetrate his body.
It was just gathering in his mouth right now.
Is this thing really a living thing?
No matter that my plan was ruined, I thought of such a foolish thing while being dumbfounded.
I didn't even realize it was in front of me.
A high-pitched voice echoed in my ears.
A blunt and large impact shook both my hands.
A spider that shuts its mouth full of energy.
The distance between me and him is very close.
The creature was chewing something.
I soon discovered the reason for the impact I received and the sound echoed.
What was on top of the handle that was in my hand disappeared.
It's been eaten.
The spider ate my axe.
The sound of crushed metal felt very loud in my ears.
The inside of my head became empty.
Not okay.
It's not good.
My spirit to fight has been crushed to its roots.
I felt the energy in my legs drain.
“UoAAAaaaaa !!!”
I pushed the waist that felt like it was about to fall out with my screams.
This is not for fighting.
Throwing the axe that only had the handle left, I ran at full speed.
It's not an opponent I can win.
Instead, I will definitely be preyed upon.
Now that I think about it, that is the conclusion I imagined.
Seeing my weapon eaten before my eyes, I was encouraged to run away by my fears.
At this moment, reason would not help anything.
I already knew what would happen when I turned around to escape.
Even when I knew all that I still chose to run.
In terms of time it might be only a few seconds but when I felt shivering in my body, I was flung forward by a powerful blow from behind.
But what I can do, what I have to do will not change.
If my legs can move, I run.
Even if only for a moment I'll get away with it.
I don't want to fight that anymore.
Thrown and fallen many times, my consciousness began to blur.
If I stop moving, I will die.
To think that so much power was asleep inside me. This awareness made me try harder.
But it finally came.
I couldn't move properly now and the spider came towards me, showing its sharp teeth.
Not good, it's scary.
I've been a very old parent but I'm willing to look at it.
Closing my eyes, I waited for my end.
…
But suddenly, my body felt light.
I stayed there with my eyes closed.
I couldn't move at all, I had no choice.
My whole life has ended.
There is no way to be saved.
…
But I could not feel the presence of the spiders approaching.
What the hell's going on?
Opening my eyes a little, I saw someone holding me.
Is there a shadow of someone?
Well, I don't have time to check my surroundings.
Could someone see me and save me?
Can such a convenient event happen?
"If I do this with a young woman it will be fine but doing this with a bearded old man like you just makes her feel disgusting"
“Uh?”
Opening my eyes properly, I examined the person carrying my body.
That's a young lady.
A hyuman?
She had a slim body and was wearing strange clothes. A blue haired woman.
Even though he obviously hates me. He looked at me with cold eyes that seemed to scorn me.
The reason might be because my eyes were closed and just waiting for whatever was to come.
He said it a moment ago.
“Heard that it was noisy outside, I checked it but thought I would meet with such a thing. Black Calamity Spider huh ”(Female)
“K-You are?” (The old man)
"You? Be careful how you talk to me. Fumu, but the spider. For Misumi-sama's training, it might be the perfect opponent. Such a strange and simple is appropriate to build resistance to "(Women)
Whatisit? He was talking about something I don't understand.
But now, what happened to that spider?
Somehow moving my neck, I tilted my head.
Just because it's my body.
The spider was somewhere a little far away from where I was and he was struggling, trapped by something that looked like something was blurred.
Is that something he did?
“Did you save me?” (The old man)
“It looks like you are a person who does not know etiquette. I could just throw you out, you know? Wait, are you... dwarf? ” (Women)
Does he know about us?
After all, did he tell me to remember my words in my body state?
It's true he saved me, in this situation I have to do that.
How exhausting.
“I'm named Beren. An old dwarf "(Beren)
“Hoo! I thought, dwarf! Fumufumu. Good. You have luck. I'll save you "(Woman)
In that skinny body, where did he get all that power?
A woman with a haughty attitude easily carried me.
In the daughter's car.
"That hurts!" (Cool)
“Fuu, it's not a fatal wound. Try to hold on a little. I'll cure her later ”(Woman)
"That's gonna help me a lot" (Beren)
“It's okay. It was a gift because it brought something interesting. Fufu, spider yes. Hey, if you want to come then come. My master will take you "(Woman)
The woman declared so to the struggling spider. While carrying me, we entered something hazy that seemed to be created by him.
A fuzzy feeling that entered my nose. What is this fog?
Anyway, I might be saved.
From that totally hopeless situation.
◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
"Looks like you're okay now" (Woman)
“Thank you, I've gotten away with my life. Again, my name is Beren. I'm living in a volcanic belt a little far from where you saved me. I'm an old dwarf "(Beren)
“I Shen. I still haven't received a name. You've seen it, I'm officer Misumi-sama "(Woman)
“Makoto-sama? So that's how it is. He defeated the spider "
I don't remember everything.
I lost consciousness in the middle. All I remember was when I was carried by the woman who called herself Shen, the boy was fighting the black spider.
A spider that I can't even lift a finger, the boy fought well with just a dagger.
Cutting off his legs, no matter how many times he regenerated, he continued without concern. In the middle of it he used magic and brought it to a favorable position. That fire arrow must be his specialty.
Until then I was still conscious but if I was currently receiving treatment, it meant that he was able to defeat the spider and send it home.
I see, so his name is Makoto.
He not only had the power to fight against black spiders alone.
Shen even used –sama to refer to him. I should call him Makoto-sama as well.
I better add –sama to Shen too.
“Umu. It was a bit unexpected for me, but in general it can be solved without the problem "(Shen)
“You can scare spiders, right? That's good ”(Beren)
“Scare away is. It's more appropriate to say we destroyed it and made it subservient "(Shen)
“Wa?” (Cool)
Broken down?
Send it?
"Misumi-sama let the spider get beaten up" (Shen)
"Teaching?" (Cool)
“When I thought he was going to start running and was about to chase after him, the spider, I didn't know he was thinking but he started cowering in Misumi-sama” (Shen)
"Get?!" (Cool)
"Then, when I thought it was going crazy from hunger, before I realized it, his stomach was completely filled" (Shen)
"Letting the old curse go private"
“??????”
What'd he say?
“Yeah, although it has only been a while since he made a contract with me. Even such a pervert was attracted to him. How troublesome that person is Misumi-sama "(Shen)
No-no.
That's not a point, is it?
“K-You said it was to be someone. For interested? Um, can you explain it in a more understandable way? ” (Beren)
Without holding it back I asked for an explanation.
It was because I had given up thinking about it with my head so I had no choice.
“It's like I told you. The spider was released from hunger and became human. And then, from the bottom of his heart, he was attracted to Misumi-sama. Therefore, the Black Disaster Spider will not appear anywhere in the world anymore ”(Shen)
There are no spiders anymore.
It can be counted as a catastrophe in the world.
That thing has become attached to Makoto-sama ?!
"Wait, wait" (Beren)
“Now, you seem to have been able to move so let's go say hello to Misumi-sama. Hey, come on ”(Shen)
Wawawawawaiti! (Cool)
"What'sthat? Very noisy "(Shen)
"Wait a minute! That's the Black Calamity Spider ?! Even if you defeat it, annihilating it is impossible. Putting aside his strength, it was the most evil calamity you know ?! That's impossible, too unlikely! " (Cool)
“If you don't believe it, you can see the girl who was once a spider, next to Misumi-sama. Let's go "(Shen)
“Nononono! Before, I knew nothing about you guys. I hope you can explain it to me more before meeting Makoto-sama. By the way, where am I? It must be some kind of teleportation but I have never heard there are so many green places around! ” (Beren) [TN: Omg Beren close F * already]
Anyway I keep babbling.
That's because I don't understand what's going on.
It's possible that if I were to be explained, I wouldn't be able to understand it.
But, a situation like this and then suddenly the boy. I know that it is not good to meet Makoto-sama.
Because he might be a very dangerous company.
“I have explained it to you since some time ago. I am Misumi-sama's servant. Making a powerful contract I became a servant, Shen. And Misumi-sama is my master. This place is A Sora (TL: Sub-paradise). Me and the landlord. The spider is a new servant who is now coming to serve Misumi-sama. End "(Shen)
“This is not 'Late'! I still don't understand anything. After all, a powerful contract was not something that was possible between two people! " (Cool)
"of course. I'm not a person. I told you I was Shen. Know ye? Shen mirage controller. In this desert was someone that many people should know. Did I sleep too long to be forgotten? ” (Shen)
Shen-sama seems a little depressed.
Contract in power, it was one of the contract magic used by its owner to make contracts with demon monsters or mamono or even low-level spirits.
This was certainly supposed to be the most beneficial contract for magic users.
Makoto-san?
Right, Misumi-sama is called Makoto-sama.
He repeatedly said that he was his master.
In other words, the one who is under control is Shen-sama.
And this woman is not human.
Maybe because of the contract he became someone.
Based this.
Shen.
Shen mirage controller.
An existence known to everyone in this vast desert.
?????
Wowawa, that's impossible.
Is that possible?
“Shen mirage controller? Sleeping too much? !!! ???? Don't tell me you're the Dragon Mist Mirage, Shen ?! Supreme Dragon, Shen the "invincible" one" ?! " (Cool)
"What's? You really know me. For a while trying to lie to me, you got the guts "(Shen)
“B-Not it! Impossible, why would something like a Supreme Dragon make a ruling contract with someone, RULE ?! ”
The powerful contract with the Supreme Dragon ?!
Eh? Eeeehs?
“Hei, Beren. You!" (Bus)
Im. at my limit.
"This bastard, he's lost consciousness" (Shen)
This was a normal reaction, which I denied to Shen-sama as my consciousness faded.
◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
“What I said is all true! This, this was an unprecedented opportunity! ” (Beren)
I have returned to the old dwarf village.
After that my consciousness recovered and with a calmer mind, I asked to meet with Makoto-sama.
Makoto-sama is the one who has tremendous magic power seeping out from her body, the gentle person.
I could feel the immaturity, he looked like a boy who was not that old.
In the abundant place they called Asora, I tried to ask her to let us move there and practically all were positive answers, I felt she was a person I could get along well with.
But the one beside Shen-sama and the black-haired woman, the Black Calamity Spider.
Without a doubt he was not a normal existence. He was someone who had made both of them serve under him.
And I was shown his ability, even if only a little.
I can be convinced enough.
As I regained my composure in the middle of the conversation with Makoto-sama, I started to get interested in their equipment.
When I am interested in something, I become unstoppable.
Those three great existences, even though they were strong, they obviously did not use equipment that matched their strength.
Makoto-sama seems to be using a relatively good dagger but when I ask Shen-sama, he says that his skill is actually using a bow.
He was able to defeat the spider without using his special weapon.
How many…
No, I need to stop thinking about this.
Right now it's not important.
After all, Makoto-sama's specialty, bow, he only brought the ones who looked regretful.
Considering the repayment, I proposed that I make equipment for them.
They even accepted the migration so, thank you for that as well.
I'm not the village chief or anything like that. I know the state of our village.
We, the old dwarves, make a lot of strong armor.
We only give equipment to suitable people, but since they know of our whereabouts, there will be people who want it.
Just as hyumans and demi-humans do, living in such an abundant place in the middle of the city, the risk is too great.
For us there are several places to suit our needs.
First, where we can get good quality materials.
The other is where the owner will protect ourselves and the equipment.
Lastly, the place where we can stay.
After all, we don't live by making armor. It should, at the very least, be possible to hunt to what extent we can live. The condition is not very serious.
We are looking for such a place that can give us this in a balanced way. When we stepped into the desert, we started living our lives as hermits.
Just staring at the armor.
But, the chairman sometimes talks about the most appropriate place and the ideal place we should go.
I remember those words and somewhere in my heart, I agreed. On one hand, I have not a single doubt in asking Makoto-sama to migrate.
Let's say.
The equipment we made with all our strength ended up attracting a powerful finish.
The strongest settlement is the ideal place we should head to.
I can understand his feelings.
But I consider it only as an ideal.
Because at some point, we had to limit ourselves and make weapons that people could fit.
Ignoring users and creating weapons that go beyond the potential of the person using them, there are some of them but I just need to question the action.
But, if all three.
It was possible that, even a weapon so powerful that it ignored the user's commodities, they might be able to master it.
No, not only that. We have to enter the difficult path to make weapons that suit them, no, this may be the route of ultimate happiness.
Exactly right.
I can't mess with this negotiation at any cost.
“But Beren. That you can escape from a spider is good luck, that you are saved is a grateful thing. For it to be compensation you are fine but, to believe in your words immediately kind of encourages it isn't it? After all, do you really think you can make a weapon suitable for them? "
"wait. For now I will invite everyone to reply to them "(Beren)
“Fumu. Not good if it's just me and you? ”
—–
“What an incredible place ?! Moreover, the 3 people I spoke of were strong enough to make you laugh. To make equipment for the strong, isn't that the goal we are aiming for ?! ” (Beren)
“The strongest solution yes. That's what I said "
"Then please look at this!" (Cool)
The attitude of the chief doesn't seem to cut him off. At this level I will not be able to reach the conclusion I expected.
I took my trump card.
“I-It... !!!!!”
“To prove what I said was true. Supreme Dragon, Dragon Scale Shen "(Beren)
"What a!! Umu, I have never seen Shen's scale but this is not the scale of any normal dragon I can understand. It wasn't something that happened to fall somewhere nearby, was it? ”
With hands full of land, the chieftain examined the scale of the dragon given. His eyes were open, he had the face of a craftsman who was assessing his material.
He has fallen to 80%.
That's what I thought while looking at the chief's face.
"Not only that. They have weapon information I've never heard of before. To migrate to Asora for us is ... "(Cool)
"Your general" (TN: The voice thinks aloud)
Now that it has come to this, I just have to push it to the end.
Taking him to Asora, just by presenting him to the three, the answer of a craftsman should be only one.
High quality dragon scales that one might never get. I pushed and pushed and pushed until the end.
◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆
“Waka-sama is currently in seclusion and learning the language, Beren” (???)
“Looks like he's headed to the Hyumans. As his words were unsuccessful, he received an attack from the hyumans "
“He can easily talk to us, the lizardman and Arke. It's very irritating. Even if I say so, when he came back he didn't have a single injury "
“Ya true. How mysterious is that person? "
I heard voices from the tribal chief's place, with only my head peeking and hiding with a mask, I continued what I was doing.
Waka-sama looks most like Misumi-sama.
Shen-sama is now called Tomoe-sama and the spider was named Mio-sama by Misumi-sama. (TN: There are so many –sama I can feel the honor)
The two great existences seemed to be, named by Misumi-sama.
Wakka-sama. It seems like that is how Misumi-sama is called now.
That day, I managed to convince the chieftain and was safely able to bring everyone to Asora.
Seeing that abundant world they were deeply touched. Then we met the previous inhabitants, the highland orcs, the fog lizards, and the Arke whose name I just heard.
As I expected, when the craftsmen saw Makoto-sama, they shivered.
My hands were shaking, like a reaction. (TN: They really want to work)
Hearing their request, everyone started to make various kinds of weapons.
Consider the highland orcs and Mist lizards as well.
Exactly right.
As if that was a natural thing, we started living in Asora.
There was almost no reason to refuse, so it was not strange.
The Supreme Dragon, the Black Disaster Spider, and the person who arranged them were both Makoto-sama.
All the weapons that should have been made exceeded the limit, they were all incomparable to them. We are desperate and at the same time very happy.
Various masterpiece bows were given several times to Misumi-sama but some of them even broke up.
It should have used the user's power to some point. For a weapon that cannot handle the user is something that does not usually happen.
It's catchy.
With a trembling voice the bow craftsmen muttered.
———-
“But, for the cursed ring made in a hurry and use the mask to secretly. This is beyond my expectations "
"Fulse. How's it going on the ring side? "
“Umu, not that complicated. After all, it only has the effect of sucking the magic power of its user ”
“Truly damned ring. Fufufufufu ”
“This is not a laughing matter. For starters it should at least have good effectiveness. When I got the request to make the show better and not think about the health of the body, I was surprised that they gave me a ring filled with darkness. The good thing is that it can be removed at any time "
“I also heard it later. I want to be there too "
“It was a cursed ring effect created using its material to the maximum. In the end, we managed to create a foundation. Later we just need to make the effectiveness better ”
“Oooh! There is progress there ”
“Increase this potency, can from white ring to red. To make the ring of darkness fill, what about Beren? "
“On my side, I just need to do the engraving on the back. When I complete this creation, in order to hide one's identity, this will do the job properly. After all this is not for waka-sama, but for those who see waka-sama, demi-humans and hyumans ”(Beren) (TN: Meaning it is easier to fool demi-humans and hyumans than stupid Makoto)
"That's right. Then let's do one more push. When this is done, we will be able to enter the manufacture of armor for waka-sama and the others correctly ”
"Yes, I really want to"
Turning his shoulders, the chieftain disappeared into the workshop with a simple ring.
Waka-sama came out of the desert and arrived at one of the hyuman headquarters.
But he can't communicate with them.
It could not use the common language of humans, and moreover had a terrifying magic power seeping out of its body. They began to see him as a threat.
Being extremely depressed, he returned to Asora.
Having such great fighting power but being like this was truly an imbalance.
He's young, is that how I should have seen him?
When I asked, I found out that waka-sama was only 17 years old.
Moreover, in his entire life, the only time he fought in a proper fight was twice, making him a complete novice. To fight such a black spider.
It made me think that not having the inexperienced part was actually strange.
Right now he is sequestered in his room and is learning a common language and at the same time helping us a little bit in the making of that ring.
Well, eventually their side will be able to handle it somehow.
For me, there is something I have to think about, no matter what.
Misumi-sama's armor.
With these materials.
In order for that person and the people around him to be impressed, I wanted to make such armor.
Even the great veterans standing at the top were like children with glittering eyes, in their workshops conducting trials all day long.
In the name of an older dwarf.
I'll make you the right gear for this great one.
That's why Misumi-sama, please ...
Do your best.
