Chapter 303: Surprise

Sponsored chapter (10/10)

“One more day and I’ll finally be free…..”

“You sound like a criminal when you say it like that.”

Shana gave me a sharp rebuke, but finally tomorrow all the prohibitions would be lifted. I’ve been looking forward to that day.

“I’m not afraid to fight today, as long as I use my normal skills.”

“Do you think you can win with just your normal skills?”

“I don’t think so.”

Right now, the only things I can do in combat with normal skills are casting magic or throwing things. If that’s all I can do, I’d rather endure it until tomorrow and then move freely at once.

“Hm?”

The magic high-speed sensing reacted outside the house. Who is it, since it’s me, Sophie, Shana, and Carina here?

“Oh, it’s Elira.”

Upon closer inspection, one of the magical forces was Elira’s. I was wary for a moment, but quickly let it go.

“Nii-sama…how did you know Elira was here? There is no such effect in your  normal skills, is there? If there were, it would be the unique skill, Magic Fast Sensing, right? I’m sure you couldn’t have chosen to activate Magic Fast Sensing at will. Why…?”

“I’m going to go pick up Elira for a minute!”

I went outside to get away from Sophie and went to pick up Elira.

“Hey. Elira!”

“Oh, you! You’re awake…”

“Zeros-sama! Are you all right?”

“Oh, oh…!”

I ran to Eliela and the others. When he saw them, he called out to them. Then, Emily, the queen of the elves, responded faster than Elira. And she literally flew to me at high speed. My reply went a little funny because she was so fired up.

“Thanks to the high elixir, I was saved. Thank you very much.”

“I’m glad I gave it to you then. I will give it to you if I can create it again.”

“Ah! Thank you, but that doesn’t mean you have to make it, okay?”

“Yes!”

I don’t know how high elixir is made, but I know it is very hard work. I really don’t want her to force herself to create it.

“I’m glad you’re okay.”

“It seems as though you were worried about me. Thank you. And what about you, Elira, are you feeling okay?”

“I’m fine, compared to you.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”

Shana told me that Elira also collapsed after being poisoned in a battle with a demon. I was told that Elira woke up immediately after she was given an elixir to drink.

“Shall we head for the temporary base for now?”

“Yes.”

“Right.”

The three of us headed for the temporary base we had made with earth magic. Sophie offered us something to drink, and the six of us sat down around the table in chairs.

“I’ll get right to the point. The reason I called Elira and also the reason I came here this time is to give these to Zeros-sama.”

Emily-san put a new shirt, pants, shoes, gloves, and robes on the table.

“These are custom-made by the craftsmen of the elf village. I think they will all fit you well, Zeros-sama. Please try them on.”

“Eh? Is that kind of thing really okay? I’ll go put them on right away.”

I was originally not particular about my equipment, and I was using things that weren’t that expensive and could be found for sale anywhere around here. So I was excited to see such a good-looking piece of equipment. Moreover, the sleeves and gloves of my robe had also disappeared when my arms were erased, so it was the best timing. I put them on right away.

“These are so comfortable!”

I said, returning to the living room after putting them on.

The shirt was dark green and the pants were black and very comfortable.

In addition, the black shoes were shaped like work boots and looked quite sturdy, even though they were very light. And they were the right size.

The robe was not too loose, perhaps taking into account that I would be doing some close combat, and was more like a long hoodie, with slightly shorter sleeves so that it would not get in the way when I held my sword. The sleeves are also a little short so that they don’t interfere with holding the sword. The overall color of the robe is black, but there are yellow lines on the back, sleeves, and other parts of the robe that look like lightning.

The glove was also just the right size for my hand. I held and closed the glove to see how it felt, and it stretched well and felt good. The gloves are made a little thin, so there will be little adverse effect when holding the sword.

“I’m glad you like them! I used a lot of that cicada material and branches from the spirit tree for them!”

“Cicada? Eh? Cicada!?”

By Cicada, she must mean the cicada we battled that time in the village of elves.

“Yes! Especially that robe was made almost entirely from cicada wings. So it has a high regenerative capacity, and the robe is free to change size. So you can continue to use it forever. Ah! Of course, if you find a better robe than this one, you can use it as a spare.”

“What? Is it okay for me to have such a robe?”

“It was custom-made just for you, Zeros-sama, so please take it.”

“If that’s the case, I’ll be happy to take it.”

I was so happy to receive it even though I knew it was expensive because it was so comfortable to wear. It’s a custom-made item, and even if I return it, no one will equip it, so it’s fine, right?

“I really wanted to have one for everyone else, but after a lot of trial and error because of the rare material, the material is gone now.”

“Eh?”

What should I do…? I’m starting to regret getting it. You can’t use all the materials we gave the elves on me, can you? ……
