Episode 6: The magic sword has revived

It was when I was about to leave the weapon shop and enter the inn.

"I heard that the fire was extinguished ... but it's really so!"

An old man who seems to be the owner of the weapon shop stood surprised in front.

"Was it you danna ...?"

"I just adjusted the humidity a little and it went out. I'm glad I could put it out early."

"Oh hell! I don't know what “Shitsudo” is, but the danna-sama really saved me! What's your name?"

{TN: Shitsudo means humidity}

"Yuki Matsuzaki. It's a strange name, but don't worry. Yuki is fine."

It seems that Japanese names are difficult to say in this world.

"Hmm, Yuki? Then Yuki, can you wait here for a moment!?"

"Well, it's okay if it's a little bit."

When I replied, the owner rushed into the store.

Moments later, the shopkeeper came out with a sword in a jet-black scabbard.

"Yuki, thank you so much for protecting my shop. This is for you."

"……this is?"

"It's called the magic sword Berserk. It's said that it was used by the Violent demon king of the mythical era. It's worn out, but if you sell it, you’ll get a reasonable sum."

"Magic sword ... isn’t that precious?"

"If we’re talking about precious, it is, but now it's just an ornament. It's against my principle to sell a weapon that can't be used. Let me do this "

Since the fire was extinguished while small, the shop could stay running.

As someone who lost his job I could sympathize with him wanting to thank me.

I'll gratefully receive it then, rather than the  magic sword, it’s the feelings of the shop owner.

"Thank you. I'll accept it."

"Umu,  you really helped me, now I can keep going..."

The shopkeeper sighed and looked towards his shop.

The magic sword is heavier than it looks, It must have been really strong back in the day.

As we were checking in at the inn, I faced a new problem.

"Are you sure you want one room?"

"No, make it two rooms"

It would be dangerous if I and Aleria are in the same room.

It's dangerous for young men and women (at least in appearance) to spend the night together. Even if no mistakes are made, I could die socially.

"One room is fine"

"Huh? What are you talking about, two rooms?"

"Didn’t you want to save money ... it's half the price if we take one room, right?"

"That's right, but ... what if we make a mistake? No, I'm not such a man, but Aleria you’re, you know?"

"I don't mind if we make a mistake!"

"That's exactly why I want two rooms."

"You're not listening!? If we don't take one room, I won't pay!"

Yeah, I guess this is a problem of what I don’t have.

"... Okay, it's just staying in the same room? Nothing strange, no grey developments. Is that fine?"

"I'll decide that!"

"... Is that fine?"

"If Yuki says so much, then I guess it’s fine for today ..."

"OK, it's a deal"

In this way, our lodgings were decided.

We’re paying for one week. Food expenses are also high, so during this time I have to become an adventurer and earn money.

"It's a beautiful room even though it's two silvers per night!"

"It's just like it’s reputation. It seems worth the money."

Human sleep time is about 8 hours. This occupies one-third of the day.

Besides sleeping, you spend a lot of time in your room. This is my theory, but I feel that whether or not you can spend this time comfortably or not is the difference between whether or not you will have a fulfilling life.

It’s only natural to be comfortable in an expensive inn. I’m glad I researched how to spend cheaply and comfortably during my company slave era.

"So, how do you see this magic sword Berserk?"

I heard from the owner of the weapon shop that this weapon is useless.

"It's rusty."

"Right"

When I pulled the sword out of its scabbard, a rusty blade appeared.

Although rusty, it is a very cool-looking sword and gives off a profound feeling.

No wonder it's valuable as an ornament.

I swing the sword lightly. I used to do kendo in high school physical education, but I feel like I can master it with the skills I learned in this world.

"Yu, Yuki, it’s glowing !?"

"eh?"

Certainly, the magic sword Berserk was glowing black-purple at the blade.

What’s going on?

The brilliance of the blade doesn’t subside, on the contrary, it grows brighter and brighter, approximately one minute later, The black-purple light has completely covered the sword.

It looks like the little light is dimming now.

<< Succeeded in automatic repair of "Magic Sword Berserk"! Repair rate 10%>>

I could hear the machine like voice, the same one as when I learn a new skill.

"Hey, Yuki, the rust is gone!"

"That's true. Maybe I can use it ...?"

"Amazing! You can't buy a magic sword with even if you have money, and if you can master it, no one can be your enemy !?"

"Oh! That means I don't have to buy a new weapon? This was profitable!"

" That’s your problem!?"

Not sure why it was fixed, but I have revived the magic sword Berserk.
