Chapter 310 – Weapon Management (2)

“Mi, Mianta, sister… I don’t even know if my sister actually used it…”

“It’s okay because I was wrong in the first place. I should have been honest from the beginning that I was living for my own use.”

“Gi-Gi-Rae… Did you say harsh words to my older sister…”

“The thing that Areum was angry with you in the first place wasn’t the part where you used the weapon badly, but the part where you didn’t come to repair your own weapon, right? I don’t have anything to sting about in that part, so what you said to Areum has nothing to do with me.”

“Is that wrong?”

“And since I don’t want to make Areum feel awkward with you over trivial things like this, let’s not argue further with this story.”

“Ah, I see, sister! As expected, unnie has a big heart, ahaha!”

It wasn’t because I was particularly broad-minded, but because I felt burdened to delve deeply into this part, so I quickly changed the topic.

If we continue to talk about this topic in depth, it will eventually lead to the fundamental question of ‘why did you put out the harpoon like this?

If so, I would have to continue explaining about the explosion magic created by my fire magic and Cha Yu-ri’s wind magic.

In addition to being able to use both swordsmanship and spearmanship, if I had to confess my magic-type abilities, that would also become complicated in many ways.

There were many cases of Hunters simply using the same Awakening ability in several ways, but Hunters who dealt with awakening abilities of completely different tendencies, melee and magic, were themselves unusual.

If I asked Areum, I would have to answer honestly, but it would have been better if I hadn’t argued and passed on easily.

I passed the story without even asking how to use fire magic, and I returned to the original topic again.

“Anyway, so I’m sorry, but Areum wants to ask you to repair it this time too.”

“Ah, I see. It’s a job that my sister entrusts, of course! I’ll put it on neatly like it’s brand new and give it back to you!”

“Thank you, beautiful.”

“… Heh, heh?!”

As Ah-Reum quickly returned to her innocent expression and spoke confidently, she looked cute for a moment, so she inadvertently stroked her hair with her right hand.

It was only when I saw her blushing with her embarrassed voice that I realized that I had been wrong for a moment.

“Oh sorry… In the part of her reach, inadvertently…”

“Oh, no, dog hits… My sister can stroke her brother’s hair a little bit…”

“… That’s right.”

To be honest, I wasn’t her older sister, and Areumie wasn’t her younger sister, but she didn’t bother to mention that part.

“Geundi sister, Monga’s hands are so natural. Do you have any siblings?”

“I don’t have any real siblings, and it’s been quite a while since I’ve known my close friends and younger siblings.”

“A boy?”

“No, there are two of them, and they are both girls.”

“If you’re a boy, you tease me by saying that you and I are like that, but it’s a shame.”

In fact, I do have a good relationship with those older sisters.

Besides, even though it was not intentional, there were times when I showed the scene to those kids.

Perhaps what happened then would have been an unforgettable memory not only for me and Mina, but also for Jina and Suna.

Han Min-ah, since he was also in that disaster last time, he will definitely ask to meet outside this time.

If we’re going to meet outside, should we ask for a date together?

Although they are not dating and the relationship itself is closer to a form of friendship than love, going out together in the first place is an act that even friends can do as much as they like.

After this schedule, while I was thinking about finding a list of movies to watch with her, Areumie’s words continued with questions.

“Sister, come to think of it, seeing that you’re a multiple awakener, you can use at least one other thing besides swordsmanship and spearmanship, kid?”

“… Huh?”

“I’ve talked to the guests and hunters a few times, but usually people with two awakening abilities are called double awakeners, but I don’t know if they are multiple awakeners. People who can handle more than three things, or multiple awakeners, Kaze.”

“…”

“Ike, you got it right again. Unni, what other skills do you have? Just let me know a little bit.”

Seeing that he pinpointed loopholes that could have been overlooked in the words that popped out of habit, it was certainly a meticulous observation skill worthy of a craftsman who had handled weapons for a long time.

You could just gloss over it and move on, but for some reason, I don’t think you’ll believe it right away.

At this point, because she didn’t want to lose her trust in Areum, she additionally confessed one of her melee skills to her.

“Shield.”

“Shield art? What do you mean holding a shield and just blocking it and swinging it?”

“Perhaps that is right. I’ve never even used it properly.”

“Eh, is that so?”

“It seems that time is running out to learn only swordsmanship and spearmanship. I haven’t used it properly since I woke up.”

To be precise, it took me three months to learn swordsmanship, spearmanship, fire magic, cold magic, and blessings for recovery.

In this situation, if he received tutoring to properly handle shield and archery, he would probably need three or four more bodies.

If that happens, I’m not just talking empty words, I might really be as busy as Si-hee, a chaebol lady.

“Well, it could be. I’m sure my sister will waste her time learning something else with the weapon she’s used to.”

“… Well, that’s how it is.”

“But since you never know when you might use it, wouldn’t it be nice to have a shield ready? Huh?”

“… That’s not a bad story.”

“It’s just fine! Then sister, wait a minute!”

“Wait, beautiful. I’m still thinking a little more…”

Before she even listened to my words, Su Ah-reum walked back to the back studio and disappeared.

Among the people I know, there was really no my-pace like that.

Well, if I had the opportunity to buy a shield handcrafted by a dwarf artisan, I would of course take it as a good thing, but the question is, with my circumstances, can I afford to pay for the shield made by Areum?

I saved a lot of money as I worked hard for half a year, but the expenses consumed were not so small.

The most basic food and living expenses, as well as income tax and property tax.

I didn’t have a job until half a year ago, but it really makes sense to pay 100,000 won for health insurance just because I have a house in Seoul.

On top of that, some time ago, there was an additional cost to purchase and repair a dwarven spear from this workshop.

Whether or not she knew that I was thinking about this, Areum came out from the back of the studio with a bright expression on her face, holding a slightly larger rectangular shield.

Unsurprisingly, her gigantic breasts stood proudly on top of the wide shield raised horizontally.

“Sister, take this!”

“Ah, yes…”

When she told her to accept it, she resisted her desire to almost reach out her hand to her chest out of habit, and instead accepted the iron shield in her beautiful hand.

It’s not big enough to be held with two hands, so it’s probably the equivalent of a rectangular one-handed shield called a scutum.

Compared to the tower shield Hye-eun usually uses for her group campaigns, it was roughly less than half the size.

Maybe that part is the size I selected considering my attacking style.

So that you can fight with a shield in one hand and a sword or spear in the other.

As for why she has so much knowledge about shields even though she only thought about and learned swordsmanship since she was a child, this part was also greatly influenced by her childhood friend Hye-eun.

Like Hye-eun, who fights by making her shield with her awakening ability, she used to fight by freely handling all kinds of her shields.

Although she now mainly carries a tower shield for teamwork, she used to fight in an almost martial style, holding a heater shield or scutum in one hand and wielding a buckler like a knuckle in the other. It was a fighting style.

She had seen Hye-eun, who went to combat training together at school, wear the same equipment and then mercilessly slaughter monsters with a buckler.

As I had a strong impression of that time, of course I couldn’t help but remember even this shield Hye-eun used in her battle.

“It’s Skutum. Can I use it for a minute?”

“Oh~. You said you don’t use a shield, so you know how to see? Of course you can use it.”

I practiced several times, mimicking some of Hye-eun’s way of fighting, such as swinging her shield that she took from Aum-yi or pushing her with her weight.

Fighting with a shield wasn’t really my thing, but aside from that, the scutum itself was definitely a high-end item.

The weight was just right for swinging, so the body didn’t come along, the size was just right enough not to interfere with the movement of the body, and the material seemed to be made of a good material that was hard but absorbs shock well.

As expected, it was a moment when I naturally felt that the quality was different because it was a product that had passed through the hands of a Dwarf artisan.

“I’m not very educated about shields, but I think I know for sure that this is a good item.”

“Is that so? As expected, my sister has eyes to see.”

“… So, how much is it?”

If it is of this quality, I think it will be enough for about 5 million won no matter how bad it is.

In addition, if the price of the material or the premium of being directly touched by a Dwarf artisan was added, he would have to be prepared to even increase the number by one more digit.

It seemed like it would be burdensome to pay that much money in one lump sum, so while she was quietly preparing her words of refusal, the unexpected words came back from Areumie’s mouth.

“No, it’s okay. Just take that and go.”

“… What?”

… No he’s real

No matter how much you don’t know the world, there is a degree.
