Now that I’ve completed a Gunlance Rod which can shoot magic from the spearhead, I asked someone to tell Berkut to come see me and I went back to restoring the Sky Island ruins.
I sensed someone coming at breakneck speeds.
「Takumi-sama! Is it complete!?」
I was silently transmuting and reconstructing stones to be used to repair the ruins when Berkut who was flying at reckless speeds came over as she shouted her lungs out.
「Takumi-sama! Where is it!? My spear!?」
「Calm down, Berkut. Look, it’s here. I’ll give you the rundown.」
I took out the Gunlance Rod from the Item Box and gave it to the overly excited Berkut.
「The spearhead tip uses a crystalized dragon fang, and it can also fire magic attacks. And for the shaft, it uses quality materials with high magic conductivity and it’s etched for better grip, so you can steady your spear, circulate magic into it, and fire.」
I explained the spear’s performance and functions.
The crystalized dragon fang had been bestowed with Self Repair on top of strengthening types of enchantments, so there’s no need to worry about it chipping. Well, I think this spear will be hard to chip anyway. And because Berkut had affinity with the Wind attribute, it could fire quick Lightning spells which was the upgraded affinity of the Wind attribute that she herself could not use. In fact, it would have no problems even if it wasn’t a Wind spell. As long as it could be charged with magic power, it could be used, after all. The fact that I got depressed when I learned that later on was a secret though.
「Amazing! This is too awesome, Takumi-sama! Even I can use magic!?」
「Woah woah, calm down, Berkut. Watch how much MP you have left when you use it.」
Berkut, who got the Gunlance Rod from me, was no longer listening. She probably wanted to go to Sophia and ask her to spar, as she smiled from ear to ear.
「Hmm, am I the only one that thinks it’s unhealthy for a girl her age to be so happy with a weapon?」
「I think she’s really happy because she got a reward from you, Takumi-sama.」
「No, that I understand with Sophia and Maria, but……Berkut! You can’t use magic here!」
「I know!」
I only got a reply that seemed like she didn’t really understand.
After that, Sophia went sparring with Berkut whose tension was skyrocketing.
The day after I gave the Gunlance Rod to Berkut, I was working on restoring the Sky Island ruins like always when those guys came to visit me.
「But it’s so polished it’s unimaginable that it’s centuries old, right?」
「Yes, it’s different from the present day streetscape. Instead, it feels more futuristic.」
More than half of the ruins of the city of the ancient civilization was restored with my efforts. Its townscape looked more modern in comparison to the townscapes of large cities of nations of present times.
「「Aaaaaaniiiiikiiiiiii!」」
Having finished the day’s work, Sophia and I were having a break when I heard familiar voices.
I knew even without turning around.
「Isn’t it great they’ve gotten closer?」
「……indeed. Recently they’ve been moving around together.」
The ones who came flying from the caves on the mountain face were the tribes’ chieftains Valzak-san and Valkan-san’s sons, the two cousins of the same age. Vart-kun and Valto-kun waved their hands as they flew over.
「No fair, Aniki! Giving such a cool spear only to Berkut!」
「Yeah! I also want a cool spear!」
What are these two saying? I seriously question their heads. Are their wings not the only parts they had that were of a bird, but also their brain?[1]
「Haa…… listen here, I gave the spear to Berkut as a reward because she won against everyone in the tournament. Vart-kun, Valto-kun, weren’t both of you 1 hit KO?」
「That’s because Berkut is a girl! I can’t fight girls seriously!」
「Yeah! I can’t beat up the girl I like!」
What a pair. Moreover, these two were the last to fight Berkut in hopes that she would get tired.
Even if I exclude Berkut, it was tiring being pestered by these two, who were rivaling for last place among the youth of the Aligerous Tribe, for a request.
「Let’s see. If you can win the next competition, I’ll make you the weapon you want.」
「Really!? Thank you very much, Aniki!」
「Thank you very much Aniki! If it’s like that, I can’t pass this up. I’m going to practice with a spear!」
「Ah! No getting ahead!」
After Vart-kun flew away to do some spear training, Valto-kun hurriedly chased after him.
「Do those kids really think they can become the champion?」
「Sophia, don’t say that. They look like they’re gonna give their all.」
It’s likely that even in the next tournament, it would be difficult for those two to become the champion.
