Episode 176 [Messenger 4]
The day after I came to Dragonia, I told Chloe and the others that I had somewhere to go, and I left the inn in the morning and headed to a certain place.
That place is Ludra's house, where they met yesterday and hit it off.
"Good morning. Ludra-san."
"Good morning, Jin."
Until yesterday, he had been formally calling me Agent-sama, but after we talked about various things about swords, Ludra changed his name to Jin-kun at my request.
I wish other people could change things this easily, but other people call me ``proxy-sama.''
"Can I see Jin-kun's sword again? Yesterday was a celebration, so I wasn't able to check it properly."
"Yes, it's ok"
That's what I said, taking out the sword that Leeza had made for me from the [Different Space Box] and showing it to Ludra.
Ludra picked up the sword, pulled it out of the sheath, and stared at the blade.
"...This is the first time I've seen such a famous sword. Who made it for you?"
“I don’t know if it’s well known here, but the current head of the Gafka workshop made it for me.”
“Gafka’s workshop!? Is that person making weapons for you, Jin?”
Ludra said this in an excited manner, and stared at the sword again while saying, ``This is a real Gafka workshop sword...''
After that, I calmed Lyudra down and told him how I was able to get Leeza to make a weapon for me.
“…I see, I heard that the number of people coming in and out of Gafka’s workshop has increased recently, but I was talking about Jin-kun and the others.That place really only chooses partners based on the whims of the workshop director, so if you are chosen, it’s really true. They say I'm lucky."
"That seems to be the case. Actually, I don't think I could have gotten involved if I didn't have the gold nugget. After returning to the capital, if Leeza is in a good mood, why don't I ask for Ludra-san's sword as well?"
Ludra was extremely conflicted by my words.
However, perhaps thinking that he would never get a chance like this again, he finally said, ``If permission is granted, I would like to ask for it.''
Then, Ludra told me that he would show me the sword technique he had promised me yesterday, so we moved to the training area behind Ludra's house.
“First of all, Jin, do you understand what is the most important thing when using a sword?”
"...I think it's the skill of wielding a sword. Of course, I think strength is important, but I've come to realize from using a sword that you don't have to use force to wield it like a sword."
"Yeah, that's correct. As expected, you're Jin-kun."
Ludra said this with a smile, then pulled out his sword from its sheath and showed me his technique.
That technique was really beautiful, and I felt it was an overwhelming difference from the sword technique I've been using for the past three years.
As expected, he is an experienced person who has been using a sword for several decades.
"Jin-kun said he didn't have much time, so I'm going to teach you a relatively easy technique among the techniques I want to teach you."
"Yes, thank you."
"First of all, the technique I'm going to teach you is one of the common techniques used when you're in a normal position, and it uses magical power. Well, I think it'll be easier to understand once I show it to you, so watch it."
When Ludra told me that, I moved to a position a little further away and observed Ludra's movements.
Ludra held a sword in his hand, flowing magic into the blade and swinging it at incredible speed.
For a moment, the power and force of the technique was so great that Lydra's sword looked like the claw of a giant dragon.
``The current technique is the simplest of all the techniques I have, and it is also useful in battle.The name of the technique is Ryujin, so I thought it would be good to name it after a dragon,'' It's called 'Dragon Claw'.''
"That's a good name. Besides, it was so powerful that it looked like a dragon's claw, so I think it's a perfect name."
"Hehe, I'm glad you said that. Grams-sama said to me that the name might be a bit off-putting, but I thought that when it comes to swords, the name of the type is also important, so I thought about it for several days before deciding. That's my name.''
Ludra, who was praised for his name, spoke happily.
Of course, I didn't say it as a good name to make Lydra feel good, but I just said it from the bottom of my heart because I felt that way.
After that, I was given a detailed explanation of the specific method of the current technique, and I promised to come and show it to you once I had practiced it and was able to use it.
