A katana huh. As a former Japanese, I’m a little excited about this request. However, even though it is a katana, I feel that it is impossible for me to make a proper Japanese sword.

It’s possible to make it using my cheats, but if even I can use cheats in this world, the material will not be the same as Tamahagane. It doesn’t make sense to cover custom model-quality steel with high-end model-quality steel.

However, this also has little meaning to it, since there’s also Rike’s training, I’m planning to cover the custom-made model steel with custom-made model steel. TLYN: This is a bit confusing ahaha. ただし、リケの修行もあるので、これも意味はほぼないが特注モデルの鋼を特注モデルの鋼で覆う形式をとる予定にする。

“Okay, then let’s go out to the garden for a moment. Bring your specialized weapon.”

I said to Nilda.

“Why?”

“I’ll look at how you handle your specialized weapon and decide on the length and weight.”

“Got it”

Nilda walked out of the workshop and came right back. She came back with a sword in her hand. The sword is properly held in her hand. I opened the door on the workshop side and went outside. Nilda followed after. Nilda doesn’t have the benefit of slashing me here or in the yard, but I’ve changed the position of holding my knife just in case she makes a strange move.

“Kyaaa!”

The moment she went out into the garden, Nilda made a short scream. She was surprised as Kururu was right next to the door.

“Why did you come out?”

“Kururu”

“Okay, okay. It’s dangerous, so stay further.”

As she nuzzle on my head, I stroked Kururu’s neck. Kururu obediently sit a little further away and began to bite the grass around her. Aye, such a clever child.

“Oh, come to think of it, there was a Soryu in your house.”

“Yes. She’s pulling the cart when you met her.”

“Ah, y-yeah. Surprisingly, you’ve taken care of it well.”

“Isn’t this the case with a normal Soryu? I haven’t seen other Soryu so I don’t know much.”

“There are Soryu in the demon world but they’re more aggressive. It’s not so bad that they don’t listen to you at all but it’s hard to handle them because they often have bad mood.”

“Heh-. It’s different depending on the Soryu huh.”

“I’m not sure. At least they are undoubtedly different from the Soryu in your house.”

“Hmm”

I make a sound like I’m not interested. But I have a hunch. The running dragon also eats something that is normally recognized as food (just like Kururu eating grass), but their real food is magical power. Demons are said to be born with stagnant magic in their bodies, the land in the demon world probably has a lot of stagnant magic. If they continue to consume this magical power as food, their temperament may become more like that of those fierce monsters.

Of course, all of these are just my speculations. But if the difference in temperament between Kururu and the Soryu in the demon world is quite large, I think it is highly possible that the difference is due to the difference in the quality of magical power.

However, if that’s the case, I wonder if the demon world is producing monsters at a mad pace. When Nilda gets used to us (and we get used to her), it might be a good idea to ask her.

“Should I swing it here?”

“Yes. It doesn’t matter if it’s like a dance performance or training. However, it’s more helpful if you move as close to what you do during the actual battle as possible.”

“I understand.”

Nilda nodded, pulled out her sword and began to slash it. It’s still not as good as Helen but it’s a little better than Diana. However, although she wants something like a katana, what she’s swinging now is an ordinary sword. There is no problem in making a katana but… Let’s ask her then.

“Hmm, it seems that the one you wanted earlier and the one you’re wielding now have different shapes.”

“The one with the same shape was destroyed by that “thunderbolt”. This one can be used as a makeshift.”

While wielding her sword, Nilda answers grumpily.

I see…

“Sorry for asking such question.”

“N-No. It’s because of my inexperience to begin with.”

Then, for about a quarter of an hour, I observed Nilda wielding a sword.

“So, is it about this long?”

I demonstrated the length to Nilda with both hands. It’s a little long to call it Wakizashi. It’s better to say it’s like a Kodachi.

“Isn’t it a little short?”

“Well, you’re the same as Helen. You move fast, right? I think it’s better for it to be short so it’s easy to move.”

“Hmmm”

“I will make something lighter in weight. I will adjust this area after it is made.”

“Okay, I’ll leave it to you.”

Now I can see the final shape. All I have to do is make it. I told Kururu that I’ll see her later and then I returned to the workshop with Nilda behind me.
