“Now that you mention it, you still haven’t crafted equipment for everyone.”

After secretly sending off Mr. Mitsuo, I discussed my idea of improving everyone’s equipment with Mika.

“Well, we were busy with all kinds of stuff, so I simply forgot.”
“You said you would be free until noon, didn’t you? But you’re right, it sounds like a good idea.”

With Mika also in agreement, I thought about starting right away. First, I called my brother and his girlfriend.

⟦Kanata, Sakura, do you have a moment?⟧
⟦Hm? Is something wrong, Big Bro?⟧
⟦I’m not taking you away from anything?⟧
⟦No, you’re not, Ayu-nii.⟧
⟦Right now is perfect, we just finished watching a movie.⟧

Those two apparently spent their free day by enjoying a film. They probably watched it in the mansion’s cinema.

⟦That’s great! Could the two of you come to Mika’s and my room?⟧
⟦Sure? We’re there right away.⟧

When I received that message, Kanata and Sakura were already standing in front of us. They used teleportation.
Well, I wasn’t about to complain.

“What do you need us for?”
“Well, I realized I still haven’t made divine grade weapons for all of you, so I was thinking of rectifying that.”
“So that’s what this is about.”

Kanata seemed to understand. Same for Sakura.

“Could you take out any equipment you’re using regularly? I’ll recraft and modify it.”
“Huh, alright.”
“U-Uhm, Ayu-nii, can I have a word?” Sakura asked timidly.

She seemed to be embarrassed about something.

“That’s fine.”
“E-Erm, it’s about this thing,” she said, as she presented the extremely pretty necklace she was often wearing.

If I remembered correctly, it was called Brisingamen.

“What would you like to do with it?”
“I-It should look as close as possible to how it does right now. Uhm… the thing is…”

She beckoned me closer and whispered into my ear.

“(It was the reason I started dating Kanata, so I want to treasure it. If possible, I’d like to keep it as it is, but…)”

She was a tsundere. And she cared a great deal for Kanata.

“(In that case, I’ll just perform maintenance and strengthen it by adding enchantments. That alone should bring it to divine grade.)”
“(R-Really? Could you do that?)”
“(Sure thing!)”

We were whispering, but I was sure Kanata overheard everything with his sharp ears. In fact, he looked quite happy right now.

“Could you give me your equipment, then?”
“Alright, this one, too.”

She handed me a sword. I was relatively sure that it was a weapon that could attack automatically.

“For me, it’s these… and also…”

Kanata handed me an eyepatch, a black spear, and a golden bracelet. He then got close to me and whispered just as Sakura had done before.

“(First, the spear.)”
“(Sure, what would you like me to do with it?)”
“(I’d like to refrain from using Gungnir, so could you simply strengthen it? It already looks cool enough, don’t you think? At least from my point of view.)”
“(You can put your trust in me.)”

Kanata nodded.

Even getting a girlfriend hadn’t cured his eight grader’s syndrome. Nothing probably would, it was in his nature.

“(Also, if you can set the name, I’d like you to call it something like ‘Gáe Bolgnir’.)”
“(Isn’t that just Gáe Bolg and Gungnir combined?)”

Both were legendary weapons. And both probably existed in this world¹.

“(I knew you’d understand, Big Bro.)”
“(I also went through that phase… So, what about the eyepatch?)”

He had been clutching it as if it was important to him. No matter how you looked at it, he must’ve gotten it from Sakura.

“(Sakura made it for me, so I want to treasure it. Could you to do the same with it as what Sakura requested earlier?)”
“(That’s completely fine!)”
“(Please do that, then.)”

So, he did hear it, after all. I saw joy in his expression, and with how similar our faces were, I could tell just how happy he was.

“Alright, I’ll finish them until evening! Are you fine leaving the decision of what abilities to add to me? I’ll mostly just strengthen what they already have.”
“That’s fine, I’ll leave it to you.”
“We’ll come get them tonight, Ayu-nii.”

The two of them teleported back into their room.

Next would be Shuu and Rir. There was a high chance at least one of them had an item with important memories attached to it. Rir’s red hood, for example.

But would this be a good time to message them? I wouldn’t catch them in the act, right? Well, it was the middle of the day, so they surely weren’t doing that. They obviously weren’t like Mika and me.

Thus, I contacted them.

1. As a matter of fact, Gilmars used a weapon called “Gáe Bolg” back in chapter 163.
