My armor is complete.
After hearing the news from Falga-sama, Amako and I first went to call Alc and Nea, who were resting in their rooms. Alc was awake, but Nea didn't come out when she knocked on the door of the room.
I wondered, and when I turned the doorknob, it wasn't locked, so I went in and found her on the bed, throwing her limbs out and falling asleep.
I was stunned by her inwardly unwary of what I had seen in Samariar, so I decided that it would be difficult to wake her up in this state, so I put a futon on her and left the room.
In the end, the three of us, Amako, and Aluk, came back to the hall where the throne was.
There was only one Norn waiting on the throne. What about Leona? When I asked, she said that she had gone to Falga-sama first.
As soon as we arrived at the hall, we headed to the basement.
Standing on the floor in the center of the hall, you descend to the basement like an elevator as you did at the beginning. After a few minutes, he arrived at the basement and saw the large body of Mistress Farga and the figure of Leona standing in front of him.
Was he talking about something?
Glancing at us as we descended into the basement, Mistress Farga let out a deep sigh that was not typical of him, and spoke to Leona, who was slightly downcast.
"Leona, don't forget what I just said. If you want to, do it. But understand that it's a means to spit it out."
「...... Yes."
Perhaps the conversation ended there, she bowed silently and looked back at me, looking a little overwhelmed.
Perhaps thinking the same thing as me, Mr. Norn called out to Leona with a worried expression.
"Leona, what were you talking about with Mistress Farga?"
"I'm talking about the next battle with Charon, and I was scolded for saying something inappropriate earlier. It won't affect what we're going to talk about, so don't worry."
「...... That's right."
About the battle with Mr. Charon?
I'm sure I'm not lying, but I'm kind of caught.
Norn doesn't seem to be able to explain it ...... any way.
"I've been waiting for you, Usato."
"Sorry to keep you waiting, and I heard that my armor was finished......
"It's not exactly finished, it's just one step away, and it's up to you to complete it."
What, me?
Is it going to be technical?
As I pointed at myself and looked surprised, Falga-sama continued to speak.
"Don't worry, it's not that hard for you to do. What kind of power is sought and how to handle it, and the armor takes shape with that thought at its core."
From Falga's mouth, a silver sphere pops out and hovers around him.
Probably that was the hero's sword I gave him.
The sphere stopped in front of Mistress Farga and came in front of me in a fluffy manner. When I caught it with my right palm, I felt a strange sensation at the shapeless sphere.
"I wonder what kind of shape my armor will take...... What do you think Amako is like?"
"Clubs, Hammers, Morningstars, Iron Balls"
"Can you tell me why it's a blunt weapon? Hey?"
I understood what kind of image Amako had of me.
Sure, I think I'm going to be comfortable with blunt weapons, but I'm not as savage as I would have imagined it.
"Hahaha, Lord Usato looks like a shield would be a good fit."
"I ...... think of a weapon that takes advantage of his speed, but Usato's ...... there are a lot of possible weapons candidates, so I can't predict what will come."
On the other hand, Leona and Alc are serious about anticipating my armor.
In fact, I don't really know what kind of armor I want. I have an image, but I can't tell if it's the right armor for me.
"Farga-sama, after this, ......."
"Just think about the way you are, the way you've been. Then my fragments will naturally turn into the form that suits you best."
"My path ......"
Feeling the presence of a sphere on my palm, I close my eyes.
My journey so far began on the day I was involved in Inugami-senpai and Kazuki's revival of the hero.
On the day I came to this world, I joined the rescue team.
Trained by Rose, he ran through the battlefield for those who fought for the Ringle Kingdom. At my core, as a life-saving team member, I want to help people who are hurt, I want to make sure that no one is grieving the death of someone, and I want to be recognized by Rose...... And he wanted to help Inugami-senpai and Kazuki.
In Luqvis, I met Nak.
He was suffering from Mina's bullying, and I pointed him the way to the rescue team. It was the same way I had Rose tell me what to do in this world.
An evil dragon that he fought on his journey to Samariar.
The resurrection of the evil dragon, which was also the cause of this incident, almost became a major event that put many lives in danger. In the end, Amako, Aluk, and Bullin joined forces to defeat the evil dragon and solve it without taking anyone's life.
And the curse of the Samariar.
He struggled to destroy the curse that was engulfing the body of Eva, the princess of Samaria. It was all caused by a sorceress who was fascinated by the existence of a hero, but in the end, it was solved by freeing the souls of the people of Samarian and the royal family, who were trapped by the curse, and regaining Eva's stolen body.
It seems like a long time, but it's been a short road.
I was seriously injured and my spirit was about to be destroyed, and my life in another world was so eventful that I couldn't think of it normally, but strangely enough, I didn't think it was painful.
After all, I've met a lot of people in this world.
The countless people I've been able to connect with just to think about it are proof that my journey so far has not been in vain.
That's why I want to cherish that relationship.
I don't want the power to hurt or defeat someone.
I want the power to protect myself. As long as I can reach it, I can repel any threat.
「...... The shape of the sphere in Usato's hand changes ......."
Amako's voice made me open my closed eyes.
When I looked at it, I could see that the orb on my palm was flowing and shining from my elbow to the tip. Normally, I would be surprised by this scene, but I was strangely calm.
Over the course of about ten seconds, the light that covered the tip of the elbow without any gaps emitted a rainbow of light and scattered into the air as if it were flying. What was left in my arm was a silver gauntlet.
There were no flashy decorations other than the Falga-like scale-like pattern, and there were almost no gaps, but I didn't feel that it was difficult to move at all.
"This is my ......."
It's more like armor than armor, but in a way it was predictable.
I try turning my wrist around, but it's easier to move than it looks.
「...... After all, you were different from that young man."
"Farga-sama?"
"Show me your arms."
"Yes."
To Mr. Farga, who has been looking at him with deep emotion, he shows the gauntlet of his right arm.
What appeared to be a magical pattern appeared in his eyes, illuminating the gauntlet.
After staring at the gauntlet for a few seconds, Mistress Farga's expression distorted slightly. Was there something wrong with it? When I was worried, Falga-sama, who had erased the magic in her eyes, opened her mouth wide and began to laugh.
"Haha, haha, hahaha!!"
「!?」
"Lies!? Mistress Falga laughed!?"
Falga-sama is laughing so loudly that it echoes underground, and not only us, but also Leona and Norn, who know him, are astonished.
After a pause, Farga finally suppressed his laughter, looked down at us and spoke in amusement.
"I'm sorry, it was so unexpected that I couldn't stand it. It's been a long time since I've opened my mouth and laughed. I just thought I was going to have nothing to laugh about, but no, I don't know what's going to happen."
"Oh, ...... there's something wrong with that?"
What should I do, I made Shen Long burst out laughing.
The Evil Dragon was laughing vulgarly, but he didn't expect that he would not only surprise Master Farga, but also make him burst out laughing.
Maybe this is a pretty bad thing?
To my anxiety, Falga-sama pointed to my gauntlet in a somewhat cheerful manner.
"The gauntlet you have created is impervious to nothing, and even high heat, cold, and magic cannot pass through it. To put it simply, it's just a gauntlet that's ridiculously hard. That's it."
"You said it so easily!?"
"Normally, it's a piece of armor that would be branded as a failure, and that's understandable. It's just a hard gauntlet, and its use is too limited. But it's a different story if you're the one who handles it. Leona, you know what you know when you fought Usato, right?"
At the sound of Falga's voice, Leona nodded mysteriously.
"This is indeed a gauntlet for you, and if you can detect threats with your excellent kinetic vision and reflexes, and if you can repel powerful forces with your own strength, you will be able to handle this more than enough."
...... I feel like I'm finally starting to understand how to fight.
This gauntlet is not used for attacking, but as a shield to deflect the opponent's attacks.
Impervious to everything, even the blade of Charon's cold axe can be grasped.
Best of all, it's nice to be able to incorporate it into these few days of training without any problems.
"Does that mean that this ability is an invincible gauntlet that is impervious to everything?"
"Of course, that's not all, try to put magic into the gauntlet."
「? Yes. ......!?」
He did as Farga-sama said, and put the magic of healing magic into the gauntlet, and immediately understood the difference.
The operation of magic power is smoother than before!
If you make a healing magic bullet, you can make it in less than a second, and you can put a considerable amount of healing magic in your palm.
That? Isn't this something that can be done in various ways if you devise a magic operation?
It's a healing magic bursting palm for emergency evasion, or a healing magic rampage for group battles.
"I told you, didn't I? It's a gauntlet for you."
"But it's sober, isn't it...... Is this?"
"You're not dissatisfied, are you?"
Sure, though.
Is it just a hard gauntlet that assists in the manipulation of magical powers?
Somehow, it seems that I can only handle healing magic.
"Up until now, all those who have given me fragments of my body have created a powerful piece of armor, a pair of swords that contain and release everything. Charon, who has gone out of control, picks up an axe that freezes everything. And yet, you have created a gauntlet that is just a stiff gauntlet that has no offensive power at all. You can't help but laugh at that."
"Uh, uh......"
"I'm not disparaging you, but rather I want to praise you for who you are. In the face of Charon, who has become a dragon, you have created a weapon to protect rather than to hurt, and you certainly have the qualifications to have my armor."
I don't have the idea of being praised that much......
It's just that I didn't have an image of myself as having ...... strong power.
"Well, even if I had a big weapon, it would only be a treasure trove, maybe...... I hesitate to use it. If that's the case, I think it's definitely better to hit him like ......."
"Yes, that's certainly more Usato-like."
Oops, dug a grave.
I tried to argue that I didn't deserve that much praise, but Amako took a chance.
What's more, she is beside me, and she tilts her head curiously when she sees me stagnant.
"I'll leave you with my shards, which used to be the property of the brave, but now belong to you."
"Yes."
"Take my fragments with you on your journey ahead, and watch the fate of the man I approve of."
Once I saw my gauntlet, I nodded clearly to Falga-sama.
Mistress Farga closed her eyes with satisfaction, and spoke to us in a quiet voice.
"Then we're done talking, let's get some rest for today."
Mr. Farga ended his talk with those words.
We follow his word and move from underground to return to the surface...... But I froze for a moment when I saw the gauntlet in my right arm.
For a few seconds, Amako tilted her head at me, who was silent at the sight of the gauntlet.
"Usato, what's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, I'll go back for a minute."
"What!?"
He trots back to Falga-sama, who is trying to get back into the fountain.
Amako and the others, who were worried about my situation from behind, also chased me, but I didn't care about it, and I showed my right arm gauntlet to Farga-sama, who turned around.
"Uh...... Excuse me. How do I remove this? I don't feel like it's going to come off normally......
"I don't know what to say, but you don't ...... tight."
"Usato, that's not ......."
Looking at the gauntlet, which was almost integrated with the arm, I was worried about what I would do if it stayed like this for a long time, and Falga-sama and Amako behind me looked at me in dismay.
_____________________________________________________________________
An invincible gauntlet that is impervious to all threats (a gauntlet that is only very hard)
Usato's armor became a gauntlet.
In the feedback section, he gave me predictions that exceeded my imagination, and I was intimidated in a sense by the high level of creativity of everyone, but I managed to bring out his armor.
Please look forward to the success of Usato, who has a new weapon.
As a practice, I wrote a piece of about 20,000 words.
"Second Chance ~Aiming for Salvation in a World That Has Suffered Seven Degrees of Destruction~"
I wrote this work to practice serious and combat depictions, but I wrote 20,000 words and shelved it, so I put it out as a work.
