It's just a hard gauntlet.

The finished armor had too simple a performance.

It's not a weapon that can cause widespread destruction, nor is it a weapon that delivers a lethal blow to an opponent, it's just an armor for protection.

I feel sorry for the previous heroes that the weapon used by the hero ended up in this form, but I liked this gauntlet.

On the morning of the day after I received the gauntlet from Falga-sama, I was using the gauntlet to conduct a mock battle with Mr. Aluk. A mock battle with Mr. Alc, who handles flames.

Moreover, this time the battle is not with a wooden sword, but with an iron sword with a crushed blade.

He was able to demonstrate a technical way of fighting with a sword covered in flames, and like Leona, he must be a strong opponent that could be said to be a natural enemy for me.

 

"Huh......!"

 

He doesn't clench his fists, but makes it into the shape of a hand sword and flicks Aluk's flaming sword with his right hand sticking out in front of him.

Deflect the swing from above with your palm and catch the sideways swing with your arm.

I can feel the sensation in the gauntlet when I play it, but I can't feel the pain or the heat. This won't be the case when he fights Aluk, who was manipulated by Nea, where he can't use it due to heat.

 

"This is the performance of this guy!"

 

The left arm is held ready to launch a fist at any time, and the right arm is used exclusively for defense.

In this mock battle, it was becoming a new way of fighting for me.

 

"After all, it's hard ......!"

"I'm surprised, too!"

 

Mr. Alc also seems to be surprised by the firmness of the gauntlet.

Of course, I'm hot everywhere except for my arms, but I'm not directly exposed to the flames, so I can tolerate it at all.

 

"That's right! Lord Usato!"

"It's Mr. Alc!!"

 

However, unlike when he fought before, he is able to fight in a state where he can show his true colors without being manipulated by anyone.

When I try to get into my pocket after deflecting the attack with a gauntlet, he pulls me back and slashes at me with my sword as if to re-divide it.

I am surprised that Mr. Alc is skillful in not going further than necessary.

 

"Can this be avoided?"

"Huh!"

 

As I flicked my sword with my fist, Mr. Alc generated multiple magic bullets in his palm and threw them at me all at once.

The wide-range magic bullet used by Mina in Luxvis!? It wasn't surprising that Mr. ALC could use it, but will you use it at this close range?

 

"But! I've got this guy!"

 

The characteristic of this gauntlet is not only that it is hard.

Thanks to this gauntlet that assists me in manipulating my magic, I have added a new skill to my healing magic.

He traps the magic in his right palm and directs it at the approaching magic bullet.

 

"Pop!"

"What!?"

 

The compressed magic power from his palm explodes, detonating all the magic bullets that Arc has released.

This is a new technique, the healing magic bursting palm.

As part of the system enhancement, I tried to find a way to use the magic outburst for something, and as a result, I ended up with a technique that combines dodge and defense at close range.

Due to various problems, I couldn't use it until now, but thanks to this gauntlet, I can finally use it in actual battle.

 

"Let's go, Mr. Alc!"

"What are you doing, Nanato!?"

"Ugh!? Leona!?"

 

As I was clearing the dust with my right hand to continue the mock battle, Leona came from the side and grabbed me by the shoulders as hard as she could.

Alc was stunned as he held his sword, but Leona lifted my right arm to check for injuries.

 

"What a dangerous use of magic powers you have!? That's not what system enhancement is supposed to do!?"

"Oh, yes, it's okay. Because of the gauntlet, my right arm is intact."

"You're already ......."

 

Ah, Leona, who can handle lineage enhancement, must have noticed the principle of the healing magic rupture palm that I .......

Leona, who seemed to be angry at my words, had a puzzled expression on her face, and Mr. Alc approached her with a sword in her hand.

 

"Well, Leona-san, what did Lord Usato-sama do earlier? It seemed to me that he had released a tremendous amount of magic from his palm ......."

"Usato literally burst his magic, intentioning an outburst of magical power, which is a drawback of his lineage enhancement...... It's insane from the point of view of someone who can handle system reinforcement......."

 

Yes, the reason why I couldn't use the Healing Magic Bursting Palm was because it was a technique that intentionally caused the magic to explode.

In the past, when I did it without a gauntlet, it was difficult because my palms were full of blood, and it took a long time to put magic into it, and I thought that I couldn't use it in actual battle, but this gauntlet solved the problem.

However, Leona, who felt a sense of crisis about my actions, tightened her grip on my shoulders and brought her face closer.

 

"Why would you try to do such a dangerous thing with impunity! No matter how much you have a gauntlet, there is always a situation that can happen! Falga's weapons aren't perfect either. It might even be possible for the magic power that has nowhere to go to flow back!?"

 

I nodded even though I was overwhelmed by Leona's desperate words.

Perhaps that calmed him down, but he looked a little tired.

 

"Usato, tell us the next time you do something like this...... It's not just bad for you, it's bad for my heart. Grid reinforcement is a really dangerous technology."

"I'm sorry, I'll be careful."

 

I ...... that Mr. Welsey was nailed a lot before.

...... I was, but for the time being, I knew that this was a technique that I could use well.

The effect itself is simply to explode the compressed magic power on the palm, and the power itself is only enough to blow a person lightly, and the range is only about a meter or two.

However, it has the same use as a healing magic bullet, such as throwing it on the ground to make your body float, using it while you are immobilized, or hitting your opponent.

And yes...... The original use of healing magic is that it can heal the entire body of an injured person in an instant.

 

"But when I tried it before, it was hard because my hands were full of scars, but now I have a gauntlet, so I can use it in actual battle.

"I can't help but wonder how you came up with the idea of using an outburst of magical power......

 

Leona shrugged her shoulders and removed her hand from mine.

 

"Usato, Lord Arc, I'm sorry to interrupt the mock battle."

"It doesn't matter, because I was about to get into a fever in the fight with Lord Usato. I'm glad they stopped."

 

Alc smiles refreshingly at Leona, who seems to be sorry.

Don't put on a cool face and say scary things.

But in the case of Mr. Alc, if he gets serious, he seems to get really hot. That flame that he showed when he was being manipulated by Nea. It's not a lineage enhancement, it's his original magic that he usually suppresses.

If Mr. Aluk, who is keeping his sanity, uses that flame, I will have to be serious, but his power is unsurpassed when it comes to fighting Mr. Charon, who manipulates ice.

 

"Lord Usato, how did you feel about using the gauntlet?"

"It was surprisingly comfortable."

 

He nodded in satisfaction at Aluk's words.

It was my first time fighting with a gauntlet, so I was worried at first whether I would be able to handle it well, but this gauntlet was incorporated into my fighting style as if it had existed from the beginning.

As expected, it's like a gauntlet for me.

 

"I thought I needed to get used to it, but maybe I don't need that either."

 

My new way of fighting.

It's a melee game that combines dodging and defense.

He uses healing magic bullets and bursting palm magic to catch his opponent off guard and land the biggest blow.

...... Isn't it the same as before? I can't really deny it, though......

Thinking of this, I was smiling wryly, and Leona, who had been listening to the conversation between me and Mr. Alc, put her hand on her chin.

 

"I mean, are you ready to fight Charon?"

"Yes."

 

At Leona's words, Arc and I nodded.

Avoidance techniques that eliminate wasted movement.

Defense using gauntlets.

Resistance spells to grant resistance to cold air.

With these three, we finally had the conditions to go head-to-head with Charon.

 

"The Norns, who are maintaining the boundary, are close to their limits...... Usato, Lord Arc, let's come up with a plan to fight Charon tonight."

「...... Are you okay, Norn?"

"I'm pretending to be okay, but I'm close to my limit."

 

Yesterday, I was able to heal the fatigue of my body with healing magic, but I couldn't heal my exhausted mind at all.

Considering that even before we came, he worked tirelessly to maintain the boundary, and he continues to do so to this day...... It is not surprising that the Norn could fall at any time.

Now that my armor was complete and ready, I knew what to do next.

 

"Okay, let's come up with a plan tonight."

 

The battle with Mr. Charon is near.

When I was conscious of this, I naturally felt a force in the hand where the gauntlet was fitted.

 

●

 

After completing all the training, I left the training ground, staring at my own gauntlet.

As I entered the castle from the training grounds, a black owl, Nea, jumped on me.

 

"Hmm? Nea? Have you seen it before?"

「...... Yes. It was boring, but I watched it."

 

I smiled bitterly at Nea, who said so in a somewhat disgruntled manner, and reminded me to "go back" to the gauntlet on my right arm, and changed it to an iron bracelet.

Yesterday I was wondering how to put it back, but I thought it would be soberly convenient to be able to return it at any time of my will.

If you want to do it, you can equip it on your left arm, and it's pretty nice that you don't have to carry it around as a gauntlet.

Also, it's cool.

When I return to the Ringle Kingdom, I want to show my seniors the gauntlet wearing scene and make a dodgy face.

 

"How's my new gauntlet, Nea?"

"Isn't it perfect for you?"

 

Imagining the reaction of my seniors, I asked Nea about the gauntlet, and she replied with a nonchalant remark.

 

"I didn't know because I wasn't there, but!!"

 

A sigh leaks out of the stunned Nea who strengthened the ending of the word and glared at her.

Nea is angry that I wasn't woken up last night when my gauntlet was finished.

She was angry with me that she had been left alone, and that she wanted to see the moment when my gauntlet was made.

 

"You apologized for not waking me up."

"I didn't feel like it at all, or rather, what do you mean I'm the only one out of the group?"

"Because it didn't happen."

"Wake me up with more enthusiasm! I would have liked to see the sword of the brave turned into a gauntlet!"

 

What does it mean to wake up with enthusiasm?

I wonder if I should just slap it in with a deco pin. ...... I'm going to complain about that.

 

"I think it's because you went to bed so early, and I always think that you're living a healthy life humanly speaking, but an unhealthy life as a night monster."

"Oh, that's it...... I don't have anyone to talk to at night......

"What?"

"It's nothing!"

 

He's a busy kid who mumbles and gets red and angry.

But I'm sorry that I didn't wake up before I was looking forward to it, so I'll apologize again.

 

"Well, it was really bad."

「...... You just have to figure it out."

"But I didn't think that the reason you go to bed early is because you're lonely alone."

「～～!!」

 

If you murmur in your ear, you can hear it even if you don't like it. But surprisingly, there is a childish side to Nair as well.

I walk through the castle with a smile on my face as she hits me on the head with her wings.

He is used to walking around the castle, and he walks the passage to his room without hesitation. However, he suddenly hears ringing in his ears and stops in his tracks.

 

"--"

 

―――I have a story for you.

 

The voice that came with the ringing in his ears was that of Mistress Farga.

Seeing that I stopped with my head down, Nea called out to me.

 

"Usato, what did you just do? For a moment, your magic was disturbed."

「...... Yes. Falga's voice came directly into my head...... I think I have something to say."

 

Is it about today's war meeting?

Then you should talk to the Norns, not me.......

Are you going to tell me something that you don't want anyone to hear?

 

"Nea, I'm going to Mistress Falga......

"I'm going too, you left me yesterday, so I'll follow you today."

 

I have it in my roots.

Even if I try to return it to the room as it is, will it follow me forcibly? Well, even if Nea is with you, Falga-sama will forgive you.

With a wry smile on my stubborn girlfriend, I turned back the way I had come and headed for the hall where there was a road leading to Falga-sama.
