Chapter 90.

From the magic bag, I took out the metals I acquired from Xenovia and Milt a few days ago .

「Orichalcum… or maybe mithril?」

「woof」

「Should I go with an alloy instead?」

「wau」

RunRun was thinking about it seriously .

For a dog, he seems well-versed about bows; a dog of extensive knowledge .

Maybe he was reading the books together with me when we were little .

Perhaps he was also reading books while taking care of Saria .

Otherwise, there is also the possibility that he had observed the weapons of the retainers of the Wolms main family .

「Let’s combine orichalcum and mithril after all」

「wau」

「It’s difficult to put magic into it, but it will turn into a good bow if it goes well」

「woof」

RunRun approved .

I started working on the bow at once .

While heating up orichalcum and mithril with magic, I pour magic into it .

An alloy ingot was then created .

The crucial part is the mixture ratio of orichalcum and mithril .

The mixture ratio determines the flexibility and strength .

The heat added to it, and the amount and speed of magic to flow in are also important .

If the amount of magic is too much or too little, it will not be alloyed well .

And if the magic flowing is too late or too early, it will not work .

…………

……

「…fuu, it somehow turned out well」

I think that my weapon production technique has improved, even if I do say so myself .

「woof!」

RunRun also praised me . His tail swishing through the air .

「Thank you, RunRun」

I pet RunRun’s head .

「Well, next is…」

…To mold the ingot into the shape of a bow using magic .

Previously, I was exhausted just by making an alloy, but now I can keep going on with the creation of the weapon .

The mold for the bow is not simple either .

I have to use magic to forcibly transform a metal that does not deform easily .

Perfect magic adjustment and a considerable amount of magic are required .

It is a process that demands utmost concentration .

I continued to mold the bow until I was dripping in sweat .

RunRun also sat and observed the process earnestly .

………

………

「Yoshi!」

「woof!」

RunRun also congratulated the completion .

He put his forefoot on my shoulders and licked my face .

I furiously petted RunRun in return .

「Fuu, I finally completed it」

「woof!」

「Mu? Ah…」

I was so delighted with the completion that I inadvertently forgot that bows need bowstrings .

I was able to remember because RunRun pointed it out .

「Bowstring… ordinary bow strings which can be strengthened with magic are fine, but…」

「woof」

The bow was made from an alloy of orichalcum and mithril .

I went through all that, so I want to make a proper string .

「What is a suitable material for the string?」

「wauー?」

RunRun was also thinking about it .

But he doesn’t seem to have an idea either .

「Un, A fibrous and sturdy material… how about the thread of Giant Spider?」

「woof!」

「I think that is a good idea」 is what RunRun said .

「Ok, let’s ask Xenovia later if she has some?」

While we were discussing that,

「Anicha, what are you doing?」

Saria, Fluffy and Shiro came .

「Oh, Saria… and everyone else seems to have woken up too」

「Yup」

Saria was tightly carrying Fluffy in her arms .

And, Shiro was head-butting my leg .

「Wowー so cool」

Saria looked at the bow in the middle of production interestedly .

「I was creating this bow」

「Oh, I seeー sugoi… can I touch it?」

「You can」

「Wowー it’s so smooth」

「Because it’s metal」

「So shinyー」

The surface of the bow was reflecting light like a mirror .

That is too conspicuous . It is unsuitable for adventures .

Since Rosetta is a scout, there are many occasions where she would need to perform covert operations .

「Ah, I forgot to surface it so that it doesn’t reflect…」

「…Woof」

RunRun said「I didn’t notice…」in a little reflective tone .

Since Saria was awake, his bark was louder .

「I have to treat it with matte finish afterwards」

「Ehー even though it’s so prettyー」

「It can’t be helped」

「I seeー」

Saria hugged my right thigh while saying that .

By the way, Shiro was still head-butting me on the left thigh .

「…KyuruKyuru, Kyuーn Kyuーn」

At that time, Rubeum started crying out from the direction of the bed .

「Rubeum seems to have woken up too」

We moved to the bedroom where Rubeum and Fay were sleeping .

Rubeum was crying out while hugging Fay on the bed .

And, Fay was still asleep .

「Rubeum, what is it…」

「Kyuru…」

When he saw me, Rubeum flew over to my chest and clung tightly .

Perhaps he was lonely when he woke up and found nobody around .

It can’t be helped as he is just a baby .

I tenderly petted Rubeum .

「Ruu-chan sure is lonelyー」

Saria also started petting Rubeum together with me .
