Chapter 16: Unreachable Blade

After creating another sure wavered in the sky

「Are you okay, Seiya? 」

「I consue amount of MP I need to rest a little to recover it 」

「I understand For now, let's return to Seued since he rinkling his eyebrows It ht be the first time that this happened to Seiya It was a bit unreasonable He ended up using that aic for two consecutive tiht have been mentally exhausted as well

Seiya muttered bitterly

「My MP was around 15 000…now is…only 13 500 」

「But, you have a lot of MP left, don't you!? 」

「You're a fool It ets me while my MP is this low 」

「I wonder about that…will it be that hard…? Well, for now let's go to the inn 」

With 13 500 MP re cautiousness still amazes me; even so, we made our way back to Semul's town…

When we arrived in Sehts have arrived as well and they were all asseht fro in our direction

「I'lad to see you unharmed! Then…who came victorious? 」

I told him the truth

「They were annihilated…? All of the ten thousand undead…? Is that really true? Well, it's not that I doubt you or anything like that, but… 」

The other Knights looked at each other and started laughing Even if the hero was indeed strong enough to defeat the large ar done so in just a couple of hours seemed somewhat unbelievable Seiya took out the memorandum and requested the reward; they said in response 「We need to go get it first! 」, several Knights got on their horses and ran out of the town

The veteran Knight told us 「you must be tired 」, and took Seiya and I to nearby inn

…it was our thirdin the rooon o? …what? 」

I opened the door but the person standing there was not Seiya I looked below and there was a curly-haired girl wearing a robe waiting for loomy as she nodded at me

「Goddess, I am sorry for what happened the other day Please listen to what I have to say 」

「 You make it sound like it's very bad What is that you want to say? 」

「 Mash disappeared two days ago I looked for him and I couldn't find hie, no? 」

「 If that's the case, then I'll have to return to see if he really went back… 」

Elle was about to cry but I touched her shoulder to reassure her

「 Elle, I'm sure he is okay The army of the undead was defeated I think the possibility of Mash being in trouble is quite low 」

Elle's disposition became a lot better

「 Yes, I heard it People in the town are talking about what happened That hero sure is a 」

「 Where is he? Is he staying in the next roo a deep breath

「 He has been obsessed with training a new skill called ”Synthesis” ever since then… 」

Yes, that's right After receiving that large reward, Seiya went to the weaponry shop and bought lots of equipment; afterwards he closed himself within his room He wanted to train his newly acquired ability named ”Synthesis” That's why Seiya wanted so much money

「 First, l need to talk with Seiya to tell hio on your own 」

「 Go…out with ether? 」

「 Is that okay? Because we are not comrades anymore… 」

「 That's what Seiya decided without et in trouble 」

「 Goddess, thank you very much! 」

Elle had a wide smile on her face

Elle and I came to Seiya's rooet any reply from him

「 Seiya? Are you there? Can we open the door? 」

The moment I opened the door, Elle and I were astonished Dozens of swords and armors were scattered around the whole room Seiya, who seemed focused with his sword, finally realized our existence

「 Lista, look at this sword 」

Seiya, who rarely showed his emotions, was flustered as he showed ant sword e a silver luminosity; then I spoke

「 Don't tell me that this is a Platinum Sword!? That's incredible!! How did you make a sword like this in the first place!? 」

「 I had to change my experimentation At first, I coth was increased To synthesize a strong sword, I had to prepare another method, so I used a catalyst 」

「 Catalyst? What was that? 」

「 A Goddess' hair I found some of your hair in your room while you weren't there I used it to coed to synthesize a Platinum Sword 」

My own hair…? He even entered my room without ot a bit ht need maintenance, so I need to have more hair in reserve Give h 」

「 I'll get bald!! 」

As I refused his request, I noticed that Elle was shi+ning her eyes towardsat me with utmost respect

「 It's awesome to have power on your hair! As expected of a Goddess! 」

「 Well, I guess so! 」

Meanwhile, Seiya went further inside the rooe sith a twisted and curved blade

「 However, this one was a failure 」

Seiya said that he used one of s on the sword Yet, the sword became twisted and had a weird format

Elle blushed before me

「 It can't be…that is…perhaps… 」

「 Yes Maybe it beca hair? In other words, with curly hair this strange sas created I want ht hair 」

「 screas ”scattered around”, I got the twisted sword and I shouted angrily

「 How dare you!! 」

I was so angry with Seiya that I tried to hit him with that ”hair brush sword”, but at the same time, I heard knock sound It was familiar voice from the other side of the door

「 Excuse me I have a delivery for Mister Hero 」

That person was the Landlady of the inn When I opened the door, the Landlady was holding a large object wrapped in cloth, and gave it to ht despite its size, and I could grab it alone

「 What is this? Who brought it? 」

「 I don't knohat's inside It just says ”an offering to the hero who defeated the undead” The one who gave it toa hood 」

After the Landlady closed the door, Seiya looked at the object with a suspicious look
