It Was Highly Effective
‘Woah!’
‘Wow! There’s so much water!’
As the slimes and I looked on in shock...the water started to flow outside and towards the streets.
It wasn’t a small spot of land, but there was just too much water.
“Slime Water Absorption!”
I quickly shouted. It was magic that made the slimes absorb the water around them.
And then... The water that was about to flow out into the streets just disappeared within a few seconds.
...Was Slime Water Absorption always this powerful?
“...What... What was that water magic!? I have never seen magic like that before!”
“...Yeah. What is that?”
“You’re the one that used it!?”
I had never seen anything like it myself.
And the power of Slime Water Absorption was also strange.
“No... The water magic that I normally use is only about a third as powerful as this.”
“Even a third of this would be ridiculous! ...With magic like this, you should be able to kill as many lesser fire dragons as you want!”
“Yeah. And I did kill as many as I wanted.”
“...That’s right.”
Upon hearing this...Gaiger seemed to remember that he had been the one to buy hundreds of lesser fire dragon gemstones.
He looked surprised for a moment...and then grabbed my hands and said in a serious tone:
“Yuji... Why don’t you stay in this town and hunt lesser fire dragons?”
Stay in this town and hunt...
I liked the idea of staying in one place. But I would prefer a town with better food.
...Also, that wasn’t what we had been talking about.
“In any case, we should talk about the armor. ...I guess it has the ability to enhance the power of your magic?”
That was the only explanation.
I had wanted this armor made in order to increase their speed...but the result was something much more frightening.
“So, you didn’t plan to have such features.”
“Aye. ...In the first place, you’re the only one who has monsters that use magic.”
“I guess that’s true...”
Tamers that weren’t sages could not use magic through their monsters.
And so there was no way you would make armor for Tamers that increased the force of their magic.
Even my slimes weren’t using the magic by themselves.
“Do you think the monster armor was holding up just now?”
“We-well, I didn’t think you would test it with magic that is that powerful... But it’s still perfectly fine. It seems like I made some ‘monstrously’ strong armor.”
Apparently, it could stand magic of that strength.
Hellfire of Death aside, it seemed like it was more than strong enough for normal magic.
“...Thank you. This armor is amazing.”
“Aye! It’s my best work!”
I accepted the armor and handed him the money.
He charged 1 million for crafting... But as before, I was so happy with the results that I wished I could pay more.
“Are you sure this is enough?”
“Aye. ...I already know that I’m going to make a killing because of you. So I don’t feel like charging you extra at this point.”
“...Make a killing?”
What could he be talking about?
I don’t remember doing anything to help him with his business...
“Don’t you remember? You sold me a lot of high-quality gemstones from lesser fire dragons.”
“I did sell them to you... But didn’t you pay more than the market price?”
It was about double what the guild would have given me.
If anything, I thought that it was me who had made a huge profit...
“Well, yes. They weren’t cheap! ...But once they have been processed properly...they will be even more expensive. Yes, I will make a killing. I’m looking forward to getting to work.”
“...I see.”
Gaiger was a craftsman, and that’s how he made a living.
And to do that, he needed a lot of materials.
I was glad that I sold the gemstones to him.
It was a better use of resources than if I had just kept them.
“Thank you. I’ll gladly accept it.”
“Aye! ...And if you find anything else, bring it here to me!”
And with that, I left Gaiger’s shop.
