Maria! I've finally finished the refrigerators!

Wow.

Master, it's so chilly inside!

It keeps food cold so it doesn't spoil as easily.

Ohh!

Try not to leave them open, if you can.

I synthesized iron, chromium, and nickel into their alloy,

stainless steel, and worked it into a box shape.

Then I added a magical device enchanted with cooling magic.

Mr. Takumi, thank you so much!

Now I can cook with fresh ingredients at any time!

Which color would you prefer?

What do you think, Sofia?

I think any of these colors would look lovely.

I prefer this color.

Alright.

Then I'll take the others over to Papek's office,

because it's time to start my next project.

Are you making something new again?

I was thinking of upgrading our equipment.

Our equipment?

I had a thought after we fought that Goblin General the other day.

Considering we'll eventually be traveling one day,

I think it's better to have the best equipment we can.

I see.

My blacksmith level and blacksmithing skill level have both gone up.

Our current armor's made from magical steel,

but I'd like to create a new set using mythril and adamantite.

What do you think?

If it's necessary to protect you.

I'll leave it up to you, Mr. Takumi.

Should I upgrade, too?

You just evolved the other day.

Episode 5 Shadow of Sidonia

Mythril and adamantite are both rare ores.

I'm not even sure if there are any blacksmiths who can handle them in Bolton.

I'm sure there are some in the dwarves' Kingdom of Nomstahl.

I see.

Well, I'll give you a list of blacksmiths living in the outskirts before you leave.

Oh, that being said,

you're an alchemist, right, Takumi?

It might require a lot of mana,

but you might be able to synthesize them.

I could?!

Though it might be faster to obtain the ores on your own.

Mine them, huh?

There a city called Horas to the northwest of the Kingdom of Barcula.

They have a mine where you can extract mythril and adamantite.

Although,

you can't enter the mine if you're not a member of the Blacksmith's Guild.

There is a loophole, however.

A loophole?

You can accept a quest to defeat the monsters that occasionally appear in the mine shafts.

Then you'd be allowed to mine ore while you're inside.

Oh, that'd let me kill two birds with one stone, extracting ore and fulfilling my quest quota.

I've got good news for ya, Takumi.

Guild Master.

Didja know that Bolton has been runnin' low on Treant wood lately?

Treant wood?

Most of the adventurers are out huntin' Black Buffalo 'round this time of the year.

It means fewer people are gathering Treant wood and the supply's dwindlin'.

That's actually a big problem.

Those Treants, the wood monsters, live in the Forest of Death,

which is along the road to Horas.

In other words, you want me to go hunt down some Treants?

You can use space-time magic,

so transportin' them'll be a breeze, right?

Takumi, it's three birds with one stone!

V-Very well.

I do make use of Treant wood myself, too.

Good man!

And while you're being good,

there's also a blacksmith who's requested a bodyguard for his trip to Horas.

I'd like you to take that on, too.

Just how exploitative is this guild?!

Oh, you finally realized that?

If you'll do that for us, I'll promote you to rank D,

and your two lady friends to rank E.

B-But I've never done an escort mission before.

What about the three Lion Fangs that I met before?

Those guys!

They're out on an expedition for a different quest.

How long does it take to reach Horas?

Then you'll do it for us? Good man!

Seven days with an ordinary horse-drawn carriage,

or about four days for one drawn by a monster horse.

I see. Monster horses are a type of monster,

so they can gallop at twice the speed of an ordinary horse.

In that case, I'll take a monster horse.

Sorry. We only have ordinary horses at the moment.

Huh?

Sorry, we're using them.

Riell!

Hey! I hear you're making a name for yourself.

Huh? Riell?

Did you already complete the quest?

That's a bit fast.

Not yet.

We took down a Black Buffalo on the way,

so I carried it back before it could rot.

Yeesh, the advanced species keep popping up one after another.

Upcoming escort missions are going to be hard.

Though that means the rewards will be better, too.

Yeah.

Well, I'll head back out in the morning to rejoin Heath and the others.

Riell, would you like to stay at my place tonight?

Please use our bath and get some rest.

A bath?!

I'd be glad to have one of those!

I need to stop by somewhere else, so I'll tell you where I live,

and you can meet me there.

It's fine! I'll go with you.

Papek Trading Company

Then I'll lend you a carriage from our company...

with monster horses.

That's a big help!

In return, if I might ask,

could you wholesale some of the ores you mine to us?

That's an easy request.

You're shrewd.

Also...

When you return, please produce additional refrigerators!

Please!

Please do!

Please try not to open and close it excessively.

Mr. Takumi is late coming home.

I wonder if something happened to him while he was out.

I should have gone with him.

I'm sorry for making you come along with me when you're tired.

It's nothing.

Though we didn't find any blacksmiths who could produce mythril.

Yeah.

We met with all the blacksmiths Hans mentioned, aside from the one who was out.

Looks like I'll have to do it myself—

R-Riell?

What incredible hostility!

I don't have the equipment I need to fight this person!

We're running!

Huh? Huh?!

R-Riell!

How dare you...

How dare you!

How dare, how dare, how dare, how dare you target Takumi!

Hey, Sofia?

You're safe now.

I'll deal with this ruffian here and now!

By cutting him down!

Hold it, hold it!

That's not the case!

I'm so sorry!

Even though I didn't know, I attacked one of Mr. Takumi's friends...

It's my fault for not letting you know I'd be out late.

I'm sorry!

No, no, it's fine.

Well, there's plenty I want to ask Takumi about.

What is this?

Yeah, I needed someone to help protect me and handle the house.

Is that you, Riell?!

Maple?! Is that you?!

Wow!

You've gotten all cute!

Do you remember me?

I hate you, Riell.

Must be nice, man.

Surrounded by all these cute, pretty girls.

Both Heath and Bogar are married too.

I'm the only one without even a girlfriend!

They aren't my girlfriends, you know.

They aren't?

In that case...

What do you think of me?

My heart and body already belong to Mr. Takumi.

And you, Maria?

I've also decided to live my life by Mr. Takumi's side.

Dammit!

Riell, help yourself to the bath!

I'm in agreement with hunting down Treants.

Those are precious materials.

I don't have objections to taking the extermination quest in Horas either.

If that's what you've decided, then...

I'll do my best, too!

Then we head out in three days.

Sounds like I'll need to make more equipment for us, too.

Be careful!

Give my regards to Heath and Bogar!

Yeah! Thanks for the great bath!

Tungsten carbide... That's hard.

Mana Draining Greatsword

Magic Steel + Tungsten Carbide + Cobalt + Titanium Carbide

It's good for a weapon, but it's too big as it is right now, so...

It's really resisting me.

Mana Draining Sword

A magic sword that absorbs the mana of an opponent cut with its blade. The more mana it drains, the sharper the blade becomes, improving its offensive power.

That took away a lot of my mana,

but it's done.

I'll give one to Sofia.

Three Days Later, Bolton, North Gate

Papek, thank you for the carriage!

Your client is already waiting inside.

I'm Takumi Iruma.

I hope we have a nice trip to Horas.

I'm the Blacksmith, Dgambo.

Nice to meet you.

Maria, you're great at handling horses!

I even took care

of the monster horse nicknamed "the Angry God" back at the Mulan Company!

Guild Master.

We've received word from the Horas branch.

They say the monsters in the Forest of Death have grown more active.

They waited until now to share that damn information?

Takumi has already set out.

It's dangerous enough when the Treants go berserk.

I just hope they don't run into any advanced species.

Is that so?

His Royal Majesty enjoyed the toilet you offered as tribute.

Yes, he said he would love to see them implemented in the royal capital, too.

I'm glad to hear it.

Bolton's sewage problem is steadily being resolved,

and word of that has reached the royal capital.

Though I think it's spread a bit too far.

The Holy Empire of Sidonia?

It seems word has reached Sidonia sooner than expected,

so they're likely to start speaking up.

Holy Empire of Sidonia Several Months After Takumi's Departure

That's it, Akira.

Don't go forgetting about me!

You're still not stepping in enough, Yamato!

I know!

Well done!

Champion

National High School Judo Tournament

Monsters probably won't attack this far from the forest.

I'm sorry.

I did set up a simple barrier for protection.

Yeah, I heard from the guild.

Go hunt your Treants.

Hey, Sofia...

Is there a way to tell Treants apart from ordinary trees?

Treants do disguise themselves as ordinary trees,

but if you pay close attention with sense magic while looking around,

you should be able to distinguish them.

Over there.

Look at the tree slightly to the right.

That's one?

Yes. It's a Treant.

Alright.

That was surprisingly quick.

No, we're just getting started.

Huh?

We're surrounded.

It seems they're rather enraged.

There's an incredible number of them!

A huge haul of Treants!

It'd take too long to deal with them one at a time.

Let's use magic.

Alright.

Should I make us an apple pie?

Yay!

Horas

We safely finished hunting the Treants,

and we arrived at the mining town of Horas the next day.

We used our ride to head to the Horas branch of the Adventurer's Guild.

Exterminate Iron Moles?

Yeah.

Monsters that feed on ores are the worst enemies of a mine.

If you accept the quest to exterminate them...

then you can enter the mine.

That's mythril ore.

Oh? That's adamantite.

Huh?! This is?!

We've gotten lucky!

Master!

Something's coming.

From the ground?

It's the Iron Moles!

Maria!

Yes!

Light!

Sofia, can you finish it off?

Yes.

Takumi, what are you doing?

How did you defeat the moles?

Well, they're monsters that live in constant darkness,

so I figured they wouldn't like the light.

Huh? That's it?

Yeah.

Mr. Takumi, are you sure it's okay to defeat those monsters so easily?

Well, did you all want an intense battle that badly?

I-I haven't done anything!

I'm just standing here!

I'm like a mole constantly holed up in the ground!

No, even lower than that!

Most moles live in the ground.

We were able to mine a huge load of ore without interruption,

and then we safely returned to Bolton.

The next day, I went to Dgambo's workshop,

and had him teach me the basics of synthesizing and forging mythril and adamantite alloys.

I combined mythril ore, magical iron, salamander gallstones, and crushed magical stones.

That imbued the mythril knife I forged with a fire element.

I spent many hours and many days on the synthesis.

It wasn't as simple as working with magical steel.

I decided to to produce armor using mythril and adamantite alloys as well.

Light Armor of the Tempest (Wind & Water Element)

Light armor created by an extraordinary alchemist and magic blacksmith using mythril alloy imbued with both wind and water Elements.

I kept pouring in as much mana as the magic stones could take.

They turned blue, so I analyzed them, and found they had become magical crystals.

I also imbued them with elements matching the magic you each use.

What about your "Thunderclap" one, Mr. Takumi?

Yeah. I tried enchanting it with an extra-large version of Enhanced Agility.

I can run fast, like lightning—

Ow...

That was lame.

Mr. Takumi, I never saw anything.

I've lost all memory of the last 30 seconds.

I'll need to practive with this.

Watch your surroundings, okay?

Mr. Takumi.

What is it?

If anything were to happen to you,

I would sacrifice my own life to protect you.

Huh?

So to that end,

I'd like a strong, sturdy shield, if I may request one.

A shield, huh?

Sure, got it.

Thank you so much.

Although, while I appreciate the sentiment,

I want you to cherish your own life first, Sofia.

Takumi.

One Year Later, Holy Empire of Sidonia

Oh, they look gallant.

The Heroes are about to set out for the Kingdom of Samandor.

I'm counting on you, Sir Akira, Sir Yamato.

We shall do our utmost

for the sake of this world's peace.

May Anat's Blessing be with you both.

All finished...

I know I was the one who requested it,

but the load on Mr. Takumi is becoming too much.

If only he had an assistant who could help him in his workshop.

Kingdom of Barcula, Royal Capital, Bakilatos

What did the missive from Sidonia say?

It seems they've heard about the purification magic.

They've written, "We look forward to hearing the details from you,"

"and seeing you take appropriate measures."

Then will another messenger be arriving in a few days?

Their words are polite, but this...

is practically a threat.
