While relaxing after finis.h.i.+ng our meals, I talked to Alistair and the others.

『Did anything happen while I was out screaming?』

“Even if you ask me what happened…. What Master is thinking about is the outcome of the war, right?”

『Well, that’s the most important thing. After all, if the Beast Kingdom lost, Fran would be sad.』

“I’m sorry. I don’t know. There’s no way to get any information from the outside world from here.”

Well, I kind of guessed it already. After all, this place was so out of the country and rarely anyone came here. It’s not a place where someone can just casually come here to deliver information to you. Besides, Alistair was standing by all this time in case something happened to me.

Asurasu – he didn’t seem to be the type of person who cared about disputes between countries. I mean, he is still here.

『Does Asurasu have business with Alistair?』

“What do you mean?”

『No, well, You’ve been here for five days, haven’t you?』

When I said that, he laughed at me. Although he said he was planning to leave after thanking me for last time, I’ve heard bad things about him too. Even so, he was actually a pretty sincere guy.

“Like I said before, I’m in your debt. I can’t just leave without saying anything.”

『Speaking of which, what happened with the mad demonization?』

“It’s already back. However, we’re not in a combat situation, so I can feel relieved for a while.”

I knew it would be back in a few days. I took it away with the skill-taker but then it disappeared after the refurbishment, so I figured it would be resurrected in Asurasu. Yeah, It didn’t work so well. It seems like it was born on its own from within Asurasu.

“Oh, and about Fran’s equipment.”

『That’s something I’ve been wondering about as well.』

Actually, Fran wasn’t wearing her usual black cat equipment. She was now wearing a downy cloth outfit and pants that looked like pajamas.

It’s not the right size at all and she was wearing it with the hem and sleeves folded wide open. If it had not been folded, we would not be talking about moe after all.

Maybe she borrowed it from Alistair? The quality was quite high. It wasn’t as good as the black cat equipment, but it was far more powerful than those leather armor. It would easily protect against a bandit’s knife or something similar.

『What happened to the black cat armor set? 』

“It’s a pretty good armor, but it was getting worn out from all the repeated fierce battles.The automatic repair function and other functions have been considerably deteriorated. Hadn’t you noticed?”

『For real?』

This battle was hard fought. Fran’s armor was also damaged and then automatically repaired, and it seems like while it was being fixed, it was damaged again. Because of this, I didn’t even notice that the automatic repair function of the armor had deteriorated at all.

The functions of magic tools deteriorate and I know this because I’ve been in the body of a sword myself. Just as my processing power was being squeezed out over a long period of time, the more you use a magical tool, the lower its specs become.

“Restoration… isn’t the answer. So I’m modifying that one too. And honestly, it looks like you guys were getting so strong that it couldn’t handle the intensity of the fights.”

It’s true that the opponents we’re fighting grew stronger and the scale of the battles were bigger than when we got the Black Cat set. From Alistair’s point of view as a divine grade blacksmith, she might feel that the Black Cat set isn’t enough for us to deal with such powerful enemies.

“I’ve discussed this with Fran, and she’s agreed to let me get my hands on it. Although it will be modified without the permission of the creator…….You can’t put your lives on the line. You’re going to see him later, right? Tell him I’m sorry.”

Hmm. I’m sorry Gallus, but even for me, I’m grateful to have Alistair, a divine grade blacksmith, strengthen the armor.

I don’t mean to be unfair here, but I think we should take Alistair’s suggestion. Fran must have decided as much.

『I understand. I’ll apologize to Gallus.』

“I’ll leave it to you. Anyway, that armor is already prepped and ready to be modified. If we start the modifying process today, it will be done the day after tomorrow.”

『I’m happy to have them start working on it right away, but is it okay? You haven’t slept in five days, have you?』

“It’s fine. I can stay awake for about 10 days straight. This time, I only need to stay up continuously for 7 days.”

She looks fine. Well, then, I’ll leave it to her.

『Please take care of it.』

“Yeah. I’ll make it my best armor, so look forward to it.”

Alistair is a really nice person. I’m not like Fran, but I think I too like her a lot.

But, I’m still holding back from divulging major secrets from Alistair. It was the fact that I come from another world. Wouldn’t it be an injustice to keep an important secret after having her a.n.a.lyze me thoroughly? When I thought of that, I couldn’t help but feel guilty.

However, I can’t share my secret without telling Fran. When Fran wakes up, we’ll talk to her about it.

That’s what I thought as I watched Alistair’s back as she went back to work.
