About an hour has passed since Aurus had agreed to Kurohana's request of upgrading him. At the moment, a few instruments that starkly contrasted to the bright white of the place were hovering a few meters away from the two. Naturally, as Kurohana was a divine blacksmith, all of these instruments were related to forging. Looking at the sight, Kurohana deftly waved one of her hands to move the instruments around, quickly arranging them in a way that would normally be seen at a smithy in the mortal world.
Snapping her fingers, a fire was quickly started inside the furnace as she sat down in front of the anvil, placing Aurus on it as she gestured with her hands once more, allowing a large amount of materials to appear near the two, being placed into a neat pile just beside Kurohana.
Welcome to Volume 5. Compared to Volume 4, the word count per chapter is slightly shorter by around 400 words or so. With that, I'll try my best to upload 2 chapters a day (though at times I might only be able to upload 1).
In any case, I hope you enjoy the chapter and the story that this volume will show you!
