章節 78: 78. A New Sword
"Ah Kazuma, your speaking attack power is too strong, if you don't hold back, most girls will cry okay!" Izumi approached Kazuma after he heard how loud it was when Aqua was crying.
"Your mouth needs a brake, Kazuma!" Kuroneko added.
"I'm telling the truth. This goddess should be aware that she is completely useless. If I could, I would trade this useless goddess for a demon-slaying sword or something."
Aqua's cry grew louder so that it attracted the attention of the others. At that very moment, Megumin and Darkness arrived.
"Kazuma, you always make Aqua cry."
"Can you be a little gentle with a girl?"
Kazuma couldn't tell the truth. He just grunted.
"You girls are the same as Aqua. Completely useless. But you girls don't even notice."
Upon hearing Kazuma's words, Megumin felt disapproved that Kazuma himself was the weakest. They started bickering.
"Sigh. Kuroneko, Luffy, let's go!"
"Hey you, wait!"
Suddenly Aqua called out to Izumi. He turned to Aqua while asking.
"Is there something?"
"How did he get that kind of skill? I don't remember any skill that can stretch a body like rubber." Aqua pointed at Luffy. Previously she wanted to ask, but she always did not get the opportunity.
"Why do you care? You're no longer the overseer up there. Most importantly, we don't have a hobby of dying in order to be reincarnated into a fantasy world."
Izumi turned to Kuroneko and Luffy.
"Let's go! Just ignore her!"
Aqua stomped the floor in annoyance when Izumi ignored her as if he was looking down on her. And what Izumi said was a bit vague.
From Aqua's words, Izumi realized that she already knew that Izumi and the others were Japanese. It's just that she was wrong to think of Luffy as Japanese as well.
Aqua already learned Izumi, Kuroneko, and Luffy's identities from Lia after her memory was restored. As soon as Lia's memory returned, she recognized Aqua, who was the goddess who reincarnated her into this world. Lia, who was muttering about Kuroneko and Izumi recognizing her and saying that she was Japanese, was heard by Aqua. Because of that, Aqua became convinced that Izumi and his group were Japanese. And she confidently said that they were reincarnated by the goddess named Eris.

"I want to take a quest! Let's take a quest!"
Even though Aqua said that she was ignored by the others. Be it Kazuma, Darkness, or Megumin, all of them except Aqua didn't have a problem with the money. There were only a few difficult quests available because Beldia, the demon general, lived near Axel town.
Kazuma and Megumin had no reason to take on such a dangerous quest.
Finally, after Aqua begged. Kazuma, Darkness, and Megumin agree. Aqua rushed to the quest board.
"Kazuma, shouldn't you take a look too? She will probably pick an incredible quest if you leave Aqua alone." Megumin reminded Kazuma.
Kazuma also had an ominous feeling. He headed to the quest board and stood behind Aqua who was contemplating which quest to choose. Aqua didn't notice him and was still sorting out a suitable quest with a serious expression.
Then, she tore the paper from the board.
"Good." Aqua nodded.
"GOOD YOUR HEAD!! WHAT THE QUEST ARE YOU TAKING?" Kazuma snatched the paper from Aqua's hand. Luckily Kazuma saw it. Otherwise, he would be taken to hunt the salamander to exterminate it. With Kazuma's power now, that was something impossible to do.
Both of them argued for a few minutes. Then, Aqua pointed at a certain paper on the quest board.
"Purifying a lake. The reward is… 300.000 Eris? Can you purify the lake?"
"Idiot, who do you think I am? From my name and appearance, you should be able to tell what portfolio I had as a goddess, right?"
"Aren't you the goddess of banquets?"
"As if you, HikiNEET! I'm the goddess of water, alright! Didn't you see my beautiful blue hair and blue eyes?"
"Nope, where are they?"
"Damn, aren't you just HikiNEET!!?? Don't be too cocky!!"
"Then, do a quest by yourself, bye-bye!"
"Wait, wait, wait. Kazuma-sama!! I'm sorry, but please help me!!"
"What is it, you said you could purify the lake, wouldn't you alone suffice? You could even hog all the reward!"
"But, if I'm purifying the lake, then how if I get attacked by monsters?"
"Aren't you a goddess? Why should you be afraid of monsters anyway?"
"I can't concentrate on purifying the lake if monsters attack me."
"Hmmm." Kazuma thought while holding his chin. Moments later, he said. "I have an idea!"
After that, Kazuma, Megumin, and Darkness set off to accompany Aqua on the quest.

On the other hand, Izumi took Kuroneko, Luffy, and the griffon to go somewhere.
*Clank* *clank*
There were sounds of metal clashing when Izumi arrived in front of a certain building. Above the door of the building, the silhouettes of various weapons were drawn.
The building was none other than the place where he could buy and order weapons, a weapon shop.
When Izumi entered, the old man sitting at the counter greeted him. He is the owner of the weapon shop. As an owner who just sat at the counter didn't mean he wasn't a blacksmith. In fact, he was the most experienced among the blacksmiths in Axel town and its surroundings.
"Oh, you are the boy who ordered the sword 4 days ago."
"Is my sword ready, old man?"
"Yeah. The materials you brought even made me step in. Hahaha."
Even though it was noisy inside the shop due to the employees who were still working, it didn't interfere with Izumi and the old man's conversation at all.
The old man went inside, then came back with a sword wrapped in its scabbard. He could see that the guard was forming waves. It was done so beautifully. And the blade was dark-blue with rippling water on its edge pattern.
He knew how well the sword was made after taking the sword out of its scabbard.
"What a beauty." Izumi muttered.
"By the way, boy. What material was that? None of my employees could bend it."
"A sea stone."
"A stone from the sea?"
"To be more precise, it's a stone produced by the condensation of seawater. It's quite a rare item. I'll have to go through the trouble myself to get that."
The old man pondered for a moment from Izumi's words.
"Condensed seawater? It's even rarer than adamantite. However, the hardness of the seastone is still below that of adamantite. Does it have any special effects?" The old man asked.
"Maybe yes, and maybe not. What do you think?"
"Well, you don't have to tell me. I can already guess, though I don't know what effect the seastone has on it."
At that moment, the conversation between the two of them was interrupted due to a troublemaker who was none other than Luffy.
"Hei, Izumi, Izumi. Look! This is so cool!"
When Izumi turned, he slapped his forehead. Unbeknownst to the others, Luffy wore full body armor like a soldier. In addition, he was holding a mass-produced spear from that shop. Izumi was too focused because his forged sword was so well made that he didn't notice Luffy doing something weird.
"Izumi, can you buy this?"
When Luffy asked, Kuroneko was already behind him swinging her sword.
*Clank*
Kuroneko didn't use the blade of her sword to hit Luffy's head in a helmet, so a loud sound was created.
"You idiot! If you wear this, you're wasting your strongest point."
Luffy took off his helmet, then rubbed his head. Since Kuroneko was against his request, he turned to Izumi. Izumi asked him.
"Meat or that full body armor?"
"Meat!!!" Luffy answered instantly without any need for consideration.
"Then, take the armor off!"
After Luffy removed the armor, Izumi paid the forging fee and took them away. Coming out of the weapon shop, Kuroneko asked.
"Why do you want to make that sword? Can't you use Haki?"
"Just in case. I might be able to master Kenbunshoku Haki right away. But not for the other 2 types of Haki."
"Hmmm. Does that mean you want to visit Luffy's world again?"
"Eh, you want to be my crew again?" This time, it was Luffy who responded.
"I'm still part of your crew if you haven't kicked me out, Luffy."
"Hihihi. I knew it."
After taking the sword from the weapon shop, Izumi intended to test the sword first and he went out of town. Kuroneko and Luffy also had some free time so they tagged along.
