Chapter 17
“Galbas…! That knife’s made from magic steel, ain’t it!?”
Viro raised his voice when he saw the knife that Galbas brought.
Magic steel…? The moment I thought that, fragmentary information flowed into my mind from that woman’s “knowledge”.
Magic steel was the refined form of magic iron, which was iron that transformed after spending a long time in an area with a high concentration of magic particles. It was extremely hard and extremely expensive. …There’s too little information. In a way, it wasn’t surprising, since the only thing that woman was interested in was the price of the weapons.
“That’s right. It’s a piece of crap I made when I was younger.”
Galbas described the pitch-black knife he had apparently made as “a piece of crap” while scowling.
“At that time, I felt that I was capable of producing quality works, but I got carried away and convinced myself that I could make something better if I used better materials, and this was the result.”
Galbas looked at the knife as if he had tasted something bitter and swung it lightly.
“This thing is only sharp and lacks might. I focused so much on appearance that I didn’t think about what it was going to be cutting. But it’s as light as it is thin, and because it’s made from magic steel it’s sturdy and will repel blood clot to some degree. This weapon is just right for a brat like ye.”
The length of the blade was around 30 centimetres with a width between 3 and 4 centimetres. The knife had a single-edged straight blade that became thinner and thinner as it reached the end. Although it was made of a strong material called magic steel, it didn’t seem to be suitable for cutting through hard things or tough muscles to cause damage.
Even so, I thought that it was really just the right weapon for the current me, as I had little muscle strength and was the type to only attack my opponent’s weak points.
“…The hell do you mean with a magic steel weapon being just right for a brat, huh? Besides, it’s unusual for you to give a personally made weapon to a brat.”
