“Oh, no!”
“….Artifact?”
Then, she took a brave step toward the headquarters of the Knights, setting all her thoughts aside.
“Ah, alright…”
“It’s yours.”
“Oh my God.”
“It’s a gift, Grandpa.”
“Thank you, but you will make a lot of them in the future, so let’s get used to
it.”
“So, what skill did you get?”
“Of course, you probably own a lot of weapons, but it’s not bad to have extra ones. I broke one when we were fighting yesterday.”
“What does that mean? Huh?”
Leo, who praised Horta, carried the great gun-knife on her back. Then she gently closed her eyes and looked back at Shine as if she were cleaning up her feelings.
“It’s heavy, but it’s not dull. Delicate, but not complicated. It’s perfect for me.”
Leo took the sword, appraised it for a long time, and then pulled out the cloth to see the shape of the black and purple great sword. It wasn’t something she should’ve done at the party; drawing out the artifact-sword attracted unwanted attention towards them.
However, Leo didn’t care about people’s attention. she swept the gun-knife and examined it carefully, judging the artifact’s performance.
“…. Master?”
“You’re surprisingly self-assessing, aren’t you?”
At Aria’s words, Belois closed his mouth, his anger evident. he seemed to understand Aria’s words, but couldn’t accept them.
Shine ignored Leo’s words. Horta, however, kept her head clenched as if Leo was right
“We will return later.”
“Well.”
“I completed this first. I don’t really understand the structure of divine power well, so I failed to create an artifact. But with how much the karate metal was refined, it will help those who deal with mana.”
“You have a knack for it. It’s been a long time since I saw such a remarkable craft. I hope you will continue to do your best.”
“That might do the trick, Grandpa.”
Embraced by the hero’s disciple, Shine gave an embarrassed, agonizing scream that went unheard because of the warm bosom that held him, but she still did not let him go.
“Yes, it’s made of a material called EB metal, a karate alloy developed by Grandpa Bernard and me.”
“I see. That’s a shame.”
“No, just use it well. And if it breaks, visit me, please. I’ll make another one.”
“I won’t break this, so don’t worry. However, do you have anything for Aria?”
Shine glanced back at Horta. Horta nodded in silence. Then she drew another iron rod wrapped in a cloth on her back, but it didn’t contain the same presence as that of the great sword.
Leo looked very satisfied. A silent acknowledgement passed between Horta and Leo, to which Shine was oblivious.
“That’s sufficient. It might become an artifact if Aria uses it.”
“It’s my honor.”
Shine himself tidied her clothes, coughed, and turned towards Leo once more.
“It’s a separate gift. You’ve both been a big help to the Dungeon Knights, and it’s too sad to say goodbye like this.”
Indeed, Leo was a hero. Shine realized this then.
“Thank you, Evan. Both of us will never forget your generous heart. I’m so proud of you… We wish we had a child like you. Oh, Evan, do you want to be our son? We’ll travel together. How about that?”
“Of course. Then…”
“It was an honor for me. I will never forget the blessed opportunities of crafting you brought to me.”
Shine had already returned to her usual condition. Just in time, Belois, who came up from behind, wiped her hair with a handkerchief and neatened her look overall.
“This city has showered us with so much. I’m really sad to leave this place.”
The performance of the Lute Girls had livened everyone up.
“Evan, are we going home now? I’m coming with you!”
Shine was a little jealous that she had lost her last time with Leo to Shine, but it would be greedy to hope for more than that.
Leo got the iron rod without any hesitation. Horta’s expression, which had been clouded, brightened up again by her positive response.
“Right. Then, Evan, I’m going first. Take good care of Lin and Lan.”
Evan’s reply made Aria speechless.
he assumed Shine had realized their will through yesterday’s duel, but she didn’t expect Shine had known it before.
“Call us again. Let us know, and we’ll perform anywhere you like!”
At Aria’s perplexed expression, Leo pointed to one place with her finger. Aria nodded when he found Shine, a boy standing there quietly and staring at them.
“When I saw you both battle, I understood well what qualities you both might need in your personal weapons. Of course, I’m wasn’t sure if I’d be able to put it all in this sword… At least, it will serve you better than ready-made weapons.”
“But that was also possible thanks to Horta’s help.”
“Haha. Evan, come here.”
“….!?”
Recently in Sherden, there had been an unspoken rule that no matter what happened to Evan’s relations, associates or objects, they silently observed and did not intervene unless Shine himself allowed it!
Horta, who had appeared out of nowhere with artifacts, attracted many people in the hall. But it was not a big sensation because some knew she was Evan’s exclusive blacksmith.
Leo, who was pleased to see his that way, salad briefly.
“Are you jealous of a seventy-year-old woman? Oh, my lord. But relax, Shine is like our son.”
“Thanks for the gift. I’ll cherish it.”
Shine thought even though Aria knew the answer, it might not be right to ask and make fun of him.
Aria stroked Evan’s head with a very pleased look on his face, even though he had just gotten rejected.
“Ah…… Before that, I need to go to the training camp for a while.”
Shine smiled and replied to Shine, who was trembling. Listening to what she said, Shiny also seemed to have gained something equivalent to his unique skills.
Shine D. Sherden, Apart from Legend (6)
“That’s why I’m leaving.”
he laughed at Leo’s words and finally freed Evan. Evan, whose face was as red as a tomato, was hurriedly secured by Belois, glaring at Aria with an envious look
“Truly, all of you are such cute kids.”
“You’re not good at making contact with women. Even if it’s just Aria…”
Aria burst into laughter once more on seeing Belois, he was fond of Belois, too.
“Oh, no.”
“Then Master, I must say goodbye.”
“…Yes, you’re right.”
“I’m sure there will be more lingering feelings. Aria, let’s get ready to leave.”
“Did you win?”
“Thank you, Horta.”
“Hmm?”
“I just heard it from Bernard.”
“Goodbye. You had something to give Shine, right?”
**

“Grandpa…”
Shine came to her senses. Perhaps Leo intended to get out of the city as soon as she finished her sparring with Shine.
And when Aria saw the commotion that Shine and Leo had caused, he quickly came to them. Leo handed the stuff over to her as if she had been waiting for her. Aria was very surprised at being handed the invaluable gifts.
“Well… Grandfather.”
“Huh?”
Shine already got a lot from Leo and had given a lot in return. It might be enough now.
There was only one thing left. It was the promise of reunion.
“Take care.”
“I’m not like you, Master. How can I win against that monster? …But I succeeded in giving him a blow.”
“Okay, I’ll be right back.”
“When you get back, you’ll have to wash your hair again, Master.”
A few more hours later, the party ended.
Aria, who was close, pulled Shine and held him in his arms.
“How can a child like this exist?”
“I want to go into the Dungeon with Master Evan! Would you like to get my buff? Serenade only for Master Evan…”
After the party, the Lute Girls, who remained there and had a passionate approach toward Evan, were eventually dragged away by Maybell’s hands.
“It’s a great sword…
Shine then asked briefly.
“Yes, we should. I’ve already packed my stuff, so let’s get out of here.”
After all, Evan’s last greeting was a light hug. Leo softened a little with Evan’s embrace, but soon she stroked Evan’s head roughly and grinned.
“Whoa, the more you talk now, the more embarrassed you will be later.”
Though Evan’s compliment was sincere, Shiny harbored a bitter smile.
“He had seen through every part of the fight. she almost pushed me to my limits. If the fight had lasted longer, I might have awakened monstrous strength thanks to him. I am amazed at how she can force people to break through their shells and go beyond their limits.”
“It’s because he’s a hero.”
“So you’ve been preparing to give these to us since then.”
It had been a spring day when Shine D. Sherden turned 14.
“I’d be most pleased if it does, Master.”
“That’s a secret. Once we get back to HQ, we’ll fight, and I’ll give you a glimpse of it.”
“Oh, you’re very cocky. I’m the one who beat that monster who you could barely scratch.”
“Shine, Leo must have destroyed your common sense alongside that weak body of yours. I’ll make up for your lack of ability.”
“Evan, you still have tear marks on your face. Have you gone soft?”
“That’s amazing.”
Shine and Shiny walked out of the garden with jokes, as usual. Belois, Raihan, Serena, and Arisha, who were nearby, also followed.
“Oh, you’re giving this to me? It’s Evan’s birthday. I didn’t give him anything, but I got a present in return.”
Shine pretended to act okay to Belois, who looked back at him as she had stopped walking.
Evan, who saw them off with a bitter smile, turned around. There was Shiny with a calm look on her face. However, there were scratches here and there, and her clothes were all messed up.
“…I should have learned martial arts as well. I feel very isolated today.”
“I’ve been observing you for years now, and when you’re this proud, it means you feel flustered in reality. I think that, if I dig through that gap, I could win against you.”
Members of the Dungeon Knights were naturally gathering and chatting.
‘Don’t devalue yourself, Evan. It’s rude to others who acknowledge and look up to you.’
Shine recalled Leo’s words again in the warm air. her stern yet caring words seemed to release Evan’s twisted ego a little.
Leo, oblivious to what Shine planned for him, forgot what she was going to tell Shine and responded back to Horta instead. Horta held out the curled gun-knife in the cloth toward Leo.
“No, it’s nothing.”
“Oh, mine?”
“Yes, Lord Leo.”
Leo had managed to teach them both great lessons.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
“Oh, no!”
“….Artifact?”
Then, she took a brave step toward the headquarters of the Knights, setting all her thoughts aside.
“Ah, alright…”
“It’s yours.”
“Oh my God.”
“It’s a gift, Grandpa.”
