Chapter 143 - Let's Make Brother Stronger
『Strongest Younger Brother Plan』was the name of a mysterious younger brother remodeling plan that was being planned in Kazane's brain . The purpose was remodeling Naoki's battle style based on the Return Stake that would soon be available, but for now Kazane was trying to strengthen his attack power using materials that they currently had . . . . . . . naturally, Naoki didn't know anything about it . It was only inside his sister's brain .
And Kazane's thinking was simple . I don't want my little brother to be injured, what should I do? Ah, he should just be strong, right? Then won't he be fine? …… those kinds of thoughts .
Basically, Kazane considered Naoki the worst kind of man and would have absolutely ignored him, but he was very important as her younger brother, so she practically doted on him . It was a maternal protective instinct, and the fact that she could only see him as a younger brother that needed protecting was an immature part of Kazane, and Naoki's inability to resist against her overprotectiveness was part of his immaturity . That problem might come to a head eventually, but for now Naoki was stunned by his older sister's『Killer Move』talk, so that was left aside .
「A killer move isn't such a simple thing to make, right?」
Well, Naoki had a sound argument .
「It's not that hard . After a hiatus, a long running publication might have 5 or 6 killing moves quickly developed once it resumes . 」
Kazane didn't have a sound argument .
「That's in manga!」
And Naoki's words continued to be sound . He was a boring man .
「Umm, I don't really understand what you're talking about, but doesn't Kazane have an idea for that killer move she mentioned?」
Since the talk wasn't progress, Louise broke in . Naoki looked at his sister with an「Oh, is that so?」expression . Kazane nodded confidently and immediately spoke .
「That's right . A new magic sword will be made for Naoki . 」
「A magic sword?」
Kazane made a satisfied smile after seeing Naoki's surprised face .
「Well then . Do you remember when Yumika was attacked with a light beam near the end of the Crystal Dragon battle?」
「……Ah . 」
It was from a distance, but Naoki saw it . A rainbow beam gouged out a large section of earth . Louise was at point blank range, so she remembered feeling nervous . That power was high enough that it wouldn't have been strange if she had been incidentally killed by it .
「We'll make a magic sword that can fire that attack using one of the Crystal Dragon's horns . 」
Naoki and Louise were taken aback by those words .
「Louise should have seen it before; that『Seventh・Ray』is the model for Sieg's Zexia Ray . 」
Louise was convinced by those words, and Naoki also understood from knowing Sieg from the game and said「Ah . 」
The Heroic Spirit Sieg's secret technique『Zexia Ray』fired from the Great Wing Sword was made by Tatsuyoshi, but the components it was made from were available in the normal game and were simply combined . There originally wasn't a specification that could make an attack that used all 8 elements, but Tatsuyoshi was able to do it by using the combination of element release arrangement and time delay . With that achievement, the Great Wing Sword became an official item . Tatsuyoshi used the sword『Glass Fear』made from the event boss Crystal Dragon『Glass』as a reference . It fired the seven element attack Seventh Ray .
「Naturally, its power depends on Naoki's magical power, so I don't think the ray attack will be as powerful, but it will still have a much higher attack power than any of his current magic swords . 」
Kazane was smiling broadly at him, but Naoki made a slightly depressed expression .
「But getting stronger by relying on the power of such a tool . . . 」
It was the troublesome young boy's idea of wanting to become stronger by his own power . Such an idea was meaningless to Kazane .
「There is nothing wrong with becoming stronger using tools . The only problem is how you use them . 」
Kazane therefore argued down Naoki's words .
「After all, I have my Dragon Ogre Greaves, Yuuko-nee, and the Tatsuyoshi-kun series . Yumika received a powerful spear from Master in the beginning and has the Wolf God Transformation . 」
「Uu… well, that is . . . 」
Naoki moaned . Certainly, Kazane and the others diligently mastered the usage of their equipment .
「Well then, are you saying I should properly master using it?」
Naoki swallowed the words he was going to say earlier and said that .
「Yeah . Since we're using that to make it, Naoki will have to spend his own money without receiving any of this time's reward . 」
「That's fine . 」
Naoki couldn't do anything this time . He was intending to refuse his portion anyway, but if he was able to receive something that could make him useful, he wanted to do so .
(That's right . Rather than stubbornly insisting on becoming stronger by my own power, it's more important to be useful to the party . )
Naoki was ashamed of his statement earlier . He understood that his sister had worked hard to help him find a place in this party when he had no ideas himself .
That's why Naoki thought . He had to become stronger . Louise smile grew wider as she watched him .
◎ Lake Shirodieh, Shirodieh City
「It's a beautiful city . 」
Kazane reflexively said while looking at the elegance of the townscape after they entered .
「I've also never been here before, but this is amazing . 」
Naoki agreed and breathed a sigh while looking at the rows of high-class buildings .
「Well, the people living here are aristocrats and wealthy merchants, along with the many servants and retainers they have . A person can't even enter the city without certain identification . It seems the buildings are standardized before construction so they don't harm the pleasant view . 」
「Really? I'd like to talk to the people responsible . I kind of feel like I've hit the limit of what I can do with the cottage by myself . 」
