Chapter 2 - 5 Crafting Brooch in Commercial City, Einzhale

That’s it.
What I have prepared is a secret potion such thing like that not exist. It is just 30 recovery potion (medium).
I am in already done in preparation state!
I wonder what. This feeling.
It reminds me of taste that my boss gave me a drink when I have overtime work in company for three days while wanting to go home.
Boss from that time said like, “Ufufu. I won’t let you go” with closed eyes. Ahh. I don’t want to remember it because that is not pleasant memory.

Since I already crafted ingots, let’s make appropriate shape on glass using <Reconstruction>.
Well, let’s try to craft it as much as I can for now.
The sample brooch which suppose to gift Wendy is simple design with a great look.

Let’s cut copper ingot into four parts and then make it into pedestal.
I crafting it while imagining oval shaped pedestal, and make a dent in middle for filling coloured glass.
The shape itself is easy that I craft it easily.

『Red Copper Oval Pedestal』

Next one is glass. Let’s add blue one for the time being.
It is just small idea that blue will look good on reddish pedestal. Anyway, it is useful for practice.

<Alchemy skill – Reconstruction>

The shape is same oval design. I will inflate it into sphere shape with thickness that will not make crack on sphere and its surface is slippery.

『 Oval Shaped Glass Sphere』

Yup. It was done.
Eh? Is it easily done like this?
Let’s try to put it in pedestal.

Kachin. Poro.

......Well. Yeah. That’s right. Isn’t it?
Seems like sphere is smaller to fit, but I try to it by suppressing at the edge of glass sphere.
And then I try to attach sphere with pedestal again.

Kachi. KachiKachigaKachin.

That’s right. Isn’t it? It will not work if I try to put pedestal into sphere first.
I’m idiot. I’m stupid as Solte said.

For this time, I will properly put sphere into pedestal.
This size of sphere is fine-tuned repeatedly so it fit into perfectly.

『Red bronze glass brooch Defense +1 Strength +2』

Wow.
It gets ability in it.
It was costed 10.000 Nord on Twisted Iron Necklace + 2 so just by considering + is in item, this might get about 20,000 Nord. I guess?
I don't know the price because I don't know the difference in worth between strength and defense.
But it’s well done.

I make various pedestals in shapes such as circles, ellipses, tear, squares, diamonds, stars, six edge stars, and put glass sphere on them.
The number is variable but ability other than strength and defense did not come out.
Even with this, I crafted 14 red bronze glass brooches.
MP consumption is too much high that I am almost about to faint in during crafting brooches. But I was continued crafting by drinking magic potion (medium) that I has stocked.

I will try to put magic ore in glass place next time.
Magic ore can’t process into ingot but it can be inherited into empty stone. Difference between glass sphere and this is that magic is inherited in stone.

Stone that contain magic stone become shine in inner of stone. I can put out magic power easily as I wish.
In other words, it is equipment with auto magic recover ability.
In any case, let's make it with a magic stone containing magical power. For the being, let’s add 50 MP to empty stone.
The shape is same as first one. It is oval shape.
This time I won’t make mistake again. I will place magic stone first and attach into pedestal at the end.

『Magical Red Bronze brooch Magic Power + 3』

Oh. Oh! Defense ability does not appear but something new come!
How much does magic will increase?
And then,

『Alchemy skill has raised into level 7. New skill <Form Handling> has acquired』

Handling?
Comrade of “Hiding”?
It's a word I've never heard. But does hand-forming mean literally mean making form by hand?
Let’s use it for time being.  Since I already reached level 7, let’s try to test it on silver ore.

I immediately put my hand on silver ore and use <Form handling>.
When I use that skill, both hands are wrapped in something light and thin translucent.
As I guessed, when I pinch the silver ore and stretch it, the silver ore become stretcher and stretcher.
When I knead it with my hand, somehow it looks like interesting figure.

I understand. <Form Handling> is applied as the way as it is named.
However, no matter how much I put it out, I can’t do <Disassemble>.
However, if I stretch out to certain measure, it will split out so it can be useful for separation.

What is the purpose of this skill...?
Even shaping can be done by <Reconstruction>, and getting skill for manual shaping at this level.
Moreover, the DEX is probably the most important to use that skill.
Ah, but is it possible to make fine adjustments without the need to reconfigure the entire object?

I will try to process silver ore into silver ingot and perhaps, I might able to divide ingot into parts using this skill.
I will equip knife that I bought for shaving recently and active <Form Handling>.

[Hope it going well...] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

 When I try to cut silver ingots with knife, it has separated into two parts.
As I thought that, I can use together with tool during skill active.
All depend on is artistic sense I guess...
It will be great depend on how it is used.

I feel that I can customize simple brooch like adding pattern or changing shape using this skill.
Then, for the time being, shall I start will crafting tool?
As for material ...... Just use silver as it is. I guess?
 Oh. Yeah. Certainly, I do have steel ore. Let’s do with steel since it looks strong.

I take out steel ore from storage space and quickly craft it into ingots as usual.
For time being, I will try to imagine a shape look like chisel. If possible, I want to make chisel that can use for crafting wood.

[I’ll come inside. Are you working properly?] (Solte)
[Hey. What will do if he is thinking something?] (Aina)

The one who immediately come rudely into room was Solte.
Aina follow her after she enter this room.

[ I’m doing properly. You know. And also knock door when you come] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Yeah. Yeah. I just collected materials. I got something interesting, buying it if you want it.] (Solte)
[We met Elder Trent.] (Aina)
[Elder Trent?] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[That’s right. This branch it drops is containing magic so it is good to craft staff for mage.] (Solte)
[Elder Trent itself is usually in deeper place for forest. It just coincident that we met at middle of hill.] (Aina)

What taken out is tree branch that at the side of human arm.
How should I say this? This is convenient time and luck is in my side.

[Market price is 200,000 Nord] (Aina)
[I will buy] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[It is immediate decision. Is it okay?] (Aina)
[I am about to need wood and you bring it at this convenient time.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[is that so? Then, it’s great.] (Aina)

When I receive the branch of Elder Trent I bought immediately, I split it in half and store one in storage space.

[What are you going use it?] (Solte)
[Tool for using alchemy] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

I work while talking them.
First, I divide remaining Elda Trent’s branches into parts like four vertically and horizontally two, and make them smaller and shorter.

[Ah. You have broken it into smaller pieces. What a waste.] (Solte)
[Can this is able to use for alchemy?] (Aina)
[Well, even if I said tool, I can want to disassemble it.] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

I active <Form Handling> and start cut with knife on Elder Trent’s branch into vertical line in size that can easily to able hold and handle it carefully.

[Solte. Do you understand what he is doing?] (Aina)
[Who cares. I am not interested in alchemy.] (Solte)
[Then. It is okay for you to not see it....] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[You’re noisy. Whatever it is, it fine.] (Solte)

It is hard to do while feeling eyes of these two from behind.

After that, I cut steel into small pieces that in the form of a circular sword, small circular sword, cut-out sword, small square sword, and flat sword like a chisel.
It is completed with by connecting it with Elder Trent branch that root has been cut off.
Fortunately, during using <Form Handling>, it seems sharpness of blade is ignored so there is no need to sharp it after done.
Even with that, I don’t know how to make blade. I can’t make detailed touch like making a little thinner.

[What is that? Weapon?] (Solte)
[However, weapon can’t create with alchemy? Even if it possible, the best it can make is small knives for throwing.] (Aina)
[No, that why I said. It is for alchemy tool,] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

Solte, who does not care about alchemy is beginning to close her eyes on it.
I become nervous the moment these two people faces are coming close to me.

[Hey. Try to use it.] (Solte)
[Yes. Yes. I understand, please keep quiet] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

For time being, I can start to process silver and since I able to do that, let’s try to make with silver and magic stone.

I will start process silver. I will try make it in a little elaborately this time.
I turn silver that cut previously into sword that have carved line body with <Form Handling>. Then, I add corrugated line to sword with <Reconstruction>.
I craft parts that the edges are sharped along with the flow, make it round.
I make certain amount of these part and combine it to make shape.
What I imagine is wing.

I put certain amount of parts together as base and take out small magic stone.
I attach magic stone to the main place of wing and apply magic into it. I apply to attach a clasp to its natural shape with alchemy.
Then I active <Form Handling> and I cut it with a small sword so that magic flows into wing.
I done this slowly and carefully while having feel slight dizziness.

[Wow....] (Solte)

It is unexpected that the one who make a voice is Solte.

『Magical Silver Wings brooch rise slightly in AGI, critical rate  Rise above slightly MP』

When I examined with <Appraisal>, there were three abilities. This is no numerical increasing but it raises overall of each respective category this time.
Since I have seen magic stone get magic power increase ability when I pour magic ore into empty stone, and when I use that stone in crafting necklace, it is probably got inherited abilities from magic stone.
This is without doubt masterpiece of all I crafted so far.
However, there is one problem.

[puhaa .... What is this? MP is reduced steadily.... And also, I feel quite tired...] (Kazuki Shinomiya)

I get attacked by exhaustion for the usage of MP during activating <Form Handling>.
 However, it seems that branch of Elda Trent attached to the handle makes it easier to adjust the magical power, with that I was able to work smoothly even with this.
Even through MP was poured into magic stone , 80% of total MP is decreased into 70%.
Furthermore, problem is the level of fatigue. Even through I was concentrated in crafting, I’m too much tired.

[The ability is good, but the efficiency is poor ...] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[But it's amazing] (Aina)

Aina-san hand me magic potion and I open it and take a sip.
I think this is great.
It has three abilities and one have small while other two have slight.
Magic stone getting magic power recovery when processing empty stone into it is somehow mysterious, I am impressed on agility getting rise and it might be because of wing that I use design for this brooch.

[Hey Hey] (Solte)
[I won’t give you] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[I haven’t say anything yet! ..... It’s true that I want it.] (Solte)

It's obvious. This will worth at least 2.3 million Nord.
Beside MP consumption is too high so making each make me too much tired.
Even if MP can recover with magic potion, but physical exhaustion can’t recover.

[Hey Hey. If it is money, I will pay you. You know? Sell this to me] (Solte)
[It’s no fair. Solte. I was also wanted thing made by my lord.] (Aina)
[Then Aina also request him to make it! I want this one] (Solte)

Hey. Make another one you said?
Don’t you feel anything on seeing my tired face.
Aina? Don’t look at me with that kind of expectation. You know?
Where does gentle Aina who care about me has gone?

[Hey. How much is it?] (Solte)
[I don't know ...] (Kazuki Shinomiya)
[Then lend me a bit! I’ll go ask Reinrich-sama. You should make Aina’s portion while waiting me] (Solte)

And she picks up my greatest masterpiece and rush toward door.
The only who left behind are Aina and me.
Aina is glancing toward me with expectation.

Hmm ... I understand. I will make it.
Yeah. Let's make it!

After I drunk magic potion, I put out recovery potion (medium) and drink it in one sallow.
Fatigue does not seem to be recovered but it is just for change of pace to get into mood.
