“This… I see. This magic item is exactly what it looks like.”
“Yes. Its name is Wasp Needle. The armor part is like a bonus, and the way to fight with this magic item is to reinforce the attack power and precision of the needle with magic energy.”
“It’s a very simple magic item. I guess with this, fighting up close is the only option…”
“But that means she would really have to get better at fighting hand to hand. What do you think, big brother?”
As Melt said, Mizari’s Wasp Needle was very simple in shape and abilities.
Everyone stated their thoughts on the magic item, that received magic energy through magic crystals to strengthen the needle. It seemed it was exactly what it looked like, but what did Mizari’s new master have to say about it…?
“Oh? Oooh!?”
…For some reason, he alone was a little worked up.
Well, the reason was somewhat clear, but none of the people present understood why his eyes shined as he looked at Wasp Needle.
The fact that they could not read what Yuugo was thinking… No, even if they could, all they would find were words and phrases they could not at all understand, like ‘perfect’, ‘harmony’, and ‘let’s fall into hell’. If anything, they would be more confused.
Did the person using this have the capability to lead special forces? He thought things the others would not understand in the slightest.
He bared his nichiasa otaku nature while looking at Mizari’s magic item, and then suddenly looked up with a big smile.
“Nice magic item! Really! I kind of want it! Uwah! So cool!!”
“T-thank you. I was not expecting to hear that.”
“You can say you’re kind of creeped out, Mizari. He gets like this sometimes.”
“I really don’t know what gets him like this, but it’s funny, so I like it!”
“H-hahahahahahahaha…. I see…”
Rather than showing a good reaction, Yuugo seemed to have a keen interest, which threw Mizari off a little.
Her blank expression broke a little, but they left Yuugo and his bad habit be, as the others started asking questions about Wasp Needle.
“You said you strengthen its power and precision with magic energy, but how do you use it exactly?”
“The needle extends with magic energy, and I use it to attack. By infusing it with magic energy, I can extend it to about the size of a straight sword.”
“Can you attack from a distance, like shooting magic energy?”
“Yes. I can fire stored magic energy.”
“Eh? So it’s all-purpose, right? What were you so worried about…?”
“Well…”
This magic item was mainly used to fight up close, but it had a reach that would not be outdone by weapons, and a trick that let it attack from a distance. As Phi heard about the abilities of Needle Wasp, he was surprised, prompting him to ask that question.
What was the reason for her worries about her growth, with that magic item with simple but very useful abilities? Mizari seemed reluctant to answer, but as she closed her mouth, Yuugo clapped and turned to his friends.
“All right! It’s late, so let’s start the training in earnest tomorrow and go to sleep early!”
“…Yes. I will go back to the dormitory. I look forward to tomorrow, master Yuugo.”
“Hahaha, don’t call me that, it tickles.”
He said with a bright tone, as he prompted everyone to call it a day.
Mizari politely bowed and left, and Melt turned to Yuugo.
“So Yuugo, about Mizari’s worries with her growth…”
“Yes… I think that’s it.”
“Eh!? You know what she’s worried about!?”
“Hm, kind of. It’s a very simple issue, so I think you’ll understand once you use a magic item.”
It seemed everyone except Phi knew what the problem was.
Yuugo turned to his little brother, who was very curious, with an awkward smile.
“Let’s watch Mizari fight tomorrow. It should be made clear then.”
They had a good idea of what it was, but they were not certain. Only by watching Mizari the next day would they see if they were right.
Despite his inexperience, since he took on the role of master, Yuugo was determined to give Mizari good advice, so he decided to give his tired body some rest, in preparation for next day’s training.
