I have Became Able to Do Anything with My Growth Cheat but I Can not Seem to Get out of Being Jobless Chapter 307

Chapter 307

(307) This and that before dinner, Guardian Sword

Translator: Tseirp

“Ichino-sama, I have purchased a set . Also, I bought gallnut and iron sulfide!”

“Ah, right, she needed iron sulfide as well . I forgot about that . ”

Gallnut left too strong an impression .

“Leaving that aside, you managed to buy quite a lot . Did you have enough money?”

“Yes, I still have around half remaining . ”

“Half?”

I looked at the shop owner old lady and saw that she was quite tired .

It seemed that Carol negotiated quite excessively .

“It’s okay, I made sure to calculate that the store retains a profit . After all, I didn’t wish to drive a deal that would cause hate . ”

In other words, she would be able to get a further discount if she was prepared to be hated .

So frightening .

I felt bad for the old lady so I secretly bought the seeds of a few medicinal gra.s.ses such as managra.s.s without Carol knowing .

With those, I have the option to cultivate medicinal plants such as managra.s.s in My World .

“『Drying』 . This skill is a lot more useful than expected . I was sure that I would only use it to dry meat or rations or dry my clothes and shoes that are wet from a rainy day . ”

Before dinner . In my room in the log house in My World, I was using Drying on the medicinal gra.s.s that I had artificially hastened their growth .

Normally they would have to be dried over a couple of days but I could easily be done with the drying process with the Drying skill .

Haru seemed to have acquired the same skill as well so I could probably ask her to help with this task the next time .

I heard a knock on the door just as I had that thought .

“You can come in . ”

I knew even if I didn’t ask who it was .

After hearing my reply, Carol opened the door and entered .

Instead of her usual clothes, she was in her underwear that was similar to a negligee .

“Thank you for waiting . Ichino-sama . ”

“Sorry for making you wait . ”

“No . I would be lying if I said I didn’t wait but Ichino-sama had to wait too . Carol is happy knowing that Ichino-sama waited for me . ”

Carol smiled at me . That smile was not the smile of a young girl but a smile from a 17-year-old maiden .

“Pardon me . ”

Carol’s appearance changed as she said that .

She turned into her adult version .

” … Ichino-sama —”

“Carol —”

I led Carol to the bed, sat beside her and touched Carol’s breast as I was invited .

It felt extremely good and soft . My heart was beating loudly .

But —

“It feels different after all . ”

“What’s different?”

“I like Carol . But the Carol I like is not the Carol you are now . ”

I hugged her and requested .

“Please return to your usual appearance . ”

“That’s unfair, Ichino-sama . You will always think of Carol as a kid when I am in this form . ”

Carol returned to her original form .

My heart started pounding again .

“Sorry . But I realized . The Carol I like, the Carol that makes my heart beat is this Carol after all . ”

“Carol is still Carol no matter what my outer appearance is . ”

“That is true . But I guess I am worse than I thought . I like the Carol you are now more than any other form you have . ”

” …… That’s really unfair … Ichino-sama . ”

Carol whispered into my ear and bit my ear playfully .

【Ichinojo leveled up】

【Philanderer skill: 「Art Magic」acquired】

【Job: Gambler is now available】

※※※

That day after dinner, I tried using the magic I learned from Philanderer — Art Magic .

My magical power mutated into something similar to ink and I rushed to take out paper and drip the ink on it . Upon doing so, that ink freely moved as I willed it to .

(Does this mean this spell lets me draw whatever I picture in my head?)

It was a skill that was extremely wasted on Philanderer and I felt that it should be acquired by the Artist job .

Of course, that was the dream magic for manga artists — the drawing was done while I was lost in thought and I immediately tore the drawing in two . I prayed that the ink won’t flow and make a mess — actually no, please make a mess of the drawing .

Why did I paint Carol’s nude body — well actually I knew the reason why .

The first time with Haru was quite tough but comparatively, although the first time with Carol was not so bad that it was miserable but it was hard . I’ll leave it up to your imagination as to how it was hard .

… It wasn’t because we did it before dinner .

Carol probably can’t walk today . I offered to apply healing magic but she refused so I guess I’ll at least bring her dinner to her room .

Despite that experience, I realized that it made me more happy than embarra.s.sed .

As I was thinking —

“Master, do you have a minute?”

I heard Haru’s voice .

“Ah, please wait — yup, okay . ”

I threw the painting that was torn in two into my item bag and invited Haru in .

“Master, actually I wanted to talk . ”

Haru said and asked me for advice .

It wasn’t regarding Carol . Haru had congratulated me before I could even tell her . Apparently, she could smell Carol on me . I didn’t know where the scent could linger even after I had applied Clean to clean myself .

Leaving that aside, now I should focus on Haru .

I listened to her .

“It’s certainly quite worn out . ”

She has been using a short sword and the Fire Dragon Fang until now and that short sword was the issue . It was maintained regularly but it was quite worn by now and the blade seemed dull .

I was curious how she could wear the blade down in such a short span of time but well, it’s Haru we’re talking about . She probably fought in quite a reckless manner .

“All right . Then tomorrow, before we leave let’s get a new one from a weapon shop . ”

“Er … if possible, I would like Master to make one . ”

“Me?”

“The sword on Master’s waist — Master made that, right?”

She said and pointed at the katana on my waist .

“This is actually not a sword but a katana (blade) . ”

I corrected her and drew the sword .

It was a beautiful katana made in the image of Haru .

“Yeah, I made it . In the dwarf village . ”

“It’s a very pretty blade . ”

“Yeah, it’s a work I’m proud of . But I’m surprised you can tell that I made it . ”

“Do I call it … soul? I feel such power emanating from it . ”

I wonder if that was from the inscription?

The blade was inscribed with the name 「White Wolf Fang」 .

A blade made in the image of Haru . Its name carried the meaning that it would never break .

Well, the katana certainly contained my thoughts or something like a soul .

Haru did not have any skill or a particular perception of such things . She probably felt it with her heart .

I’ll interpret it as such .

“But it has to do with the materials . ”

For metals, I only have the silver mined from My World . And perhaps the mithril that the Dark Elves have . A weapon made of silver will probably not satisfy her needs and I will need more Alchemist levels in order to smelt mithril from its ore . And I do not have enough Blacksmith level to work with mithril either .

Even if I have tamahagane, a katana (blade) is out of the question .

She doesn’t have the Katana (Blade) Equip skill .

” … All right . But I have to gather the materials so I can’t get it done immediately . ”

I said and took out the set of blacksmithing tools I prepared when I made the steel sword in the past and instantly made a steel dagger .

In the end, I made an inscription .

Although it was makeshift, that sword was a sword that would protect Haru’s life .

I didn’t make the sword half-heartedly .

“Haru, use this . ”

“This —”

Haru examined the steel dagger .

“Master, I sense a strange force from this sword . ”

“It’s name is 【Guardian sword】 . A sword that protects Haru and my life . ”

“A sword that protects Master’s life —”

Haru looked at the sword and tears swelled in her eyes .

… Eh?

Wait, why is she crying?

“Master has become much stronger than I had imagined . I was uneasy . If Master actually needed me . But Master has given me this sword and asked me to protect your life . That makes me happy . ”

“Haru, you’re exaggerating . It is stronger than regular steel swords due to the inscription but it is really just a makeshift sword so I would be troubled if you treat it as something so impressive . ”

” — That is not true . This sword will be my family heirloom and when I fail to protect Master, I am prepared to take my own life with this sword . ”

“You’re exaggerating way too much! Or rather, please don’t take your own life with a sword meant to protect life . ”

Also, please don’t make it a family heirloom .

Once I marry Haru, I don’t want a sword that I made in a minute to become a family heirloom .

— Sigh, maybe this was a failure .

I have to make a new sword for Haru as soon as possible .
