Chapter 66 – Butler’s New Weapon ①
We returned home and I let Skor go first.
“I will continue with the island development a little longer.”
“I understand, please don’t push yourself too hard.”
We waved goodbye and I headed towards the garden.
I summoned and set up a worktable.
I converted the “Iron Ore x 67” I obtained today into “Iron”.
Iron ×55 → Iron ×122
Now I can make something else.
For the being, I wanted to make some cleaning tools as requested, and I suddenly remembered that I had “Golden Fur” in the item box. It’s the fur of Grimbrusti. Let’s use this. It’s a decent bundle and should make a good broom.
I used about 50 pieces of wood to DIY.
Wait, it uses that many materials for a broom?
Golden Fur ×1 → Golden Fur ×0
Wood ×2721 → Wood ×2671
I got the “Golden Broom Goltblum”
[Golden Broom Goltblum]
[Attack Power: 180]
[Effect]
Cleaning tool.
Can also be used as a weapon, and has a sturdy build. A mysterious broom that transforms into a “sword” when attacking.
Reduces the wearer’s defense by half.
Low chance of inflicting the enemy with the “Stun” status ailment during physical attacks.
Critical hit rate +50%. Critical damage +50%. If the refinement value is “+7” or higher, an additional +50% critical hit rate and +50% critical damage are added.
I’ve created something incredible…! What is this broom, isn’t it a weapon? I thought I had just made a broom, but it seems I ended up making a weapon. Oh, right, there’s also a weapon manufacturing option on the “worktable”. It seems to have been automatically assigned there.
However, it turned out to be a golden shining broom… it would sell for a high price, but more than that, its effect. Although it halves the wearer’s defense, it can inflict status ailments and has a terrifying effect on critical hits. A pretty good cleaning tool――no, weapon has been made.
“Rasty-sama, something is shining in the garden――Uwa!! What is this golden light… is it gold?”
Alfred peeked out from the entrance to see what was going on. He seemed to be dazzled as he gazed directly at the brilliance of my “Golden Broom Goltblum.”
“This is the Golden Broom Goltblum I made. It’s a weapon.”
“W-Weapon? It looks like just a broom to me.”
“Here, this is Alfred’s weapon. The katana broke and the treasured sword Lightning Rapier is damaged due to the ‘explosion’ of the slime battle.”
That’s right, in the previous Burning Slime battle, the treasured sword Lightning Rapier was in the state of [weapon damage], and was rendered unusable without repair.
Luckily, it wasn’t [weapon destruction], as expected of a treasured sword.
“Thank you very much, Rasty-sama. I am very happy!!”
“Don’t cry, don’t cry. Now try it.”
“Yes, indeed. Let’s see the performance of this broom.”
I quickly made a makeshift scarecrow out of wood in the garden. It was a sandbag with the words “henohenomoheji”1 written on it, serving as a virtual enemy.
“Here, give it a try.”
Alfred gripped the “Golden Broom Goltblum” in his right hand. At first glance, it looks like a child playing with a sword, but he’s very serious.
“Then, here I go. Rasty-sama.”
“Alright.”
I took some distance and watched.
And then――
“——Teiyaahhhhhhhhh!!!”
Alfred swung the Golden Broom Goltblum powerfully. At that moment, the golden light transformed into a beam and was released in a massive burst, blowing away not just the scarecrow, but the entire garden. No, even the forest!
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh…!!”
