Is it wrong to become a scumbag?

Chapter 224



“Nodachi?”

While some might be confused with this weapon, a nodachi is also a traditional Japanese sword. However, it has a longer length, similar to a Zweihander or claymore.

The blacksmith seemed to fluster since he had never heard about the nodachi, but hearing the description of this weapon from Tsukasa, he was speechless since this guy also wielded a weird weapon like Tiona.

According to his description, the blade had a length of 160 cm, and the grip required 30 cm of length.

In other words, it was so damn long!

The blacksmith scratched his head and asked, “Can you use such a weapon?” Unlike the katana, which had a length of around 60 to 80 cm. The nodachi that Tsukasa asked for had a total length that was even taller than his height!

Tsukasa’s height was around 180 cm, and he could become taller in the future.

However, the weapon he requested was even taller than him, which made the blacksmith feel speechless.

“We don’t have such a weapon now, but we have something similar.”

This old yet magnetic voice attracted everyone.

“Boss!”

Tsukasa looked at the old man with long straight white hair and a silver beard. He was very short but had a strong and healthy build. “Who is this?” He whispered to Tiona, but he could guess more or less who this old man was.

“This is Goibnui. He’s the God of the Goibniu Familia,” Tiona whispered.

However, Goibniu threw something at Tsukasa suddenly.

Tsukasa caught the weapon that was thrown at him and raised his eyebrow. “Claymore?”

“Show me how you wield that weapon, then I’ll think about creating the weapon you want,” Goibniu said.

Tsukasa looked at the claymore for a while before he asked, “You mean you want to be cut?”

“!!!”

The people inside the workshop were filled with chills, and they forgot the hot temperature of the forge.

However, they furiously shook their heads together.

“No! No! No!”

They felt trepidation when they saw him. It felt like they were facing a sharp blade that could cut them in half at any time.

Tsukasa just chuckled and said, “It was just a joke.” Then, he looked at the Goibniu and asked, “You want me to do it here?”

“Yeah, here.” Unlike the rest, Goibniu seemed unfazed by Tsukasa’s sharp aura. Instead, he became more interested in him. He was the god of smithing, and of course, creating the strongest weapon was his purpose in life. Choosing someone to wield that weapon was also the best thing.

However, the talent of humans was limited, and there was no one who could satisfy Goibniu.

Even the sword princess didn’t even reach his standard.

However, Goibniu didn’t mind making the weapons for anyone as long as they had money since it was the business of his Familia. Still, when he saw Tsukasa, he felt his body burning with excitement since he could see it.

Tsukasa was like a volcano, and once he erupted, he would show something that one couldn’t imagine.

Still, Tsukasa didn’t know what Goibniu was thinking. He just held the claymore in his hands before he took it out from its sheath. The way he took out the blade from its sheath was just breathtaking. It was truly beautiful from the beginning to the end. Everything was so smooth. It was a skill only those who had mastered the essence of iron could do.

This was a skill that was impossible for others to replicate.

Tsukasa swung the claymore down, using all the muscles on his body unitedly, efficiently, without wasting his movement. He didn’t use his magic or ability, only his skill, yet everything about it was so perfect. Then, it was as if butter, the hardened ground, was slashed by the claymore.

“….” Everyone.

Tsukasa lifted the claymore and observed it slightly before he nodded since it was more comfortable than the one he used in the arena.

On the other hand, Tiona could only show a bitter smile since she realized Tsukasa hadn’t been serious when he thought of her in the arena, especially when he saw him able to cut down the ground easily as if a butter. However, she also knew if he was serious, the only result of the battle as she was either dead or amputated.

While Tiona felt complex, she felt happy he was strong, but she still felt complicated!

Tiona wondered whether there was a way for her to become stronger. She looked at Tsukasa and wondered whether he had a way to make her stronger.

“Amazing…” Goibniu murmured, then asked, “Why not use a claymore? It’s more powerful, right?” He had seen the design of the sword that Tsukasa requested. While the design was quite unique, it was weak in terms of the direct competition power. It would even break into two when it was used carelessly.

On the other hand, the claymore wasn’t that much different from the nodachi. Instead, it was more powerful since it wouldn’t break when it was used for a direct competition power.

“It’s alright.” Tsukasa shook his head and said, “The weapon I have requested is meant to cut with speed and technique, not with weight and power.”

Goibniu thought for a moment and nodded. “I understand, I’ll make this sword for you.”

“Thanks.” Tsukasa nodded, then asked, “But how much is it?” He knew Tiona’s net worth was just tens of millions of valis. While it wasn’t bad, it wasn’t that much either, considering the price of an expensive weapon wasn’t cheap.

“It’s free. You don’t need to worry about the payment.” Goibnui waved his hand and returned to his workshop since he was about to make Tsukasa’s sword. “You can return here after two weeks. Your sword will be ready by then.”

“Huh? Is that okay?” Tsukasa was dumbfounded and wondered whether it was part of his “Luck.”

Not only Tsukasa, but everyone was also dumbfounded.

However, the blacksmiths also understood the feeling of their god, who wanted to make a weapon for Tsukasa since they also felt their weapons would be happy if it was wielded by someone like Tsukasa.

It might be their imagination, but they felt he was like someone who was loved by weapons.

“Yeah, I just made it because I think you’re the most suitable person to wield my weapon,” Goibniu said frankly.

Tsukasa blinked his eyes before bowing his head slightly and saying loudly, “THANK YOU VERY MUCH!”

Tiona had also woken up from her stupor and had also done something similar. “THANK YOU VERY MUCH!”

Goibniu ignored them and started his work.

Still, Tsukasa and Tiona looked at each other, and they were quite speechless.

“Should we go to the guild?” Tsukasa asked.

“Okay.” Tiona nodded.

“Oh, by the way, can I use this sword before my sword is ready?” Anyway, Tsukasa was going to get a sword from Goibniu for free, so he tried to be shameless and asked this claymore since it felt better than the weapons he usually stole from the monsters in the dungeon.

The uncle readily agreed that it was better for the claymore used by Tsukasa, and Tsukasa could also become their ambassador to make the Goibniu Familia more popular.

Tsukasa thanked the uncle and left with Tiona. After he walked out, he looked at the sunny sky and said, “Tiona.”

“Hmm?”

“If I have to pay the sword made by Goibniu, how much do you think I’ll have to pay?” Tsukasa asked.

Tiona hesitated for a bit, but she said honestly, “Maybe around 100 million valis.”

“….”

“Do you have that much money?” Tsukasa asked after a moment of hesitation.

“…No,” Tiona said bitterly. After all, while she wanted to act cool to buy his weapon, she didn’t have that much money, especially when she had just bought her expensive weapon.

“….”

“I am lucky,” Tsukasa said after a moment of pause.

“Yeah, you’re really lucky.” Tiona also nodded, agreeing with his word since Tsukasa was really lucky.

The two had a complicated mood before Tsukasa said, “Let’s have lunch. I’ll treat you.”

“Eh? Is that okay?” Tiona was stunned but quickly became happy.

“It’s okay. You have helped me so much today. Let me treat you as a way of thanking you,” Tsukasa said softly as he patted her head.

“…..”

Tiona stared at Tsukasa in a daze and thought she really had fallen in love with him.
