- Well, listen... What if he's actually a kraken at heart?
- That would suit me just fine... - Ayano glances at her bare legs, exposed by her Minjin dress, which she hopes won't get wet. - I hope I'm agile enough. Do you have a spear, EdgeLord-kun?
The Lord finds a straight branch of a cherry tree growing nearby, cuts it down with his dagger, and then cleans it of unnecessary branches and other irregularities.
- Luckily for both of us, Ayaya, you don't need to be a blacksmith or a carpenter to make something like this.
- Ayaya? - The mermaid repeated, surprised. - Ayaya... EdgeLord-kun... Do you even have nicknames for each other?..
Ignoring the fish's envious and wistful gaze, the Lord began to strip the bark from the future spear. When that was done, he gathered some dry grass and twigs, and then started a fire.
- I haven't done this in a long time, but maybe I should have spent less time in the city.
While the fire was burning, the phantom found a reasonably sized stone, dragged it to the source of the flame, and then placed the end of the spear in the fire. When it was charred, the man began to sharpen it against the stone he had brought earlier.
- This way, it will not only be deadly sharp, but it will also be disinfected from all sorts of nastiness.
The improvised spear turned out to be 180 centimeters long, very sharp, and surprisingly comfortable to use.
- Here you go.
