Re:Zero: Starting from the Great Transformation

Rudeus looked thoughtfully at the scrolls I was selling.

"I'll just say I've mastered this technique. If you want two, just take them. I won't charge you. I can hardly sell them all anyway."

"How can that be possible... Oh, by the way, if I use the scroll, I can use healing magic without chanting."

"That's right. But the scroll itself is a disposable item. If you want to get rid of it once and for all, you have to make it into a magic item."

"Magic tools... I've never learned anything about them."

“Me too.”

Neither Rudeus nor I have ever learned how to make magic items.

Pergius' library contained this knowledge.

But that is actually quite complicated and requires systematic learning.

And during the production process, magic power is needed throughout the whole process.

Basically, it can be said that I have no chance with it.

Rudeus should have some knowledge about this, but so far he probably has no experience in making it.

"But this is one of the three great magical kingdoms after all."

Rudeus rubbed his chin.

"There are plenty of people who are skilled in magic tools. If I pay them, I should be able to find someone who can do it, right?"

"It might work……"

There are indeed quite a few magic tool workshops around here.

This is also the main business of the three major magic countries.

Furthermore, as the Principality of Basherant's window to the Kingdom of Asura, the relevant industrial chain should be well-developed. If it's just making mid-level or lower magical tools... I think it should be fine.

Rudeus nodded thoughtfully.

"It feels very suitable..."

"Appropriate for what?"

"Ah...it's nothing, you don't have to worry about it."

Rudeus's statement was vague.

It's really hard to understand.

"By the way, Sarah, I almost have an idea. I'll go ahead."

"Okay, leave this to me."

The two had a rambling conversation.

Rudius left Sarah and hurried away alone.

"..."

I totally don't understand the situation.

Actually, I was completely treated as a light bulb.

No matter what, apologize first.

"Um... Sarah, I'm so sorry."

"Why are you apologizing all of a sudden?"

"So, you and Rudeus were dating, but..."

"A date... uh, does this count as a date?"

Sarah looked embarrassed.

I understand.

It is normal for a girl in love to feel embarrassed when her feelings are revealed before she officially confesses her feelings.

What a young and immature relationship.

"Speaking of which, your relationship is progressing really fast."

I couldn't help but sigh.

I've been immersed in commissions recently, thinking about fighting monsters and swordsmanship every day... Occasionally, when I have some free time, I draw scrolls to supplement the family income.

Not to mention Sarah, I rarely even go out with Rudeus.

At most, we would occasionally run into each other in the union and say hello.

The result is……

Their relationship has progressed to the point where they go shopping together.

How to say.

Should I say that I feel a little complicated?

It’s like suddenly finding out that two good friends are no longer single, and the people they are no longer single with are each other.

I feel like I'm the only one left and I'm single. I feel isolated...

But on the other hand, I feel happy.

After spending some time with her, I can confirm that Sarah is a good girl.

She deserves to be cherished by everyone.

Even Rudeus is the same.

and so……

"Congratulations, Sarah."

I said it from the bottom of my heart.

"So what have you been saying since just now? It's so confusing. We just went out to buy something together, and today just happens to be our day off..."

"Yeah, I understand."

"I always feel that your misunderstanding is getting deeper and deeper..."

Sarah hung her head, looking helpless.

The little girl is so dishonest.

While Rudeus isn't exactly a slow-witted male protagonist, he's rarely pursued women. If you want to get along with him, it's better to be proactive.

Do you want to give Sarah some advice?

"anyway……"

Just as I was lost in thought, Sarah suddenly spoke.

"You told me a lot about Rudeus before, but you never told me about yourself."

"This..."

I scratched my head.

To be honest, I didn't expect Sarah to be interested in my affairs.

But to be honest, I don't have anything worth mentioning in this world.

He has no famous name, nor has he defeated any powerful monsters. He has been traveling around the world for three years and has been doing the work of an adventurer as he pleases.

Maybe it’s because I never grow old.

The concept of time is a little weak for me.

So even if Sarah asked me about me, I wouldn't know what to say...

"Is there anything you like to eat?"

"what?"

"Why are you so surprised? We're already pretty familiar with each other, right? Is it presumptuous to ask such a question?"

"No... I don't have any particular favorite food. If I had to say, my hometown is mostly wheat-based."

"pasta?"

Sarah looked thoughtful.

Just when I wanted to say something else.

Sarah suddenly clapped her hands, as if she had made up her mind.

"Okay, it's decided."

"...Excuse me, what exactly was decided?"

"You'll know when the time comes!"

After saying this.

Sarah left in a hurry without looking back.

……

Results come to an end.

I still don't know what they are doing.

Almost a week passed like this.

I had almost forgotten about it when Rudius suddenly said he wanted to invite me to visit his place.

Adventurer: 33, Celebration

Rudius suddenly invited me to sit in his room.

how to say……

This invitation was quite sudden.

We're friends, but even friends wouldn't suddenly invite someone to their house for no reason, right? And no matter how you look at it, it looks like Rudeus had this planned...

Having said that, Rudeus wouldn't harm me.

I agreed for the time being.

"So, what's your plan for suddenly asking me to go to your place?"

I asked casually on the way to the hotel where Rudeus was staying.

"Uh, how should I put it..."

Rudeus scratched his face in embarrassment.

"That is, we've known each other for such a long time and have a life-or-death relationship, but we don't even know where each other lives. Isn't that terrible?"

“I don’t understand what’s so bad about it.”

And what about the friendship that is worth life and death?

Could it be referring to the experience at the Red Dragon's Jaw?

"By the way, speaking of which...why did Orsted kill me in the first place?"

It seems that the topic feels a bit awkward.

Rudeus began to try to change the subject.
