Cheat Discovered

Come to think of it, Ichika uses a carving knife as a weapon right?

Daggers, spears, I can even use traps, but my main weapon is a carving knife.

Carving knife, carving knife huh Yep, lets make one.

Ichika. Please get me a tree branch.

Understood. But, why do ya want a branch?

To make Ichika a weapon.

With a branch of wood? I said I could use a lot of stuff, but clubs arent my strong point yknow?

Just bring me a tree branch to use. Oh, it doesnt have to be large. Its just going to be the hilt.

Nn, Ill bring one immediately.

While Ichika went to pick up a branch, I took an iron ingot out of [Storage].

With this, I can use [Create Golem]. Guess Ill make a carving knife blade golem from the iron ingot this time? Well, I can do it.

Meanwhile, Ichika returned holding a branch. I used the life magic [Dehydrate] to take moisture out of the branch. I made the hilt after kneading it, affixing the two together to make the carving knife golem. Furthermore, it was an all-purpose carving knife.

Finally, I made it so that the blade golem would vibrate at an ultra high speed when you poured magical power into it the magic sword carving knife golem was complete.

Even if Im saying it myself, its really good. Im fond of it.

Alright, is this carving knife good?

Eh, ah, un.

Ichika, who was watching me manufacture it, receipted the carving knife golem with her mouth hanging open.

Huh? Eh? How?

Kukukku, this is my magic, [Maker]! A magic that can make anything! I can easily make something like a carving knife if I use my magic!

Whaaaa, I havent even heard of that is it a unique skill!?

Oops, I was just saying it as a prank, but it looks like Ichika seriously believed me. Surprising.

I corrected her in a panic when I noticed.

Sorry, sorry. I was just showing off a bit. Its really just me using [Create Golem].

Huh!? Wait a sec, theres no way [Create Golem] can do stuff like that!? You made a golem with magic!

Her getting more and more surprised despite me correcting myself was amusing.

Still, it went beyond Ichikas permissible range of comprehension as expected. In the end, she said theres no way it could do it.

In other words, Im pretty far away from common sense.

Eh? But this is a golem you know? Its a carving knife-type one though.

U-umm, Goshujin-sama. Golems are humanoid legs, arms, head, body umm ahhh I dont get it I know ya dont follow common sense, but this!

I wonder if the skill normally isnt used like this? Its such a good idea though.

It is but, its mostly just talked about. Kinda like how ya can make hot water by shooting a [Fireball] at water To apply a skill to somethin different, just those mages that specialize in skill research can to that. Even with that, some of the less skilled ones would take their entire life to make a single skill un, Goshujin-sama, its not a bad thing. Ya should call it [Maker] instead of [Create Golem] now. Ya could hand it down in yer family as a unique skill like a secret or somethin.

Huh? Then wouldnt the incantation change if I did that?

Right now, the incantation is more or less, Soil, change your shape, become my servant and obey me, [Create Golem]. Ah, the soil part would change to whats being used. Itd change slightly depending on wood, stone, and iron.

Though its a bit harder if the materials are mixed, I guess the magical power consumption is a bit better when I say the correct material. Still, for some reason the consumption becomes huge if I say tree branch if the actual material were stone.

Ah, so thats it. Its fine to move the words around a little, so I guess changing its fine? Lets give it a shot.

Tree branch, change your shape, obey me, [Maker].

Ooh, it worked. Its shape changed when I filled it with magical power. The bark peeled down the branch as it turned into proper strings.

Then I successfully made a sheath (sheath golem) from the tree branch.

Magic is pretty openly used huh ah, but [Create Golem]s a bit easier on magical power, I guess its because Im used to it? Might be a problem of experience.

No no no, I just said to call it [Maker], but to change the incantation and the keyword!? Rather, how the heck did you change them!? Magic words are cryptic!

Hmm?

By cryptic. do you mean you dont normally understand what the incantations mean?

I-its pretty much the language from an ancient magic civilization, Ive heard stories about it, but no one really knows what the incantations mean.

Oh. Oooh, I see, so thats it. I get it now.

Apparently, even though Im hearing them as normal words, it seems that thats due to Translation Function-san doing his best.

And hes properly translating the meaning of what I say into the incantation.

Holy crap, the ability to understand words I got from Kami-sama was a cheat.

Isnt just that enough to survive? No, itd be bad if I stood out as something like a dungeon master, rejected, rejected! Lets just use this cheat for myself.

Ah, so hows the carving knife? I can personalize it for your grip.

You dont need to do anything, the hilt feels perfect in my hand like Ive used it forever. W-whats with yer masterful technique? Amazing

Though all I did was reproduced a carving knife from my memories, looks like the hilts ergonomics would be its selling point. (It seemed that this worlds carving knifes and swords were adjusted by winding a leather strip around the hilt.)

So try and cut a branch while pouring magical power into it.

Eh? Magical power no way, thiss a magic sword!?

Ichika raised her voice in astonishment.

Eh, its not you know? Its a magic sword (self-proclaimed).

Ichika poured magical power into it, activating the carving knife golem.

She quickly brought the carving knife towards the two centimeter thick branch I had set up, swinging it in a meticulous manner.

Wooah, there almost wasnt any resistance.

Good, again. Three this time.

Though it could easily cut a single one, with three branches it was still cut through like tofu by the carving knife golem that was filled with magical power.

This is perfectly a magic sword huh.

That so?

Weapons that have special effects when you pour magical power into them are called [Magic Swords]. And some have [Increased Sharpness] it didnt look like it earlier, but it has an amazing sharpness doesnt it?

If thats how it was, the magic sword blade golem was definitely a magic sword. Not just self-proclaimed, I did it huh.

Magic swords are unexpectedly really easy to make huh

Gaaaaaaaah! This is! Magic swords are normally gotten from dungeons! Although therere artificial magic swords, they have way worse effects, and it takes master blacksmiths and mages many days to make one! Theres absolutely no way ya just made one in yer hands with that tiny amount of time yknow!?

Woah, I feel sorry for some reason.

Uuu, if I had this carving knife when I was C-rank, I coulda reached B-rank wouldnt this be worth a lot of money if it got sold? Without a doubt itd be worth more than me, a lot of gold coins.

I heard something good. It was something that was free that could be used for a lot of money.

I could also arrange it as a dungeon treasure huh.

I could sell it for myself too ah, thats no good. Id definitely stand out if I suddenly showed up with some of these.

By the way, when I looked into the DP catalog for normal magic swords, they started at 10,000 DP.

It looked like there were various effects, but one around the same as the blade golems was around 20,000 DP.

Since high grade magic swords couldnt be bought with DP either, wouldnt it be a problem if I revealed a number of these?

Haah, the blade golem and shield golem might be fine though. If it constantly vibrated hmmm, itd probably be pretty strong maybe I should do that? I dont get it that well. Might be useless to think about.

At any rate, itd be great if I can prepare some eye-catching stuff myself.

It would be good if I could use some other functions too like using magic.

Next time I might try and see if I can make a golem that uses magic. Yep, next time. Eventually. I wont forget about it.

She said it was worth a lot, but I wonder how much itd actually be worth? Im afraid there are still some drawbacks to the blade golem though, so I dont really care about it.
