My 【Repair】Skill Became an Almighty Cheat Skill, So I Thought I'd Open Up a Weapon Shop

During business hours that day, I decided to sew between Noir's tasks and ask about the Dwarf sword I had received from the Neulars.

Of course, it's a consultation after making sure there's plenty of room for noir.

A famous sword passed down from generation to generation to the lineage of the Neulars.

Mysterious luminescence phenomenon that occurs in response to a skill.

A three-dimensional magical crest and thoughtful structure, planted inside the sword.

After conveying these and then showing them the real thing, Noir quickly put in place a specific hypothesis after having examined the state of the sword body for a few moments.

"... maybe it enhances your aggressive, skill..."

Noir said that while the sword emitted light in response to [repair] and [weight loss], it could not find much meaning in it because the original subject was combat skills.

Mechanisms that respond to skills in specific areas are more efficient and more effective than those that work for all skills.

And if it's a feature granted to the sword, it's still likely limited to combat orientation.

The minimal response to other skills was whether the ability to discern the type of skills worked or something.

"I see. Sure, at that time, there wasn't a guy with the skills to use for a direct attack, so I couldn't be sure of that."

"But... a little, strange... maybe. Dwarf's, Sword, Yet... React to Skills, Do..."

…… What does that mean?

I somehow care about the words that the noir overflows casually, and I try to hear them back with a sense of chatter.

Then at that time, another woman's voice jumped in from outside the door that was open.

"You're telling an interesting story. May I, too?

"Hild? What's the matter, rare"

It was the Hilds of the Knights of the Neon Scale.

He wears the hood as deeply as usual and hides the long, pointed ears that characterize the elves, but underneath they appear to shine his eyes in curiosity.

This may be the first time Hildo has ever come to the White Wolf store.

And not to the store, to the working space behind it.

"Permission to interrupt has been given by Sir Garnett in the store. Actually, there was a report in connection with the official duties of the White Wolf Knights. I'm not in a hurry, so can I bite one on an earlier topic?

Noir makes me a wall and gives up the place, and Hildo comes into the empty space.

Hildo, who belongs to the Knights of Honeyscales, is not a militant of what is a knight, but rather a person classified as scholar or researcher skin.

The expert's story is interesting, so I encourage him to tell me what he likes, and Hildo lightly coughed up one before starting to tell a detailed explanation.

"The 'skills' that humans can acquire and non-human organisms, starting with demons and warcraft… that is the 'ability to consume and exert magic' that various organisms, including even medicinal herbs, are basically considered homogeneous, but they are considered different if they are strictly classified"

I was surprised to hear that, but the noir calmed down without looking surprised.

For example, medicinal herbs - plants that are crushed and applied to wounds or extracted into potions of recovery - have the power to use magic to heal their own breakage.

This power enables us to regenerate immediately even if some of them are eaten by other animals, surviving vigorously and leaving their offspring behind.

Both the application and potion are established by the principle that the self-regenerating capacity of the herb is applied to the human body, and the herb that has been processed is not restored and the human body recovers.

And this power was supposed to be similar to the skills that man possesses.

Of course, there are a lot of guys out there who know and don't know, not natural common sense, like Garnett did when we first met - apparently, among the experts, that was even convenient and inaccurate knowledge.

"The 'results' to be achieved and the 'process' of realization are the same. For example, magical skills and elf magic will both be sealed with the same pair of magic seals. The biggest difference would still be 'means of mastery'"

"'Means of Mastery'... Could it be faith?

When I asked him that, Hildo nodded all the time to get my will.

"Human skills are expressed through faith in the gods. But it's not human, it's a productive function."

"... there's no way I have faith in herbs. That's certainly true if you ask me. But so do elves and dwarves? The Demons have their own faith, don't they?

The Dwarves of "Demon King's Castle Realm", including the Neulars, worship the alphazur as the god of dungeon creation.

Does that have nothing to do with ability?

"The Demons also have faith, but not as wide as humans. So I've been completely unaware of the relationship between ability and faith."

"Well... will it? If the subject of faith is varied, I can empirically tell, 'If faith is different, skills are different,' but if it's the other way around, it's not strange not to know."

"Yes, but the research of our Knights of the Neon Scale has shown that the abilities of the Demon Nation are different from human skills and are acquired regardless of faith."

The Knights of Honeyscales are knights who manage and guard the temple, but at the same time they are a group that studies the relationship between faith and skills.

Besides, there are noirs who don't know what's going on, so I'm not talking about it, but Hildo is an elf, not a human.

You probably know better than any other person about the difference between a human and an elf.

"... hey, Hild. Hey, when the spirit is stripped from the flesh by magic, humans can't use their skills unless they restore their connection to the flesh, but elves and other demons don't..."

"It's still in the research phase, but maybe it's not irrelevant"

Previously, by the trap set by Ayle the High Elf, me, Garnett, and Hild were dragged into the spiritual worldly space inside The Right Eye of Wisdom.

Me and Garnett couldn't get back into contact with the flesh and use their skills, whereas Hild was in a state where 'we can use our powers as long as we can secure magic, but we can't bring out the magic of the flesh because of Ayle's interference'.

At that time, we were able to recover the connection (link) and escape the predicament by securing magic by a slightly more forceful means and having Hildo wield his power.

Now that I think about it, maybe that was the moment when the differences between humans and elves surfaced.

"The strange thing about Dwarf's sword reacting to 'skill' is that, in short, Dwarf's power is not skill, but how..."

"Well, that... thing..."

"Of course, these are similar in nature, so maybe they both just react indiscriminately. As a researcher, you're a very interesting substitute."

Neither Noir nor Hild sees this as a serious question, but rather a degree of awareness that it is somewhat strange and intriguing.

A hild that speaks for a long time and relents to satisfaction.

Over that head, a garnet still throws a frightened voice through the opening entrance.

"Hey, if you think it's weird it's taking a while. Are we done here?"

"Ah! Su... sorry! Obsessed!

Before the rushing Hildo, Noir and I looked at each other unexpectedly and laughed at each other.
