Chapter 065 New Equipment - Resistance Cloak

Within a few days, the Headless Horseman's influence on the starting village vanished completely.

Since then, the team has been very out of control and very active.

At the same time, it also caused quite a bit of trouble in the beginner village.

Fortunately, with Suoh Takeru keeping them in check, the team members behaved themselves and didn't do anything too outrageous.

They just don't understand what restraint means and need to be reminded from time to time.

Although everyone was a bit lazy and lethargic due to the lack of equipment, Suoh Takeru actually enjoyed this leisurely pace of life.

However, such days will only last until today.

A guest arrived at the mansion.

"Welcome, Bill, please come in."

The Suo general Bill welcomed him into the mansion and then led him to the reception room.

"What would you like to drink? Hot water? Tea? Or some sparkling wine?"

"Bubble wine... I'd like to say that, but I have something to take care of later. Never mind, just give me a cup of hot tea."

Bill resisted his craving for alcohol and opted for a cup of hot tea instead.

"Okay, just a moment."

He turned around and made tea.

Thanks to the master-level tea ceremony imitated from Ubuyashiki Tenon, this cup of black tea is fragrant and has a mellow and smooth taste.

Hmm, this premium black tea wasn't wasted.

Incidentally, this extremely expensive premium black tea was bought on credit by Aqua at the teahouse, costing her over 3 Eris.

Bill downed his tea in one gulp, his eyes lighting up, and exclaimed, "Delicious!"

"Thank you for the compliment."

Suoh Takeshi accepted the praise without a second thought.

"Suoh-kun, I never expected that you would be the one who bought this mansion."

Every master blacksmith is basically a homebody, oblivious to everything else and focused solely on the furnace.

It's quite normal that Suoh Takeshi didn't know that the person who bought this haunted mansion was Suoh Takeshi.

"Wu, you really bought a great house!"

Bill looked around and praised the mansion with envy, saying, "It's so big and tall, with perfect natural light, and the price is cheap and the location is great. It's truly enviable!"

"How was it? Pretty good, right?"

Suoh Takeshi was also very satisfied with the mansion, and then suggested to him, "Bill can move in if he wants, after all, you are the team's exclusive blacksmith."

"No, I'll pass."

Bill quickly refused, "I prefer to live in the shop; the furnace and the charcoal fire are the blacksmith's romance!"

"Your love life is so obscure and hard to understand."

Suoh Takeshi grumbled for a moment, then asked, "Let's not talk about that for now. Your purpose today isn't just to visit, is it?"

As he spoke, his gaze was fixed on the long, tightly wrapped object behind Bill.

There, he found what he desperately longed for.

"Yes, as you requested, your weapon has been completed, so I brought it over for you to see and test its quality."

Bill held the object behind him in front of him and slowly opened it as he spoke.

The first thing that catches the eye is a long sword with a black scabbard.

The scabbard had no decorative patterns, and the handle was also plain, making the whole thing appear extremely simple.

If you don't pay special attention, it's easy to overlook its existence.

Because it's too ordinary.

Draw out the blade.

The blade emanated a chilling aura, its silvery-white surface reflecting human faces. As the breathing technique was activated, it slowly turned black, as if coated with a layer of jet-black ink.

"It really is amazing!"

Bill was shocked.

Although Suoh Takeshi had mentioned the incredible properties of the Gorilla Crimson Ore to him before, he remained skeptical until he saw it with his own eyes.

But now, with the facts laid bare before him, he finally believed it.

He drew the blade and swung it a few times, and immediately felt something unusual about the new Nichirin Blade in his hand.

"Hmm...it's a bit heavy."

Listening carefully to the 'whoosh' sound of the weapon cutting through the air, you can feel that it is sharper than before.

However, at the same time, the weight of the Nichirin Blade also increased significantly.

"That's because of the Adman ore!"

Bill, fearing that Suoh Takeshi might suspect that this was due to his lack of forging skills, quickly explained, "Although Adman ore is extremely hard, it is also much heavier than ordinary ores."

"Does higher density also mean higher mass...?"

Seeing his anxious expression as he explained, Suoh Takeshi smiled slightly to reassure him, saying:

"Don't worry, I didn't say it was bad. On the contrary, thanks to the increased weight of the blade, I can deliver more powerful strikes."

Because of the [Body Enhancement] skill, Suoh Takeru's physical abilities are already many times greater than those of ordinary people.

His previous Nichirin Blade was too light, making it feel flimsy and awkward to use. This new Nichirin Blade, with added adamantite ore, is the perfect weight.

"Phew~ I'm glad you're satisfied."

Bill breathed a sigh of relief and finally relaxed.

This knife is not only a commission for him, but also a test of his skills to see if he can be the team's exclusive blacksmith.

Therefore, the moment Suoh Takeru nodded, he truly signed a contract with the [Hero] team.

"Oh, right, I brought over that thing I mentioned before."

Bill turned around and pulled out a small package from somewhere.

"Here you go, the thing is here."

"Oh! It's already finished? So fast?!"

"Of course! My old friend is an expert in this area!"

"That guy with the mohawk who's always shirtless and wears overalls?"

Suoh Takeshi's face was filled with disbelief.

That's right, it's the burly man who was a textile worker that Kazuma Sato met at the succubus shop in the anime!

"Don't underestimate him, he used to be my teammate! ...Never mind, it's nothing."

Bill wanted to recount the adventure stories, but when he realized that Suoh Takeshi's attention wasn't on them, he gave up on continuing.

Suoh Takeshi eagerly opened it; inside was a piece of clothing.

—A white cloak.

This cloak is very similar to the Fourth Hokage's cloak from "Naruto". Except for the bottom pattern being changed to light blue and the character "四代目" (Fourth Hokage) being replaced with the character "武" (Martial), it is almost identical!

The fabric is soft and elastic, making it very comfortable to wear. It's both slimming and stylish.

Especially the large "武" (wu) character on the back, which perfectly matches Suoh Takeshi's aesthetic.

"Wow! This looks really good!"

After putting it on, Suoh Takeshi was very satisfied with the cloak he was wearing and looked at the mohawk-haired man with new respect.

"As long as you're satisfied."

Bill grinned; he was the kind of person who was happier when his friends were praised than when he was praised.

Suoh Takeru had wanted this cloak for a long time.

When he traveled to Demon Slayer and saw that each of the Demon Slayer Corps captains was wearing a flashy cloak and haori, he always wanted to have one too!

He only put it on today.

"The silk of the Earth Spirit Silkworm is strong, wear-resistant, and extremely tough, and it also has a high resistance to various abnormal conditions. Apart from its high price, it is really hard to find any drawbacks."

"really."

Suoh Takeshi nodded slightly, agreeing with his statement.

The truth that "good things are expensive" is the same in every world.

Bill drank all the black tea in one gulp, then got up to say goodbye and leave.

"Well then, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

Suoh Takeshi also saw him to the door and said goodbye, "Please take care. I'll leave the weapons and armor to you from now on."

Bill waved his hand, indicating that he would take care of it.

In the evening, Suoh Takeshi appeared before everyone wearing a cloak and garnered a wave of praise.

They were also promised that the equipment they needed could also be made from this silk.

Everyone was overjoyed.
