Kazuma and the others, having come into some money for the first time in a while, said they were going to buy equipment, so Yunyun also decided to go with them to buy necessary items after getting back all the Eris she lent to Megumin. And Chris, who had nothing to do, also followed.
I was at home making food for emergencies and for the wedding. Since time doesn't pass in the inventory, it didn't matter if I made it now. From various creations, it seems that the more food, the better, so I cook at home whenever I have free time.
"Among creations, there are many apocalypse and dystopian worldviews, so it can't be helped..."
After making quite a lot of food, it quickly became evening, and Kazuma and the others returned. They all looked shiny since they bought good equipment. But Kazuma came with a huge sword on his shoulder, and upon closer look, it seemed to be the 'Demon Sword Gram'.
"Huh? Where did you get that?"
"On the way, a cheater who came to this world like us challenged me to a duel, so I won and got it."
It seems that 'Mitsurugi Kyouya' has already come to Axel Town. Mitsurugi Kyouya is a person who came from that country to this world like Kazuma, and he is someone who admires Aqua as a goddess without knowing her true nature. He has a strong sense of justice and has been very active since coming to the KonoSuba world.
However, he is also a character who shows great weakness in unexpected situations or improvisation due to relying on the demon sword to fight easily. So, he couldn't block Kazuma's irregular attacks and luck-based steal attacks, and was retired instantly without being able to do anything.
'Wait... now that I think about it, isn't the Demon Sword Gram also made of orichalcum?'
"Kazuma, can you give me that sword for a moment?"
"Sure."
Kazuma handed the Demon Sword Gram to me. I checked the sword with [Appraisal]. As expected, it was a sword made of orichalcum. I immediately started checking its structure with [Naked Eye].
'I was worried about where to get orichalcum, but I was lucky.'
After finishing the check, I returned it to Kazuma and asked.
"What are you going to do with this now?"
"Well, I was thinking of just selling it."
"Don't do that, keep it and sell it to its owner. Divine weapons can't be used by anyone but their owner, and if that guy is active, it'll be easier for us too."
Kazuma thought for a moment and said.
"Hmm... listening to you, that makes sense. I was going to make him suffer a bit since he's a bit unlucky guy. But I'll sell it expensive instead."
"Yeah, do that. Let's eat first. Today it's ramen."
"Oh~ really?"
When I served ramen for dinner, everyone ate well and enjoyed it, especially Kazuma, who ate two bowls while crying, perhaps because it was ramen after a long time.
After feeding them, I went to my room and made two Japanese swords from orichalcum using my [Material Manipulation] ability. This time, since I made them with uniform atomic arrangement without impurities, they seemed to have better performance than existing orichalcum equipment.
[As a result of analyzing orichalcum, it has similar hardness to uru from the Marvel worldview and can hold power, but it is not a magic-affinitive metal like uru; it is a mana-affinitive metal.]
"Really? So if you use it with mana, orichalcum is a better metal."
[That is correct.]
Listening to Nano's analysis, it seemed I checked well.
As it was about time for Luna to finish work, I went to Luna's house. Lately, I've been sleeping at Luna's house, and strangely, the pregnant Luna seemed to have definitely increased libido. But since I'm big, I'm holding back, thinking it might be dangerous for the fetus.
"Um, Cassian, can't we just do it today?"
"It's early in the pregnancy, so it might be dangerous. If something goes wrong, it could lead to a miscarriage."
We've been in this state for several days. So I asked Nano.
"Do all women become more sexually active when pregnant?"
[It varies from person to person. Some people even decrease due to hormonal changes.]
"Is it okay to have intercourse?"
[In the early 1-3 months, the fetus is settling in the uterus and the body is forming, so you need to be careful. But from the mid-term 4-6 months onward, as long as you don't do it roughly, it's fine to enjoy. In the late term 7-10 months, there is a risk of premature birth, so it's better not to do it.]
"So, you're saying to wait at least 3 months before doing it."
[That is correct.]
"Then it can't be helped..."
After hearing Nano's words, I had no choice but to satisfy her occasionally with my hands.
After a few days passed, the wedding finally approached, and we prepared to welcome guests at the mansion. Luna had a lot to prepare with the help of the women, but for me, it was just wearing a suit, so I helped by taking out the food from the inventory and setting it up, and when the time came, I went to my room, changed into a suit, and came out.
It seemed like all adventurers in Axel Town came to the wedding. Partly because of my activities at the guild, but also because of Luna, who is famous as a beautiful guild receptionist, and especially many male adventurers were crying.
"Bride entrance~"
Wow~!!
Luna was wearing makeup and a white dress beautifully, and with the lead of an older guild employee, she was walking slowly. Certainly, every time I get married, I feel that all women in wedding dresses are beautiful.
The ceremony was officiated by a priest of the Eris faith. Because of that, Aqua made a fuss, but frankly, I didn't want to receive such a god's blessing.
"With Lady Eris's protection, I pray for blessings in the future life of the groom and bride...... Groom, kiss the bride."
I slowly kissed Luna's shy lips.
"With this, I declare the two as husband and wife."
Wow~!!!
"Congratulations!! Silver Flash!!" "Ms. Luna, be happy!!" "Another beauty is off the market like this."
After the wedding ended, Luna threw the bouquet, and the female adventurers were stepping on each other, trying to catch the bouquet madly, which was a spectacle.
Like that, everyone enjoyed delicious food and alcohol, laughing and talking until night, and then went back to their homes.
The next day was the day Luna moved into our house, so it was a bit busy. We decided to have movers move the items and dispose of Luna's house. For the time being, since Luna was pregnant, she would just sleep quietly, so even with Kazuma and the others around, it didn't seem to be a problem.
After Luna's luggage was organized, Kazuma and the others, Yunyun, and Chris gathered to have a simple welcome party for Luna.
"Even though it's still the honeymoon, I wonder if strange noises are coming from Cassian's room or something."
Aqua looked at me and Luna and giggled, making strange sounds.
"That won't happen. It's dangerous because she's pregnant. So, by the way, don't you guys startle Luna or anything, it could lead to a miscarriage."
"I see. I'll be careful."
After a few days passed, Luna started having morning sickness and decided to take a break from guild work for a while. So I was taking care of her, and Kazuma visited.
"Cassian, we also got a mansion. Through the introduction of a mage named Wiz, we received a request, and as compensation, we can stay in the mansion."
"That's good news. Then I'll help you move."
"No, Luna is having a hard time lately, just stay. Our luggage isn't much anyway."
"Then I'll visit later."
"Sure."
Like in the original, Kazuma and the party became acquainted with Wiz and received a mansion request, gaining a base. Kazuma and the others packed and left, and the people left in the house were only Yunyun and Chris. But Chris was always wandering around and was hardly at home.
The next day, someone from the guild came.
"Mr. Cassian, the path of the Mobile Fortress Destroyer is unusual. So I request you. Can you predict its path? Of course, we will pay the reward carefully."
It seemed what was coming had finally come. The Mobile Fortress Destroyer is a giant spider-shaped robot made by a person from that country who came to this world long ago, and its destructiveness is one thing, but its defense is transcendental, so it's a tremendous thing that can even withstand Megumin's Explosion magic. Since I am the strongest in the town, they seemed to be requesting me.
"Good. I'll look into it."
Then Luna, who was listening nearby, said with a worried expression.
"Cassian, the Destroyer is really dangerous."
"Don't worry, I'm just going for reconnaissance. And now you should call me husband."
"Ugh... hu... husband..."
Luna said "husband" while being very shy. Since Luna is still newlywed, the word "husband" doesn't seem to stick well.
"Then, I'll be back soon. Take care of yourself."
"I understand."
This time, I left Yunyun behind and moved. The reason for that was because I planned to hack the Destroyer and use it myself. Moreover, securing the Destroyer's technology was also a factor. Frankly, with the technology I have now, I could make something similar, but since the Destroyer has new knowledge combining magic and machinery, I decided to get it.
I went outside the town and moved quickly to the Destroyer. The Destroyer was walking around in a terrain like the Grand Canyon, making mechanical sounds, and its moving route was Axel Town, same as in the original. In the original, with Kazuma and the others, Wiz, and all the town adventurers mobilized to protect the town, but that would destroy the Destroyer, so I had to deal with it here.
I immediately teleported inside the Destroyer. The Destroyer had a magic defense barrier, but since the teleportation I use is not magic, I could easily enter. As soon as I entered, the Destroyer's defense systems, golems, attacked, but I quickly cut and moved, reaching the control room where the creator's corpse was, and hacked the Destroyer.
Then the Destroyer stopped moving and stood still.
[Destroyer on standby. Next command.]
"Okay, done!"
After hacking and changing the command authority to me, I analyzed the engine coronatite in the Destroyer and found all the various data in the Destroyer, then put it in my inventory. But unfortunately, coronatite is a mineral formed by absorbing the energy of the ley lines underground for thousands of years, so while the mineral itself could be copied, the energy contained within could not be copied.
"A bit disappointing. Well, it can't be helped."
I commanded the Destroyer to patrol the surroundings and returned to the guild to receive the reward. Thus, I obtained a powerful weapon.
The next day, Luna's condition improved a lot, so with Yunyun and Chris, who came home after a long time, we went to visit the mansion that Kazuma got.
"Hey~ Kazuma, we're here."
"Oh~ come in!"
We looked around the house and toured it.
"You got a good mansion."
"Right? But at first, it was hard because of the ghosts."
"But it seems you handled it well."
"Yeah, with Aqua, it was easy to handle."
I handed Kazuma the orichalcum Japanese sword from my inventory.
"This is a housewarming gift. It's a sword made of the legendary metal orichalcum, so it won't be destroyed easily."
"That legendary metal orichalcum?"
"Yeah, I made it while making mine."
"I see! Thank you."
"And if you write a name on this talisman and attach it to the hilt, you can name this sword. Decide carefully and name it."
I handed Kazuma a talisman that allows naming items.
"I see, good! What should I name it? Hmm... Muramasa... Masamune? Kotesu... Kikuichimonji... No..."
While Kazuma was pondering, Megumin recommended a name.
"Chunchunmaru."
"Huh? What did you say?"
"I said Chunchunmaru. The name of this sword is Chunchunmaru."
Kazuma said incredulously.
"Can I attach such a strange name? As an otaku, a cool name... Huh?"
Kazuma was thinking of a cool name while looking at the sword, but on the hilt, the talisman with 'Chunchun Maru' written was already inscribed and turning to ash and disappearing. It seemed Megumin wrote Chunchun Maru on the talisman and quickly attached it.
"Uwaah!!!"
"From today, this sword is Chunchunmaru."
"What have you done!!! Ha... I'm going crazy. If by any chance I defeat the Demon King with this sword, it will be on a sign as the legendary hero with the holy sword Chunchunmaru and displayed in a museum!"
"I went to the trouble of giving it a cool name, what are you so不满 about?"
Kazuma and Megumin were bickering with each other. The sword is different, but Kazuma's sword became 'Chunchun Maru' same as in the original.
"Now now, stop the couple's quarrel."
Hearing my words, the two turned very red and shouted simultaneously.
"We're not a couple!!!""We're not a couple!!!"
