Volume 10 Chapter 294

The Hero and the Item Creation

The next day, Akari was in the central square of the Aplistos capital. In the center of that plaza stood a massive statue.
It was a statue of Haruto, accompanied by the Spirit King of Wind, Sylph.
「It’s not my big bro…… right?」
Her brother had a different face.
Since it was a stone statue, details like eye color couldn’t be discerned, but the eyes of the young man depicted on the cover of the book given to Eric last night were a beautiful blue.
「Akari, what’s wrong?」
Seeing Akari’s disappointed expression as she gazed at the statue, Tet, worried, called out to her.
「Tet…… I was thinking if there’s a way for me to gain the power to meet my big brother in this world」
「Akari’s big brother?」
「Yeah. The person in this statue is named Haruto, just like my big brother. Haru-nii…… he died when I was five」
Akari was Haruto’s younger sister.
However, she hadn’t realized that the statue in front of her depicted her brother after being reincarnated.
She had received the skill from the Goddess, but she hadn’t mastered it like Cain.
「In the stories I read when I was in the original world, the protagonist who gained power in another world would sometimes save someone destined to die in the original world and bring them back」
It was all fiction from the light novels Haruto used to read, but since Akari was now in another world, it wouldn’t be strange if abilities like those in the stories existed.
「I want to meet Haru-nii one more time」
「You can」
「Eh?」
「Yes, you can」
「I-I can……?」
「Akari can meet her big brother again. Although Akari doesn’t have the time manipulation skill yet, there’s a skill in this world that can do that」
Of course, there is also interdimensional teleportation magic.
Haruto could already use it.
And as Tet said, there is also a skill to rewind time.
If she transferred to the original world and rewound time, Akari could meet Haruto again.
「Tet, is that…… true?」
「Yeah! Akari will acquire various skills from now on. I’m sure you’ll be able to meet your big brother. Tet will help you with that」
「Tet!!」
Akari hugged Tet tightly.
「Let’s do our best, Akari」
「Yeah…… yeah. I’ll do my best」
Akari’s faint hope of meeting her brother turned into a great hope with Tet’s words.

「First, I’m going to prepare to defeat the Demon Lord」
「Yeah, let’s do it!」
「To do that, first, I’ll make items to earn money. Along the way, I might gather information about the Demon Lord」
「That’s right. So, Akari, what are you planning to make?」
「Bracelets, necklaces, and maybe earrings」
Those were things Akari used to make as a hobby in her original world.
She would make them and have her parents sell them online, and everything she put up for sale would always sell out. That’s why Akari had confidence in being able to make things that others would buy.
「Alright, can you imagine the earrings Akari will make?」
「Imagine? You mean the shape and all?」
「Yeah. Imagine it as clearly as possible」
「O-Okay」
Although Akari didn’t really understand what Tet wanted her to do, she obediently followed along.
「Can you imagine it?」
「Yeah」
「Then, say『Create Arms』」
「C-Create Arms」
Akari’s hands sparkled.
And in her palm—
「Eh!?」
The earrings she had imagined appeared.
「Yeah, you did it. This is also one of Akari’s skills」
Akari had received the skill from the Goddess.
As long as she could imagine it, she could create any weapon or armor in her hand.
「N-No way. How is this……?」
「Do you think you can sell this?」
Akari could create equipment as much as she wanted without any costs or drawbacks.
Originally, was a skill used by gods. In addition, since it was a skill given by a goddess in this world who had more power than the gods here, Akari could create legendary equipment.
Since she could create any equipment she liked as much as she wanted, there was no need to buy equipment. Furthermore, she also had , so she didn’t even need recovery items.
In other words, she could skip most of the process of making items to earn money, buying equipment, and recovery items to challenge the Demon Lord.
However—
「It wouldn’t be right to just sell this as it is」
「Eh, why not?」
「You see…… For example, if I could change this stone into a gem found in this world, it might be okay」
Akari was serious.
She felt somehow guilty about making money by selling something she had obtained without any effort.
「I see! Then let’s go get some gems!」
And Tet, too, hadn’t realized yet that Akari could prepare to defeat the Demon Lord at any time.
「Tet, do you know where we can find gems?」
「Of course. Leave it to Tet!」
「I’m counting on you. Please guide me, Tet」
「Yeah!」

──＊＊＊──
Akari stopped by the guild and informed Eliza that she was going to collect items.
「Akari, be careful when you go deep into the forest near the capital because strong monsters come out there」
「Understood. Well then, here I go!」
After that, she picked up Tet, exchanged a few words with Eric, who was at the gate, and left the Aplistos capital.
