TL: Fire Spirit’s Sword(Salamander Sword) -> Fire Spirit’s Sword is translation of the kanji while Salamander sword is added by the author in the bracket in katakana. Maybe he wanted Fire Spirit’s Sword to be read as Salamander Sword?
====================================
“I got two very nice items today. I'll show you after dinner, now go and take a shower.”
Zeke spoke hurriedly in an excited fashion.
“Okay. Father.”
When Ike replied, I nodded and followed behind Ike.
After supper, Zeke pulled out a sword from his backpack which he always carries with him when he dives into the labyrinth.
The sheath of the sword was not flashy but it was beautifully decorated and there was a large red magic stone on the hilt of the sword. The blade boasted a beautiful silver colour.
“This is fire spirit’s sword (salamander sword). It seems to be a fire elemental sword. I had an appraiser check it out so I'm sure there's no mistake about it. Ike, this is the right sword for you as such I'm giving it to you. You must use it for justice alright.”
Ike sported a big smile on his face.
“Thank you. Father. I will become a fine man like you!”
So he said.
I appraised the fire spirit’s sword.
Name: Fire Spirit’s Sword (Salamander Sword)
Attack: 20
Special: Magic 2
Value: B
This is amazing.
No wonder Zeke and Maria came back so excitedly.
Incidentally, when I appraised a table or two around here.
Name: Table
Value: -
Were the details that only appeared.
Only rare items can be identified in detail, apparently.
It doesn't shame the word clairvoyance.
While Ike was being elated with the fire spirit’s sword, this time Maria said.
“Next is Mars. Look at this.”
After saying so, she took a book out of the rucksack.
It was an elementary holy magic grimoire.
“This is for you, Mars. Study it and learn it well.”
I was so surprised I did a guts-pose unwittingly.
“Thank you. I will work harder than ever.”
and received the elementary holy magic grimoire.
I practiced holy magic all that night, but I couldn't learn it.
Is it because my talent is only B that I can't learn it as well as wind magic?
Then Ike, who has a C talent in fire magic, must have worked very hard.
Thinking that must have been the case, I felt happy.
That it is more fun to work hard with everyone compared to being alone.
The next day when Zeke and Maria went to the labyrinth, we also did our usual daily routine.
Ike was practicing with his usual wooden sword, not the fire spirit’s sword he received yesterday.
“Brother Ike, why are you not using the fire spirit’s sword?”
When I asked so.
He replied “It still feels too early for me. Too much power is going to ruin me.”
Ike's answer was so dependable that I thought he was a reincarnated person too.
“As expected of brother. I too will try my best not to be too proud, following your example.”
I'll try my best to use holy magic too!
With that in mind, I tried to use holy magic, but to my surprise, my MP decreased by one on the first attempt.
Then, after chanting the beginner's holy magic cure(heal) many times, I grasped cure(heal) before lunch.
“Brother Ike! I can use cure(heal) now!”
When I said this to Ike, he looked happy.
“You did it. I scraped my knee while training earlier, try applying some cure(heal).”
“Yes, I understand. Cure(heal).”
The wound on Ike's knee then healed in the blink of an eye.
Ike looked very happy and gave me a fist bump.
Cure(heal) consumes 10 MP it is not yet known how much HP is recovered.
It would be best if I never had a chance to use it but that's definitely not the case.
I need to train myself to be able to activate the magic more smoothly.
Because magic takes time from the moment it was cast to the time it is activated.
My Wind activates with no time lag at all after I cast it but Ike's Fire takes about two seconds before it activates.
I heard that it takes even longer for intermediate magic and above.
After finishing the morning training and eating lunch, an incident occurred.
Zeke and Maria came back from the labyrinth with injuries.
Zeke and Maria's fighting style is iron defense.
They can dive into the labyrinth every day because they don't get injured but this is not the case for ordinary adventurers, so it is normal for others to rest for two or three days after diving into the dungeon.
“Father, mother! Are you alright?”
Ike ran up to them.
“We’ve had a bit of a screw-up. Sorry, but I need lots of wet towels.”
Zeke, who is on Maria's shoulder, spoke calmly.
“Sorry for worrying you. It's okay, just get us a towel please.”
Maria also replied gently.
In response, Ike immediately turned to leave to get the towels ready.
But I told Ike to wait a minute and I asked him to stay where he was and appraised Zeke and Maria.
Name: Zeke Bryant
Condition: Injury (Major)
HP: 10/48
Name: Maria Bryant
Condition: Injury (minor)
HP: 24/40
Apparently, Zeke was more seriously injured.
And I applied cure(heal) to the severely wounded Zeke.
“Cure(heal)."
Name: Zeke Bryant
Condition: Injury (minor)
HP: 25/48
One cure(heal) restored 15 HP.
So I thought that he would be fully recovered two more times.
“Cure(heal).”
“Cure(heal)."
So I chanted it twice.
Name: Zeke Bryant
Condition: Good
HP: 48/48
Zeke and Maria were very surprised to see the scene.
Not caring about that, I casted cure(heal) twice on Maria as well.
Name: Maria Bryant
Condition: Good
HP: 40/40
They both recovered their HP.
“How are you, Father and Mother? Are you still in any pain?”
I asked.
“... W-well, that really helped. Thank you.”
Zeke said, and Maria.
“Thank you! Looks like you can use cure(heal) now!”
She hugged me as she said happily.
After recovering, they went straight to the bathroom to wash off their fatigue and dirt.
Ike and I were relieved to see that.
That night a family meeting was held.
