I Became the Handyman That the Heroines Are Obsessed With

Episode 12 – Accompanying Serin Ekatos (4)

For Serin Ekatos, the sword Diamantra was an object that had more meaning than just a weapon.

Numerous craftsmen make many weapons under their own name, but among them, there are only a few swords that are well-made enough to be called famous swords.

Only when the few swords are chosen by their owner and are active in numerous battlefields can they finally receive the title of famous sword.

In other words, even if someone chooses a sword, if the owner falls without being able to play an active role on the battlefield, it will not be a famous sword but just a high-quality sword.

In that sense, the Diamant was truly a weapon worthy of being called a famous sword.

The owner of Diamant was the ‘hero’ Count Delon Ekatos, the paternal grandfather of Serin Ekatos and the ancestral head of the Ekatos family.

Count Delon Ekatos made a great contribution to eradicating the treasonous cabal by defeating the swordsman from the fallen nobles who was the instigator and leader of the treason plot incident of the fallen nobles that occurred 50 years ago.

Thus, the emperor of the Gelevrio Empire officially gave Delon Ekatos the title of ‘Hero’ and at the same time issued an official statement acknowledging his sword, Diamant, as the ‘famous sword’ of the Gelevrio Empire.

Therefore, for Serine Ekatos, the Diamant was a sword and keepsake used by her grandfather, the pride of her family, and it was her treasure.

She always treated her diamond with care.

I wiped the blade with an oiled cloth every day to prevent it from rusting, and the scabbard that holds the diamond was affixed with various preservation magics, so even if I did not maintain the diamond for a day or two, the blade would not be damaged.

The thing she cared about more than herself was Diamant…….

“Well, the diamant… ….”

While trying to protect her man, Pathos, who had been assigned as an escort at Justin’s request, he was torn in two.

Serine was shocked to see the diamant broken in two.

Diamant was an inheritance passed down to her by her proud son, Count Delon Ekatos.

Since she grew up listening to her grandfather’s sagas from a young age, the diamond was a precious treasure that she cared for and maintained every day.

Serin hugged this sword when she slept, and she never took it away from her body, even when she was eating or going out to do her grocery shopping.

Even when she went to wash her body, she would take her diamond with her, and Serin’s love for her sword was recognized by anyone who knew her.

Her nickname in the Oak Tree Village was ‘Her Sword Lover.’

To that extent, Diamant was an inseparable companion in Serin’s life.

“Oh, no! No! “Diamant, diamant!”

So, when Serin saw that the diamant was broken, tears began to form in the corners of Serin’s eyes.

“Hey… Serin…… ?”

However, Serin, who was looking at Diamant with eyes that looked like she was about to cry, turned her head when she heard a man’s voice coming from behind her and looked at the man who spoke to her.

It was a man named Pathos, with black hair and black eyes, and the appearance of a typical Eastern Continent person.

He was also the one who, at Justine’s request, took on her role as an escort.

“…… Why.”

Serine’s voice looked like she was about to burst into tears as she looked at the pathos.

Because she is a human being, at first she resented Justin and her man named Pathos.

He resented Justin, asking, ‘Why did he ruin the sword by giving him this mission?’

And he complained to Pathos, asking, ‘Why did he show up in the village when I was there and ask for an escort?’

But she suppressed her anger and stopped complaining.

In the first place, what Justin sent was a request for cooperation, not an order.

She decided that if she didn’t want to be his escort, she could just hand the job over to someone else.

However, she became curious about a man named Pathos who had shown strange abilities at the inn, so she accepted his escort.

In other words, it was Serin herself who knew better than anyone else that everything happened because of her choice.

It was unfair and I felt resentful towards the two people, but she was not someone who had just gained social experience, but a veteran of veterans who had worked as a mercenary for more than a few years.

So she was barely able to suppress her emotions and not reveal her feelings of resentment to Pathos.

What is he really trying to say? Her sword broke while trying to defend herself, but is she grateful for it?

A thousand thoughts were running around in Serin’s head.

But the words that actually came out of Pathos’ mouth were something she had not expected at all.

“I think my sword broke while protecting me. Could it be possible for me to fix it?”

That was because Pathos was saying that he would fix Serin’s broken sword, Diamant.

◈◇◈◇◈◇◈◇◈◇◈

I approached Serin, who was crying.

As I said, I targeted the golem’s weak spot and attacked it, but because of that, Serin’s sword was broken in two.

Her weapon is not even just an ordinary sword, but the Diamant, which is called a famous sword.

It was probably the most precious item to her, but I couldn’t even imagine how much of a loss Serin would feel from the fact that it was broken.

Therefore, there is only one thing I can do for her who broke her sword while protecting me.

“I think my sword broke while protecting me. Could it be possible for me to fix it?”

That was to fix Serin’s broken sword, Diamant.

I had already tested my ability using other objects, so I already knew that it also applied to objects such as swords.

Isn’t the dagger in the sack I’m carrying right now also missing part of its blade?

But now, the dagger has returned with an intact blade, as if it were newly made.

In other words, if I used my ability on the broken diamant, it could be restored to its original state.

It wasn’t a possibility, it was a certainty.

Looking at the broken diamant, can I fix it myself? When I asked myself this question, I felt strongly confident that I would succeed without fail.

“The sword… I can fix it…… ?”

Serin asked a question in response to my suggestion in a tearful voice.

“Of course. I told you. My abilities… “It’s the ability to fix anything.”

I picked up the diamond that fell in front of Serin and placed it on the rock that held her golem’s body.

The shape of the rock was flat and wide, making it perfect for placing something on it and hitting it with a hammer.

I unzipped the bag and took out the hammer from inside.

My tool that made the soft and chewy bread that filled my hungry stomach earlier.

And it was also a tool that made the things I owned look like new.

I held the hammer with my right hand and the broken diamant with my left hand.

Serin’s eyes were focused on the diamant I was holding in her left hand.

When I saw that, I hit the hammer hard at the diamant.

―Bang!

As the diamond and hammer collided, the dull, heavy metal sound characteristic of a broken sword rang out.

―Kang!

When the hammer struck the diamant the second time, the metal sound became a little clearer.

―Kang!

When I finally swung the hammer and hit the diamant, a clear and beautiful metallic sound was heard, and the diamant, split in two, was engulfed in a faint halo of light.

Then, the part of the blade that was lying on the rock flew into the broken part of the diamant and stuck to it.

After a while, the faint light completely disappeared and the broken sword was no longer there.

“Da, Da Da, Diamant…… ?”

What I was holding in my left hand right now was the Diamant, Serin’s special weapon and her favorite sword.

The diamant in my hand had returned to its original state before it was broken.

When I lifted the sword and checked it, all the small scratches that had occurred over many hours had disappeared.

Diamant’s blade was so shiny that I could see my face through it.

When I lightly hit the blade with a hammer, a clear sound rang out, so it appears that the diamant repair was completed successfully.

I approached Serin and held out the diamant she was holding in her left hand.

“Now, Serin. “Diamant repairs are complete.”

When I held out the diamant, Serin carefully accepted it.

Then, I could clearly see that her face, which looked like she was about to cry, lost its sad expression and little by little her life returned.

Serin stood up from her seat, took her stance, and swung her sword.

After swinging her sword a few times, she put the diamond in her sheath and came towards me.

“Pathos! “Are you interested in our family?”

Then he suddenly grabbed my hand and started saying something I couldn’t understand.
