Overgeared

It was almost a command.

“Have you lost your senses? No, in the first place, why are you after a snack? Don’t you eat monster or human souls?”

“That is food! Snacks are snacks, nyang!”

“What jerk gave you the concept of snacks…?”

“Your wife! Nyang!”

“…”

Setting aside where he learnt the word ‘wife,’ he was talking about Irene.

‘I heard that Irene has a hobby of baking cake these days.’

Irene was the daughter of an earl, so she never learned how to cook.
Now after coming to Reidan, she wanted to learn how to cook and bake, so that she could give Grid a little joy.
Thanks to her, the Overgeared members and the soldiers were able to enjoy sweet snacks.
Noe seemed to have been added as well.

“Sigh, okay.
Take a nap and don’t interfere with my work.”

Grid decided to ignore Noe and started thinking again about what to make with the pavranium.

‘An item that can highlight the advantage of moving on its own…’

“Teddy bear.”

“…A teddy bear is good… Ah, you.”

Grid frowned.
Teddy bear? Who was interfering this time? The incensed Grid turned towards the owner of the voice.
It was Randy, who was in the appearance of a little girl.

“I received a teddy bear from Irene!”

Randy was pure and cute as she extended the bear.
Grid nodded roughly towards the child.

“Okay.
Go and play with the teddy bear.”

“Yes!”

Randy smiled and went next to Noe to play with the bear.
But her playing didn’t last long.
Noe teased Randy by repeatedly batting at the teddy bear.

“…I’m going crazy.”

Randy started crying while Noe laughed, interrupting Grid’s meditation time.
So he kicked them out.
Then he wondered again.

‘The item I should make out of pavranium…’

“Please make farming equipment.”

“…The answer is farming equipment… Hah.”

Grid’s face distorted like a demon.
Farming equipment? This time, someone was pouring cold water on him! The owner of the voice was Piaro.
Piaro was wearing dirt-stained clothing.
Grid could no longer overlook it.

“Piaro, what is your job?”

“I am the leader of the Overgeared Knights Division, commander of Reidan, and a farmer.”

“Isn’t there something strange in there?”

“No.”

Grid couldn’t understand it at all.

“Why on earth do you keep clinging to being a farmer? Are you doing your duties as knight captain and commander of Reidan?”

“Yes.”

Piaro answered without hesitation.
He felt pride in his responsibilities.

“Then I’m glad.
But what about your goal of becoming a sword saint? If you don’t have time due to your duties, isn’t it better to quit farming and practice your swordsmanship?”

[A legendary farmer has been born!]

The main character of the notification window that all users in Satisfy saw wasn’t Piaro.
Grid was certain, but he couldn’t help feeling nervous.
In this case, his uneasy feeling was proven correct.

“I realized that I am a farmer, not a sword saint.”

“…”

Grid was no longer a fool.
Piaro was faithful to his role as a farmer.
It was rumored that the seven guilds’ invasion of Reidan was repelled by farmers.
The users doing field work, and so on.
All of these things attested to the fact that Piaro was the legendary farmer.

Grid just didn’t want to admit it.

Sword Saint Muller.
Grid hoped that Piaro’s strength would be recognized as the strongest among the legends.

“…Is it because your talent isn’t enough to pursue the peak of swordsmanship? In the end, you gave up and became a farmer.”

Grid couldn’t hide his anger as he tried to provoke Piaro.

“…”

Piaro knew the role that Grid wanted for him.
He knew the sense of loss that Grid would be feeling.
Piaro was determined to prove himself to Grid.
He would prove that he was superior compared to when he was a great swordsman.

“Farming is the foundation of our lives and it is more valuable than anything else in the world.
I just chose a more valuable path.”

“It is possible for women to harvest the crops.
You aren’t the only one who can do farming.”

“However, I’m the only one who can master it.”

“Why do you need to master farming? Ah, to create a good harvest? It is very minor.
If you have power, you can occupy more territory.
Then there would be more people and we can secure a large amount of food using it.
It is much more profitable to develop the armed forces to aim for more land.”

“Mastering farming isn’t merely raising crops.
I can exert more power if I have an understanding of nature.
I can confident that I am necessary for My Lord.”

“Really? Then prove it.
What type of power can a farmer exert?”

This was what Piaro wanted.
He had been wanting this situation since he asked for farming equipment.

‘I must be acknowledged by My Lord.’

He would let Grid know the greatness of a farmer.
Piaro took out his hand plow and plow, while Grid armed himself with Failure and Grid’s Greatsword.

“I will return you to your original form.
Your hands are meant to hold a sword, not dirt-stained farming equipment!”

At present, Piaro wasn’t sane.
Grid had to return him to the right path.
Grid put on the Slaughterer’s Eye Patch and used Blacksmith’s Rage to overpower Piaro.
Piaro made a sad expression.

‘His talent is weak compared to Kraugel and Chris.’

Grid made great strides after defeating Pagma’s Doppelganger, but his lord was fundamentally unskilled.
It was unlikely that his growth had continued since then.

‘You might be poisoned with frustration after losing, but I believe that you can overcome this poison as usual.’

Piaro would first relieve his burden by proving his value.
Piaro judged and blocked the blue greatsword Grid was swinging, then counterattacked while avoiding a dark blue greatsword.
In his head, Grid had already collapsed.

But what was Grid’s specialty? It was the power to overcome common sense and destroy predictions.

Chaaeng!

“…!”

As soon as the blue greatsword and hand plow collided, Piaro’s eyes widened.
