Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

They all knew by now that even though I was a pure magic archer, I knew a good bit of swordsmanship.

And they also had seen me fight with Carla so they knew I used my arrow/spear/sword Asta. When used as a sword, it was just like any normal rapier sword.

Asta can change the size so it made her a cute one that can be used for multiple things.

But even she can’t turn this much small just yet so, having something like this was really convenient.

I held the pin, channeled some Mana, and activated the skill of the accessory by saying its name.

“Form release.”

As soon as I said this, a small metallic silver light came out of the pin and the pin turned into an appropriate rapier-sized sword.

And just like the small version, this one was also spectacular looking.

The micro designs that were on the pin shaft of the small version were not on this big blade and the small Mana crystals that looked amazing were just some small decorative stones on this sword’s handles but this sword… definitely had a good feel.

This wasn’t the work of any master blacksmith but a work of a better-than-master-level craftsman.

“Good right? That thing took many of my nights. I know this one is more than good enough for the second place, right~!”

“This one is… just amazing, grandmother. I really~ loved this one!

Thank you. Really!

I’m an archer and many might just give me a bow but, to give this wonderful sword… unique, and something a true adventurer like you would do.

This is really as special as Anna’s gift but, yes… this is more than just amazing.”

I had a radiant expression and she shouted in excitement after seeing this genuine expression on me.

And we all laughed at this old grandma. She really was quite something.

‘It’s fabulous…’

‘Yes. Something I didn’t have.’

‘No way… really?’

‘Yup. Asta can’t shrink this much just yet. So this one is very useful. I can cut apples with this one anytime and anywhere~.’

‘…apples? Well… weird. My Eon, that was a bad joke.’

‘I know… that’s why no one laughed.’

‘Ptff… now this one was a joke.’

I sighed at her weak attempt to hold back her laughter and after the grandmother, it was her grandpa’s turn.

Not that something as exciting as this one happened after this.

They all had already known the game was over and the rankings were clear to all of them this time.

This was my first birthday with them so, they wanted to give me the best gift they could and after seeing all this excitement they had for me, I couldn’t help but vow to do my best on their birthdays.

Rein’s grandpa gave me a special book that had records of every herbal and agricultural product, land type and properties, the beasts and their natural habitats, and some ‘safe’ confidential things of the north.

And even though it was something I couldn’t possibly accept because of its astronomical value on the imperial scale, he insisted, saying it’s no big secret that I can’t find out on my own.

This would help me in some way or another, was what he said after forcefully making me put the book in my storage space and I was helpless as well as genuinely thankful for this one.

Data was always more valuable than any material thing and I can’t say this out loud so, we just moved on to the two other people’s gifts.

Rein’s mom and dad… .𝒄𝒐𝒎

They were also good people. Pure too, if I said so.

His dad, one of the greatest musicians of the continent, gave me a recording artifact of very excellent quality, filled with many of his music records and some special ones that not many knew about.

This was also something invaluable to me as I just loved his music and if he didn’t give me this one today, I would have just requested something similar like this.

But thankfully, this was a wonderful gift and I loooooooved it as much as every other gift.

And lastly, her mom gave me something special.

Something just as invaluable as every other gift and something that I might actually use at many places.

A golden ID card, not the normal ones used for identification of one’s origin and nationality or something that at least showed their affiliation to a prominent corporation like an adventurer’s association.

Rein’s mom is the manager of one of the most famous people on the continent and someone famous throughout the world for Rein’s dad’s music and talent.

And being the manager of such a person was naturally a super difficult task.

Not only it was tiring, but it also required talent, a proper industrial mindset, and tenacity.

People called her (Sky’s handler). One of the most reliable managers of the continent.

She had connections in every industry in the entertainment line one can think of.

She was second only to my mom in terms of connections, information handling, and human resource management, and if one wanted someone to manage something on a super grand scale, then she was one of the people others would think of.

And she just gave me an unnamed golden ID card that was associated with the world music association, [Melody].

It wasn’t something that was accepted everywhere like an adventurer’s license but in some places where you couldn’t go to even while being a high-class adventurer, like some high-class theater, this golden ID can at least give me noble-like access.

Getting these blank IDs was difficult. Too difficult actually.

Even my mom might have to wait for a while if she wanted something like this.

Even Rein didn’t have this one. Not that she needed it.

The value of her purple ID, the one that identified her as the direct maid of the house of Atraxia, was far more in the entertainment industry than even this golden ID.

Who wouldn’t want to form any kind of connection with someone who directly served a world-class musician and manager?

So, this golden blank ID… was something that will be genuinely useful.

Maybe even more than the sword, but I still showed the same excitement as her time. If this old grandma gets sad because her gift was comparatively just ‘good’, I would also feel bad.

The sword was amazing alright. No need to show any different excitement over something I didn’t even need anytime soon.

So… that was the gifting party at Rein’s home.

We had fun there. With all those fun talks and a good story of how Rein’s parents met. It was a good morning.

And after that, as we had already familiarized ourselves with, we went back to the capital through the underground warp gate after our warm goodbyes.

We all were excited. And my excitement was even more than all three of these beautiful ladies combined.

But… different from what we all had imagined, when we walked out of the warp gate in our garden in the capital’s house, there was no one there to greet us aside from grandpa Zhen.

And even he… had a tough look on his face.
