I'm in Otome World, Really?

Chapter 7 - Broken Family (part 1)

A/N : And... A new guy appears! This is longer than previous chapters, so I hope you enjoy it! I will show what he looks like in the next chapter (I have drawn him before, even before I drew Nicho and Luna).

---

I had been searching about how to make sword until recently. But, I didn't know how to make it at all. So, I tried finding the materials which I could use to make a sword. Since this is a country of magic, perhaps I can find a special material of magic-resistant.

I had asked Nicho and O.W.H about the sword. O.W.H helped me a bit by giving me some information about making a real sword and tell me about the sword technique. He really knows almost everything, huh? And, about Nicho... he said he didn't know much about weapons since he rarely used magic staff, but he told me that if I want to know about how to make a weapon, I should just ask a magistaffer which perhaps can be found around a magic market (a kind of market that I went on the first day).

At first, I was confused about what he meant by this magistaffer. So, I asked, and it seems that magistaffer is a person who makes magic staffs and sells them somewhere in a magic market. Since people in this world don't have any weapon other than magic staffs, they don't know about blacksmith. Other beings don't use weapon to fight because they could fight with their own power, like half human-monsters and vampires. But for humans, they couldn't even fight and don't have any weapon. Wizards only use magic staff to strengthen their magic when they want to use a certain magic, because they could even use magic without magic staff.

After explaining that, he also gave me a bit of information about this magic-resistant material which I didn't even know it actually exists.

This magic-resistant material is very rare and just few people who know about it. It can be found near to the boundary between Wizania and Monse. The only information I know about this material is that it is somewhere in the forest near to the boundary between Wizania and Monse, precisely it is near to the gate, but it is still very hard to find it. In addition, only 10 or 15 people in the world who manage to find it each year.

If you ask where is the gate between the two countries, if you keep going straight and following the only one road in the middle of the forest, later you can see a very big gate that connect between two countries, and of course it is heavily guarded and it is not easy to enter and exit the country whenever you want without troublesome conditions and letters.

Nicho said it was the only information he had since he had never searched for the detail of magic materials before since he was not a magistaffer. But, he still had an information about it. As expected of high-ranked noble and wizard...

So, today I went out to the magic market again secretly without Nicho knowing, hoping I wouldn't meet those kind of wizards when the first day I was in this world.

I walked through the crowded people and visited almost all of material and weapon shops. I had bought some things that I thought were unique and can be used to make sword. Of course I bought them with money I received from the high-ranked wizards who helped O.W.H to make this game.

When I decided to go back to home, the bright blue sky became darker and cloudy, and a few minutes later, it started to rain.

I ran to a place where I could take shelter from the rain. When I managed to find a place in front of a shop, I let out a sigh and looked at my already wet dress. Although it was borrowed...

*hiks hiks*

All of sudden, I heard a voice of a woman crying and muttering something with hoarse voice (although I didn't actually hear what she was muttering). I was looking at the ground at that time, then when I heard the voice, I quickly looked to the front, looking at a woman who sat down on the roadside while leaning against the wall of one of the material shops.
