Isekai Journey Of The Magic Archer

She took out a smaller box than Anna.

This box... definitely looked better than hers though.

There was a proud expression on her pretty face, just like Anna. And she was confident in her gift.

She was probably one of the most competitive ones in this family and even though she couldn't get first place, her eyes screamed that the second place is just made for her.

She was more like a child right now, instead of the wise 'sorceress of metals' she is praised as.

It was fine though, it was a cute expression.

The box in her hand was dark purple, a royal purple covered with golden patterns that screamed of containing something very costly.

The bird wing-shaped lock of this box looked very well made and just the value of this box was in some gold coins from my understanding.

But the box wasn't the gift, it was the thing inside it…

And we all knew it, so, she just handed the box to me without much speaking and I gulped a mouthful of saliva at the thought of what this could be.

She was a master craftsman, someone who had created some of the very famous pieces of accessories.

And this small box could be nothing but some small accessory.

Maybe a ring? That was the most likely thing to store in a good box like this one.

I was excited and not because this would be something extraordinary. Well, no…

I already had some out-of-the-norm accessories that will help me in the future and they were made by my master so there was no need to even think about the craftsmanship and powers of those things but... this one would be special.

My very first gifted accessory from someone, something I would love to cherish for a long time.

So, with anticipation-filled eyes, I prepared myself and opened the box, and everyone glued their eyes to the small box.

And just as we thought...

"Wow... grandmother.

I didn't think about this one.

But wow... actually. This is quite good?"

She could feel the surprise and everyone else was the same.

In the small hand-size ring box a pin was laying on a beautiful blue pillow.

A beautiful silver suit brooch pin.

It had a pointed sharp thin tip with beautiful micro carvings.

And they looked too precise and professional and so amazing that I genuinely thought they were made by 'laser mechanics'.

But the beautiful patterns on this thing were even greater than that.

One end of this pin was a sharp tip while the other end was the essential part of this one.

A finely made silver crown covered with beautiful colorful small jewels.

This crown-like design looked spectacular and so was the special-looking jewels on it.

This crown... I didn't know what but it looked like the handle of some sword while looking thoroughly with my eyes.

I used the long-range vision of my red eyes, and looked at the wonderful structure of the craftsmanship of this thing and couldn't help but wonder just how great this accessory was.

I actually understood the efforts and feelings put behind this spectacular pin as a fellow 'creator' and… I didn't actually have anything like this one.

Yes, I had a lot of rings and stuff from the artifact room of our tower but not a pin brooch like this one.

The craftsmanship of this thing was amazing.

The pin itself couldn't be a normal accessory either.

The sharp tip of the pin reminded me of a finely forged rapier and by looking with my blue eyes... I was even more surprised by its information.

'Three eyes...'

============

[Arina's gifted pin] ★★☆

---> A fine piece of accessory made from fine alloys of different normal ores and magic iron.

---> The tiny jewels used in the sword are Mana crystals and just the fact that they used that many Mana crystals show the creator's desire to make this thing exceptional.

---> Naturally, as you might have already thought, this one has the skill [Form release] that turns the pin into a fine sword.

---> The Mana crystals used in this one are mid-low quality. Something definitely amazing.

---> The crafting of the blade itself is nothing less than a master blacksmith's work and in terms of artifacts, though this would just be a normal (level-6) sword, when used with its innate magic amplification, it can be used as a good magic sword that can rival (level-9) artifact sword.

---> The harmony of metals used in this one is amazing. And the resulting alloy is two times stronger than magic iron.

---> Today is a special day for you so have a nice day. And don't foolishly forget to thank this great lady who made this fabulous and amazing thing.

'No way you just gave this stars... really? That good...?'

Now, there was even more need to use this pin sword for normal uses.

This bastard skill of mine rarely gave stars to things others made and I had tested it all of the time I have been here.

From the time I had obtained this little baby-like skill, it had always only given stars to the things that were more than just outstanding.

Even many of my own creations sometimes didn't get any stars.

And the things that do get the stars are just that much exceptionally good~!

Back when I checked the blade Carla used, the red blade during our first fight, the finely made (level-11) artifact, it deemed it unworthy of any stars.

And most of my master's things are beyond its comprehension for now so it rarely had any stars for the things my master made.

The highest I had seen from this little one was six full status and the thing that it gave those six stars is the golden fruit pendant I am wearing.

Aside from that, even the standards for a five-star thing are too high for it.

I don't know on what criteria this little skill of mine gives these stars but if it gave this gifted pin stars then it meant this was just that good.

Even the chocolates from the branch manager sir Lucius were three and a half stars in this one's opinion.

And if these precious stars that even a (level-11) finely crafted weapon couldn't get were given to this normal magic rapier sword, there was no way this one was something ordinary.

Taking out this small pin and holding it with my two fingers, I turned around to the other side of the room.

Anna was sitting with me… obviously. She might get hurt if not careful with this sharp blade.

So, I just turned around and the beautiful grandma was pleased to see how casually I caught onto her creation's functions.

And Rein knew about this too.

She had seen the information about this special needle pin brooch and a similar excited expression was on her face too.

Her grandpa probably also knew about this one so, there was a happy smile on his face. He didn't have as much competitive spirit as her and that balanced the two of them.

They were cute and I really liked them but, right now, this sword was the topic.
