Overgeared

Chapter 1809

“It looks like there is star candy on it...”

This was the sentiment of Peak Sword. It was while looking at Mercedes’ mace, ‘Innocent,’ which had beautiful thorns that looked like snow crystals.

Mercedes cocked her head. Her hair flowed over her collarbone and caught people’s attention. Somehow, she looked even more beautiful. She had entered her mental world with just Grid, so people wondered if it was the power of love.

“What is star candy?” Regas asked on behalf of Mercedes.

Peak Sword shrugged. “People who aren’t Korean citizens might not know. It is a delicacy among the biscuits supplied to the army. It is star-shaped candy made by melting sugar. It is one of the secrets to making the nation rich and its army powerful. It is a traditional treat that boosts the morale of Korean soldiers.”

“Traditional? Isn’t Japan the origin of star candy?”

“...What? Lauel, you have immigrated to Korea, but you are pro-Japanese? If you have to bring up the origin for no reason, Portugal is the origin, not Japan!”

“No, what...”

He was a light novel author, so why did he overreact every time the word Japan was mentioned?

‘Is he worried that the Korean Patriotic Association will be ruined if it is found out that he likes Japan?’

The Korean Patriotic Association—originally, it was just a small gathering, like a group of elderly people in a rural town. It was more like Peak Sword’s business card without any public credibility. Then as Satisfy’s popularity kept growing and Peak Sword became a ranker, the association’s recognition also rose. Once Peak Sword joined the Overgeared Guild, it became one of the representative groups of South Korea. The responsibility of the president, Peak Sword, was also quite heavy...

‘Why was the association created in the first place?’ Lauel suddenly became curious, but he didn’t bother to ask questions. He was a rational and reasonable person, and wouldn’t waste his energy on worthless things.

“Anyway... once you check Sariel’s mental world, will the exclusive weapons for the apostles be finished?”

“Yes, I will climb the tower after meeting Sariel.”

“Why am I ignored?”

A small head rose between Grid and Lauel as they chatted. It was Nefelina, the daughter of the Insane Dragon. She was polymorphed into the figure of a girl as usual and her cheeks were puffed up like balloons.

“Why aren’t you making my weapon?”

“Huh...? Of course it is because... you don’t use weapons, right?”

Grid thought of Nefelina as more of a vehicle. She was just a means to activate the Dragon Knight abilities and he had no intention of putting her on the front lines. The problem was that the level of the enemies Grid had to deal with was too high. As a hatchling, Nefelina was naturally awakened to providence and was often intimidated by the enemies Grid fought. Even if Grid pushed her to fight, she would ignore it and hide. What type of weapon could he make for her?

‘It is a waste of resources.’

Of course, Nefelina also had times when she fought directly. She helped using magic and Dragon Words, but it was only once in a while. Yes, she didn’t need any weapons.

“In the first place, you don’t have a mental world, right?”

In fact, dragons didn’t need a mental world. They were a creature that made whatever they said a reality. There was no need to wish for a miracle. They could do it themselves. There was no reason for their conscious and subconscious to be separated.

Nefelina’s sulky face brightened like what just happened was a lie. She was glad to know that Grid wasn’t neglecting her out of indifference, but because he knew her
