Chapter 2: Part 5

“I suppose this means I guessed right?”

Shin had followed Raig in a private room, with Tiera and Milt in tow, then asked this question.

“My apologies, Sir Shin, but I would like you to speak first. As I said before, the items used in the 『World Rift Wall』 project are a military secret. One of utmost secrecy.”

The information about the plan and the items themselves were guarded very closely, to prevent ill-intentioned people from stealing them.

There were also several disputes within the empire concerning the creator of the items in the first stage of the project, so the creator’s identity was kept hidden to protect the people related to them from harm.

The creator was a nobody at the time, so they used their name for the project’s name too at first.

“The items’ creator is Barakia Wallcraft. In current terms, you’d call him a Chosen One. He was a blacksmith and alchemist, someone very passionate about building walls. His favorite words were ‘Parapets are the best thing ever’. That’s the Barakia I know. The items used for the 『World Rift Project』 are powered up versions of that item, maybe?”

Shin pointed to the item card in Raig’s hands. Since this world offered more freedom than the game, it wasn’t strange for Barakia to have become able to create such items.

“…to be able to figure out so much…Sir Shin, are you related to Sir Barakia?”

Raig did not answer directly and asked another question, but implicitly answered Shin’s question in the process.

“Well, we’ve done some things together.”

In the game era, blacksmiths exchanged information and critiqued each other’s works.

Barakia was a victim of a monster attack on a Home Town.

“That man was really passionate, but in a pretty strange way…the same type as Shin.”

“Oi Milt, don’t call me weird so naturally.”

“You were pretty high on the weird scale at that time, you know? Birds of a feather is what pretty much everyone said.”

“What…did you…just…?”

Shin was not aware at all.

“You’ve done things together, you say.,.I thought you had heard about him from Sir Shibaid. What exactly do you mean by ‘doing things together’? Barakia died more than 200 years ago…hmm, also considering what Lady Milt said…I thought you were a High Human, but apparently, you are a long-living species instead. A Lord or a Pixie, maybe?”

Raig heard from Barakia about where he used to live and what he used to do in the past, so while surprised he asked for more details, a serious look on his face.

Shin didn’t know what Barakia had been up to after coming to this world, so he thought that the Barakia he knew was different from the one Raig knew, but, apparently, that was not the case.

“I’ll leave that to your imagination. About the item, I pretty much know how it is made, so I believe I can work on it.”

Things would get complicated if they started talking about his species, so Shin changed the topic.

“This is not the right time to talk about that, is it? In any case, I would never have expected you to know him personally…that was rather surprising.
