Brilliant Summer - The Gáe Bolg Craftsman is an Early Riser -

...Hmm.

Is this the ash tree you planted? Is something the matter?

Well, just wait a bit. Let's try to make a new spear with it.

A spear...?

Gáe Bolg was made from the bones of a sea monster. It would be difficult to replicate that on this island.

But I can make something that's extremely similar using the power of my runes.

With this ash tree?

Ash trees are descendants of the Norse world tree, Yggdrasil. And Yggdrasil is where the runes themselves come from.

So if I borrow as much power as possible from this ash tree, then use my runes...

You'll have more Gáe Bolgs?

Exactly! One spear per ash tree!

Even from a non-crafter like myself, they should still be formidable. Enough to withstand the strain as a Noble Phantasm.

Does that mean...?

That's right. An increase in Noble Phantasm strength.

...Anyway, I'll be pouring my heart and soul into this work, and in the meantime, I'd like you guys to stand guard.

Uh, stand guard?

I'll be crafting this spear all day and all night. The latter is most likely when those demon boars will show up.

I'm counting on you guys!

...She just left us here!

Fou!

I guess we don't have a choice. Let's spend the day here, Master.

I hope no demon boars come to attack us.

...

Here's one now! As expected!

？！

...

A Shadow Servant has shown up, too!

？！

Grrrr...grrrarrrrr... (snort, snort)

And a giant demon boar, too!

？！

Yes! It turned out great!

I-I'm glad to hear it...

Hey, Mash. Why do you look so tired?

While we were standing guard, we were attacked by endless waves of enemies...

You look like you can barely stay awake, Fujimaru. Your head's swaying back and forth like a floppy puppet.

Senpai, Senpai. We're done. Let's go home.

？！

Hold my hand. Can you walk? Should I carry you?

Fou!

It must've been hard to fight all day and night. Cut them some slack, Fou.

Foou...

Once we take a break at our base, it's off to the next ash tree!

What? There are more?

Correct. Three more. And once again, a full day and night for each one.

I'm counting on you!

？！

Master, wake up! Master! Master!
