614 Episode 614: Eccentric Improvement Plan.txt




 The presentation of the new equipment to the adventurers and the knights of the Golden Fang has gone off without a hitch, and I decide to clean up the mess for now.

 The borrowed desks and chairs are cleaned, and the prototypes we brought in are tightly tucked away in a transport container, ready to be pulled up at any time.

 Then, after taking a breath, Noir opens his mouth with a look of profound relief.

It's ...... good to know that ...... what to do if you are going to be ...... dead ......
''I thought eighty percent of it would pass, but now it's a relief. Aside from the adventurers, I didn't have a clue how the Golden Fang Knights would react to it.

 From my experience so far, I was confident that the Adventurer's Guild would agree to this plan.

 It wasn't because of how they were adventurers, but because many of them had been friends for a long time, so the decision was made from the perspective that they would think this way.

''Now if only we can get permission to increase Mithril's production successfully. The spike in costs is mostly due to Mithril.
I'm sure ...... will be fine, I think ...... is such a big deal. )...... what, so ......
'Oh, yes. I'm sure His Majesty would make a proper decision.

 In the Demon King's War, there was no pressure to supply mithril beyond the prescribed amount, but this time it seems unlikely that this will be the case.

 If the remnants of the ancient magical civilization that is active in the dark as a criminal organization on earth - and they possess a warfare force that surpasses even the Demon King's Army, the Royal Palace will not make a coherent decision that is bound by principles.

 It's not within the scope of what we can do about this area, we can only wait for a response from the royal court, so there's no point in worrying about it.

 Anyway, we have done what we need to do for today.

 I've adjusted it so that I don't even have to return to the main office, so I'm thinking about killing time at the branch ...... for a while, when Alexia brought some kind of box on the table that I don't remember bringing in.

'Alright. Luke, do you have a moment of your time? I just finished a prototype of the prosthetic hand you ordered for me, so I'd like you to try it out for now.
'You're done? I don't know how you've managed to find the time to be so busy these days.
'The special armor was basically done by me, but this one was mainly finished by another crafty engineer. Of course, I checked them, so you can rest assured of the quality.

 Alexia opens the box that contains her new prosthetic hand.

 Its contents were a prosthetic arm with a similar appearance to the one she is using now.

I've tried to keep the appearance and feel, and the weight as similar as possible. The main thing that has changed is the contents. Originally, it was designed to house a loaded weapon, but it was made to special specifications for Luke-kun.

 While explaining the specifications of the prototype, Alexia grabbed the outside of the prosthetic hand's forearm and removed the cover as she removed the lid.

 The internal structure from the wrist to the elbow is exposed.

 There were no complicated mechanical parts there at all, just a container with about half the volume of the arm hollowed out.

''We are still researching the planted weapons, but as it stands, we can't take it to a level where it would be useful in a fight against Agart Ram. It was originally intended to be a hidden weapon for anti-personnel use, so it's only natural.

 Alexia took some more parts from the case that held the prosthetic hand and laid them out on the table.

 A metal tube about the thickness of her thumb and about the length of her middle finger, or should I say a metal tube?

 There are about six such alternatives, and one tube that is one size larger.

 I'm not sure how many of these parts are used in ordinary weapons, just enough to fit into the cavity of a prosthetic hand.

This ...... is ...... what ......?

 Noir peered at the table curiously.

 He's staring down at the unidentified tubular parts, busily moving them out of the way with his hands, as if their drooping bangs are in the way.

 It's not Alexia that should be explaining this place, but me, the originator, myself.

 As expected, if you leave this kind of thing to me, the manager will have no choice but to stand, no matter how much.

I'm sure you've heard that I learned how to use the medallion in the previous mock battle. Just doing the same as Garnett was a struggle, and on top of that, if you further draw out the bottom power of the [Restoration] and [Right Eye], you won't be able to endure a moment .......
"...... Oh, oh, ...... so ...... prosthetic hand, medallions ...... [composite] ...... and produce ...... ice, ...... shields, swords, and swords in the material ......
These guys are prepared to make it easier to do that.

 I pick up one of the tubes and open the lid.

The more base materials you have, the easier it is to do. But it's too much trouble to carry around the actual thing each time, or to get it from those guys around here, right? So I'll put a piece of equipment that I've [disassembled] into powder form beforehand into a tube, and I'll plant it inside my prosthetic hand.

 As I verbally explained to Noir, I made a gesture to put it inside the tube with the lid removed and locked it by pressing it against the fixture inside the prosthetic (Uzi).

''The contents of this tube wears out a little bit each time it's [generated] ...... or rather, it's taken inside the block of ice it creates outside, so if you think that you can use it at least ten times in one refill, that's how big it's gotten.
Well, you can go to ......, then this ...... big one is ......
Oh, and put a medallion in it.
...... huh ......?

 I thought I had explained it more succinctly than this, but Noir didn't seem to understand what I was trying to say and kept comparing my face to the large tube.

I'm sure you're aware of the fact that the medallion is a part of the medallions, but if you carry the medallions separately, it's a lot of work. So let's just plant a medallion as well: ......
"Size, like ......, doesn't fit .......
''We're also going to [disassemble] the medallion and stuff it into a tube. We're going to draw out the power by making it [synthesize] anyway, so there shouldn't be any functional problems even if it doesn't retain its original form before that stage.
........................

 Noir looked stunned under her bangs and then slowly looked over at Alexia.

 Alexia crossed her arms and put her thumb to her forehead, a helpless grimace on her face.

''I couldn't believe my ears when you said you were going to smash the gift from His Majesty, I couldn't believe my ears either. I'd say it's because it's Luke-kun, who can [restore] that degree with room to spare, that's why this is an idea.
"............ awesome, na ......
'Yeah, I can tell you didn't compliment either of them.
