"I guess the joints are the problem, Mr. Ars."

"Yes, it is. I mean, if you simply miniaturize a magical weapon, it doesn't move very well.

　We will discuss the miniaturization of magical weapons with Gran.

　The magical weapon is about 5 meters long, made of hardened bricks, and has the body of a Thanatos model.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was possible to simply make it smaller.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If made less than 2m high, it could be equipped with a human sword or a magic gun.

　However, it is a little too small for that.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There were several reasons for this.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reason is that, in the case of a large size, a model of Thanatos' body was powerful enough to be used as a weapon.

　After all, it is heavy.

　Even just swinging a fist or kicking it would generate tremendous destructive power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this power disappeared when they were miniaturized.

　Moreover, it is not as mobile as Ai, which is also life-size and humanoid.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The starting point of the Ai was to enable Aisha, who lives in the temple of the divine world, to live her life with her own hands.

　Therefore, under the skin-like skin, Ai has a spherical-jointed doll-like structure to enable smooth movements as much as possible.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Magic weapons do not have such a joint structure.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are more like sculptures carved out of rock.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When they were large, they moved by force, relying on their auto-repair function.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There were no proper joints, and they moved their bodies by grinding and grinding.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Therefore, simply making it smaller would not have allowed it to move as well as the Ai.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, we did not intend to use Ai for combat use.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even if it has some white combat ability, it is only for self-defense.

　She was made to be a cute doll that even Aisha could pass her test.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I didn't want her to have a negative image of being a dangerous item for fighting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since she is also working for the management of the territory and the Bank of Barca, it would be much more advantageous to have a good impression of her.

"Let's try making a ...... plastic model for reference."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, what is it, Mr. Ars?　Plastic models, that is?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Hmm, yeah. I just had an idea. I have one idea for a small magical weapon that is humanoid but has a structure that does not look like a person.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　While Gran and I were talking about this and that, something I had been thinking about came out of my mouth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A small magical weapon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The same size as a normal sized person, with a form that is recognizable at first glance as not being a person, even though it can share weapons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And yet, it has a structure that allows it to move as well as or better than an eye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had an answer to this question.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is something I always remember from my past life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was a real humanoid robot that I had built in plastic models.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A humanoid model that could be made by simply cutting out the pieces from a kit sold as a kit and snapping them together with nippers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Moreover, it was very well made and could be posed in various ways.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Couldn't we make such a model as a magical weapon?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If conventional magical weapons are super robots, let's try to turn them into real robots.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If it is possible to do so, it would be possible to move it by installing a virtual personality eye.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have a feeling that by using spherical joints at the base of shoulders and legs, and different joint structures for elbows, knees, and fingers of hands, it would be much easier to move than conventional magical weapons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If so, it may be possible to use the technology for existing large magical weapons after miniaturizing them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought it would be a good idea to make such a magical weapon like a plastic model.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh. Sounds interesting. Well then, I'll try to draw it on paper, that I will, Mr. Ars. Draw a picture of this plastic model on this paper, that you do.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"All right, all right. I can only draw a rough sketch, though. I don't want to be too specific. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Apparently, Gran was amused by my words and wanted to ask me about plastic models.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　So he handed me a piece of paper.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's a piece of plant paper made by Barca.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The paper is made from a medicine that restores magic power, so it can be used to write without using ink.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Like Kyle's [Necrocopy], I can write on the paper without using [Necrocopy] by manipulating magic power.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And by reproducing the images in my brain on paper with magical power, I can depict the images even if I am not very good at it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I did as Gran recommended.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I showed Gran the illustration of the plastic model I had created.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, well. I see. It certainly seems possible to make a humanoid without imitating the structure of the human body itself. In the case of Ai, we used rubber to reproduce something similar to skin, that we did, but there is no need to hide the joints without using rubber. If that is the case, even if it is a humanoid, it should be able to perform movements that humans cannot perform.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. If you work hard, you can deform it, can't you?　I don't know about that kind of structure, though."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Transform, that it is?　For example, what kind of shape can it transform from humanoid to, that it can?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, let's see. For example, it could fold its body and transform into a flying form, right?　If it can transform into a magic airship-like shape, it can fly. Or, maybe several of them could merge into a larger one. I don't know if it is feasible at all.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Transformation into flight form or combination, that it is. That sounds interesting, that it does. I see. What if we can make it so that when it changes its shape, its wings are positioned in various places, like four wings. ....... Then it would be able to fly, that it would. ......mmm. This is quite difficult, Mr. Ars.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Not so good, Gran. To be honest, it's just an idea, so if it doesn't work, it doesn't matter."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No, that is not true, that it is not, Mr. Ars. I would like you to give me some time, that I would. I will surely develop an unprecedented magic weapon, that I will.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Okay. Well, I don't really need it right now. As long as we can mass produce the Eye, I don't care if it takes a little longer to improve the magic weapon, Gran.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I am sorry, that I am. Well, this is a big job. My arms are ringing, that they should.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that I've sparked Gran's motivation.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Some plastic model illustrations I drew out on paper.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And then I showed him a romantic piece of art that tickled his boyish fancy: a plastic model that transforms from a humanoid to a flying form.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This seemed to have caught Gran's interest.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Whether or not the transformation and combination functions were realistically necessary, the research on the development of small magic weapons with new functions developed based on the opinion that it would be interesting.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In this way, Gran and I's research turned into a pursuit of romance.
