"We will secure the soft magic tree, make weapons, and strengthen the Orient's strength. That is the last means of our survival, that it is."

　Hmm.

　Weapons, huh?

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

　I know this Juuma-gi is rare.

　But will it be enough to save a dying country just by getting it from the lumberyard?

"What kind of weapons can you make out of this?"

"Hmmm... Would you like to see it, Mr. Alphonse?

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

"Yes. Yes, please.

That's fine, that it is. We are friends who will fight together, that we are. I will show you something special, that I will. This one, that it is."

　Banagher, a little excited, puts his hand on something on a nearby desk.

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

　He moves the cloth over it, and there is something made of wood that is large enough to be held in one's hand.

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

　What is that?

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

"What's this?　It looks like a big-ass bow."

　Banerji showed me a piece of wood with an arc like a bow and a stick connected to it at right angles.

　He said it was a weapon, and I wondered if he would use it to make arrows fly.

"This is a crossbow made of soft magic wood, that it is, Mister Alphonse."

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

"A crossbow?"

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

Yes, that it is. A crossbow is a weapon that can strike more powerfully than a mere bow, that it can. But it has some drawbacks, that it is not as simple as a bow, so it is difficult to repair when it is broken, and it takes time to prepare the arrow before it flies, that it does.

"Heh. Then why don't you just use a bow?"

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

Yes, that's right. So, this crossbow has not been so popular until now, even though it has been studied for development, that it has not been so popular. But with this soft magic wood and the magic stone, that it is a different story. Look closely. See the magic stone inlaid in the handle of this crossbow?　This is created from the magic called [magic stone generation] that we have been able to use, that we have been able to use."

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

　Oh, really.

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

　It is indeed inlaid with a magic stone.

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

　And there was something painted on the surface of the magic stone.

Is this a magic circle?　Does that mean this crossbow is a magical tool?"

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

"That's right, that it is. Mister Alphonse studied in Brillia, didn't he? Many magical tools are made there, and the technology is advanced, that it is. Now, we have also made use of that magic circle technology, and have developed a new magic bow, that we have.

"...... magic bow?　Even though it's a crossbow?"

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

"A crossbow, that it is. Archon Orient. That is the name of the crossbow, that it is. It is a magical weapon for the future of this country, that it is. Isn't it cool?"

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

　What the hell is that?

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

　Won't that complicate things?

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

　Well, I guess they can name it whatever they want.

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

　I hold the bow Orient in my hand and observe it closely.

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

　There is a string attached to the front part like a bow.

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

　And there is a magic stone with a magic circle on the rod of the handle, which is probably used to activate the bow.

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

　In Brillia, there were many products using such magic circle.

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

　However, it was because they are a country with excellent magic circle technology, and there were few opportunities to see such products in Valiant and this small group of countries.

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

　Perhaps that is simply because they were expensive and not easily available outside of Briaria.

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

　However, this bow made in Orient using that technology was probably completed thanks to the magic of [magic stone generation] brought by Brother Ars.

　It can create magic stones.

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

　He must have studied the magic circle by using a number of magic stones, which he can prepare as long as he has magic power, and tried drawing magic circles.

"Earlier, Mister Alphonse was easily pouring magic power into the soft magic tree. But it is said that it is difficult to put magic power into the tree, that it is. In fact, I and others cannot do it, that it is true.

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

"Ah, you mentioned something like that."

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

"Mm. So I made a magic bow using a magic stone, that I did. By means of a magic circle, I made it so that when magic power is poured into the magic stone, it changes into soft magic wood, that it does. The normally hard soft magic wood becomes highly flexible. And then, in this softened state, we can aim and draw an arrow like this. By firing the arrow after doing so, it is possible to make a much more powerful attack than with a conventional bow, that it is.

"I see. Because the juumaki bends so much, the recoil will be stronger if you pull it as hard as you can."

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

Yes, that it is. And it also has the feature of being easy to handle, that it is. It takes a long period of training to become proficient with a bow, that it does, but with this one, you should be able to use it within a day, that you should be able to use it within a day. If you have the Jumaki, you can expect to strengthen your strength with immediate effect, that you can.

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

　So that's how it is.

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

　It seems that the Orient is trying to manage its current lack of strength by preparing powerful weapons.

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

　Certainly, it is better than training with swords from now on.

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

　It's just a matter of pouring magic power into a magic stone, and since there is a magic called [magic infusion], anyone can do it as long as they have a name.

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

　Yeah...

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

　Being able to attack from afar would certainly be a great advantage.

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

　So, the plan to get soft magic wood from the lumberyard is really going to be a battle for this country.

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

　After observing the magic bows, we were finally briefed on the plan for the battle.
