The trial was over.
　Even though I was acquitted, it was fully conceivable that I would be detained until I could corroborate the material I presented, but it was easily decided that I would be released.
　Thanks to the Marquis of Karonarai's bad mental image and the persuasiveness of the materials I prepared, we were able to get him released easily.

After completing the paperwork, we were finally set free.
　Life in jail is not a good place to be.
　However, that level of prison is almost a free pass, and it wasn't a bad time to devote to the study of magic in a long time.
　Above all.........

''【Agartrum】. How dare you keep such a thing hidden away?

After making sure there was no one around, he took out a disgraced divine weapon from the Marquis Karonarai's treasury.
　It looks like a silver prosthetic hand.
　The prosthetic hand itself isn't too unusual.
　However, [Agartrum]'s characteristic is that it is a perfect prosthetic hand and that it has a core.

A perfect prosthetic arm is literally perfect, and no matter who wears it, it should be able to fully function as an arm with no discomfort.
　The range of motion, flexibility, and tactile sensations are reproduced in such a way that they are no different from those of a live person.

On top of that, it is extremely strong, and legend has it that it even withstood a blow from the [Gay Volg] that Setanta owned.
　Moreover, magic power constantly flowed from that core. Gazing at it with Touahade's eyes, I found that the amount of magic power that was constantly being produced was almost the same as Dia's magic power production. In other words, it's equivalent to the highest magic power holder in humanity.
　What was even more surprising was that when it was exposed to its magic power like this, it would transform to match the owner's magic power. In other words, it can be treated as one's own magic power.
　This is too convenient.
　It's so convenient that I want to cut off my own right arm and replace it.

''It's just that if I do that, Dia and Tart will be sad.

I'm not interested in replacing my arms at the moment just because of their performance.
　Even if they want to become stronger, they don't rejoice in the fact that my right arm becomes a magic tool.
　And I'd like to hold them in my hands.

No, wait.
　It's not that there's a rule that says you have to have two arms, nor is there a rule that a prosthetic hand must be worn at all times.
The activation condition of [Agartram] is a neural connection.
　Then it can be used other than as a substitute for an arm.
　Let's study it carefully.

◇

Before leaving the courthouse, he used a disguise tool that he carried around in a [crane skin bag] to sneak into a private room and disguise himself as a different person.
　This one case was attracting tremendous attention, and if he went outside as a rogue Touahade, he would definitely be met with a lot of questions.

When I leave the courthouse, there is still a crowd of people looking for me.

I push my way out through that crowd, and no one recognizes me.
　Nevan is gone. She smiled at me the moment the trial was settled and then left.
　She didn't come here because she was worried about me. She'd just come to see how far I could go.
　The tricks I showed her this time should have satisfied her.

I let the agent, who was in the crowd, hold the letter.
　The agent doesn't see the transformation either, but we have an arrangement for contacting each other, and if I indicate it's me by my gestures, it will be understood.
　The contents of the letter are a message to Maha.
　A thank you for your help in various ways and additional requests for help with this one as well.
　And it says that I'll be on my way to her tomorrow.

I've caused her a lot of trouble and haven't given her a good amount of work. Above all, the one who was most worried about this case was Maha. We've put her through a lot of heartache.
　She is the manager of the intelligence network and can see everything that has happened. That's why I think a lot about it.

'It's windy,'

A storm is on its way. Based on the cloud movement and the humidity and temperature on my skin, it looks like it will hit in the evening and pass by morning.
　Flying through the storm is tough.
　It's possible, but terribly draining.
　Since hang gliders use the wind to fly, it's tough not to be able to use [wind protection], which nullifies the effects of the wind, and it's hard to fly in heavy rain.
　Until the storm stops, let's rent an inn somewhere and quickly play with our new toys, and then head to Murteu as the storm passes.
　With this in mind, I began to look for an inn in the royal capital.

◇

The rain and wind have been pounding mercilessly on the windows of the inn since a few minutes ago.
　Just as I had read, the storm was hitting the royal city.
　I'm glad it stopped.
　I don't want to fly in a storm like this.

''I knew it was as I thought.

I was analyzing a new divine weapon in the inn, the [Agartrum], and I found out a few things.
The connection between [Agartrum] and the physical body is also physical, but it's just a sub and the main one is due to the spiritual path.

The domain of mystery and magic, not science.
　If it is, then it might be able to be used without cutting off the arm separately.
　With the arm attached, I try to insert the blade of the connection into the flesh, then the blade gouges into the flesh and then spreads out so that it can't be pulled out, causing a ridiculously intense pain.
　The wound healed by the power of the [Agar Tram], the wound was closed and physically connected.

However, it was only on my shoulder and wouldn't move, not even a twitch.
　The reason for this is simple, the spiritual path from my shoulder to my arm is currently only connected to my arm.

Due to the fact that the path to which [Agar Tram] connects is blocked, the spiritual path can't connect to it.
　However, I saw the behavior of this Touahade's eyes when it tried to make the connection.
　That's why I can roughly imagine the formula from the movement of his magic power.
　Moreover, even while I'm doing this, [Agartram] continues to look for the connection to the spiritual path. It's very easy to analyze.

''Maybe we can do this.''

There was a similar technique in the magic I've analyzed so far. Magic that uses the spiritual path is surprisingly common. A typical example is the abandonment magic that temporarily wears flames by circulating the magic power of fire in the spiritual path.
　........Currently, the reason it doesn't move even if you connect the prosthetic hand is because there is only one line connecting the shoulder and arm.
　The magic I make is simply one that creates a split in the line from the shoulder to the arm.
　As I write the formula, I think about how Dia would probably make it better.

Delicate magic is her forte.
　When I get back, I'll show Dia what I made and ask her to improve it.
　For now, today's objective is to get 【Agartram】 into a state where I can use it.
　As long as it moves, that's all that's needed.
　In this way, I'll be enthusiastic about developing magic.
　Although it's quite difficult, I have a sense that we're making progress little by little.
　When I look up after completing the desired magic, I realize that the night has dawned and the storm has passed.
　I seemed to have been concentrating on it for hours.

''Well, let's get on with the chanting... [Puppet [Kugutsu]

I gave this magic the name Puppet, or Kugutsu.
　The magic is activated and the spiritual path from my shoulder analyzes it as desired.
　Then the [Agartrum] that is still stuck in my body finally finds the spiritual path it wants, and extends the path to connect it.
　For a moment, my consciousness almost blacked out.
　An intense discomfort.

The amount of information on [Agartram] is too much. If it wasn't for me growing my brain with 【Growth Limit Breakthrough】 while constantly loading it up, my brain would have been burned out.
　One arm's worth of information is a tremendous amount, fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, multiple moving points, and even every single muscle has to be controlled.

Originally, [Agar Tram] would interrupt the resources used for the owner's arm, but because of the forced addition of one arm, all the information needed to move one new arm was flowing in.
　Human designs are made with two arms. It wasn't designed to operate three, so it was inevitable that the process would be punctured.
　But it was bearable.

"...we're connected. I see, this is good.

With the spiritual path connected, the magical power created in the core of the [Agartrum] flows in.
　Moreover, it also has the power to strengthen self-healing power and activate the body.
　No, that's not all, I found out that I can release magic power through the medium of the 【Agartrum】.
　Together with the magic power that can be released from my body, the amount of instant magic power released is twice as much.
　My biggest flaw, that my magic tank is completely substandard, but the instantaneous amount of magic power released is not in the realm of a superhuman, can be eliminated to a great extent.
　Besides.....

I can move it just as I imagined.

I was able to make the prosthetic hand stuck in my shoulder pull out and wave the knife I had hidden in my inner pocket. It was a smooth movement, just as I was aware of it.
　The problem is that I can't move it unless I'm aware of it, and unconscious action through reflex is impossible at this point.
　Oh come on, let's fix that.
　The hand that comes with it is quite usable at the moment.
　This prosthetic hand can be hidden in loose clothing, so it's perfect for a surprise attack.

For example, if you are in the middle of a sword fight and your third arm suddenly appears through your clothes and swings your blade, no one can respond to it.
　After all, no one is expecting a third arm.
　Even without that kind of surprise, you can do all sorts of interesting things with three arms.

'This guy's had enough of that,'

He pulls the prosthetic hand that was deeply impaled in his flesh out of his shoulder.
　Blood gushes out and heals under the effects of [Super Recovery].
　.........Well, I was able to use this tool.
　Next, let's analyze this more and think about diverting this technology to other things.
　A control so precise that it can be handled as an arm, I'm learning a lot of things.

It's now morning. Maher's been waiting for me a long time.

The morning sun is rising.
　There is not a cloud in the sky.
　This way I can fly to Maha.
　I'm sure she'll be sulking and angry that I didn't see her face for a long time at first. But soon, she will smile and be happy to see us again.

The trial was over.
　Even though I was acquitted, it was fully conceivable that I would be detained until I could corroborate the material I presented, but it was easily decided that I would be released.
