Several months after purchasing the S&W M10, and after failing in researching on reproducing it, the merchant who sold the revolver came bringing a similar magic tool and information on the creator.
Same as last time, they were in the parlour.
The merchant respectfully places a tube that was bigger and longer than the revolver.
Apparently, this magic tool was called an “AK-47”.
Meiya didn’t even bother haggling and bought the AK-47 and the information on its creator with at the merchant’s asking price.
The first thing she did after the merchant left was look at the papers holding information on the creator.
The S&W M10 and AK-47’s creator’s name is Lute.
Raised in an orphanage in Hod of the Aljio region in the Fairy Human Continent.
It seems the merchant got lucky and came across and asked a former resident of Hod.
Lute had been a genius since he was in the orphanage, having learned to speak, read & write as well as basic arithmetic at the age of 3.
At 5 years old, he developed toys such as Reversi and sold the rights to it to a merchant. With the funds procured from that, he set aside a part of it to buy magic liquid metal for the development of the S&W M10 and AK-47.
At 10 years old, he graduated from the orphanage.
After taking a Level II quest as an adventurer, it is likely that he died fighting against a monster.
There was no corpse, not even bones. Suspected that it was already eaten by a monster.
“This can’t be… To think the creator is already dead.”
Meiya was dejected.
For the holder of such talent to die at the age of 10… for such a thing to have happened…
How could the gods do such a cruel thing?
Next, she performed some test firing with the newly bought AK-47.
Same as last time, she went to the courtyard.
The maids placed down some bricks to be targets.
Meanwhile, Meiya looked over the instructions for the AK-47.
It would seem that it was a magic tool made to be able to shoot more bullets than the revolver.
“Certainly, it makes sense…”
After shooting six shots with the revolver, one would have to take out the cartridges from the cylinder and reload it.
However, the AK-47 had something called a “magazine” which was loaded with 30 shots. Also, it seems that reloading could be done simply by replacing the magazine.
Meiya understood that, with this, one could fire a lot of bullets like those from the revolver; but with a much higher capacity.
Since preparations for the brick targets were done, test firing was about to begin.
”Full automatic”, which according to the memo was for firing a large number of bullets
“Here goes nothing.”
She grasped the grip without pressing the stock against her shoulder, and fired while just holding onto the checker ring.
“Kyaaa!?”
Surprised by the recoil from the 7.62mm x Russian shots, she was once again on her behind due the full automatic’s rapid-fire.
She lost her grip on the AK-47 and it tumbled onto the ground.
Meiya turned pale.
Because she imagined that the bullets would shoot out the same way as with the revolver, the AK-47’s full auto completely took her by surprise.
She was, once again, clueless as to its structure that allowed it to fire so quickly in succession.
It was even less comprehensible than the S&W M10’s structure.
In the first place, the concept of such a magic tool didn’t exist in this world.
That’s why she was all the more confused.
(This alien-like magic tool design orientation was created by a mere 5-year-old child!? Th.. That’s impossible!)
However, the real thing was right before her eyes.
Meiya looked at the AK-47 as if it were a cursed magic tool created by a devil king.
But even more than the unpleasant thought, the realization that her talents could never match up to Lute, the genius who created this magic tool, was painfully clear.
