An hour later, Zanoba's laboratory.
After that, meeting up with Cliff, we came back after we bought lunch.
Currently, I’m facing three people while eating our lunch.
On the side, Ginger looking after Julie.
Rather than a knight, she looks more like a maid.
"Master, about the Magic Armor's performance, how is it?"
“It was not bad, it could take a demon's attack. But, as I thought, I still feel a bit worried about its ability. It’s fine against a demon, but will it be enough if the opponent is a swordsman...?"
"Defense power, resilience, and mobility... because we sacrificed them all. "
"But, to reach the prototype level, size is required...."
After one and a half years, the Magic Armor has gone through a number of iterations.
At first, beginning with completing Magic Armor , then thinking about downsizing it while keeping its performance as it is, that is where the hard part was.
In the first place, it was a collection of the best technology we had at that time, and then the addition of Hitogami's mysterious technique.
Even after a complete revision, it was still not small enough. It could become one size smaller, but that would make its ability fall. This result is not very useful at all.
Then finally, after repeated trial and error and thoroughly studying the Body part magic formula.
Concentrating on both feet part magic formula, wrapping its principle, it then changed form.
This miniaturization reduced the consumption of magical power significantly. (However, it was still on the level where only I could use it).
Completion of Arm parts and Legs part [V2].
But, [V2] power has some limitations.
At any rate, the thing about magical power flowing through the body part, it fully needs my magical power to move one hand or one feet from its original location.
So, with this kind of inefficient magical power consumption, it could only deliver a performance of about the average level of an advanced swordsman at its best.
So, by breaking its limbs we’re inserting an auxiliary magical formula and it is also installed in the body part.
Now, it has become [V2 Revised] which has the average performance of a [Saint] class swordsman.
The ideal power-efficient version that I envisioned.... is still far.
The ideal is always far away, and not always what the world's society would like.
"Well, it seems like we have no choice but to continue to improve it while using this."
"You’re right."
Cliff also gives his consent.
Anyway, he has the task to complete the equipment for each limb.
"Then, master, I wonder, how about the Gatling gun barrel?"
"That is too overpowering, so I try to limit the use of it..."
Someway or another, I’m always thinking of developing new weapons.
Roxy's acquaintance manufactured the Gatling Gun.
Following Orsted's advice, we made a small change, it could fire 10 rock shells at the same time.
Something like....Finger-Fu○aboms, or commonly called Shotgun.
This is a counter measure against the Water God style.
Orsted said that Water God style can parry the magic itself.
So, with a little variation in timing, my shotgun which could fire off bullets simultaneously is the best counter for it.
It’s useless when facing [King] class of Water God style or above. Though with the exception of its firing range it is hard to call it useless, it's a very user-friendly weapon.
I train hard in various ways, but I won't suddenly become strong without a growth period.
Practicing magic, strength training...
Training my mind for battle...
Recently I've only had to fight little fish, at some point a strong enemy will appear.
I need history of killing, like killing enemies in one shot.
"Come to think of it Zanoba, how is your autonomous doll research progress?"
"Ah, it’s over there. I temporarily abandoned it, because research to protect Shisho's life is more important. "
"Ah... I’m sorry for causing you so much trouble."
"Ha ha ha, Magic Armor research is also fun. There is no need to apologize. Rather I feel gratitude to be included in this. "
So says Zanoba, but while saying so, he is hitting the Magic Armor.
I wonder if that is what he really feels.
"Come to think of it Zanoba, now that Julie has become an adult, I wonder if we can start selling the dolls and the book now? "
"Hmm ......"
Dolls and picture book.
At one point, the first step has already been completed.
While I wasn't here Zanoba has secretly bought paint, and made the finishing touch to the product.
Well, some of Ruijerd's hair color is too light, his spear is cream-colored. Come to think of it, his skin color is also too bright. Well, that is only a trivial problem.
Then in case, the painting is supplemented to teach more about Supard race.
Norn keeps one on her bedside, Roxy screamed when she saw it the first thing in the morning, she then shut herself in her room and ignored me.
Regarding what happened to the picture book.
Wow, Zanoba is the one who drew it.
It’s not toned down enough to be liked by children. It’s difficult to reach that degree.
It's mass produced by printing. Afterwards it’s manually colored by hand.
I’m overwhelmed with the feeling of handmade goods, in this world it’s roughly all like that, so there is no bad feeling.
Finally, by adding an overview of the letters used in the language at the end of each book, it is not only a story book, but it also doubles as teaching material.
In case it will become a text book, with consideration of its early distribution.
A doll and a book, a two-in-one package. During every job where I save someone, I never forget to give a set to that person.
It's good to keep at it....earnestly.
"It is difficult."
However, Zanoba is showing his pessimism.
"... is it about the costs?"
