Chapter 24 – No matter how hard I try, what’s impossible is impossible, isn’t it?

After that, Cain-san and I talked for a while and parted ways. I logged out right away, but I’m not sure about Cain-san?

The next day

「Fufufu… Operation’s a go!」

「… What’s that?」

「Eh? N-No! It’s nothing!!」

「… ?」            

While I was eating breakfast, I was thinking about how to get back at Suzu for what she did to me the day before yesterday, and it seemed to have slipped out of my mouth.

Ah, at any rate, let’s get on with the day!

─────

───

I think about what to do as I take my shoes out of the shoe box.

Suzu jumped in as soon as I entered the classroom. This is the only chance.

If I just duck out of the way… fufufu…

Garagaragara

「Ayaaa!!」

「──Here!! ………. Ho ~e… ?」

Gyū…

I opened the door and ducked Suzu who jumped in… I should have….

To my surprise, Suzu made a spectacular 90-degree turn as if she knew I would dodge.

「Mugugu… Mu~!!」

「…Just now, were you trying to avoid me… ?」

「Mu… !?」

She asked me in a voice a notch lower than usual as she pressed her ample breasts against me.

「Pwah! W-What are you talking about~… ?」

「There’s no point in pretending! A・gain the punishment of tickling!」

「Noooo!!」

Yes. What Ayane had been subjected to previously had been a tickle.

「N-No more! Uhyahahaha!!」

Ayane was then tickled in a slow and steady manner until the teacher arrived.

――――

――

「Uu~ I’ve had a bad day…」

A beautiful girl with red hair logged in with her hands on her head.

「….. All right! Let’s switch things up!」

Today I’m going to forge Cain-san’s greatsword. I’ve already decided what it’s going to look like!

Let’s go to the Blacksmith’s Guild right away!

So I quickly forgot about today’s events and thought about Cain-san’s greatsword that I was going to forge.

「Sorry to bother you. I’ll borrow the forge!」

「Oh! There’s plenty of room, use any of them!」

「Thank you very much!」

As soon as I arrived at the forge, I unrolled my alchemy kit and blacksmithing kit.

What we’re building today is exactly that!… A Gunsword!

Some kind of Shuryoge? It’s a greatsword version… of a gunlance!

TL. Shuryoge (しゅりょーげー) – I don’t know what this is…

Gunlance

I’ve never seen a gunlance before, but I know about it because Suzu often talks about the game and I’ve often seen her playing it…

These materials… I thought of that the moment I saw the description of Kragan!

A greatsword and a gun.

I think it’s mainly based on the greatsword, but I wonder…?

Maa, I won’t know until I try, right?

… Tto. In the meantime, the preparations are complete.

The procedure for making the sword is as follows…

・First, make the greatsword as a base

↓

・Next, solidify Kragan’s leg

↓

・Combine with alchemy!!

This is the way it goes.

First, let’s start with the greatsword.

Using the magic iron, the greatsword will be made into a double-edged sword. At this time, leave the core of the sword open.

I’m going to put a foot of Kragan in here to work on it later!

Since Kragan is water-based, the slime is also smelted to blend in with the magical iron while striking.

――Kaaan! Kaaaan!!

―Kaaan!! Kaaan!!

…

The result was a bluish-black, double-edged greatsword.

The next step was to harden the legof Kragan.

To be honest, I’m thinking that this could be hardened by mixing iron or something together with alchemy.

I place Kragan’s leg on the red cloth, and the excess magic iron on the blue cloth, then use my skills.

The rest was heated like normal metal, and the straightened legs were attached to the core of the double-edged greatsword, again joined together by alchemy.

The length of the legs were originally longer than the length of the sword it was built for, but since it would not be able to make a thrusting attack, the gun is inside the tip of the sword.

I also made a leather scabbard and a hilt out of Kragan’s skin so that the sword could be pulled out from the side.

「A-Amazing…」

Firstly, the durability value is high. Secondly, it has a good set of weapon skills. And the name! Well, it was nice to put it on temporarily, but I didn’t expect it to be approved! I did it!

Ayane, already in a late-night state of excitement, talked to herself for about 10 minutes and then logged out.
