A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 141: Magic Equipment is Part 2

"... magic doll?

Hearing Calvin's words, Reurus looked at Eliza with his neck tilted. With the exception of Dwarves Calvin and Meer, I thought Eliza was the only one who might know.

I gave up on Sarah. Earlier, Calvin was cold and depressed, and now he's sitting on Reurus' lap and keeping his head down.

"It's like I've heard of her... it's like she's never heard of her..."

"Eliza, that's all. I don't know... what kind of magic equipment is that?

While looking sideways at Eliza, her expression seemed distorted, Reurus waved to Calvin.

Unlike the great sword of Reurus and Eliza's wand I've heard so far, I can only deduce that it's a special magical instrument.

"Depending on the" type and quality ”... some good quality magic dolls can be turned into humans."

"... what?

Calvin talks seriously and yet in a bad mood. The opposing Reurus rounded his eyes and wondered if he had heard the wrong thing.

"Can you turn into a human? The doll? Huh... what is that...?"

"That's gonna happen... oh, that's gonna happen. It's such a stupid magic tool, you son of a bitch...."

Calvin sighs loudly when he drinks.

The question of what to do with humans, how accurate it is to transform it, and whether it is possible to act independently is a realuse that comes to mind immediately, but I can't even imagine how to make a magical doll with fine dust.

Many of Calvin's red swords are incomprehensible from Reurus.

However, the “mechanism” that Calvin mentioned earlier was understandable when all of them listened. I was convinced that it could be made from the materials and techniques used.

If you compare it with Eliza's wand, it's easier to use lightning magic because you've used Thunderball as a material. By the way, it is shaped to be used as a blunt weapon or as a stabbing weapon.

As a result, Eliza's wand was created, but everyone would be satisfied if she explained the course.

"No... wait, wait, wait. How does it feel to be transformed? There's no point in turning a doll into a puppet if you can tell from a glance.

It's a revulsion that Calvin's story draws on, but I can only make up for it if I can't imagine what it is. When it comes to turning into a human being, it may only be of such quality that it can pass through with elaborate dolls.

"The magic doll I know is a substitute for the noise that activates just by imagining the person I want to demolish. Your face, voice, body... mimic all these characteristics. It's warm when you touch it, and your heart is pulsating."

"Well, I don't think that that's a big threat... but perhaps it's also similar to how you talk?

"It sounds like it depends on how far you imagined, but we'll talk normally."

It's a little - no, it's definitely a horror. Sometimes the magic doll and the “original” person are replaced.

"Besides, he's imitating the technology of the other person he's demonizing. If you can use magic, if you are wearing martial arts, if you are good at martial arts, if you are good at tactics... I don't know if you can imitate even" protection "."

…………

I was told to add, but not just Reurus, but everyone else was silent. Calvin continues to drink as usual, but his mood is only growing.

Can you "..." mimic it completely?

After dozens of seconds of silence, Reurus asked. If so, mimicking a powerful wizard with a magic doll could be quite powerful.

But Calvin shook his head quietly.

"That's not going to be possible... I don't know what kind of reasoning I'm making, but as far as I know, if I can reproduce 50% of my abilities, I'll be able to do it. Beyond that... that's a genius, no, a miracle of genius."

Isn't 50% enough? Reurus thinks so, but there's something frightening when he thinks he's 50% capable and completely imitates his appearance and personality.

"... you've seen that talk before, right?

"Ah... I don't know where it came from, but only once. It was almost broken and worn out, but it worked. It's been decades....."

Calvin stares distantly at memory. Reurus fights that it's not Calvin's story, but sometime she finds Sarah sitting on her lap asleep and relaxes a little.

"So... what happened to the magic doll?

"I busted it. That's not a good thing to be here. I don't know how it works, but it's probably some kind of foreign law."

Calvin's judgment was probably too much.

"I'd like to ask you something for your information, but don't you have any idea how to make it?

If even technology could be imitated, it would be hard for craftsman Calvin to forgive. Still, it seems to me that I have an idea of how to make it as a craftsman.

"... at least a magical arm that engraves' change 'with' magic letters'. The ingredients are in" Magic Stone "... no, that's it. That's all I know."

Calvin said slightly. There seems to be something about the ingredients - but Reurus didn't bother pointing it out.

"I see... I see why you said my sword was a“ basic ”magic tool. If there's such a noisy substitute, it's only natural."

When comparing the red sword with the magic doll, relying on the knowledge of the previous life, Reus thinks that there is a difference between the Totoku knife and the robot. The Red Sword is a powerful weapon, but the Magic Doll is too wide for what you can do.

Reurus can only be imagined because he didn't see the real thing, but if even magic and martial arts can be imitated to some extent, he can substitute it with a magical doll if he knows a human with the necessary abilities when he needs it.

It would be like installing the features needed for a high-performance robot - the “accuracy” of freedom and ability would be better than that of a magical doll.

(I've thought about it a few times before... this is a terrible fantasy.)

Reurus sighs small. Even the boundaries of what magic can and cannot be done are blurred.

"Well, that's the most noisy magic doll I've ever known."

"... most of all, it sounds like there are other magic dolls."

As Eliza pointed out while pulling her cheeks, Calvin nodded with a brighter expression than before.

"There is. It's just that we don't have the ability to turn into humans or mimic abilities or anything like that. They use their magic to manipulate it."

(If the magic doll was a robot, now it's Radicon?

It seems that there are also various magic dolls. As for the realuse, the impact of the magic doll I just heard was too strong, so even if I heard that it could be manipulated by magic, I didn't remember the threat.

"It seems that nobles who can use magic can use it on shadow warriors... well, if we can get the numbers together, it could be quite a threat."

It seems like a “forgivable” magical doll for Calvin, but for Reurus, it won't attract more interest than before. While being careful not to wake Sarah sleeping on her lap, she summarized the stories she had heard in her head.

(A magical instrument that can be used or made easier to use, and that will have some effect on the weapon like my big sword... that's a “normal” magical instrument, I guess. However, there are exceptions like magic dolls.....)

It is difficult to attract interest because it is unlikely that I can make it myself, but I don't know where to encounter enemies with magic tools. In that sense, he would have been right to speak to Calvin.

Especially if you encountered a magical doll that mimics people without knowing anything, you must have been confused.

(Well, even Calvin seems to have only seen it once, and it's unlikely that we'll encounter it....)

Closed in his heart, Reurus opens his mouth to change the subject.

"Speaking of which, Meer is better at making magic tools than blacksmithing, right? You don't make anything?

Reurus was pointing water at Meer. Calvin seemed angry and depressed, but Reurus made his face shine when he asked questions.

"Me? Hmm... are you still practicing Magic Letters? In the meantime, I'll carve it into" reinforcement ", and if you need to carve it into something, I'll give you practice.

"Hey Reurus, don't spoil my stupid daughter too much. It is true that it is suitable for making magical instruments, but it is only suitable. At this point, it's a good place for half a man."

"Hmm... I want to argue, but I can't say anything because it's true..."

Meer turns away somehow with regret. As Calvin's daughter, Meer must be a craftsman. They have a good grasp of what they can do and are aiming for further improvement.

"... well, at the very least, sharpening the sword won't be a problem. Let him take care of the sword I hit."

Calvin softens the tone slightly, wondering if there was anything in Meer's expression. When he heard it, Reurus laughed a little, but immediately remembered the doubt.

"It's my grandmother's daughter, and I'm not stingy to keep my love sword... but it burns when I touch it, right? Are you okay?"

"Hey, Reursteme, you bastard. You're licking the dwarf. Oi... can't you fix the sword you hit? Don't be ridiculous. I'll burn you!

"Don't push me, Dad!?

Are you kidding me or are you serious? Calvin breathes out his alcoholic breath. Probably drunk.

"Well, it's okay! Maybe Reurus, if you give me permission, I won't burn if I touch you! If you can't, Reurus will teach you how to sharpen it! I'll tell you what to do!

"If you know it's going to burn, just use 'Nullify' to grip it..."

Calvin whispers, but Meer doesn't hear him.

(Should I use "Disable"? But if the sword suddenly burns, you won't have time to use 'Nullify', and if I don't use it in the first place, it won't come out of my sheath... you don't have to worry about it being stolen)

Reurus heard Calvin murmuring, but Love Sword's security was more important. It's likely to lead to a situation where the burnt corpse is rolling if you notice, but you have to be careful around it.

For the Sword of Love, that amount of hardship is neither hardship nor anything.

"Anyway, I need to be careful with the magic doll... it seems like a rare item, and I may not even see it while I'm alive."

The lesson learned from Calvin's story ends with Eliza's words. Reurus nodded in agreement and began to shake to wake Sarah, who fell asleep on her lap.
