A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World

Episode 71: Request for modification of a small gun 1. What is a gun that doesn't need bullet replenishment.

"So let's set the specifications for the small guns?

Takeo tells the clerk.

"Yes.

Sure... the inside of the back part of this bullet explodes, and with that explosive force, you fly the bullet... right?

"Yes. So to put it simply, it will be a process of generating - triggering - exploding - firing bullets.

"... First of all, it's hard to produce iron bullets.

"Really?

"Yeah. Iron's raw stones are in nature, but it's impossible to create them within a moment because the iron itself is refined and made.

Right... for example, this sword.

and the clerk holds the sword that was there.

"Shall I use 80 magic powers to generate this sword?

"... wasted.

"Yeah, it's more wasteful than saying.

If you use the same magic, it is more powerful to incorporate gems into your sword and use them.

"I see. Magic materials consume less magic than people's hands even in nature.

"It will.

Takeo listened to the clerk and worried a little...

"Ice... what do you think?

"I see, that's good.

Besides, if you're about this size, you're going to need to consume less magic.

"?... what are you talking about?

"Huh?"

"I'd like to make it with 25 of my magic caps?

"Ah... you can use 25 at all stages if you think about Kitamizato-sama's lineage and not decreasing..."

"Yeah. But the previous story doesn't seem to have much power.

"... it's not.

"Huh?"

"Magic is about image.

If you imagine a large range of effects, the power will decrease.

On the contrary, if you turn it down, the power won't increase significantly. Even if it does, it will increase slightly and can be used for a long time.

"Really?

"By the way, what magic could Master Kitamizato use?

I thought they practiced yesterday?

"Yes. Yeah... that?

Check inside the backpack, but I couldn't discover the note.

I wrote some magic on paper last night and I think I left it in my room.

"Excuse me. I left it in my room.

So I'll write it here.

and write the contents of that note on the drawing with one hand the book.

"... you can't read..."

The clerk looks troubled.

"Erm. I think you can read it if you wear glasses, right?

and Takeo tells the clerk that the clerk also brings the glasses from the display.

"Oh, you can read it.

... Hmm. Sounds like you can use it all the time.

"Yes.

The part of the sphere is' Blizzard 'and the explosion is' Ex '?

"Right.

"... how many gems can you attach to this little gun?

"I don't think I would use a gem that big if it was about 25 magic, so I think I could put 5 or 6 on it.

Hearing that, Takeo often thinks.

"Stand Up - Reinforce Your Whole Small Gun - Generate Ice Bullets - Plant the Magic of Explosion Inside the Ice - Generate a Membrane of Water in the Gap Between the Cylinder and the Bullet - Pull the Trigger - Explode Behind the Bullet - Fire

Can you do it the way you say?

"I can, but I want to ask you a few questions.

"Why would you put an explosion inside the ice?

"The ice itself will crush when it hits things, but if there's an explosion there, the crushed ice itself flies in all directions as a small bullet... I thought it could do double damage... can't you?

"... you can. Just a distance away may weaken the power to some extent.

"Then a double attack will likely work even if the power is weakened.

"That's true.

"So why make a membrane of water between a bullet and a barrel?

"Can it prevent the blast from slipping out of between the bullet and the barrel to some extent when there is an explosion behind the bullet? I thought, and I wish it would go smoothly when the bullets were fired.

"I see."

"You can make an explosion behind the bullet at the end, but I doubt it will be powerful enough to fly the bullet.

Is there any good way?

"... shall we use what remains after we use this bullet..."

"Huh? What do you mean?

"Um... I think if I could shoot this, I'd know...

Why don't we use the back part that stays after the bullet's fired?

"... now I'll bring cushions, etc., so let's shoot.

Once the clerk went to the back and brought a large quantity of soft stuff.

And lay it on the wall.

"Now what do you think?

The clerk tells me Takeo shoots in one first.

The bullet flew with the bread and the sound. The cushion dispersed.

It didn't look like it bounced inside the room.

Takeo was first, horrified.

I've never fired a gun before, but I was relieved that it was less recoil than I had thought and didn't have to fall.

Pulling the lever throws the drug outside the small gun.

Takeo shows it to the clerk in his hand.

"Let's use this.
