A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 149-1: Let's go to the magic store. Request for modification of the next small gun.
"This, please.
Alice comes to Takeo on the road to the magic store with Takeo.
Alice was able to shoot a small gun modification 1 in her earlier practice.
He was delighted when he knocked down the tree 50 m away with 5 shots and shot another 5 shots to change the direction of the tree.
I reluctantly returned Takeo a small gun modification 1 after shooting a total of 10 shots, and this time I also practiced at 100m...
Takeo had 15 hits with 1 small gun modification and 10 hits. Alice had 15 hits with a small gun and three hits.
Alice clearly lacked concentration.
So, I decided to stop practicing early and head to the magic store.
Alice has already said one of her earlier words about four times.
"Nothing I give you... so far, you only shoot 10 shots, right?
Miss Alice, melee fights must be the main thing with "physical enhancement" and "weapons and clothing enhancement," right?
"Mmm... yes..."
Alice comes to protest with her mouth pointed.
"... ha... was it fun?
Takeo said with a bitter smile
"Yes! It was so much fun! Please!"
Alice says, sparkling her face.
------------------------
Takeo and Alice arrive at the magic store and Taylor greets them as they go inside.
"Lady Alice, Lady Kitamizato, welcome.
"Yeah."
"Sorry to bother you.
and Alice and Takeo reply.
"I brought you some tea.
Manager Taylor brings tea to the desk in front of Takeo and Alice sitting there.
Then I also put my share at my desk and sit face-to-face with Takeo and the others.
"How was it?
"Small-gun Modification 1 has finished more than requested.
Thank you.
Takeo bows his head and conveys his gratitude.
"No, we had a good experience.
and Taylor says in the light.
"I had set it at 10 gold coins for the remodeling cost, but how long did it actually take?
"Right... I just said six gems, a stand and all processing and... seven gold coins and five silver coins.
"I see. You made it within your assumptions.
"It took me a surprise, privately.
"I thought it would take 10 gold coins, so go up cheap and above all.
... So here's the thing:
"Huh?"
Taylor sees a surprise Takeo.
"What is it?
"Isn't that it?
"I didn't say it was over, though?
Well, I'm done with the small gun modification 1.
"Huh."
"This gun is a prototype as well.
You said your first goal, didn't you?
"Erm, I use Dear Kitamizato's maximum magic to create a gun that doesn't need a bullet refill or loading...
"Yes. So the original purpose was achieved.
It was even a by-product of going all the way in what I think is a good direction.
Oh, yeah, the 'shield' on the part that hits the shoulder and the cylindrical shape of the launch port part are good.
Future standards, please.
"Yes, I understand.
"Then there are two requests.
First, modify one more small gun to exactly the same specification as this small gun modification 1.
"Huh? Do you need another one?
"I thought it was natural to possess two front and two deputies.
If the positive breaks, you won't be able to do anything until you make another one, will you?
So please always give me exactly the same specifications because I want two on hand.
Of course, the work procedures are with me.
"Yes."
"I would like the cost to be created with 7 pieces of gold and 5 pieces of silver that I heard earlier.
"... yes.
"Please modify the other request with a different specification.
The cost is 10 gold coins the same as this one.
Now we're going for a series of shots.
"Huh?... I have a feeling it's going to be pretty hard..."
"I guess.
The range of the small gun modification 1 is 1200m, but this time please 300-400m.
I don't need that much power either, so... right... it doesn't matter if it's the same power as the bullet in the small gun right now.
If you can hit it, put in the specifications that will explode.
Include specifications that always keep the magic of enhancement going.
Machining for shoulder straps and cylindrical shapes for two legs and the firing port part should be attached.
Hmm... what more do you have... "
"What is the interval between successive shots?
"... aim is 10 shots per second.
"Huh?... it's again..."
Taylor makes a difficult face.
"Because it will be hard to get there all of a sudden.
What about three shots per second now for now?
"Still enough, the goal seems high.
"Well, think of it as rewarding.
"Okay.
Is it a week?
"I already have a small gun modification 1 this time, so I won't rush that far...
Do you want to make it a week for now?
I know it's difficult, so each time, let's discuss it.
"Yes."
"The designation will be Small Arms Modified 2.
By the way, how long does it take to remodel to a small gun modification 1?
"Finish in 3 days. Because I know how to do it.
"That's okay.
"What happened to collecting example bullets and small arms?
"We are currently getting answers from 2 of 4 houses, with 2 small guns and 200 bullets coming.
"Okay.
Set aside those two clocks and a total of three clocks of the one you keep for modification to small arms modification 1 and one to small arms modification 2.
Leave the bullet here for about 50 more rounds.
"Okay.
Takeo gives 15 gold coins and pays for them.
and leave the used drug for 130 rounds, including today's.
"... what do you do with this?
"Mm-hmm. I thought I'd melt it down and turn it into a sword when we got together somewhat. I'll keep it here.
"Okay.
"Well, thank you.
Takeo took a seat and left the store with Alice.
Taylor was staring at them with a sigh of relief.
