A Mid-level (Middle-aged) Office Worker’s Laid-Back Industrial Revolution in Another World
Episode 269: Small Gun Modification 2 Test Fire Ended. What is a dragon?
Takeo, Alice and Mia were relaxing at Taylor's Magic Store.
"Mm-hmm..."
"Dear Kitamizato, what is it?
When Taylor brings a cup of tea for four and dines, he sits in an empty seat himself.
Takeo and the others who bought the travel accessories had test-fired in front of the castle gate with Taylor.
I shot into the same tree 50 meters away as I did when I changed my small gun 1... but now I'm at the end of a test shot and I'm in a reflection.
"No, it's a small gun modification 2... because it wasn't a good idea.
"With the current idea, you can't give me any faster shooting speed than that.
It really takes you a second to refine the bullet and the magic of the explosion.
I've tried to make the amount of magic consumed 60% of the small-gun revamped 1 to make it quicker... but you were largely sharpened in power.
"Right.
... Now for serial firing, maybe you should shelf it.
Takeo leaks his sigh.
"Now what?
Alice asks.
"Yeah.
At my place, it's not in this form to shoot at 20 shots per second, is it?
This barrel... there are four or six cylinders placed in a circular fashion and that part rotates and shoots out.
"Are you going to spin?
Taylor asks strangely.
"Yes. When a bullet is fired, the barrel itself is heated by an explosion and friction with the bullet in the barrel.
Iron is stretched out by heat, slightly changing its orientation.
So the idea is that using multiple cylinders reduces fatigue per cylinder.
Allow the loading and discharge of the bullet itself to take place automatically.
"I see. If I shoot you, I'll use that impact to drain that pod and load it anew...
Maybe five shots per second would be possible if you tried to do that automatic loading with a small gun right now.
And if you rotate the cylinder, you're going to be able to do an unsupplying serial magic little gun.
"Yes, it is...
I don't even know how many small guns to tear apart.
Serial firing research is frozen at this stage because neither small arms nor bullets can be refilled.
"Right.
Takeo and Taylor sigh.
"So you're not remodeling your little gun anymore?
"I will.
"Huh?"
Takeo answers Alice's question as a matter of course, and Taylor is surprised.
"Still got a different idea?
"No?
I thought I'd go for high power if I couldn't fire in a row.
Takeo says with his index finger up.
"Huh? Dear Takeo, isn't it enough to have a small gun revamp 1 now?
Alice says in surprise.
"Huh? Sure, it worked for Auga, Goblin...
... Mia, is there a dragon in this world?
"Are you there? There are four kinds.
Oh, you had zombies, too. 5 varieties.
Mia answers normally, but...
"" Huh!?
Alice and Taylor are amazed.
"... even though I wanted to be surprised...
Why are you two surprised?
Takeo listens with his eyes narrowed.
"No... Manager Taylor...
There are three types of dragons that I taught you.
How was it in Wang Du?
"Yes, I also learn three kinds.
"Red Dragon, Blue Dragon, White Dragon, right?
"Yes...
Dragons are distinguished by their body color... Red in lava and volcanoes is supposed to brace (exhale) flames, Blue in lakes and oceans is supposed to brace (exhale) water, and White in snow mountains is supposed to brace (exhale) ice and cold air.
Alice and Taylor snort as they confirm.
"Mia, do those three types fit, except zombies?
Takeo asks Mia.
"Yes. Lord, those three types have high habitat numbers.
Takeo sees Taylor without saying anything.
"It's not a lot... whether there are a few at a time..."
"Mia, do you know the dragon?
"Yes, they flew well over our house, didn't they? They're about 30 at a time.
"Heh... that must be the difference between the demonic kingdom and the kingdom of Azpur.
It is natural for the number of individuals to change if regions change.
Manager Taylor, what place do you live in this country?
"Erm... I thought it was the middle of a mountain near the border between the kingdom of Dwarf and the kingdom of Azpur...
I'm about to be witnessed flying at night.
"What's the damage?
"Basically not.
They're not interested in villages or towns... or what they're eating... or how they're going to increase.
You have no idea.
They say fighting doesn't give them hard skin and scratches... and they learn to be strong enough that they don't even have a winning eye at all.
"Really... does Mia know?
"You don't have a male or female in the dragon.
I lay eggs once, whether it's 200 or 300 years.
You're eating magic from the earth, so you don't even need a meal.
Live about 600 more years and you'll be able to transform.
Besides, the dragon has a gentle temper, so I don't want to attack anywhere.
It's natural to be strong because it's the strongest species.
"" Ha!?
Again the two are surprised.
"Mia... does the dragon transform? To what?"
"... can't you attack yourself?
"Dear Alice, will you be transformed?
It could be a human or a horse... for anything.
Master Taylor, the dragon is sweet, isn't it? I wouldn't dare to fight if I didn't do any harm.
We know we're the strongest, and we have a life expectancy of 1000 years or something, and we have a huge amount of knowledge.
I always relax.
Alice and Taylor are surprised without saying anything.
"So? Mia, what is one type other than those three?
"I say Black Dragon.
It's strong.
"Black? Red was fire, blue was water, white was ice, right?
What's Black?
"Er... what is it? I can do a lot of things.
Braces are flames, tails and blows can inflict poison, magic can be used, flare (mighty), cyclone (mighty) range attacks... "
Mia says as she thinks.
"Wait... wait a minute.
Dragons use magic?
Taylor rushes into conversation.
"Yes. I've only seen about flares and cyclones though.
Taylor holds his head when he hears the words.
"... Taylor, what's wrong with you? Suddenly hold your head.
Takeo asks.
"No... but if you can even use range magic even though it's powerful, you have to deal with it..."
"The point is, you have no choice but to run away without selling a fight, right?
"Well... yes..."
Taylor said in dismay.
