The next day. Riquet worked hard on the delivery knife, so I bought some time, so I decided to focus on Crossbow again today.

The Samirs were out hunting, and they were going to be out hunting today. I asked the patrol to collect any firewood or burning branches that I could use today.

Usually, when I followed in the woods, branches fell everywhere. I usually have enough and I don't pick it up because I have other purposes, but it should be a good amount if I pick it up separately.

Today, Krull may feel better with a lot of things on his back. Hayate would have to think of somewhere to ride a little.

"Come on, come on."

I'm coming!

"Krrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!" ”,“ Cue ”, and the voices of the daughters join in. Seeing everyone disappear into the woods, Riquet and I pulled back into the house.

Today, it depends to some extent on finishing. We're going to incorporate the Engineering Department and attach the bow.

Incorporation of the engine section should be slightly sharpened and the engine section should be pinned.

I think it would be good if it could be used to fasten screws, but the principle is not something you can use anyway.

It seems that it has become commonly used in the previous world since the lathe was built and it was able to make a lot of things with good accuracy.

If you crush the head of the pin a little and don't pull it out easily, there will be no particular problem.

I repeatedly hit the Engineering Department a few times to see how it went, scraping the bullet bed, and then hit and saw how it went.

Eventually, when the bow string was caught, the lever and spring all fit neatly.

When you get here, attach the bow and some parts to the back and you're done.

The bow was made of a combination of wood and metal, but I decided to make it of metal that could only be forged. If I adjusted the hardness and elasticity with magic power, I would be able to find something close to the composite material.

Because it is a crossbow, it is said that it is a little stiff, or it is said that there is no problem even if it takes force to pull it.

Heat the sheet metal on a flame bed with fire in it, then tap and stretch the sheet metal on the flame bed. At this time, with the help of cheat, I will focus on elasticity rather than hardness and use it as a bow, while identifying the part that gets a little stronger.

Finally, make a notch to secure the string, and the bow is complete. Of course, before strings are strung and afterwards, the direction of turning is reversed... but I don't know much about it in its current state.

Attach the bow to the tip of the barrel. To prevent the bow from shifting up and down, I prepared a Ko-shaped metal fitting, but the metal fittings are D-shaped together. It was also made by tapping the sheet metal. This one is made with durability in mind. We also made several other durable parts.

Attach and secure multiple pins to the tip of the bolt along with the bow clip.

The D-shaped hardware jumps out from the tip of the barrel, which acts as an "abrasion" when pulling a string. You can pull strings and use instruments directly by stepping here.

"Excuse me, can you give me a hand?"

Yes.

I called out to Riquet. I can't do the work from here by myself, but it would be easier if I had some help.

Particularly strong strings that Samya used to make (tree deer tendons). Deer have longer legs than pigs, which means they have longer tendons). Now, you can do it by fixing the bow facing forward on the opposite side while turning it in the opposite direction, but of course, it's not like you can do it with half a force.

However, if I and my dwarf Riquet were to be able to do something about it, I would be able to do something about it.

"Okay, let's do it."

"Yes! Three, two, one!"

Pull timedly so that the bow is quickly vertical with one side tilted in the opposite direction.

The two of them put on weight and while I was holding back, Riquet fixed the string on the other notch.

Ooh!

Finally, I was able to attach a bow to the barrel. A crossbow has been completed in the form of a crossbow incorporating both the abrasive and the engine parts.

"Thank you very much, thank you."

No, it's normal for an apprentice to do his job.

Riquet laughed as I thanked him.

Well then, we're one step closer.

Isn't this finished?

Well, it's fine to say it's finished.

There are two or three more things to do.

I heat up the sheet metal again. It is shaped like a shoe holster that covers the area where the engine section strings are fixed.

Riket points at it and asks.

What's this?

“This is to make sure that you don't get too sloppy when pulling strings.”

I see!

Riquet's eyes glowed. If you pull the string between this shoe and the clasp, the clasp will strings well... and you won't even touch the clasp inadvertently.

At the end, I attach a small ribbon to the shoe compartment.

Ricky asked me again.

“What is this part?”

"This is......"

I caulked the hook-shaped parts on both ends of the slightly shorter string in the forge. I got something like a reed.

"Do this to me."

I stepped on the crossbow's paw and hooked the reins of the reins to the right and left on the string.

"And so..."

I caught the center of the rope part of the rope on a small crossbow. When I lifted it with both hands, the reins became M-shaped.

"I'll do it."

Pull up the apex of the M-shape. The strings were not so modest, but they were lifted lighter than expected. The point is that the part of my hand that serves as the pulley is pulling the string with a little less force.

I'll just pull up the string and dive under the shoelace. The strings are pulled and kept in shape as you gently release the force.

I took off the loose reins and tried to lift them gently, and the string was inserted into the concave shape of the clasp.

Now all we have to do is catch an arrow.

Ricketts and Ricketts clapped. I offered Riquet a crossbow.

"There are no arrows, but try it once."

Eh, is it okay for me?

I'm going to use it mainly, so I think it would be better if Riket tried it out.

Sure.

Riquet nodded unexpectedly. I'd like to try it, but right in front of me. You don't have to worry about it.

And now, Riquet receives the crossbow and hits the floor and tail of the musket bed against his shoulder. The right hand rests on the lever and the left hand holds the front of the barrel. "Bowgun" is a name that was originally a trademark in Japan, but it is exactly what we call a gun-like bow.

I'm coming!

"Ohh!"

Rikete declared that, and put her strength in her right hand. The lever released the clasp, and the string was released with a sound.

Binh, the sound of the string ringing unexpectedly resounded in the forge. In the meantime, it works as a crossbow. Mechanical durability is a lot of stuff.

How about that?

Awesome! I used it for the first time, but it didn't feel uncomfortable!

Alright then, let's try it out right away.

While putting my hand on Riket's head, which was shining with sparkling eyes and rough nose, I said with a bitter smile.
