Ee, Teni Shippai? Seikou?

Yoichi set the home point of the planned "Allied Human Force Demonic Base" cut open with Minori, and [returned] to the northern border town of Coruso.

Oh, you've changed a lot.

Yoichi, who went out of Coruso's inn into town, raised his voice unexpectedly.

This town, where Alec was based, used to be only a small rural town, but it is being developed rapidly.

"There's a headquarters here, right?

Ah.

Yoichi nodded to Minori's question.

Close to the demonic realm, the town now houses an integrated operational headquarters of the Empire, the Kingdom, and the Allies of Humanity.

The northern border of the Empire, long to the east and west, is bordered by a wide range of demons.

This town, also located quite west of the vast northern border, was chosen as the integrated operations headquarters because Alec and Alana, the adventurers of the empire and kingdom, worked together in the past to trace the magic attack.

In the meantime, let me show my face to the Adventurer Alliance.

"Yes"

When she took Minori into the Adventurers Guild, she saw a woman giving instructions to her staff and her adventurers.

With crisp brown hair, red eyes and big breasts on her height, she looks like a girl at first sight, but a dwarf who has lived for centuries and is the Adventurer Guild Master who oversees the northern periphery of the Empire.

"Hello, Gisela."

"Oh, yoichi.It's not the first time. "

In response to Yang Yi's call, Gisela raised her hand.

"Sorry to interrupt, but what happened to the wood?You said you'd get a lot nearby, but how far did you stand?

Well, I already have it.

Gisela opened her eyes slightly to Yang Yi's answer, which seeped into her spare space.

"That's Celeste's knife.So, can I see it?

Wait a minute.

With the maintenance function of [Infinite Storage +], the monster could be dismantled, but with [Infinite Storage Ω], it was also possible to produce wood.

Incidentally, it is unclear whether the timber was produced with [infinite storage +].

I've never tried it before.

In the meantime, is this how it looks?

Yoichi picked a coniferous tree-like one from the felled trees, drained the moisture moderately, and sawed it into a 30-cm long 2x4 (two-by-four) material to remove it.

"Wow, this is...."

Gisela, who had the wood, watched carefully as she tapped and stroked the surface.

"I've never seen wood before... but it's so light, it's so strong.It's tougher than heavy metal, and it's harder to burn. "

A dwarf, she seems to be good at [analysis] and quickly discerns the properties of wood.

"But where the hell did you get this kind of wood?

It's the depths of the demon.

"Oh, my God! But then, it's hard to get a number..."

"Can we fill this town with logs at the moment?

Gisela said nothing to the answer.

"... it's too much"

And I told her to squeeze out Yoichi as I was stunned.

Yoichi further explains that everything from timber production to transportation can be done by his own hands.

"Well, I'm going to talk a lot with Jiji from the Civil Engineering Guild.You'll be in town for a while, won't you?

"Yes, if it's not here or at HQ, I think it's at the Smith Workshop or the Inn."

"I see.If you need anything, I'll let you know. "

That said, Gisella tried to leave, but immediately stopped and looked back.

"Oh, I see.Celeste and Fran are supposed to be here the day after tomorrow.My daughter seems to be here already. "

That was the last thing she said and left the guild.

"Really, Master...."

People were gathering from all over the continent.

However, not all personnel gather in this town.

As mentioned earlier, the northern border is wide.

Outside Coruso, integrated operational units will be set up and personnel will be distributed as appropriate.

"Yoichi, what are you going to do now?

I see. I'll show my face in the workshop. "

The people we gathered included master craftsman Sam Smith.

She had built a makeshift workshop and had already started working in the town.Of course, Sheehan is with us.

Really? I'll go to the teacher. "

"Okay."

Yoichi broke up with Minori, who had already arrived in the town and was heading to a workshop in Samantha.

○ ● ○ ●

Samantha used to give various kinds of magic to a slightly bigger warehouse in the town and make it a simplified workshop.

"Samantha, are you there?"

As they entered the workshop aloud, Samantha and Sheehan were working on box-shaped magic equipment.

It's about the size of a one-door fridge.

"What are you making?

When Yoichi called out, they glanced up and immediately resumed their work.

Then keep your gaze on your hands and open your mouth.

"For now, the equipment used during the ceremony....."

"the equipment and equipment necessary to use"

"Oh, my God."

Yoichi, who did not think it would be good to interrupt the work by asking too many questions, observed the device using Appraisal Ω .

"... I see, a device that turns magic into electricity."

"Oh, I see.That's Yoichi. "

While impressed, Samantha doesn't stop working.

"Well, if you say so, battery and converter."

"So you're using that device for the ceremony?"

"Don't let me. With this, you can use all the appliances you want."

After that, the work continued for about an hour and the test was to be carried out once.

Well, here we go.

Samantha casts magic on the magic team engraved in the device.

Say, you know...

Then the needle of the voltmeter connected to the device reacted.

"Oops."

There's no problem so far.

Samantha was a little chilly in response to Yoichi's exclamation.

The needle of the voltmeter starts to shake greatly.

"Akan, the voltage's stabilizing."

"I think we're almost there...."

The ceremony is in a few days.

Samantha's face was in a hurry as she needed to finish the equipment and increase production by then.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Yoichi stared at the intricate pattern depicted in the device.

"Hey, this is the place...."

And Yoichi points out a few points.

"I see... maybe that was the problem..."

After Yoichi's advice, the work was carried out again and tests were carried out.

"Success!

The voltmeter needle was stable.

"Yoichi, thank you!

"What, this is what the Goddess wants?"

[Appraisal +] became [Appraisal Ω], which improved the comprehension of appraisal results.

In addition, a magical formation that combines complex patterns and shapes is a kind of language.

Therefore, by working on the Language Understanding Ω , Yoichi fully understood the contents of the complex and completely new magical team, and then was able to point out the problems.

"Well, it's not as good as Samantha and Sheehan who made this."

All we can do is observe and understand what is happening.

It's a useful ability for them to start building a base magic formation.

"The three of us are in trouble all the time"

That's right.

The device was thus completed.

However, there are people who are not enough for the device alone.

"This is the power source... no, what about the energy source?

Completed is an energy conversion converter, not a generator.

We need an energy source to create the power we want to convert.

"Use magic stones.I would like a magic crystal if possible. "

"Magic crystal?

The Magic Crystal refines Magic Stones using Alchemy to increase the encapsulated Magic Density, and possesses more than 10 times the Magic by the same volume.

"With magic crystals, the amount of pure energy is quite large, but since there is a lot of loss at the time of conversion, it doesn't seem to be the same as a lithium-ion battery of the same size when converted to power capacity."

"Do you need a good amount?

"That's right. They want more than 10,000 machines on their own."

"10,000..."

"Well, I think I need about 1,000 magic crystals.I think the magic stone can handle the rest. "

So we have to mass-produce the equipment and mass-produce the magic crystal

"That's right. Well, it's like asking the guild for a man-sea tactic."

Her guild is the Alchemist's Guild.

"Ah, but the Magic Crystal may be available to some extent to the Adventurer Alliance."

"Adventurer Guild?

"Yes. Strong monsters have been lodging magic crystals in their bodies from the beginning.If this town is close to the demon, can we get a lot of surprises?

"That said, you want 3,000 spares?I don't think that's going to happen. "

"... yes."

"Huh?

Samantha and Sheehan looked at Yoichi in surprise and found a handball size black stone in his hand.

"This is a magic crystal!

Unlike magic stones, the surface was smooth and slightly transparent.

"What is that?

"No, the monster I just hunted while cutting down the tree of the demon."

Minori was mowing the grass, but the monsters in the depths of the demon were inherently strong.

"How many are there?

"Hmm, that's right...."

Yoichi looked around the workshop lightly.

"How long till this place is full?

"No, it's too much!?

The demonic depths are home to many monsters.

In addition, Yoichi did not deliver all the materials of the monster that he acquired from the previous monster group runaway (stampede).

Therefore, among the monsters that were defeated at that time, there were many individuals that contained magic crystals.

"Great! All we have to do is make about 100 prototypes and deposit them with the guild!

"Don't let me. Let's get this over with!

"Oh, wait a minute."

Yoichi waited for the two of them to get back to work.

"I have a suggestion for both of you...."

Yoichi looks seriously at the two people who tilt their necks suddenly and opens their mouths.

"Would you like to have sex?
