Ee, Teni Shippai? Seikou?

Episode 19 Procurement of Amateur Weapons

Thirty days have passed since the demon king's proclamation.

Yoichi, can you hear me?

"... nh, alana?

Yoichi, who slept alone in the large bed of "Grand Court 2503", was woken up by a sudden story.

The exchange of words using [Language Understanding Ω] and [Appraisal Ω] in the example is called "Mindfulness Story".

It was not only spoken from Yang Yi, but also set [Appraisal Ω] to convey the intention to Yang Yi when the members of the tokoroten strongly called, so that they could communicate completely in both directions.

(Alana, what's going on?

(I'd like you to come.)

(All right)

When Yoichi [returned] to Rosanna's room at the Integrated Operations Headquarters, Rosanna and Alana were there.

"I'm sorry, did you just call me...? Did you sleep?

"What? Oh, no, nothing..."

"You're sleeping badly.

With that, Alana walked towards Yang Yi and stroked her head several times.

Did you use magic or magic? That's all I could do to fix my sleep.

"I'm sorry I woke you up asleep."

"No, don't worry about it.What do you want to talk about?

"Oh, that's from Rosanna."

Alana prompts Rosanna to open her mouth.

Yoichi, we're getting more soldiers than I thought.

"Soldiers?

"Hmm. Thanks to the footage you guys provided, at the current pace, it's going to eventually reach 2 million."

"... that's amazing."

It is inherently a pleasure to see the front-line's power increase.

The thicker your formation, the more you can prevent the encroachment from the demon.

"It's just not going to be a good thing."

"Can you keep your feet together?

"No, most of the volunteers plan to set up positions as engineers."

So, you don't have enough supplies?

When people gather, they will need more food, weapons, shelter, household items, and other amenities.

Arranging it is also a difficult task.

"Food, equipment, and defensive gear are promising, but I need weapons...."

"Most of you will be engineers, right?

"Ah. In any case, we'll need a self-defense weapon."

Even if they do not actively participate in the battle, their most likely destination is magic.

It's a place where monsters don't know when or where to attack.

The presence or absence of a weapon may cause death or death.

"You can have as many sticks as you want.

The [Infinite Storage Ω] still contains a large amount of magical wood.

Among them were some stiff and heavy trees.

"Yoichi, clubs, maces and other blunt instruments are hard for amateurs to handle."

Alana breaks in.

"Really?

Unlike swords and spears, blunt instruments that are quite powerful even just by swinging are quite popular among adventurers in terms of maintenance, and Yoichi also had such recognition.

"Ah, well, if I hit the wall with a metal bat, my hands would feel like jean."

That's what Yoichi thought.

The blunt force attacks have a considerable impact recoil.

If you're a regular trainer like an adventurer, it's hard to treat amateurs who are inspired by the video.

"Of course, it's better to have a club than nothing, so I'd love you to make a club.I just want a sword or an axe if I can. "

"A sword or an axe..."

In Rosanna's words, Yoichi roared small.

I could cut out as much wood as I wanted, but I couldn't work with metal.

I tried to cut wood out of an iron ingot, for example, in the form of a sword or an axe, but I couldn't.

It's unclear what the lines around here look like, but it's probably the part where even the skilled administrators don't know.

"That's why I came to talk to you."

Yoichi visited Ed, who thought he had no choice but to borrow the help of the earth, as no one else in the other world was in a situation full of hands.

"A melee weapon....."

"Yes, I want it quickly and in large quantities."

"Hmm. It's amateur stuff that can be produced in bulk, like machetes and tomahawks."

The military machete this soldier used to break into the mountains would be a good substitute for the shortsword.

And Ed's Tomahawk is a firefighting axe that Alana used as a weapon when she was dealing with a gang in a casino town.

A fire axe that can be handled with one hand would be good for amateurs.

"Should I gather it?

Ah, no, that's not good enough.

Weapon made of this metal, which does not contain magic, will be very powerful against monsters from other worlds.

So Yoichi decided to accommodate the iron from that world and have it produced at our factory around the world.

Well, let's hold down a few factories.

"Thank you!

We managed to clear the issue of the weapons supplied to the surge of soldiers.

Fifty days after the demon king's proclamation.

The excavation of the planned enchanted base has been completed.

At present, the average depth of artificial lakes is about 18 meters, and the minimum target has been reached.

"We're going to compress the surface from here and then push it outwards, so we're going to be two or three meters deeper."

Yoichi nodded satisfactorily in Minori's report.

Now this place is just digging holes and removing dirt and sand.

We poured water here into the lake, but if it stays this way, much of the water flowed into the bare earth and sand, and the shore collapsed.

So we use magic to compress the soil and prevent flooding while strengthening the lake bottom and shore.

"What do you do after consolidation?It's like concrete. "

"No, I'm fine.It's not the level of compression Yoichi thinks, maybe. "

"Really?

Yoichi came up with a scene that was often seen in road construction, such as crushing and consolidating the ground with weight like a road roller, or beating and consolidating with a vibrating plate compressor.

"That's right... maybe it's faster for you to take a look at it?

Minori, who was lightly lying down and thinking, raised her face with her glasses in a quick fix.

"Yoichi, can you take out the soil that is stored appropriately?

"Huh? Oh, yeah."

From [Infinite Storage Ω], pull out a pile of soil that had been collected.

A mountain of earth just above Yoichi's back appeared.

Well, here we go.

When Minori reached for her hand and activated her magic, the earthen mountain began to compress towards the center.

And in less than ten seconds, it was big enough to be lifted with both hands.

"Oh... about a tenth?"

With that said, Yoichi is poured into a hardened lump.

"... this is more of a rock than a lump of earth."

Although the surface was a little rough, the texture was completely rocky.

With this, the water will hardly soak in.

"Hey, I want you to try one."

"Fine, what is it?

Yoichi, who had Minori's approval, once again came out of the soil pile.

And around the center, the rock that was born from the earlier compression is embedded.

"Can you compress this?

"Yes"

When Minori performs magic, the soil is compressed and the rock is formed in the same way as before.

However, because he had another rock in the middle, it had doubled in size.

"Oh, it looks like it's totally one rock."

Upon [appraisal] of the finished rock, the boundaries of the newly formed rock surrounding the central rock and the surrounding rock were bound by powder and particles.

"... this looks like it could be used."

Yoichi murmured as he gazed at the rocks that had been raised.
