Invincible Saint ~Salaryman, the Path I Walk to Survive in This Other World~
103 The idea of a magic prop suddenly
It had come as far as the border with the Associated State of St. Shroud, to arrive in a day and a little time.
"If you don't feel like towing a carriage, a horse can run pretty fast."
"I've never seen a carriage with that much gravity reduction, either."
"Right. And I only came to the border in one day, but I've never felt a year so long."
"It's like that when you start unfamiliar. Now, when you crossed the border, you headed left for the Wall Herald, didn't you?
"Oh. I've got a good confirmation of the place, and I'm pretty sure that's what Dolan and Paula said."
"I wish there was a village or something nearby..."
"Well, no, but... and, uh, there's a lot of demons over here,"
In front of me, the lizards and serpents were intimidating each other as they stopped going, but when they noticed this one, they found out that they were starting to be wary of this one.
"Perhaps this left-hand valley will make it so."
Lionel was so calmly analyzing that I took St. Dragon's spear out of the magic bag.
"Then I guess we'll fight with horse spears right as the lecture suggests. Please, Forenoir."
"I'll have the spear again this time"
From the side of him talking like that, there was a cat beast man running through at considerable speed.
"I'm going to fight because I'm bored."
Me and Lionel, we met face-to-face, followed Ketty into battle.
Grab the reins to the left, change the spear to both hands at a moment different from the demon, and pinch the horse with a gutter at the knee to secure it.
In order for Forenoir to read the target's attack, I concentrate on just one point of the demon and poke him with a spear.
The timing is exquisite, but just a lot harder than fighting on your own feet, passing by the demons without being able to defeat them.
And by the time I called it back, it was already after Lionel and Ketty slaughtered it away.
"Burrough."
I apologize and stroke the slightly discouraged Forenoir, and then I go back to you two.
"I can tell because Katie is proud of her handsome feet, but why is Lionel so..."
"He was still a general. I've already had over thirty years of experience with spears since I was ten years old."
Lionel never lit up, looked a little docile and then laughed.
"Master Lionel has never been unconscious on a horse."
From that quick move, Ketty had concentrated a little piercing of the lizard brain where there were a few, burying the demon.
"Really... so why did you jump off the carriage?
"I was free. I've been jitting for the first day, but I'm here today to get permission to go outside."
"... maybe you don't like hearing magic talks anymore?
"Chi, no... no. Weird spells are already spreading. If I were there, I'd be mentally fucked."
"Then I should have replaced your man with Keffin, right?
"Take a good look at Keffin. Even though you're a man, you're looking away."
When they said that and turned to Keffin, he did have a long shot.
"What about Doran?
"I'm happy to have friends with my grandchildren, and I'm a complete favorite."
............... I'm sure you're not going to find many friends who talk about magic props looking for them.
"You're not gonna change the pace, are you?
"No problem. If you get tired, you can go back to your place or you can go back to your place."
The tension slowly dropped. I allowed Katie to stay outside.
By the time I ran my horse for about an hour and saw the streets, the valley was moving away a little bit and the forest began to spread to the left.
"Some demons live in these woods and stuff, so you have to be careful."
"Well, this is already a St. Shroud's country, so there's not much powerful demons out there."
"I'm in trouble because that's not absolute..."
Nothing is demonic but being on earth.
Sometimes there are surprise raids from the sky or demons that appear from underground, so you can't rest.
That's where I thought.
If you had a demon detector that could tell the demons, wouldn't you have to worry so much?
When I asked if I could make it during the lunch break, the three of them hardened.
"That hand fits!
"Flashing genius!
"If you can do that, don't be frightened of demons, people may live."
That's what the three of them said, and a lot of jargon flew out of it, and they totally drove me out of the mosquito net.
"... it doesn't seem strange when a country comes out for military use any day."
Lionel muttered so potpourrily.
"Still, I think it depends on who uses it."
Ketty looks away and takes her gaze first.
"Let us prove to you that Luciel is trying to make peace."
That's what Keffin told me as he made his fist.
I wasn't thinking about military use at all, and I was left thinking about Lionel, but I was finally able to reboot here.
"But it wasn't like Doran could cook"
Doran, who should have been discussing demon props to my whine, has been coming next to me at some point and tells me why.
"I tried so hard to get Paula to grow up."
"I see... that's why Paula never remembered to cook, but became a magician"
"............ I'm reflecting, but I only have a little regret"
He's doing a little.
"... one of these days when you add vegetables, you're going to develop a demon prop that you can cook on your own"
"?! Still a flashing genius!
"We'll definitely have to build that!
Actually, Lissian can't cook either, so the two of us ate better than earlier.
"Do you have any ideas?
"I don't mind any trivial things."
"What? Mm-hmm... I guess if I put ingredients in it, for example, I'd go through the recipe process in order.
It's a little different, but if you can skip moisture under pressure after rapidly freezing the dish, maybe you can make something like an emergency meal that can be returned with hot water.
When still making dried meat, I suppose salt and spices prevent rot and dry it and use it for soups, etc., and if that technique can be established, just add hot water back and you can eat delicious dishes?
I don't know if I can reproduce it in this world by describing the freeze-dried foods I saw on TV in my previous life, but I thought it was worth a try and suggested it to both of us.
"Demon detectors and preserved food... still genius... or..."
"Paula, we just have to rally each other's skills to build it up."
"Okay. Even if you can't cook, just pour hot water and cook. This is a human dream."
"The world will change."
As they joined hands, they exchanged stiff handshakes and started talking about the magic props again.
When I was released there, Lionel and the others looked surprised.
"... what?
Everyone was looking at this one too closely, so I decided to just ask.
"I didn't expect to use the miracle light at that young age to come up with the idea of not being attacked by demons from people and to conceive of demonic props that can preserve dishes over the long term..."
Unlike usual, Lionel's voice was slowly dwindling as he headed toward his verbal butt.
"When it's done, I want it too."
Ketty laughed unconsciously because she was as imaginary.
"If you have any ideas for weapons or protective equipment, let me know."
Doran wanted some interesting idea of the concept, even in blacksmiths.
…………
At the end of the day, only Keffin stared at this one with a hot eye.
Is this... Did you give him the magic bra that Dran and Paula stripped off and the magic pants that work with the set gear when Keffin and the others failed to raid the Healer Guild?
"I'm sorry, but I don't care."
"Huh?"
That's apparently not what they said, because they replied in the face.
"... why are you looking at this one so much?
"What... No, I was just realizing I had one goal."
… a goal.
I'm glad I made a mistake because my spine was so freaked out.
"Then it's good. Come on."
"Yes."
Keffin nodded happily.
We had these conversations, and after the lunch break, we started moving back to the city of Rockward, where the techs gathered.
