My 【Repair】Skill Became an Almighty Cheat Skill, So I Thought I’d Open Up a Weapon Shop

Episode 529: First Class Mechanical Engineer, Alexia Part II

"Luke, this is why I called you. I really need your help."

"To me...? [Repair] Do you need skills"

"Yeah, technically, that's the application."

A depiction is added to the drawing on the blackboard.

First, lines are drawn to protrude a few short bars into the ceiling (sora) of the fourth hierarchy, so that they can be hung thereon, and banded shapes parallel to the ceiling (sora) are added.

"The light sources in the fourth tier are flames and lava in the surrounding area, and unlike the first and second, the ceiling (sora) does not emit light or heat. If you don't, you can't even get close to the bottom of the big hole."

In the course of the once Demon King's War, I was captured by Julia, who was modified by the Dragon Man, and danced in the first tier of the air.

At that time, Garnett stuck to Julia's tail in an attempt to help me, and she was beaten to the ceiling (sora), which emitted tremendous heat and light, and followed the burns.

If the fourth tier was the same as that, it must have been too much to even use the big hole for the travel path.

"We'll use that to create a suspended aerial passage. Ideally, sidewalks for human transit should be combined with tracks (rails) for the transport of supplies. I don't think there's anything in the way of either one of them."

The adventurers follow us.

Alexia's proposal is to extend the aerial passage along the ceiling from the edge of the great hole to the wall, from where it goes down to the surface by means of stairs and elevators.

Indeed, this would bring the risk of accidental contact with demons, including dragons, to unlimited zero.

If we were to hit a passage set at this height, it would be the first thing that would normally be impossible because it meant that we were taking a path that would clash against ceilings and walls in the first place.

"He said that if we set up a front-line base for exploration on the wall, we could also get it safely straight from the big hole. I see. This is an interesting idea."

Contrary to his fellow adventurers, Theodore listens with interest to the explanation in a calm manner.

"But isn't it pretty difficult to build?

"Yeah, well. Positive attack is possible, but it takes a lot of time and effort to be clear. You will not work under the threat of dragons."

Alexia surrounded herself in circles as she twirled the base part of the diagram of the air passage, not covering up the true meaning.

"Especially when it comes to locking the foundation into the rock bed of the ceiling (sora). If you don't think about combining special skills, scaffolding from the surface one place at a time can be a struggle to dismantle."

"... oh, I see. My skills are being used."

Exactly. Being a party, I immediately understood Alexia's intentions.

Alexia also grins and laughs, continuing to explain in detail to adventurers other than me, including Theodore.

"Yeah, that's right. Luke, you made it at the behest of a certain favorite aristocrat before. It's the same principle as pulling (...) out (...) a sword (...) pierced a pedestal."

"One of the applications of [restoration] skills is [fusion]."

Normal [synthesis] is a complete blend of two or more substances and ties them together, but daring to stop them on the way can create a state in which the two objects join together while retaining their prototypes.

In short, the case Alexia mentioned is a typical example.

The seeding of a method of making a sword pierced by a pedestal means that only the part of the stab was [fused] and joined together, leaving the pedestal and the sword in one while maintaining the prototype of the other part.

"Usually wearing a hole in the rock bed to secure the anchor bolt is a lot of work. But, Luke, your [fusion] will make it surprisingly easy."

"All you have to do is stick your struts up against the rock while you work your magic."

"You don't need a lot of scaffolding as long as you reach it. Sir Theodore says he can walk in the air with his skills, so he's also an assistant."

I accidentally laughed bitterly at the courage to treat an A-rank adventurer, also a high-ranking nobleman, without hesitation.

Though I guess Theodore is the one who undertakes to shake his head slightly vertically.

I threw another question at Alexia, imagining Theodore's reaction.

"I hope that's a good way to hang the aisle from the ceiling. The current front-line hub would be the dance floor at the lower end of the spiral passage that runs longitudinally through the big hole. There's still a little distance from there to the edge of the big hole, and isn't it a struggle to stick a strut up the ceiling?

"That's a good point. The strut is a steel strut about the size of a fairly long spear, and it's too dangerous to have it handled by a hanging. So I'm going to briefly explain the overall construction procedures."

Alexia also added a wall of underground space to the previous diagram and wrote 'Exploration Base Construction Site' directly beneath it.

"It's a lot harder to create a passage with a big hole as the starting point, so that reverses the order. First, we built a base, and then we built something to the ceiling, and then we built an aerial passage from there to the big hole."

The descriptions are added sequentially.

This doesn't have to start with curvy aerial work.

Both the base and the means of travel from the base to the ceiling (sora) are essential, and the equipment must definitely be built regardless of the order.

"Of course not, Luke. I'd like to borrow your skills."

"That's the same as when you were at the Hollow Bottom Fortress. I'll tear apart and move the equipment I've built on the ground, hang it up [repair] locally and assemble it instantly... this is the best place to go if it's dangerous"

If you can metaphor it, it is the construction method of a bottle-shifted procedure that assembles the model in a large glass bin.

So far, it's the only means I can do, and it's one of the achievements I can brag about with my chest up.

"Yeah, do it that way, please. Personnel will be asked to head down the rope for the first time, as is traditionally the case, and the transport of building materials and stuff... well, let's throw it off one end. From the edge of the big hole, like this, it seems."

A diagram is drawn of a deformed human throwing down a building, filled with laughter among adventurers and mechanics.

Yeah, and I couldn't help but laugh at it when I thought I'd paint it, but it's not wrong at all as a method.

Because I can instantly fix the damage caused by throwing it off, beyond the assumption that I will make full use of my [repair].

"Well, that's the overview. Any questions?

Alexia smiled confidently as she turned to us.
