No Fatigue: 24-jikan Tatakaeru Otoko no Tenseitan

94 Throne Succession Rights Holders (3) Prince Ellens II

Prince Ellens's second prince's lab was on the banks of Lake Monocanus, away from his royal residence. Monocanus is situated on the southeast side of the sea, where the C-shaped lake connected to the sea separates the old town with its royal castle and aristocratic neighborhood from the new town inhabited by ordinary people. Prince Ellens's lab was near the inside end of this C-line, and a sandy state was seen separating the sea from the lake slightly to the left at the front.

That sandy state seemed to have a number of setbacks, if you look closely. When I enhanced my vision with the "Immortalist," I saw a scatter of black fragments and red sand in the middle of the cratered hole, but it was just too far away to know who that fragment was.

The sand state is thinner as you go to the left towards it, disappearing in the back. At that point, the sea and the lake are connected. Conversely, as we followed Sandzhou to the other side, the corner of the new city entered sight. However, from here on out, the water vapor in the lake got in the way and I couldn't see the new city clearly.

- Go ahead. This is my lab.

Prince Ehrens says that with a little pride and pushes open the door of a building like a brick warehouse.

Brother David and I went inside in a light meeting. That's narrow compared to the Dragon Knights stables, but it's a pretty big space. Would it feel slightly lower the ceiling of the gymnasium in the previous life, with one side of the wall wide open and overlooking the lake surface of the brilliant Monocanus lake at sunset? Ahead, there was a litter state of fragments, which I saw before I went inside.

But there was something more eye-catching than that in the lab.

Only one boneless and unlike object sits in a lab organized on several scales to represent the character of the owner.

That 's--

"... cannons?

Yes. What was there was a cannon with wheels. Would the caliber range from 30 to 40 cm and the shell length be about 2 meters? The design has a slightly retro feel from the feel of modern Japan.

"Well, you're interested, Edgar."

"Yeah..."

I nod to Prince Ellen as he says with his eyes sparkling.

"Brother, I saw your sister's work and you can't just look at mine." Because of this, let me tell you about my research. "

Prince Ellens entered the explanation without waiting for our reply.

"This is a magic cannon. It's a cannon that uses the fireball firepower to shoot shells out. There was a limit to the explosive power conventional gunpowder could get, but with magic, I could solve that problem. Let's do it."

That's what the prince said, bringing him something like a pot that was piled up on the wall of the lab, and putting it on the table.

"Hold me down."

As Brother David is holding down the pot as he was told, the prince brings another pot and pours its contents into the pot his brother holds. The contents were like red-colored sand.

"-Okay. Throw this in the cannon."

When the prince put the lid firmly on the kettle, he rolled the kettle from the cannon mouth to the inside.

The cannon opening is directed to the side without walls - the side of the lake and sand state, and the cannon body is tilted about thirty degrees. The shell was securely secured with a number of struts.

"The cannon casings are built to be just a little thinner as you go in the back. So the pot I just put in stops halfway through the shell. Then there 'll be room between the back of the shell and the kettle, right? You can shoot Fireball in there, both of you, with your ears blocked. … (Flame) · (Spread) -" Fireball "

While explaining so, the Prince activated "Fireball" quite handily. Looks like he laid his hands on the cannon and produced a fireball directly inside the cannon.

Don! and there was a loud bursting sound, while a pot popped out of the cannon. The pot popped momentum from the lab's wallless side towards the lake, drawing a beautiful parabola and landing a bullet in the sand state. A red sand smoke stood at the point of landing, along with the creaking sound of a boss. I guess the kettle cracked and the red sand that was inside splashed.

... I see the fragments and red sand you just saw were the result of Prince Ellen's experiments?

The lab walls are still trembling. It was much louder than the explosion Princess Irvara made earlier. Looks like a neighborhood annoying lab. If it wasn't the prince doing it, you'd be getting complaints.

"... and well, this is my research. Hey, David."

"I think it's a useful study. Because an explosion with gunpowder won't allow you to fly big shells this far."

I think the cannons of previous life could have given out a flying distance of how many kilometers, but there seem to be many hurdles that need to be exceeded, such as the type of gunpowder and the durability of the metal materials used for the cannons.

but in this world, that's fine if you honestly use magic.

"That being said, I'm just finally getting to fly around Sandy State. Conventional cannons would do better if they were just flying distance. I've been told by the Knights Commander that I can't stand pragmatism without at least enough distance to reach the new city across the shore."

Ha, and the prince sighed loudly.

Opposite shore. From here, even farther than the sandy state on the seaside. If the sand state is about 200 meters away, the opposite shore looks like another 20 meters away. It would take some sort of technical breakthrough to fit the opposite shore within range.

It's just that even the cannons I've tried before could have exceeded a range of 300 meters. So I think it's possible enough for Prince Ellen also to develop a level of magic cannon that can meet the demands of the military depending on future research.

Brother David says.

"Gunpowder is difficult to store, so I think there is a demand for His Highness's magic cannons that can be used as long as there are wizards. The Knights are old enough to escape stereotypes."

"... don't lift me too much. In principle, I have done nothing difficult. It's just a combination of cannons and an already known technique called Fireball. Like Sister Irvara, I didn't discover anything completely new."

Prince Ellens said so with his lips pointy.

The prince seems dissatisfied with his research. Indeed, Princess Irvara's spell letters may be better on originality. Most importantly, the possibility of being hired also means that Prince Ellen has a minute.

"Are you coming for the next king?

I heard something that Brother David had difficulty hearing.

"No way. I'm totally late, so it has nothing to do with the inheritance dispute. I simply want to achieve what I deserve as a future royal family. It's a matter of will."

That's what the prince says, but his mouth was going to regret it.

He was ill until last year and he couldn't fulfill his duty as a royal, so I guess he has feelings for himself.

"In my advocated behavioral museum, I look at the results and judge them, not the course. It doesn't matter whether the principle is innovative or not. The emphasis should be on what can be done by it. Your Majesty's magic cannon is a beneficial invention for the Royal Army of Santa Mana."

"I hope so..."

"By the way, how could a prince have chosen a pot, not a metal bullet? In terms of power, metal bullets seem better…"

When Brother David heard, the prince, who was a dark face, sparkled his eyes.

"Oh, the truth is, that's the second use of magic cannons. Magic cannons are more likely to add or subtract power than gunpowder cannons. If we use this, for example, to fill a pot with oil and poison and shoot it into enemy forces, we'll get more than one shot of shell, right?

"I see... that's a great focus"

"Right? The one called the idea of reversal. However, the problem is that the way the kettle is cracked is not stable. If the kettle is too brittle, it will crack in the air or in the shell. It can also happen that if you make the kettle sturdy, it won't crack the way you think it would if it landed. A critical strength that can withstand the first explosion, and that can definitely crack once it lands. This is difficult, and this past month has not progressed..."

The prince sighs and shrugs his shoulders.

Look at how such a prince is.

"... why don't we just keep the crack in?

Unexpectedly, I said polarity.

"You got a crack? But then you wouldn't be able to withstand the shock of the launch, would you?

Prince Ehrens has eaten up, so I have no choice but to answer.

"I guess that depends on the idea"

"Innovation? For example?

"Determine the side of the fall by skewing the weight and shape, and plant a trick there that will crack with the impact of the landing... or something"

Looks like it would be nice to have something like a simple detonator.

I think I can make a detonator tube of incendiary shells from World War II that I saw in the museum, thanks to the (mechanical engineer) who knows how the machine works once, but I'm just not willing to teach that much. The idea of filling the pot with gunpowder so that it explodes when it lands is also kept quiet.

Perhaps the Royal Army of Santa Mana should be stronger against another reincarnator, Hiroshi Pestle, but if you have more power than you need, you won't necessarily come out thinking about what you won't.

Truth is, I don't think my current tips were good either. In fact, Brother David, swallowing up the circumstances around there, is turning a white eye...

No, I was talking about technology, so I figured out how I could do it!

Prince Ehrens summed up his thoughts with a nod of hum, hum,

"I see! I just assumed the shells would have to be homogeneous spherical. Is this what David always calls stereotyping..."

I could hear a modest knock where Prince Ehrens was excited with his little nose inflated.

It was someone I knew well, too, who came into the lab with the prince's maid.

"Mr. Popols."

What showed up was Mr. Popolus, the president of the Popolus Chamber of Commerce, as the father of the maid Steph with me. I should have gotten great, but I'm still bending over and rubbing my hands.

"Oh, Ed Fong. You've met me in an unexpected place. Is Stef helpful?

"That's it already"

He is a great Magic Warrior.

I'm sorry I demonized your daughter, which means I've talked to her a long time ago, but she thanked me the other way for bringing out her daughter's talents.

Currently, he consults with his father to have the development of guns and other modern weapons secretly carried out at the Popolus Chamber of Commerce as a measure of reincarnation.

But why is that Mr. Popolus here?

"Oh, I've come to the right place. Quickly, Mr Popols, but I would like to try a new idea. I need you to talk to me."

Prince Ellens devoured Mr. Popols.

Prince Ehrens remains excited and explains to Mr. Popols that he will tease the distribution of the shape and weight of the pot, adding cracks and making it easier to crack.

Apparently, Mr. Popols is undertaking the production of a pot of bullets from Prince Ehrens.

"Your Highness, that's fine, but could I ask you a favor of Lord David?

Mr. Popols said as he looked at me and Brother David, who were running out of places.

"Ah... you did. The Ripper first."

Mr. Popols pointed me out and Prince Ellens looked like a bum.

"I guess that concentration is meant for court magicians, if it's supposed to be. Given your magical talents, it is unfortunate that your Highness is not in good health."

"Don't say it, Mr. Popols. I would have done that if I could. [M] I was tattooed by the court magic master to say that he was first class as a wizard."

"Because your body is important. Besides, it's a top researcher, so it's too much to hope for."

"So is that..."

Either the relationship you're requesting production from, or Mr. Popols seems to have a relationship of trust with Prince Ellens. I think we're talking a little harsh, but the prince's face is calm.

Still, you're a court magician. I wonder how many arms I can be.

When I lose my curiosity and wonder if I should use the [Devil's Eye of Truth],

"... the Prince is an operator who can use [Fire Magic] and [Wind Magic] while doing two things. Excellent at controlling magic, and multiple magic at the same time."

Brother David said that in a voice that only I could hear.

"I saw it. I could see you were doing that. I'm not saying don't look, but you should be a little more careful."

"... sorry"

I devoured my novel to Brother David and I whispered and apologized.

Still, [fire magic] and [wind magic]? So you're likely to be kansting [fire magic] and [wind magic].

Is that it? But right after I was reincarnated and woke up, Julia's mother was just [Fire Magic], right? So you're saying Prince Ellens is better when it comes to skills?

"There are very few wizards who can use multiple attributes. But just because you specialize in one attribute doesn't mean you're inferior to multiple attribute users. Julia's [fire magic] will certainly be superior to Her Royal Highness's [fire magic]. Unlike His Royal Highness, who was remembered for his magic in the classroom, Julia also has extensive experience in action. Ed, even Julia before she received the 'demonic modification' of what you call it, I'd say she was surely a better armed wizard than Her Highness. In fact, Julia has repeatedly been solicited to become a court magician."

My brother even read my mind again. I'm scared, this guy. How do you know that?

"How do you know, huh? After listening to my words, you were convinced for a moment, and then again, you became doubtful. And he looked like he was comparing it to something. From the flow of the story, the comparison you choose is likely to be close to you. Julia would be the most likely wizard to be named as close to you. Julia has [fire magic]."

... I missed you.

"... but if that's about it, Brother David would be a court magician too"

In fact, over the past five years, I have also applied 'demonic modifications' to Brother David.

Because it doesn't necessarily mean there's no danger when you just have to be my kin.

Brother David has been blessed with such a magical talent since he was a little girl that he has further developed his talent through my mentoring and masterclass magic skills.

Because of this, shall I show it to you?

Yeah. You overdid it. Now your brother is one of those members who can't show his status to anyone else.

"Thank you for fighting me. I learned magic mainly for research and self-drilling."

He doesn't intend to be a court magician to his brother. Well, I think my brother's a librarian for you, too.

While doing so, Mr. Popols has resigned from the lab and Prince Ellens has made him bring the Ripper (Ripper) -related materials to the maid.

"- Well, let's start talking about the case"

That's what Prince Ehrens said, and the first Ripper (Ripper) investigation meeting finally started.
