Episode 177 Senna's Arm
Because I was a professional and mastermind, I thought I'd make it with my senses, but the opposite was true.
It was unexpected, but because I am a professional, I can convince you that I am firmly committed to the basics.
Let's make an amateur like me for now! But that's the opposite, I guess.
"Professionals with unsure fundamentals are unprofessional...
You're staring at the paper with a lot of focus because you don't hear my murmuring.
"... like this... no, I can't. This is too weak. How about this...?
As I say bumps, imagining what I can do in my head over and over again, I seem to be fixing it.
"Nil. Rat. You don't have to stay here if you're free, do you?
"I want to stay here.
I'm... going to play!
Nil stared seriously at Sena, who stared at the paper, and Rat ran out.
"Hmm... I wonder if it's like this.
That said, it was only a few minutes after Sena lifted the paper.
"I don't know if I can't make any more.
The shape is too special for my experience, so I'll try to make it a few times and fix it.
I saw the paper I lifted, but I was shocked.
A paper about the size of A4 is written with a scratch and a letter.
"Amazing..."
"This isn't enough. If it's true, it would be ideal to be able to imagine all the problems here... but we still do.
I'm the only one who thinks that imagination alone can do it, and that's the first thing that's out of common sense...
"Alright! The shape has been decided, and the next one is the material!
That's what Sena said, opening the double-open door in the back.
"There's a bit more dust here... than in the workshop.
How many times did you open it to put in the material? It has less dust than the workshop.
"If it's true, I'd like to clean this place... but for now, let's choose the material.
"If you like, I'll clean it up.
"Really?! Thank you, Nil!
"No! Don't worry, it's a tour fee! I'll take care of it!
"Nah, I don't know what to light up..."
I've never had Nil clean it, but Mr. High Spec Nil would have cleaned it perfectly.
Next to Nil cleaning the warehouse, Senna compares the various materials.
"What materials are you looking for?
"That's right... dare you, it's hard. This is an absolute requirement. On top of that, it is a material that is resistant to shock and has little wear. In other words, something sticky would be preferable.
Then… what we have here is that metal is preferable to ore.
"It's what you wear on the soles of your feet. That's understandable.
"All we need is a metal that's strong against the cold.
"Resistant to the cold?
"Some metals become brittle when they get cold and hard. When it gets cold, the spine breaks easily... how scary is that?
"I don't want to imagine..."
Any substance, not just metal, is basically chilled to the kin and crushed to pieces. I've watched videos like... putting liquid nitrogen in and crushing cold stuff one after the other.
Liquid nitrogen won't cool down as much, but many metals will be brittle if they do.
The knowledge around here is Senna's specialty. My knowledge is insignificant compared to that of Sena.
"When it comes to metal that stays sticky even when it gets cold... around here..."
Senna is looking at some metal, but I don't know what it is without expert magic.
"I see... this and this.
"Do you use two types?
"Yes, these two types make it tougher. I don't usually do that, but I found my father.
"Amazing..."
Sena's father realized the properties of the alloy on his own and developed it himself. It's about opening up one field.
"We couldn't find out the blend rate, so we checked it out and finished it. I'll go with these two this time.
Investigate the metal in Senna's hand with expert magic.
One is iron, which is common on earth.
One more thing...
[Coutium... metal commonly available on Ouka Island, Needle Ice Peak. High resistance to cooling.
"Because this metal is resistant to cooling, you mean to mix it in?
"Yes, coutium is cooling resistant, but it's not very hard. But when you mix it with iron, it becomes stiff with its properties.
Let's make it quick.
That's how I set the magic furnace on fire.
From that moment on, I felt that Sena's face had changed, and we couldn't keep up.
I don't know how much time I spent watching Senna's work, but I kept seeing Senna working in silence.
"Phew! Now we're in shape.
Prototype No. 1 will be completed in half a day while taking a break.
I don't know much about the blacksmith, but it should have taken me two days to make a knife.
I don't want to finish it or anything, and it would be wrong to compare it because the shape is completely different... It was obvious from my eyes that what I could do at this time was because it was Senna who was able to work efficiently while using magic.
"This is prototype number one?
I haven't finished the prototype I received from Sena, but it looks like it's already finished from me.
The part for attachment and detachment is shaped to be stopped by sandwiching the feet up and down, and it seems to be able to handle any shape using a chain.
"After all, it's hard to finish it in one go. Not at all."
"Eh? It doesn't look like that...?
"No, I can't. Then the thorn part will break right away. Too much attention to the detachment part.
Remember that material habit I told Mr. Singh about?
"Oh, there's a flow.
"Yes, the connection between this thorn and the main body didn't work. That's why I think it'll break right away.
So Senna pulls out the hammer and taps the spine a few times...
Pachinko!
Like I said, the spine breaks easily.
"See? Then I can't use this.
"Sure... but this is the whole shape, right?
"Hmm... I don't know... I think it's easier to pinch my feet back and forth than to pinch my feet up and down... next time I'll try to make it that way.
If you decide to make it, you will not forgive any compromise... or it will still take time to reach a satisfactory finish.
It's interesting for me to watch and learn so much… I'll leave this to Sena, and we'll do what we can.
In addition to Eisen, Nil and I leave the workshop to tell Sena about tools that might be needed, such as pickles and carabiners.
"What do we do?
"I want to make a heating magic tool, check the surrounding geography and monsters... and see if there are any signs of the Demon Squad.
"There was no trace of darkness in the ever-dark forest, was there? Are you really looking for Shiki Kawa...?
"It is also possible that it has already been acquired and stored. Neither Dark Hana nor Ice Hana... they are not blooming where people come close and can be avoided if they try to avoid the public eye.
But if you come here, there may be traces. All we have to do is look for it like a dish.
"I see.
I'll leave it to Senna to make the tools and take Nil and me and the rat that were running around to the foot of the needle ice peak.
"It's a mountain that looks many times more dangerous in the near future..."
Even from a distance, it looked like a cliff wall, but when I looked nearby, it even looked like it was turning upside down.
"Hmm... it's cold..."
As Nil releases his words, his white breath dissolves in the air.
I'm fine, but the singers seem to be in trouble.
Nil and I are wearing thick clothes, but we are no match for Rat's Mohmov.
"I was trying to find traces, but... it sounds difficult..."
When it reaches the foothills, snow builds up thin and the ground is frozen and hard.
There is no footprint in the frozen soil, and even if there is, there is snow on it and the traces disappear.
The closer you get to the needle ice peak, the more snow you accumulate, making it harder to find more traces.
"I can't..."
If you're a tracking professional, maybe you can tell, but I don't.
"I can't help it. Give up on traces and find out about geography and monsters.
"Yes."
I'll go see the monsters.
"It would be helpful if you could hunt some. You won't have to worry, but don't push yourself.
Yeah! Okay!
Rat answers and runs on thin snow.
"Nil and I will look into geography. Because of the wide range, I will write down the details on paper. Nil, paint the terrain.
"Yes, I understand!
Because of the harsh environment in the first place, monsters and small animals are almost invisible.
Buuuuu!
Occasionally, the wind that hits the mountain blows down. Rather than cold, it feels too cold and painful.
"Thinking of this climbing every day up to the third inning... that's amazing.
"I don't think that's a good idea.
"But... do flowers really bloom in places like this?
"Dark Blossom was a flower that only blooms in the dark, and Ice Bloom is a flower that only blooms in the cold..."
"Darkness was of a strange nature, but it kept its form as a flower. There were roots too... but this time... can we put roots on this ice?
"I don't know... Yoshiki Kawa is not normal. I don't think it's strange that it's blooming in such a place.
Looking up, there is still a huge mountain covered in ice and snow.
"Now, let's take a look around and gather some information.
Yes!
Thus, we checked the surroundings and worked hard on making cold magic equipment, and Sena hurried to make the tools.
After all, it took me a week to get everything ready.
"How about this?
"Oh, that's amazing! Perfect!"
When I looked at the tools that Sena had made, they made something stronger than I expected.
Everything is perfectly made, including Eisen, Pickel, Carabiner, and more.
"I can't believe I made this in a week..."
It seems that Sena is surprisingly fast herself.
I spent most of the day in the workshop, and he worked very hard.
"Thank goodness. I think I'll be able to climb the needle ice peak.
"Pickers and carabiners? I'm glad it wasn't that hard. After all, was it this Eisen...? This was the curve.
"I'm sorry I made you do that.
"Yeah, thanks for a great experience.
Perhaps you can apply it well to your future work, and I enjoyed it.
"Looks like we got something interesting.
That's how Angak shows up.
"Ah, Sena's arms are definitely superb.
"No, stop it, Mr. Sinya!
Even though it was a shiny and good-looking Senna just now, it turned bright red and illuminated.
This gap between Sena as a craftsman and Sena as a woman is probably one of her attractions.
"Are you ready now?
"Oh, I've finished my cold gear, and I'm going to do everything we can.
"... you want to go?
Angak asks me if I don't want you to head for the needle ice peak.
I don't really feel comfortable sending you into that steep mountain. If it's because of what I said I might... that feeling would be too strong.
"Sena, I didn't mean to wait here this time...."
Angak, who enters the needle ice peak almost every day, doesn't have to bother to get here. I thought you could wait here safely... but I didn't get lost in Senna's face.
"I'll come with you. There's maintenance on the tools, and there's something else we can do.
"You know it's dangerous, right?
"Yeah... but if it's for the sakura, I'll do that. Yeah, we want to do it.
Sena's face is very serious. Strongly speaking, it may pull back, but Sena is right.
If we go into the mountains, there is a good chance that we will be exposed to unexpected environments and situations, and if there is an abnormality in the tools at that time, we can do nothing and it may lead to a major accident.
We need Sena's hand.
"... okay. But in the mountains, follow my instructions.
"I know. We don't want to die either.
"... it looks like we've decided. What should I do? I can still go now.
"We're ready.
"We're fine, too.
"Alright, then I'll show you around.
I'll tell you what, if you take one wrong step, you're going to die. Never lose your mind.
That's how Angak pacifies the scar on his left neck.
The persuasiveness is different because it is a practical experience.
"I'll put a name on my liver.
This is how we finally got to the needle ice peak.
"Until the third integration, there is a path that continues with a slight slope. I'm going through there... only better than the other way around. Be careful, it's dangerous enough.
"Okay.
Well then, let's go.
With Angak at the forefront, we finally enter the needle ice peak.
Nil behind Angak. Behind it, Senna. It's me. Rato's turn.
I've arranged it so that I can cover it as soon as something happens to Sena. The quickest and lightest rat may seem the best cover for Senna, but the last rat is insurance.
Hiking, climbing, climbing a few times when I was a kid, was my first experience. No matter how high the status is, I'm not sure I can cover Sena and run out.
In that regard, Rat has the ability to run and climb almost vertical walls, and in the worst case scenario, Rat will cover it...
If Rats can't cover it... no, let's hope that doesn't happen.
"Yoo-hoo.
Angak gently climbs the mountainside of Needle Ice Peak.
Angak's path shows that there are no high walls that have to climb with a few steps, so it's easy to get through.
Nevertheless, it is also because of the body of the demon tribe, which is originally highly capable of exercising...
If I had been told to go the same way in my original world, I would definitely have refused.
"Hah... hah..."
No matter how demonic the body is, Sena is a woman and she is not training. He is desperately chasing Nil's back while breathing roughly.
Just a little climbing, the ambient temperature dropped, and it was cold enough that it would have been frozen if I hadn't made a cold suit.
"Are you okay?
The words that I vomited to hear about Sena turned white.
"It's okay."
Sena did not look back at my words, but only at them, and definitely did not utter a weak voice.
"It's time for the third!
I can hear Angak's voice from the front.
Finally, you cross a step to the chest to reach a slightly flat terrain. We managed to break through the third inning, all safely.
This is the third time...
Looking at the village, the houses are already small.
"That's all I can show you.
"Thank goodness. I'll do it myself from here on out.
"Turning a little deeper from here, there are strong uneven walls. From there, it should be easier to climb than on other roads.
"Okay.
"Be careful.
Ah.
After shaking hands and holding hands offered to Angak, Angak descends down the mountain.
"That's where the problem starts.
Looking up at the needle ice peak, there is no more relaxed path than ever before, a tall, long vertical ice wall that is light blue from white.
There is no part to hold hands on, but can people really climb? I want to hear it.
"It's an area that Angak hasn't even gone through before... let's see where Angak was talking about.
"Yes."
Moving along the mountain skin, starting with Nil, you can see places with severe irregularities on the wall surface.
"Probably here.
"I guess.
As Angak said, it will be easier to climb than others. But...
"I think we should change the climbing order.
As before, I was thinking of climbing with Nil as the lead, but the vertical wall gap was so high that I couldn't see it clearly.
There are also a few small bumps...
"Rato, can you get up there at once?
"Hmm... it's hard for me to climb this even if I'm a boulder..."
The height and ruggedness that rats can't do. That alone will tell you how much it is.
"Okay. Then I'll climb first. Put the rope down from the top and tie the carabiner to your waist. I'll pull it up if I can hold it somewhere.
Senna climbed first, then Nil. It's Rato's turn.
If anything happens, Nil and Rat will take care of it from below, and I'll take care of it from above, so Sena, calm down and climb.
"Okay.
In the first place, why don't you use magic to climb up like a hole in the ever-dark forest? Because I know it's dangerous even for amateurs.
Although the mountain skin is ice pickled, it is only made of ice and snow. If the wall collapses when you use magic and shock poorly... if a massive disaster like the magic of the Holy Spirit occurs... just imagine it and it's terrifying.
Essentially, we have to climb with a strict magic ban.
"Well then, let's go..."
I attach a rope to my waist. This rope might have been made of special materials or something, but... I don't know.
I put Eisen on my shoes, and I got a pickle for her.
