Nil is trying to hide her face from me, so I can't see her face, but... what kind of face did she have? I don't want to know what I want to know.....

”I-I-I-I might not be able to sleep today...”

Were you so scared...?

I'm sure there are things in the world that are better left unknown.

"I'll give it to Piltee and Nil." Use it however you like. ”

Thank you!

When Pilte and Nil receive you happily, they immediately write something in their notebooks.

I'll give it to Heine and Surakutan as soon as they make a new one.

Suratan will be used during research, and Heine often moves a lot for us, so there will be occasions when it will be useful to have it.

I'd better have it too, but at least my share is good for the last time.

"I can't wait."

"Fufufu. That's right."

Heine and Surakutan seem to be looking forward to it, so let's get them ready as soon as possible.

Also, I plan to make another extra bottle and send it with a letter to Ms. Hurina. If you write down the method of making it and send it to me, it will be because it is about Hurina, so it will start immediately.

However, because the metal used is gold and requires detailed work, it probably cannot be made in large quantities. In the first place, the aristocrat who can write will be the center, and it should be an object that can only be handed out to a limited number of people at a high price.

Well, if Hurina could take care of it, she'd do all the best.

Unfortunately, I can't tell Hurina about the other bow.

The reason for this is that it's so simple, it's a lot nastier than I expected.

Is this the training bow...?

Pilte is holding it in his hand and looking at the training bow that Nil and I have created. I wanted to be able to detach it from my hand, but it became quite difficult to produce, so it became a shape integrated with my hand.

I get the Chaga hand as a reward and put it on, so it's Nil that I use it.

The handles were made by shredding the outer shells of armor bear subspecies, and were made as small as possible to make them as light as possible, so there is practically no hand as a protective armor.

The main metal used is Lytium, which is also a choice because of its durability and lightness. Anyway, I made it so that Nil would not be restricted in movement when fighting, so it became quite small. In numerical terms, the total length is about fifteen centimeters.

Structurally, the archery trunk (yuzara) is folded, and when it is spread out, a small bow is formed on the handpiece.

Incidentally, the bow trunk is the main part of the bow. In other words, the arcuate part. If it is a normal bow, is it easy to understand if it is a wooden part?

I think that the training bow is probably a different structure than the one used by the man named Kokuyo, but I just want a weapon that can be shot at, rather than making a dark weapon, so I thought there was no problem even if I found out, so I fixed it on the outside of the hand. In other words, if you look at it normally, you can see that something is attached to the outside of the handpiece. It would be better to call it a simple folding weapon rather than a craft.

Also, although it is said to be foldable, it can be easily opened with one touch to the stone and easily stored with one touch! I couldn't make anything convenient. It was easy to unfold and store by hand. However, it can be expanded and stored with one hand, and it can be used in one motion, so it will be sufficient.

The pedestal part at the time of injection was made of leather as planned and made into a dough mold. The strings were made of hard thread used by the S rank monster, Arachne.

The strings can be pulled down and fixed, and when magic power is poured in, the fixture comes off and can be ejected. A bow gun would be a more correct expression than a bow. The structure around here is made of knowledge gained through cheating.

When it comes to the details, it was a lot of trouble to devise a pedestal part so that it would not get caught, but it could be shaped in a way that was difficult to grasp.

For the time being, Nil actually used it and made it while asking if it could be used every time, so there should be no problem.

There is still room for improvement, but it can be said that it has reached a level where it can be used as one of the weapons.

And then, when I said that the damn thing was ready.....

Simply, its power has become unusual.

Using the Arachne thread, we were aiming for an increase in tension, but... the Arachne thread was better than expected and had a very high performance as a bow string.

There is no power like when I threw a stone at the boulder, but when I tried to shoot a stone that was ten centimeters large, it fell on the surface of the tree trunk nearby.

No... it's strange that I should be comparing my own throwing stones... but anyway, it's more powerful than I expected.

I thought that I had made something bad... but if I hadn't made something other than Nil and handed it over, the technology wouldn't have spilled out. In the first place, it would be OK because it would be difficult to obtain the thread of Arachne.

However, when that happened, I made a weapon that could be used at an angle, so I wanted to try various things... With that much power, I could shoot arrows, so I made a few metal arrows that could be stored in my hand.

Smaller than an ordinary bow gun or arrow used in a bow, it also drops in power, but because of its extremely high lethal power, it has completed enough weapons to be a threat to the opponent.

When I'm with Nil and expressing my opinions, I really want to make it... no, don't say anything more right now. The structure itself is almost identical to the one that Nam's men showed us, and the materials are just different, so it won't be a problem. Maybe... I guess... yeah...

It feels smarter than you thought it would be, doesn't it?

"I thought I could do something even more sloppy, but that's not the case." It's kind of light. "

"Yes, I won't say that I don't feel equipped... but I won't get in the way of the battle."

I'm not used to using it yet, and it will be a hassle when I use it, so I need to practice, but it's a weapon that I can rely on a lot. ”

Nil is equipped with a left arm. It was the arm with the shield. If you attach your weapon to a waving arm, it will get in the way, no matter how light.

Because the handpiece is made to match Nil's arm, it is a weapon dedicated to Nil, and my arm does not enter at all.

Can you use it while holding a shield?

"After unfolding and storing, the work of pulling the string after injection must be done with the right hand, but since the injection can be operated by magic force..."

Nil quickly picked up the stone and set it on the pedestal, and set up a shield against the nearby tree.

Like this!

Pasch! Pasch!

Shoots a bowgun at the opposite timing to make the shield fall to the inside of the arm and level, flying the stone.

The stone bursts forth, and when it hits the tree, it runs into the trunk and stops.

Nil then immediately pulls the string with her right hand, returning the shield vertically.

"That's how it feels."

"I see... eh, that's a shame..."

"From the opponent's point of view, arrow shells suddenly flew from behind the defensive shield." If it's the first time, it's usually inevitable, isn't it? "

"In that sense, it could be called a weapon of supply."

"So..."



I was listening to you, but somehow you're looking at me.

"What's your name...?"

Name?

"The... name of this bow gun... puff..."

"No. Normally it's a bow gun."

"Why?! That's you!" I'm disappointed! I'm disappointed in the mega layer! "

"No... it's bow cancer." I'll give you a name...

"This bowgun has no you... right?"

Nope.

No, I don't think so.

"Why? What happened?!" Ahh! My sensitivity is on the verge of collapse!! "

"No. Sensitivity or mental breakdown?" Are you all right? "

"Guuuuuu! I can't solve it!"

I don't know what you're moaning about, but Surakutan is slapping the ground.

"Well, well... let's put aside Sura Tan for a while... Nil." How does it feel to actually equip and use it? "

"I see... it's light, it's easy to operate, and it seems to be fine."

If you change the squeeze stage, you can adjust the power, and I think it will expand the range of attacks considerably. "

"Good. I basically didn't use the flying props, so the pattern of attacks seems to be increasing all at once."

It's foldable, but it's a bow gun. Unlike magic, it doesn't glow before attacking, and if used well, it can attack the target unexpectedly.

However, unlike magic, there is also a weak point that the flying object is only flying by drawing a parabola, and since it needs time to pull and set, the firing is ineffective, and you will need to get used to it.

If you just throw a mold ball or bottle at an upcoming opponent, it would be faster to take it out of the waist bag and throw it with your hand. You need to think about where to use it and use it when you need to. It was better to think of it as an auxiliary weapon.

"Until you get used to it, use it actively in your morning training."

Got it.

"Don't forget to make a new arrow stock or something for your bow gun."

Yes!

"With this, we've achieved most of our goals." Starting tomorrow, let's focus on what we want to replenish. I've come up with a few new things that I think I can make, and I'd like to try them out. ”

I'll help you!

"Oh, please."

Yes!

"... that's right." Even from me... this. "

That said, the milky liquid in the bottle, like a triangular flask, was taken out by Surakutan.

"Whoa?! Did you do it?!"

It took quite a while, but it took shape first.

"What is it…? Is there a new weapon?"

"This is called emulsion." To put it simply, I wonder if it is one of the cosmetics. The effect is to prevent moisture from flying on my skin after washing my face. I don't know. Simply put, it keeps your skin clean. ”

"Do you want to cleanse your skin...?"

The women, including Nil, showed interest.

Actually, I asked Surakutan to make an emulsion.

I said that I could make it, but it seems that it was done much earlier than I expected.

Should I put this on?

“You can apply it after you've washed your face clean.”

If it's a corner, I'll try it now.

I'd like to try it too!

I beg you, I beg you!!

Apparently, as I expected, the three of them are also interested in cosmetics.

The three of them decided to wash their face before going to bed and apply emulsion, so they used it immediately. Three people take care of their skin while being taught by Sara Tan.

Peta-peta-peta, right?

“That's all right.”

It's working! Don't you think it's working?

"In the case of the three of you, your skin is already beautiful." I wonder if the emulsion will work to keep it in that state. It works all of a sudden because I used it! I don't feel that it will be effective if I use it for a long time. "

"I want to keep using it..."

"Yeah, that's right. If you have dry skin, you can immediately feel the effect..."

Nil, Heine, and Pilté have delicate skin. You may not be able to feel the effect noticeably, but... well, if you try to use it for a few days, you'll know.

"Sometimes it doesn't suit my skin, so if it doesn't suit me, just say it." I've made some. ”

"There are things that don't suit you, right?"

"The skin condition varies slightly from person to person."

I made it to suit everyone to a certain extent, but I'm new to it, so if you need anything, just let me know. ”

Got it!

The three of them are jerking off while touching their own cheeks, looking forward to what will happen.

"Well... it's time to go to bed." You'll be in town by noon tomorrow, won't you? "

"Yes. If I'm still safe... but...

We stopped by once when we came down south. I forgot my name, but...

It wasn't a very safe city, but I don't have the impression that it was very rough. ”

"It's good to stop by, but it seems like a good city not to stay too long."

“I see. I'm in a hurry, and I think it's better to leave the city without doing anything unnecessary.”

"All right. Everybody okay?"

"I don't have a problem." I have some ingredients that I want, so I think it's okay if I buy them. "

“I'm fine, too.”

It looks like Surakutan and Pilte are all right. There were no problems with Nil, and she nodded sideways.

"It's my turn and Nil's turn to watch today." Keep the three of you asleep. "

Well then, let me go to bed first.

Yeah.

After the three of them entered the tent, Nil and I sat in front of the fire and drank a cup of tea.

"... since then, the Effe has hardly spoken."

Looking towards the tent where Efe was sleeping, he spoke to Nil. At first glance, the entrance to the tent is open and the legs are visible, as you can immediately see.

"That's right. I don't mean to be silent, but even if you start probing from the conversation, it's unlikely to be boring."

"I was wondering if I could get some information... but even if I tried to extract information from people who were trained to do so, it wouldn't be easy... I was too good at seeing things."

"I think you're trying to determine whether you can trust us, but it's about time you asked for one or two pieces of information."

"I seemed to know a lot about Nil's demonic eyes, and I wish I could've just heard that..."

"Since the opponent is the opponent, I may have to deal with it with eagerness."

"I don't have time to sit here for a long time, but..."

I didn't know what was going on in the Demon Realm, but it wasn't like everyone was hanging around in their spare time. Based on the information we've obtained in advance, if Amazones and Hollow can do anything, they'll want to join us soon. Even if there's not much we can do, there's a big difference between having someone there who can handle it and not.

I want to get some information from the Effe before I get to the Demon Realm, but I need the Effe's trust, and I need time to get that trust. But I don't have much time... I feel like I'm in the middle of a dilemma.

"You have no choice but to talk patiently."

"I hear you've come with us to see us, but what can you trust me with..."

“Is there any criterion in her?”

"Evidence that we're trying to help the Demon King... hey." I don't think it's an excuse to escape... "

Effe basically stays silent all day and either responds briefly or ignores us when we talk. Like she said, I feel the gaze of watching us, but there is almost no action from the Eff.

In fact, we're moving to help the Demon King, so even if there are any judgment criteria in the Eff, I don't think you'll understand them, and I don't want to rush in. In the end, I guess we'll just have to stick together.

“I'm going to talk to you for a minute.”

Even though I'm being patient... I can't help but feel impatient, so I get closer to the tent where the Effe is.

"Ef."

………………

I'll talk to the Eff in the tent, but I won't respond at all.

“I know you're awake. Wouldn't it be nice to hear back from me?"

"... what can I do for you?"

“I was thinking of talking to you a little bit.”

"There's nothing to tell me."

"Shouldn't we talk about it without saying so? You said you'd observe, but you'd know us better, wouldn't you?"

………………

”... hah... are you going to go all the way to the demon world without talking like this?”

"... shit... what are you going to tell me?"

“If you're not going to give us any information, I'll tell you something else.”

"Something else?"

"It doesn't matter." Anything about Dark Elves. ”

"Why should I tell you that?"

“I don't think that's going to be a problem?”

"...... That's right. I'll tell you one thing."



The Effe is going to tell me something.

Apparently, you don't know what effect that gray-black crystal has on our Dark Elves.

…………

I think the reason why the Effe hates me is because of the grey-black torture. I didn't know much about the effect either...

"The magic power in that mineral interferes directly with our nerves against the Dark Elves."

Directly to the nerves?

"Our Dark Elves are highly sensitive to magic." Especially if you react strongly to things that are harmful to you.

However, the magic power of the gray-black crystal was very small. There is no violent reaction. Instead, your nerves become sensitive. ”

"Sensitive nerves?"

"... if that's all, there's no problem, but by trying to eliminate the magic power of the gray-black crystal, something unusual happens to our bodies."
