Transported to a hyper-realistic RPG.

Lesson 678: Prosthetic Hands…?

You can think of me as Soinujaf's handkerchief, right?

“That's the most reasonable.”

“So… while you're watching us, you should stay in a luxury place.”

”Hah... I guess I'll have to keep dressing like this for a while...”

I sigh when I see what I look like.

A butler's clothes that don't go too far.

I used to wear a suit as a social worker, but I can't help feeling cramped because I've been dressed in rough clothes since I came here.

"Oh, I wonder if you don't like it?" Sinya-san in that outfit is lovely, isn't she? My glasses look good too. ”

I see? I can only feel it in the way...

“Very nice!”

Nil responds to my words with an odorous response.

By the way, Nil sat down. We're in a carriage...

Oh, is that so?

Yes!

Nil could only hear her voice and her expression was unknown, but she definitely looked serious. The voice color conveys it.

”Hmm... if you say that much, I'll put up with it for a few days...”

I'd be glad if they told me I look good on beautiful girls. If you can tell me this far, this stiff outfit might not be a bad idea.

Surrounded by Soinujaf's men, you may feel too optimistic, but being wary of the odds makes Soinujaf's men suspicious. It is better to hold on to it with such ease.

So, we spent two and a half days there, Pilte as Visca, and we played our part.

Life under constant surveillance was very unsettling, but when we managed to put up with it, after two and a half days, the signs disappeared from our surroundings, and the foe who had been hiding all along came back to us.

There were people watching us around, so they didn't notice us, and they were watching us.

It seems that Fufu also thought it was better not to put his hand on it poorly. He just asked how the other person was doing, and he didn't do anything more.

The opponent was completely unaware of the EF, and it seemed that it was [an easy job], as EF said.

Well...... Effe is a black dog, and Black Dog is a professional in secret. The opponent is too evil.

Did they all leave the surveillance?

When I asked Effe...

"Yeah. Definitely."

He answered with a confident voice.

Somehow, Soinujaf's suspicions cleared up, and it was only three nights later that I was finally able to return to Sidorba's workshop.

"I'm home..."

"Ah! I'm back!"

Shurna was the first to greet us.

It seems that we were doing the store number, and because we showed our faces to the store instead of the outside stairs, they immediately responded to us.

"Where have you been for three days?"

"A little bit of a lot." How are the Shurnas doing? "

"Yes! Thanks to this, the work is perfect!"

Shurna makes us look happy with the leather gloves we gave her.

Even though it was about time I got used to my hands, I felt itchy when I saw that my eyes were still glittering with joy.

It was a fair price, but I didn't expect you to be happy so far. I can't think of anything that would have been good, but whatever I gave you, Shurna would have been equally happy. When I think about it, I'm very satisfied with the gift.

"Looks like you like it a lot, and we're happy too."

Yeah!

Shurna responds with such a bright smile.

"Ah! More than that!" I got it! "

That said, Shurna's fingers showed the direction of the workshop.

"You did it... with your prosthetic hand?!"

"Heehee!"

Without a clear reply, Shurna puts her hand on her waist with her chest open.

Apparently, the prosthetic arm I was going to give to the Effe was completed.

"Oh, you're home."

At that moment, Sidorba puts her face out from the back.

Your arms, your hands, your face, they're all covered in soot. Besides, even though the sweat is seeping into her clothes, which would be quite disgusting, Sidorba still has a face with a sense of accomplishment somewhere.

"Come back inside."

Siddharba said just that and went back to the back of the workshop.

Shurna went to the back of the workshop to get to it.

Are you very confident? The two of them were not able to suppress the snarled corners of their mouth. I must have made something pretty good.

When I went to the workshop with great anticipation, there was no strange performance at all, and the prosthetic hand was placed on the desk in front of me.

How about that!

What does it look like...? A piece of metal that looks like a prosthetic hand.

It is not a prosthetic hand that reproduces the shape and color of the original hand, but a prosthetic hand that emphasizes functionality. I didn't dare to recreate the shape and color of my hands because I was talking with Efe and Sidorba about how they looked.

The color of the prosthesis is matte black. The metal plate covers the surface, and the gauntlet may be closer than a prosthetic hand.

However, unlike the gauntlet, the function seems to be to just hold hands and open them. You may think that's all, but I know from what I know that it was impossible to actually make it, and I can see that it's quite something.

A little bit of a prosthetic arm, but it was acceptable.

You've made it with a lot of love.

"I included all my requests." Perfect. ”

The request I made was a mechanism whereby my hands would be opened by shedding magic power.

I can think of a mechanism, but I didn't have the technology to shape it.

In that regard, Sidorba is a blacksmith. It is not said that it is not difficult, but it would not have been so difficult to create the mechanism itself.

However, it is not the case that it will be lightweight and miniaturized. However, compared to other prosthetic hands, it is a little bit thick, but it falls within the scope of prosthetic hands (Hanchu).

“Thank goodness. I'm glad we asked Sidorba and the others.”

"Wait, wait, wait. This is not over."



"What do you mean?"

We question Sidorba's words.

I can't say anything because I have only seen it, but I think there should be no problem with the strength and weight. If Sidorba and the others were artisans, they would be thinking about the area first.

I haven't confirmed the practicality yet, so is that what you're saying? Do you want me to use it to determine if it's good...?

Gacha

Thinking like that, Sidorba takes the prosthetic hand placed on the desk.

I heard the sound of metal bumps, and handed the prosthetic hand with a clenched fist to Efu.

"What?! Light?!"

It seemed to be so light that the Efe stretched out his voice unexpectedly.

"Will you let me hold it, too?"

"Ah, ahh..."

I'm also curious to hold Effe's prosthetic arm in my hand.

"Huh?! Light!?"

It may be overstated to say... like a feather, but it's much lighter than it looks.

It's unusually light...?

"That's because there was a Weyburn material in the material I got."

"A Weyburn material? Did you get this material from Weyburn?"

"If we don't process the Weyburn material as it is, we can create a light and durable material. In order to do that, you'll need a fine wing membrane and skin."

Skin? Not scales?

"The skin under the scales. Skin. It's a less used material, but if you can work it well, it'll harden like metal. However, the weight remains light without so much increase. I mean, it's a pretty useful material.

It was also made of Rock Turtle. By successfully combining the two, it becomes a light and durable object. "

"I've never heard of such a story."

After hearing Sidorba's explanation, Heine looks at her prosthesis with a surprised expression on her face.

"It's a technology passed down from dwarf to dwarf." You don't have to know. ”

"Is it okay for us to talk about such an important technology?"

"It doesn't matter." If I had taught you how to make everything, you wouldn't be able to make the same thing. ”

"Are you absolutely confident?"

"That's how hard it is to process Weyburn's skin." Even we dwarves can fail.

If there's still someone who can make it, I'll honestly praise you. "

"Isn't technology something you can learn overnight..."

"We're professionals. Customers pay because they have skills no one else can imitate. On the other hand, if you get the money, you have to acquire a skill that no one can imitate."

Answering The Craftsman made me want to applaud unexpectedly.

"Certainly, if you say that this lightness and strength are enough, there is no such thing as complaining."

"Yeah, I didn't expect you to make anything like this. My attack is faster than the weight, so I said I wanted you to keep the weight down as much as possible, but this might be lighter than your original arm.”

What Efu is saying is not a great omniscience, but it is really that light. Sidorba's technical prowess is off the hat. But…

"Not yet. That's not all."

"Isn't that all...?"

As Sidorba laughs, she squeezes her prosthetic wrist and turns it.

Gashan!

Then, the tip of the wrist retracts and a metal dagger appears instead.

"Oh, seriously..."

Speaking of prostheses... I had no idea of such mechanical tricks, but I didn't think I could build them.

The dwarves' technology was excellent from the original world's perspective, and it was very impressive, but the technology of the world as a whole was still strong. That's why I thought I wouldn't be able to make mechanical things like this... but apparently I was watching the Dwarves sweetly.

Besides! There are three features in all!

As Sidorba turns her arm in the same direction again, the hook appears. It is in the same shape as the arm of a certain captain appearing in Peter .

However, rather than referring to a weapon, it seems that it is assumed that it will be hooked somewhere, so it may be more correct to explain the role like a pickle used when climbing.

"I asked you to remove the tip of your hand so that I could replace it... but I didn't think it was in the shape of an arm..."

Apparently, the Effesters wanted to change it to various shapes. It seemed to have been sublimated in this way.

"If you plant it inside, you don't have to carry it with you." It was quite a hard work, but you managed to do it. "

"I don't think this is at that level anymore, but..."

Suraitan is right.

Although the role of the prosthetic hand has been fulfilled, it has become a substitute that can no longer be called a prosthetic hand. No, as far as we are concerned, it's very much appreciated because the attack power of the fighter will be greatly increased... After all, in a world where swords and magic are commonplace, the craftsman's way of thinking is also very different from the original world.

"Now I think I've answered your request."

"Yeah, it's the best."

The Effes seemed to be satisfied.

"Just don't overdo it with the blade."

I could trust it more than a regular iron weapon, but it was more brittle than the body of my prosthetic arm to keep the weight down.

If you shock hard from the side or use unreasonable defenses, you'll break it. "

"If it's stronger than iron, there's nothing wrong with it." If that makes the weight lighter, it's the best result.

I'm glad you've made something so far. ”

In the battle with us, the Efs came under direct attack, but their main business was assassination. It was to sneak in and hunt for life without being noticed by the other party.

The strength of the blade is a less necessary parameter for such a combat-style Eff. In the first place, when the situation became such that we had to take the attack, it could be said that the FF failed.

In other words, even if the strength of the blade is less than the worst iron, you only need to be able to kill the opponent.

I'll show you how to install it.

"Oh, please.

Now... I can fight a little more, too... "

I felt indescribable when I heard the words that came out of the mouth of the foe as if they were falling.

She has always lived as a black dog. Now that you're with Nil, it would be difficult to change your way of life. In short, she will continue to be in a bloody world.

To her, it's literally a matter of life and death whether she can fight with all her strength.

I didn't show any gestures thinking about the arm that was cut off, but if I could get a prosthetic hand and fight again, I wouldn't be happy.

For her, who only knows how to live like that, fighting is what she's meant to be.

That's good, isn't it?

Nil gently uttered words to such a foe.

"Yes..."

I didn't shed tears, but I knew immediately that the Efraim who heard Nil's words was moved.

Rikishi's Heine also looked at the two of them without saying anything at all.

"Well... now I've finished explaining everything."

"I really appreciate it. How much do I owe you?"

"I've got some material coming out of here too... so that's about it."

That said, Sidorba raises four fingers.

Four million?

"No. Four hundred thousand."

“What about you?!”

Sidorba said before making the prosthesis, this prosthetic arm is the best one compared to the existing prosthetic arm. Even if there were no blades or hooks, it would be about four million dollars cheaper, including the fact that it is a fairly good prosthetic arm.

That's only 400,000. You must be right to think that this is some kind of joke.

"Four hundred thousand is too cheap for anything?!"

"No, no, it's not a special price."

Most of the material in the prosthesis was brought in, and all we got out of it was some metal and technology. So if it's 400,000, it's a fair price. "

"No, no! This is a new prosthetic arm like never before!"

"Whether new or old, the reward for our workload remains the same." Besides, it looks like you've done a lot of good for Shruna.

I mean, complaining about paying too little... "

"That's how much I'm buying Sidorba's arm."

He said he didn't want to let Sidruba lose because he made this much. ”

"The craftsmanship is exhausting, but it's really a fair price." Don't make it strangely expensive or cheap. "

I see… I see.

Siddharba wouldn't nod if I said I'd pay more.

I don't suppose you'd refuse to accept the money... but it must be the craftsmanship of Sidorba.

However, I'm sure you're still setting us a cheap price because you're Sidorba who's willing to host us for free.

Thinking of it that way, I was almost forced to give Sidorva a little more money.

It was Sidorba who wanted to receive only 400,000 yen, but she said it was the amount of the accommodation fee and let her receive it.

I'm probably a stubborn guy too, but you're also stubborn...

In the end, Sidorba broke my head and gave me the money while I scratch my head.

Since I came to this Zaagambel, I have been taken care of by Sidorba and the others, to the point that they have been taken care of too much. I'm not trying to solve all of that with money, but that's fine.

"Sinya."

After making a payment or something, the Eff comes to me and opens his mouth.

What's the matter?

"... I will return the money." This time... I was saved... no, thank you. "

I couldn't see the facial expression of the Effe under the hood, but I could see that the only mouth I could see was a little loose...

"You don't have to give it back."

I'll send Nil a gaze and say that.

Effe vowed to act as Nil's friend. To buy the prosthetic hand of the foe is an investment to protect Nil. It is not different from the necessary expenses.

"I don't know about that, but I hope you'll do the same in the future."

"... oh."

Efe replied by dropping his eyes on his new arm.

"That's right. I need to ask you guys a favor..."

"Do me a favor? What?"

If Sidorba and the others asked for it, they would have no choice but to take it on.

"Actually, I'm in a bit of trouble."

I have a long-standing customer, but I got a bit of a tricky request... "

"Is Sidorba's arm a nasty request?"

"It's not that hard to make things." However, the materials used for it are troublesome. "

What kind of material is that?

Misty Light Ore and Softyite Ore.

Softieite...? Sure...

"This is the ore you earned for rewards in the dungeon." Certainly, it's an ore that only the dwarves can handle. ”

Nil will give you an answer before I can dig up my memories.

I completely forgot, but I was told I had such ore.

Do you have a Softieite?!

"Get it in the dungeon until you get to Zaganbelle."

"That's... no, but I need a Mystique either way..."

"I don't know that ore either..."

I turned my gaze toward Slatan, but I shook my head sideways without even knowing him.

"These two are absolutely necessary." I wish I could have bought something around here, but it seems like it's too scarce. "

"You want me to collect those two ore?"

"No. Softieites and Mystie lights can be easily cracked by amateurs, no matter what they try to do." Even if we were able to extract it well, we still have good ore and bad ore. I need to see it directly and collect it directly. "

"That means..."

The request is that you escort me to a nearby mine.
