Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 240 "Drop Operations, Overview"

The base of Shiraka-an is situated in a crowded city just next to the baseline.

On the side facing the street, there is a No. 2 shop in New Heaven, and since the other three sides are surrounded by tall buildings, there is little light in the large room on the ground floor.

But for a few hours a day, at the slightest hour of daylight, the warm sunlight slips from the gap in the building as if it were clear.

Today, it was unusual and sunny weather in the wet "Armored Fish Cliff", and Letty, who was hanging out in the large room, also spent a relaxing time in a half-melted state.

I also occasionally read a sitting board on my chair asking if I could take a break like this.

This is a good opportunity because I have been so busy lately and I haven't been able to talk about trends.

"Speaking of which, yesterday they pushed up the front line of Amatumara's tunnel."

Letty puts her chest on the table and wraps her hands around a mug with warm cocoa.

"And it seems to be alone. I thought you said you were a famous fortune teller."

"Alice of Star Reading.” Mikage taught me that the other day. "

"... maybe that person"

The top players will still be engaged in a fierce struggle with sweat in their hands as we relax.

Thank you very much.

Speaking of which, Mr. Reggie, did you know how to cross the cliff?

I raised my face and the rabbit and Letty turned towards me.

"That's right... May I speak to you now?"

Together.

I've decided to publish it around here in view of my plan with Neva going well.

Incidentally, I kept it a secret because feasibility was in the first place at stake.

"I've been trying and making mistakes with Neva."

Again? Reggie is probably close to Neva too. "

"It suits me a lot. I feel like a bad friend from elementary school."

I see, are you a bad friend?

Letty nods with a color that seems convincing.

The lact sitting next to it sends a subtle gaze.

"So? What are you doing with all that?

Amy, lying on a tatami mat in a rough outfit, stood up and threw a question as she stretched out.

"Strength calculations, on-site inspections, detailed verification. The direction was set, so I was trying to see if it was feasible."

I'll seed the idea and Neva will verify it.

I will then gather the materials and information she needs to propose the solution and realize it.

I've been circling this cycle for the last few days.

"We were aiming for a faster and cheaper way to get people down the cliff from one person to several people, leaving the way to move them all at once to an aircraft that should be ready for development.

That's what I decided to use... "

I take it out of the inventory with my own face.

A black steel sphere, a floating spider on standby.

Floating spider, huh?

"Indeed, it was on the slope, but is it impossible to cross the highlands on the boulder?

I nod honestly to Toka's point.

"Sure, I didn't stick it to that cross section where I reinforced the child spider. So I decided not to worry about the cross section."

When presenting something, it seems that it is my bad habit to make such a deviant remark.

Apologize to Letty and explain the confused expression.

"Strengthen the wires used by floating spiders so they can withstand the load down the cliff. Brace the wire somewhere and hang it down. The spider itself is a shield for defense and a healing tool."

"I see. The method itself is simple."

Letty nodded.

If you can't drill a hole in the cliff, and you can't use a parachute, the options you can choose yourself will be narrowed.

After all, my idea didn't seem so strange. [M]

But...

"But where is the wire fixed? Like punching a pile in?

No, I couldn't put a pile on the cliff.

So you're going to put it in a tree?

"When I did the load test, the tree was more durable and broken."

Letty, shake her neck in succession to Lacto's words.

Various methods of fixing were explored, but most did not reach the required load due to the height of the cliff.

"We needed support no matter how heavy we hung it, and we've been looking for it until recently."

"Is there something like that...?"

The toca leaned her neck with her eyebrows raised in trouble.

Almost all of the objects present in the field, such as trees and rocks, can be acquired by specific mining skills.

As a result, durability is set and destroyed when taking strong damage, even if it is not a mining skill.

With such specifications, it was hard to find an object that could hang floating spiders and several people's weights down the cliff.

"It's not like the lighthouse is dark, but it's actually around here."

I was deeply impressed when I found this.

Neva, who was skeptical at first, understood that she met the requirements.

"What is near here?

I point my finger in the direction to Letty, who asks.

It's a central control tower in the center of this town.

The words calm the whole room.

I can hear only a faint breath of the white moon sleeping in the shadow of the kitchen and a lovely nose of Camille cleaning upstairs.

After a while, Letty opened her mouth while shaking her head as she sifted.

"No, no, no, no, no! How big do you think the control tower is!? Plus, it's quite a distance from Wade to the cliff!

"All you have to do is lengthen the wire. I was going to make a new one out of the beauty of the wire."

"Isn't it magnificent on a boulder? It's not realistic."

Lacto tells me to hold me back.

Indeed, the central control tower is thick and the distance from the tower to the cliff is large.

Furthermore, when extending the wire, it is necessary to go through the city and negotiate there.

Honestly, the problem is not a pile of stories.

"But I think it's feasible enough. That's why I'm already getting ready."

Ready?

"I'm buying the materials I need to make wires. I have several requests, and I am also a source of funds, and I am rapidly rotating the travel mission."

The pedestrian task of buying and selling items around the city that I was doing when I was improving my trading and walking skills, and both skills have been further upgraded, and now it has become an efficient way to earn a considerable hourly wage.

After all, there were no days when I didn't think it would be better to become a peddler, but I was defending the Traveler with the will of steel.

"Now we have 5,000 white steel and 5,000 black steel, 23,000 red copper and 7,000 lead. There are already 6,700 Long Tan Iguana hides on the target, and I can actually see the goal."

Read items in storage.

When they heard that, Letty and the others looked at me with a grotesque expression.

"That Reggie is making money...?

"Besides, I can't believe you're accumulating so many items even though you're so wasteful...."

"Hey, isn't my usual rating spicy?

Unexpectedly penetrated Letty and Lacto, covering their mouth with their hands.

I'm a man to do when I do.

... Neva's watching me this time.

"When 10,000 white steel, black steel, and lead are assembled, Neva plans to start production. At the same time, I will negotiate with the town."

"Negotiating with the town?"

"Yeah, with the town chief."

Look toward the silver tower in the middle of Wade.

"What, I know the guy sitting there, and I'm sure he'll make it."

Letty and I looked at me in a complicated way, saying something so optimistic.
