Chapter 366 - Episode Twelve - Three Great Weapons in Fage Territory (4)

I was silently manipulating an Ortem and hurrying to develop a weapon attached to the magic wave tower in a remote part of the Fage territory.

Aside from Zolomonias Ortem that I had placed beside me, I was alone.

Mea had been forced to work on the planning of the Moon Festival Dinmei, which I had completely lost control of, so she didnt have much time to come along with me.

Ive already finished coming up with the ideas for the event and designing the magic circle needed for it, so the rest of the technical details can be thrown to the alchemists division.

Im proposing to mass-produce and sell a magical device called a farsighted tube that can clearly see the approaching moon din, and enliven it with a parade using Ortems and fireworks made of magic bullets.

After that, I heard that they are aiming to collect money from the tourists who come to the Fage territory by setting up stalls with steamed buns resembling the moon din.

Since the moon din is round, it must be very easy to imitate it. I guess its just a matter of cutting corners to be honest.

The rest of the plans and movements for the day are being worked out between {ea and the other members of the planning team, but that seems to be proving difficult.

I asked Rinoa, the former deputy leader of the group, to fill in for Mea, as I thought it was unlikely that things would go on like this.

This should make it easier to work with the alchemist division than before.

The problem seems to be that there are a lot of hard-headed people in the planning department, and the discussions tend to go back and forth, and Lark is strangely motivated to get into the details.

I remember when I was interfering out in the open, everyone was as straightforward as a puppet, but listening to them talk, it seems like theyre rehashing things that should have been decided once.

I think I might have to make some time to go and have a look.

But this might be a bad idea.

I let out a whimper.

More than the difficulty of manufacturing, it takes too much time and effort to test each component to make sure its safe.

In addition, Im afraid that its hard to say how far we have to go to make sure that the weapon wont go out of control.

If we make a mistake, we could blow up the whole world, so we cant skimp on safety, but if we want to do a complete test, well need at least five magic wave towers for testing.

It would take too much time and labor, and frankly, we dont have enough money to gather the materials.

Youre the one whos screwed up. This mistress is too astonished to say anything.

Zolomonia sat on top of the Ortem and stretched as she looked up at the tower.

Im sure youre aware of this by now, but its still quite dangerous even at this point. Even this mistress is a little put off by this.

I dont want to be told by Zolomonia either.

Arent you the demon who ruined several sorcerers by spreading unnecessary ancient knowledge?

This mistress only told what the person wanted to know. If he cant handle it and destroys himself as a result, it will be his own fault That said, this mistress wont let you do anything stupid like making one star disappear, and you cant do it in the first place.

Zolomonia lay down on the floor.

She just says whatever she wants.

Its not like Im building it because I want to.

Its all in order to prepare a means of resistance so that Kudor and Count Julem do not disturb the current peace of Mea and me.

Its true that I do have some inquisitive desires, but its not that Im thinking that Im fortunate to have a reason to do this.

No, of course, I have the desire to check out and create whatever I come up with, so I may have some of those feelings, but mostly its for the sake of peace.

Mm Abel, you have a visitor

At Zolomonias words, I involuntarily turned my head.

I had thought that Kudor had arrived.

The familiar orange curly hair came into view.

What is it, Altamir?

Look, Abel, I know youre eager, okay? But this is definitely an unnecessary addition to the magic wave, isnt it? I want you to make the main functions of the magic wave tower first

Altamir urges me with the index fingers of both hands, taking an apologetic gesture.

Originally, Altamir had supported the development of magic cell phone Magiphone, and had helped build the magic wave tower.

She has been doing a great job of assigning detailed tasks and guidance to the alchemists division, using the development of the Magi phone as bait.

In addition, she seemed to know only vaguely about Count Julem, and seemed to think that I was just playing with him by creating an excessive force.

I would like to tell you in a loud voice that this is not the time, but if Peter, who is close to Altamir, is keeping it a secret, I should not dare to tell you.

In fact, I already have a sample of the magic cell phone Magiphone with the shape. But since we dont have the aid of a magic wave tower, our range of communication is limited to this village at best, but I think we can still enjoy the atmosphere.

Re-, really!? I thought this was going to be a very time-consuming part! Youre good! As expected of Abel! Youre a really good alchemist, even though your humanity is laughably trashy! If youre that good, you should have told me sooner!

Altamir slaps me on the back.

It really hurts.

Rather than that, so you look at me like that

Do you want to use it?

I want to, I want to use it! Hey, where is it? The lab? Larks mansion? How many are there?

I hadnt seen Altamir this excited in a long time.

Since the time I found out that Peter was her old friend.

Im sorry, but I need to make some final adjustments to the magic formula to make it usable, so is tomorrow around noon, okay? Its in a test mode right now.

Mmm well, I guess I have no choice. Ill wait for you.

Altamirs cheeks puffed up slightly as she was left to her own devices.

For now, I just want to focus on this. Youre going to be playing with the magic cell phone Magiphone tomorrow anyway, arent you? Please make the members work until tomorrow.

I know. Ill see you tomorrow, I promise! Im counting on you!

And with that, Altamir skipped away in a high mood.

Well when did you make such a thing?

Zolomonia tilted her head.

I watched as Altamir disappeared from my sight and let out a sigh.

I got no choice Ive got the materials, so Ill just make it up as I go along and get through tomorrow. I wont be able to sleep today, either.

you must like tightrope walking a lot.
