Chapter 18 – A Meaningless Late-Night Conversation＊

“…What are you doing?”

In the wavering candlelight in the Cadisnola residence, in the far side of Luru’s room resounded Iris’ sleepy voice

After the party at the tavern, and Luru’s conversation with his father had ended, his father im properly, he wasn’t very sleepy, and it just so happened that he recalled so he wanted to do, and took out his tools and clanked around with them

Iris who had probably already fallen asleep had apparently woken up to the sound of collidingwhat it was, came to have a look

Though feeling extreetic about this, since it was difficult to fall back asleep once you woke up once, Luru beckoned for Iris to enter the roo on

Quietly entering the roos spread out on Luru’s desk, and realising what he was doing, she nodded in assent

“…I see, a Magus Machine, is it?”

The things lay on Luru’s desk probably looked like nothing but junk to an ordinary person, and a number of them were spread about

Many of thes that looked like ores, or simple rocks spread about as well, and there was no way to understand what on earth he was doing

However, the us Machines, and to Iris who handled theh to make it plain to see

She just understood that Luru was trying to create sous Machine

He wasn’t particularly hiding it, and ever since he discovered Iris in the ruins, he had been thinking about us Machines

However, the surprising level of backwardness of this era

The fact that technology had gone too far was also one of the triggers of the war between the hu, this was so that Luru understood

Having said so though, he also knew that Magus Machines had an aspect of them that made life extre of one day endeavouring to spread not weapons, but things that made life easier

The proble he was quite hesitant to do, but since the Magus Machines that had uarded the ruins that Iris slept in seven years ago were collected via Gran and Yuu theus Machines had progressed just a little

There was nothing that you could call it except a world of difference froy that once existed, but even so, it seeus Machines than before

As expected, the effects hadn’t spread to this village, but in a city of a large enough size, it was no longer a rare sight to see Magus Machines, according to Gran and Yuumis, and also Patrick, whose main base of operation were in the city Moreover, the tould occasionally bring Magus Machines under the name of souvenirs

Since Magus Machines had diffused that far through society, thistheus Machines that had a comparatively simple construction

He had to think about the danger of thethat would be discovered in a few years, then perhaps creating theht

Luru picked up the Magus Machine he was currently working on and showed Iris

“…Can you tell what this is?”

Iris thought for a little, but it wasn’t that difficult a question

On the contrary, it was so she often saw

She had seen them countless times in her experiences, after all

As expected, Iris immediately answered

“It’s a Magic Cannon …No, it’s a sis Pistola} perhaps I should say They’re, they’re created as a ic attack for those who have lost their mana…”

Luru nodded at Iris’ answer, and gave soive to a student who had done well

After that, he opened up his desk, and picked up so else to show Iris

“Well then, what’s this?”

Iris looked at what Luru was holding, tilted her head, and then replied with a curious expression

“…Is that too, a Magia Pistola? Is it a one that has already been completed?”

Iris uess in that direction

You could say that it was an extreuess

What Luru held in hand was sois Pistola froe, Iris thought that it was probably so adapted from the model earlier

Iris thought that in the next moment, Luru would surely nod and confirm her assumption

However,

“Nope…”

Contrary to expectation, Luru replied as such while shaking his head, so Iris tilted her head with a curious expression and asked,

“Then, what is it…?”

As Iris said earlier, no matter how you looked at it, what Luru now held in hand looked like nothing but a Magis Pistola

Froentle curve of theit once, and didn’t look at all different to the Magis Pistola that Luru held up earlier

However, there were certainly differences in the details, and unlike the work Luru created which had no accessories or intermediaries, and was created with just the bare ears, and cylinders filled with liquid the colour of floating bubbles, attached to it, and was quite over the top

It was soht process in

And this very thing was one of the reasons that Luru was now trying to create a Magis Pistola

“You see, Iris, this is so that I created…”

At those words, Iris widened her eyes in shock

Iris immediately understood the reality made apparent by his words

Over these past seven years, Gran and Yuuone to, but aia Pistola

The shock that Luru suffered when he first saas large

The construction and materials were obviously different from the ancient de created recently

According to Yuu merchant, but the merchant had just randomly come into possession of it, and since he didn’t really understand how to use it, he was thinking of selling it as some odd trinket he had come across
