132 Lesson 28: First Demon Stone Startup Experiment (1/2)

The next day, you grabbed something in conversation with me, and Tomas began to move vigorously.

I had heard from Charne that he had begun listening to Navre, Gark and Charne, who would be the testers of that prototype, in making weapons using demonic stones.

”Mr. Tomas, that's amazing. He was eager to listen to us.”

”Hmm? What have you been asking me?

”From the magic I'm good at, from the intermission of the weapons I usually use, to the dissatisfaction with the current weapons, to the hope of what other weapons I want... and then I want to see where I'm actually mocking them, so I can mock them in various combinations with Master Navre and Mr. Gark.”

”Well, it's Tomas. Once it's on fire, you'll make sure it works.”

I also thought I was going to show my face to Tomas later, and he came in after that topic Tomas knocked. That hand holds the paperwork, and he turns his gaze to see how I'm doing.

”Dear Anis, I'd like to have some time later...”

”You can still do this, okay? I'm in a hurry to finish my job and get my papers to Priscilla.”

”Then I want to give you some time. Look at this first.”

What Tomas has given us was plans for the future manufacture of the weapons of the Navres. First, each of the three has a weapon concept worked out in which Tomas listened to and contemplated hope.

”I thought I'd read their hopes, see how they used and drained their weapons today, and read their habits. I'm not a knight, I can't even read how it actually affects movement. So I'd like to ask Master Anise to actually be present as a virtual enemy once and watch the three of us move.”

”Ho.”

I accidentally got that voice on Tomas' suggestion. Measure the strength of the three of you using me as your virtual enemy, huh? I've done gakkun and archery before, but maybe what Tomas says is a form of action.

”Master Ennis would be able to draw the limits of the three of us, wouldn't he? And I want you to make sure that they actually look okay with that weapon. I can only give my opinion as an engineer. If the weapon you actually built doesn't fit, you're down.”

”As good as it gets. I'm glad you appreciate it, but how fat are you to use me as a virtual enemy?

”As a member of the magic bureau, it's an application to the official bureau director. I don't mind if I don't.”

”Just kidding. Oh, it's good that Tomas tells me he's the director. He's coming.”

”Really?... Oh, yeah. Dear Ennis, I'd like to start with an experiment with magic passing through the Demon Stone. Has anyone besides Ennis ever put magic through demon stones before?

”... there's only about Ilaria.”

Although Raini is there, Raini's example doesn't make him mouth to mouth.

Tomas, who heard my reply, put his arms together and looks difficult.

”Then there are too few samples. If Demon Stone is a subspecies of Spirit Stone, there must be no total unresponsiveness by passing magic. If you say you need the right vessel, you have to build it... but if it's possible to make artificial demon stones, I thought you could also process demon stones.”

”Do you want to process the Demon Stone as long as it takes... it's bold”

I'm the one who couldn't do it without the Demon Stone. Because I hesitated to use a rare demonic stone for boulders. So I was looking in the direction of how to align the vessel with the demon stone. The result was engraving techniques.

But processing demon stones may be possible with artificial demon stone technology. If you think so, maybe that's a more natural idea.

”So at first we're going to see how it goes in an unprocessed state. The three of them are also scattered with attributes of magical aptitude, so I'm going to see if there's any difference in response. After that, if Anis is good, I have a demon stone that I want Charne to use.”

”Huh? Is that me?

You realized it was going to be a long story, and Charne, who was starting to prepare tea, suddenly got turned around and made her jump on the shoulder. I guess I didn't think I'd be the subject of a nomination.

”Ah. Dear Anis, remember? When I gave you the Celestial.”

”... oh,” that's right. It does seem to go well with Charne. I don't mind. ”

”Um, what kind of demon stone is that? That it goes well with me...?

”Fenrir approached Wang capital about two years ago. It was Lady Anise who made the interception. …”

”Ha...... eh, Fenrir!? Is that the demon stone of the Fenrir species!? Isn't that very valuable!?”

When I heard about Fenrill, it was initially a blurry Charne, but I immediately opened my eyes to surprise that my brain understood, and panicked aparable to the gems there. If I keep accessorizing it, I guess I can see it.

Charne, once again shown Fenrill's demonic stone, was oddly shaking her body and staring at Fenrill's demonic stone as she was about to peel off her white eyes now.

”Then we will begin the first Demon Stone Startup Test!

”Ugh... it's awesome...”

”... then you want to try it from me first?

”Oh, take a sample of Tomas, too?

”Oh, let's try”

Tomas touches Fenrill's demon stone on his knees, which remains tucked away in the box. Keep your eyes closed, you seem to be focusing your consciousness... but nothing responds.

That's what I've been doing for a while, Tomas, but I stand up unexpectedly with my eyes open. And I shook my head left and right.

”... I certainly wouldn't say yes”

”Right?”

”I have used spiritual stones before, so I tried to do it with the same feeling...”

You're thinking about the cause, or you're immersed in your thoughts as Tomas squeaks.

I knew you couldn't just pass the magic. Then I guess I'll have Charne do it next time.

”Come on, it's Charne's turn.”

”... Wow, I get it! I'll go!”
