Translator: Shaini | Editor: Darling

Takeo and the clerk were deciding on the specs while drinking tea.

“Then let’s use this shell to generate the bullet.”

“Yes. Can we change the procedure a little bit?”

“Yes, but how?”

“I want this gun to be strengthened form the time I pick it up till the time I put it down.”

“Why?”

“If it comes to it then it will even be able to block a sword.”

“I see.”

“So the procedure is –

Strengthen the rifle > Prepare > Generate the bullet > Charge the inside of the ice bullet with an explosive > Make a film of water between the bullet and the cylinder > Trigger > Explosion > Fire

Please make it like that.”

“Will you be using magic power of 25 for each?”

‘Yes, that’s right.

I want to see what will come out of it if I use maximum power right from the beginning.

If the power is too strong then we can make a weaker version and if it’s too weak then we will need to find out a way to increase it.”

“Understood.

I’ll make that prototype.”

“I also want you to add 2 attachments that can act like its legs and a cord that I can tie to my waist.”

“2 attachments? Why?”

“So that if I were to use it lying down then it can be fixed in place.”

Takeo wrote over the drawing.

The 2 ‘legs’ can be used at various angles and they can be folded and attached to the side of the barrel.

“I see……………this might be more difficult than magic.”

The clerk smiled.

“How long will the remodeling take?”

“Hmm………about a week.”

“Then let’s try shooting after a week.”

“Understood.”

“Then I’ll leave the modification of the rifle and the collecting the bullets up to you.”

Takeo got up from his seat and left the store.

It was just about time and the afternoon bell was ringing.

Grandpa Elvis, Smith, and Alice had a quick lunch at the dining hall.

“Then, I’ll leave first.”

Alice got up from her seat and was about to leave the room.

“Hn?………Alice where are you going in such a hurry?”

“………No, just returning to my room?”

“………….Don’t tell me…….”

Grandpa Elvis grinned.

“……….Grandfather, please tell me, what comes after ‘don’t tell me’?”

“You’ll go to Takeo’s room and on the bed and…”

“I WILL NOT!”
Alice denied it with a red face.

“Hooo, you will not what?”

Alice left the dining hall without responding.

“Grandfather, will sister really go to Sir Takeo’s room?”

“Fufu, she will.

She was smiling when she got up from her seat.

Well, let’s not follow her this time.

It’ll be a threat to our life.”

Alice stood in front of Takeo’s room.

“Grandfather treats me like a pervert.”

She grumbled and lightly pushed on his door.

The door wasn’t locked and it opened easily.

“Sir Takeo……….he’s too careless.”

She complained in her mind.

She kept the key that she brought with her on the table and looked around for the book.

Alice was relieved to find the book that she was searching for.

When she looked around, she found that the purchases form the general store had been lined up in the corner of the room.

Then there was the bed.

Alice couldn’t move her eyes away.

“………..NO, NO, I’m not a pervert……”

“…….No one’s going to come………just for a little bit……….”

She locked the room.

*Doki *Doki

“Yay”

She called out and dived into the bed.

She filled her face and took in a deep breath.

She was satisfied.

Repeat.

This went on for a little while.

She got down with an expression that said that she enjoyed it.

“Shall I go back to my room for a bit and then go to the living room?”

When she took the key from the table, she noticed the memo.

When she took it in her hands and glanced over it she couldn’t read a thing.

“Did Sir Takeo write it?”

At the same time –

“Could it be about me?”

………Now that she thought of that she really wanted to see it.

“I might be able to read it if I borrow grandfather’s glasses…….”

Holding the key in her hand Alice quickly went towards the living room.
