Hard Work Will Never Betray Me

"Hal, it's been a long time.

"I'm glad to see that you haven't changed."

I thought she was depressed because she couldn't see me, but she was working on her own work as usual. I wonder if stress is the reason why the daily quota of magic  battery and magic wavelength converters are half finished, and  yet there are remnants of works I've never seen lying around.

However, it seemed to relieve her stress, and her expression was relatively clear.

"Oh, by the way, I had something for  you ."

"What is it?"

"Here."

I handed her another item that I had bought when Lily and I stopped by a jewelry store on the day of the Spirit Festival.

"Is this a ...... pendant?"

"Yes. I'm sorry about the other day. I'd like to apologize for that, but I've given it a ...... 'communication' spell, so I hope you'll keep it on your person."

"If you want a magic tool for communication, I've made one before. ......

"But that's not cute. Mei is cute, so she needs to wear something nice."

When I replied, May's face turned red and she started stammering. Her hair is red, and her face is red from the neck up.

"Isn't  it cute?"

"Yes. Cute,"

In fact, Mei's face is quite well-rounded, and there is no doubt that she will become quite beautiful in the future.

"I'm sure she'll be very beautiful. ...... "

May scratches her head and shrinks back as if embarrassed.

Ruby, t would go well with her fiery red hair. With my sapphire and Lily's emerald, we could have a battle of the three demons.

Mei is embarrassed, or maybe she's just too shy. I put a pendant around her neck.

"Yes, it looks good on you."

"'Thank you very much ......'"

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I've been so impressed with your work.

She told this through the magic tool,  it was quite a sight.

"Look, it's the newly opened 'Demonic Assault Gun'."

After that, Mei  was ladylike for a while, playing with the pendant on her  neck , but after 15 minutes, she recovered and regained her usual innocent energy. She was now explaining to me about the secret magic tools that she had developed during the week  I had been away.

"Whoa. A magic shock gun. Is it different from the previous gun?"

Previously, Mei  and I had used magic to shape modern knowledge of Earth. It's a single-shot, reloadable, pseudo-flintlock gun. It is a relatively primitive gun, slightly more powerful than a flintlock rifle, but less powerful than a modern bolt-action rifle. The reason for the "pseudo" is that it is technically not a flintlock rifle, but a magical rock rifle. The reason for the "pseudo" is that it is not strictly a flintlock rifle but a magical rock rifle.

"Yes. The previous gun had a good amount of power, but it still lacked versatility."

"It's a dangerous toy for ordinary people who can't use magic, but for soldiers and adventurers who can use magic and bowguns, is should be fine .

In this world, there are bowguns. In addition, they are quite well made and have high power, accuracy, and rapid-fire capabilities that do not require the development of guns. If you combine it with magic, it will give you a higher level of aggression than a poorly made flintlock gun.

In fact, guns with extremely primitive structures existed before Mei and I developed them. The quality of the gun was disappointing, as it did not even reach the level of a flintlock gun, but as long as gunpowder was known to exist, there existed a kind of tube that was less than a gun. However, it could only be used as a false threat against small wild animals, and it was only powerful enough to kill even humans. Inevitably, they were only used as traps in rural areas, and had long since fallen into disuse in adventurer and military circles.

"But this gun is completely different!:

"How is it different?"

"It uses Hal's shock magic."

"My shock magic  ?"

"Yes. I''ve seen Hal cast magic on magic stones before, but this time You used it to combine the magic tank technology that stocks magic power in magic stones with the magic of casting spells to open a gun that can cast Hal's spells on anyone, although the power is fixed. I'm sorry.

"What?

"Please watch. "　

--Bang!

""Yeah, "

--Bus-bus-bus-bus.

"Oh, no, no, no, no."

The revolver in May's hand fired a number of small impact rounds, about one centimeter in diameter, but they were definitely my impact rounds. They hit the wooden planks and made several fist-sized holes in the wood.

"This might bring , military revolution and ......."

"As you can see, each magic stone can shoot six times. There is also a magic stone that can shoot six times per stone. There are also two types of magic stones."

e showed me a magic stone that looked like a magnum bullet. After all, May's talent was out of the ordinary.

"May."

"Yes?"

"Don't let the master see this."

"What?　All right, ."

"Use it only for your own protection. If anyone else finds out, they'll copy  that and we'll lose our military advantage.

"If that's what you want to do, Hal, I don't mind."

I put my hand on May's shoulder, who didn't seem to understand anything, and I vowed to never take my eyes off her from now on. ......
