My Gene System

Chapter 93 - Improvised

The other guard had a worried expression as he thought Pan Sik approached lady Arisu's friend disrespectfully. His physique was larger than Riku's body, and he had black silky hair, and blue eyes.

By just simply looking at him, he could easily tell that this man was a good fighter. First, he introduced himself in a polite tone. "I'm Riku Hirota, I'm the assigned inventor that would work here." He narrowly bowed his head.

But the thing got worsened. The guard shook his hands and head in unison. "S-Sir Riku, you don't need to bow your head for someone like me. I'm just an ordinary guard in this village my superior would surely scold me once they saw us." He stammered, trying to fix the matter here to avoid the worst-case scenario.

As soon as he gradually lifted his head, he touched the guard's shoulder along with a broad smile on his face. "Why are you so tense? I'm also an ordinary person you don't need to act like that because we are just the same." He responded, trying to calm the anxious expression of this man.

"I'm really sorry about that and for Pan Sik's action, Sir Riku. I'll make sure this will be reported and the get punishment deserves to us."

Even though this man was afraid, still, Riku noticed this guard really loved his work. Aside from that, there was nothing worry about between him and Pan since this man was the first person who treated him well. So for him, this man was overreacting. "Calm down, you don't need to report it." He passed at the guard while calling Pan to assist him. "Before I forgot, may I know your name? Because I think I'll spend some of my time here so I have to know how I'm going to address you."

The man blinked his eyes, then strongly stood in his position. "I'm Henzo Namin, I'm Pan Sik superior." He introduced himself in how they normally did this in this world.

"Oh, you're Henzo, you have an interesting name." He slowly rubbed his chin before adding. "Hey, Henzo! Stop bothering yourself, I won't complain. Also, it's better if you act we are a friend while I'm staying here."

Of course, Henzo was dumbfounded at him for a couple of seconds, didn't expect this man would treat him like this. Nevertheless, he nodded his head without hesitation. "Yes, Sir Riku! I'll try to do that!" He replied and looked at Pan. "What are you doing, Pan? Get the pouch that Sir Riku, carrying right now!"

In just an instant, Henzo was started to become energetic, leading the tour of Riku's new working place.

"Let me get this and sorry about that, Riku. My superior was just overthinking." He murmured with a laugh.

"I don't mind it, Pan. Just for now, I want you to help me build my invention here." He responded, then gave the brown pouch to him.

The three were now entered the Riku's working station. Just like what he saw, it was an empty place, and the right area to try the explosion. No one was around as he requested they must not bother him while experimenting, at the same time, to lessen the quality that might happen once the landmines exploded unexpectedly.

To describe the place, it was like a shooting range where the guards practiced their accuracy with the bow. 

"Riku, you just came back from the expedition, isn't it? All the guards were talking about it as you leave earlier than we expected." Pan said in a deep tone, finding the right place to put the materials he was carrying.

"Oh, you're right." He replied in a cold tone as he was trying to remember the exact mixture he needed to create a gun powder.

"You should rest, for now, you might be exhausted from the expedition." Pan said and stopped as they reached the area. The place wasn't touching the sunlight that good for Riku to stroll around. "We are here, Riku. This is the place you have requested no sunlight could reach to you."

"Thank you, Pan. You can stay here so you can assist me when I need something." He muttered, then sat down in front of the brown table.

"Are you sure, Riku? Lady Arisu strictly said to us that no one should see you while you're working." He replied in a weak tone.

"Oh, about that, I said it to her. But I didn't expect that you're here so it's way better if someone is helping with me. Wait..." He paused for a second, looking maliciously at Pan. "Wait for a minute, you don't want to help me, isn't it?"

And all of a sudden, Henzo that was watching them took a glance at Pan with his sharp eyes. "Pan! You're disobeying sir Riku's order? You don't want to lose your job, huh?!" He said in a high tone.

In his mind, Henzo now started to overreact. "Please calm down, Sir Henzo. I'm just trying to clarify it so lady Arisu would punish us." He explained.

"I'm gonna ask you. Who's the person ask you?" He said in a serious tone.

"Sir Riku?" Pan responded.

"What's his job here in our village?"

"He's our new inventor." Pan responded cluelessly.

"I think you are well savvied about that. If he's the one who tells you that, you are nothing to worry about. Stay here, and me, I'm going to guard the gate so no one could disturb sir Riku while he's working. At the same time, there must person there as lady Arisu said she's going to this station to visit." After he spits these words he left the place and gave his respect to the man sitting behind Pan.

"I understand, Sir Henzo. I apologize for my rudeness." At this point, he realizes that he must not carry away just because this man was treating him well. "I'll try to be professional, Sir Riku, I apologize."

Yet, it seemed Riku wasn't listening to them as he was busy creating the mixture for the gun power. First thing first, he took the two elements and placing into the table, he separated them as he was waiting for the last material which was the charcoal.

His eyes were serious, powdering all the materials before making the gun powder. Of course, he had an idea of what he was going with it, just to make sure that this invention would work out well.

He took almost thirty minutes, his sweat dripping on his face, and felt mild pain on his face. He turned around, looking at the confused man as Pan had no idea how was the powder could save the entire village.

"Hey, Pan? Do you bring what I have asked to you?" He asked him, knowing he can try the gun powder once he get that.

He narrowly flinched as he was spacing out. Yet, he nodded his head at him without hesitation since he is already aware of what this man pointing about. "Yes, Sir Riku! I should bring it right now?"

He raised his should as it was trying to do so. "Do you already crash it for me, right?"

"Yes, just like what you requested."

After that conversation, Pan was going to take the charcoal for Riku. But he suddenly stopped when Riku called his name.

"Wait for a moment, Pan. Can you get flat marble for me and big leaves?" He said while the idea in his mind was circulating.

And again, Pan was literally clueless about the situation, can't be helped to doubt in this man. 'Eh? A leave and flat marble? What he's trying to do? He's certain to save the village by that?'

But what he could do? His job here was to give all his needs. "Of course, Sir Riku. Just wait here and I'll try to get all those things."

Another thirty minutes had passed, and the time was around three o'clock. Moreover, Pan safely got back to the waiting section as he brought all the materials Riku have mentioned.

"This is the flat marble, leaves, and the crash charcoal. Do you think it's enough? If it's not, I'll head outside to get more." He suggested even though he was still catching his breath.

"No, this is perfect. I just need it for the small demonstration." He said confidently, then prepared all the stuff before it started.

In Pan's point of view, he was seeing Riku inserting the three powders that had different colors into huge green leave. Based on his observations, this man wasn't simply inserting the powers, it seemed it had the right amount.

"Okay, it's good." He said along with a broad smile, then put the flat marble over the powders mixture. He folded the leave until it formed like a square. "Can you give me that vines, Pan? I'll just wrap this one."

After a few were moments. It was finished and two of them were looking at the square leaves. "Sir Riku, are you sure that leave? Could save the village?" He doubted.

But he didn't intend to answer his question as he stepped outside to try it out. "Just watch, Pan. I'm sure that you will be amazed by the true power of science."

As soon as they reached the area, he asked Pan to step back. His eyes were aiming at the rectangle marble in front of him, and after taking a deep breath he threw the improvised grenade.
