A few days after the resolution of the incident.
I handed over a bracelet to Chrisse and formally announced to everyone about us becoming a couple.
Unlike my previous world, we dont swear our love in a church, but we gather everyone and tell them of our marriage and exchange wedding vows.
Then weSnow, Chrisse and I, and my number one disciple iya, stayed in the Vlad estate. (I remade Snows bracelet I had lost and likewise exchanged formal wedding vows.)
Then what are we going to do now?
We were in Ojou-samasnow my wife Chrisses room, having a tea party while discussing what our plans would be from now on.
Yesterday we talked while we had a tea party in the courtyard, but rc-san, rry-san and the other servants ca along and half-teasingly called [Young Master] [Young Master] again and again, so I beca embarrassed and today were having it in Chrisses room.
The first thing we brought up in conversation was Snows magic school attendance, but according to the person herself, [Im already ranked A-minus, so itll be alright even if I didnt co back. Ive already qualified for graduation without going to class.]
On the schools side, they wanted Snow to graduate from the Fairy Human Continent magic school at all costs for the sake of their prestige. It seed she was allowed to do this for that reason.
Therefore, I proposed we go to the North Continent to look for clues to find Snows parents.
Back when we were in the orphanage, she told she dread of finding her parents and living together with them.
However, her reaction was slow.
Of course Im happy youd go there with but as we are now itd be a bit hard if we traveled there.
It seed as soon as she had joined the magic school, she had imdiately examined all sorts of information regarding both the [North Continent] and the [White Wolf Tribe] in order to find her parents.
The North Continent was located where the number [12] was on a clock.
It was the continent where it snowed all year round.
The White Wolf Tribe was a minority living in the heartland of that continent.
But there were also dangerous monsters living in the continents heartland.
For example, there are the White Dragons and the Giants.
White Dragons, as the na implied, spit out snowstorms from their mouths at their enemies.
These Giants, what are they? Couldnt they be monsters originating from enlarged humans?
Sothing like fighting while yelling [Exterminate!]
Snow shook her head.
Not that, theyre more like huge walking stone statues. They form groups and are always on the move. Occasionally, one or two would stray from the group and attack human settlents. Theyre dangerous monsters that equal Dragons.
Huge walking stone statues, huh? Thatll be difficult to take down with an AK-47.
[And with a sniper rifle, as well.]
Chrisse voiced her agreent on the mini blackboard.
The White Wolf tribe seed to live by weaving their way around those dangerous monsters.
Unless we prepare weapons which could stand against those monsters, wed be annihilated before we could find them .
Whats more, were going to form a [Legion] in the future.
In order to beco Level V adventurers, we need to take down one or more Dragons or Giants.
Its still a long way off, but we should plan so counterasures while were at it.
There were weapons I postponed developnt on since they didnt get much use during the vampire incident and also there were things I felt I needed to make. Since Im going to be fighting Dragons and Giants, I think further weapons developnt is necessary.
In that case, why dont we go back to my workshop?
Hearing what iya proposed, everyone there, Snow, Chrisse, and I, looked at each other.
Seeing everyone thought it was a good idea, she continued.
My workshop has plenty of tools and materials, you can do research and developnt as you like there. Theres also an Adventurers Guild there since the Dragon Continent is a famous dungeon paradise of the world! Theres also a wide range of job requests there.
Well, that is an option.
Were already familiar with iyas workshop.
As thanks for the Vampire incident, we could also resu iyas studies.
At the sa ti we could also register Snow and Chrisse as adventurers.
Wed level up together, and eventually beco level V or level IV.
That way, we could fulfill the conditions for setting up a Legion: one level V and two level IV adventurers.
I suppose I could call it reasonable.
. All right. We should return to the Dragon Continent once more like iya says, then. Ive got lots of things I wanted to build, too. Will you two be okay with this?
Where Lute-kun goes, is where Ill go.
[As a wife, Ill stay by Lute-oniichans side, too.]
With this our next destination was decided.
Once we decided on a course of action we moved quickly.
A few days later, we bid everyone in the Vlad estate farewell and set off.
Gigi-san already went off on his trip, so it was a little regrettable we couldnt say goodbye to him.
Before we left the Demon Continent, I sent Elle-sensei a letter.
I wrote about my eting with Snow, my marriage with Chrisse, my release from slavery, and the continuation of my adventures in the Dragon Continent.
About a month later we returned to iyas estate.
We went by coach and then by ship.
Arriving at iyas estate, the first thing we did was have a bath, a al, and so sleepin order to rest from our travel fatigue we spent three days lazing around.
The morning of the fourth day.
I took iya and walked into her workshop.
Since I had co to the Dragon Continent Ive been wearing Dragon Kungfu, which were traditional Dragon Continent clothes for n.
Snow and Chrisse also wore Dragon Dresses.
Lute-sama, what kind of handgun shall we be making this ti?
Were not going to be making handguns or weapons today. I was thinking were going to put together so personal equipnt.
Not weapons but personal equipnt? Will it be armor or sothing?
iya tilted her head in question.
Even though I said personal equipnt other than weapons, it seed she still didnt get it.
I showed her the mo I had prepared beforehand and explained.
This was also one way Im repaying iya for the Vampire incident.
At the minimum, I thought I should make these.
Combat UniformEye Protection GearHeltBackpacksCombat ProtectorsCombat BootsALICE ClipsBulletproof Vests
A, are you going to be making all of these?
Thats because they dont need large-scale work like the M700P. Ill explain what each one is and what theyre used for in turn.
Yes, please treat well!
iyas eyes shined like a child being given a toy, then she took out a blank mo pad and a feather pen.
I explained each one in turn and in a way that made it easy for her to understand.
Combat UniformClothes worn during battle. The outside was designed for easy movent and was made from a robust material that breathed easily. For now I planned to make them with cotton. They were equipped with pockets in various places for storing lots of small accessoriesbat ProtectorThere were two purposes for it: [Protecting the knees and elbows] and [ntal effect of safety even if you moved around violently].
In tis when one needed to squat or lay prone, there was a possibility that a monts hesitation over getting a knee injury ant the difference between life and death. However, if one wore a set of protectors, the ntal safety/practicality of not getting injured when overdoing things would be important in close combat situations.
HeltThe purpose of the helt was to protect a Humans most important organ: The brain. Making a helt out of magic liquid tal would make lighter and stronger helts compared to making one out of needlessly thick iron.Eye Protection GearGoggles. There were lots of things which could damage the eyes in combat. Dust carried by the wind, spent cartridges ejected by allies, wood or stone fragnts scattered about by bullets. With magic, there would also be fragnts scattered by blasts. If these hit ones eye then combat power would decrease. Therefore eye protection was necessary. The problem was what the glass parts were to be made of. Of course we couldnt use this worlds glass. It wasnt strong enough. It would conversely increase the risk of damage.BackpackDuring the vampire incident, the clay to stop one of the functions of the magic prevention collar and the softball-sized smoke grenade was put in a bag. However, since there was no ti I made one which was barely suitable for the job. This ti Ill be making one forergencies in advance.
The total weight of the equipnt [shouldnt exceed a third of a soldiers body weight].
Fighting strength of a tired soldier drops significantly. I thought rather than giving soldiers all they could bear to carry, it was better to set a standard.
I also thought I shouldnt stuff 20 kg of baggage into one large bag, but instead disperse the weight using smaller bags linked together to make it easier to carry. Pack together three 5 kg bags and hang two 2.5 kg bags from each of them.
Combat BootsDuring the vampire incident I used ones with soles made of soft materials to reduce the sound of footsteps, but the combat boots Ill make this ti are going to be for field use. However, theres no rubber in this alternate world. Ive never seen any. Therefore Ill be attaching tal rivets to the shoe soles.tal rivets are useful as an anti-skid chanism but the downside was the temperature of the ground would be easily transmitted to the foot, in cold regions heat easily flows out, causing frostbite. Tentatively, Ill put a sheet of monster skin between two plates made from magic liquid tal. This way cold and heat wont go through and one could safely step on tal pieces. The tip of the toes would also be fitted with tal to make the boots safe.ALICE Clip[Sliding tal clips] attached to pistol belts. The advantage of ALICE clips was that one can attach them wherever one likes along the belt. The chanism wasnt complicated, either.
However, if used this way the trousers would slide down from the weight of the equipnt, so it should be supported using suspenders.
The combination of a [Pistol Belt] and [Suspenders] was called a [Belt Kit].
Bulletproof VestProtects against piercing by soft point bullets favored by police or VIP guards. However, there was no chance of us getting hit by a bullet in this world. Bulletproof vests cant defend against stabs from arrows or the like. For that reason, I planned to make leather vests using this worlds materials as a substitution. Ideally Id like sothing which could defend against sword, arrow, and spear attacks.
Well I suppose Im thinking about making so things like these. Weapons are important, but armor and a way to increase the number of magazines and the small stuff we carry are necessary to raise the odds of us surviving from now on.
As expected from Lute-sama! Ill be learning from this!
iyas expression brightened as she gleefully jotted everything down on the mo pad.
While I waited for her to finish writing things down I called out.
Well then, Ill imdiately begin making the [Combat Uniforms].
Yes! Your number one disciple shall help you out!
Im sorry to disturb your work.
When iya had just gotten psyched, one of the estates maids ca along.
A letter addressed to the iya estate just arrived.
Good grief, who is it!? Barging in when I was just going to have so sweet ti with Lute-sama!
iya puffed her cheeks in anger and checked the sender of the letter.
*sigh*
iya?
She faintly sighed.
Leave it in my room.
Understood.
You dont need to read it first?
It doesnt matter! Its a letter from my childhood friend. Anyway, my ti together with Lute-sama is more important than anything!
She returned to her cheerful self as if ignoring her previous sigh.
iya cut the chatter about the letter with a smile.
