Chapter 387: Completion of the Sun Katana and Noah's Magic Ship |
The next morning, it's raining outside, but I feel refreshed. I had a good night's sleep, probably because I had successfully completed Lily's trial.
At school, Kaito was looking forward to the magic ship. Well, I'm looking forward to it too. By the way, I heard that everyone has already bought a ship. We seem to have a good fleet of ships.
"Two galleons are impressive"
"They have 40 cannons"
"Can you handle that many cannons?"
"They say they can fire the cannons at the same time, so it's all right. They said it is difficult because you have to adjust the sights one by one"
I see. It would be better to concentrate on one cannon if possible, but if there are many cannons, it would be better to divide them into two roles, one for aiming and the other for firing.
And Nick-san and his crew are constantly making cannonballs. That's a lot of work. And Kaito and his team are hunting Wagyu and other cattles. But they seem to be having a hard time with Wagyu. I miss it...I had a hard time too.
I heard that the base is looking much better. We are going to have a strategy meeting at night because the event starts tomorrow. I didn't know that because I went to bed early last night.
"My katana is finished! Takuto-oniichan!"
"Ah, let's go see"
I went to Hephaestus' place and found the katana in a bright red scabbard.
"Ah, Takuto-san! Koihi-san's katana is finished! It took me a while to complete the sun stone, but I'm very proud of it!"
That's a lot of confidence. When Koihi pulls out the katana, the beautiful blade is covered with orange light. It is a fantastic katana.
"Beautiful...ah! Takuto-oniichan! Please give it a name!"
Yes, yes. I have already decided.
"Sun, yang and Koihi, how about Sun Fire. What do you think?"
"Sun Fire...I think it's a good name!"
That's good. Originally, it was written as Hi no e, but this time I was conscious of the hi of Koihi. It means the same thing, the fire of the shining sun. It would be perfect for Koihi.
Now, let's see what it looks like.
Sun Fire: Rarity 8, Katana, Quality B+
Weight: 60 Durability: 150 Attack Power: 120
Effect: Heat cutting, red flame
A katana with an excellent cutting ability, imbued with the power of the sun. It burns and cuts through any steel and its unique arching flames have the power to eliminate the enemy's escape route and reliably burn them to death.
The effect of the sun stone is awesome! Is heat cutting like laser cutting? The red flame is also called prominence. During a total solar eclipse, the red flame looks like a red flame rising from the rim of the sun hidden by the moon. I can't explain it in detail, unfortunately. It's a lot of unintelligible jargon.
I get the Sun Fire with Koihi.
"Please take care of me from now on. Sun Fire!"
Hephaestus comes as Koihi is entranced.
"Please give me two more days for Takuto-san´s katana. What will you do after that?"
"I think I will ask for Lian and Bran's spears. Use the Finist feathers. I will buy the materials. Steel ore?"
"No problem. What about the rest?"
"Hmm~...for the time being, it's fine"
I won't have enough time to try to make other weapons. With Hephaestus' order finished, I decided to head to Noah's place.
When I headed to Noah's house, Noah greeted me.
"I've finished it! My dream ship! Come! Come here!"
Following Noah's lead, I went down the stairs to the basement, where I found a huge dock and a large, white, magnificent ship.
"How do you like it! This is my dream ship!"
Noah boasted to me, but the double whammy of the huge underground dock and the magic ship made me absolutely speechless.
"I can't even hear your voice!"
"Ah, yes.... I mean, you had a dock like this?"
"Of course I do. You can't build a boat without a dock"
No, that may be so...but it's too unexpected.
"I mean, why is there a shabby house up there?"
"It would be more secretive if there was a secret dock in the basement of an old house"
Is this a stunt!? I was worried about asking you to do this...
"Then, as promised, I´ll give this to Takuto. Please give it a name and take good care of it"
Ah, I'm going to name it. It looks like a European ship, but I'll give it any name I like here.
Sukuna Bikona: Rarity 9, Magic Ship, Quality A
Armament: Ether magic gun, ether magic cannon 10, ether shield
Endurance: 150000 Performance: Self-repair, seasickness disabled
A large magic ship of Liebling. Made from dragonwood, the ship is extremely stable and has the ability to repair itself even if damaged. Equipped with a magic engine of ether crystals, it is the best offensive, defensive and speed ship.
Sukuna Bikona is the name of a Japanese god. He is known as the god of nation-building and came from the sea. He is said to have been a one-dimensional god with a bad boy-like personality.
I am also a person who loves to play tricks, so it would be a good name for a ship. It's a god's name, so there is a risk, but I'm not using the exact name, so it should be fine.
Now, we boarded the Sukuna Bikona and Noah gave us a briefing on Sukuna Bikona.
"First of all, this is the wheelhouse. This is where you steer the ship. The pipes here are connected to the ether cannon control room and the engine room, respectively. Each of these is connected to the engine room and each of them gives instructions to the other"
Well, it's not an easy maneuver...but then why bother using the pipes at all? We have communication...
"Let's start with the main attraction, the ether cannon! The ether magic cannon is installed in the bow of the ship. Because of its crazy firepower, it naturally has some drawbacks. First, it takes a long time to recharge. And since all the energy goes into the cannon, the ether shield also disappears, leaving the ship completely defenseless, so be careful when using it. And once you use it, you can't use it for five days"
Well, there's a drawback...we have to protect Sukuna Bikona during the charge. We'll do it. Noah opens a door on the floor near the bow and steps inside.
"This is the control room for the ether cannon. When you press this switch, the bow will open and the image will appear on the sighting screen of the ether cannon"
Oh! It's like a robot anime! I bet Saba Cans´s group loves it.
"This circle is the attack range. This lever fires the fixed anchor and this lever locks the sight. This trigger fires it"
Eh...that's a lot of attack range, isn't it? It looks bigger than the starlight dragon's breath...then Noah enters the ship and heads for the engine room.
"Next is the key to our defense. Ether shield. The operation of this is done right here in the engine room. Well, the ether shield can be done at the touch of a button, so it's easy. Click"
Noah presses the button and when he leaves the deck, the entire ship is covered with a rainbow membrane. So this is the ether shield.
"While this ether shield is up, most attacks shouldn't work. But it is impossible to cast a forbidden spell. You can't even break in. But you can get out from inside, and it's designed to allow attacks to slip through. It's our pride and joy"
It's almost impenetrable, but it can be attacked. It's a mess. Back to the engine room.
"After that, the engine room plays an important role in controlling the speed of the ship, the ether magic cannon and channeling energy to the ether shield. This lever controls the speed and this lever over here, when you push it forward, energy flows to the ether magic cannon and when you put it back, it goes back to normal. It takes a while to get back to normal, so be careful"
No wonder it takes so long to get back to normal.
"The rest of the explanation of the ether magic cannon has yet to be explained. The ether magic cannon uses the energy of the ship, so it doesn't need bullets. The rest is the same as with a cannon"
The ether cannon is placed on the deck. It will be difficult because it is not fixed, but that gives us a lot of freedom. You never know where the enemy will come from, so this is probably better.
"Finally, I'll explain about the rooms. There is nothing in the rooms, so you can use them as you like. There are six warehouses and one can hold 100. That's about it. Are there any questions?"
It can also act as a carrier...that's great. Oh, no questions...
"Nothing"
"I see. Well then, take good care of Sukuna Bikona"
Noah gets off the boat with a sad look on his face. I put Sukuna Bikona away in my inventory. How can I put it away? How do I manage to put it away?
"What are you resting for? Let's go outside"
"Eh?"
"It's not what. It's your dream ship. Don't you want to pilot it?"
I'm not going to let you on board if you're going to be so lonely.
"A, Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I'll take the engine room and you get first pilot"
"T, Thank you! L, Let's go!"
Oh, dear. I have more questions for Noah, but for now I'm going to focus on the event.
I accompanied Noah on his flight and I also helped Lily and the others get accustomed to the various controls. Setia and Mir were on board, but they seem to be fine thanks to the seasickness disable.
Unfortunately, one large summoned beast like Kurogane or Rukiya is the limit. Even one of them was quite bumpy, so I felt that there would be no problem if I summoned them only for a moment.
After that, I left Noah, emailed everyone that I had received the magic ship and logged out.
