In The Tempest, the arena is located behind the main hall where the reception desk is located.
　It's rare for a guild to have an arena.
　Unless your guild was extremely large, it wouldn't have one.
　That's how prosperous The Tempest was.
　Even the previous guild master probably didn't think it would be in such a miserable state: .......


　Well, I'm in that arena now.
　The reason for this is that the arena was designed to be used for fighting, so even if things get a little dangerous, I'm sure we can handle it.

I'm going to build a gun that will serve as a weapon for the Fia.

　When I say that, people are like, "What the hell is this guy talking about? She's looking at me.

"Aruji!　Cool!'

Is this a cool scene?

"My way is good!

That's right.

　I'm not sure that's a compliment.

...... Here we go again.

　Lal let out a sigh.
　You know, Lal and I have made salt before.
　I'm sure I caused you a lot of concern, so I'll play it safe this time.
　Can we go to ...... and see if we can do it?　Let's look at it positively .

'Well, I'd appreciate it if you could make a gun for me ...... but isn't it too much to ask for a quicksilver?'

　Fear has a point.
　I checked the value of the guns the Mage uses and it seems they cost 500 gold coins.
　The high value means it's that much more difficult to manufacture.
　I thought it was ......, but I was able to find out about its construction at Wisdom.
　It's a secret, but it should be possible if I can figure out what it's made of.

　Because from now on I will be using alchemy.
　Alchemy and magic have many interrelated ideas.
　That's why I learned alchemy along with magic.


'I'm sure Revel has some ideas, don't you?　Otherwise, they wouldn't be talking about building a gun or something.

Sort of. What kind of gun would Fear want?

'What kind of gun is it ...... then, please give me two pistols at ............!

　Fia said shyly, her white cheeks flushing red for some reason.

'All right,'

　I took out the iron I purchased from Frapara's blacksmith from the Item Box.
It should be durable enough to withstand the bullets a [Mage] creates with his magic power.

What are you going to do with this?

　Fear looks at me curiously.

"Well, watch.

　First, the muzzle is made of steel.
　From the muzzle to the engine part is the barrel, which is hidden by the slide.
　The target can be aimed at by first making the front sight and then making a concave gate.


...... Isn't that awesome?

Hmm?

It's kind of terrifying to see it being done as you watch it: ......

Really?

　My knowledge of alchemy is limited.
　An experienced alchemist would have this done in a second.

...... Revel, what kind of magic is this using?

　Kurt asked curiously.

"This isn't magic. It's alchemy.

Alchemy?

"Aye. All the iron work is done by alchemy. The principles of alchemy are quite similar to the principles of magic, and if you study it, I'm sure you'll soon be able to apply it.

...... alchemy is usually only a transmutation of matter. Perhaps Revell has acquired a knowledge that is far removed from the modern 'normal' knowledge of ancient magic.

Yeah, I see. Well, that's good.

'Yes!　I feel like it's something special and I feel like I'm getting closer to the world's best, which is what Revell was aiming for!

Yeah.

　I agree with Fear.
　It's a big advantage if I'm the only one who knows information that most people don't.
　Maybe I can be the most powerful person in the world ...... or maybe I can be more powerful than I thought.



　◇



　And with the help of alchemy, the two pistols that Fear had wanted were completed.


''Wow!　You've really made it!


　Fear takes the two guns with a big smile on her face.
　I'm glad to see you like this.
　This was also a good opportunity to try out some alchemy.


What the hell are you guys doing?


　Mr. Lloyd came into the arena .
　And when he noticed the two guns in Feer's hand, he was surprised to see his mouth wide open.


'Phi, Fea!　How much did this handgun cost you, man?　We couldn't afford it, could we?　Huh?



Oh, Dad!　Don't worry!　I had this built by Mr. Revell.

Huh?　...... This was built by Revell?

　Slowly moving his head and turning to me, Mr. Lloyd .

'Yes,'

'...... hahahahaha ...... gahhaha!　You are indeed a son of Aden!

　What does this have to do with your father, the Swordsman?　I wondered, but I tried not to say anything tactful.

''Okay, then we can join the special training fee tomorrow!

What?

　Fear rolls his eyes and a puzzled look on his face.

'We didn't even buy you a weapon before, I couldn't train you, but Revel built you one for me!　I'm going to train you hard!

...... yes ...... I'm glad you're happy, dad .......

　Fia nodded repeatedly with tears in her eyes .

''Hahaha!　You'll be happy enough to cry!　Dad would be happy too!

　I don't know how to interpret Fia's appearance as happy.
　She looks uncomfortable no matter how you look at it .

　...... But training enough to make Fia cry.

　This should be fun.

　It would be nice if you could teach me a skill like "demonization" that my dad helped me acquire: .......

　Well, we'll see what happens.
