*Clank!!*

*Clank!!*

Inside a certain room, there’re five figures focusing on their task.

“Arc, give me that.”

“Okay.”

“Raina, cool the iron.”

“Yes.”

“Herlin, have you prepared the pelt?”

“This, Sis.”

“Slyph, please put the enhancement”

“It’s ready.”

“Good.”

*Clank!!*

*Clank!!*

Misha kept hitting the hot iron while she giving commands.

*Ksshhh!*

“At last…”

After finished her part, she’d proceed to last step.

“Let’s assemble this child!”

“We did it, Everyone!”

Misha having a high-five with everyone after seeing the result of their long project.

“Yes, Sis!”

“Congratulation, Young Lady.”

“That’s great.”

“Good work everyone.”

Herlin, Raina, Arc, Slyph giving their respective respond toward her.

After finishing the small congratulation party, Misha picked the crossbow they have finished.

“Let’s go to test field.”

Misha then brought the group to field behind the workshop.

The test field, a place where many kinds testing for creation was done. One of most dangerous places in village.

Despite the infamy, no one stopping their group entering since they are the very source of infamy.

“We’re finished the ‘Firestorm Project’. With this, we’ve our own personal strong self-defense weapon.”

Misha lifted the crossbow.

Unlike normal crossbow, the crossbow in her arm was thicker and there an extra handle below the bow, and Slyph’s enhancement rune covering the entire body.

Misha put the crossbow on nearby table, turn at people behind.

“Let’s test this thing.”

Upon heard ‘test this’ everyone took few steps away from her.

“…”

Misha was speechless.

After few moments of silence, she turned to Herlin.

“Herlin.”

*Flinched*

“Yes, Sis.”

“Could I borrow Mr. Black Bunny?”

“……Sis…are you going to make Mr. Black Bunny your test subject again?”

“Ahahaha. You’re bit wrong. It’s more like Mr. Black Bunny will testing the test subject.”

“What difference! No, please don’t! The last time was already bad for him!”

Herlin, alongside small doll in her arm, shaking their head strongly. The doll, Mr. Black Bunny, already trembling upon arriving on test field.

Seeing Mr. Black Bunny humanly reaction made Misha wondering if it’s actually alive.

“Herlin…”

“Please don’t!”

“I see.”

Misha back down with dejected expression.

Herlin hurriedly took many steps back. No longer she’d deceived by her sister pitiful face after the last time.

Misha sighed.

It’s not like she’d force her.

Nothing she can do about it remembering the incident in last failure. She almost turned Mr. Black Bunny to Mr. Ash Bunny.

*Sigh*

“Seems there no other choice. Arc will do it.”

“…Sis, you devil……”

“It’s joke.”

Misha giggling to frightened Herlin.

“Let me do.”

Unexpectedly, Arc’s volunteering himself.

“Big brother!”

“Arc, are you sure?”

“Master, please stop.”

“Are you serious doing this?”

Arc shrugging at the girls’ exclamation.

“Well, someone will do it eventually. I’m also curious what we’ve actually created.”

“Master, isn’t it dangerous? Have you forgotten what’s happened?”

“That’s right. It’s quite spectacle event.”

Raina and Slyph trying to stop him.

“Don’t be too anxious. Wasn’t I gotten out fine.”

“…Yeah…how you were fine that time was become one of village ten mysteries.”

“Aren’t you too exaggerated Slyph? Let’s me test this.”

Arc picked the crossbow and begin to aim the target on field.

Everyone immediately took long stride from him.

“…”

Arc speechless by their reaction and decided to ignore them.

He carefully aims the target then pull the trigger.

A bolt flew across the field, hitting the target.

Afterward, a thunderous sound and blight light burst upon the hit.

The bolt exploded alongside the target.

“…”

Arc marveled by power it created.

Have yet the dust settled, Arc grab extra handle below the crossbow, then pull it.

The crossbow expanded, stretched out its string, automatically reload another bolt from the magazine. Crossbow returned to it original form as Arc releasing the second handle.

Arc quickly aim the other target and another explosion occurred.

He repeating the steps several time until he run out bolt.

“Yay! It’s a success!”

Misha jumped in joy, showing her rare childish moment.

It’s the result of their project, a rapid shoot magic crossbow.

This magic crossbow was something she built in whim after inspired by something from the depth of her memory.

After many trials and errors, involving Arc, Raina, Herlin and Slyph in her small project, she finally managed to created it.

The bolt it shot not limited to exploding bolts. There several various others type magic bolts.

“Stop Arc. Let me take my turn.”

Arc handing the crossbow to her.

Accompanied by Herlin and Raina, she testing the crossbow with other type magic bolts.

Arc stands on Slyph side, watching the undergoing of testing from distance.

He glanced the elf, seeing frowns formed on her forehead.

“What’s wrong, Slyph?”

“Nothing.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, don’t be offended, I just feel bit weird with Misha’s talent.”

“…So do I.”

Arc nodding understandly.

“You don’t need worry I’ll feel offended. I also still can’t relate how she’s a great healer and skilled artificer at same time.”

“Yeah. I got impression those are quite incompatible skill.”

“Not only that, she is a strong berserker.”

“Hahaha, that’s right, isn’t it.”

Arc was wondering what’s wrong with Misha’s ability.

If it briefed in short sentence, he can say:

“It’s messy all rounded.”

Misha haves all aptitude magic with high prominence in healing magic. A promising and talented artificer. She having illogical strength and fighting with big hammer like a berserker. Her past also made her know quite a bit of politic and trade.

She gotten a widespread talent, making her jack of all trade and maybe become master of all when she grows further.

The point is; Misha was a girl with many talents.

“Having a talent is lucky. Having many talents is outrageous. Not something should be envied though.”

“Which mouth said that? You and other two brides were similar with her.”

“Who are my–Just forget it.”

As Slyph said; Arc, also Raina and Herlin are also people with various talents like Misha.

Their talent quite widespread; from combat, artistic, production talent, even some that deemed useless.

Their situation so unique, enough made the elders in village perplexed upon discovery.

However, it’s only that.

“Is that actually great? We’re even weaker than you when you’re weakest among them.”

Despite of that, the four of them actually the village weakest.

“Hey, don’t say that. It’s because our circumstance very special we’re strong. Not like the four of you who are pure talent and hard work.”

Slyph said while rubbing her sleeve.

“Maybe….”

Arc nodded acknowledging knowing the circumstance she spoke of.

He glanced the sleeve, remembering what she said about her situation and future will come.

“Being chosen ones seems have its hardship.”

“…”

Slyph was silent.

“Slyph?”

“Hey…”

“?”

Slyph turned at him with most serious face she ever shown.

Sensing her sudden change of mood, Arc tilted.

“……When you will leave?”

“Ah, that…”

Arc scratched his head as she suddenly brought up such unpleasant topic.

It seems she also one that didn’t like the news of their early departure.

In fact, she was paralyzed for half of day when she first heard it.

“Maybe next month. We have a month to settle everything before leave.”

“I see…”

A moment of silence permeating between them. Leaving the sound of explosion and Misha’s joyful voice in the space.

After a while, Slyph break the silence.

“Seems I have a month time to play.”

Her voice was weak, almost disappear in midst of commotion.

“Yeah, we still have a month.”

Arc replied.

A small smile forming on Slyph’s face.

“Hey–”

*Snap*

*Boom!!*

*Kyaaa!!*

A snap resounded in the air following by explosion. It’s occurred on Misha’s group.

“!?”

“What happened!?"

Arc and Slyph turned to source of commotion. Saw what happened there. It seems another failure testing was occurred.

Misha and others coughing as their body smoking.

After they saw the situation, they regained their composure.

“Another failure, huh.”

“You seem didn’t worry about them.”

“They will fine. No need to panic. Having said that, I need to look them.”

Arc runs toward the girls.

“…”

Watching the boy’s back, Slyph letting out small smile before following him.

“By the way, what are you trying to say, Arc?”

“No, nothing.”
