Episode 152 Convertible and Boomerang(TN:Technically it says Open Car in katakana, but Convertible is what that refers to.)

After finishing the flight experiment, I was thinking while looking at the surface of the water on the shore of the Dam Lake.

"A windshield, the easiest way is to surround the sheet with something like a streamlined capsule, but that would make it impossible to attack with magic."

[ Wouldn't it be fine to make it look like the Convertible I saw on TV? ]

Metis, who was silently involved in the experiment, offered her opinion.

A single-seat Convertible, is it, as an experiment, I attached a streamlined windbreak around the seat, I connected it in the form of incorporating an inverted V-shaped swept wing there.

Of course, there were no tires or steering wheel, so it had a neat shape. Even so, I thought it had a flaw because it was just a form of thought. It should be improved from now on.

I tried the flight test again. Even if I increased the speed, the strong wind didn't hit me directly thanks to the windshield. It felt like I was riding an old B2 Stealth Bomber, but it actually looked like I was riding a weird toy fighter plane.

I thought of improving it so that it had a more sophisticated form.

It felt good to glide over the surface of the lake. I flew over the sparkling, glittery surface of the lake while avoiding waterfowl. Even at the top speed of 180 km/h, I didn't need goggles.

If this were a motorcycle or car that ran on the ground, it might be scary, but flying in the sky is only half as scary. This is because there are few obstacles.

It wasn't complete yet, but this magic was called 'Boomerang Wing'. It meant wings like a boomerang. Strictly speaking, it was a swept wing, the wings were swept back, but 'Boomerang Wing' was easier to remember.

However, if you think of 'Boomerang Wing', you may imagine it flying while spinning, so it won't live up to your expectations.

'Boomerang Wing' had a cruising range of about 50 km, so if it flew at full power, it could only fly for about 15 minutes. The cruising range was too short compared to airplanes, but it was enough if used in the dungeon.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road. If you spot it on Amazon, please report it.

On that day, while my magical power lasted, I continued flight experiments and magic improvements. An interesting phenomenon was found. While flying at about 70 km/h, I tried shooting a 'Cone Arrow' that had an initial speed of about 70 km/h.

When I shot it forward, it shot out at a slightly slower speed than when I shot it on the ground, and it accelerated. What that meant was that the D-Particle Cone would be shot at the original speed plus the flight speed of the 'Boomerang Wing'.

It felt a little delayed because of the wind pressure.

I was tired. It must have been the effect of running out of magical power. That day's flight experiment was over, and I registered 'Boomerang Wing' in the Sage System.

However, it was only a temporary registration. It looked like there was still room for improvement.

Yukari attended a party at a hotel. It was a party hosted by the university hospital where her parents worked.

"As usual, you have a displeased expression."

She was approached by a university student she knew.

A medical student named Murata Takayuki, the son of her mother's colleague.

"Because, this party is for Professor Mishima's thesis, it's something that was published in a famous magazine. It has nothing to do with me."

"Maybe so, but it might be useful later if Professor Mishima remembers your face and name."

"Takayuki-san, that may be true, but I have no intention of becoming a doctor, so it doesn't matter to me."

"Hou, what will Associate Professor Kimishima's daughter become in the future?"

The person who called out from behind was Professor Mishima, the main character of the day.

"Ahh, Professor. Congratulations."

Yukari hurriedly said words of congratulations.

"Thank you. So, can you tell me?"

"I plan to become an adventurer."

"That's surprising. Why don't you become a doctor?"

Yukari shrugged her shoulders.

"Because I'm not smart enough to be a doctor."

"People have their pros and cons, so it can't be helped. However, is it possible to become an adventurer?"

"Yeah, I'm already an E-class adventurer."

"That's great. Right ..."

Professor Mishima called out to a man named Gotou.

"He is also an adventurer. He would be your senior."

Gotou, holding a wine glass, looked at Yukari.

"Ojou-san is an adventurer, too, huh. What kind of magic are you good at?"

"Attack Magic and Life Magic."

"I see, so you're an Attack Wizard. I'm also an Attack Wizard."

When Yukari heard that he was an Attack Wizard, she remembered a story about a B-class adventurer named Gotou, an Attack Wizard, who had moved to Shibugami City to dive into an advanced dungeon.

"I've heard Gotou-san's name. Are you going to challenge the Narukami Dungeon?"

"Ahh, right."

"But, why is the adventurer Gotou-san at this party?"

"When I got seriously injured in the dungeon, Professor Mishima took care of me."

At that time, there was a loud noise near the entrance. Then, a scream rose up.

Professor Mishima turned his gaze in that direction and raised his voice.

"What happened?"

"Professor, Lecturer Sasaki got drunk and fell down. It seems that he cut his head at that time."

The Professor approached the injured person. Yukari chased after the Professor from behind. A man in his thirties was lying on the floor, his head bleeding profusely.

"What are you standing about in a daze for. If you're a doctor, why don't you treat him."

The Professor raised his voice. But all the doctors hesitated. Because they were drinking. Someone called an ambulance, but no one tried to treat him.

Yukari found her father and called out to him.

"Otou-san, why don't you treat him?"

"I was drinking. Also, I specialize in internal medicine."

"Enough, I'll treat him."

Professor Mishima said. But, the one who drank the most was the Professor. Yukari wondered if he was okay with such a red face.

At that moment, Gotou raised his voice.

"Is there anyone here who can use 'Cure'?"

Healing with Lifeblood Magic was permitted in an emergency.

"Yes, I can use it."

Yukari stepped forward.
