Episode 338 Taichi's Consultation

 I fled to the stairs and remembered how to use the "Guided Brit". When I activated it with multiple parallel activation, I had a hard time setting up the target.

You look disgruntled, is something wrong?"

 When I told him that I had fumbled with the targeting, Métis said that I had no choice.

'Well, I suppose it's the first time it's happened, but I was curious about the range and flight speed of the D-particle guided bombs.

 The "Guided Brit" has only the minimum functionality needed to test the tracking function. Since the amount of D-particles collected was limited, a sufficient amount of D-particles could not be used for acceleration and the speed was only as fast as a bow and arrow.

 However, if a small bullet flies as fast as a bow and arrow, it is difficult for even demons with excellent D-particle sensing ability to avoid it. The exception is a quick demon such as a silver ogre. If it is a silver ogre, it may be able to be shot away with a weapon.

The range can only be increased by adding the "dispersion deterrent" characteristic.

But I've already given you two D-particle secondary mutation properties."

As a result of your training, you have increased your ability to interfere with D-particles, so perhaps you are now able to grant three of them.

 That being said, I wanted to give it a try.

I'll go home and give it a try." Let's go home and give it a try."

 I returned Elmore to the shadow and headed for the surface. I moved from the transfer gate on the tenth layer to the first layer, and when I came out on the ground, Goto and the others were about to enter the dungeon.

"Whoa, you've been to the tenth layer?"

Yes, I was trying to figure out how to break through the slug meadow."

"Oh, you think that's going to break through?"

I don't know yet. Do you think Goto-san and the others will be able to break through?"

 Goto laughs shyly.

I am ashamed to admit it, but this time I am going to imitate Mr. Ishibashi and the others. I'm ashamed to admit it, but this time I'm going to do what Mr. Ishibashi and the others are doing. So I'm going to secure the coiled peach first."

 I was shut up in the mansion, so I didn't know that information.

What kind of adventurers are coming?"

Leocadio Montaner, ranked ninety-sixth in Spain, and Craig Samwell, ranked forty-third in the United States, contacted the Adventurers' Guild.

 These two seem to be adventurers who specialize in collecting materials that can be used as medicine.

 When Ishibashi put the coiled peach that caused these adventurers to gather together on the auction block, it apparently sold for more than the price of an advanced healing magic potion.

If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

 The effect of the coiled peach, the regeneration of blood vessels, seems to have become highly prized because of its anti-aging properties. If that's the case, I'd like to secure some too.

Then the Adventurers' Guild made it a rule that only ripe coiled peaches could be gathered.

Why?"

Apparently, only ripe ones have the effect of regenerating blood vessels."

 I thanked them for the information and then left Goto and the others. When I returned to the mansion after changing at the dungeon house, Nezu and Taichi were watching TV in the dining room.

Welcome back."

 Kongoji and Toshizo say in unison.

I'm home. Did you notice anything unusual?"

Nothing in particular. If I had to say, I would say that Mr. Taichi was doing some research in the reference room.

 Taichi was apparently researching Firedrake in a book I had purchased called "The Encyclopedia of Demons.

'Dr. Grimm, I'm planning to defeat Firedrake with Mr. Tesshin, Ami and the others, how should I train?'

 Boomerang Wing", "Magnetic Barrier", and "Thunder Sword" are needed for fire drake hunting. These living magics were already registered with the Magic Agency.

 I would like to see living  wizards also be active in advanced dungeons, so I would like to register more and more living wizards up to magic level 15. However, I am restraining myself from doing so too hastily, because it would be conspicuous and some people might think that the wisemen are not living wizards.

First, you need to raise your magic level to 14. Then I should learn 'Boomerang Wing,' 'Magnetic Barrier,' and 'Thunder Sword,' and train for aerial combat."

If you want to level up, the Iron Golem is the most efficient way to do it."

 Taichi says, as if he is about to head for the dungeon.

Wait, Taichi's sudden rise to the D level has caused some concern about his magical capacity."

 When I checked, I found that compared to the amount of magic Alisa and her team had when they challenged Firedrake, Taichi now had about 70% of it. This is because he has learned useful magic such as "Wing" and has spent less time in the dungeon.

 I also spent less time in the dungeon before coming back, but I did it more often than other adventurers, so I had more magical power than other adventurers with the same years of experience.

 I am not going to recommend this method to Taichi, because it is the result of diving into a dungeon without taking a rest, although he should really dive into a dungeon after being sufficiently tired. However, in a place like a beginner's dungeon, there would be little risk.

Taichi is a substitute teacher at the Magic Academy, so maybe he could practice his rapid-fire and aerial combat skills in the Giant Tree Dungeon."

When you say aerial combat, do you practice with 'wings'?"

 This is so because he has not yet mastered "Boomerang Wing".

"Yes," he said. You should also practice descending from the air using an airbag."

 I was also concerned about their poor armor and weapons. Weapons are fine since they have life magic, but they need more defensive armor. I pointed this out to them.

I understand. I will think about the protective gear."

 Since Karina and Tesshin are also at the Magic Academy, I would have no trouble finding someone to talk to. Nezu was silently listening to what Taichi and I were saying. He looked a little envious.

 However, Nezu, who had just taken the promotion test and become E level, was too young to hunt for fire drakes. Besides, the number of people hunting for fire drakes is limited to five, so the number of hunters cannot be increased.

 Taichi left and Nezu returned to the attic. I went to the workroom alone and brought the shadow puppets out of the shadows before starting up with the sage system.

Now let's see if we can improve on 'Guided Brits.'"

You mentioned that you were concerned about range and flying speed, which are you going to improve?"

I'd like to improve on both, but first the range."

 I once stripped "Guided Britt" of its and characteristics. Then, using , I tried to put together the three characteristics of , , and .

 In the past, I would have given up on it because I just couldn't get it together, but this time I felt like I could manage it if I strengthened my interference. I concentrated on drawing out the power of the "organization.

 After five minutes of trial and error, the three characteristics clicked together.

I've done it. All that's left is to grant it."

 I succeeded in giving "Guided Brit" the characteristics of , , and .

 But from the response, four seems impossible. Perhaps it would be possible if the interference to the D-particle is enhanced.

'Congratulations. How will you improve it afterwards?'

"We're going to increase the amount of D-particles we collect a little bit and use those D-particles to increase the speed of our flight."

 The D-particle guided projectile was about the size of a handgun bullet, but it has tripled in size to about the size of a rifle bullet. I know that handgun bullets and rifle bullets come in a variety of sizes, but this is just a comparison to the size of the handgun bullets and rifle bullets that first came to my mind.

 This improvement increased the flying speed by 50% and expanded the range of the spatial vibration wave to about 20 cm in diameter. It was possible to increase the amount of D-particles collected, but this would have lengthened the activation time, so it was decided not to do so.
