Making Magic Tools

Its good that I learned how magic tools are made, but I still dont get whats what.

I seriously have no clue what Kantras talking about

I get it~, so in other words you do this

Oooh! Thats a good line! Good, good, run it along like that.

Mmm, I want the fire attribute here~

Repeat just like that, go again right, aaaaand, there.

I get it~!

And somehow Nerunes understood what hes saying. Whats with this girl. I have a lot of excellent subordinates dont I~, itll be fine doing nothing and just leaving it all to them~

Sensei~! Theres that feeling heeere!

What a wonderful assistant! Right, the magic formations free, so do what you want!

And now Nerunes somehow Kantras assistant, calling him sensei.

Rather, whatever she wants? You sure about that?

Then then~! Lets engrave it onto my bodyyy! Wouldnt that be cool~!?

Ooh! That sounds painful! Youre a girl, cut it out!

What the heck made you feel like putting a magic formation that shoots out water onto a body well, itd be useful on a golems body or something yep, maybe I could turn a magic tool into a golem? Im concerned about whether or not it would interfere with the golem magic formation, but it should be fine if anything goes.

Itd be helpful if was an amplification magic formation though~ why not go for it~?

Hmph, but Ive never carved a magic formation onto a persons body before. Assistant! Carve a bit onto me! Itll be fine on the chest since it wont affect my work, so take off some skin with the knife

Yes~! Here I come~!

Guah!? Ow!! But I wont give in!!

Oi, seriously, the heck are you guys doing? All Im seeing here is someone stabbing someone else with a knife rather, she is actually stabbing him

Ha! I lost myself for a little~. Sorry, master~

No, its fine alright, get to the point that you can make magic tools if you want to.

Leave it to me~!

Nerune smiled while still holding a bloody knife up front of her. Oh no this girls a mad scientist type, isnt she?

O-oi, finish your work. The pain is bad but not finishing is worse.

Ah, okaaaay, sensei~

Turning around abruptly, Nerune continued placing the knife in her hand into Kantra. Yep, thats stabbing~

Well, shes having fun, so Im going to head back. All things considered, it looks like Nerune has talent in making magic tools. Please make me some magic tools later. Her race being apprentice witch wasnt just for show, huh.

Come to think of it, I need to actually learn about this worlds writing system before thinking about learning the magic formations and characters used to make magic tools huh. Sounds troublesome. Pass.

Lets leave it to Nerune, yep.

Since the saintess got gobbled up two times with yesterday and today, Rokuko spun the 1000 DP gacha.

The results

Oh, a dummy core! I know because I know a lot about dungeon cores!

This dummy core looks purple. Almost like its poisonous, whys the color different?

I wonder? Maybe it feels sick or something?

Didnt you know a lot about dungeon cores? Rather, they turn blue when they feel sick?

Along with the purple-shining dummy core

This is I dont really get it, but its a skill scroll a scroll of [Chef]? I havent heard about that skill.

It looks like a skill that Kinue-san would use.

It was a mysterious skill scroll.

Both of them seemed to be worth more than 1000 DP though. That dummy cores worth around 5000 DP its purple for some reason though and that skill isnt in the catalog. Whats with her luck? Theres no way her status luck level is anything but crazy.

Well, considering her life till now, she needed that luck to just stay alive

Lets assume this skill will go to Kinue-san, but for this dummy core a spare, I guess? We can put in a new core room somewhere after the new riddle areas interior finishes, just keep it in the master rooms warehouse for a while.

Im getting a bad premonition, but theres nothing to do about it for now.

I get the feeling that we shouldnt use this dummy core if possible.

Alright, time to ignore it. Lets pretend we never saw it.

As I was deciding that, Rokuko poked me in the side.

That tickles, whatre you doing?

Hey, Kehma. What about Rin? Will you put it under the dungeons control?

Huh? Under its control? What does that mean?

Hey, werent you listening just now? Its the same with how monsters that get summoned with DP, you can have them obey orders and deploy them.

Aah I didnt know we could do something like that, tell me something like that sooner!

Rokuko taught me about it boastfully.

Putting a monster under our control requires its acceptance. Furthermore, its apparently no good trying to do it without them knowing exactly what it means to be placed under the dungeons control tricking things wont work.

Theres also a method of forcibly putting something under our control. We just need to make them surrender; this method is for placing monsters that arent intelligent under our command.

But well also stop getting DP from monsters under our rule I wonder why?

Haku Ane-sama taught me.

Heeh, thought so.

It would hurt to lose 950 DP a day. Isnt it fine to just leave things going how they are? Thanks to it were steadily accumulating a lot of DP. Together with Rin Fever, I have Saintess Fever too. [1]

Well, theres a limit to turning things into followings. Itd be hard even just saying whether I could get it to surrender.

Maybe itll be fine just leaving it as is Its probably no good, but how about I go talk to Rin about it?

Footnotes:

The fever being referred to at the end is the Fever Time of pachinko machines. If youve ever played a western pinball machine that had bonus targets which give you extra balls or increased score for a while once you hit all of them, its a sort of bonus round like that. -Credit to Raitzeno-
