Become A Human In Another World
ACT 2: Chapter 9 - Strange Place
"Ahh, quite tiring, but also fun!" I sighed slowly as I felt the wind flowing down my cheeks as I lay on the green grass.
It's Sunday, and it looks like this afternoon, I will be reunited with Syila, the girl who somehow got engaged to me 2 years later.
But the whole point of this is Childe.
He was well-intentioned to protect me, and also to watch over me. I don't know if he has some bad intentions, but I'd better not think about that.
"But it's been 1 month?" I murmured softly, remembering the rights thing that happened this late. To be exact, it has been a month since the incident, and also I taught Brother Edna in her magic.
He was now getting more and more proficient in controlling his light magic. Even though he still needs a neat, but the chant he put out is still faster than the others.
Although I can cast magic with a pause of 0.1 seconds, but Edna's brother who can remove it in a pause of 2 seconds is quite good.
He could use the Light element's magic attack, and had even begun to learn to create defensive walls from his Ice element. That's an incredible progress.
And more amazingly, he could master it within a month.
"Regarding that, all of the information Childe provided was all cryptic." I remember our meeting the last few times.
He regularly visited me once every 1 week, to give information, discuss his thoughts, or even just stop by for tea.
He really likes my tea.
Well, even though I admit my tea-making ability improved because of this, but he's kind of annoying.
He used to tease me, whatever the topic was. And finally, I became very close to Childe. Although not as close as my father, but arguably very close if for the size of a stranger.
And he also talked about my engagement to Syila. Ughhhh! It's so annoying to remember that...
Suzu has also been able to communicate, and play with us as usual now. You could say, this is perfect peace.
Even so, I can't be complacent with this. The brain of last month's incident hasn't been caught. This worries me. I can't possibly just let go.
Besides, there was something strange about Suzu.
I've heard things like "They're growing faster than me" or like "There's only one option to accept." What I heard from his room.
Not that I eavesdropped, I just happened to pass through his room and hear it! That's all! Yep! Camn it!
But after that, there is news that Suzu will be transferred to undergo private education to hone her skills. I also thought it would help him a little.
But, anyone who thought this sounded quite strange. Think about. They sent Suuz to a good teacher, but didn't invite him here? Isn't that weird enough?
"Eitherway. I can only handle my own problems. Because I honestly have a lot of problems here. Especially for armaments." I nodded my head when I remembered that.
I've stayed up a lot to design a firearm, but I don't have the materials suitable for it yet.
Like I shaped it out of a rock, but when I fired it, it exploded all over the gun.
It was unfortunate to destroy it in one shot.
Then it sounds stupid, but I made it out of wood. It's no ordinary wood, but I'm pouring my Fehl into that wood.
This was shocking, but it almost held him back, but the mouth of the rifle became widened after one shot. In other words, it also failed.
I've tried to design it using ordinary stones, but as I expected, its power is still very lacking. I need something stronger now.
And again, I need some kind of explosive powder for the bullet thrusters to jump fast.
I used to think that there was a possibility that someone was moving very fast, like a bullet. Therefore, I want to make a weapon that speeds more than sound. Hehe, it will please my heart.
"I think I should look for it again, okay?" I've read there are indeed some things similar to what I want.
Azantine stone, the hardest stone in the world. It is a rare material, even can not be formed with anything.
I wondered why the material was so expensive. But it cannot be destroyed. So how do you shape it?
The characteristic feature of the azantine stone is that it is silver in color, with little light if exposed to the sun. It will not be overgrown with moss or anything, because the surface is solid. Even it will not be destroyed by water.
I seem to have heard of such stone features. But I kind of forgot. Alright. To the second material, I need mesophyte stone, as a substitute for gunpowder.
It is red, explosive when hit at high speed, but non-flammable and soft. It's kind of weird, but it's another world. Everything can happen.
But because it is dangerous, the use of the stone is quite prohibited. In addition, there is not enough technology to process it.
In other words, it suits me.
"But where can I find the azantine stone?" I slowly thought about it.
Uh! I remember! There's a stone with a similar description in the waterfall where I'm practicing, right? The stone was not mossy, not even crushed by water. Not wrong anymore. That must be the stone I was looking for!
In a hurry, I immediately headed for the waterfall where I trained first. I can confirm the stone immediately.
"I thought!" I just screamed with excitement when I found him.
That's the stone I mean! And again, there are not a few, but very many here. It's like azantine paradise!
I approached the stone slowly, while turning it into a small square box that was just right for me to turn into a small cube that was just the right size for my experiment of making weapons.
"I wonder, how much can I get this?" I continued to do so while slowly putting the cube on the riverbank.
I've made 40 cubes. Actually the cube is not too big. Only the size of 10×10 cm. And it only weighs 1 kg. It was a very fitting weight for a weapon to make!
"Hmm, well we've got 60 and it's not over. Do, whoaa!!" I tried to jump in, but I lost my balance and hit the ground in front of me.
Unfortunately, the ground collapsed and brought me down to a place about 2 meters deep!
"Ughs. That's hurtful. Very!" I screamed as I tried to crawl out of the rock that was hoarding me.
I saw the red dirt bury me, which was scattered because I hit it.
I looked up, looking at the light from the crack while inspecting my entrance. I saw silver light coming from the azantines, and some flowing from there.
"Ahh, it's deep enough, but I should be able to climb it." I nodded slowly, and checked the surroundings.
I can't say what now.
"What is this place?!"
