200 Goddess and royalty
Rosemary's magic doll is a type of magical creature. A doll's body is created, and intangible magical creatures, like spirits, reside there and settle there.
It's like putting a pseudo-soul into a doll called a container. Performance varies widely. This is because not only the hard aspects such as the quality of the doll's body and the materials used to make it, but also the soft aspects such as the type of catalyst used to create the magical creature that lives inside, the arrangement and improvement of the technique, etc. are tested.
The design concept of the dolls I fought at Anastasia's mansion was that by having each part be independent and linked to a certain extent, multiple dolls could replace each other's parts even if they were destroyed. This is so that even if it gets destroyed a little, those who are unharmed can immediately join together and fight.
Thanks to that design concept, it was possible for multiple bodies to be connected and act as one giant doll. They were trying to balance strength as a group and strength as individuals.
What I am making this time is a product that simply pursues my strength as an individual. There was a Dragon Tooth Soldier, and they could have made up for it by combining them, so they put off making such a prominent doll until later, but apparently the idea itself had been there for a while.
"I'm going to assemble the doll's body, so I want you to make the armor."
When I offered to help with the development, Rosemary smiled as if she was playing some kind of trick. That's why we spread out the drawings on the table in the entertainment room and discuss various things.
The reason I'm doing this in the entertainment room is because I have a group of people with a lot of combat experience, so I want to hear their opinions.
The idea was to prepare some tea and sweets, relax and talk about doll development.
"What's the material?"
"Mithril silver. It is enchanted by engraving a technique on the back to strengthen the structure and increase its strength."
"I see. If you balance lightness and strength, you can supplement it with magic."
It would certainly be a good idea to ask Alfred. At the Breitwelt workshop, it is possible to have custom-made armor made, and you can freely engrave your magic techniques on it.
“That's fine for defense, but if you activate the enchantment, the magical creatures you've incorporated may run out of breath.If you compensate for that by incorporating magic stones into the body, you can make them stronger. I think I can move quickly as well."
“If mobility is an issue, I think it would be a good idea to incorporate air combat equipment from the beginning.”
Arm strength and armor, as well as mobility and flight ability...Yeah. Being strong is a good thing, simply and clearly.
``Incorporating aerial combat equipment is just attaching magic tools to each location, so it's not much different from what we've been doing up until now...but in that case, it would be better not to use half-baked magic stones for the doll's body. ”
"In that case, what about the giant's magic stone?"
said Grace, who was listening to the story.
"A giant's magic stone? Is there such a thing?"
“Grace killed him in the Flaming Citadel the other day.”
"Is it okay for me to use something so precious? I haven't done anything with it yet."
“I think the better we can make it, the more it will lead to Theo’s safety.”
Hearing Grace's words, Rosemary closes her eyes and smiles gently.
"...That's right. That's certainly true. I'll put it to good use."
"yes"
According to Rosemary's words that were spilled yesterday, the residents of this house don't have to read the front and back, so they can be relieved of their bad breath.
Since he put me in danger twice, I thought he would be punished even more, but apparently he was disappointed. Well...the book incident probably wasn't Rosemary's fault, and we all know that she helped out in a lot of ways.
Maybe it's because she's in a different position now that she's lost the right to inherit the throne, but that's probably why I feel Rosemary's friendliness has softened. Grace is also in the royal castle---she's probably the type that Rosemary hasn't had around her in particular.
"--As for me, I would like to use the Flame Demon's magic stone to make weapons for the dolls."
"weapon?"
"I wonder if it will become a magic tool. I would like to ask Alfred for that as well."
"I don't mind, but I'm curious to see what pops out."
Hmm. Wouldn't it be faster to make a model using earth magic than to explain it verbally? Judging from the design concept of the doll, it will probably be used as an avant-garde. In that case, something that can be used in close range combat is better. After that, we will use fire magic.
If you also think about challenging the Flaming Citadel, there will be more situations where using fire as is is not very effective. In that case, let's specialize in physics to gain versatility. Rosemary can provide magical support.
"Is this... a gauntlet?"
It's a gauntlet-like weapon with a claw. It can't be helped that it looks a little harsh.
"It can also be used as a gauntlet. I put a magic stone in here, and when I use it, I hook it with a claw and fix it, then use fire magic..."
When you activate the gimmick with light fire magic, a stake will fly out from the back of your gauntlet. Alfred and Rosemary's eyes widened.
In short, it's a pile bunker. Usually, it is used as a gauntlet with claws for attack and defense, and it is used to slam into piles against big game.
“We used Barus silver in the core of the stake to ensure its weight.We covered the surrounding area with mithril and carved a spell so that after driving the stake in, we could activate the magic from within...How about something like this?Improved. I think there's a lot of room for this, so I need to talk to Viola and do some experiments."
There is a theory that it would be better to shoot it as a bullet, but ordinary metals are too powerful, and Valus silver and Mithril silver are precious, so it would be too expensive to throw them away. Also, clearly developing a gun would have an impact later on.
In that respect, if it's a magic tool that uses rare magic stones, it's difficult to analyze and track. Since it doesn't need to rely on fighting spirit, it would also be suitable as a doll weapon.
"Do magic inside..."
"...I often come up with things like this."
The two of them are looking intently at the model they received from me.
"This is what happens with fire magic...it uses the pressure of the blast. I wonder if the entire gauntlet will explode?"
"That's where the Resonance Mine is applied, giving directionality to the explosion and concentrating the power in one point, like shooting out a stake."
I will be in charge of describing the technique, but in any case, I will do the experiment first. Since the essential power is unknown, I tried making it using precious magic stones, but it was too weak to be talked about. Before incorporating the magic stone, it would be necessary to make the firing mechanism and see how powerful it is.
For now, I have an idea of the types and amounts of materials needed. I also need to have a tailor take a look at Alkeny's fabric, so I'll go out to buy materials later. For today, I'm planning to relax at home and also hold a welcome party for Rosemary.
“Come to think of it, there are a lot of strange servants.”
Once they had finished, Rosemary looked at the servants taking a break in the entertainment room and tilted her head. It seemed like a genuine question. Is it because they are meritocracy that they don't care about their origins?
Because we haven't heard Claudia's identity yet. I don't even know how this happened.
"Oh, that's-"
"Theodore. I'll explain it to you."
Claudia takes over my words. The only part that has been conveyed is that she and Marlene use a blessing to nullify the book's spell, but Rosemary must be concerned about Claudia's behavior since she is acting like a noble.
When Claudia told her about her background, Rosemary was speechless, as it was unexpected.
"The contract partner for the ceremony of protecting the country... Even though I didn't know him, I was disrespectful to him."
Rosemary bows to Claudia on one knee and bows her head. There is no hesitation there. ...Well, that's right. He is the same as giving kingship to Veldgar.
"Um... I'd be happy if you could treat me normally."
"If you wish. But before you do, I would like to let you know that I respect you."
“Your words have been taken seriously.”
Hearing those words, Rosemary stands up. Considering the contents of the pledge magic, Rosemary's current words have no hidden meaning or tactics.
Respect. Have you taken on the responsibility of regenerating the world? After that, it became the foundation of the labyrinth and supported the kingdom for many years. Even if they were born into the same royal family. As a member of the Veldgar royal family. Besides, Rosemary, who advocates meritocracy, probably has a lot of things to think about Claudia.
But, well... this reaction after learning about Claudia's situation suggests that she will be willing to help out in the analysis of the labyrinth's technique after defeating the Last Guardian, which is something I'm grateful for.
