234 Lesson 233
"There are two of my people who can resize their bodies. Besides me, there are other people who use this disguised bracelet. So we're going to need equipment that can accommodate both the disguised figure and what it is and what it is. The three of them can make weapons, protective equipment and accessories. At a high level, too. Just..."
Karena nodded loudly as Aotearoa said that much.
"I see, I want to make gear that changes according to my shape and characteristics. So, I want to incorporate alchemist technology. That's what I'm talking about."
So far Karena had guessed everything.
"You're fast and helpful."
"Uh, so why do you even need Mr. Laurie? With your mother would be enough, wouldn't it?
Laurie seems to be in sincere doubt and had her neck around her left and right many times.
"There are three artisans. Antogal, Bogdi and Alisa. Wouldn't it be hard to see the three of us just Karena? So I thought it would be easier to get one artisan to work on it."
"Three?
When she whined so, Laurie saw about her daughter, Elmia. Fished by it and some see about Elmia.
"What, eh? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!? Wow, I can't. I can't!
Elmia was surprised, shouted, and shook her head loudly beside her over and over with her thoughtful hands in front of her body. That was so much momentum that my neck would be lifted.
"Uh, let me tell you something, no?
"Huh?"
Elmia had a strange voice in Aotearoa's words.
"What I'm talking about is Karena and Laurie and their two masters, Naruas"
Elmia was leaning bright red on her face saying she made a hell of a mistake when she heard it. But Karena and Laurie looked difficult.
"... that's for sure the master's skill, and I'm pretty sure we have that arm too. But maybe the master won't be able to leave the country. He's a state-appointed alchemist."
Aotearoa naturally expected to be told that from her previous experience of visiting the Elf Country.
"I know. That's why I want you two to come with me. Whatever it is, you can go with Elmia."
Elmia is surprised by his words, but Karena and Laurie still looked difficult.
"... because the two of us are who we came out of that country. I can't go back that easy... No, maybe I can, but I think it's probably hard to get out. We, at least I like the life of this city, so it's not like this to settle in the Elf Country. It's bad for you, though."
Karena shrugged her shoulders and said so, and Laurie was nodding in agreement with it.
"That's no problem either, I'm going to have the two of you put on a disguised bracelet. If you let Elmia in, it would be the three of us. It would also require technical discussions between alchemists, and it is unlikely to be dispersed because we believe that we need to share information between the three artisans. Besides, like Karena said earlier, bringing Naruas here is a tricky move, isn't it? Then I'll have to take you."
Aeta, who, having figured out his previous interactions with Karena and the current state of the elf country, thought it was forceful but cited measures to open it, put it that far, removed three disguised bracelets from his bag.
"How many of those do you have?
Normally removed, but this is an item that does not convey the skills that can be made right now and has a limited number of items left in the world. By the way, it was Grevin who inherited the way he made this, Ethereum who was taught it.
"How old was it? Because I made a bunch of them in practice... maybe thirty?
You can tell by checking the inventory in the sub-empty storage, but you can't see it here, so mouth the approximate figures.
"!?
"Ju!?
Karena and Laurie give a surprise. The technique of creating this bracelet is principally due to the realm of alchemists, so the three artisans do not know what it is worth. I thought Alisa would be the only one interested.
"I used it when I went into the city, and as I was saying, could a fake bracelet be the one that was made quite a while back?
Because Alisa is an accessory craftsman, she gathers information on accessories made in the past and bracelets and rings belonging to demonic props, some of which were disguised bracelets.
"Well, you are. My old buddy taught me how to make it."
Aotea throws one of her bracelets at Alisa and gives it to her.
"Wow, don't throw something so rare all of a sudden."
He looks at it carefully and intriguingly when he manages to receive it even though he is about to drop it.
"Well, that's why you can follow me? We need your help."
"... Sorta's request will be interesting, so if that's all you need to do, it's not a rush to follow. But let me ask you one thing, what the hell are you going to fight with all that gear?
Karena shoots through Ethereum with a sharp gaze.
"Of course I can't say who exactly. There's a lot of uncertainty, but we... no, I probably have someone I need to fight. Even if I calmly self-analyze, I think my powers are pretty high. But you feel something I might not be good at from someone I might fight. That's why I want you to have the best things you can prepare, not just for me, but for your people."
I knew from my previous interactions with Karena that this request was a selfish favor, as far as I could speak, but I choose the words and appeal to Karena with a serious expression.
"... I don't mind. I don't know what my master would say, and Laurie leaves it to her discretion."
I felt ready from words and expressions. That's what she says. Now I see Laurie's face.
"Um, I don't know how hard it is, but it sounds kind of fun, so you can go. I think Mr. Laurie might be able to come home... and I'll borrow that bracelet just in case. Want to go too, Elmia? It's your grandmother's hometown, isn't it?
Karena in things like the decision after her troubles, Laurie's optimism in inviting her casually. Elmia was worried about what she would do with the contrast.
"If you have no problem closing the store, you should also come to Elmia. The country of the elves is a place that can also be described as the origin of the elves, so you can go once. I have this one this time."
Aotearoa showed her disguised bracelet, and Karena and Laurie were also nodding.
"... yeah, I'd love to go too!
The reply was unmistakable and clear.
