Chapter 49: “Production” Skills
After that, Lilina and I returned to the city early.
Alicia plans to stay in the forest a little longer to experiment with how to use her new technique using the bow and arrow.
Although I was a little worried about leaving Alicia alone in the forest, if she said she could concentrate better alone, I had no choice but to go along with it.
After we returned to the city, Lilina and I returned to our room at the inn and stared at the tools, bamboo, and wood laid out on the floor.
“Lloyd-sama, can you also make weapons?”
“Well, I wonder. It seems like I do have the skills to make weapons though.”
We sat on the floor and looked closely at all the tools and equipment we had gathered.
I’m about to make a weapon for Alicia.
I wasn’t a blacksmith in my previous life, and i’ve never seen Lloyd make a weapon in the anime.
I brought up the status screen I had checked in the forest again and murmured an “Hmm” as I looked at the list of skills I’d stolen.
“‘Production’, huh? I hope I can use it well.”
“You have the ‘Production’ skill?! Lloyd-sama, you’re truly an incredible person.”
Lilina widens her eyes upon hearing what I say.
Then, she looked at me with respect, so I waved my hand in front of my face.
“No, i’m not that amazing. It’s not something I should be praised for.”
In the first place, this skill was something Lloyd had stolen from an artisan who possessed the 『Production』 skill.
When I think about it like that, I wonder whether I should be happy when I receive a compliment.
“…Alicia is so lucky.”
When I replied, Lilina muttered as she drooped her silver ears.
From her loose tail and her words of envy towards Alicia, I can imagine what Lilina is thinking.
That’s true. Even though Lilina was the first to meet me, if I were to make Alicia’s weapon first, she would probably be a little sulky and jealous.
After thinking that, I smiled at Lilina.
“It may not be possible this time, but once the Kane incident is over, I’ll make a weapon for Lilina.”
“Really?! You promise!?”
As Lilina said that, she held my hand tightly with both hers and looked up at me.
As I looked at her, my eyes naturally turning up, I felt as if my body temperature was rising slightly.
“Ah, yeah. I promise. Well, that’s if I can really make a weapon.”
“Don’t worry! I’m sure Lloyd-sama can make it!”
Lilina looked at me with sparkling eyes full of expectation and gripped my hand even tighter.
After I calmed Lilina down, who had leaned forward, I smiled.
If people have such high expectations of me, I can’t say I couldn’t do it.
While thinking about this, I returned my gaze to the materials and tools in front of me.
“So, what kind of bow do you make, Lloyd-sama?”
“I was thinking of making a bow that I saw in a video a long time ago. It’s a slightly unusual bow called a compound bow.”
“Compa…what is it?”
Lilina tilts her head in confusion at the unfamiliar words.
Ah! That’s right. There’s no way that kind of bow and arrow exists in another world.
As I thought that, I remembered a little about my previous life.
There was a time when I used to love watching videos introducing weapons from around the world and videos that showed how to make them.
Some may say that this is a chuunibyou syndrome, but thinking that weapons are cool even as an adult is just a man’s nature.
At that time, I happened to come across a compound bow being introduced in a video.
In principle, by using a pulley with a wheel axle and three strings, the bow can be drawn with less force than usual.
Since it allows her to draw bows that are normally too tough to draw, I think it could increase the power of Alicia’s bow and arrow…
“Honestly, I don’t remember the deep structure. But, if I use the ‘Production’ skill, I might be able to do it.”
I told myself that and immediately got to work.
While thinking about the structure and principles of the compound bow in my head, I used the 『Production』 skill and my hand naturally reached for the tool.
Yeah, I’m starting to feel like I can do it.
Using my increased concentration, I continued creating the compound bow.
