Chapter 124: Completion of the Magic Device

The development of Miasma Sensor MD has entered its climax. Light attribute magic was useful for sensing miasma.

Since miasma can be purified with the Light attribute magic 『Purification』, it is also possible to utilize the properties of the Light attribute to sense miasma.Discover new chapters at novelbin(.)com

「All that’s left is to pair it with the Barrier MD and it’s complete, isn’t it?」

「This took longer than I expected.」

While the other members were accepting requests at the Adventurers Guild and training hard, Laeva and I were secluded in the workshop.

Akane and Lulu-chan were being taught how to sew by Maria and Kaede. They apparently wanted to make their own underwear. For Akane who is Japanese, she seems to have some reluctance in having someone make her underwear even if it’s between women. Lulu-chan said she genuinely wants to improve her needlework.

「If it’s a large town, multiple Barrier MDs must be linked or it wouldn’t work.」

「Indeed. Even in villages, one appears to be unreasonable if it’s large.」

「If we use a large magic crystal, the coverage with one magic device seems achievable on a village, even if it’s a little bit wider.」

「But if we use a large magic crystal, the cost would become too high. The Barrier MD that Takumi-sama made can last several months even on a trash magic stone, which is its selling point, after all.」

The scope of the barrier is small, but the current Barrier MD operates on even a goblin’s scrap magic stone. In terms of cost, it’s better to keep the level of the magic stone required low. However, since this magic device isn’t targeted towards individuals, I believe that it would be better to pursue performance over cost.

「The magic stones are an issue, but there’s also an issue with the precision of sensing miasma.」

The Miasma Sensor MD is more or less complete, but we have to decide at what amount of miasma the Barrier MD would activate at. If we set it to pick up even a small amount of miasma, it would likely malfunction repeatedly. Nevertheless, setting the sensor too insensitively and it would overlook the zealots, and that would defeat its purpose.

「That’s why we must keep adjusting it while looking for the best configuration.」

「I don’t think you can export the security golems to other countries, but there might have been inquiries from Lomaria and Samandour, the countries we’re friendly with, regarding the Barrier MD.」

「...... I understand. At present, a new Barrier MD is under development, so I think the number of victims will decrease if that is completed.」

「Ooh, that’s very welcome.」

Since Hans-san is aware that miasma was detected from the magic power of the zealots, I explained that an item, which can automatically activate the Barrier MD when it senses the presence of a fixed amount of miasma, is under development and will be completed in a few more days.

「Does that magic device require Takumi-kun to install it?」

「No. I had to go because the activation of the security golems required my involvement, but the installation of the Barrier MD and Miasma Sensor MD is simple so it doesn’t need to be me.」

「That being the case, we might order a number of those to diffuse through the towns and villages in Valkyra Kingdom. I will make a report to Guild Master and Margrave Volton. For the budget, I think we’ll probably discuss it with His Majesty.」

「I’ll complete it as soon as possible, and after testing to make sure there are no defects, I’ll prepare for mass production.」

「Please do. I think Lomaria and Samandour would probably want it too.」

「Understood. I’ll do my best.」

Leaving the Adventurers Guild, I continued my stroll with Sophia. From my conversation with Hans-san, I had feelings of impatience but I went out for a change of pace, so I decided to have fun with Sophia today.

We peeked into various stores, buying and eating sweets, enjoying ourselves, then returned to the mansion at dusk.

The Miasma Sensor MD and the Barrier MD that it links to were completed 3 days later. To check if there were defects, I used the captive Horned Rabbits and other monsters in an experiment. Inspecting the effects on the corpses of the monsters, there were no major defects. It was after another 3 days to get to preparing for production.
