“… Woahh, this remodeling, is pretty amazing”

Takanashi-san had taken the materials everyone gathered and put them through her remodeling. Seeing all the shiny new equipment lined up, I was honestly impressed.

 

<table>\n 

They didn’t get an elemental attribute, but Mei-chan’s new set of weapons are of incomparably higher quality from the stuff she has been using before this. What needs special attention is the fact that we used that Armor Bear’s carapace as the synthesis material.

Since we used the Armor Bear’s metallic skin, Steel made an upgrade to Roaring Steel. According to Takanashi-san, this Roaring Steel is heavier than ordinary steel, but much harder in contrast. The weapons themselves were made larger than normal, so while they’d be unfit for someone like Natsukawa-san with her speed-centric fighting style, it’s pretty much a perfect match for a mega-power fighter like Mei-chan.

Incidentally, the reason it’s not an axe but a halberd is because we couldn’t collect a good enough long-axes to serve as its base. The Skeleton captain’s halberd is one of the easily attainable high quality weapons, so that was the main choosing criteria on this occasion.

A halberd is like a combo between a spear and an axe, so you can both slash or pierce. It’s pretty convenient like that, or so it would seem. As it has multi-usage functionality, wielding one can get fairly technical, is what I’ve heard. But as the user was Mei-chan, her super Berserker powers can draw out its potential with any weapon. She’ll get used to it in no time, so I’m not too worried.

There’s Roaring Steel Sword that was improved upon from Hirano-kun’s sword. And the Steel Short-sword which will be a spare. Well, she’s already got the Kill Carver so that one won’t see much use I guess.

Now, we’re all done getting everyone’s respective weapons in order, but there’s one more thing that I, have to get over with.

“… Alright, looks like everyone’s asleep”

It was decided that we would travel along the correct route after getting some shut-eye. My watch tells me that it’s a bit past 1 AM. Everyone went to bed around midnight, so they should all be frolicking in the land of dreams right about now.

Me and the girls were split up such that our sleeping areas are on opposite sides of the fountain. The other side currently has paradise with 5 beautiful young ladies lined up sleeping, but this side just has the sole man, me, all by his lonesome. But right now, that’s fine. It’s more convenient this way. The reason— I don’t think I need to explain too much. It’ll be my 2nd time doing this after all.[3]

\n“Fufuh… This is kinda exciting”

From all the new prospects to power up, I unconsciously let a smile show, and with the now well filled adult rubber balloon in hand, I get on my feet— and right then,

“Momokawa, what are you, doing over there”

Spine froze.

She found out. She saw. How, why. Bad thoughts rush in one after another, making my head a vomit-inducing swirl of disorder. But even within that chaos, I quickly knew who she was.

The person standing there when I slowly turn around—

“Don’t move!!”

“Hii!?”

Glaring at me with eyes like the devil incarnatean oni, there stood Kenzaki Asuna, with her sword at my throat.

 

 

[1] IS THAT A JOJO REFERENCE!!1 XD— yes, yes it is.

[2] The Red weapons’ names are as is. 剛鉄 — Goutetsu — Roaring Steel

[3] OK I seriously double checked about there being 5 girls on the other side, I don’t know why man, there’s supposed to be 6 right?

[4] Hmm… somebody was asking for silver lining in the comments :^)

[5] win-win is such a fun word, remember to make a circle with your index and thumb while extending the other three fingers when you say it. Also, watch Sakura Quest… it’s super fun lol.

[6] This is a few arcs ago in KnM, when he got Evil Eater, and Wrath Pun battle I think. I havn’t seen the book so I can’t be too sure tho. Anyway this is just advertisement for the book, but apparently the gaiden’s pretty cool. Author summarized it somewhat, and it’s a what if about if Kurono never escaped from the lab. He apparently still meets Lily somehow, and there’s characters that appear in the ch 500s in that gaiden (the book comes out in that time frame), so I guess with current translations you don’t really have a grasp of some of the characters. Anyway, my point is, if you happen to buy the book, can you please send me scans of the illustrations inside? I’ve been really curious about this for a while. And my second point is, we should totally badger Yoshi to translate it lol.
