27 Atomic?

~

Looking at the pile of swords on the floor that resembles exactly identical makes me very proud of my work. Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V will conquer this world Muahahahaha

"Raul? You are making that creepy face again"

"Oh sorry, in any case, don't pass these swords to your father for now."

"Why? Isn't it good that we could immediately make use of them so that there won't be any casualties?"

"Ah… Well, that's one thing but I need to personally be there to bestow these swords to their owner?"

"R-Really? That's cool!"

"What do you mean cool?"

"Isn't that what my father always does when someone is being promoted to a higher rank or status?"

"Eh? Oh…"

"I've always wanted to do that."

"You want?"

"D-Definitely!"

System, is it possible for her to receive my power temporary and grant those soldiers the power to wield this sword?

[Of course.]

"Hmm, it seems you can do it."

"FUE FUE FUE!!"

Ah, the weird noise is getting in the way of her adorable face. Now let's go to the next step.

"Amanda, your next job is to help me out to see which arrow is the most suitable to be enchanted by your magic circles."

"Yosh! I will do my best!"

Hmm as for now, I tried creating three types of arrow, the normal field point arrowhead with a build in size for an ordinary bow. Next is the similar kind with a bigger base, but I doubt it could fly properly as it is not proportionate with the rest of its body.

Last is a big ass arrow in which looks like a rocket. This is why we need to experiment.

A few minutes later ~

"It's done, Raul!"

Amanda was happily jumping in joy as she manages to successfully apply to all of them. It's not like she always fails but the magic circle tends to have their very own conditions before they are successfully patched on the weapon or object.

I didn't think the magic circle is flexible enough as an arrow is a cuboid of some sort, so the magic circle would need to be bend, unlike the sword that we paste it on the blade itself.

"Let's try it!"

"Can I try it on, Raul?"

A familiar sound was heard and as you guess it, Eliza was standing there glaring at me. She really can't wait to see me dead huh? What's wrong with her anyway? Oh, it's that time of the month huh?

Shana also suddenly appears beside us and happily guide us after packing up all the items that we need to bring. Even though she looks so small, she could pack a punch. I really shouldn't underestimate a woman strength in this world.

A few minutes later we have arrived at a nearby forest. We were thinking of having it in the garden, but a massive amount of soldier suddenly crowds us and slowly pushes us out to the forest. It seems that someone had made it worse. Looking back at Eliza that has a face of a tomato she's trying her best not to look guilty.

"WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT, YOU FREAK!"

Ohhhh, such a huge turn event we have here. Well, at least there's no one here to see how childish she turns out to be. I wonder if her reputation would drop she the civilians see her like these. Oh no, I forgot there are some people like this kind of fetish. Tsundere was it?

Sigh* I should stop thinking about these useless things. I already miss my dear Emelia. I was told that a village nearby was attacking, she was sent out as a reinforcement while the mercenaries try their best to protect the village.

Looking at the childish kid in front of me, oh wait it's the beautiful princess. I wonder if she has her telepathy power on as if she knows I am talking about her. In any case, Eliza is trying out the first experiment. I made a duplicate of each of them so that even if it gets destroyed I won't have to worry about it.

Knowing her, she probably… No definitely destroy it.

*Mutter *mutter

Eliza started saying out some words that I don't understand. I wonder why they aren't teaching me. Emelia even told me to stay away from hearing it. It's not like I could use it anyway.

"She really hates you huh Raul."

"Huh? What's the matter Shana?"

"She imbued a power in the arrow to only target you. Didn't you hear what she just said?"

"N-No I didn't… Wait what did you just say?"

"The arrow is now only targeting you?"

...

She really out to kill me huh… This is not TSUNDERE ANYMORE!!

*Sounds of a huge explosion

I survived?

No… we survived?

Looking at where the explosion came from, it seems the arrow explode on where Eliza was standing at. Oh yeah… I design the arrow to destroy itself if the user intends to attack me with it. Phew* What the hell is wrong with me.

"Eliza?"

"Cough* Cough* What the… Sis did it fail?"

"No Eliza, you have successfully triggered it!"

"Huh? You mean by triggered, is killing it's own owner?"

"That's where you are wrong, you murderer! The arrow that I design will destroy itself if it going to hit me. Following which the arrow was immediately melted but upon touching the ground, it triggers the arrowhead magic circle that Amanda design."

"Yup! It is to explode itself!"

"..."

"Princess you are indulging yourself in a world full of troubles if you join these people that have no common sense."

"..."

Eliza slowly nodded herself after giving out a sigh*

"Sis you almost kill me!"

"Fueh? B-But I trusted you…"

"…. No well… There's that…"

"See you are all fine."

"I-I don't know whether to be happy or not."

"Oi Eliza what are you waiting for? Pick the next one."

"... I wish that guy would die already?"

"Sis it's troublesome if he died, my research won't continue…"

Y-You worry more about your research rather than your so-called future husband?

Anyway, we are getting more side tracked even though we are experimenting three type of arrows. The second one as expected didn't fly well, it almost went backward and hit Eliza in which makes her rage to overcome her patience and I almost died because of it.

The third one… Well rather than putting it on the bow, Eliza hold it up like a javelin and throw it out. The result?

"My, my, my… The flower looks so beautiful."

"If only the flower isn't the kind that could melt a human being if one were to be engulfed in it."

"OOOHH GODD!! ARGHHHH!! Demon attack!"

Ah… Is it a dejavu? A scenario played out similar to the event that happen previously when the park behind Amanda room were freeze. A huge crowd of magicians and soldiers tried their best to stop the explosion from spreading to the other noble land.

Well we could just blame it to the demons that tried to assassinate the princess.

~ In the meantime, at the adventure guild a notice was posted at the board.

It states that the palace would buy out any amount of bones that the mercenary is selling.

Fortunately, because of these, there would be less causalities during the winter season as mercenary could sell and save up for the upcoming winter and even those newbie that just started out could a lol of money.

"So it has begun huh…"

"Jason, why are you talking as if you know what is going to happen?"

"Eh? Mr. William? What are you doing here?"

"Well I heard what happen at the village just now and wanted to ask a favour from you."

"A noble asking a favour from me? What's up?"

"Ah William was shy to visit Raul without any reason, so he wanted to be the one to send the bones over so that he could accidentally meet up with Raul."

"Q-Quincy!"

"Hahaha, I didn't know Raul had a fourth wife coming up!"

"N-NO! You're wrong, please don't misunderstood. It's partly my fault for him to end up in his current situation."

"Doesn't look like he is suffering though?"

"Well, ma'am Lenalee is making it hard for him. I would like to see how he is doing that's all."

"William likes to worry about his friend you see."

"QUINCY! You are making it worse."

"Hehehehe! Anyway I'll got to go, I heard Anderson has reached the gate"

Quincy suddenly run out from the guild.

"sigh* That girl…"

"It's a she?"

"…. Never mind… Anywhere pass the bones to my soldier, they will help you guys to handle it."

"Orh!"

~ Back to Raul and friends.

We got scolded by the king, again for messing up the forest. Eliza manages to escape even though she was the one that threw that arrow. I don't think I should call it an arrow anymore though. An atomic missile? Well, it's not that powerful as atomic, but you can guess how it looked like when it exploded.

The king also winks at Amanda while he was scolding I wonder what's that about.

Only after I went back to Amanda room, I got the answer. The king is telling Amanda to create more of these so that he could increase his reputation and respect from the civilians and nobles alike. They would think that we have powerful weapons that demons couldn't outwit. Well that's true, at least he didn't want to use it to conquer another Kingdom.

Is that the reason why the world would not be destroyed? Are all king this passive and without any ambition at all?
