Fullmetal Winter Adventurer

A day has passed since Vier's heartfelt reunion with Mifumi, Felin, and Rozze.

While staying at her bed and watching her severe right arm floating in the preserving liquid inside the transparent container, an idea suddenly came into Vier's mind.

Since Vier's dominant hand is her right, she won't be able to draw the thing that she has come up with. That's why Rozze, who came to visit Vier together with Mifumi and Felin, is the one drawing the plans of the thing that Vier has thought of.

With Vier's supervision and with Mifumi and Felin's constant watch, Rozze, with her great skill in drawing, has finished the design that Vier came up with.

"It's perfect!... Thanks, Rozze, Mifumi, Felin."

"Are you sure about this Vier-chan?"

"Is this thing even going to work, Vier?"

"Mhm!... Vier is going to be super cool!"

Mifumi and Rozze are quite worried about the thing that Vier came up with. While on the other hand, Felin is already excited to see Vier using it.

"Please give this plan to Master Berlin. I'm sure he can easily make this today and bring it tomorrow."

...Mhm!...

With Vier's request, Mifumi, Felin, and Rozze make their way to Berlin's Blacksmith shop carrying the design plan that Vier is requesting for her Blacksmith Master to make.

The following day, the day when Vier's right arm is going to be reattach, Misaki went to the Guild Infirmary late in the morning to help the Healers reattach Vier's right arm.

Thinking that Vier couldn't wait any longer to have her right arm reattached, Misaki made haste towards the Guild Infirmary. However, when she arrives at Vier's room, what she sees is not what she's expecting.

"Impressive... You came up with another interesting Magic Item again, kid."

...Ohh!...

...clap!...clap!...clap!...

"It works!... Now, I don't need my right arm anymore!... Fufufu..."

When Misaki arrives at Vier's room at the Guild Infirmary, she finds Mifumi, Felin, Rozze, Vier's mother, Leaena, and Berlin gathering around Vier.

Their unusual gathering is not what caught Misaki's eyes. Instead, the thing that Vier is wearing on her right shoulder where her right arm should be reattached today.

Vier is wearing an armored leather vest. And in its right shoulder, there's a mechanical right arm attached to it.

The mechanical arm is a Magic Item that Vier came up with from remembering an anime about a young Alchemist and a movie about a super Soldier that her Onee-chan shows in her dreams.

It's made from light metal Monster Materials along with the Web Steel Strings of her Web Gauntlet and the Monster Core of the Rank 1 Trap Weaver Monster.

Using the Web Control Skill of the Monster Core, Vier can control the Web Steel Strings inside making the mechanical arm move the way she wanted. And with the Mana Crystal attached inside, Vier can avoid her Mana being drained.

Vier moves her new mechanical right arm, doing different fighting posts to impress everyone inside her room at the Guild Infirmary.

"From now on... You can call me Vier, the Fullmetal Winter Adventurer... Fufufu!..."

...Ohh!...

...clap...clap...clap...

"What the heck are you doing!"

...SMACK!...

"Ouch!..."

Misaki landed a smack straight to Vier's head after seeing Vier's ridiculous play.

"What are you doing, Vier-chan? You're supposed to be resting today before we reattach your right arm!"

"I don't want my old right arm anymore, Misaki-sensei. I already have a new and better right arm."

Trying to talk back to her beloved teacher, Vier shows Misaki her new mechanical right arm. However, at the next moment, Vier's mechanical arm stopped moving.

"Ahh!... The Mana Crystal runs out already... How much time is it, Master Berlin?"

"That's 10 minutes for three Mana Crystal. That's quite expensive if I say so. If only you have a Dark Attribute in Magic. Then you can use this Magic Item Arm much longer, kid."

"Then let's add Magic Spell to lessen the use of the Magic Skill of the Monster Core..."

...SMACK!...

"Ouch!..."

Not letting Vier finish her discussion with her Master, Misaki lands another smack straight to Vier's head.

"How is that arm better when you can't move it properly?!... Take it off!... We're going to reattach your right arm now!"

"No!... I don't want it!... Don't remove my metal arm, Misaki-sensei... No!..."

Even with Vier's refusal, Misaki, with the help of the Healers, forcefully removes Vier's new metal arm so they can start reattaching Vier's right arm.

After a while, Misaki and the Healer, Maria, finally started the process of reattaching Vier's severed right arm as Mifumi, Felin, and Rozze stepped aside together with Vier's mother, Berlin, and Leaena.

When they removed the bandage that was covering Vier's right shoulder and started using the Regeneration and Healing Skills, Vier was quite surprised to see what it looked like.

It was quite fascinating. Unlike the process of healing the open wound, where the wound itself is covered by the transparent crystal color Mana while the Regeneration Skill or Healing Skill is slowly closing the wound, the process of reattaching severed body parts involves the Mana taking the shape of the missing body part.

That is exactly what Vier is seeing right now.

The missing part between her right shoulder and right arm, which was destroyed by the Dark Blade Skill of the Black Weretiger Monster, is now regenerated, but it only has the appearance of a transparent crystal color Mana.

Upon seeing Vier's fascinated and bewildered expression, Maria explained what was happening with Vier's body.

"Your Spirit contains the Memories of how your body was before and how it was supposed to be. That's how the Regeneration Skill knows what your body parts look like. Is that explanation enough for you, Vier?"

"Ehh?... Yes!... Thank you, Ms. Maria."

After Maria's explanation, Misaki took the container that had Vier's right arm that was displayed on the dresser beside the window of Vier's room.

Seeing her right arm floating in the preserving liquid inside the transparent container has become a normal thing for Vier. It even gives her some kind of comfort that even though she can't feel her right arm, she at least knows where it is.

...I even try using my Mana to see if my right arm will move if my Mana reaches it...

"Vier-chan... Stop thinking weird things."

"Stop doing the cat-face, Vier"

"Please focus on healing, Vier."

"Ehh?..."

Mifumi, Felin, and Rozze notice Vier's thoughts being shown on her face, which is why they make those remarks while being worried about the process of reattaching Vier's right arm.

"If you don't focus properly while we're reattaching your right arm, there might be complications like you won't be able to move some of your fingers, maybe all of them."

"Ehh?!!!... Is... Is that true... Misaki-sensei, Ms. Maria?"

Not only Vier but everyone else in the room was surprised by what Misaki said, making Vier's anxious feeling go back again as her voice trembled, asking both Misaki and Maria.

"Pfft!... Hahaha!... Of course, not. We are not newbies who will make that kind of mistake so you don't have to worry, Vier. I'm gonna make sure to reattach every nerve in your right arm like they were never cut off."

Thanks to Maria, Vier feels a little bit reassured that nothing bad will happen during the process of reattaching her right arm.

While she was lying down on her bed and getting worried if she would still be able to move all her right fingers after, Misaki finally took Vier's severed right arm from the preserving liquid inside the transparent container and connected it to Vier's transparent crystal color upper arm.

Then, Misaki and Maria start casting their Magic Skills.

...Combined Magic Technique... Life Heal...

After casting their Magic Skills Vier's body starts to heat up. It's like her whole body is being burned from the inside. However, that burning sensation doesn't hurt at all.

...It's like all the pain I'm feeling in my body is disappearing slowly... and it's kinda... making me feel... sleepy...

"What happened to Vier-chan, Grandma?"

"Why did Vier fall asleep, Misaki-sensei?"

"Is Vier gonna be all right, Sensei?"

"Don't worry, Mifumi-chan, Rozze-chan, Felin-chan. Vier-chan just lost consciousness due to Mana exhaustion."

The Life Heal Skill successfully regenerated and reattached Vier's right arm. However, it also consumes almost all of her Mana since Vier doesn't have any Attributes in Magic.

"Is Vier going to be okay, Misaki-sama?"

"Don't worry, Stelle-chan. Your daughter is already used to the feeling of Mana exhaustion due to her repeated recklessness even when she's young. She will recover from this in just a day and be back to her usual self tomorrow."

"Thank you, Misaki-sama."

"For now, we should let her rest properly. She should be sleeping all day so everyone can go home now and let Maria-chan take care of Vier-chan."

"No... We will stay with Vier-chan, Grandma."

"We will stay until Vier wakes up."

"We won't leave Vier alone."

"Fine... If that's what you want, Mifumi-chan, Rozze-chan, Felin-chan.

...Mhm!!!...
