"Should be about right..." |
Arisaka |
"Everyone, we have reached our first target point! Let's take a break here... and repair our weapons..." |
Yakutsk |
"What first target point... We're still on our way deep into the cave?" |
Queensway |
"And what's this about repairing weapons...?" |
Arisaka |
"The ancient weapon that Yoshino-san has right now. It's safe here, so Arisaka thought to fix it up." |
Yakutsk |
"What? Where is this safe base are you talking about?" |
Arisaka |
"Arisaka has set up some anti-Phantom Mist traps in this base. It should be able to handle some trouble by itself." |
Arisaka |
"Because this is where Arisaka sleeps!" |
Yoshino |
"Oooh- Arisaka is the same as Yoshino. Arisaka is the type that can sleep anywhere." |
Arisaka |
"Exactly♪" |
Yakutsk |
"I don't understand!" |
Queensway |
"Miss Arisaka, I've been wondering about this for a while now, can you really repair a weapon that is this rusty?" |
Arisaka |
"Yes. Of the relatively easy category." |
Queensway |
"Easy..." |
Arisaka |
"It's easy. All you have to do is find out what kind of ore is being used and then build a art that suits that ore." |
Yakutsk |
"Hold up hold up, you. Wouldn't there be a risk of the weapon going out of control in the process of repairing or reinforcing it?" |
Arisaka |
"It is true that there is no such thing as zero risks, but rest assured." |
Arisaka |
"Arisaka is not ignorant of ancient weapons, and understands the dangers of weapons themselves. Weapons, with the dangers they carry, continue to protect and harm people and reign supreme in conflict." |
Arisaka |
"Anyways, just watch." |
Arisaka turned to examine the weapon from cover to cover, her eyes changed colour doing so. |
Arisaka |
"Strong weapons are sourced with strong materials, you see. After all, special ores are also used in this ancient weapon. |
Arisaka |
"...Analysis complete. No differences. Damage confirmed. Will assemble the art." |
Arisaka |
"......" |
Yoshino |
"She's doing everything right." |
Yakutsk |
"Is this a time for honest praise? You should be a bit more wary instead." |
Yoshino |
"Maa maa. Yoshino doesn't feel like she's doing anything dangerous at the moment. Besides, if she did, you'll know it." |
Yakutsk |
"...Yeah." |
Yoshino |
"Yakky-tan's cheeks are puffy. Are you jealous?" |
Yakutsk |
"No, it's not like that!" |
While Yakutsk and Yoshino were whispering to each other, Arisaka changed her tone of voice. |
Arisaka |
"Everyone, please pay attention to the slight vibration!" |
Arisaka |
"Deploying technique, will be imprinting the art on the mist stone. As release art is applied, control art will also be overlaid on top of the weapon as it strengthens." |
The arts overlaid, creating a small whirlwind in the cave. Arisaka touched the weapon without changing a single expression, but it is probably a technique that requires considerable, delicate control. |
Queensway |
"Is that a normal technique?" |
Yoshino |
"Yoshino has never seen such an art before, it's Arisaka's original." |
Yoshino |
"But even if we were taught this, Yoshino is not sure how many people in Nishiki would be able to use this art. That's how advanced it is." |
Arisaka |
"This raises the potential energy of the weapon to the maximum and widens the range of compatibility with the user. By changing one linear axis in the weapon to an oscillating axis, the maximum power output when used is increased." |
Arisaka |
"Further overlaying and deploying the sealing art again... is almost done." |
Arisaka |
"......" |
The stuffy atmosphere dissipates and silence returns to the cave. Is it over? |
Arisaka |
"Phew, it's done~! Thank you all for your concern. The restoration and strengthening of the ancient weapon has been completed without incident." |
Queensway |
"I'm amazed. How can a weapon that was supposed to be rusty be reborn like this? And in such a short time..." |
Arisaka |
"Arisaka's honoured by your praise! But what Arisaka is really aiming for is what lies ahead. To use the iridescent cloud stone and sublimate it into the best weapon possible." |
Arisaka |
"For that purpose, Conductor-dono, Arisaka needs your help. Now, let's go deeper in search of the iridescent cloud stone!" |
Yoshino |
"......" |
Yoshino |
"Who is Arisaka, really?" |
