Transferred to the other world of Auralel

Chapter 25 - Feelings & The Return

I stood up from the still destroyed bed, and held out my hand to Sana. 

"Shall we go? Sanalei De' Aise Takahashi?" (Sora)

"Sana Takahashi" (Sana)

Her face was flushed, and she gently took my hand as we both walked out of our room. When we opened the door Alice had seen that we had destroyed our room, so as an apology we gave them the money for repairs along with a bonus as our sorry. We didn't tell her what happened, we just said, "Some stuff happened."

Although, I think she got confused about what kind of 'Stuff' I was talking about, because she kept looking between us with a sly grin on her face.

"Ohooo. 'Something' happened huh?" (Alice)

She kept bumping my side, hinting that Sana and I 'did the deed' last night. I could already tell that it would be impossible to convince her otherwise so, while still holding Sana's hand, we walked down to the bottom floor and ordered some food for breakfast.

While we were eating breakfast, it felt different than it usually did. Was it maybe because Sana and I are embracing each others feelings? Or was it because now there is an air of awkwardness around us because we aren't sure how to proceed with what has just transpired upstairs? Relationships are confusing...

With our breakfast finished, we went around the city to do some shopping. One of the things we bought was a load of empty potion flasks. They will be helpful in storing my blood away so that we won't have to find a hiding place to feed Sana every now and then.

After that, we visited the guild and were able to pick up the dragon materials that were promised to us. The rest of the dragon was still being processed, but since we were the ones who killed it, they went and expedited our share of the materials. When we had the materials, we went into a nearby alleyway and opened up a gate to Gaer's shop. 

Dropping off the materials for our armor and my weapon order, I was shown a blueprint of what Gaer was planning to use for my second weapon to be used alongside Noroi. It looked almost similar to Noroi, except it was a shorter blade, and had no protruding spikes. However, I would feel weird holding a weapon that was almost similar to Noroi in appearance. I asked for some paper to draw the design I had in mind, I considered dual wielding two swords, but then I thought that it would be a waste to have only swords when I have the skill Weapon Mastery. 

Then I remembered that this world was currently in the breakthrough of guns. Although, the only models were flintlock rifles and flintlock pistols. I decided to strike a deal with Gaer.

"Hey old man Gaer, I was wondering if you can make a magical gun according to my specifications, and keep the information between just us..." (Sora)

"Well, I don't see why not, but you know it would be inefficient to have a gun with a sword, since it takes quite a bit of time for it to reload." (Gaer)

"That's the thing, if we can create it to how I expect it to be, then ammunition shouldn't be an issue so long as I have the adequate amount of mana." (Sora)

"I see, so instead of firing projectiles, it would fire pure magical energy eh? It sounds like a fun project, but I would need to meet with the artifice I told you about. They'd have to handle the process for it to use magical energy instead of rounds. I can handle the construction of the weapon though." (Gaer)

"Great, I can take it to the artifice when you're done crafting it. Here's the design I want for it." (Sora)

With that, I handed over the blueprint I had made up. If I had to compare it to a weapon from Earth then it would be called the .500 Smith & Wesson Magnum. I predict that revolvers and such would end up becoming the next breakthrough with the guns in this world. Also I think if they are converted to use magical energy, then the cost on materials would go way down. This means there would be less profit for a blacksmith that makes ammunition, but it also means more people would buy a gun.
