Chapter 238 - Ways to Use the Flame Ores

"How's it going, Gran? Do you think you can recreate a Nine-tailed Sword?"

"...... Kuk. I must say that it is very difficult at present, that I must say, Ars-dono."

"You cannot do it? There's no mistaking that the flame ores are the materials used to create the swords, right? I do not think that it's possible for another metal to react with mana just like that..."

"The problem is not with the flame ores, degozaru. The problem is in the characteristics of it."

"Characteristics? It has the unusual property of emitting flames, but is that the problem?"

"That is not the case. It is not the flame itself that is the problem. However, it is definitely not dense enough, that it is. This flame ore is too soft, degozaru."

"Soft? It didn't feel that way in my hand... Oh, I see. If it's soft, does that mean it's not suitable for swords?"

"Yeah. Even if this ore is processed into a sword, that sword would be useless as a weapon, degozaru."

"But the Nine-tailed Swords exist, which are actually usable in battle, Gran. It shouldn't be absolutely impossible to make."

"...... That's right, Ars-dono. I am burning up, that I am! I will reproduce Nine-tailed Swords no matter what it takes, degozaru. Therefore, I would like you to wait a little while for its completion!"

"...... Hey, Gran. I'm sorry to interrupt your enthusiasm, but can I ask you a question?"

"What is it? Do you have any idea about the manufacturing process? I suspect that the ores are mixed with other metals, but I also do not know if the furnace temperature should be higher when processing the flame ore..."

"Ah, stop, Gran. You're getting overexcited."

"Oops, I'm sorry about this. So, what was it? Did you want to ask me something, degozaru?"

"Kind of. It's not a request, but a simple question. What is the point of reproducing the Nine-tailed Swords?"

"... What's wrong? Did you not travel to Uruk in search of the flame ores? I don't understand why you are suddenly saying that you don't need the Nine-tailed Swords after actually obtaining the core material, which I don't understand."

"No, well, I would be very grateful if magical swords could be mass-produced. But there is no need to stick to that alone. A Nine-tailed Sword produces an indefensible flaming sword. It may sound very strong by itself, but the knight who uses it can attack from a distance."

"But, Ars-dono, you have obtained the flame ores, so even if you say such a thing now, there isn't much left to say. Therefore, if we don't create those swords, won't all the hard work you have done up to that point be for nothing?"

"That isn't true. I'm trying to say that the uses of flame ores are not limited to weapons. It's good to study the process of making the Nine-tailed Swords, but let's also use our skills on something else, Gran. There are so many other uses for it."

"Other uses... But even if you ask me how to use the ore that produces flames... Hmm, how about making a furnace using the ores? It would be interesting to build one with a high temperature that has never been seen before, that it would be."

"Yes, things like that. That's what I meant. I've got something I need to make with the flame ores, too, Gran. I want you to make something for me."

"By how you're saying, it seems to be a difficult build. What kind of thing is it, that it is, Ars-dono?"

" Let's take to the sky, Gran! Let's use the flame ores to make a flying machine."

"Huh......?　Flying ...... in the sky? What are you talking about, Ars-dono? How can we humans fly using metals? You are forgetting that it is a metal that only produces flames, degozaru?"

"No, no, that's the point, Gran. It doesn't need fuel to produce flames. We could create a hot air balloon in no time!"

　I was talking to Gran in Barcania.

　I had obtained and brought back some flame ore, which was even called a phantom metal, from a place called Fox Valley in the old Uruk Territory.

　I talked to him about it and about making a vehicle that would allow us to fly.

　Gran heard what I was talking about and looked at me as if to say, "What are you talking about?"

　So, maybe Gran had never seen a machine with a flight function before.

　But not me.

　When I saw the flame ores, which produce flames in response to mana, my first thought was not to use them for the Nine-tailed Swords.

　From my point of view, the ores looked like energy generators.

　They are masses of thermal energy.

　Thermal energy.

　It was the greatest boon to human history in the world I knew in my previous life.

　And it was also the driving force that changed the world.

　For example, the industrial revolution with the steam engine was the main driving force.

　But it was not a proposal to create the steam engine I talked to Gran about.

　If we wanted to find another use for the flame ore, which was already known to be used for Nine-tailed Swords, it would be better to have more impact at first glance.

　Being able to fly should be enough of an impact on the people of this world.

　Well, the flame ores are mine, so no one has any right to complain about what I use them for.

　To be honest, my wish of creating hot air balloons was purely a hobby-like incentive.

　Thus, I taught Gran as much of the balloon's structure as I could remember, and we started making a hot air balloon using the flame ores.

So, we've introduced hot air balloons. Due to that, I also find it to be the perfect moment for showing you the cover of the manga (the manga hasn't been translated into English yet) which displays the part we are on right now — near the ever-approaching 3rd Arc. You can see the hot air balloons on the cover. To support the author, you can also buy the volume on amazon by clicking the cover image. I've translated the description of the volume for you as well, as an incentive to read the manga if you know Japanese. To prevent you from getting spoiled unwillingly, I've placed a spoiler button.
