Tooling Store

The next day, when morning came, we ate breakfast to start the day. Each of us already has a plan, about what we will do after this. There was no food left on the table. Most were devoured by Gras, all of them were already aware of it.

“Alright, it's time we leave,” said Leora.

“Eergghh!” Gras burps heavily. He sat down while rubbing his stomach. “Sorry, hehe..”

Leora, Stella, Zilei, Kellos, and Lena depart. I know they want to go to the field and train there. They may wish to meet the Master. I haven't seen him in a long time, I want to be with them.

“You will discuss the plan where?” I asked Alya and Ethan.

“It looks like in the living room of my house. There'll be Gras and Mom in the kitchen, right?” reply Alya. “Sure, Mom can occasionally join the conversation you two.”

That's a good idea, I think. The four of them can gather, because the position of the kitchen and the middle room is not separate and without a bulkhead.

“What about you two? Can't be in a quiet place, you know,” asked Ethan.

“Your questions are like suspecting us..”.

“Hahaha! Safe, secure. We want to go to the tooling store,” Ellie continued. I didn't know before. I thought we'd be in the yard just assembling. But the idea isn't bad either. I also want to go somewhere.

“True, all of you stopped by my house too,”.

“Sip, be careful on the road. If you need to bring some revocation, it's all in the backyard. Not much, but it seems to be able to help you guys,” Alya replied.

“Alright, until later.”

Throughout the trip, we talked a lot. A tower rises high through the clouds. It seems like the tower is still visible from the village next door, but I didn't notice it while I was in Suthmein. We often looked towards the tower, because that was the only thing that was a huge contrast in our view.

“In the end you made that tower..” muttered Ellie.

“Yah... I just run errands. If it wasn't me, the tower would still stand,” reply me. “I don't mind that either,” he continued.

“Thank God you understand. You still remember that device you fiddled with, right? The tower also has it, but with a super large size,”.

“Sure. I've also made a replica,” reply.

I was very surprised to hear it.

“You made a replica? How can?”

It turns out that the reason behind Ellie tinkering with the tool at that time was to observe each component and the workflow of the tool. I didn't suspect it at all. Now there are many questions about my wonder and curiosity about the replica.

“You must be very curious, right? Hold your question, we'll see it in the tool shop,”.

Upon arrival at the tool shop, there seemed to be a salesman who was no stranger to me. His face was immediately excited upon realizing my arrival.

“Malka! Long time no see!” barbarically.

“Hai! Do you still remember my name? Though I only met you by finger count,” reply me. “Hahaha! Who doesn't know you? You're one of the successful people from this village,” he continued. “I also heard a lot from this girl,” he added.

“Sshh!” reply Ellie shy.

“Hahaha!” The seller came over to me and whispered, “She seems to like you, son. Uppsss... Don't let him know..”.

Huh huh? So Ellie's been liking me all this time? Since when and what made him like me? Nor does he show anything that looks like he likes someone else. But from Ellie's face, she felt embarrassed when this salesman said so. So he really likes me?

Unknowingly my face was also flushed like Ellie.

“Hei! What did you tell him?” exclaim Ellie asbal.

“Male secret only,” reply seller.

My head was a little dizzy thinking about it. I also shake my head.

“Already, already. I can't wait to see that replica tool,” I said.

“Sorry, hehe.. Now come with me,” reply the seller.

He invited me and Ellie to come inside. The two of them walked forward, while my steps were slightly slow to see the various equipment, supplies, and tools displayed on the wall. There were even swords and shields, like the ones I had seen in the nightmares of that time.

“Malka, hurry up here! You can't wait to see it, can you?” lontar Ellie is far ahead of me. “Alright!” I immediately ran towards them.

“Are you ready, son? One, two, three!” The seller held up a cloth covering the replica. Looks like a tool that's exactly what I brought at the time. Really similar, looking real. I doubt Ellie stole that thing.

“You really made it? Not stealing?” my many.

“Hahaha! You don't believe it? This seller helped assemble it,” reply Ellie.

“You can call me Sid. Welcome to the tooling store ‘Liro’!”

“Liro? What means?” manya curious.

“My name, Atsali Sidero. Greetings,” the answer.

“Ya is like that from the name of this store,” he continued.

A little irritating, but no problem. I'm back on that replica. “Where did you guys get these ingredients?” my many.

“We got it from traders who came here,” Ellie replied.

“Actually he stole it,” Sid said.

“Only slightly. They have so much, so I don't mind it,” Ellie replied.

Well. Although the trader still feels a loss when he realizes it. But what can be done, is also over.

Ellie turned on the device. And sure enough, the tool really works just like the real thing. I was so impressed with him. If he had applied for a job there, he would have been accepted. I didn't know how it worked before Pappous explained it.

“Wah, really works..” mumbled.

“I also did not think about this girl. Genius once,” says Sid.

“Hahaha, you guys overdo it..”

It is enough with that amazing replica, it is time to open a large sheet on the table, pick up a pencil and a ruler.

“So, it's your intention to come here?” ask Sid.

“Sure, it is impossible just to show off the tool,” replied Ellie.

Ellie put a pencil over her ear. Actually I've got a shadow to make what, but this time I let Ellie think. I'm curious about him.

“Hmm... It looks like we will make weapons, but from the energy of the sky... Do you have any idea about this, Malka?” ask Ellie.

I thought he would find a way to make a device that harnesses that energy, but he also didn't really understand the whole way this energy works.

“Do you know firearms?” my many.

“Know, the gun that shoots bullets, don't you?” the answer.

“Do you know how the tool works?” my continue.

“I understand the components a little, but there is a little vague with the workflow inside the weapon,” he replied.

“I know. I once worked in a weapons manufacturing factory,” Sid said.

“Eh? Really?” manywould be surprised.

“Iya. Most importantly you need an explosive phenomenon to push the bullet through. But I don't understand the sky energy you're talking about,” Sid replied.

Well, it seems like everything is complete. I can explain the rest.

“You know the fire triangle? If we consider celestial energy to be a substance, it can work as a fuel. As with ordinary fire, it also needs a condition in order to burn. Generally with a splash, right?”

“Means if we assume that, we can also think of it like fuel gas? Because they are both invisible. But how to burn it without knowing if the energy exists or not?” ask Ellie.

“Yah.. We just try it by making a splash. If it lights up, it means there is definitely sky energy,” I replied.

“Alright, I understand. The one I'm still thinking about. Sky energy was actually everywhere, precisely air. If we make a spark like this, there's no burning. Means the sky energy must be in a condition, right?” said Ellie.

“Fast. With a certain intensity it will be flammable. All I know is that the energy of the sky in the air close to the surface is only one-tenth of what it takes,” I replied.

“Sip, we can use a tool like that replica to collect energy,” Ellie replied. Maybe I can explain a little bit about the nature of the sky energy that I know of.

“Actually sky energy has many properties. Such as temperature, pressure, intensity, density, and whatever it is can affect its characteristics…

Like the burning I described earlier. If celestial energy is a substance, you know what it means, right? Solid, liquid, and gaseous, all of that could happen to the energy of the heavens…

Then, like fire, the sky energy can also be waves. By storing it in a medium or other substance, it can glow brightly in the dark. You can also set the waves from the sky energy,” I explained.

“Wah, means the usefulness of the sky energy is a lot. But we all know the consequences..” muttered Ellie.

“If only there were no bad consequences from him. I certainly make a lot of income fields,” said Sid.

“For now, please don't use your business thinking just yet,” Ellie said.

“OK, okay. Take it easy,” reply Sid.

It seems like the two of them have already begun to understand my explanation.

“Good. If you guys understand. Let's make weapons out of that energy!”
