The Loner Who Conquers the Other World-Novel

Chapter 233: Responding to attacks from front, rear, flanks, and even bottom and top too, they are bouncing a lot.

Day 60 – Nighttime, White Weirdo Inn

Today it is going to be the Volleyball Girls A and B duo? In that case, are they giving higher priority to the girls with large busts, for whom bra issues are more severe? Indeed, Volleyball Girls A and B have fine ones, including them into 『The Big Group』wouldn’t be strange at all, they do bounce well.

After all, those two are former, or maybe current, volleyball club members, they are a duo of offensive tanks, responding to attacks from front, rear, flanks, and even bottom and top too.

Therefore, they often bounce, like, hey, are they hiding balls there? Is how well they are shaking. That must be why they were given priority. I see~, so that jiggle will be no more, huuuh? No, I’m going to properly make it anyway? It seems the demand for bras is far more pressing than a highschool boy can imagine or even comprehend. Since it impacts their movements and fatigue, this is a matter of life and death for the girls, as all of them have combat type jobs. And apparently, frills are very important too? Which compelled me to accept this task, but it put my peace and life (passion) at risk! Both yesterday and the day before that my Life (passion), Soul (passion) and Desire (passion) went totally Passion-Passion, going passionately berserk all night long. It was pretty tough, you know?

But for the musclebrain duo that’s always horsing around with no concern for their clothes coming undone or underwear becoming visible to fidget like this in complete silence makes it really difficult for me to work! I was actually wary as they have similar characters to Nudist Girl, they might just suddenly strip on the spot, the atmosphere is so awkward!

But since they were given priority, they must’ve felt that it impacts their combat performance. They either sensed that it posed a danger, or felt some warning signs of it. In that case, I shouldn’t be getting embarrassed either, and instead I should approach it with a calm and uninterested mind, akin to making ordinary equipment! Yes, this is combat equipment, an armor meant to protect one’s body! To make undressing easier both came wearing mini-one piece dresses which open in front. As they timidly move their fingers, the buttons come undone, one after another. I’m sorry, this is impossible! Forget a calm mind, that very highschool boy part is sending emergency signals, standing tense at attention. It’s just a bit short of proclaiming the athlete’s oath of fair play. That’s how big of an emergency it is. However, as one of them works her way from the top and the other one from the bottom, the buttons are being undone… This awkward silence filled only with the rustling of clothes is driving me crazy! Armored Pres’ unreliable blindfold is already in effect, but this in turn makes the sounds strangely vivid. Looks like my calm indifference was turned into crazed anguish? (*Rustle*) (*Swish*) the sound is so vividly raw!

「You know, it’s really hard to work in this awkward silence? I’m going to simply take measurements, make it, check how they fit, adjust, make the shape, and apply corrections? I’m not looking, and I’m not going to touch anything, so you can relax and go with 『Yahoo~, naked festival~!』sort of flow? You are not like your usual Twin Lightpoles selves? Or something? Kind of? 」

「「We aren’t Twin Lightpoles! And『Yahoo~, naked festival~!』? What sort of idiots do you think we are!」」

They are still a bit tense? Let’s continue while having small talk, complete silence makes me too conscious of the sounds, plus I have a three-dimensional picture thanks to 『Space Awareness』so it bothers me even more. That’s why I keep pressing for random chat, what happened at the dungeon today, requests for food, clothes they’d like next, such ordinary talk. Talking about the old days must still be too hard for them.

「And so Shield Girl-chan, or rather our new Shield Pres, gave us her『Counter Shield』…」

「Oh yeah, so I swapped my『Blade Shield』with it, but the weight is totally different, so when I charged in…」

As the talk began to flow the tension began to dissipate, but please, don’t insert『Ah』or『Un』in the middle of your lines? And『Hya』or『Kya』are bothering me too, aren’t you replying with a firm『Aye』during combat?

「Nah, I don’t really care about volleyball anymore. Well, it’s not like I don’t have attachments to it, but be it national or interhigh, in the end, we were eternal second place, and fighting with everyone like this is pretty fun on its own too? We probably just wanted excitement, working earnestly towards something, and then going YAAAY, YAHOO with everyone over it, so this is this, and that is that?」

「Totally this, that feeling of going crazy with everyone after winning a battle is great, isn’t it? It probably didn’t have to be volleyball? Aah, but being eternal second place in middle and high school still pisses me off!」

Among the other girls they have a relatively strong mental fortitude and high adaptability, but they seem to have one half of acting tough, one half of giving up, one half of having fun, and one half of not thinking anything at all, totalling for two people worth. Well, let’s popularize beach volleyball when we find a sea, and while at it, also hold a beach volleyball tournament. In such a format they can make a team with just the two of them. It would be a waste for all of the skills and experience that they accumulated since their childhood to become useless, and there is no way it wouldn’t be vexing. Popularizing beach volleyball shouldn’t even be that hard. And naturally, I have no reluctance about making a beach volleyball uniform, in fact, I have so little hesitation and reservation about it, that beach volleyball uniform might get popularized before beach volleyball can even become a thing? Sort of?

The president and others were from the tennis club, but does it need popularization? The uniform? The shrimp, if I’m not mistaken, was in the track and field club, but she is running around just fine even now, so might as well let it be. But rhythmic sports gymnastics will be difficult to spread, not only does it need equipment, but also the contents of the contests are complicated, and it will take a long while for the first gymnasts to appear. Leotards are already in stock though? Yeah, Armored Pres-san has about 10 different ones, I had her try every single one? It was great.

And as we talk about this and that, Evil Hands continue making measurements and feeding information to Apex Thinking-san. Sound effects like 『Boing』or『Jiggle』keep reverberating throughout my brain. No, 『Apex Thinking』-san, you don’t have to translate that, okay? It isn’t Slime-san, so no one is trying to have a conversation with those, or rather, if I did, it would be a matter of public concern? But is the translation possible if I actually tried to? No, not like I want to? But is it though?

They are firm and nicely dome-shaped to begin with, so there seems to be no need to do much in terms of support or restraint, so the work should be focused around weight distribution, and fixation, and then making sure that straps won’t rub during intense movement. I slightly hate the fact that I’m getting used to this, I absolutely don’t hate this at all, but I hate the concept of a highschooler whose special skill is custom made bras? I wonder if my Affection Rating is doing alright… (Thousand-yard stare, blindfolded version)

And while things were progressing nicely, the bottoms, as expected, turned out to be a bit off. While they did tighten and lift up the buttocks, I’ll have to adjust them for their muscular build. In other words… Feel everything with 『Evil Hands』and measure, while grasping with『Holding』? It was a mess, let’s just say that it was very mentally draining both for the one measuring and for those being measured. As I thought, the biggest danger is sound effects.

What was that『Kyan』right now?

When I was finally done, I had perfect measurements and a good grasp of muscular levels, so without giving it much thought I made volleyball shorts as an extra, but they were moved to tears. Although it seems they will gladly use it as housewear. Let’s make gym shorts for the girls next time, of course, that includes Armored Pres-san! Since the duo got matching uniforms that Armored Pres-san is looking at them very intently, does she want it? The others don’t have them either? Well, I’m not against making one at all, but going hard at night with the same uniform that the girls were crying upon receiving? Can it be in a different color?

Finally, the trial was over, leaving behind freshly worn still warm underwear, now for equipment making. I’m pretty sure if I begin with underwear, by the time I get to the equipment making, I will get so heated up that we will end up making something very different, so equipment first.

There are some points that are bothering me, and there are also things that I’d like to try out. It’s about Appraisal. I managed to appraise 『Demon God’s Zweihander』all the way to its materials. I can’t do this with any other item, but for some reason for 『Demon God’s Zweihander』I managed to identify materials. And all of them were familiar to me, or rather, I had them on hand.

Iron, mithril, and niello. I managed to get niello after processing those weird objects that I bought in bulk at the mining town with alchemy.

If I can reproduce it, then I’ll be able to arm the entire Idiot Five with it. They might be real stupid idiots through and through with no limits to their boundless idiotic idiocy, and also very extremely

idiotic idiots that couldn’t be any dumber, but they are strong.

Since those five together form a unit, they can’t be crushed, each one is individually strong, they have outstanding teamwork and genius level intuition, the natural disaster-tier brains are the only thing holding them back. If those five can all be strengthened at once they would become an incredibly formidable unit (legion). But I don’t want to make any, since they might throw them too. I mean, those guys were throwing halberds and then beat enemies with boomerangs. Even so, they are strong, if viewed individually they are likely in the strongest tier.

Feel with『Evil Hands』, study with『Holding』, and analyze with『Apex Thinking』, it’s not fun at all since it’s just a sword, but I thoroughly investigate it, and compute my findings. I managed to fully work it out. As long as I have the required materials I theoretically should be able to reproduce it with alchemy. Well, its performance might end up being slightly worse, but it should still be quite usable if I mithrilify it.

But even if I managed to pull it off, 『Demon God’s Zweihander』is a large sword more than two meters in size, I’m pretty sure it would be very difficult to handle for anyone aside from the idiots. It doesn’t seem very profitable, but if I learn how to duplicate weapons it might solve all of our weaponry deficit problems at once. It’s worth a shot. Even if it’s not fun at all.

I focus my mind on the sword, I can’t afford to look at freshly worn still steaming hot underwear!

From material to component, from metal to design, I expose, reveal, break down, survey it all the way through. As if rewinding time for a just crafted time, I reveal all the steps of the crafting process.

PoW stat alone is not enough to manage this size and weight. It requires resilience, power shifting, and balance, unless you have all three, handling this is impossible. Only those savages have the sense to properly grasp the technique needed to utilize its weight for recoil to turn it into centrifugal force, that would allow them to freely swing it around. Penalty to InT is a minus, but since they are on the level of primitive man anyway, it wouldn’t change a thing.

The optimal weapon for them, and to avoid them throwing the swords let’s confiscate boomerangs.

Five『Demon God’s Zweihanders』are lying before me, I can’t even tell which is the original by now. I mean, I just lined them up randomly, so I really have no idea? Each one is『Demon God’s Zweihander – PoW 60% Up, Recklessness +ATT -INT』, so it’s done. Well, now I have to mithrilify this… Wait a moment, if I first upgraded it with mithril and then copied it I could’ve finished it in one go! And now I have to repeat a boring procedure five times.

Well, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Rome was not built in a day. Large urietta is a gathering of small aretha. [1] The road to warm underwear begins with night shift work, kind of?
