The long bow, a new weapon unveiled by Ellen.
Aria and her sisters' eyes light up when they see it.
'Hey, big brother. What does this patrol, Sentinel, mean?'
' 'Yes, It means 'watch' or 'surveillance' in both cases.
When I answered Aria, Ellen joined the conversation with a scowl on her face.
"Then Master Rid and I will explain how to use it and stuff like that."
Afterwards, Ellen and I start explaining to the girls about the 'magic spear bow'.
The magic spear bow is a long bow made with the 'magic steel' processing technology that only Ellen and Alex have.
The 'demon' is taken from the material 'demon steel' and the way it is used.
The word 'spear' literally means that the tip of the long bow has a cutting edge and can be used as a spear in melee combat.
There was a proposal to use a cross-shaped spear as the tip of the spear blade, but it was decided not to because it would be difficult to handle.
Depending on the abilities of Aria and the others, there is a possibility that the tip of the blade may be changed in the future, though.
After some explanation, I told them that I would demonstrate the technique to them, and they looked a little surprised.
'Eh, big brother can also use a bow?"
I didn't know that. Can you really handle it?'
'...... surprised.'
I chuckle at Aria and the others' impressions.
'Haha, I hardly ever get a chance to show it. I can handle all basic weapons. I can handle spears, swords, barehanded and bows, of course. I can also use dark weapons, ...... in a way."
The three main people training me in martial arts are Cross, Capella and Deanna.
As far as handling weapons is concerned, Rubens and Cross handle the basic ones.
Deanna and Capella are the ones who teach me the dark weapon-related stuff.
Recently, I've also been dealing with several children from the Beastmen tribe.
They seem to be enjoying learning and using the things I'm learning, so they're all teaching me this and that.
Well, it's fine with me because it's fun for me too.
As soon as I told them about the weapons I could use, everyone except Diana, who was present, rolled their eyes, but Aria and the other sisters quickly switched their expressions and their eyes lit up.
'Brother, it's great that you can handle so many different kinds of weapons, that's cool.'
'Brother, that's great.'
'...... brother, awesome.'
The girls unintentionally responded to their words with a shy smile.
'Eh,...... well, I don't know. Haha, I'm a bit flattered to hear you say that.'
'I see,...... that means Master Rid can master any weapon. 'Hmmm, I might be able to make progress with Alex in weapon development."
I feel like Ellen is smiling wryly at me and Aria and the other sisters, but I'm going to pretend it's just my imagination.
After that, I suddenly picked up the magic spear bow that Ellen prepared for me and began explaining how to use it.
'Well, let's see. The magic spear bow is strong enough to be used as a normal bow, but its most important feature is that it can accumulate the user's 'magic power'.
'Build up magic power?'
Aria's face is filled with a curious expression at my explanation, and Elia and Cilia are also looking at each other.
Well, when people say they accumulate, you don't immediately imagine it.
I immediately start to demonstrate.
'Haha, it's not that hard. I'm going to show you how to use magic power to make a 'magic spear bow' in the same way you use magic. Like this.'
I answer the girls and start to flow magic power into the bow in my hand.
At that moment, the bow emits a bluish-white light and a high-pitched 'keening' sound echoes around the area.
Soon, when the blue-white light fills up, there is a bursting sound like a 'bang ministry' around the area.
The sudden sound seemed to surprise Aria and the others, but I smiled at them.
I'm sorry for startling you. This is the 'magic spear bow' with magic power in it. In this state, when you shoot an arrow, the range and power of the arrow increases. If you also give the arrows magic or magical powers, they will be easier to use.
'Huh-...... that's a really interesting bow.'
'Aria, you're right.
...... might want to use it soon."
Aria and her sisters seem to be surprised but more curious about it.
I pick up the arrow and hold it at the ready, my gaze shifting to the target that Ellen has so blithely prepared for me.
I took a deep breath and concentrated on the target.
'I'll try to shoot,' I mutter, taking a deep breath and concentrating on the target.
'Magical grant' is the granting of magical power to an armour to increase its attributes and power.
Magic is a temporary addition to the attributes of magic, so it is similar but slightly different.
It is not necessary to go to the trouble of granting magic or magical power to the armour, but can't magic just be used directly? In fact, the magic consumption can be reduced if there is something that acts as a 'medium' when the magic is activated.
From the magician's point of view, this means that physical strength can be conserved and efficiency can be improved.
I gave the arrow the magic of "Lightning Lance-2", which follows the object caught in view, to ensure that it hits the target, and then I aimed and released the arrow.
At that moment, a roar echoes in the area as if lightning had struck, and the arrow with the lightning spear flies towards the target.
However, it was a split-second event, and the target Ellen had prepared for the arrow hit ...... or perhaps it would be more correct to say that it passed through.
The target was gone and only the target prop remained.
I was a little surprised myself at how powerful it was, but I cleared my throat and then turned around to everyone.
'Ha ha ...... well, I guess it's like that.'
Looking around at everyone's expressions, Ellen has a smug look on her face.
Deanna has a slightly withdrawn expression.
Aria and the others looked at me with a puzzled look, but when their eyes met mine, they gave me a big smile.
'...... Suuuuuper awesome ‼.'
'Brother, awesome ‼.'
'...... yeah, too awesome.'
Apparently the girls were impressed by the series of scenes that happened between their eyes.
'Thank you. But this is something that Aria and the others will all be able to do. Well then, can I have you try it out right away and then tell me what you think of it and the flight suit and all that.'
'Yes.'
After that, Aria and the others used the 'flight suit' and 'armour' and gave various impressions.
Ellen was also very pleased, and the degree of perfection of Aria and her sisters' armour will increase even further.
There is a reason why the girls have been provided with this level of armour.
The reason is to establish a 'flying squadron' in the Second Order of Bardia.
The flying squadron is a unit consisting of four flying squadrons, with Aria and her sisters, who number 16, divided into four sections, with each section consisting of four members.
The squadron will be asked to patrol within Bardia territory.
The names of the magic spear and bow, 'Patrol' and 'Sentinel', are given to the girls who will be patrolling, so they have been given names that include the meaning of guarding.
The regular Knights also patrol, but nothing beats patrolling from the air.
Patrols from both the ground and the sky prevent crime.
It will also be useful to be prepared for espionage from other countries, which is expected when the 'charcoal trucks' and 'pocket watches' become public knowledge.
Eventually, there may be an opportunity to see the girls freely flying high into the sky, aiming at targets with their sights and shooting with their magic spear bows .......
I don't really want that to happen, though.
Just as I was pondering this for a moment, Aria's voice rang out from the sky towards the ground.
'Sentinel, long range attack ‼.'
'Yes. ......?'
At that moment, a thunderbolt fell from the cloudless sky towards the 'target' that had been prepared on the ground.
Instantly, there was a roar in the area, a storm of wind and dust.
To an uninitiated observer, this would be a phenomenon that could be described as a bolt out of the blue.
Aria and the others may have been having too much fun and getting too excited.
However, being near the target on the ground and exposed to the dust and storms, me, Deanna and Ellen are covered in sand.
We were all startled but not hurt.
But our clothes and hair were so heavily covered with sand that everyone present, including me, involuntarily coughed for a while with a "gurgling, kehokehokehokehokehokehokehokehokehokehokehokehoke ministry".
Afterwards, Aria came down to the ground fearfully and muttered with a batty look on her face.
'Ehehe ...... sorry. I overdid it.'
When Aria finished, she mockingly made a 'tehepero' gesture.
'Aria, you did overdo it ....... I and everyone else are covered in sand, too, ‼.'
'Master Rid is right. Aria,...... think a little bit to much ."
'I'm sorry .......'
Needless to say, I and Diana, who were covered in sand, were shaking angrily and lecturing for a while to Aria, who was shuffling.
At this time, Ellen seemed to be muttering something to herself as she looked at us.
'Master Rid does the same kind of things as Aria all the time, so I don't think I can say too much about other people."
But I was so absorbed in Aria's lecture that her words had fallen on deaf ears.
After the unveiling of the weapon, Ellen summarised her impressions of Aria and the other sisters on paper.
The magic spear bow would then be worked on for improvements, taking into account the opinions of the girls.
Among other things, Aria and her sisters pointed out the portability of the weapon during flight, and asked if it could be attached to the back of the waist, as it was out of the way to hold in the hand all the time, which led to Ellen having to think about it anew.
