After completing the K01 design, the first place I ran to was Varner’s laboratory.

I wanted to tell Varner about the idea of ​​arranging fire and wind magic stones together as soon as possible. I also had a strong desire to make it according to the design as soon as possible.

“Askan, this way.”

Normally, I would have taken a carriage and headed to the laboratory alone, but today was special because I was with Askan.

Since I achieved my goal, I had to return the various reference materials I had taken to the Brelov mansion to their original place.

Askan followed me with his hands full of luggage.

“Please slow down. Miss, you’ll trip.”

Despite his words, my pace did not slow down. Having escaped the worries that had been bothering me until now, I felt as if wings were on my feet.

Arriving at Varner’s laboratory in an instant, I flung the door open.

The laboratory was a narrow and shabby place where books were piled up on all sides and there was no space for magic engineering machines.

It was not a place for a noble lady to hang out, but I had visited often and the scenery had become very familiar to me.

“Master!”

“Huh? What’s up at this time?”

Varner, who had been drawing magic formulas, looked at me with a puzzled expression.

Unable to hide my bubbling joy, I answered with a bright smile.

“I finally found a solution.”

“Solution?”

“Yes. It’s about K01. I think we can generate much more power by equipping fire and wind attributes together!”

Although my explanation was a bit hasty, Varner’s eyes widened as if something had occurred to him.

I quickly unfolded the K01 design I had brought in front of Varner.

Varner carefully looked over the design and soon said with a flush face,

“You are indeed my disciple! How did you come up with such a novel idea? Well done, well done!”

Varner, soaked in joy, was about to pat my head.

Thud, Askan, who had suddenly come close, grabbed Varner’s hand in the air.

“What, what is it?”

Varner seemed surprised by the sudden appearance of Askan.

But Askan did not care about Varner’s reaction, he looked at me and asked in a lower voice than before.

“Miss, where shall I put the books?”

At first, I was surprised that Askan blocked Varner’s hand. But from the following conversation, I understood that he had come closer to ask where to put the books.

Although it felt like his timing was perfect, I didn’t care much.

“Oh, just leave it anywhere empty.”

“Yes.”

With his usual expressionless face, Askan put down the load he had been carrying in the corner.

Varner, as if curious, looked at me and Askan and asked,

“Who is he?”

“He’s my servant. He came with me today because I have a lot of luggage.”

Varner looked at Askan suspiciously, but soon forgot about the previous incident and grinned while looking at the K01 design.

Looking at Varner now, I could feel that there was nothing in his head but K01.

“Now that the design is complete, it’s time to make it ourselves.”

“That’s why I came in a hurry. How long will it take if we start working now?”

“It won’t take long. Have you thought about what metal to use?”

“Yes. In my opinion……”

I thought it would be better to write on paper than explain in words. I was about to lean closer to where Varner was because I saw a pen there.

“Here it is, miss.”

Somehow noticing, Askan ghostly approached and handed me a pen.

With a startled expression, I accepted the pen and expressed my gratitude.

“Oh, thank you.”

So, with the pen that Askan gave me, I continued the serious conversation with Varner while filling in various lists on the paper.

After a long discussion, we decided on the materials to make K01. Now that the specific details were decided, all that remained was to make it in real and experiment.

Suddenly I turned my head and saw Askan staring at me blankly.

‘Since when has he been watching?’

It was almost creepy that Askan had been standing in the same position, doing the same action since the start of the conversation with Varner.

Then, Varner tapped on the list we had decided and said,

“So everything is over now? If there’s nothing else to see, just go in.”

Usually when I worked with Varner here in the lab, I went in at a much later time. It was too early now compared to that.

“So soon?”

“We’ve been waiting for the weapon to be completed anyway. It will take a few days to get the materials I just mentioned, ask the experts to work according to the blueprint, and bring the completed parts.”

“That’s right.”

Once the design of K01 was completed, there was nothing left for me to do here. Today wasn’t even the day for magic technology class.

Moreover, since I hadn’t come alone and had brought Askan, I was considering whether it was time to go.

Suddenly, Barney, who was sitting next to me, leaned close and whispered in my ear.

“And your attitude, you’ve been looking at me with eyes as if you’re going to eat me since a while ago. It’s scary. Did you skip a meal?”

“What?”

I was taken aback. Skip a meal, when I usually take care of Askan so well…
