BXBX NOVEL Chapter 14
"Well, I made a small mistake and fell into the water, so I was wondering if I could borrow the hot shower."
"Oh, yeah. Be careful. Newbies like you are the ones who easily die first. You can\'t just leave your mother and die first, can you?"
"Okay"
I answered so, but this time Monika-san found me and started complaining to master.
"Oh? Isn\'t Allen-kun all soaked? What happened? No way! Rudolph-san! wait! No matter how much you train him, you can\'t wake him, who passed out, by pouring water. He is still a kid, you shouldn\'t do that!"
"Eh? wait a minute. He got soaked and came back. There was no practice today."
When Monika-san heard that, she looked at master with scornful eyes and smiled at me.
"Is that so, well, that\'s fine. Allen-kun, if you stand all soaked in a place like this, you\'ll catch a cold. Come now, onee-san will wash it–"
"I, I can wash it myself, so it\'s okay!"
The atmosphere became suspicious, so I ran away.
"Believe me, I\'m not kidding."
I could hear Monika-san\'s voice from behind, I wonder if it was a joke or not. In any case, I\'m having trouble dealing with what to do when I\'m pressed by that big-breasted nee-san.
I paid 1,000 cents to take a hot shower to warm myself up, then changed into the clothes I brought from home and returned to the guild reception.
"Master, I want you to buy this."
With that said, I offer the treasure item I saw in the Frissen village.

"Oh, Allen-boy as always a good connoisseur. How much do you hope will it be?"
"If it\'s 400,000 cents"
"Well, that\'s a reasonable place. Good, I\'ll buy it."
My savings have increased by 400,000 cents. Of course, it\'s still not enough to reach the target amount, so I need to earn more.
But it\'s not the time to rush things yet.
"Allen-boy, don\'t do anything reckless, okay."
"Yes, teacher"
Let\'s slow down for a while and start by making the VTOL, vertical takeoff and landing glider.

After that, I spent about a month doing various research.
First of all, I learned that there are two important things in making things with [Alchemy] skills.
One is the blueprint. The accuracy of the finished product and the required magical power will change depending on how accurately you can imagine what you are making.
In the game, Amy made a high-performance carriage with a fluffy image, but it was only possible when she grew up dramatically as the main character at the end of the game and also because of her extraordinary amount of magical power. In other words, it\'s impossible for me to do the same thing now.
Therefore, it is important to prepare a blueprint that is as accurate as possible and imagine the structure in my head.
And the other one is to prepare the ingredients as precisely as possible. This is a disposition that I confirmed by conducting additional test because there were many depictions of it in the game, but the amount of magical power required varies depending on the presence or absence of the substances used as the material.
Particularly, it is almost impossible for me now to create anything from nothing.
On the contrary, even if there are not enough materials, similar materials can be used for synthesizing. This trend was especially noticeable in monster materials.
What makes me happy is that I don\'t need to make it using only the Wyvern film, but can also significantly reduce the cost by mixing the bat monster\'s film, which is relatively easy to obtain from Giant Bats.
Also, I learned a few things while controlling the aircraft.
First of all, the positive discovery is that I have almost verified the material for transmitting magical power.
To operate the rudder and elevator, I use the [Alchemy] skill with my left hand to transform it. At that time, I discover that my hair was the most suitable material for transmission like an electric wire.
It was a coincidence that I discovered this. At first, I was experimenting with monster materials from different types and parts of monsters. It happened to be that a hair fell on the experimental tools, which I accidentally used while being in a daze due to lack of sleep, Surprisingly it worked well.
And the negative finding is that I can\'t control multiple locations at the same time. This is a problem related to my ability, If I try to control something in one place, I can\'t seem to be able to control another place.
For example, if I fuel the engine with wind magic, I\'m not able to operate the rudder or elevator.
It is pretty deadly and is quite difficult to achieve vertical takeoff and landing with just one engine. I need at least two like the Osprey, which has become a hot topic in Japan. If possible four like a drone.
When I reached this conclusion, I decided to stop my research for a while.
It seems that, if I can\'t use multiple spells at the same time, I will not be able to operate it.
I know, there is an item called 『Scroll of Multiple Chants』 on the top floor of a place called the Tower of the Sages.
To capture this area high magical power is required, and even if I sneak in with the 【Concealment】skill, I will not be able to climb it.
But, if it\'s the current me, I am confident that I can capture it in another way.
And so, I started designing the tools and procuring supplies needed to capture the Tower of the Sages.
About alchemy, magic, chanting, and magic circles.
Magic is activated by properly using magical power to combine the methods of identifying the completed state and the process to achieve it as a set.
Chants are the words that describe the process of achieving the complete state that you imagined in your head. This words and the completed state imagined in our head are connected by magical power to activate the magic.
A magic circle is the description of the complete state and the process to achieve it. Magic is activated by applying magical power to it. It\'s easy to understand if you think of it as a magical blueprint.
Alchemy: It\'s a kind of magic where you create something by fusing the materials. Since in alchemy the complete state and the process of achieving it are very complicated, it is common to use magic circles instead of chanting.
