Jujutsushi Wa Yuusha Ni Narenai - Chapter 223.2 - Sealing Spear

I had never expected that Tendou-kun, of all people, would suddenly interrupt the conversation.

Seeing both Class Rep and me at our wit’s end, the tsundere thug sent an unexpected lifeboat.

「Could it be that you can use it, Tendou-kun?」

「Nope, I can’t.」

I mean, I wouldn’t be too surprised if his whatever goes vocation, 『King』 suddenly allowed him to use that magic. However, I had absolutely no idea about this.

「Then who among us can use that magic?」

「Takanashi. I heard from her before that she can use 『Eternity』.」

「TAKANASHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!」

I was mighty pissed off since that shi*ty sage hid her ability from me again, but since it solved the main problem of lacking the user of 『Eternity』, I’ll let her off just this once. Moreover, I had just the right job for her during the subjugation of Yamata no Orochi.

Now the 『Sage』 Takanashi, who got the seat of honor to stand at the frontline along with Class Rep, was…

「Impossible, that’s absolutely impossible, Kotori will die for sure!」

I don’t care about your whining, it’s Class Rep and Souma-kun’s job to persuade you.

I was pondering over the details regarding the subjugation plan of Yamata no Orochi amid Takanashi’s whining that resounded at the entrance of the workshop like BGM.

「Maybe we should use an anchor-shaped arrow and then tie it with rope.」

I think the plan would work much better if we prepared something like this before, just in case.

Since Yamata no Orochi looked like a giant snake, restraining its head with a chain was far from enough. It might be possible if our opponent was a beast with limbs though.

For the sealing tool of ice and rock, maybe we should crucify it by stabbing the arrow from above its head.

However, it was practically impossible for both of them to create a giant stake. Even if it was possible, we had a problem with how to drive them through Orochi’s head. Even if we became Superman due to vocation, it didn’t mean that we’re omnipotent.

「Since we’re racing against time, it’s pretty much impossible to make a stake of that size and drive them in within the allotted time.」

In that case, it would be more practical if we made them in the form of a spear, or should we call it a lance in this case, made according to standardized size and easy to drive in.

But it was only as long as an ordinary lance, it was far from enough to pierce through the head and nail Orochi to the ground.

「How about preparing both? The lance for piercing the head and the stake for the ground, we will connect them with chains.」

Though I doubt such a method would work, it was within the possible range.

Moreover, if we prepared an anchor that had already been buried in the ground beforehand, we just needed to stab the head with a lance. We could mobilize our vanguard and have them impale the ground with the prepared stuff beforehand.

「However, considering its size, we might not be able to prepare that much.」

Meaning that we need to gather quite a lot of metals. At least it was reassuring to know that we could use just any iron, making it easier to gather. We could also expect mining resources from the desert area.

「Maybe we need around ten to twenty to seal one head of Yamata no Orochi… Himeno-san, can you make three hundred iron lances with alchemy by yourself?」

「Don’t screw with me, that’s impossible!」

O-Ou. I guess I pushed the thing too far since all Himeno-san had done as of late was manufacture material with simple alchemy formation in the workshop or level her healing magic with govu in the testing site.

Not to mention that her keeper-kun was completely enamored with a new woman… Perhaps, Himeno-san’s stress level had reached the bottleneck. We needed an urgent reformation of the working environment.

「Well, that’s asking a bit too much indeed.」

「You can actually help me out, Momokawa-kun.」

「I wish I could do that alas, I’m just as busy as you.」

I mean, I couldn’t use my shadow to invoke simple alchemy formation. Even my real body was completely locked inside the workshop.

But I knew that I couldn’t tell her that at this time. Thanks to the accumulation of fatigue, Himeno-san’s eyes were really scary right now.

「I don’t care who it is, just allocate more manpower. What about Randou-san, she’s more skilled than me, right?」

「Since Randou-san is the key player for the seal, I want her to focus on raising her skills right now.」

Surely, Randou-san’s biggest selling point was her vocation and skills which was really useful for manufacturing. But she already had a lot on her plate. Not to mention that she was the key player in the sealing plan.

「I’m all alone, this is already my limit. You want 300 lances, right? Sure, I’ll give you in a hundred years.」

「Not lance, chain and anchor to nail the chain on the ground.」

Meaning that it wasn’t 300, it was 300 sets.

「We might not be able to finish it even after we turn into adults, you know?」

Said Himeno-san, light vanishing from her eyes. Well yeah, definitely can’t afford to wait for five years.

But I guess we need to increase the number of laborers.

There was also another thing that I wanted to make aside from anchor sets…

「We’re facing a serious shortage of spellcasters.」

Maybe I ought to try to see if the vanguard could use simple alchemy formation too. If it didn’t work, it would be a real waste of time.

「Ah come to think of it, there’s Nakajima-kun.」

「What about Haruma-kun?」

「Since his vocation is 『Magic Swordsman』, he’s supposed to have an aptitude for spellcaster despite being a vanguard.」

Moreover, Himeno-san was quite irritated whenever she saw him getting smitten by Kenzaki you know? Honestly, I was very willing to shut my eyes and let them flirt as long as it could raise the completion rate of our plan, regardless of Nakajima’s wish.

「Humph, I see, that’s absolutely right… I’ll leave the arrangement of that matter to you, Momokawa-kun.」

「Leave it to me, Himeno-san. And make sure you guide the newcomer properly, okay.」

Nakajima, I don’t care even if you’re getting all fired up with your new love, but make sure you take care of your ex. Our current motto is “Everyone should get along with each other”, after all.
