30 Times to get some weapon!

In the tranquil ambiance of the mansion, Seraphine and Damian find solace after the unsettling encounter with the Chaos order. Damian assigns a select group of his knights to probe the spy's identity, yet their efforts yield no significant results.

Fortunately, Marcus, the competent butler of the estate, efficiently handles most affairs, alleviating much of their burden when they depart to Riverdale. Damian still chooses to discreet his newfound power and financial situation. They await the opportune moment to make a profound impact on the noble social circle.

Mindful of Seraphine's safety, Damian reminds her to select suitable weapons for self-defense, knowing that unforeseen dangers may lurk around the corner.

On the next day, as Damian immerses himself in the pages of a history book, a knock on his door breaks his concentration. Seraphine enters, carrying a large roll of paper that seems to bear great importance.

"Good morning, young master. You did say today should be my day off, but I couldn't resist sharing something with you," Seraphine greets him with a warm smile.

Curious, Damian closes his book and turns his attention to Seraphine, who unfolds the paper revealing a blueprint.

Seraphine's eyes sparkled with excitement as she unfolded the large roll of paper before Damian. The blueprint revealed a weapon unlike any he had seen before - a modern world sawed-off double barrel shotgun. Its detailed design was sophisticated yet seemingly simple, intriguing Damian's curiosity.

Serafine and Alice both believed that the gun blueprint and shotgun ammunition were more straightforward to create than conventional bullets. The possibility of such creation seemed achievable with their current level of knowledge and technology. However, she should ask Damian for an opinion on this invention too.

"What is this?" Damian inquired, his gaze fixed on the intricate blueprint. He marveled at the ingenuity behind the creation, unsure if their resources could accomplish such a feat.

With a determined smile, Seraphine replied, "It's a shotgun, young master. I devised this as a means of self-defense. Are we able to produce this weapon with our craftsman young master?"

Damian's mind raced with possibilities, and he assured her, "While our workshop may not have the necessary skills, there is a solution. We can seek the aid of the dwarf guild. Their prideful weapon smiths take on projects that pique their interest. I'm confident this blueprint will captivate them."

In general, the dwarf guild is a prestigious weapon-smithing organization that only manufactures weapons for high-ranking nobility and the Emperor. They have full authority to accept or deny requests for their services. However, as Damian anticipated, the dwarf will surely be intrigued by the blueprints he has provided.

Seraphine's eyes widened with hope, and a glimmer of excitement filled her heart. The thought of having her invention crafted by skilled artisans was exhilarating.

"That's a splendid idea, young master!" she exclaimed, feeling grateful for Damian's resourceful thinking.

With a firm and unwavering resolve, Damian declared, "Then it is settled. I shall present the blueprint to the dwarves in the guild. They will surely be excited to bring this unique weapon to life."

After discussing some details of the weapon and setting up a letter to send the blueprint to the dwarf, Seraphine stepped out of Damian's office, feeling a mix of excitement and weariness from her late-night endeavor.

As she stretched her limbs, she couldn't help but engage in a playful banter with Alice, the AI that resided within her mind.

" To be honest, if I had control over your body, I could have finished that blueprint in an hour," Alice teased with a hint of mock superiority.

Seraphine chuckled in response, defending her efforts, "Come on, Alice, I'm not an AI like you. My drawing skills may not be as fast, but they're not that bad."

The AI responded with a sly tone, "Being human is not an excuse for being slow, Seraphine."

Seraphine rolled her eyes playfully, "Alright, alright, point taken."

Curiosity gnawed at Seraphine's mind, and she decided to share her concerns with Alice. "By the way, do you really think a shotgun is suitable for me? I've never used a gun before."

Alice's answer was clear-cut. "Unfortunately, your body is unable to store mana or handle demonic energy. However, with a modern world weapon like a gun, you can protect yourself against most forms of attacks."

A tinge of sadness crossed Seraphine's face at Alice's words, but she quickly mustered a smile. "Well, perhaps my fate balances out with having you by my side."

"But don't worry too much, Seraphine," Alice's voice softened, sensing the sadness in Seraphine's heart. "I've analyzed your body to some extent, and it seems you are capable of using some abilities or magic not based on mana and qi."

"Really? I still can use magic?" Seraphine's eyes sparkled with excitement and curiosity about the potential hidden within her body.

"You don't need to hurry; I will reveal it to you after we get the new weapon. It will be a great combination to use alongside a dagger or short sword, and soon, you'll become a formidable fighter," Alice assured her, withholding her answer for now.

"I never expected to become a fighter, but being able to protect myself would be incredible," Seraphine responded, feeling a newfound determination surging through her.

"However, before we proceed any further, there's one more thing we need," Alice added cryptically.

"What is it?" Seraphine inquired, eager to uncover the missing piece of the puzzle.

"Exercise," Alice declared, emphasizing the importance. "You need to enhance your body and become stronger. Your heart and muscles are too weak right now to face any real challenges."

"Exercise? Ughhhh, I'm too lazy for that," Seraphine groaned, disliking the idea of strenuous physical training, a sentiment she carried even from her past life.

"Lame….." Alice teased playfully, enjoying the banter.

"Shut up! An AI like you, who doesn't physically do anything, doesn't have the right to judge me!" Seraphine retorted, unable to hide her amusement at their playful exchange.
