No, no, I digress. Anyway, I made three prototypes.
Introducing the [Combat Suits Rabbit-Type for Worry-Free Ladies♡] and [Dog Servant-Type]! The official names are [Magic Armor MetalLovey] and [Magic Armor MetalHound].
For tiny I-na, I made a cat version too – [Magic Armor MetalKitty].
This completely solves the body line issue.
With the compact magic capacitors installed, even low magic generators can use them.
Temperature control inside, enhanced senses to match increased power and speed. They’re so well-made,
underwater operations are possible too.
187: Anonymous Combatant
Ah, that’s right, I saw what looked like rabbit ears and dog ears around their heads too.
The particularly tiny cat ears must be I-na’s.
188: Anonymous Combatant
The overall form did have a certain roundness to it. Not sure if I’d call it cute though.
189: hakase
Well, it’s just a prototype design for unisex animal-motif armor.
I’d be in trouble if it was too cutesy and people complained.
Anyway, I finished it and had L-ria and the others try it on.
Following in the footsteps of classic tokusatsu shows, they can instantly self-equip it with the keyphrase “Beast Armor, Henshin!”
I’m quite capable, if I do say so myself.
190: Anonymous Combatant
That’s more for the heroes of justice lol
191: Anonymous Combatant
The tech is truly impressive at least.
192: hakase
L-ria: “This certainly doesn’t show off our figures at all.”
S-yaka: “It’s surprisingly comfortable too, and I don’t feel any weight. The power is amazing.”
I-na: “hakase, this isn’t very cute at all!”
Well, everyone has their opinions I suppose. Just try moving around in it first. That’s all I was going for.
…Yeah, I know, it’s quite surprising.
I never expected them to push Eres that far on their first real battle.
193: Anonymous Combatant
You’re telling me? I’m the one who’s shocked here!
194: Anonymous Combatant
For Eres, who has defeated monsters and demon soldiers, to get overpowered like that was completely unexpected!
195: hakase
I’m just as stunned!
S-yaka and I-na are fine – this was just meant to be a test of upgrading the soldiers’ abilities!
But L-ria, she was born in this dimension with only a tiny sliver of a soul and magic power!
How did she pull off those insane 3D high-mobility moves!?
She’s in the communications department and doesn’t even train regularly!
She may not have magic or athletic ability, but her combat sense rivals even Cat eared’s!
196: Anonymous Combatant
Even the hakase is getting riled up…
197: Anonymous Combatant
It really was beyond anything imagined.
198: hakase
They had to retreat due to running out of magic, but that was frightening.
As the one who made it, I have to say the magitech armor is too much. With just instinct and creativity, it lets even those with zero physical or magic ability become top-tier fighters. Mass-producing it would make suppressing uprisings too easy.
199: Anonymous Combatant
I mean, even if they manage to defeat Lost Fairies-chan, it’d be awful if the executive couldn’t even beat the combatants.”\
200: Anonymous Combatant
L-ria was just operating on a completely different level.
You should probably add an emergency stop function as a safety.
201: Anonymous Combatant
Or ya know, just not give that kind of powered suit to a non-combatant.
202: Anonymous Combatant
No reason to deploy her to battle at all really.
203: hakase
Well S-yaka was begging me “Please, can’t we at least test out the capabilities?” so I had no choice.
Of course, I was planning to shield them if things got dangerous.
I never imagined it would reach that level. A tragedy born of my own genius…
L-ria’s combat sense is just too frightening. The magitech armor is staying sealed up.
204: Anonymous Combatant
Yeah, that’s probably for the best.
205: Anonymous Combatant
As the invaders, we don’t want to imagine squads of those monstrosities coming at us either.
206: Anonymous Combatant
So what about designing proper female battle uniforms then?
207: hakase
Cat Eared: “Just prepare multiple relatively modest yet individualized uniform patterns, meow. Then it’s simple.”
Me: “But I’m worried that would compromise combat ability.”
Cat Eared: “You could easily make accessory-type magitech gear to boost defense and such, meow.”
Ah, good point. Cat Eared, you’ve really grown up…
208: Anonymous Combatant
If he could do that, why didn’t he from the start? Lol
209: Anonymous Combatant
Did it really take being called out for him to realize?
210: hakase (in designer mode)
So for the non-combatants, we settled on letting them wear their own preferred outfits,
with me providing special defensive magitech accessories to make up for the lack of armor.
I’ll equip them with body enhancements, magic barriers, basic wards and such at the very least.
S-yaka: “Um, hakase? Could you make a pair design for me and N-tarou?”
I-na: “Ah, no fair S-yaka! I want a matching set with M-man-niichan too!”
L-ria: “You two…My apologies hakase, but for me something simple would be fine.”
Leader: “I think I would prefer a necklace type as well.”
So here I am, taking orders from the soldiers to make personalized accessory designs for each of them.
Sexy, if only you could come back, even just for a bit… You’re better at the cute designs.
Cat Eared is happily working on outfit patterns. Well, despite saying I’d provide general patterns, Cat Eared is just designing all the outfits herself. This definitely isn’t a executive’s job anymore.
Cat Eared: “This is fun, meow. Maybe I’ll do fashion work someday too, meow.”
I’ve made up my mind – my next target will be the apparel industry.
211: Anonymous Combatant
Jeez, you really are a pushover for Cat Eared, aren’t you?
212: Anonymous Combatant
Cat Eared’s designs might hit the market eventually.
213: Anonymous Combatant
But hey, isn’t this weird?
214: Anonymous Combatant
What is?
215: Anonymous Combatant
That super powerful metal armor battle suit is crazy strong, right?
Instead of just sealing it away, shouldn’t you defeat Lost Fairies first since they are the one interfering with the invasion?
216: Anonymous Combatant
But he probably doesn’t want to beat Fiona.
217: Anonymous Combatant
Okay, but what about the leader? The hakase’s motivations seem inconsistent.
218: hakase
Ah, but you see, I’m just playing the role of an evil organization’s scientist.
I do have a strategy in mind. Now’s just not the right time for it, that’s all.
219: Anonymous Combatant
What strategy?
220: hakase
Se-cret. A man needs his mysteries to add depth.
221: Anonymous Combatant
Don’t give me that chuuni crap.
222: Anonymous Combatant
Creepy.
223: Anonymous Combatant
Screw you.
224: hakase
My my, such harsh treatment…
READ THE ORIGINAL TRANSLATION AT LOCALIZERMEERKAT.PAGES.DEV
Halvied reviews the data he has collected in his room.
“…The magitech armor experiment was a success. However, in its current state it would be unwise to entrust it to the soldiers – they would go overboard. While powerful, it lacks stability, so I will temporarily seal it away under that pretext. Eventually I can propose equipping a simplified version to the demon soldiers, providing an affordable high-performance army, which should satisfy the leader Vilaverit. Deceptive, but it will prevent reckless invasions for now. To maintain this stalemate, I’ll need Lost Fairies to keep working hard.”
Introducing the magitech armor would accelerate the invasion too quickly – a pace Halvied does not want.
Yet too much stagnation could lead an impatient Vilaverit to take reckless action, making the collateral damage hard to control.
Delnkeim has been repeatedly attack with monsters, but without any civilian, enemy or even ally casualties so far – a situation Halvied wanted to prolong as much as possible.
“I should also check on that ‘favor’ I asked of Leng. But this device obtained this time…even the Japanese have their idiots, turning a blind eye to pollution for efficiency’s sake. Pointless technology like this engine has no future. Best to dispose of it swiftly. The affiliated companies need disciplining too – have monsters deployed on them, I suppose. Ugh…Zeros, won’t you return to me? No, this is all for the leader’s sake. Mint tablets, lend me your power.”
He pops several of his favorite cool mint tablets. A refreshing burst, letting him work longer.
“Now then, time for a side project. It’s good Miina has taken an interest in fashion design. I should make a list of fashion schools she could attend. But first, high school enrollment and procedures. Should I learn bento-making ahead of time…? Since I’ll be participating in school events, I’ll need a new suit too – I can’t embarrass her as an older brother figure. …And maybe hire some secret bodyguards just in case of bullying. Heh, Miina as a student, how delightful. This will be fun.”
Q: Why would an evil scientist with the means to defeat the transformed heroines choose to seal that power away instead?
A: Because he has not yet reached his intended goal.
