Magical Craftsman Fixing Magic Tech Problems
Astaroth is seen in the café that has been named Silver Mermaid Café having place her magic boom box on the stage next to Lulala's pool.
"Thanks for agreeing to help me come up with a new type of music." Astaroth thanked the yellow mermaid.
"You're welcome, I always thought your music was cool rapping and playing the guitar like that." Lulala complimented.
"Well, I have been feeling a little song writing block then the idea came to me when I came here the other day of combining different song styles that can help me come up with a new song." Astaroth explained.
"I bet Laphicet would love to hear our song." Lulala smiled.
"That would be something, finding the right song to help come the mighty rage of a dragon into peace and calmness." Astaroth smiled, swaying her hips a little.
"Do you think he'll give us a reward for that?" Lulala asked.
"I'm not sure about that, he doesn't have any money nor any special items on him now." Astaroth said, a little oblivious of what the yellow mermaid is saying.
"No, no, I mean about giving us pleasure on our bodies." Lulala clarified on she said.
"W-W-What?! Pleasure on our… you don't mean like mating with him, do you?" Astaroth shocked with her cheeks turning a little red.
"I was actually thinking of Laphicet my gills which is the sensitive spot for mermaids, but now I'm having sudden thoughts of mating with him!" Lulala giggled with her face turning red as well.
"H-Hold, Laphicet is still young to be doing that just yet!" Astaroth stated.
"(Wait a minute, now that I think about it. I'm sure really sure how old Laphicet is right now.)" Astaroth thought realized.
"A-Anyway, let just get started on our rehearsal." Astaroth said, not wanting to get off topic.
Astaroth connects the plug between her guitar to the magic boom box turning the dial on and strung her guitar for a little sound check, Lulala drank some water and does a little singing exercise to make sure her voice is still in fine tone.
"Okay, I'm ready!" Lulala smiled with a salute.
"Sweet, time we get this show started before this sweet shop open!" Astaroth excited with a little rap.
Astaroth plays her guitar at a low tone for Lulala to sing as well going along with the elegant sound matching up with the rock sound of Astaroth's style, they begun increasing the volume of the sounds together as Lulala is feeling it bobbing her head a little and made a high course.
"Oh yeah, now this is what I'm talking about!" Astaroth smirked.
"Let's crank up the volume!" Astaroth played her guitar harder with a little scream.
Lulala does her best to make her voice a little louder feeling their rhyme are becoming one as this is making her excited to be making new music with one of the Demon Lord of Silver Flame Town, and it's still cool that she is being friends with a Demon Lord right now which makes this extra cool.
However, their little singing session came to an end when the magic boom box began to spark weirdly with some electric sparks coming out, and little exploding sparks came bursting out from the box which got the two girls' attention wondering what's going on and smoke suddenly came out.
"Oh no, not again!" Astaroth panicked.
"Your magic boom box broke." Lulala surprised.
"Yeah, it's been happening for months now, and I've been trying to get this damn thing which seem to work for a while, but it doesn't last long." Astaroth explained as she looks at the boom box.
"I'm guessing being a Demon Lord doesn't include being smart on the magic tech." Lulala asked.
"No, I just try to fix with what little I know of how the boom box works on the inside though it's still nothing to be done for good." Astaroth sighed.
"You know, I have been noticing that the magic in our tools like the lightbulbs and other things are weak as well." Lulala said. Even though she didn't want to remember that time of being a slave, she does remember how the noble had some magic tech working better than this.
"That's what you expect from a rundown town like this one. Actually, now that I think about it, this town had just started gaining some magic tech before me and Belial came here as the new rulers." Astaroth recalled.
"And have you tried getting some better ones?" Lulala asked.
"It isn't easy getting things for this town and the deliveries only come here from time to time." Astaroth pointed out.
"I think Belial has been thinking about looking into that for some time now." Astaroth mentioned.
(With Belial)
Belial is writing down some important stuff for the paperwork then notice her lamp is flicking on and off repeatedly.
"Oh no, don't tell me it's going like that again." Belial sighed.
"Hey Belial, the stove isn't working right again just when I was cooking up something for dinner." Velvet informed as she came into the office.
"Yes, I'm afraid the magical tech in the town may start to have power issues again just like before." Belial noticed.
"Can't you do something about this?" Velvet asked.
"I've been trying to do for the past year since I came to this town but getting someone who help repair all everything requires money that could be over the town's budget." Belial stated.
"If only we have our own craftsman who is skilled with the magical tech, at least to the ones we have." Belial said.
"But can't you just use your own magic to empower the magical techs?" Velvet asked.
"That won't work." Laphicet said as he enters the room with a book in his arm.
"These magical techs are very delicate and even making the tiniest and slightest mistake could end up destroying them rather than fixing them, you need to be an expert with the concentration and great precision." Laphicet explained.
"You already know that much, huh?" Belial surprised.
"I've been reading a lot about them in some of the books and been practicing too." Laphicet hold out his hand to the lamp.
Focusing hard yet calm as he channels his magic into the lamp stopping the flicker and making it light up to bright normally, this surprise the two women that Laphicet is able to do this perfectly make he is a craftsman himself.
"Amazing, I had no idea you could pull such a talented feat!" Belial smiled.
"Yeah, I done this on some lightbulbs to make sure I can get it done correctly." Laphicet chuckled.
"Well, I'm sure a few dozen bulbs won't hurt if this means you can at least help keeping our magical tech working in order for a while." Belial said.
"Few dozens, I've only practiced doing this three times and got done it on the three try." Laphicet revealed.
"What?! Only three times?!" Velvet and Belial gasped.
"That kind skill would take a person months and months of training to get that done, even the experts had to keep practicing on that!" Velvet stated.
"Oh, well, it only took me one night in just a few minutes." Laphicet mentioned this as well.
"One night! When exactly did you practice?" Belial asked.
"I think it was about last night after I finished reading the book." Laphicet showed the book.
The silver dragon boy saw how Velvet and Belial look pale at the moment when he answered that question with their eyes going white too, it was then he realizes that he may have done something weird that is also impossible for most to do unlike he can.
"(I guess it was too much to tell them that.)" Laphicet thought sweatdropped.
"Well, that solves our problem." Velvet said after gathering her thoughts back together.
"What do you mean, the magical tech problem isn't over. In fact, keeping them power isn't going to cut it for long as they will become unusable in the near future." Laphicet pointed out.
"He's right, we won't be able to keep this up forever which means we'll need some new magical techs to work for us better." Belial agreed.
"Hey Laphicet, you wouldn't happen to learn how to make these magical things in that book, did you?" Belial asked, hoping the dragon boy has.
"Nope, there's nothing in the book about making these and I doubt we have any other books for that too." Laphicet answered with a causal face.
"Then we're doom!" Belial slammed her face on the desk.
"It'll only be a matter of time before this town becomes more backward than before we could even make some decent money…" Belial exclaimed.
"Then the answer is pretty obvious." Laphicet said confusing the Demon Lord of Vanity.
"Go find someone who can mix and fix the magical techs, making him official of the town." Laphicet suggested.
"That is logically, but the problem is finding a craftsman who would be willing to come work for this kind of town." Belial concerned of that problem.
"Then we don't we ask Benwick if he knows anything who is good with magical tech craftsmanship, he should be coming today for the supple delivery." Laphicet walked out.
"I guess it wouldn't hurt to try." Belial decided to go along with that.
(Town Gate)
"Wow, you actually got the Direwolves to actually join your own and even welcome mermaids too! You truly are amazing beyond wonders!" Benwick amazed.
"It looks like you gained quite the follower, Lord Laphicet." Eleanor impressed.
"All I did was heal him with my fire which I didn't really know I could do that at the time." Laphicet said.
"Anyway, Benwick, do you know any good craftsman who is really good with magical tech?" Laphicet asked.
"A magical tech craftsman? Aw, I see, the ones in your town aren't doing you any good and you need someone who can help keep them in working order and maybe make them better too." Benwick guessed.
"All that from a guess?" Astaroth shocked.
"Let just say I've been known to read the atmosphere to see what is going on." Benwick bragged a little.
"Hi everyone, I'm back!" Kamoana announced as she and Howler entered the scene.
"Welcome back, how was-By the Lord of the Sea! What is that smell!" Eleanor gasped upon smelling such an awful scent.
"I was hoping you wouldn't notice that." Kaomana exclaimed as Howler look down in shame.
"AAH! It's killing my nose!" Laphicet exclaimed as he fell down on his back, learning about the powerful nose of the dragon the hard way.
"Howler and I were just playing in the woods like always until we accidentally ran into a skunk-mushroom when I threw his favorite stick at it." Kaomana explained.
"Oh my, those things are very bothersome with their powerful stink to make up for the lack of brute strength though they do have nice defense." Belial explained about the skunk-mushrooms.
"It's like you haven't taken a bath in weeks." Velvet commented while trying to fight the smell.
"Bath in weeks?" Benwick said, feeling this sounds familiar to him somehow for a while until something came into his mind.
"Well, it's obvious you need a bath right now." Eleanor stated.
"I know, we were just on our way home to take that bath." Kamoana nodded as Howler also nods with her partner.
"(Funny, I thought all dogs hate baths.)" Laphicet thought commented on that and Kamoana and Howler went back home.
"Lord Laphicet, I believe I just thought of the person who can help you with your tech problem!" Benwick smiled.
"Really, you have?" Laphicet asked surprise.
"That's right, she's a real genius when it comes to machines and magic and both together!" Benwick nodded proudly.
"That's great to hear, you can tell us where she is, and we'll do see her ourselves." Astaroth clapped her hands together, feeling joy.
"I can do better; I can take you to her right now!" Benwick smirked shocking the four here.
"Wait, are you sure with your deliveries?" Velvet asked.
"Oh, that won't be a problem because her place is actually my next delivery and she's only a few hours away over there close to the mountain." Benwick pointed the way to this genius person.
"For real, what are the odds?" Laphicet surprised.
"If we had known about that sooner…" Belieal wondered what this genius girl is like.
"That important thing is that I can finally play by song with anything going wrong, this is how the rapping is going to keep living on!" Astaroth rapped of joy.
"Well, it looks like you will be taking us to see this craftsman." Laphicet smiled at Benwick.
"Trust me, you'll be amaze of the things she can make with that crazy mind of hers!" Benwick promised.
"I'm starting to worry because of the crazy part." Velvet muttered.
(One Long Ride Later)
Laphicet and the three girls are riding in Benwick's cart as the room is actually more space than they thought consider this girl who does wonders with magical tech as Benwick claims, there is only one little box here and he asked Laphicet to make sure it's still in one piece for the delivery.
"So, Benwick, have you known this girl for long?" Laphicet asked.
"Not exactly, just for a few years when I was informed about a new house living up here and asked for some deliveries to come there as well." Benwick said.
"So, what is this craftsman like? The more we know, the better we'll be to negotiate with her to come back to our village." Belial asked.
"Well, I don't think I need to say anything once you see her house though I will warn you a few things. The girl can be a bit of an airhead, she doesn't read the atmosphere and be too focused on her work to notice anything else around her." Benwick explained.
"But she must be already friendly if you know that much about her." Laphicet stated.
"That is true, she likes to be the kind of person can lift people's spirits up with her cheerfully mood." Benwick chuckled.
"Plus, she's not afraid to make new friends either." Benwick added.
"Anyway, we just arrived. Come take a look for yourselves." Benwick said.
Laphicet, Belial, Astaroth, and Velvet stand up a little to see this house of this so-called genius lives and they became immediately shocked of seeing the house is big about two-stories high and mostly made of metal with pipes and tubes sticking out along with seeing magical energy going through within the tubes.
"Wow, her house is so futuristic!" Astaroth shocked of amazement.
"This is reminding of the Archangel Sandalphon who is always so into tech combining it with magic, never thought I would meet another person like that." Belial surprised.
"Damn, this is more than what little I know." Velvet admitted.
"Wow, she really is a genius!" Laphicet amazed.
"You can say that again. Come on, if you're going to meet her than you should come with that package." Benwick said as he jumps off the cart.
Laphicet follows Benwick to the front door and the young man with the pirate hat pressed the red button causing a loud monkey noise to come.
"(That's her doorbell?)" Laphicet thought weirded out from this.
"Hey Pascal, are you home?" Benwick called out.
"OH NO!" A girl screamed from the inside of the house and a loud explosion erupted shocking everyone.
A few seconds later, the door slide open showing a girl coming out coughing up some smoke out of her.
"Oh damn, looks like I messed that one up too. Oh well, I'll just have to keep trying." The girl said.
"Hey Pascal, here for your delivery." Benwick greeted.
"Oh, hey there, Benwick. Sorry about that, I was working on combining to opposing elements like fire and water to make them into something new, but as you can see, it didn't work out very well." Pascal explained.
Pascal appears to be a girl in her teen years with her hair color is white at the top and down on the lower half is red, and golden-brown eyes. She wears a light blue shirt showing down close to her chest, light green sleeves with darker green gloves, orange shorts with stripes going over her shoulders with little patches and a purple pack on the right side of her waist, black leggings that stops halfway to the bottom half of the legs and matching boots. Breasts D-cup.
"So, this is the genius magical tech craftsman you told us about?" Laphicet asked.
"Hey there, may name is Pascal and I hope you're here to witness my greatness!" Pascal smiled.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Things seem to be going a little bad for the Silver Flame Town with the magical techs starting to wear down until Benwick provided them the answer, a genius girl who loves tech and magic and here we have Pascal from Tales of Graces and is much more than what Benwick was telling them.
