I go ahead and buy a lot of steel ore at Elixir Lapis. That's enough for Ix's energy cannon and Rian and Bran's spears.

I'm going to head to Aquas, the town of water trees. There you will buy a large quantity of Aquas water, which is said to be a specialty of the town. Good medicine and good shaved ice come from good water! This is what it looks like when appraised.

Aquas Water: rarity 9 Material Quality A

Water produced by the oldest water trees. It's one of the best waters and very popular in many countries.

Finally, we bought a lot of coconuts at the Sandwall Desert Conut Village. This is the same as the ingredients, but I'm curious about the rope, so I thought I'd make some tomorrow and see what I can do.

The rest is wood for rune magic... where to gather it... and I'm sure they're all in the Yellow Ossa Forest. Then my target is still that place... it's already midnight and I have a more difficult quest ahead of me than the boss fight.

In the meantime, I'll give Hephaistos the materials and head to the Battleship with Ix.

I put the energy cannon material on the conveyor belt and select the energy cannon. The material is sucked inside and the energy cannon is completed. Appraisal.

Energy Cannon: Ex Machina Exclusive Weapon　

Weight 60 Attack power: varies with charge

One of Ex Machina's main armaments and a medium-range, high firepower weapon.

A higher level weapon than the Energy Blaster, focusing the radiated energy of the Energy Blaster and greatly increasing its firepower.

Requires a charge to shoot, and the longer it takes to charge, the more firepower it produces.

It's a high level armament of the Energy Blaster, after all. It's always hard to tell how much firepower it has increased until you use it.

'How's that?　Ix.

We're connected. You are good to go. Master.

Let's go try it out in the training room.

Yes, Master.

As a result, a dragon breath class energy was released and the target was obliterated. I knew the evolved Ix weapons were strong. However, I also discovered a flaw. The energy cannon seemed to be a straight line attack. The energy blaster was able to move Iksu if he was forced to.

But it has firepower, so I might not be too worried about it. At least Ix seems to be satisfied with it.

'I feel great. Master.

Yes. Well, we've got our weapons now. Now all that's left is Lily. Ahhh, I'm nervous.

When I get back to the reapings, I call Lily to my room.

"How can I help you?　Tact?

Yeah. Actually, I have a present for Lily.

I take out Lily's engagement ring.

'Will you take it?'

If I didn't get this one, it would be a trauma of a lifetime for me. But it seemed to be an odd coincidence.

'Yes!　Yes!　Oh, tact!　Put it on Lily's finger!

'Oh, oh...'

Huh? Is this what it's like? Well, okay...I'm going to equip Lily's left hand with the ring finger.

'Beautiful...oh!　I'll have to tell little Aeon and the others!

Lily made a mad dash out of the room. I haven't heard that proposal or anything like that yet... or rather, Lily's, but you don't understand the meaning of that one.

'Tact gave me a ring, a gift!

On this day, the biggest scream ever sounded in Leaping.

'Wait a minute!　A diamond ring on your left hand...

And this dragon with the ring... isn't that your sister Lily?

'What?　Really?　Heh heh heh~

I'm sure Lily must have an awful loose cheek...I've missed saying the proposal and I feel like I'm in a hole. Let's curl up in bed for now.

'Wow!　Congratulations!　Lilly Sis!

'Yes. As a woman, it's frustrating, but congratulations.

But doesn't this mean you're giving it to us?

That's true. Takuto-han has to say it when he says it, right~

I'm sorry I didn't...

'So what kind of a proposal did Tact make to you?'

'Yes!　That's the point!　Let's hear it!　Lily!

Hmm...

Huh?　What's a proposal?

I am sure that time has stopped for all of us. Just kill me already!

'Wait a minute. Lily got that ring from Mr. Tact, didn't she?

Yes!

...Did Mr. Tact say anything else?

'Nope. I got Takht to equip me and then I rushed over to the others.

We're all aware of the situation. Go ahead, laugh. Laugh at this poor man.

"Lily... what have you done...

'You got carried away by the gift of a ring...'

Is the Lord okay?

No, no, no, this is not... If this is not done right, they'll take us down too.

Ion explains to Lily.

'May I?　Lily. This ring isn't just a ring, it's a wedding ring.

What's that?

Well, I don't know if it's a good idea... for a man and a woman to make an everlasting commitment to each other.

"Huh. ...... Huh?

Lily's face turns bright red.

'Well, that means... tact and Lily...'

'You finally understand... and that's why I was supposed to get a man to say his vows to me.

'What?　We have to get them in a hurry!

You can't say that under these circumstances! I hit the logout button and stormed off to bed in reality.
