Moto Ansatsusha, Tensei Shite Kizoku no Reijou ni Narimashita - Ch. 24 - Strategy Meeting

Page 9:


It's a folding fan. It can be more than a centimeter thick once folded.

This specific fan has 18 blades. At just 1 mm per blade, the whole thing will be at least 1.8 cm thick once folded.

And since the fan is supposed to be blunt, 1 mm per blade is a pretty reasonable estimate.

That thing would be deadly as hell folded, It’s essentially a small club/mace.

As an assassin’s tool, used to crack unsuspecting people on the head it would probably be harder to not do serious damage.

YOU WERE USING PAINT???

Sure was, yeah...
On my very first chapter (ever) for Shinigami i was using the OG paint, then switched to Paint3D for the sole reason of it havin center text align. Did lose the free form select with that tho. Now, i've been using Paint3D ever since that. I did briefly try GIMP, but uninstalled that very quickly because it'd just crash whenever i tried to use text outline.
And, well, to fix my text outline issue i wanted to make a font that has a built in outline so that i'd be able to use that in Paint3D, asked ChatGPT how to do that, it said use inkscape to draw the letters. Well, i don't need the font anymore. That recommendation saved me so much time...

Maybe it's stronger and more supportive than it looks? Though looking at it from behind I have no idea how it could be.

The magical miracle of dressmaking... 😋
Helped by the implied youthful gravity-resistant firmness and pertness of her Assets.
Those ladies exist, they're just really uncommon.

And no... you can't buy stuff like that off the shelf. To work as intended the dresses, especially the body, need to be made exactly to size.

Edit: the dress is in construction no different from several types of strapless bridal dresses. No doubt one of those types formed the base for our FL's dress.

I don't really know if they are really unbelievably stupid or have absolute balls of steel

The issue is that while it does have a strap, and could provide a lot of support vertically if well shaped. If it provides any sideways support it would have to compromise on core movement with fairly ridged structural elements, because there isn't the option for using the back to provide lateral support. Basically I expect her tits to bounce side to side far more than would be comfortable.

Bias-cut cheese-cloth interlining. Gives rigidity and stretch/flex in specific directions. If properly connected with the right stitches in the right places.
That top's a lot more solid than it looks.. Which is the whole point...
The wrinkles you see in the dress are because the outermost layer that you see is only connected to the interlining/inner lining at the main seams, so it can shift over the hidden "wonder bra".

It's a technique common in Elisabethan dress, both for doublets and dress tops , and developed from there.

And there's a solid reason tailors and seamstresses who can pull this off professionally are highly paid, with the dresses being spectacularly expensive.
It's an utter biatch to pull off right, requires several fittings, and assembling the interlining is oldfashioned manual work.

 

[Bibliothecarius]

Thanks for the chapter!!!!

 

[feha]

It is more or less an early flintlock pistol

What? Since when does she have memories/knowledge from the modern world? She had a past life beyond her past life (as an assassin) in her current world?

This kind of nerdery is why I love reading the comments

Tbh I just assumed that she picked that design years ago (before her 'growth spurt') and simply didnt realize her newfound tits have outgrown the amount of decency that design can accommodate

You know what, good point. I think i'll change it to "He calls it a Flintlock Pistol" since he invented it.
The AI just said "It's a gun!" so i improvised a bit and may or may not have forgotten that's a thought bubble, not a narrator type thing.
edit: Okay, that should take care of any knowledge plot holes there, should sound sufficiently "First encounter with early firearms"-like.

 

[Askorti]

I wouldn't overestimate the fan as a weapon. Even when made out of steel it cant weight too much (or it would seem very sus during any sort of weapons-check), and due to short length the energy transfer wouldn't be that efficient.
Still, better than nothing, and definitely very stylish.

 

[AbuHajaar]

The boobs give attack bonus I swear it's BIS

 

[UdenEmpati]

the part that gets me is she's supposed to be 16 at this point.

Which, I get it, I remember high school and everyone's different developmentally and she's a noble as well.
But it feels a bit on the nose, still.

for real, I came for the goofy Isekai dense-ass noblewoman assassin, and learned all about dressmaking and textiles instead.

The Internet is awesome sometimes.

Iron fans do exist but historically mainly for signalling. Maybe if you have it folded you could tap someone but I doubt it's effectiveness.
Also flintlocks are quite advanced for a prototype gun. Not only are they reliable compared to their ancestors but also relatively accurate depending on the shooter.
If it was a prototype it should at least be a matchlock or a primitive handgonne rather than an advanced firearm

 

[Akudia94]

The fan reminds me of those old Geisha assassinations in the Shogun: Total War games. Pretty sure one of those cutscenes was killing someone with a fan.

Serena's obliviousness reminds me of how in Heroine Survival Aria gets annoyed that guys keep falling in love with her, when she does stuff like kabedon or go commando around them.

Thanks for the translation, looked good!

both were badass assassin girl and oblivious of their charm and body.

 

[Wizardrone]

I echo your sentiment regarding Shagard - hopefully he is just a hapless victim to the twins' and their mother's bullying and harassment & machinations.

I rather like Serena being "assassin-brained" and oblivious to everything else. Makes some situations/interactions a bit rough to read, but not even that much all told, and I much prefer awkward social interactions over her being too-perfect in too many different ways.

I did laugh when it turned out she dressed to her own comfort and had no idea how she appears to everyone else.
Playing the Villainess with none of the charismatic self-awareness.

the thing is why they are bullying the next king anyway they should now once he become one chopping their heads wont be an issue

 

[dkamar]

Hm, I feel like the half-siblings are right on the fence, where they're just nasty (rather than just being foolish) that you could see them crossing the MC's bottom line and ending up dead or in jail or meeting some sort of tragic karmic end, but they have an angsty enough backstory and haven't done anything capital-E Evil yet, so I can see one or both dodging a bad fate, or they could get broken down but it works out for them in the long run, or...

Usually writers struggle to hide which way a story is going to break on that kind of thing, so it's kind of interesting to realize I can't pin it down yet.

Almost all girls are done growing by 16, and won't gain any more height or bust size. Typically they are mostly finished by 14 and only grow a small amount after that. Boys are slower to finish growing and for some reason people tend to think of the male growth rate as being normal.

Technically both genders have some amount of growth that continues until 18-23 depending on the person, but it's mostly internal and imperceptible. Those internal changes can actually be pretty important, but they don't meaningfully impact height or bust size.
