Looks like MC has taken the first step on the road to gaining some business sense. It's not common sense, but that's not necessarily required. MC can keep his doofy sense of style, so long as he's making tools that are actually useful for the people he's selling to.

Ok how the feck do they intent to turn desert sand into 'stone'?
What's the strength of the faux-stone material?
Sound like an engineering disaster waiting to happen imho.

This series keeps impressing me with how refreshing it is, I especially like that gaile has a goal and things he needs to improve on before he can accomplish it, this dumped by party trope tends to have alot mcs with no goals or short term ones lots of slow lifers, wanderers or revenge focused mcs

Let's create a petrification beam to help with our stone supplies, surely nothing will go wrong with that and it'll never be used as a weapon by someone else
I mean, Nobel invented TNT to provide a safer mine excavation; which is now also used to make bombs.
Inventions always have unforeseen, sometime unwanted, consequences.
Scientists and inventors always have to make their choices to decide if the risks are too much or not.
Current examples is artificial general intelligence, pandora's box has been opened on that subject, was it a good idea? Probably not.

Hey now, I didn't launch my scud anesthetic missile to your location but I do know they are notorious for leaking everywhere it goes. Did ya get a whiff or something?


I will use it if you exhaust yourself too much by working on this series. Thanks for the work but now go get more rest.

Must admit, turning petrification materials into industrial matter-transmutation tools is something I had never even thought of.

I wonder what kind of rock it transmutes to, and whether the original material matters. Like, does sand remain unaffected, change mineral type, or does it clump into a solid rock akin to how human cells does? Does wood retain its grains, and does that weaken the material when force is applied from certain directions (like that rock where you can peel off thin sheets of translucent and somewhat flexible rock)? If you have a really heave material like tungsten or uranium, does it increase the volume after transmutation, or lower the weight?
Thanks for the translation
You know I agree with Gaile, the design does look plain and uncool.
Nah it looks cool. But it does look super unwieldy and the opposite of functional.

If you can lug that unwieldy thing 1 meter away from your enemy, aim it, and turn it on... I think you would have been better off with a spear, bow, or poisonous smoke-bomb. Maybe works if there is only one enemy, but far too heavy to sweep onto second before they impaled you.

Besides, it holds far more value as a tool for producing what would have been an expensive import, than as some short-ranged implement of combat (that risks its structural integrity, or risks losing it to plunder). Granted, I could see some exception for slow disaster-class monsters, where regular arms has little effect.

I mean everything is a double edged sword when it comes to technology advancement when you think about it, cars are a great invention, but are also what cause by far the most unnatural deaths in the world (yes this includes comparing things such as guns and knives), every invention, no matter if it can be weaponized or not, has the potential for misuse.

I didn't think Maura is the type to get flustered from handholding. She was normally doing high fives before. And TF is that thanks giving, give her a super cursed ring or something :meguusmug:

Honestly, my practicality worry isn't about what type of stone this makes, its strength, etc.

It's that this stone is presumably going to be used in permanent structures, and it's not just stone, it's cursed stone. And while that's usually fine, Gaile hands out curse-dispelling freebies like candy for random stuff, which could now potentially destroy someone's house, if it's made from curse stone.

Seems like the kind of thing you'd have to keep a lid on, but I can't expect Gaile would stop handing the dispel charms out.

Thanks for the translation! Great work as usual!
Now I'm wondering if Gaile can modify the petrification beam to work on non-organic materials? To prevent it from being used on people? It should be possible as a curse to modify it against monsters and stuff, but not humans, but who knows in that kind of form?
