As Herad examined the blueprints improved by the Super Magic Computer, Vereesa's clear voice rang out at the doorway.
"I'm coming in, second brother!"
Hearing her voice, Herad turned and glanced at her.
"No one would complain if you slipped in quietly."
"How could I do that? Sneaking around isn't my style!"
As she spoke, the lovely, pretty Ranger walked into the office.
Vereesa had recently completed all her Ranger training courses.
She was now gaining experience in the Ranger forces.
She had come to the Island Armory this time to inspect and accept the Ranger forces' arrows and bullets on her mother's behalf.
Her real purpose, however, was to check on the processing of the Devilsaur hide.
After learning that Herad was at the weapons design bureau, she had stopped by to see him.
Vereesa was puzzled by the blueprints on the desk.
There was nothing strange about the ship in the blueprints having no sails.
Oil-burning ships did not need sails.
But the lack of a smokestack and an island superstructure looked very strange!
Could this be some special kind of magical ship?
The Obsidian Warship was a top-level secret.
Even at the factory where the Obsidian Warship had been built, no one knew exactly what was going on.
All they knew was that Herad had delivered a great deal of obsidian to the factory.
Then he had driven them all out.
Afterward, nothing had remained inside the factory.
Presumably, he had made some incredible weapon.
But just what that weapon was, no one knew.
Vereesa had been able to see the preliminary design for the Obsidian Warship.
That actually made her the person closest to the truth.
Studying the vessel in the preliminary design, Vereesa asked about it curiously.
"Second brother, this ship of yours looks amazing!
