Legacy of Forgotten Times 110 The Name

Instead of an armor, it looked more like a thin chain-mail aside from the wrist position where the muzzle of the flamethrower was located.

"So how is it?" Silfy asked with excitement. She got some help from her old man but this was still mostly her own work and she poured her sweat and tears onto it.

"It's even better than what I had hoped for. So how does it work?" Linri asked while caressing it. Suddenly he had the urge to go somewhere quiet and burn everything around. Even imagining the scene where he was covered by flames, looking extremely handsome. Actually, scratch that he was not immune to fire yet so he had to wait for his first evolution before that scene can become reality. Still, a man can hope, right?

"Hehe, glad you liked it! Anyway, the mechanism is pretty simple, you just have to apply some pressure on to the wrist area and it will pop out. I also made it from dragon steel and carbon fibre alloy so it's highly resistant to flames and can actually be used to defend. Also as a form of thanks, my dead inscribed some runes onto it. Meaning it's a piece of magic weapon. Still, though don't expect too much, this was just a freebie so my dad didn't really do his best. The only thing runes can do is just create a flame barrier, it might be useful against mortal weapons but in our circle, it can just block a hit or two. Well, the good thing is since the barrier carries the property of fire if someone attacks you up close, it can also burn them as well as defend. Oh, here are the prana batteries you asked for. There is already a charged one inside the gauntlet and here are two spares. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out a way to make it usable during fights so the only thing they are good for is used as spare batteries for your weapon. Turns out this was something people have researched before and as you might have guessed it was a failure. I think the only successful experiment was the Philosopher's stone but how can I replicate that? If I could I would already be ruling the world. Anyway, my dad just found the idea dumb If you ask him you could have just made it from a magic crystal and it would recharge itself by taking in the prana of the world" Silfy was speaking like a machine gun and didn't even give time for Linri to respond. Either she was too excited about this or she was normally like this, he was not exactly sure. There were a couple of times when he had interacted with her but in one of them, she was dead drunk and in the other one she completely ignored him.

"Okay, okay! I get it. Slow down and take a breath. You are going to pass out. Take a deep breath and calm down"

"Okay, I am going to shut up. Anyway, why don't you try it and see if it fits? I made it according to the measurements you gave me before but I still have to check if it fits perfectly"

"What do you mean? Here? Won't people get suspicious?" Silfy looked at him like he was an idiot.

"Of course here, you big oaf! We are in Akiba. No one would suspect anything and at best they would think that it was some kind of cosplay prop"

"Oh? Right, right, right right" So Linri took off his jacket. Compared to 2 months ago he was not so scrawny anymore. After his adventure in the jungle of Rundabar and his daily training with his after he had put on some weight and finally had muscles for the first time in both lives. Despite that, he still had a slender body. Most of his muscles were toned instead of buff thanks to his Kitsune heritage.

Linri put on the gauntlet... well at least he tried to. When it was up to his elbow joint it got stuck and he couldn't pull it up anymore.

"See! I was right! Anyway give it to me I will make some small adjustments." Then Silfy proceeded to take out some tools from her jacket. After tinkering with it for a while and loosening it she handed it back to him.

This time it fit better but instead, there were some loose parts. It did not affect his mobility but it felt weird. Once he said that Silfy adjusted it and finally, it fit perfectly. Once he put on his jacket it just looked like a dark red glove. Even if he did not wear any jacket he could still pass it off as some kind of as a fashion accessory. Yeah, maybe it would be hard but he still had a chance. Anyway, I guess he had to stay away from the cops from now on.

"So what are you going to name it?" asked Silfy puzzling him.

"Name what?"

"Your weapon silly!"

"Why do I need to name it? Isn't it just a piece of equipment?"

"Of course you have to name it! Every good weapon worth its weight has a name. And I am not going to let my precious baby be a piece of nameless equipment" If looks could kill Linri would be dead several times by now. She really took this meaningless thing seriously. Wasn't that just a weapon he was going to throw away down the line? I mean when he evolved what use would it have? The only reason he had it right now was to cover up for his own weakness. And to be honest he was more fond of guns.

"Ehm, flamethrower gauntlet?" So Linri just made a useless suggestion.

"No! It can't have such a lame name! Be serious!"

"If it's such an easy thing why don't you try it yourself"

"Haha, I knew you would say that. So how about Flames of Silfy?" Linri had a deadpan face.

"Narcissistic much?" Silfy wasn't embarrassed by his sarcasm.

"Okay, it's decided then from now on its name is Flames of Silfy"

"Wait, wait, wait! There is no way in hell that I am going to use a weapon with such a lame name!" Linri protested.

"If you have a better name, I am all ears" Silfy had a smug look on her face. Now, Linri felt like he had to get serious. He really didn't want to use a weapon named after someone else. I mean it would be alright if she was a famous blacksmith and already dead but right now she was just a newbie and still very much alive.

"Give me a second, I am thinking" Silfy didn't say anything and ordered a parfait. She was sure that he wouldn't be able to find a better name.

"How about Gauntlets of Nox?" Linri tried to copy the name of the person who designed it in the first place. At least it sounded somewhat cool? I mean it was still a name but at least it was an alias instead of a full name like gauntlets of John or something.

"Meh, still lame" Dammit it was really hard to please this little princess.

"Then what about Bracers of Nox MK I?"

"MK I? Isn't it already complete?" He had finally managed to pick her interest. Phew! He did not have to name it Flames of Silfy.

"Of course, as you said it is too weak to defend against our kind and only useful against mortals. So don't you think that we should upgrade it over time after some live testing? Think about it that would be so much fun right? And I would be the one giving you the ideas along with paying for the materials"

"Okay, what you said makes sense. You can name it Bracers of Nox MK I. I allow it"

"Thanks"

... Why did he thank her again? Wasn't this his weapon? Why did he need to get her permission for naming it? Linri couldn't help but feel like he was duped again. Wasn't he from the bloodline of the cunning and crafty Kitsune? How can he get deceived twice in the same day? Was his name even Linri? Was he even still alive?

"Oh yeah! By the way, do you know what this is?" Linri asked while pointing at the silver serpent bracelet on his right wrist.
