Of Arsha-chan's prosthetic limbs, the main one was the myoelectric prosthetic limb, which required a lot of work. First, the time it took to train. Forearm amputees could take up to 10 weeks of training to wear the prosthesis before they could move it to a certain degree. It apparently took about one to two years before you could move it at will and use it in your daily life—Well, I'm sure Arsha-chan would be able to master it much quicker, probably... Yeah, I know.
The expected lifespan of a myoelectric prosthesis was about 3 to 5 years. It seemed that with children, parts need to be replaced and adjusted frequently as they grew, but since Arsha-chan was likely past her growth stage, that should be fine...
The price was apparently at least 1.5 million yen, and ongoing maintenance would cost even more, but maybe that would be fine. It's not me, but the Marquis Vibolt family that would pay for that amount. It's only 60 gold coins. Maybe the Culvady family would even provide those. It might be a large sum for a commoner, but for a high-ranking noble to pay for the daughter's life, it would be a mere pittance.
Apparently, a single battery to power the myoelectric prosthesis could last almost a whole day. Apparently, it took more than eight hours to charge, but as long as they had plenty of spare batteries on hand and set up the solar panels, power storage, and control system, they should be able to handle it with just me checking on it every now and then. A spare prosthetic arm for work could also be kept in the charging room. If the charging was not keeping up, there were various solutions available, such as charging at my home in Japan. Plus, battery technology would likely advance in the future, making them even smaller and more powerful.
Probably no one would dare interfere. After all, this was a world where the goddess was believed to exist—Surely, no one would dare mess with something bestowed by the Goddess.
Let's give Arsha-chan a cool belt to attach the battery to. Maybe it would be better to say that it's not a gift from me, but from Sorority. In recognition of her achievement in risking her life to protect the other members...
In addition to batteries, it should also be able to attach self-defense alarms, anti-theft sprays, handy tools, and weapons to the belt.
Sabine-chan said that I was too biased towards Arsha-chan, but it was my mistake that caused an injury that should have been avoided, so it's only natural that I should feel responsible—And I could have lost an arm, too.
That time when I fought the wolves to save Colette-chan. If I stuck my left arm into the mother wolf's mouth, I might get bitten off, or I might get infected and rot later—Well, thanks to the auto-healing ability (minimal) that Thing bestowed upon me, I was able to make a full recovery...
But what if I hadn't been given the ability to heal automatically? And if I couldn't return to Earth. I think the probability of my left arm being damaged was quite high. So it's only natural that I would provide a special service to Arsha-chan. That was a vision of me that perhaps could have existed...
If I had lost my left arm at that time, would I have regretted it? ……no. If I lost it while trying to save Colette-chan, then I wouldn't have any regrets—But then I was just like Colette-chan and Arsha-chan! In that case, wouldn't it be convincing for me to say, "Self-sacrifice is no good"?
Birds of a feather. A wolf calls another wolf. Is that so…?
As for Arsha-chan, I would wait and see until her injury healed and her prosthetic arm was made. In the meantime, what I had to do was...
"Theresa-sama and Lastena-sama haven't been feeling well since then, aren't they?.……"
"That's not surprising. They both are people who care about the commoners, after all..."
"They caused a servant to sustain serious injuries that will last a lifetime. It's not something you can forget so easily, isn't it...?"
Yes. This is it, right…?
This day was the day of the SORORITI tea party, but—dark. It's dark around Theresa-chan and Lastena-chan...
Of course, I didn't measure the lux with a light meter. …It had a damp and dark atmosphere… It's that... kind of "gloomy and murky" feeling...
The reason why the two of them did what they did—that they felt they had to give something back in return for the trouble they caused everyone—had not been resolved at all. On the contrary, they ended up seriously injuring a servant—Yes, what had happened was that a member of Sorority had seriously injured a commoner, causing her to lose an arm.
Of course, they felt sorry for the injured servant, but they also felt sorry that the first rumor about Sorority, a club that had only just been founded and had yet to achieve any results, was that it was a bad reputation as a "Play club for aristocrats that seriously injured a commoner." Well, that must be a bit tough for a young lady who had been raised in a pure environment, protected from the malice of others.
I was also deeply involved in the incident, so I was one of the parties involved. That's why it's hard for me to encourage them—So, here it was...
"Sabine-chan, please!" (Mitsuha)
"Whoa! Ane-sama, that's an unreasonable request!" (Sabine)
Yeah, I know. But there's no one else suitable!
There was no one else like this genius little devil who is smart and eloquent, knows all the circumstances, and had the status to be properly listened to by two high-ranking nobles—Even for Beatrice-chan, this was a heavy burden...
"I entrusted it to you! You have!" (Mitsuha)
"...I-I-Have...Wha-aat?" (Colette)
Okay! I've confirmed what I've heard from Colette-chan about the ceremony to temporarily transfer the lordship of the Yamano Viscounty. So, I knew if I said that, she would respond reflexively! Ahahaha!
"That's not fair, Ane-sama..." (Sabine)
Sabine-chan looked troubled, but I was sure she'd be able to encourage them in the best way!—In return, I guess the "points" I owed would increase again…
Well, there's nothing I could do about it. This was a necessary expense.
If it's to protect the smile of a cute girl, please go easy on Sabine-chan's selfishness... I beg of you, please...
