Holding the Rail Rifle, Emi reviewed the results with her lips curved into a small, satisfied smile. She turned to look at her senpai, who gave an approving nod, her tiny arms crossed as if she were a master craftsman proud of her apprentice's success. Emi's confident demeanor softened for a moment as she messaged Ace through the status screen, [Master, the crafting process is complete. The Rail Rifle is ready.]
Ace replied almost immediately, [The toybox updated me already—Well done, Emi! That was quicker than I expected but just in time. My mom just texted me to return. Testing the Rail Rifle will have to wait. I will recall you guys for now.]
Emi's chest swelled slightly with pride at her master's praise. She turned back to Dame Wasp, her tone now filled with determination. "Senpai, we did it. It's not perfect, but it's a start."
