Omake. Cracked cards.
Sitting in your workshop you looked at what you had recently acquired. To be honest, you were incredibly proud of your purchase and only regretted that you had not been able to make something like that yourself. In front of you on the table was an umbrella. The most ordinary umbrella. At least at first glance. In fact it was a folding sword with a sheath in the form of an umbrella and a clever mechanism of retrieving, as well as with the ability to shoot its tip at the end by pressing one of the buttons, disguised as an umbrella opening mechanism.
This purchase has cost you no less than 1000 dollars. Yes it is expensive, but that is the price of goods at the forge of various items like swords and other items of the pre-industrial era. Why would anyone buy such things and how did you even find something like that? Oddly enough, there are many people who as a hobby choose to play knights and warriors, to gather in a crowd, to show off their costumes, and then converge on the battlefield imitating ancient or simply fictional battles. Such people were called "rolevikami" and private forges use their modern tools to make an imitation of a real or fictional weapons and armor are for private orders pretty good profit. Here and ordered one of these weapons for themselves in addition to paying for it did not become "dumb" before the sale.
However, you originally ordered a cane with an extraction mechanism from the sheath, not a full-fledged umbrella, and the reason for that was quite serious. First, you did not want to expose yourself with such a purchase and the opportunity to open. It is one thing when you buy a cane sword that given the fact that you kind of learn how to fight Yumi with that particular weapon, it can be explained, but if the newly appeared villain has that particular weapon, it is not hard to put two and two together. That's why you ordered a sword cane without any ornaments. The only distinguishing feature was the extraction mechanism in the form of several indispensable buttons on it. One for the "awl" to come out of its upper part and one so that the sword itself could be extracted.
Once it came to you you set to work to change both the appearance of the handle by adding a few decorative things, as well as adding the mechanism of the umbrella itself and connecting it to the retractable "awl" mechanism. Considering that you have never done this kind of work it was a challenge for you to overcome which nevertheless the internet helped you. After that there was a routine in the form of installation of the umbrella itself, but before that you resorted to something that you were good at unlike various mechanical crafts - magic.
You have again resorted to amulets, namely by applying amulets on the strength of the umbrella itself by making of it a kind of shield in the open state, and when assembled it could well be used as a crowbar. Adding various embroidery on top in the form of pink embroidery on a white background and got a very nice accessory, which could well be mistaken for an umbrella from the sun, which used to be used by various ladies in England and France. Perhaps the only thing that gave it away as a weapon was its considerable weight. All these mechanisms and the sword itself weighed quite a bit.
The mechanism itself was quite simple: one click of the button and the umbrella opens becoming a shield, the second click and out comes the "stalk" of the sword, the third click and the umbrella is folded, the click on the button below and the sword is removed from its sheath. Everything was very simple.
After your upgrades, it became a formidable weapon and you couldn't wait to try it out.
- Just wait a little Puppy Patrol, soon you will experience the full power of the PUPPETEER. - you muttered quietly opening it with a quiet click, but solemnly looking at your new weapon and the smile never left your face. Folding the umbrella with a slight movement of your hand you danced your way to your den. This day really was amazing! After all, you just got a few extra trumps for the unexpected.
