PART 1
Location: Ignihyde Dorm – Idia’s Room
Ortho: I can’t believe niisan accepted a request to fix a magical wheel that can’t move.
I thought you would say “I’m not a handyman shop”
Idia: Yeah. I did think of turning down Deuce-shi down when he asked me but.
…This is a good opportunity.
Fufu… Dyufufu. I wanted to take apart a magical wheel just once.
I wonder what parts are in these popular machines… Aah, I want to see them, I want to touch them! Just imagining it makes me all excited
Ortho: Niisan, you’re always so excited to study more about machines
Idia: …But I need an assistant. Ortho, do you think you can help me with it?
Ortho: Of course, I’m always happy to help you, niisan!
Idia: Thank you, so then let’s start.
Ortho: Um, let’s see, what Deuce Spade-san complaint about is… “it’s hard to start the engine”
Engine trouble, huh? That’s pretty common to vehicles but there are various reasons for it
Idia: Well, usually it’s the battery
I’ll start up the magical wheel, and you can check whether the battery is working properly
Ortho: Got it!
(Engine whirring sounds)
Idia: …Hmm, so it’s true. Somehow you can’t really start the engine. How is it over there, Ortho?
Ortho: The voltage is low. Even though Deuce Spade-san said he remembered to charge the battery.
Idia: I would like to know the movement of peripheral parts, and I’d also like to see more on how the battery is connected to the main body.
But with how the parts is arranged, I can’t look in to the machine’s depth… Ortho.
Ortho: I got it! I’ll use my fiber scope and you can check it on the monitor, right?
[ Starting up observatory fiber scope. Searching for abnormalities in the scanned item ]
Idia: Yes, yes. As expected of the latest scope. We can see through dark places and the details in things.
Ah! Stop the camera!
Ortho: Alright
Idia: The generator part deteriorated. This is the cause.
Alright, so we know the issue.
We should take out the generator and replace it.
Ortho: Ah, then can we use my small arm? While we have this chance, I want to use a part I’ve yet to use
Idia: Arm? Did I equip you with that?
Ortho: “Since I’m equipping you with fiber scope, I’ll give you a set arm to go with it.
Use your many arms well Ortho… It’d be cool. I definitely want to do this”
…That’s what you said, niisan.
Idia: Did I say that? Alright, then let’s use it
Ortho: Yes! [Starting up the small arm. Extracting the damaged parts]
Idia: Kufufu… Just in time for the analysis… No. Time to do the “maintenance”
Ortho, remove all the parts. I want to see each important part closely.
Ortho: Okay, leave it to me, niisan.
[Resetting complete. Extracting all parts. Preparing arrangement kit…]
(Smoother engine whirring sounds)
Ortho: …This time we managed to start it up just fine. And the voltage is no longer irregular.
Good job! You finished it so quickly. You’re amazing niisan.
Idia: You practically did everything. I’m helped by you being here, Ortho.
Ortho: Me? Then the niisan who created me is even more amazing!
How cutting-edge do you think this body is? You really are a genius, niisan.
Idia: But…
Ortho: Mm? Why do you look so stern?
Ah, is it because you’re shocked that you forgot that you equipped the small arm on me?
Idia: …Attaching so many functions on you, what was I doing?
Even though there’s no use attaching the most cutting-edge medical tools at this point in time…
Ortho: …Niisan?
Idia: After all… After all, speaking to the point, I’m…
Ortho: Niisan, you’re bad habits are coming out again.
…You think too much.
This body is convenient, and I do like it. I can do a lot of things human can’t do!
Idia: Ortho…
Ortho: I’ll make sure to use all the functions you gave me and show you, so don’t call it “useless” anymore, okay?
Idia: …I got it. I’ll do that.
PART 2
Location: Courtyard
Ortho: Deuce Spade-san was so happy that his magical wheel is fixed. Fufu, that’s good, that’s good
It would’ve been good for niisan to come with me to give it back to him, but I’ll make sure to tell niisan how happy he is when I get back to the dorm
Silver: …
Ortho: Mm, Silver-san? You’re crouching down alone. What are you doing?
Silver: You’re… the little brother of the Ignihyde dorm head?
Ortho: That’s right, I’m Ortho Shroud! You’re making a scary face, what happ… mm?
Your vital sign is messed up. Could it be you’re hurt somewhere?
Silver: …It can’t be helped since you found out. I’m a bit embarrassed by it but my horse went a little wild during horse riding club practice
The horse managed to calm down so it isn’t a big deal. But I twisted my ankle in the process.
Ortho: Then you should go to the infirmary right away
Silver: Riddle suggested the same thing and I went, but the teacher isn’t there
There’s a first aid kit at the dorm, so I thought I should get back there… But I’ve to walk there and get used to the pain
Ortho: That was is no good… Ah, hey. Show me your wound.
Silver: To you? But still…
Ortho: Don’t worry, my body has the latest medical tools
I’ve received permission from my older brother to be able to use it as I see fit. Don’t worry and rely on me!
Silver: I see. Well if you say that, then let me take you up on that
Ortho: Mm! So stay still for a bit “bio-scanning the target”
Silver: What are you doing?
Ortho: I’m scanning to make sure there’s nothing off with your bones! It’s pretty cursory, though.
Seems like it’s not broken anywhere. It’s a sprain.
Silver: I see. That’s good. So then…
Ortho: Ah, wait a minute. Where are you going?
Silver: If it’s a sprain I can just leave it as is. I always do that and it’s fine.
Ortho: There’s no need for you to hold back pain you know?
So that it doesn’t worsen, let me fix it up so the sprained part doesn’t move. It won’t take me a long with the 3D printer
SFX: Printing sounds
Silver: I don’t really understand it, but that’s a pretty amazing feature
Ortho: Ehehe, isn’t it? I’ll fix up the supporter I made with bandage…
Also there are some grazes on your hand. If it gets dirty it might get worse, so since we’re here let me handle it.
”Start washing of wounds. Set water pressure to low” …does it hurt?
Silver: Just an itch
Ortho: That’s good. Now just to put some disinfectant and we’re done
Silver: Disinfectant, absorbent cotton, gauze… You’re taking out a lot of medical tools
Ortho: I’ve all that’s needed for an emergency. My niisan installed it all on me.
Silver: I see. Idia-senpai is full of preparations.
Ortho: That’s right, my niisan is amazing.
…There we go, I treated your grazes. I’ve finished with your sprain too.
Silver: Sorry, I ended up troubling you. Thank you.
Ortho: No. Don’t worry about it. I’m good at fixing things
Silver: Fixing things?
Ortho: Yeah. We fixed a magical wheel earlier too.
Silver: I think the words “fixing things” doesn’t quite work with humans…
Ortho: …That’s true. With a human it shouldn’t be “fixing“ but “healing”
But it’s the same in fixing up a broken part!
Silver: I feel like it should be different but… Alright then
I’ll pay my debt back to you one day. So then….
Ortho: Wait!
Silver: Mm. …What’s wrong? Why are you pulling on my gym clothes?
Ortho: Since we’re here, let’s hold maintenance for the rest of you
Silver: I’m not hurting anywhere else other than my ankles. It’s fine.
Ortho: There might be other places that needs to be healed, you know?
There are some illnesses that should be dealt sooner rather than later, so it’s not too late
Silver: Don’t say something so unlucky out of nowhere
Ortho: …Besides, I promised niisan, that I’ll show him the use of this body
I still have lots of functions. Let me test it out!
Silver: This makes it sound like an experiment… Hey let go of my arm
Ugh!
This unexpected strength…!
Ortho: “Starting a full-body scan”
…I’ll fix whatever is wrong, so don’t worry!
Silver: I’m worrying… a lot
