Made in (Clad Dragon) Abyss
Stella the Clad Dragon Researcher
Full art:
Headgear:
Left: “Gear with traces of dragonsouls is that much more reliable! Expensive!! (￥)”
Right: “A culture where horn-looking things are cool”
TL note: The “traces” in the equipment are written as a pun on “traces” (痕跡, konseki), replacing the first kanji with the homonym 魂 (soul).
Headgear details:
Top left: “Clear viewing even at long distances”
Top right: “A good-quality purchase bought with her first paycheck”
Right: “Pulls”
Material:
“Scales from a chameleon-family low-class dragon
Cheap item (weak)”
Gloves:
“Somewhat adhesive”
Shoes:
“Not pointed, round-ish”
Plates:
Top: “Plate colors”
Bottom: “The name and age are included, like a dogtag”
Shovel, front and top view:
Left: “Front”
Right: “Top”
Back view:
“Any tag is OK”
Side view:
“Also turns into an ice axe!”
Shovel ＜-＞ Seat
Left: “Shovel: Easy to understand/identify”
Right: “Seat: Lonesome silhouette”
Dragon transformation:
Top: *Stiffening*
Bottom left: “Faint glow”
Bottom right: *Hardening*
Stella: “Huh…? Huh…?”
Shannah the Clad Dragon Researcher
Full art:
Gear:
“She wanted them to match no matter what, so she splurged all the money she had to buy them”
Lower body gear:
“Materials from a bat-family low-class dragon
Super cheap!”
Bag:
Top: “Can fit lots of things”
Middle: “When folded, it becomes compact”
Bottom: “Membrane from bat-dragon”
Discount:
“Discount for buying the same-model set”
Ice axe and seat mode:
Top: “Seat”
Top-right: “If only it had a wooden plank…! (rare)”
Bottom: “Technically it also turns into an ice axe! (weak)”
Net:
Top left: “The net mode can only be used once a day (and that is why it is cheap)”
Red text in the middle: “Also [acts as a] spear”
Top right: “The energy core is still working, so it charges naturally (takes 1 day)”
Bottom right: “Freely extending! Energy line”
TL note: The core is “still alive”, which could be interpreted in the mechanical sense of “it is still working”, or in this theme’s setting, it may mean it is made of some organic material from the Clad Dragons or their surroundings, so it is literally “alive”.
Danger:
“Trembles when danger approaches”
Shannah: *Shivering*
Chuunibyou:
“My right and and right arm are trembling…
Could this be…the curse of the legendary dragon!?
…is what she used to say, until it actually happened to Stella, and it was no longer a laughing matter…
After that, she started wondering if she should take off her eye-patch and bandages”
Shannah: “Does it even make a difference if I take them off at this point…but, on the other hand…”
“Stella does not mind”
