Didn't finish it in time before I had to do something else for the weekend, sorry for the wait.

Kogasa set down the pair of orange tinted sunglasses, having finished the final touches.
The glasses seemed too big for the mistress of the mansion, but she had only been asked to repair them and not to resize them.
Moving her gaze back to her forge she saw the spade and pickaxe still there. They would definitely need something magical before she could return them to her client.
The first thing she had done was to awaken the tools as tsukumogami and inquired about how serious she had been about needing tools that could withstand even a dragons scales. Pick and Spade had answered that she had been very serious as what they were mining for was called the dragon gem.
After fixing the tools she had spent her time thinking of a solution while making the sandals for miss Waggy, who had already collected her item. Or rather she had sent the wolf girl to collect them as moving around in a giant tub of water was not terribly convenient.
Kagerou had been much more friendly this time around, even introducing herself by name. Probably because she wasn't hauling a giant pool of water around.

Snapping back from her thoughts Kogasa suddenly noticed a maid standing in front of her holding the pair of sunglasses.
"Very good work, I have brought you another order" the maid said curtly while setting down a packet she had been holding in her other hand.
"Ah! Oh, Thank you kindly" Kogasa quickly responded trying to hide her surprise and taking the packet she had been given.
"Inside are designs for an item miss Knowledge would like you to make and the needed materials to make it."
Opening the packet Kogasa found two halves of a cylinder made of metal, a curved piece of glass, a small lens and an eye piece. Under them was a design for some kind of a tube with the glass pieces inside it and the eye piece poking out the side.
"As for payment would you accept our newly printed Charisma Dollars? They will soon become the only way to trade in Gensokyo"
"Uuh, could I perhaps have a favor in return instead? I was looking for magical aid with another one of my orders and miss Knowledge might have what I need. Does she have any way to magically enhance tools so they could be as strong as dragon scales?"
The maid pondered this for a second before responding "I'm sure miss Knowledge has what you are looking for, but do you mind if I talk with her and we settle this after the her item is ready?"
"Sure, I'll have her stuff ready in a jiffy! By the way, are you sure you don't need me to adjust the size of those sunglasses? They seem to be a bit large for your mistress"
"Oh, these aren't for her use. It will go into our trophy room, but mistress had damaged them pretty badly when she acquired them."
With that the conversation was apparently over as the maid simply disappeared again.

Kogasa decided she might as well start this new order right away as it had provided almost all the materials she needed.
The designs only showed what the finished product should look like and strict instructions as to how the magical runes carved into each piece should align with each other.
From what Kogasa could gather it was a device made to look at the sky, but she didn't really get how it worked when all it had were a few pieces of glass inside of a tube.
First she would have to align and combine the two halves of the cylinder.
It seems that the item would have been easier to make with a cylinder that wasn't cut in half, but maybe that had something to do with the runes carved to the inside of both sides.
After placing the big curved piece of glass on the bottom and the eye piece into a hole on the side of the cylinder she would need to get working on a stand that could support the thing.
She decided that making the stand adjustable for standing or sitting would be a good addition.
And finally she needed to attach and adjust the small lens to the middle of the cylinder so it could be seen from the eye piece.
All in all a rather simple job for the payment she was getting for it and the sunglasses.

I would commission a sword and a shield so I could protect Kogasa from the evil shrine maiden.
