Arc 19: With Preparations, There is No Need to Worry
Chapter 147: Train Project and Gathering Raw Materials
「Uuwaaaa ! Amazing~ ！It really is flying !」
「Nee~nee~, Heika! Magic !? Is it magic! ?」
「It isn’t magic. This is dynamic power... Basically, it’s flying with power of the wind.」
Even so, this is different from an authentic one. While pulling the string in my hand, the kite is then smoothly made to rise. The children are looking at kite rising in the skies with sparkling eyes.
Eventually, I hand over the kite to one person and make other kites one by one for the other children who are looking with envy.
Everyone imdiately starts to manipulate the kites skillfully when I teach them the trick how to raise it.
While they were doing it, I searched for the figure of Alba-san, the rchant who might seem to appear before I knew it, but I didn’t find him. Well, there is surely no way he will suddenly appear all the ti.
I sit in the shade of a tree while being careful not to entangle the string. It’s a spot separated from the town, so I won’t hinder people even if raise my kite too.
It is really peaceful. It would be good if every day continued to be carefree like this, and yet.
Rosetta and Monica are fixing the broken black knight since they have rejected my opinion that it would be okay to convert the whole fra into a new article.
It looks like the mobility and the magic reaction speed will rise if I continue using the sa fra. It will then seem possible to port the experience data that will pile up at the ti we transfer it into a new type of machine sowhere in the future.
Though from the looks of it, the transfer of data will probably take a whole week. In the anwhile, the mass production done by [Workshop] will stop, and if this happens every ti I break a Fra Gear, it will take an unbearable ti. Repairing it in a usual way is by far easier.
Well, it’s all the sa though. I also can’t just easily destroy Fra Gear.
I guess it’s like destroying a ga machine every ti it starts up.
Every ti a replacent for a ga machine is bought, the ga will always start at the initial starting point. Even if the mory is extracted and inserted into a new ga machine, it won’t start up for a whole week, I suppose.
You know, If I had a skill that allows to nd the failure, I would nd it myself. The only problem is, I don’t have this skill. This then leads to leaving it to others. If soone orders others to [Fix it] each ti it breaks down, surely people will get quite angry.
Despite this, it would be nice to make a distribution copy similar to a ga mory.
Rosetta’s reason seems to be that she herself very much doesn’t want to swap mory as a matter of fact. When I asked “Why?”, she returned quite an incomprehensible reply stating that “Even if you shift the brains of a trained swordsman into a poor magician’s body, he won’t beco a first-class swordsman”. It doesn’t look like it’s entirely pointless since he will have the [experience] of a superior swordsman.
When the mory is changed, it won’t necessarily be the sa old machine that has been used until now even if the said machine is the sa type as previous one. It will probably take so ti to get used to the new machine.
That reminds of an old comic that I read where there was an adversary who changed bodies. But because that character did not take advantage of getting used to the (new) body, he ended up being defeated since he could not draw out the full power of the new body.(Airs: he is talking about Deu in Jojo Adventure)
「If anything, the balance must be important, I guess」
Pilot’s experience, fra’s experience. It’s similar to a ga, and when you know how many levels you have risen or sothing, it still surely feels comfortable.
I wonder if there’s a magic or sothing that allows soone to see those paraters. Sothing that convenient probably doesn’t exist. That’s the extent of the world of gas. If sothing like that exists, I will totally doubt the existence of this world itself.
As I have thought, the bottleneck is due to the small amount of repair staff, I guess..... If it’s sohow changed, then we should be able to conduct sham battles or sothing and acquire experience.
When I tried asking Rosetta’s group whether sothing can be done in any way, there seem to be mini-sized autonomous golems that can do the repairs automatically. Furthermore, their amount looks impressive.
「Since they exist, doesn’t this resolve the problem？ So, where are they?」
「「Warehouse」」
「Unuu！」
She is overdoing the safekeeping of everything and anything, don’t you agree?..... That professor surely didn’t appear to be so thodical.
When I was absentmindedly thinking such a hopeless thing, I heard a voice calling out for from sowhere.
「Touya-sa~n！」
「Touya-sama！」
「Yumina? Also, Rue ?」
As I rise up, those two clung to from both sides while I am clapping the dust off my trousers.
At this mont, these two officially beca my fiancees. They randomly co sticking to as a result of no longer having to hesitate anymore since our relationship has beco publicly recognized. Honestly, I feel shy, but I allow them to keep doing that without being able to tell them to separate from too.
「When I was thinking where you went off to, I was able to see that thing. I then believed that you must definitely be here ~wa」
Rue points to the kite rising and flying high in the skies. I see. The one who has made that thing is only soone like , I guess.
「You leaving us alone and going off to play with children is not good. Touya-san should value his wives more」
(TL: it is not explicitly said whether she refers to herself or all his brides, so... )
「You are not my wives yet, but......」
「That’s the plan for us to soon be those, you know？To beco a happily married couple with Touya-sama, like branches of entwined trees.... Ara? Isn’t that situation a bit different, I wonder? 」
(TL: unless ‘連理の枝’ is an idiom coming from old korean movie (Now and Forever), I have no guesses here)
Well, it might be so. Both wings and branches are nurous. When I bitterly smile at Rue who is tilting her head, a rchant party cos by from the opposite side bringing along several coaches.
The line of coaches crosses by before our eyes in succession and advance towards the direction of Belfast.
The rchants riding on coaches were looking at kites raised up by the children in wonder. I guess this is not good. The kites will be seized by a business similar to Alba-san’s because of this. It will have to be.
「That’s a rchant party from Regulus. Look, the guard-soldiers are following them from behind」
「Even so, there are a lot of them. They might be carrying sothing.」
The cargo is probably expensive like a high-class furniture or works of art for there to be guards. I guess this sort of transportation for general goods is difficult. Though there won’t be problems for soone like who has [Gate]. As I’ve thought, I would be able to earn if I made a service like an express delivery company and used [Gate], though only being able to service the places I had been to would be the limit.
It will be convenient if there is sothing like a truck since lots of things can be transported at once. Well, in that case, the freight train would be....
「Train......？」
「Touya-san？」
Train.... The train! Won’t it be considerably convenient even if it’s only pulling along the railway? In the case of sothing like a steam locomotive, won’t Rosetta be able to make it if I request her... No, will the train be hazardous if it’s present in this world?
Soone who doesn’t know anything about the railway might jump into it. There is also a possibility that train robbers will appear. The rails might also be destroyed if stones or anything similar are placed into the railways.
U~n, when I think about those issues one by one, I can’t do anything about them. I absolutely have to think about [Safety] by all ans, though I say it at this late hour after creating sothing like Fra Gear.
Muu. I guess the train project I hit upon will be halted. Then.....
「Ouch-ouch-ouch！」
「......What other matters are you thinking about? You are leaving us alone.」
While I was concentrating on my thoughts, Yumina pinched on my flank even though there was no need to pinch .
《Lord, can you hear ？》
《Yes? Kohaku？》
While I was rubbing the pinched side, telepathic communication arrived. Because I stopped my movents, Yumina puffed out her face with “Puu” thinking whether I was brooding over sothing again, but I showed with gestures that it was different.
「What’s wrong？ Did sothing happen?」
In order to show the two people that I am receiving a telepathic communication, I raise my voice to reply on purpose.
《Master, this is Rosetta. The orichalcum used in the mass production of the Fra Gears is exhausted, so I would like it replenished, but.....》
I heard Rosetta’s voice through Kohaku. Orichalcum, that is. You say that the amount obtained from Alba-san is already used up completely. It can’t be helped. I guess I will have to obtain it sowhere else.
「Understood. I will prepare sothing on my side」
《Thank you》
「What has happend？」
After I cut the telepathic communication, Rue asked this because I was thinking about sothing mysteriously.
「It is a request from Rosetta for orichalcum. Now then, I wonder where can we obtain it... 」
「I think if we go to places that sell ore, so can be sold to us. But that amount probably won’t be enough, right?」
「Orichalcum is a rare tal to acquire. The price will also be considerable」
It’s possible to buy it though. I have obtained the money collected from Behemoth extermination the other day. But, when thinking about the future, I would like to save it. Though there is also so mithril remaining. Ah.
「Does sothing like an Orichalcum golem exist？」
I tried asking the two people while thinking that it might be possible to collect orichalcum at once if fellows like the Mithril Golems existed.
「Orichalcum golems？ I haven’t heard of those......」
「I as well. Even if those existed, I also have a feeling it might not be amusing though」
U~n. So such a convenient thing doesn’t exist?
Just in case, should I call out the map and try looking it up, I wonder. Though I have never seen one, if sothing called Orichalcum golem exists, it must be a golem whose whole body is built with gilded orichalcum. One might understand it at glance.
「Search. Orichalcum golem」
『Searching..... Finished』
The pins fall down with “Sutototo” on the map that has been displayed.
「......They properly exist, all-right」
「They do ~nee......」
Unexpectedly, The pins drop and we are surprised for a mont. The world is probably vast. If you look good enough, it is full of places where humans don’t seem likely to live like high mountains or deep valleys. I wonder if they inhabit the places where they are likely not to be seen.
「Let see. Shall I go hunt one then? 」
「Ah, then, we also.....」
「No, I will go there by myself. Since it’s a place where I haven’t been to yet, I will go there by using [Fly]」
When they hear [Fly], both of them keep silent. Do they dislike it that much?
First of all, I send the two people to castle with [Gate] and open the map once more.
「N~, Is there a place which I have been to on so occasion close to this place.... Ishen, I guess」
They (tl: Golems) are within the mountains a little to the west from Oedo in Ishen. Though Ishen resembles the Japanese archipelago in so ways, I wonder if there is a Mountain Fuji there.
If that’s the place, I apparently might be able to fly from Oedo easily. Okay, I should go.
I wonder if I should eventually create a gilded Fra Gear or sothing when I obtain a large amount of orichalcum. Could it be sothing like a golden knight? That sounds gaudy.
