The pending reward for Sabine-chans part-ti job of confirming the contents of the recording. Which was a bit concerning.
The reward seems to have been decided.
And the reward decided by Sabine-chan is
Eh? The sa type of carriage I have? (Mitsuha)
Im a princess. So, I too, sotis travel in a carriage because of my role as a princess or for personal use.
And now that I know how comfortable Oneesamas carriage is, no matter how good the royal carriage is, your carriage is way better overall, even more so than a regular carriage Do you think I can put up with this countrys carriage anymore? (Sabine)
Indeed (Mitsuha)
I know what Sabine-chan ans, as much as I hate saying it.
The shaking goes from my buttocks and to my organs when Im in this worlds carriage
Also, while I can endure it for 30 minutes or an hour, I have to continue to ride for several days, when I go long distances in a carriage
And aside from the royal capital, the roads on the highways are bumpy
Im not too fond of it either, so I had a customized carriage built on Earth.
Certainly, its much better than being asked for a car or so other high-tech product from Earth. Sabine-chan probably took that into consideration and chose Carriage with the intention of holding back. If its a carriage, its not a strange thing that stands out in this country
Even if it looks a little different, it is not so strange for a carriage specially made for a princess. My carriage has a slender and lovely appearance.
But there was a big problem with using that as a reward.
Thats because
Its expensive Its very expensive to make that thing. (Mitsuha)
Yes, its very expensive because it uses a lot of duralumin and titanium, and the suspension is reinforced to protect it from bows and arrows, and spears. The windows are third-generation bulletproof glass, made of multiple layers of glass and plastic materials.
A used car could cost several hundred thousand, but that carriage is more expensive
So its not good because the manufacturing cost is10 or 20 tis more than the price of a car (Sabine)
Yeah (Mitsuha)
Yeah, I guess Sabine-chan probably thought it was far cheaper than a car.
For Sabine-chan, cars are a product of super science, and my horse-drawn carriage is just a slightly evolved version of the ones they have in this country, or so she thinks
No, it doesnt
But on the downside, its certainly a good choice.
Except that its expensive
A regular off-the-shelf product with a solid suspension and no bulletproof features like mine would cost a few million yen
But as a reward for working all night for several days, its out of the question
Sabine-chan didnt seem to think it was that expensive either, so shes frozen.
As expected, this is impossible
Then, what if I pay the actual cost? (Sabine)
Eh (Mitsuha)
Tha-. Indeed, thats fine with .
A carriage would not distort the progress of civilization in this world, and no matter how expensive it is, if its a princesss carriage, it would be trivial in terms of the national budget. Even if it were made in this country, it would probably be a rip-off price anyway, with all the useless fancy decorations and stuff
Well, then, I guess thats possible Ill get an estimate of how much it would cost later, so if we can get the kings permission. (Mitsuha)
My first carriage cost a lot because of all the review etings, and the trial and error to add the new features, so a second one would cost less.
Yeah, I know! But I think its probably okay. If I explain Mitsuha-neesamas carriages defensive capabilities Also, the comfort of the ride.
Later, lets take him for a test ride in Oneesamas carriage! (Sabine)
Ah, yeah, thats fine and all, but (Mitsuha)
******
Approved!
After showing them the estimate, giving them a test drive, and explaining the performance and the equipnt, the King, the Pri Minister, and the Minister of Finance gave their approval all at once.
No, its fine though. They are going to pay all the actual costs, so theres no loss for , I just have to order from the place that made my carriage
Eh?
They also want to order a carriage for the king, a carriage for the pri minister, and a few more?
You want to give a diplomat who travels a lot a carriage that doesnt hurt your butt you say?
Well, thats good and all, but
Ill get a commission fee, right?
If it doesnt have bulletproof features, fancy decorations, or anything like that, thats going to cost them less, but if theyre going to make sothing rugged and large, its going to be priced accordingly.
How many bulletproof features, how big, how sturdy, how light, and how well it performs in various other ways?
These things need to be discussed in detail with the king and the others, and coordinate it with the manufacturer
But, well, its better because they didnt tell to send the camper Big Lorry
******
So, where is the actual item? (Man)
Eh? (Mitsuha)
This is the ho of a forr sailing ship engineer from a certain country on Earth, where Mitsuha has been asking many questions about building sailing ships.
The reason for their being acquainted was that Mitsuha happened to et a girl12 years old, who happened to be the girls grandfather and used to be involved in the construction of sailing ships Mitsuha asked her to tell him a story.
And the old engineer, who was completely taken with the exotic-looking girl with a strong interest in sailboats and an unusual wealth of knowledge about their construction for a girl of her age, asking about making sailboats, The girl who was a friend of his granddaughter (in this country, she seed to be about the sa age as his granddaughter) he asked her questions over and over again, and she always answered them with a smile
Thats a question only soone whos actually tried to build sothing and it didnt work can answer! Spit it out!
Missy, you aint just asking a lot of questions out of curiosity!
Youre actually making one, arent you?.
Theres no country that is currently building sailing ships at the level of technology that you are talking about.
Even though the construction of large sailing ships is sothing of a pasti for rich countries, they all have a lot of engineers around my level.
And there are no shipyards that use little girls for shipbuilding and technical information gathering!
Wheres that ship youre building? Why dont you show it to this old man? Because Ill give you so proper advice
Its absolutely impossible for an amateur to make a decent ship.
Yes, where is it? Where are you secretly building it?
Is it so kind of secret shipyard underground on an isolated island in the South Sea? Huh? (Man)
Where is the undersea warship Gotengo!? (Mitsuha)
However, no matter how many actual samples were available, the construction of a large sailing ship without a professional shipbuilder was indeed impossible, and the project was at a standstill. Its not like the prototype small sailboat that was built for the purpose of learning technology. The prototype sailing ship also has a number of problems, notwithstanding its appearance.
Thats right, its about ti we seek the help of an expert.
There is also the issue of the canvas.
The canvas for the small prototype sailing vessel was purchased in the new continent via the Rephilia trade.
However, its too suspicious for a small start-up trading company with no connection to the shipbuilding industry to purchase canvases for a large sailing ship. They would be suspected of reselling the fabric to other countries and would be scrutinized in a lot of ways.
And not only new ships are needed, but also for Eras, which has lost all its sails, and for replacent sails of the other captured ships.
Besides, I was going to use the sails of the first dostically produced large sailing ship from the earth.
Sailboats are all about the sails after all.
Therefore, we want to compensate for the inferiority of the ships manufacturing technology with the performance of the sails.
But Mitsuha had no connections to such industries.
So Mitsuha thought, this forr sailing ship engineer might have contacts with those manufacturers.
