Chapter 294

Chapter 294. Completion of trade ships (2) Unlike other ships, our iron ships do not have sails.

“Isn’t that why you can’t use the wind?”

Come to think of it, all the ships here use the wind to sail.

Other than that, there are oars, but I rarely use them.

It is not used unless the sail is damaged.

But that wire does not have that sail.

okay. That's a good question, Seina.

That is the charming point of my iron wire.

“I don’t need a sail.”

“I don’t need a sail.”

Aken and I boasted boastfully at almost the same timing.

“Then, could it be that they are rowing out?”

“That's a terrible idea in a sense.”

It was at this moment that the ship of my dreams turned into a terrible slave ship.

Could I have built such a cruel ship?

Such a ship is not smart, so I will decline first.

“In the case of that iron ship, the principle of navigation is different from that of a sailboat.”

It's inefficient to use wind as power in the first place.

First of all, the weight is considerable because it is made entirely of titanium alloy.

“There is something other than wind that powers that ship.”

“Is it like that?”

“Well, you'll find out later.”

One hundred words are not enough.

As expected, seeing it for yourself is more relatable than explaining it.

Including Asha, who has been silently looking at me since a while ago.

Did he really have a boat accident in his previous life? I don't know why you're so scared

“Asha, it won’t sink if you don’t worry.”

“...Oh no?! Aren't you worried about anything?”

“They say a strong negative is a strong positive?”

In the first place, your attitude is so different from usual, isn't it?

As if she still had face, Asha deliberately smiled as if nothing had happened when I spoke to her.

“I am not worried about anything.”

“Are you okay?”

“yes?”

“Anyway, we’re going to board that boat together as a test in a little while.”

“Will it be fun?”

“Ahahahahahaha...

Asha’s complexion has gotten slightly worse.

Do you really hate it?

It was the moment when I realized that although I often see people who are afraid of heights, there are also people who are afraid of boats.

“Arel.”

“huh?”

“There must be some time to prepare for a while, right?”

Is riding a boat to him something that requires time to make up your own mind?

yes do it your way

Because there is still time.

And now it seemed that someone else had arrived.

Viscount Gernil, the original owner of this port city and the person who rented it to me.

“Unbelievable! Forgive me for being late.

It was none other than what I had to greet in advance..

He first apologized for coming later than me.

Even though he is a noble from a foreign country, is it something to be embarrassed about considering his position?

“I have nothing to apologize for. It's just that I came earlier than expected.”

Yes, the main character's basic knowledge is lateness, but I came too early.

Well, it wasn't like me.

One reason I came so soon.

It was because I wanted to see the completed ship as soon as possible.

After all, a huge mount made of steel is a man's romance.

If there's really nothing to do, I'll make it for you.

“Besides that, I too am very curious about this ship. I also wanted to see it with my own eyes.”

“I knew what it would be, but I said it.”

It was because the Mage Tower cooperated with the completion of the power source that made this ship move.

In particular, it is said that he directly concocted the formula to increase the safety of the mana engine.

In other words, it's an authorized certification by the owner of the mage tower, right?

Wouldn't it be possible to use it as a means of advertising later?

Actually, after receiving the finished product, I secretly opened the formula and examined it.

I was a little impressed by the fact that it was a fairly elaborate and simple safety technique.

I liked it because I could feel the traces of the magicians who changed quite a bit.

“Hmm... It seems that everyone who will come has arrived.”

Originally, the oldest brother had shown considerable interest in the construction of a new ship.

But he's busy with his official duties.

Where is the king going to leave the castle?

Do your job, my king.

For that reason he could not come.

“Then let’s try riding it soon.”

We decided to start the actual test drive.

Originally, it wouldn't make sense for someone like me to test drive one by one just because I made a few trade ships.

But no one is saying anything about it.

Because this ship is no ordinary trade ship.

“Well then? Let’s see this ship in full swing!”

* * *

Large iron wire driven by a horsepower engine.

Peser Sin Ho.

This gigantic steel wire with a displacement of 9.000 tons is different in basic common sense from the ships previously known here.

Its majesty with its huge size and beautiful body suitable for its weight is overwhelming even from a distance, but it is even more impressive when you ride it.

“Indeed.... When I actually got on it, it seemed that its great majesty was engraved even more. It is frightening.”

Viscount Gernil said something that I don't know if it was flattering or honest sentiment.

“For such a heavy body to float on the water... I understand the principle of how a boat floats, but it is surprising. It's definitely a different idea.”

Helmin looked over the boat and said something to himself, convincing himself.

Depending on the personality, the reaction will be different.

e.g. for example.

“?...Asha?”

Our escort knight swaying down there still unboarded.

“Asha! Come up quickly!”

As I looked down from the deck and shouted, Asha was still hesitant about something.

....why are you so afraid of ships?

Come to think of it, even when I came here two years ago, my first reaction when I saw the ship was that I was particularly afraid that it would sink.

For that matter, Asha has never been on a boat.

I mean it's weird

“If that doesn’t work, wait there!”

I don't like it, but I have no intention of forcibly dragging it up.

Dia and Seina are there, so Asha doesn't have to come up, right?

“Oh no! If I can't go up because of this, it's my... disgrace!”

....I think I've already shown all the figures for this year, Miss Asha Pernil?

I can't.

“Seina Dia.”

“yes.”

“Bring it.”

“All right.”

I had no choice but to ask two people to half-force Asha onto the deck.

Asha, who came up on the deck, was different than usual, looking anxious like an impala that had just started walking.

....I can't. If I keep watching, I will open my eyes to useless things.

“Ugh... how does something like this float on the water?”

“...Didn't I explain the principle?”

Why the hell does Asha hate pears so much?

At this point, it seemed that there was a reason.
