「Look, that guy with colored glasses over there is “Hawk Eye” Fuldor. That middle aged woman with long trimmed hat over there is “Bug Summoner” Quest Ino. Is eldest brother trying to get us do some guerilla warfare here?」

「Ah, so they were manpower brother in law sent.」

「I’m sure they are. If I remember correctly, “Hawk Eye” was an adjutant, and “Bug Summoner” was a second lieutenant. Both of them are soldiers who made a name for themselves on the northern front. There were fortresses on the northern front that were so long you wouldn’t be able to see the end…….」

I half listened to Laura-san’s explanation as I prepared the reagents.

No matter what mage or part time mage student is here, their purpose is the same.

I trust that blonde brother-in-law of mine in a certain vector.

At least until the completion of the super behemoth beast type magic construct, he will protect my safety in any way he can.

「Ah, Laura-san, please get the spec sheet over there.」

「Hnn? Okay」

Laura-san picked up the spec sheet on the edge of the table, glanced at the contents, and knitted her eyebrows.

On the opened up page, there was a magic circle that had been broken up so much that it was almost unformed.

「Is this…..a magic circle? Or a scribble?」

「Ah, no, that’s just the way it is. That’s the construction method we’ll use.」

「I’ve done a lot of research before I was assigned here but I’ve never seen a magic circle like this before.」

「I haven’t even published any of my research about that after all.」

I explain to Laura-san, who has a curious look on her face, pointing to the ten-meter-deep dock in front of her.

「How do you think we can make the clock tower class beast type magic construct with that deep of a refining tank?」

「Just make it like usual? Can’t it?」

「That’s simply impossible. It needs to be five times deeper than that.」

「Then, why aren’t you asking them to dig up some more?」

「That hole alone took so much time, it wasn’t practical. That’s where the magic circle I just disassembled into pieces comes in handy.」

My explanation may have deepened Laura-san’s doubts. She looks like she doesn’t believe me.

「In other words, that is a magic circle for building the body of the magic construct step by step. First, make the head, then the shoulders, then the abdomen, and so on until one magic construct is created.」

「That doesn’t make sense to me……」

「For example, if we compare it to a building, you’re going to start building the roof and as you lift it up, you’re going to assemble the lower part of the building.」

Laura-san’s face became more and more dubious as she wondered if I had explained it wrong.

Well there are no skyscrapers in this world yet so it’s not surprising that the concept of T-UP method, in which the lower floors are constructed by jacking up the building and lifting it up as it is built, does not exist.

It is inevitable but perhaps a proper explanation should have been given in advance using mockups.

「…..so, how are you going to make that roof…..no, the magic circle that makes only the head and shoulders of a magic construct?」

「Eh? Isn’t it just a matter of breaking down the original elements as usual? Anyone can do that, right?」

「Hmmm, I don’t know about that……」

I noticed that Laura-san is knitting her forehead and holding her temples in a slightly different manner than before.

Presenting technology is difficult especially if it is a revolutionary new method in that world.

My presentation to Laura-san lasted well into the night…..and in the end she still couldn’t get it. I had no choice but to put together a thesis on the new construction method in writing before creating the magic construct.
