I’m a little dumbfounded but let’s just give her what she wants.

Mince even ate the disaster takikomi gohan last time saying it was delicious.

「What are you eating, Pickles～? Ah, master! Thanks for your hard work!」

「smells good～」

「What’s that? A stew?」

It seems like the other girls came by when they saw Pickles.

The front of the stall suddenly became more colorful as more ladies came by.

「Master～Give me some too～!」

「I should be fine around a third of what Pickles has….」

「alright」

When a crowd of young ladies gather like this, men are bound to come by.

A steady stream of people began to gather around the stall.

「Hey Pickles～What are you eating～?」

「I haven’t seen you in a while, Kenyon. This is a dish master made. It’s called Hayashi rice ～」

「Hou! That looks delicious. I guess I’ll have a light meal too and not just drink sake.」

「Sawadi-san, one of each of us!」

「Yes yes」

I serve Hayashi rice to all the drunks who are Pickles’ friends.

「Sawadi-sama, this is delicious!」

「It’s a little sour but it’s good.」

「This won’t go well with sake.」

However, neither of the women nor the old men pay any attention to the presence of rice in the dish.

Do they think it’s a new kind of pressed wheat or glutinous wheat?

Well, with the recent success of growing super-cultivated rice, it’s no longer so valuable but if I have to say something to them, “It’s still precious, you know!”.

I hope I can continue to educate people about rice dishes like this.

In the end, the Hayashi rice stall was a great success.

Everything was gone by the time the boxing tournament started and I was personally very satisfied with the result…..

Though I did not anticipate that Hayashi rice will be very popular in Torquiva even though it no longer has “rice” in it in the future.

No matter how difficult the task is, there is always an end as long as the goal is placed.

No matter how far away a place is, as long as it is connected to the ground, you will get there eventually if you keep walking.

Even if it is something that no one has made before, if you keep making it, one day it will be completed.

That’s the way it is, that’s the way it is.

However, even knowing this…..the 100 meter tall, clock tower class Arachne beast type magic construct, which is absolutely out of this world and has finally been completed by my very own hand, is still something hard to believe.

In an area full of short buildings, the tall, almost neck breaking structure must have been visible even from the neighboring cities of Torkus and Ruefuma.

Its shiny exoskeleton, reflecting the sunlight, is as unnatural as its origin and must stand out in any natural setting.

Whether you think it’s cool or creepy is up to you but for me, I think it’s a giant robot and I honestly think it’s cool.

However, to the people of this world, it would look like a mutated super behemoth.

So, as not to cause unnecessary confusion, her(Arachne) back and chest had the very obvious emblems of Kraunia.

And while the army officials were seated at the inspection table on a raised platform away from her, the startup experiment of the clock tower class beast type magic construct began.

In a temporary pilot’s seat built a few meters away from the observation platform sat myself, Professor Marino, and my wife’s elder brother, Major General Alex Slayra.

The pilot’s seat, which was full of levers, was connected to a long cable extending from the clock tower class, making it look very analog.

「Then, begin the start up experiment.」

「Understood, Major General Slayra. Sawadi-kun, let’s begin.」

「Affirmative. Is the route safe?」

『Associate Professor Slayra, we have finished clearing out the personnel around and in front of the clock tower class.』

I asked on the microphone at hand and the student in charge of safety checks around the clock tower class responded.

This communication system is a primitive wired line, based on the broadcasting system of Schenker Street.

「Magic crystal supply, turn it on.」

「Supply is on!」

「Supply on」
