Chapter 168: Stern Tower Construction

When I came to, I was on my bed in my room in the mansion at the Sanctuary.

「Are you awake?」

「Y-yeah, were you by my side the entire time, Sophia? How long was I out?」

「One night. One night has passed since you created the ship with alchemy, and it is now morning.」

「I see. Then how is the ship? If my memory serves me right, I think I made a blue hull.」

I’m pretty sure that I lost consciousness after I inspected the completed blue hull.

「Do not worry. Golan-san also did an inspection, and it was made according to the blueprint.」

「I see, that’s a relief.」

I got up from the bed and stretched. My body is still a bit sluggish, but aside from that, there were no problems.

「I’m hungry.」

「Marnie and Maria are preparing it. Will you eat at the dining room? Or should it be brought here?」

「Let’s eat at the dining room.」

When I went to the dining room, everyone looked relieved. I felt guilty since I seem to have worried them a lot.

「Don’t overwork yourself, okay?」

「I was so worried.」

「Sorry, sorry. I’ve worried Akane and Lulu-chan too.」

I apologized to Akane who was already seated and Lulu-chan whose hands stopped serving.

「Takumi-sama, please take your seat quickly.」

「Are you fine with black tea, MasterHusband?」

「Yeah, Maria, Marnie, sorry for worrying you too.」

「Yeah, I’m counting on you. Undine-sama is rushing for the completion of the ship.」

「Is that so? Sorry about that, I even rested for 3 days.」

「What’cha ya sayin? You made a ship this enormous with alchemy, it would have taken us half a year, you know?」

They’d be able to make it in half a year......... Dwarves are amazing.

The stern tower construction is advancing at a quick pace with the Dwarves’ and Dryas’ help.

「The handling of the wood was done by the Elves, wasn’t it?」

「Yes, as we are woodworkers, we are pleased to be of help. Isn’t that right, Rosalie?」

「Yes, if our abilities can be useful to everyone, how can we not be glad, Vaudeville?」

The complex and delicate carvings on the stern tower were done by new residents of the Sanctuary, the spouses Rosalie and Vaudeville. In Yggurle Kingdom, they mainly did woodworking and carvings.

While being coached by Vaudeville-san and Rosalie-san, I also started sculpting the stern tower. Golan-san and the Dwarves have applied strengthening enchantments to the already durable Treant Wood.

Instead of window glass, the wings of a monster known as the Great Armored Dragonfly were used as windows and were given enchantments with Physical and Magic resistance.

Furniture like tables, sofas, and chairs, as well as interior designs like carpets and curtains were being made by Kaede and Maria.

With the help of the Dwarves and Elves, the stern tower was completed in 10 days.

In my spare time during the construction of the stern tower, I transmuted two shafts for the CPP screw and the Magic Turbine.

The bridge’s pilothouse is done. Afterwards, when I thought that the ship could go on its maiden voyage once we lay treant wood on the deck, build the ship’s hold, the large public bath, and guest cabins, I realized I forgot something important.

「We didn’t think of any weapons............」

We built a strong ship because sea monsters are gigantic and powerful, but I forgot to come up with the crucial weapons.
