Arafoo Otoko no Isekai Tsuuhan Seikatsu

Chapter 182 First Five-Year Plan

I modified my ship and headed for the Anis River, which runs through the country.

The main purpose was to capture the living slime, the material for the study, but there was also the need to visually identify the large wetlands where the Anis River actually flows.

When you actually see the great wetlands, you can see the view of the big river running around.

When I used this as a canal, I found it very difficult to go back in sailing boats.

It's difficult with the existing technology in the world, but what about motor propulsion using the core of the Golem?

The core motor works magically, or the torque is incredible.

If we have enough power to move the big saws in the mill, we should be able to spin the ship's screws.

Usually sail and use a core motor in difficult situations.

It seems like we can handle this, but first we need to build a small experimental ship and repeat the tests.

When Akira and I returned to Sakura, we used the captured slime to build a research facility on the cliff and start experimenting.

A facility is as simple as placing a container house as usual.

In that container house, Anemone is still reading today.

I was told that I would do a slime experiment, so I felt sick and nobody came near me.

First, cut the frozen slime into small pieces and place it in a plastic clear bug basket.

This individual had a magic stone about the size of a yen coin.

It seems that the longer I live, the larger the Magic Stone will be.

Nevertheless - I didn't expect to have slime in another world...

In the meantime, it seems like she eats everything with a snack, so breeding is easy.

Basically carnivorous, but they like protein. Maybe I'll eat some soybeans.

It seems to be alive even in the frozen state, so it moves as it is when thawed.

What a life force.

I brought a living monster this time - in this case, it's a little troublesome because my item BOX can't be used.

Since creatures do not enter the item BOX, I once again realized that getting used to this convenience can be difficult for ordinary people.

In a clear insect basket soaked in grass and water, place a fine slice and observe.

"Akira, is this really alive?

"Maybe..."

As he continued to observe, the melted slime began to move as it was.

Something transparent is crawling around in the transparent case.

"Awesome! Funny!

It's like a kid who's happy about adopting quacks for the first time - I think so myself.

From the side, my eyes must be sparkling.

Since it was cut out of the state of differentiation by a large individual, it seems that the part that is differentiated into other organs and the like takes a little time to move.

I can't just watch.

If I keep it, my affection shifts, but it's a monster.

Repeat the experiments such as poison used for extermination.

There is no change in oils. High concentrations of alcohol work, but are difficult to obtain in this world.

Even if I buy it at Shangri-La and spray it, I will need a lot of it.

It has the advantage of being less harmful than salt...

I will also try the poison.

Rodenticides and ethylene glycol also remained unchanged.

It worked when I tried the G exterminator.

His ingredients are pyrethroids - ingredients found in chrysanthemums.

Then you can plant chrysanthemums and use them for extermination.

Both chrysanthemum seeds and seedlings are sold to Shangri-La, and Kikudae plants are cheap because they increase as much as possible.

It could destroy the ecosystem of this world - as I talked to Akira before, Shangri-La is God's responsibility for using his abilities on me.

There is another good thing about chrysanthemums. Slime eats together, and if he eats a dead slime with an exterminator, he turns out to be dead too.

We can use it to exterminate them in chains.

I understand the ecology of the slime, so I left only one small one for disposal.

I decided to keep it as a pet.

If you don't lock up and feed too much, you won't get more.

Eat everything and keep it easy.

When you put insects in, you reach out and capture tentacles at considerable speed.

It's fun just to watch.

Looking at me like that, women other than Anemone are pulling the strings.

They say they don't understand the spiritual structure of keeping monsters.

It's just for research... but I don't think I understand.

Speaking of research, slime tasting continues, so eating a lot is fine.

I know I can eat it, but it seems difficult to serve it because my family doesn't understand it.

It'll only be me and Akira's knob.

Sambaku was interested as a ingredient, but decided to use only the fragrance made from slime.

It can be used for sweets, drinks, etc.

If you love the slime for peace of mind, you'll be dragged away and watched from the clifftop facility.

Only Akira from the same world understands my hobbies.

I give him a table and a chair, and when I buy him a beer, he goes out with my hobby.

"Was there no one in the Empire who had bugs or anything?

"He's not here. In this world, insects are all pests."

"Even though there are good bugs?

"That kind of research has not been done at all."

There are few insecticides and only insect repellent magic stones.

Because there is convenient magic, science does not develop.

"I just grabbed a beetle with a dragonfly and pulled it off."

Akira is drinking beer and laughing.

Item BOX does not contain creatures, but if it is a rare beetle sample, can it be purchased at Shangri-La?

I'd rather have a Dwarf knife bought than do that.

No one keeps insects - there are only a few examples of monsters.

To serve as a Summoner.

Still, there's no slime.

"Is there a cause?

"Unlike other monsters, I don't remember them at all."

Oh, I see.

Along with the fact that insects don't miss each other - they appear to be more intelligent than insects when they look at their behavior.

--One day I came back from the Anis River and enjoyed raising slime.

Mallow arrived on a black carriage from Daria.

Officials and agents of the Mallow Chamber of Commerce visit Hamada territory every day, but it's been a long time since Mallow has arrived.

"Mr. Mallow - No, it's been a long time. Ah ~ I'm not used to it."

"Haha, it's been a long time, Mr. Kenichi. Thank you very much."

I took care of him and called him Primura's father - I'm not used to it, but I'm noble, so I can't help it.

There is always someone else's eye.

Having a reciprocal conversation with me - even if I forgive it - only looks disrespectful to the Mallow Chamber of Commerce from the perspective of others.

That would involve the reputation of the Mallow Chamber of Commerce.

Talk to him at a table in front of a small house.

Drinks on the table. I made coffee, but Mallow made orange juice.

There is no mansion, and meeting in a place like this is like this collar.

Because of this, it seems that the border master is said to be a freak.

When I'm talking to you, Mallow looks good in blood and looks fine. Because health is the best.

Even though the business is going well, there are no ex-children who are sick.

"Yes, how's the bird communication going?

When I talked to Primura about the pigeon, he looked for a bird species that could be used immediately and put it into practice.

Bicycles have quickly become practical, and the Mallow Chamber of Commerce has great product development capabilities.

"Yes! It's faster than the Beast Express leg, so it's a great way to communicate between cities. I owe this to Kenchi."

I am a little worried about the certainty, but I can use the flying legs even if the important documents are a little late.

For example, when the road is blocked and you want backup, it will be valuable.

In fact, the bridge over the street fell and got stuck in trouble.

"What about the restoration of the bridge that fell on the street to King's Landing?

"It still looks like a makeshift bridge, but it looks like we can get through. Merchants are saying that with Kenichi's help, we can recover soon."

"I can't go to the other realm and make a big face. It will destroy the honor of other nobles."

"I want you to be more worried about the people than about the nobility. Oops, I didn't hear what you just said....."

"I understand. That's what I think."

Yes, I have to go to Daria.

I have work to do to get a house building, and I have to say hello to Count Asklepios, who is ruling the neighborhood of Daria.

"Did Count Asklepios say anything about Hamada territory?

"I'm sorry about the royal drunkenness..."

"No, no, ha-ha. - Well, that's right."

Suddenly, there was a border area where nothing happened, and Lilith, the royal family, was married, so I couldn't help saying that.

It seems to be known that Lilith is already married to the Border Territories.

People who don't have entertainment and love rumors can't leave such an interesting story behind.

I will tell Mallow about my project - a transportation project that uses rivers for canals.

There came Akira. I also serve coffee to Akira.

He would like to have a beer, but not in front of the guests.

"Oh, Mr. Mallow. Long time no see ~"

"This is Akira. Thank you very much for your help."

Mallow bowed with pekori.

His family is escorting Mallow's chamber of commerce, and he also works in transport on trucks that I borrowed from him.

It's fine now, but I need to switch to a way that doesn't use my abilities.

If the truck breaks, it can't be repaired, and even if it does, if anything happens to me, it will end up there.

That also requires new transport power.

"What? Anis River into the canal?!

"That's right. On the other side of this big lake, there's a passage through the Anis River."

"You think we can get through the Anis River?

"I went there with Akira to check it out."

"That's right, the slime was like a mountain, it was tough!

When I heard about the slime, Mallow's complexion changed.

"I hear that the great wetlands where the Anis River flows are the dwellings of the slime."

And I said, "Well, should I say the credit for the injury -- I developed a new slime avoidance."

"Do you want to avoid slimming? I've heard that magic stones and other boundaries have no effect on slime...."

"No, it's not magic stone. This is it..."

I removed the Golem core from the item BOX.

It's not connected like a ladder used on a ship, it's a single crucifix.

I had Anemone make it with a regular core.

"Hey, what's this?

"This is the core of the Golem, but I succeeded in using it to make a slime avoidance."

"Hmm! I'd love to see that with my own eyes...."

"It takes a living slime."

"That's right, we can't do that."

I asked Mallow to wait a little while and brought me the slime I kept from the lab on the cliff.

Show him the slime in the clear bug basket.

"Is this a slime?

"Yeah, you keep it for research."

Marlowe is also watching a slime moving around in a transparent box that seems interesting.

"And here's the core of the Magic Stone and Golem."

As the core approached the slime, it flew away to the other side.

If you take the core to escape, take it to the other side again.

"Okay, sure, the slime is running away!

"Paste this on the side of the ship to prevent slimming. I actually tried it and found this effect. Hey, Akira?"

"Oh, no doubt. They don't come near at all. Well, other monsters don't work, so I can't be alarmed."

"I see... but if you go back up the river, it's not a sailboat..."

I've been thinking about it.

I retrieved the ship's model from Item BOX.

A screw propeller with a Golem core motor attached.

"This is...."

"This is a magical model of a ship. My ship can only move me and Akira, but this one can move with magic stones even for ordinary people."

I brought water from the river to the plastic case and floated there.

"I'll put a magic stone in here..."

When I lifted the model and set a small bean-like magic stone on the ship, the screw went around.

When you put it in the water, a small ship runs out of the water.

"Whoa, whoa! Can't you sell this?!

Apparently Mallow wants to sell this as a ship toy.

"Yeah? Usually I have royal permission to use the golem, so I don't think selling it is a good idea. Since I am a frontier uncle, I am also allowed to use golem...."

"Well, that's true... this was also a golem."

He also seemed to know that the use of the Golem was permitted by the state.

"Normally, however, the permission is for a human type golem, and we should not have envisaged using the golem in this manner. Let's ask the castle....."

"Thank you very much"

Mallow put his hands on the table and lowered his head.

He must have stepped into a big business.

"This is called a core motor, but once it's available, you can move both the dry gine and the carriage?

"Oh, is that true?!

"But if you want a toy like this - if you try to move a big thing, you'll need a big magic stone."

"Ok, sure, when you become such a magic stone, you won't get it inside...."

"But maybe we can sell toys."

If you think about it, you can make a pump, but the magic stone problem is difficult.

"If we could make magic stones by hand, the world would turn upside-down - Akira, didn't you do such research in the Empire?

"Huh? Never heard of it? Magic stones were the only way to use magic - that's how it felt."

Is it impossible that you didn't build an empire in a magically advanced country...?

Call the maid and have Julius call.

In the meantime, I've been thinking about it for a while - I've come up with a good idea.

"Yes - why don't we farm the slime?

Huh?

What does Akira have to say? She has a face like that.

"How many more slimes do you have? I grow the slime in the box and take the magic stone."

"I don't think there's anything I can do....."

"We'll need to verify how much Magic Stone will grow up."

"I didn't know there were stories about cultivating monsters..."

Marlowe, who listened to my suggestion, is roaring with his arms around him.

"But if we succeed, we'll be able to steadily remove the Magic Stone. Unless we get it out of the box, it's less dangerous than any other monster."

"Hmm...."

There came Julius.

"Mr. Kenichi, do you want to see me?

"Oh, write to the castle."

"I understand."

The content is that there is a national permission to launch the humanoid golem, but does the use of the golem core require permission? --That's what it's about.

Together, we decided to send a model of a fan made by Carldon.

With the Golem Core, we were able to create something like this.

Ask them to go through the procedure of sending it quickly.

Julius, take me to King's Landing.

"Yes, sir."

While Julius and I were in the process, Mallow was staring at the ship's model.

"Uhm... Mr. Kenichi. Perhaps this combination of core motors and magic stones will change our lives.

Marlowe, who has a nose for profit, seems to have noticed the possibility.

"Hopefully. A steady supply of Magic Stones is also needed for this. Just because I want magic stones, every time I confront a monster, it's costly, and no matter how many lives I have, it's not enough."

"Perhaps - if the use of magic stones increases, the price will increase....."

"That's right. They also come out to buy up and raise the price. Maybe there's a Magic Stone Guild."

"Just like the guys who had the spices."

The spice syndicate in each city collapsed as soon as the Astrandian syndicate was destroyed and the free trade began.

Even if it takes a little time, it's only natural that it's cheaper to buy spices in Astrantia.

The Mallow Chamber of Commerce, backed by a nobleman named me, also started selling spices, so if we don't dispose of the inventory the Syndicate has early, the losses will increase.

Some merchants have already gone bankrupt.

Maybe I should be careful, because I might be hated too.

I'm sure it's dangerous, but I'm noble now. I don't think there's a merchant in the upper classes who sells fights at gunpoint...

Basically, the enemies of nobility are nobility. Merchants and aristocrats are not hostile, but if they are involved in bankruptcy, it is possible that they resent me.

Lilith came to the table.

Marlowe, how are you?

"This is this, Your Highness! I'm sorry I didn't say hello...."

"Good. I'm tired of the royal palace alone."

Lilith wasn't the only one who came.

"What do you mean? This kid's a merchant?

Cétela was with Lilith.

Still, this kid - well, from the elf's point of view, Mallow is probably young enough.

Lilith and Cetella were also on the table, so I served drinks and tea.

"Elf!? I heard from Primura that Elves are coming to the border territory....."

"We were talking about interactions and dealings with them."

"So, we can also deal with products from elves at the Mallow Chamber of Commerce....."

"No, I think the deal is trivial because they only produce the minimum they need."

"Really... that's a shame."

"There's an elf village in the middle of the waterway that leads to the Anis River."

"Hmm - persuading a difficult elf is really Kenichi."

Cétela, who was listening to us, seems to have a little disagreement.

"I wonder if we're that exclusive."

"You were attacked when I first met you?

"Yeah? Really? Men, right? They're scared!"

That's what Cétella says - the general idea seems to be that elves are exclusive.

"So you were telling the Mallow Chamber about the dragon coming out of the ashes?

"Lilith - I think there is a prospect that this will happen....."

"Many fears are right, Your Highness. From what I've heard, I expect a lot of difficulties, but I think it will be possible....."

"The biggest shop in the kingdom says, I wonder..."

Lilith is throwing tea into her mouth. You don't seem to believe much.

I took out the sketchbook from the item BOX and showed them a big development plan.

It's called a development plan, but it's just graffiti.

"In the waterway leading to the lake, only small boats can pass through, but eventually I hope we can clear the woods to the Anis River, lay the road, and build a port near the river."

"Dear Kenichi! If a large ship can go back so far, can it reach near King's Landing?

"I'm thinking about it too....."

"Wonderful! I'm on fire, too!

No... I lit it a little too much.

If his business soul goes on fire, he goes anywhere, even in the fire and water.

Whether on the battlefield or in the forest where the monsters are, they scream - such a man.

Don't let this get you mad at Primura.

"Funn, just listening doesn't sound sane..."

I don't give my reputation to Elves.

Maybe they don't understand that they've lived the same life for a thousand years and hate change.

Marlowe was also enthusiastic, so he decided to give me the money.

"Really?

"The secret to making money at the Mallow Chamber of Commerce -" The treasure is rolling in the path of nobody. "

"That's right....."

His determination is firm.

To do that, we need to find out if we can actually build and operate a small vessel using our technology.

The durability of core motors, slim-avoidant core junctions, and operating times will also be important.

The canal plan - little by little - was moving towards its realization.

"Akira, this is the channel that leads to the Anis River, but how big do you think a boat of this size will get through?

"Yes - the waterway wasn't so tortuous, so it was 60 feet long - I think it could go up to about 20 meters, but it wasn't wide."

"The width is like a little plaster from the ship I always use, and the length is about 20m...."

Well, that's the place.

There are no carpenters here who can make such a deep and authentic boat.

And the boat that came out of the estuary sails and runs the ocean - that is, the sailboat.

We need a carpenter to build a ship.

"Master Kenichi, the only way to build a ship is to go to Odamaki."

Marlowe speaks the place name he first heard.

"Odamaki? I've never heard of you. - The name of the city?

It's the southernmost coastal city in the kingdom.

In Mallow's story, it's a city of about 150,000 people.

It seems that it is the baron who is healing, but it seems that he is a strange man who has refused the Count for many years.

It seems to be the southern end of the kingdom with the least ties, and uses ships along the sea to trade with the Empire independently.

Even without the Kingdom's assistance for that purpose, it does not seem to be a problem at all, and it can be said that it is a small country.

It seems that the city is the most advanced in shipbuilding technology.

"Hee, is there such a city - I'd like to go..."

"Oh! Kenichi, are you going?

Akira is totally on board.

He is a man who has traveled all over the world in his former world.

For now, if there's anything interesting about it, I'll try it.

"I'd like to ask you to build a ship... so I can take Cardon, a core motor expert..."

We decided to plan an expedition.
