Continuity is the Father of Magical Power

Side: Dig

A month passed quickly when I brought out the necessary equipment, books, and notebooks that I had left in the village, and locked the village door.

After you arranged to carry the equipment, I decided to go to Nora's village after saying goodbye to Grandpa and Grandma.

Since I was born, there has never been a day when I didn't get along with my grandmothers, but I didn't think I'd seen them for another week, so I really felt like I'd been outside.

He also made me think that I was not in the village because of the beautiful scenery without fog that I could see from the car.

I didn't know that. "The sun is so dazzling that you can't look directly at it..."

"Look, I can see it." That's the village where we're based. "

Beyond that, Nora pointed out, a small digging hut was lined up, and there was a beautiful blue lake deep enough to spread beyond her eyes.

Ah, that's the sea?

“That's right, we're aiming to go that way.”

Well, do you want me to build that ship?

I was asked to build a ship with a magic engine.

After that, I read the notebooks, notes, and blueprints of the dwarf who hated the shipbuilding that died decades ago, but I learned that the shipbuilding is quite deep.

I'm sure you'll fail a lot, but it'll be fun to make something so difficult.

"Yes. Let's review the blueprints as soon as we get back?"

"Okay, I got it."

"Hey! Rose and Nora! Welcome back!!"

As I approached the village, a man ran and approached me.

That person... his skin is brown...

I used to read in a book that people's skin becomes black when it is exposed to the sun for a long time.

I thought it was a mistake when I read it, but I didn't know it was true...

"Auro! Oh, didn't your muscles get stuck while you weren't looking?"

"Every day, I went fishing with my dad and raised and lowered my nets!"

Ladies, the ladies are back!

When the car stopped, people gathered together like villagers.

And when I got out of the car, all their eyes were on me.

"Huh? I brought a man."

"Oh, that's pale."

I wonder if you're Nora's lover?

Maybe it's Rosé's daughter, huh? Kukuku

"I-It can't be..."

The man named Rosé, who was called Auro earlier, had an unbelievable face.

Maybe he likes Rosé?

"I'm not a lover." She's a dwarf, and she's been a scout in charge of shipbuilding technology. "

"Dwarf? Don't ask me that for the first time."

It's a race that's good at making things.

"Huh. Well, it's not a bad idea that you brought your daughter with you." Nice to meet you, kid. "

"Y-Yes... I, I, thank you very much."

I held out my hand to a man with a big body, and I was shaking my hand.

I'm going to crush my hand...

"Uncle, Dig is scared. Please be more gentle to her!"

No, I just greeted you normally.

"Fufufu. As usual, you sisters are interesting." I'm looking forward to it from now on. "

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I'm going to do a lot more amazing things!"

"Speaking of which, lass!" The merchants were delighted that the fish was selling at a high price again. "

“That's good. I'll ask the pedestrians how much they sold later.”

"Oh, do that. Thank you, young lady. Thanks to that, I'm sure I won't have to worry about getting hungry from this year.”

"That's mutual." I also made money thanks to my uncles. "

After greeting the villagers, they arrived at Nora's house on a hill, not far from the village.

This house is...... chicks. According to Nora, it was built with Nora's magic.

I've never known the magic of being able to build a house.

The outside world is full of things I don't know.

As soon as he entered the house, Rose spread out the blueprints of the ship on the living room desk.

Is this the blueprint for the ship?

"Yes, this is the limit of my head."

Um, no. I think it's amazing just thinking about this alone.

"Flattery is good." I know this is incomplete. "

I think I'm finally getting used to talking to Nora, but I still don't like talking to Rose.

Rose... it's hard to read your emotions from your expressions, and you're scared.

"Rose... what do you want to build this ship for?" I think the design will change depending on the number of people and the weight and speed of the luggage. "

Using the knowledge gained from the dead dwarves, I immediately questioned Rose.

"I want at least ten people to be able to sleep there."

Um, yeah.

I need accommodation that can sleep ten people...

“And once I've accomplished my first goal, I'm going to use it as a trading ship, so I need you to be able to load a lot of stuff.”

Space for loading cargo. If it's enough to trade... it's not enough.

"... All right. Sure enough, that's what you want... This blueprint is full of problems."

Is that so?

"Um, yeah. Can you give me a minute? No, I'll try to fix it as much as I can think of."

Then he ran the pen in silence.

To tell the truth, I was thinking about what kind of ship I would build in the past week after researching various things in advance.

That's why I was able to draw without worrying so much, and when I noticed, the blueprint was completed.

That said, it was just too focused and I forgot the time, and it had been half a day since I started drawing.

Good job. Is this the completion plan?

"I wonder?" Is everything all right? "

"... amazing. It's a beautiful blueprint."

"Oh, thank you."

I changed so little of the prototype that I got angry... "I was worried, but I was rather praised.

”But... this is huge.”

"No, I'm not satisfied after all..."

"Hmph, I want to save as much space as possible for the engine to become the heart of the ship." Besides, if we're going to send electricity to the ship, we're going to need a room to manage it. And I feel like the size of the ship is small enough to carry trade-like loads. ”

"I see..."

I tried desperately to explain my reasons, but Rose still didn't know what she was thinking.

"Of course. I'll try my best to build a small engine, but I need enough power to support the ship... I want you to forgive me for getting bigger."

"Never mind. Can you write more of the material you need on the paper?"

"Okay, I got it."

I roughly calculated the material I thought I would need and wrote it on paper.

"Wow... I need it so much." It seems impossible to gather Rosé alone in the boulder. "

Nora says that we will need a lot of iron to build this ship.

I can't imagine how many Iron Golems I have to hunt to get this much.

"Don't worry. It's not that hard if you have a goal."

"That's not the amount, is it?" Don't worry, I have money I made from selling fish, so let's use the money to solve the ingredients that I think I can do something about it. ”

Okay, okay, okay.

Side: Nora

The day after Dig made the blueprints, Rose left.

No matter what I said, if I didn't do it quickly, there would be no gathering, and I could only stop for one night.

Well then, I'll go.

Say hello! Before you leave the village, let's go to Auro's place ~

"... I know."

Rose left the house with a slightly unpleasant look on her face.

Damn it, let's make Auro feel better. If you think you're finally back, you won't be back for a while.

Well then, let's build your workshop!

After Rosé's farewell, we went out to create Dig's workshop.

Turning a little toward the village, I saw a figure like Rosé talking to the villagers.

Ah, it's definitely Auro who just fell off his knee.

"I, are we alone?" No machines, no golems. I-I can't afford to build a workshop with two kids. "

"Fufufu. You can do that. Hey, how big is the workshop?" You can basically write a line on the ground. "

"Oh, are you serious!?"

"It's good because it's good. Think you've been fooled and obey. Dig wants to develop an engine right away, doesn't he?"

"That's right, I want to do it..."

"If so, draw the line quickly."

"I-I got it..." My workshop was about this big... but to develop a magic engine, I need to equip the machine... Do I need to double it? Put that machine here... put that here... my work space is enough... "

Somehow, when I began to draw the line, it became serious, and I began to draw the floor plan of the workshop while muttering to myself.

After that, it seemed like I could draw a satisfactory workshop map.

"I-I think it's about this much"

Okay. Now get out of the line.

Um, yeah.

"Also, take out the ingredients..."

Don't hesitate to remove the wood and stone from the bag that Rosé left behind.

"T-That bag..."

"Fufufu. It's a magic bag, isn't it?"

"No, I've never seen such a magic tool!" What kind of magic cube array is depicted? "

"This is not a magic tool." Well, it's faster to show them than to explain. That's it! ”

It was a hassle to explain, so I decided to demonstrate.

After finishing the ingredients properly, I finally placed the best magic stone I had in my pocket and activated the creation magic.

Soon, a splendid workshop was completed.

Yeah. I guess it's not a bad design, though, am I?

"Huh? Huh? Yeah!?"

"Ahaha, that's really funny Dig's reaction." It was worth the effort, wasn't it? "

"This... how did you do it?" What kind of magic? It's not a basic attribute, is it? How much magic power do you need? You used magic stones, didn't you? Does it make any sense? "

Hey, let's just calm down a bit.

I managed to tear off Dig, who was approaching with tremendous force.

When it comes to making things, people change.

"Fufufu. I'm glad you let me go in this state, but I can't explain it all at once."

"I-I 'm sorry..."

"Very well, then, I will explain in turn." First of all, this is called creation magic. "

"Creating magic? It's the first magic I've heard."

"I guess so. I've never seen anyone use anything other than my father and mother."

Rumor has it there's another one available, but I haven't met him yet.

"I can use Nora's fathers and her mother."

"That's right. My dad is particularly amazing. You saw the splendid walls when you left your father's city, didn't you?"

“Well, yeah, it didn't look like anything that people built.”

"I guess so. Because it was created by your father through magic."

Besides, he was younger than I am now. I think my father's magic power is a monster.

"Oh, that's right..."

Creation magic is a magic that uses a lot of magic to create things that you imagine.

"A lot of magic power... How much magic power do you use?"

That's a lot. Just building it would have used the magic of both of us.

”Is that so? Is your body... okay?”

Don't worry, it's impossible to deplete your magic power this much.

Rosé and Neria are no match for me, but they're the third most magical of my brothers.

"Oh, that's right..." Why did you mix magic stones with building materials? ”

Yeah. By mixing magic stones, you can give your creation a special ability.

Is that bag capable of that ability?

I'm glad you understand.

That's right, this is a sack of creation magic.

Well then, does this workshop have any abilities?

“Yes, I tried to keep you from getting hurt in here.”

"Ah, thank you..."

"You don't have to worry about it." Well, then, let's build it inside! "

I was so embarrassed that I was thanked because it turned bright red that I quickly decided to go into the workshop.

You can't even talk to me properly anymore.
