Fushi no Kami: Rebuilding Civilization Starts With a Village

I read the report from the propulsion room, so I'll show my face to the lab next.

"I was in King's Landing, and this time I'm getting engaged."

Say hello to Reina, Director of the Institute, and Deputy Director of Hermes.

Yeah, congratulations.

"Oh, congratulations."

That was all.

As it is, we will move on to the reports we have accumulated in the absence.

So, isn't it too light?

"Um, isn't it natural for you to react a little bit more about your engagement? I was born into a poor house that starved to death if I succeeded?

This is the opposite of Micah's engagement to the Saccura family, which also has inheritance rights. I think you can hear screams and curses.

When asked so frankly, the director and deputy director, Combi, looked at each other and shrugged his shoulders.

"Everyone knew this was going to happen when I heard you two were going to King's Landing. How can you be surprised now?

"Don't worry, I feel really happy. We're supposed to celebrate together in the propulsion room. Now it's business time, so let's talk about work first."

Really...

Is this okay? When I ask Micah with my gaze, Micah hits me in the back.

I seem a little shy about why.

"So, this is a report, but the steam engine prototype is running smoothly."

"Oh, I'm glad to hear that."

After the development of new agricultural equipment in Ajol Village came to a halt, it was a research field that was put into full use.

It was necessary to improve the accuracy of machine tools and learn the principles of pistons and crankshafts in the previous stage of the internal combustion engine, so we decided to work on the steam engine.

One of the inmate craftsmen, Mr. Rockel, was fascinated by the charm of steam engines.

"As it stands, I've only made one that's big enough to pull a carriage."

"Serial multiplex engines. Design should be able to handle high pressure steam, but first operate with low output for a while."

That's right. If it explodes with high pressure steam, there will be a dead body.

"Still, twenty horses and thirty horses should give you enough horsepower. I'm trying to get him to pull the carriage."

"A carriage?

It's a remodeled carriage. I put the steering wheel on, even though it was a rush. "

Strangely stiff, I tilt my neck.

I was talking about using it for lathes and perforators first, but I was reaching out to the car first.

"What, a little playfulness?"

"Instead, I have a request from the Institute for a budget increase....."

I feel like I've been distracted by Reina Hermes' collaboration, but the budget problem is a big one.

"Since you got the sulfur, you've got more to study, right? Some of them are dangerous, so it's time for a dedicated lab outside."

"That's right. It started to explode a lot, and it's about time we needed something like that."

When Miss Reina and I are talking, Hermes nods because the steam engine is also quite dangerous. Even small palm-sized models explode quite a bit.

"In that case, I've earned a lot of extra research money in King's Landing, so I don't think it's a problem. For more information, Renge will allocate it after confirmation, but please prepare your application from now on."

"Okay. You've been rolling up a lot, haven't you?

It is bad to hear that it has been rolled up, etc.

When I presented the profits that I could offer, they just invested more than they thought.

"Reina, Reina. Can we get more budget in the meantime?

"Now, what do you think? Border areas are being developed and redeveloped in various places. No matter how much budget you have, it won't be enough. Someone is proposing to upgrade equipment such as agricultural equipment and kilns, or to pave roads in concrete."

I see, it's hard.

When Hermes sighs, Miss Reina holds her forehead down.

Oh, this is it. I can feel Miss Reina's sister's strength rising rapidly.

When I sent my gaze to Micah, my fiancé, who seemed to agree, looked at the interaction with a pleasant face.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm still the deputy director, so Hermes... You didn't say you couldn't get a budget, did you? It's hard to take, but I'll do whatever it takes."

That's all right, Miss Reina shrugs her shoulders. Suddenly a smile burst into bloom on Hermes' face.

"Really! It's a boulder, Raina!

"Yes, yes. Nothing will come out if I'm hungry."

You've already given me more than enough before I can cheer you up.

"Well, if the budget gets bigger, we can experiment with guns!

"Hold back a little bit. And before we proceed with the next experiment....."

"I know! Ah, Ash, I'll let you know the date of the steam locomotive test drive later, so make sure you check it out!

Hermes ran to his dreams with passion without waiting for my reply. Having dropped it off, Micah laughs at Lady Reina, who looks in trouble with the familiar wind.

Raina is in trouble too. Hermes, you're getting more and more pretentious. "

"Isn't that like each other? It's okay, it's not as difficult as Micah."

After Miss Reina glanced at me, she asked Micah to shake hands with respect.

"You did it. Congratulations."

"Yeah! Good luck, Raina!

I'm kind of having a conversation that doesn't bother me...
