Let's Manage The Tower
(8) Doll
Isnani came to the study aide, who was resting in a relaxing space.
"Kaosuke-san, are you okay now?
"Yeah? What's wrong?
I wasn't particularly asleep, so Kaiseki immediately wakes up and looks at Isnani.
"A little unusual... I brought something interesting."
"Huh? What kind of thing?
Interested in Isnani's words, Kaiseki sparked his eyes.
It is very unusual for her to say this in a way that does not involve an examiner.
Isnani, who smiled a little after seeing the Kaiseki reaction, gently took something out of the item box.
"... a doll?
"Yes, that's right. Of course, it's not just a doll. Do you know what it looks like?
Nh ~?
Asked by Isnani, he twisted his neck after receiving the doll.
And I immediately smiled with a faint smile.
"Wow, you made something really interesting."
"... have you understood already?"
In the words of the examiner, Isnani quickly found out what kind of doll he was, and Gacri and his neck fell off.
So Shreyne, who had listened to Kaosuke's conversation with Isnani, listened with interest.
"What is it? What kind of doll is that? Is this some kind of trick?
"Well, that's the thing. Wait a minute."
Kaiseki put the doll she was holding softly at the end of the table.
Then, when Kaiseki touched a part of the doll, the doll moved without making a sound.
"Oops!? What the hell is this? I've seen it somewhere."
Shreyn, who was watching the doll move, looked up at the ceiling trying to remember something.
Then you immediately remembered, hitting both hands with a pop.
"Ah! It's just like the golem Kowsky made before they officially built the maid golem."
"Well, that's the thing. It's just a little different."
"... what do you mean?
Shreyne leaned her neck to explain the exam.
Whatever it looked like, it looked just like it was moving, so Shreyne couldn't tell.
As he looked at Shrain and smiled a little, Kaiseki stopped the moving doll and began explaining.
"The first golem we made was packed with lots of stuff to make the maid golem that we are now. To exaggerate a bit, there were magical factions everywhere. However, this doll is made by reducing the number of magical teams and covering them with technology."
"... I don't understand."
"Oh, um... how did you explain it?
Above his head he said, "What?" With the mark still floating on her, Kaiseki twisted her neck for a while before beginning to explain.
The Golem that the examiners made in the early days was, quite simply, a mass of magic.
The movements of the hands, feet, and faces on the Golem, as well as the patterns of accepting orders, were controlled by those magical factions.
As a result, an incredibly large number of magical teams have been used up to the final stage of the Made Golem, which has become a substitute for those called magical team experts who are said to be incomprehensible.
In contrast, the doll that Isnani brought this time was made by the mechanism (technology), eliminating as much magic as possible.
This doll is closer to the tea carrying doll that Kaiseki knows about.
The fact that the number of magic teams is small makes it easier to maintain magic teams.
Of course, the maintenance of the mechanism will be necessary for that.
Having heard the explanation of the examiner, Shreyne nodded convincingly.
"In short, I hope this doll is powered by technology, not magic?
Well, I suppose that's what I'm saying.
To be precise, magic (magic circles) are also used, so it is not entirely technical, but Schlein's perception is largely correct.
In the first place, there is magical aid somewhere in this world, so there are few things that are entirely made of technology only.
Given that, Shreyne's perception would be correct.
Shreyn nodded at the words of the examiner, but leaned her neck.
"I understand that, but what was the funny thing that Kaiseki said?
I understood the difference, but all I could think of was what happened to it. Shreyne leaned her neck.
"First of all, it's simple, the wages are cheaper."
"Well, how long?
In a simple and clear answer, Shreyne looked curious.
"I don't know because I haven't looked inside properly, but specifically... what do you think? If demand increases and mass production starts, it'll be pretty cheap, won't it? To the extent that ordinary people can give gifts to their children once a year."
"It's not extreme again."
The Golem that the examiners first built should have been so expensive that wealthy families rather than ordinary people hesitated to buy it.
Compared to that, the difference between clouds and mud is fine.
Shreyn nodded impressively.
"It seems like there's not enough material for the magic team to make it simple."
The examiner turned his gaze towards Isnani.
I thought Isnani would know better from here on out.
"That's right. You're right. The producer said he wanted to make it from as common a material as possible."
I see. I think it's a good thing that Luca started having that kind of perspective. "
"What is it? Was it Luca who made this?"
Shreyn leaned her neck and Isnani laughed bitterly at the casual examination dialogue.
Isnani didn't say the name of the producer on purpose, but he seemed to expect it from the beginning.
Shreyn sighed with astonishment at the examiner who quickly identified the producer.
"How do I see it? I don't know who made it. It's not like it has a name on it."
"The habit of creating magical circles?
"No, because you don't even know when I ask you?
"Ha ha. No, it's hard to explain in words. I can only say that somehow."
The way Kaiseki discerns the habits of the creators of the magical team is not the wrong explanation, as it is largely due to feelings.
When asked who made it, the author who knows the name can guess, but it is difficult to explain even when asked why.
Most of the time, Schlein nodded without asking any more, imagining that it would also include power as a human god.
I see.... if that's good, what will the examiner do when he sees it?
"Yeah? Nothing. You can make this doll if you want to, or if you can't, you just lose it."
It was a lot lighter.
"Well, basically, tools are like that."
No matter how much you create you think this is a good thing, if there is no actual demand, you won't be able to make it anyway.
It could be called the fate of a new tool.
Of course, there are a lot of things in the world that are made solely out of producers' hobbies.
Anyway, Luca's doll is safe (?) It became obvious to the examiner.
However, I do not intend to do anything by myself.
If you dare, it will be enough to serve as a reference for the magic equipment you make.
I knew that a hundred times, and Isnani and Luca showed the doll to Kaiseki.
