12-07 New Device

Jen explains the new automated doll (automata)/golem control theory.

"Hmm, I get the logic, but does it work that well?

Reinhardt has doubts,

"Jin, I can sympathize with your thoughts. If there's anything I can do, I can help."

Saki supported it.

Let us say that this is also the difference between Reinhardt, which is actually the side of production, and Saki, who thinks purely of theory alone.

I mean, Reinhardt knows how difficult it is to put theory into practice.

"Jin, I can understand your theory. But first, what about the reproduction of 'tactile'? I think that's where we start."

Reinhardt questioned, but Jen had a guess.

A small element called 'Strain Gauge'. One in a million strains can also be detected. Explanation of the principle is omitted, but it is an element that must be in machine control.

Jen was trying to recreate this with materials from this world.

If it can be reproduced, by attaching it to several parts of the body and detecting its strain, the pressure exerted on the body can be known. That is' tactile '.

Jen explained the principle of operation and added at the end:

"If only there were a material that bends or deforms so much that its magical properties change."

"Hmm, magical nature..."

Actually, Jen had one idea. It is the pterygoid membrane of a sea dragon. It is a material used as Reiko's skin.

However, it is not so common that it can only be used to improve Reiko.

"... there's one thing."

Saki said so and took one crystal out of the shelf.

It is a translucent crystal with a red inside and a green cross section around it. The image is watermelon.

"Uh, water melon tourmaline..."

Unexpectedly grumbling Jen. Once upon a time, the girl concerned wore a small pendant in that color.

"Water melon?

"Tourmaline?"

Saki and Reinhardt each reacted to another word. By the way, it was Reinhardt who reacted to Tourmaline.

"Uh, a water melon is a fruit or vegetable whose outer skin is green and the contents are red. Tourmaline is a stone... well, that's what I say."

"Hmm, is Jin a water melon about the sea lion? Speaking of which, it's time to plant the seedlings."

Saki talks about planting watermelon seedlings in the garden every year and harvesting and eating them in the summer.

Jen wanted to get it because it could be its seedlings or seeds. Of course, the will will will be passed on to Reiko, who will contact Old Master and be instructed in the fifth row (Quinta) newly dispatched to the Empire of Shouro.

gossip.

"This stone is called Elbyte. When you apply power, it's tiny, but it creates magic. Can't you use it well?

Jen also nods at Saki's explanation.

"Oh, well, then let's slice it thin and stick the misthrill line together"

Earlier Jen got Saki's understanding and sliced "Elbyte" with engineering magic.

"Uhm, it's still nice to have a magic engineer (Magi Engineer)! I can barely use magic myself, so thank you."

I can feel the magic, like analysis, Saki continued.

"All right, then Saki has that misthrill line for me. I sliced it on this side, and I'm going to add some strength to Elbyte."

"Okay, Jin."

A small piece of Elbyte that connects about a meter of misthrill wire. Jen put it on his palm and gently pressed it with his finger.

"What do you say?

"Mm-hmm. There's some magic on this side."

"Right! You're a success first!

At that stage, Reinhardt, who was just watching beside him in silence, also seemed impatient.

"Uhm, Jin, Saki! Let me help you too! Or I can't stand to just try to wrap my fingers around this moment when new technology is about to emerge!

After all, Reinhardt was also a magic engineer.

From then on, for about three people, experiments were repeated to change the thickness and size of the elbait to determine the optimal shape.

In the evening, a single "tactile sensor" was completed.

"Let's make an automatic doll (automata) with this. And I'm going to give Saki that first piece."

Jen and Reinhardt were of the same opinion. Saki can't dispute that either.

"Yeah, well, if you two will say so. Plus, there are a lot of things I'd like to try."

It was already dim outside when I realized, so that day would be over.

"Reiko, how much maple syrup did you make?

"Yes, Father, that's all."

About the seventh minute in a pan made by Jen. Is it more or less a litre?

"All right, let's pack that in a bottle half at a time"

That being said, Jen magically processed the crystals to make two bottles, and stuffed them with maple syrup.

It is quite an expensive bottle. The lid is also crystalline. Normally, it's not the kind of bottle to add ingredients to, but it's probably reasonable given the rarity of the contents (so far).

Needless to say, Reinhardt, Saki seems to have gotten used to Jen's out-of-standard appearance in one day today, too, and he didn't say anything.

"Then we'll take this one to Reinhardt's house."

"Oh, I like that. I need samples to talk to your father."

So Jen, Reiko, Reinhardt, and Saki rode Jen's carriage to Count Randall's residence.

"Welcome back, Reinhardt... ma?

At home, Berche came out to pick him up, but when he saw Saki, his complexion changed.

"Hey Berche, long time no see. Congratulations on your engagement to Reinhardt."

But Saki seemed as if she didn't care, and said such a greeting.

"... that"

"That?"

"... what are you doing dressed like that!?

Berche's voice that he was heartbroken.

"Blurry hair! Scabbing skin! Dirty clothes! Outfit!... and it stinks a little!

Berche, wasting Saki's outfit from top to bottom,

"Dear Reinhardt, you'll be hungry, but we'll have an hour!

That's what I said, I tried to drag Saki away and left the spot.

"Ha, because Berche has been with Saki for a long time, too. Saki's guy looks weak on Belche too."

That's what Reinhardt said and laughed when he dropped off those two backwards.

"Jin, it's going to take some time for Belche and Saki to get back, so why don't you come to my workshop?

This kind of invitation to content can't be a no to Jen.

Reinhardt's workshop was built in the courtyard of the hall. It is like a separation. Roofed and walled passages were provided to allow them to come and go without getting wet even in the rain.

"Oh, that's huge."

It is about twenty tatami tatami and quite large.

"You made the Black Knight here."

And Jen said, Reinhardt nodded loudly.

"Well, have a seat."

Reinhardt, who invited Jen to the table at the corner of the workshop, recommends the chair.

"I won't even bother you here."

Looks like we're going to talk about something important. Well, Reiko is with me.

"Think you should talk to Jin."

and preface, Reinhardt began to speak.

"Saki's mother, now dead, is the eldest daughter of the Marquis."

"Huh?"

All of a sudden I said something terrible.

"See, the marquis who referred to Elsa as his daughter-in-law, or Marquis Gaelen Theoderic von Eisen. Our western neighbor is the territory."

The eldest daughter and Saki's father became sympathetic, and the frying phrase that ran off, said that the daughter who was made was Saki.

"Let's also talk a little bit about the Marquis Theoderic.... somehow, the Marquis likes a little smaller women."

"What?"

Although difficult to explain, Reinhardt explained that the Marquis seemed to like a woman who was still immature enough to be a woman from a girl.

"So, he now has three, no, four children if you let Saki's mother in, all with her daughter. Seems sick that there are no boys to pick up. So, with his wife's death last year, he told his daughter-in-law he wanted Elsa, who had been eyeing him for a long time."

Seems like Reinhardt's been collecting a lot of information since he got back home, too.

"Right...... so, what about Saki's treatment?

"Oh, you missed the point. Now that Saki's father, Toa Eschenbach, has become the alchemy landlord who also contends for 1,2 in the country, he has shown no hostility to his peeves. It's because it leaves the neighboring territory intact."

"Well, well."

"But he's cute about Saki hitting his grandson, and he's trying to take it back to himself every now and then. But Saki refuses it and continues to live there."

A little lonely, Reinhardt laughed.

"If you confront the Marquis, you can't do much about the Count."

That's what feudal society is all about.

"If I could make an offer to the Marquis, it would be the Duke on top of it, or the Emperor's. 'Cause I'm not breaking the law, so I can't say it strongly. Whether you decide to marry Elsa or take Saki."

His Majesty the Emperor is not a dictator. I don't do things that ignore laws and customs, and I can't.

"Well, I know you're asking me this and Jin is annoying, but there may be something ahead, so try to keep it in mind.... I'm sorry."

Finally Reinhardt bowed his head.

The trouble is a lot of Jen already, but I liked Saki a lot, even though I just got to know her, so I laughed and told Reinhardt that it was nothing.
