"So help me, Graemon"
"... Lord Ars, the name of the awkward is not Graemon, etc."
"I'm sorry. But we're going to build a new castle. I knew it would be best to ask Gran to make something."
"Oh, does Lord Ars appreciate that much about the awkward? Awkward, I'm so grateful."
"Well, I can't ask for anything but you."
"... besides the awkward? Why is that? There will be others with knowledge of architecture besides the awkward."
"That's the one with architectural skills. The castle I want to build this time is impossible for the others. For God's sake, you want to build an unusual castle that can't be beat by the archbishop in the form he deserves."
"Surely you will use stained glass made by Lord Ars with the Great Church? Making a castle that can't beat that sounds pretty tough, but do you have any ideas?
"Oh, I'm going to build a clock tower"
"The clock tower, is it?
"That's right. The same stained glass castle is already in Barca. I would only be able to make a change in size or so even if I wanted to make a difference with something similar. So make a difference in another way. I thought I'd set up a big clock tower in the castle for that."
"I see. So you brought the story to the awkward"
"Oh, yeah. Grand had just told me that progress had been made in making the clock. Are you going to be able to do it, what's the exact watch made of crystal and electromagnetic steel?
A castle that was to be newly built in the city of Fontana.
This castle should not lose at least to the newly planned cathedral as well.
But compared to the cathedral, which decided to rebuild and expand the city's exterior walls from now on, there are restrictions on usable land.
We need to build a castle by demonstrating the craftsmanship that does the space well, but that won't be enough.
Everyone wants to be amazed at the castle.
For that reason, my idea was to use the clock.
The idea is to set up a large clock tower in the castle so that anyone living in the city of Fontana can see the time.
Whatever it is, you might want to ring a bell that informs you of the time.
Having inflated such an image, I brought the story to Gran, the only one who seemed to be able to implement the idea.
He had asked Gran to make a watch by depositing a strange substance called Magic and Electric Steel, which he had obtained in the winter.
It's a clock that carves precise times like a quartz clock with crystals and electricity.
But you can stop being absolutely obsessed with the Quartz clock just because it's just a tricky technology.
If there was some accuracy, I thought a Zenmai-style watch would be fine.
But earlier than I was about to make such a compromise proposal, the report was coming up from Gran.
The design of watches made of crystal and electromagnetic steel has been approached.
... Is it true?
Sometimes I ask myself to do this, but I was wondering if the Quartz clock was a little too unscrupulous.
No matter how many grans, I was just reflecting on how impossible it would be to make something that high performance in a little bit.
"Pfft. Don't let the awkward look at you sweetly, Lord Ars."
"Even so, you didn't make the real thing yet, did you? Are you sure you can make it?
"Of course I am. I've done a lot of research since then. And you finally found it. Another ingredient needed to make the clock requested by Lord Ars."
"Another ingredient? Uh, you did say something about studying how Magnetic Steel was moving mud as a mud doll. Was it some interesting discovery in that relationship?
"... I couldn't use Magic Steel to move objects."
"Oh, yeah. I wish I could have done that."
"That's what the awkward wanted to achieve, too. But I couldn't. So I decided to find out if there was anything else I could use."
"Other material? I wonder what it is. Was there any unusual material that could be used to make the clock?
"The trigger was in the vibration, Lord Ars. It is the flow of electricity emanating from the Magnetic Steel into the crystal that creates a fine and regular vibration, but how do we use it to move the needle of the clock? It was solved by using materials with co-oscillating phenomena."
"Co-vibratory phenomenon? What's that?"
"I'm surprised to hear it. It's the corner of the Valkyrie, Lord Ars. The horns growing on Valkyrie's head had unusual properties. If you touch a crystal that vibrates against a corner of a Valkyrie that is processed into the exact same shape, the vibration is transmitted to another corner that is processed into the same shape that should not have touched the crystal. The awkward decided to call this a co-oscillation phenomenon."
What the hell?
Was there such a weird trait in the horn of the Valkyrie that I hatched from the eggs of the Servant Beast?
... Well, maybe it's not weird to have one.
Because Valkyrie has something called [sharing] as the inherent magic of being born and having.
Thanks to this [sharing], we share magic across the herd while being able to use the magic of Fontana and Barca, besides the first Valkyrie I named.
It would not be strange to have co-oscillating phenomena and doings.
Gran said he discovered this phenomenon and decided to apply it to watchmaking.
Simply put, electromagnetic steel is used to generate electricity to flush that electricity into the crystal.
The crystal then vibrates regularly.
At that time, they try to touch the crystals that vibrate the corners of the processed Valkyrie.
The corner of the Valkyrie, which senses the vibration of the crystal, vibrates another corner processed into the same shape by a co-vibratory phenomenon.
This is amazingly going to happen even if the distance is away.
They use this vibration to turn the gear on the parts of the clock.
The point, he said, is to process the shape of the corner used as a part into a shape that turns the gear efficiently by vibration.
They have the technology to process it into special shapes in order to control the vibration so that it is a power for moving the clock successfully.
However, at this stage, the finished form is visible for this machining.
All you have to do is actually move the gear and move the clock needle to make what I asked for.
No, you don't.
Gran will make more watches than I asked for.
Because the co-oscillating phenomenon is not a one-on-one relationship.
As long as it is machined to the same shape, multiple corners can receive the vibration of the crystal.
That means multiple corners make perfectly consistent movements.
It's even possible to create a gear spinning device at the same time without going crazy for a moment.
Thus, Gran created a technology that exceeded my expectations.
A new castle with a clock tower with complete control over all watches.
Using Grant's groundbreaking technology, the new castle was to be built as a "time-dominated castle" that never existed before.
