Survival in Another World With My Master

"I mean, you want me to be free?

That's what I said.

The next day, I was visiting Isla. That said, it's not just the two of us, this is Isla's workplace. In other words, it is the Arihiburg branch of the R&D department.

Incidentally, Six of the Monkey Clan is not here. This is because the former front-line hub - now called the central hub - has become the head of the R&D headquarters. She's working day and night with her daughters over there. I'll send you dozens of Stamina Persistent Healing pills next time.

We invaded the territory of the former Melinist kingdom well in advance of the original plan, so the base we built in the Omit Great Wilderness turned quite backwards.

Arihiburg is the front line, but it takes more than 10 days on foot from Arihiburg to the Omit Great Wilderness and three to four days by carriage. It is also a five-day walk from there to the central hub, and a two-day walk to the main hub behind it, now called the rear hub.

Moreover, when you enter the Omit Wilderness, the carriage cannot make its original speed, so it becomes as fast as walking. Therefore, if you move normally from Arihibourg to the rear base, it will be ten days one way as soon as possible. Round trip is more than 20 days. It's far away. Thanks to the Golem transmitter, the information is almost ready to arrive.

Well, that doesn't matter now. It's important, but it's not what I need right now. The important thing for me right now is that I have nothing to do.

"The state of being able to rely on Koske is not healthy. Of course, there will still be a lot of occasions when I want to rely on the power of Koske, but this is not the time. It's also important to relax without doing anything."

"But if I don't do something, I can't calm down."

"Koske is too motivated to work."

"It's only natural to work from morning to night in the world I used to live in. I'm off once or twice a week."

It's like slave labor.

It's weird to say.

He works from morning to evening and sleeps like mud on holidays. Rather than working to live, it normalizes a situation where people live to work. That might give you some time off or before you go home to bed, but... no, let's not think about it. My heart hurts.

"But if there's nothing to do, there's something I can suggest."

"Well, what's that?

"This way."

Ira gets out of her chair and starts walking with tech. Yes, she is so small that when she sits on the chair, her feet are not on the floor. Cute.

It follows Isla as such. Are you interested? Other R&D departments will follow us. Incidentally, the R&D department in Arihibourg has sixteen subhuman and thirteen human, including Ira. The breakdown consists of four magicians, four alchemists, two pharmacists, three blacksmiths, one carver, and two carpenters.

"Is this a warehouse?

"Nh, yeah. There are a lot of materials for research here. Of course, there are materials that are demonized."

"A demonized material... oh, the Granted Workstation!

"Nh, I was worried too."

Sure, let's try it.

Check the recipe of the awarding workbench again.

Grant Workbench - Material: Mithrill × 5 Gems × 12 Magic Stone × 20 Magic Wood × 10 Magic Clay × 10 * Material is missing!

"Five mythrills, twelve jewels, twenty magic stones, ten wood, and ten clays."

"Nh, mythrills and jewels come out of the safe. Stone over there, wood over there, clay over there in the corner."

"Okay."

Store stone, wood, clay, etc. in the inventory where Isla was instructed to open the safe.

"Oh, it's gone."

"There really is no magic flow."

It's not Isla's magic, it's a miracle, a phenomenon that goes with it.

"Wonderful."

The new members of the R&D department who were watching the scene shout with surprise. Hahaha, no matter how many times you hear this hand react, don't get a little overwhelmed.

"I brought it."

"Oh, thank you. But are you okay? I think this is a good amount of money."

"Because it was originally mined in Caucasus."

Oh, I see.

A stockpile of materials that were released before they were kidnapped by Cubi. Maybe you arranged the magic materials in case I came back.

Thank you, Ira.

"Nh"

Ira dyed her cheeks thinly and smiled. I had no idea what to do with my head. Cute.

"It's good to stroke now, so I'll try it quickly."

Did you hate being treated like a child a little bit? Isla pumps her cheeks red and gets angry.

It's hard for Isla to live as cute as she is, but let's make the Grant Workstation quick to satisfy Isla's curiosity.

Remove the modified workbench from the inventory and place it on site to begin crafting the assigned workbench. The work takes... two hours!

It'll take two hours.

"Nhhh... I'm losing my nose."

After Isla opened her eyes, she looked sad. Yeah, I'm sorry, too.

"I have a question for you, too, okay? Not only Isla, but I want everyone to share their opinions."

"Nh, of course."

Yeah, that's fine.

"If there's anything I can do to help."

Now that you've all agreed, I'm going to leave the modified workbench here and head back to the R&D department's R&D room.

The development room is quite large. The workbenches are everywhere and there is a large table in the center for discussion. It looks like we can do a little work on this table.

I opened my mouth to make sure everyone was seated.

"Actually, I'm stretching."

"You're stretching...?

"Yeah, I can create a lot of new stuff with my ability to create items, but after all, the creep of my ability is the workbench. Improvements to the workbench can increase the amount of material that can be processed, make things more precise, or make the same thing faster."

"I see. That means we need to improve basic technology."

"It's not about the person's arm, it's about the equipment."

"I see, but isn't that difficult? The breakthrough in machining technology will not be possible overnight."

Isla and the craftsmen begin to have an argument. Yeah, yeah, I'm glad you understand.

"Somehow, I have guidelines. I think we're going to need some powerful external power."

"External power?

Ira leans her neck. The R&D artisans don't seem to be coming any closer.

"I want you to see this first. This is the initial workbench."

That said, I removed and installed the normal workbench before upgrading from the inventory. Basically, it is simple enough to have a tool box installed on a wooden workbench and a panacea for securing workpieces.

"And this is the improved workbench. It's a Level 2 workbench, to put it bluntly."

So the next thing I took out was an improved workbench with a foot-stamped lathe in addition to the elements that the workbench had. Creating an improved workbench dramatically shortened the processing time of various intermediate materials and items, greatly enhancing my craft capabilities.

"As you can see, the big difference between a workbench and an improved workbench is a lathe. Have you ever dealt with a blacksmith or a woodsmith?

"No, I don't think so. What kind of thing is this?

"Ah, I'm not that familiar either. I feel like it's my own thing."

Light, but explain what you can do with the lathe. In other words, this is to cut the material by securing it to the rotating table and pressing the blade against it. You just have to think that you can cut hard metals and make screws and barrels, or drill holes.

Bolt-action rifles have also been made in improved workbenches, so in fact, the improved workbench may contain not only lathes, but also milling machines and other processing machine elements.

"Hmm, I see. It's good for making a lot of the same stuff."

"It's not suitable for making swords or spears, but it seems to be valuable for making fine parts of magic equipment."

"Depending on how it's used, it looks like it could be used to polish gems."

The blacksmiths seemed quite interested in the lathe itself. The carver also seemed to be a jeweler, and he was as interesting as a blacksmith.

"I see the difference between workbenches. So, what does external power mean?

"Oh, you missed the point. As you can see, his current power is manpower. I'm not talking about manpower, I'm talking about magic."

"Do you go all the way with magic?

Ira leans her neck. Yeah, you can do it with your manpower, so you can't find out what it means to be a magical power source? The question is correct. But there's a good reason.

"Manpower really makes you uneven, doesn't it? You step too hard and too fast. Then there is unevenness in the rotation. In other words, there are variations in quality. What if we could use magic to turn the machine at a constant output?

"... can you make a lot of things of the same quality?

"That's what it is. Additionally, the variable output makes it easier to perform various machining operations, and it would be good if the force and timing of pressing the material against the cutting blade were constant."

"So you control the output with a golem core and process it with a golem arm?

Isla murmured with her neck tilted. The boulder is Isla, and she understands quickly.

"Yes, that's it. The final form would be great if you could build things from one to ten according to the data you've entered."

"Oh, come on, we're gonna lose our craftsmen."

The blacksmith makes a subtle expression. Yeah, I guess so.

"Actually, that's what I thought. In the world I lived in, machines like that were running automatically from morning to night, making a lot of stuff. Of course, there were amazing people in my world called craftsmen."

No matter how mechanized they were, there were craftsmen who made high-quality pieces. Very few.

"On the contrary, you can't survive without being really good at it... this guy is terrifying."

I see. My power is, to be honest, the power to sell fights directly to craftsmen in this world. But that's why I'm going to be careful how I shake my power. "

I don't want to get the craftsmen of this world lost on the streets.

"Some of the things created by the R&D department are strictly controlled and are strictly forbidden to take out because what Koske is involved in is dangerous in many ways. Besides, the lathe is already practically powered by magic and hydraulic power at the rear base. I think it would be easy to combine your research with Golem technology to create a variable output magical power source."

"Well, can I have it made? I'm here to help."

Leave it to me.

Ira nods with a cock. All right, if this works, we can upgrade the workbench. Wait for the Grant Workstation to finish… Can you upgrade the Forge? Using Golem technology, I don't think you're going to be able to... I'll talk to Isla about this again.
