Vorpal Rabbit and Fortress Uncle

Episode 585: "In the Seat Facing the Sea"

The western part of the sea was opened up, and the second reclaimed area, the Honosawake Archipelago, was discovered.

The new heaven and earth revealed finally boiled the investigators, and immediately after the failure of the < White Boat Over the Waves >, the fortunes of the reclamation that had been hanging over them rose again.

In addition, Wadatumi announced the [Undersea High-speed Transportation Network Layout Plan] and held a technical competition for the project.

Many major production bands, including the Damascus Association and Prometheus Industries, as well as a large number of producers from all over the world participated in the event.

That's why it seems that the construction of the underwater tunnel has begun in earnest today.

While walking through the commercial district of [Wadatsumi], Letty turns her cheerful expression here.

With the discovery of the second reclamation area, the vibrancy of the town has also reached its peak.

Sales of unattended sales stalls in the market have also been strong in the past few days, and it is impossible to keep up without replenishing products twice or three times a day.

It's an underwater tunnel. Can you get past that storm or herd of squid?

I don't know much about the construction field because it's out of my league, but it's a big project that Wadatsumi directly oversees using technology developed by a professional on the road who bothered his head.

I think I could have started the construction because I had a good idea.

The exterior of the tunnel seems to be multi-layer armor made of the new high-quality refined black and white blue 622 alloy, so it can't be scratched by a single native organism.

"Is it a fine refined metal?" I think it was a new metal that was discovered recently. "

I remember seeing the wiki update history or something a while ago.

More pure than the usual refined metal, it brings out more of the properties of the metal itself.

Black steel is a metal with a pure hardness that is used as a foundation for many weapons. White steel is soft and flexible, and blue steel is resistant to water erosion and rust.

Premium refined black and white blue 622 alloys are synthesized at a ratio of 6 to 2 to 2.

In other words, the armor is so soft and water-resistant that it's stiff.

I see.

Collect the sales from the unattended outlet and replenish the product from the wooden box that was shipped to Letty.

Originally, I wanted to do it alone, but I couldn't carry it in one go because my strength was too low.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to help you."

"It's okay."... this is also practically a date. "

What?

Kamil was turned down today because she couldn't get her hands on the T-1 maid, so she rushed to let Letty help her, but she seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Did something good happen?

Anyway, if you can build an underground tunnel, [Oshima of Hanamon] will be able to travel back and forth safely and quickly.

"However, the fine refined metal, isn't it a considerable cost when it comes to alloys?" Even in pure quantities, it's going to be quite a lot. "

Lettie's chest swelled with anticipation, but for me, there was still a bit of anxiety.

Freshly developed, high-quality refined metals require a blast furnace capable of producing an exclusively high temperature, which is another very costly alternative.

There are few bands in the workshop, and the supply of several high-performance blast furnaces in the town's rented workshop is limited.

In addition, the use of high-quality refined metals is not limited to underground tunnels.

Exploitation is gaining momentum with the discovery of new heaven and earth, and the demand for more high-quality, high-performance weapons and armor is likely to increase.

[Amazumara] and [Homsubi] seem to be busy with miners again.

"There's something there, too, and every time there's progress in reclamation, it's profitable."

Metallic materials are an important resource to support reclamation efforts.

Even if they were to make their way to the sea, the underground resource collection base that could collect them efficiently would be in high demand.

"Alright, the product has been replenished." Do you want to rest somewhere? "

Letty calls out to me to thank me for my work.

Is that okay!?

Once the [Oshima of Hanamon] begins to be exploited in earnest, we won't be able to slow down.

Even today, other members will gather to go to Oshima.

Seed 02 - Wadakumi The construction of the seed 02 - Wadakumi parallel to the construction of the underwater tunnel, we have been asked by Wadakumi to help us.

I did it! Well, there's something I wanted to go to before.

After Letty shakes her ears happily, I walk around the city.

The sea breeze blowing through the sea cooled the burning cheeks in the dazzling sunshine.

People look at the stalls lining the market and sometimes laugh with their friends over snacks.

After all, [Wadazumi] has grown in number.

“Well, it looks like there's been a steady increase in new users since the service started.”

Although it may be one of the reasons that it is the front line of the assault, I heard that the population density is also increasing in [Sakao] and [Kiyo].

Purely, the number of pods emitted from the reclaimed command ship Amateur Terrace is increasing.

"Come on, Letty."

"Yes? Yes, yes!?"

When I offered her my hand, Letty tilted her neck for a moment and then shouted out loud in amazement.

The surrounding players turned their attention to what was happening, but peace soon returned.

T-This means I can hold your hand, right?

"That's right... but, look, you don't have to get lost."

I've lost sight of it, and I know where the party members are now, but it's no trouble getting crowded.

During the festival, I walked while being pulled by my niece.

Well then... excuse me.

I don't know what I'm so embarrassed about right now, but Letty grabs my hand and picks up a little of the sleeves of my clothes.

"Um......"

I'll take care of this, please.

Where's the good news from before? Lettie's ears bent when she suddenly turned dull.

If that's what she is, is this it?

... after all, would it be resistant to hold hands with an old man like me?

"No, if you don't want it, that's fine."

For a moment, the word "harassment" passed through my head, and I called out in a panic.

Letty raised her ear in surprise and shook her head to the side.

"That's not true!" Hmm, I'm rather glad... no, I'm a little surprised that Ledge-san offered me her hand. "

"I see. I'm sorry, I feel like I'm dealing with my niece."

As I scratched my cheek, Letty raised her face.

His eyes are wide open, and he is immediately narrowed.

Lettie, what's going on?

"... no. That's right. I knew it, yes."

Letty let go as she nodded calmly.

That's how I grabbed my wrist like a shackle.

"Eh, hey, Mr. Letty?" Somehow, it's very powerful. "

"If you don't hold this firmly, you'll be cut off!"

Letty grabbed me and walked out with her big crotch.

As I almost rolled over, I could only follow it and twist my neck at the suddenly changed state of her.

"Look, we've arrived." This is Haiyan, a cafe and restaurant. "

Letty showed me a small, stylish shop overlooking the ocean, close to the harbor section.

A single-story wooden shop with a terrace, it has a bright and open atmosphere with large open windows that let in the breeze.

Why don't we sit on the terrace?

"I see.... is this place for pasta?"

A menu window automatically opens when you sit on a table covered in white cloth.

On the first page is a pasta made with seafood.

They also have dishes like curry, doria, and gratin, as well as drinks like coffee and original cocktails.

You can also play gentle music that matches the sunny sea, and it seems like a cozy coffee shop.

"Let's go, Lettie...!"

However, after a full look at the menu, I noticed a fact and spoke up unexpectedly.

Letty, who was also looking at the menu, raised her face in surprise.

What's the matter?

This shop doesn't have any specials!

Surprisingly, there are only large quantities in this store.

I can't find cooking sizes like the special assortment, the mega assortment, or the Ascension Pegasus mix assortment.

I asked Letty to guide me, but what is this all about?

"... do you think it's about Letty, Mr. Reggie?"

"A vigorous child who eats a lot, Kana"

Asked by Lettie, I answer with a frank impression.

It's true that the unit of eating a lot exceeds that of an adult, but well, if you look at the whole thing, it's like that.

"Ugh... well, that's fine." Even Letty sometimes eats calmly in places like this. ”

Is that so?

I'm still a little suspicious of the back menu theory, so I look into Letty's eyes.

She turned slightly red on her white cheek and turned to the sea.

"After all, you and Ledge can dine together." I'd like to enjoy this place even more..... "

I see?

You don't seem to understand it very well.

I was discouraged by Letty, who seemed to have become a carefree companion.

When she sighed deeply, she turned her attention back to the menu.

"Well then, let's make Letty a cream pasta with cherry tomatoes, cherry tomatoes and tobiko." I'll make the drink... seaside shine. ”

Seaside Shine?

"It looks like an original cocktail. Ah, it's non-alcoholic. It looks like a blue lemon squash."

"It's a mocktail." Well, there's a lot of things. "

There seems to be a lot of stylish drinks in this store.

In addition to Letty's Seaside Shine, there are a number of other drinks whose taste is unimaginable from the name.

After I got a little lost, I chose three kinds of shellfish pescatore and a drink called Blue Moon.

I didn't know much about drinks, but I wanted to venture a little more than just ordering my usual coffee.

Nice view, huh?

Letty, who finished the order, looks out at the ocean.

In the distance from the white sandy beach, there is a wharf with several boats stopping in front of it.

The blue sea shimmers white in the sunlight, and fishermen with threads line up at intervals.

Near this tranquil landscape, major work has already begun on a new landscape.

"I can see a lot more scenery."

This world is endlessly wide.

I replied as I watched her red hair flow in the sea breeze.
