When Jin saw the Lorelei golem, he was impressed by the material and the idea.
"Wow, I've never seen a golem made from the leather of a magical beast.
When Jin said this, Reinhardt's eyes widened.
"Amazing! I can't believe you recognized Lorelei's material at a glance!"
"It makes sense to use supple materials for supple movements, doesn't it?"
Reinhardt took Jin's hand,
"Yes! You understand me. And you, Miss Leco, don't ...... get it, do you? She's not a golem.
The major difference between a golem and an automata is that an automata is made to look like a human being. One of them is that they wear clothes.
Well, the boundary between the two blurs when you get down to it. At any rate, the first priority of automata is to resemble human beings, while the priority of golems is to be used for their intended purpose. This does not apply to Reiko.
Anyway, when Reinhardt said that to Jin, he smiled wryly,
"Oh. Actually, we haven't built it yet."
"Oh? Is that so?
"Actually, I was invited yesterday, and I registered for the event yesterday afternoon.
Reinhardt looked surprised,
"That's a lot of work, isn't it? I and the other participants have already prepared for the event and are already making adjustments.
But Jin chuckled,
"Well, you'll just have to wait and see," he said confidently.
He said confidently, "Well, you'll just have to wait and see.
"Yes, you're right! Jin, you look like a real competitor. I'm looking forward to the competition!
Reinhard said,
"Lorelei, let's go!"
"Lorelei, let's go," he said, and climbed onto the mermaid golem's back,
"Bye, Jin."
He swam away. Jin watched him go,
"I see, just because the golem is moving, it doesn't mean I have to stay on the boat," he muttered.
Jin muttered. Then he chuckled,
"Well, it's motivating to have competition, isn't it?
Jin said this to no one in particular, and looking at the position of the sun, he knew it was almost noon,
"Well then, Reiko, we'd better get back.
"Yes, father."
He got out of the sea and returned to Kainarutei.
* * * * * *
"Then let's go to get some materials.
After meeting up at the restaurant and having lunch together with Marcia, Jin and Reiko went out to the town.
"What do you use for the golem?"
Marcia asked,
"Light silver would be good, but if you can't, bronze will do.
She replied, "Light silver is good, but if not, bronze will do. Then Marcia replied,
"Well, light silver is out of our budget. I'm sorry, but can you do it in bronze?
"Yes, of course.
Jin nodded in agreement. The group then came to a place where warehouses of material stores were lined up.
This is the place.
"Come in."
A shopkeeper greeted them,
"50 kilograms of bronze ingots for the golem. And a magi stone."
But..,
I'm sorry, we have the bronze, but we're out of Magi Stones.
What?
Marcia's voice gets louder. Without the Magi Stone, the Golem is nothing more than a mere wooden figure. As a shipwright, she knew that much.
"Well, the next shipment is due in a week," she said, "so we won't have them in time for the competition! Forget it, I'll go to another store."
An exasperated Marcia said,
"Oh, it won't matter where you go."
The clerk says, "Why?
"Why?"
Marcia asked the clerk,
"Someone bought up all the Magi stones around here last night.
"......"
Marcia was pale. If she didn't do something, she wouldn't be able to complete her golem. And that meant she would have to abandon the competition.
Then Jin tapped Marcia on the shoulder.
"Jin?"
"Marcia, let's just buy the bronze and go home. I have the Magi Stone.
Marcia was relieved when Jin said this and nodded her head,
"Then I'll just buy the bronze and go home.
The shopkeeper replied,
"Thank you, that will be 30,000 dollars.
Marcia was astonished at these words.
"What? Isn't that double the market price?"
"Yes. We've been running low lately.
"That's double ...... the price."
"Can't you get it for 20,000 dollars?"
I'll ask him if it's not too late,
"That would be a little over 30 kilos.
Marcia is disappointed, but Hitoshi is not,
But Hitoshi said, "Thirty kilometers is all I need.
But Hitoshi said, "30 kilometers is all I need.
"Really?
"Really? Leave it to me.
Seeing Jin's confidence, Marcia felt a little relieved,
Then give me 30 kilos of bronze.
With these words, he paid 18,000 dollars. The waiter brought the mass of bronze from one place to another and placed it in front of Jin and the others.
"So, will you carry it for me?
Marcia said, but the waiter said, "I'm busy right now,
"I'm busy right now.
She refuses.
She says no. "What are you talking about! There are no other customers!"
But the waiter says nothing and goes back to the back of the room. Marcia was left behind,
"d*mn! What a place!"
But Hitoshi said,
"Marcia, you're wasting your time. Let's go home."
Then he looked at Reiko,
"Reiko, I'm sorry, but please..."
"Yes, brother."
And Reiko lifted the 30 kilogram ingot with ease.
"Hey, hey ......"
Marcia's mouth dropped open when she saw it. And so did the clerk who was watching from the shadows.
A girl of 130 centimeters in height, who looked to be no more than 10 years old, was lightly lifting a metal mass that weighed as much as she did.
"I told you, Reiko is my assistant.
"I don't think it's as heavy as this!"
While they were arguing, Reiko was walking away with the ingot.
