Jin, who had just finished breakfast and was having a cup of tea, hurried to the institute to hear the report he had been waiting for. <
When Jin and Reiko went to the basement hall of the institute, Sky1 was already waiting for them.
"Sky1, I see you've completed your ground reconnaissance."
"Yes. I've made a schematic map of the surrounding area, centered here on Horai Island.
Sky1 unfolded a large sheet of paper and showed it to me. The paper was white-tanned hexenbiest leather, a durable material that would last for a thousand years or so.
"Hmmm... ......"
Jin was impressed by the schematic drawing. It is quite well drawn.
The map, which was drawn with Horai Island in the center, showed the sea all the way to the right, or east, and part of the continent to the west. To the west, a part of the continent was drawn.
"This continent is the continent where the kingdoms of Klein and Elias are located, isn't it?
"Yes, that's correct."
Sky1 confirms Jin's guess.
"Good, keep up the aerial survey at this rate. When you fly over the continent, be careful not to be noticed by the people below, okay?
"Yes, sir. Yes, sir. I'll fly as high as I can.
Yes, please do that.
The problems that humans have with air pressure, oxygen levels, and cold do not affect the golem.
Jin continues to look at the map.
"This must be the Kingdom of Elias. It looks like this. This must be the area where we had the boat race. And this is Io.
And if we look more closely..,
"Is there another island between Horai Island and the continent? It's much smaller."
Jin wondered if the island could be used as a villa, or rather an outpost for defending Horai Island.
"The planes were double-seaters, right? Take some army golems with you and have them survey the island."
Yes, sir.
"And if it's uninhabited, we want it to be our island too, so let's ...... call the main ones while we're at it."
Jin invited Soleil, Luna, the five colored golem maids, and Marine 1 and Land 1, and explained his plan for the future.
1. Whenever we invite someone from now on, we first invite them to .
2. will be maintained in a plausible manner, and Jin will make it look as if he is living there.
3. In case of emergency, he treats the island as a dummy Horai Island.
4. The island is named .
The naming of the island is a hobby of Jin's. "The details will be worked out in the future.
"We'll work out the details now, but have you figured out what we're going to do?
Everyone in the room answered "yes" to Jin's confirmation.
If you need more help, please let me know.
"Yes, master (my master), if you want to maintain your place too, please increase the number of people under your command.
The five colored golem maids all made the same request, and Jin agreed. The same goes for Marine 1, Sky 1, and Land 1. In short, they were short on staff.
"Oh, okay, okay."
So Jin was to increase the number of golems under his command for the rest of the day.
"Father, are you sure about your magical power?
Even though he is a Magecraft Meister, his magical power is limited.
Yes, I think I can still afford it.
"I knew it."
In fact, since Jin's body is mostly supplemented with magical elements, the amount of active magical elements (mana) he possesses is extraordinary, or rather, an impossible amount.
It will be a little while before Jin learns of this from others. Reiko had an idea, but she kept quiet because she had no proof.
So, after a lot of work that a normal mage would have been exhausted by now, the golem was finally completed,
The golems that were finally produced were five golems each under Soleil and Luna. The names of the golems are Prane 1 to 5 under Soleil and Satella 1 to 5 under Luna. The type is a girl type.
There are 90 golem maids of each of the 5 colors. Together with the 10 from before, the total is now 100. The type is female.
There are 80 golems of Sky, Marine, and Land. The total number of golems is 100. The numbers are 21 to 100, and the type is male.
"Ah, I'm really tired. ......
Jin muttered while relaxing in the bath. I was more physically tired than magically tired.
Even though he had Soleil, Luna, Prane, Satella, and the others helping him from the middle, it is probably a world record to have built this many golems in one day.
"Reiko, how is the inventory of materials?
As expected, we consumed a large amount of materials, and Jin seemed to be getting worried.
Yes, we are fine. The copper, nickel, mithril, light silver, adamantite, etc. that we used, we can make a thousand times this number of golems.
He has been mining every day for a thousand years.
"Originally, this island was rich in mineral resources, which is why your mother chose it as her base of operations."
She must have known from experience that volcanoes are rich in underground resources. Reiko explained to Jin that the danger of eruption was magically detected and mitigated.
"The previous generation must have been amazing."
Even the modern earth cannot control the energy of volcanoes.
"Tomorrow afternoon, we'll go to Potrock."
My appointment with Reinhardt is in ten days. The day after tomorrow.
You've done a lot in eight days.
"Yes, you're a great father."
Reiko, who was standing by my side, was giving me some advice.
"Reiko, thank you for helping me.
Jin thanked Reiko for her help.
"No, I am here to help your father.
Reiko looked happy even as she answered.
"It's true that you've helped me. Well, I'd better get out of here.
Reiko holds out a bath towel to Hitoshi after he gets out of the bath. Hitoshi wipes himself off and gets dressed,
"Reiko, what's for dinner tonight?"
Reiko asked him.
"I think it's grilled fish and fried prawns.
"Oh! I'm looking forward to it.
Since they had oil, bread crumbs, flour, and eggs, they could make tempura and fried prawns. Of course, Jin taught me.
There was something like Worcestershire sauce, which was enough for frying.
"Ah, it was delicious!
Jin muttered with satisfaction as he ate his perspex after the meal.
"I am honored, father.
Luna, who was in charge of tonight's meal, said happily. Soleil and Luna have been showing a little glimpse of their emotions lately, perhaps due to Reiko's influence.
(But you know, they are still different from human beings.)
Jin mutters this in his mind without saying it out loud.
Whether Reiko or other golems, they are absolutely obedient to their creator Jin, which sometimes makes Jin sad.
(I guess people want to be among people, after all...)
Jin looks up at the night sky from the window and thinks to himself.
"Father, aren't you cold?
Reiko says to him,
"Yes, I'm fine."
Jin replies, "Yes, I'm fine." He recalls his life in the village of Kaina with nostalgia.
