Chapter 168: CH 168

 Stern Tower Construction


When I came to, I was on my bed in my room in the mansion at the Sanctuary.

「Are you awake?」
「Y-yeah, were you by my side the entire time, Sophia? How long was I out?」
「One night. One night has passed since you created the ship with alchemy, and it is now morning.」
「I see. Then how is the ship? If my memory serves me right, I think I made a blue hull.」

I’m pretty sure that I lost consciousness after I inspected the completed blue hull.

「Do not worry. Golan-san also did an inspection, and it was made according to the blueprint.」
「I see, that’s a relief.」

I got up from the bed and stretched. My body is still a bit sluggish, but aside from that, there were no problems.

「I’m hungry.」
「Marnie and Maria are preparing it. Will you eat at the dining room? Or should it be brought here?」
「Let’s eat at the dining room.」

When I went to the dining room, everyone looked relieved. I felt guilty since I seem to have worried them a lot.

「Don’t overwork yourself, okay?」
「I was so worried.」
「Sorry, sorry. I’ve worried Akane and Lulu-chan too.」

I apologized to Akane who was already seated and Lulu-chan whose hands stopped serving.

「Takumi-sama, please take your seat quickly.」
「Are you fine with black tea, MasterHusband?」
「Yeah, Maria, Marnie, sorry for worrying you too.」

Marnie and Maria, who prepared my meal, were relieved after confirming I was alright.

「Laeva, how was work?」
「Nom, yes, Golan-san and Doganbo-san are in the middle of working on setting up the stern tower.」

Laeva informed me as she stuffed her cheeks with food.

「Hey, what’s a stern tower?」
「Akane, do you know what a “Galleon” is? It’s like the building that has the captain’s cabin in that galleon’s ship.」
「Hmm, I don’t really get it.」

It seems the high schooler Akane doesn’t know understand what the galleon stern is even though I explained. Though, I didn’t get it from the galleon either, I imitated it from a certain space pirate’s ship, after all. That space pirate is something Akane’s generation would know even less[1].

「We’ve stocked up on Treant Wood and then we’ll just buy what’s lacking from the Papeck Company. According to the blueprint, the plan is to set up a captain’s cabin and private rooms with restrooms, bathrooms, beds for our companions in the stern tower.」
「I’ll help with the ship’s hold, large public bathroom, and guestrooms, but I’ll have to make the Magic Turbine and propellers before that.」
「We’ve already brought the materials into the engine room.」

It’s been decided that the Magic Turbine and the CPP’s fins, which had been prototyped multiple times, will be made with alchemy. Laeva informed me that the materials had been prepared.

「Even so, please rest for 2-3 more day.」
「Ah, yeah, I’ll do that.」

Sophia told me to rest. It’d probably be best to be obedient here.

Having rested properly for 3 days, I came to the shipbuilding dock.

「Good work. Are things going well?」
「Ou, your body’s alright now? The stern tower is as you see, the pillars and beams are finished.」

I asked Golan-san, who commands the Dwarves, about the progress.

「Then I’ll help process the wood boards too.」
「Yeah, I’m counting on you. Undine-sama is rushing for the completion of the ship.」
「Is that so? Sorry about that, I even rested for 3 days.」
「What’cha ya sayin? You made a ship this enormous with alchemy, it would have taken us half a year, you know?」

They’d be able to make it in half a year……… Dwarves are amazing.

The stern tower construction is advancing at a quick pace with the Dwarves’ and Dryas’ help.

「The handling of the wood was done by the Elves, wasn’t it?」
「Yes, as we are woodworkers, we are pleased to be of help. Isn’t that right, Rosalie?」
「Yes, if our abilities can be useful to everyone, how can we not be glad, Vaudeville?」

The complex and delicate carvings on the stern tower were done by new residents of the Sanctuary, the spouses Rosalie and Vaudeville. In Yggurle Kingdom, they mainly did woodworking and carvings.

While being coached by Vaudeville-san and Rosalie-san, I also started sculpting the stern tower. Golan-san and the Dwarves have applied strengthening enchantments to the already durable Treant Wood.

Instead of window glass, the wings of a monster known as the Great Armored Dragonfly were used as windows and were given enchantments with Physical and Magic resistance.

Furniture like tables, sofas, and chairs, as well as interior designs like carpets and curtains were being made by Kaede and Maria.

With the help of the Dwarves and Elves, the stern tower was completed in 10 days.
In my spare time during the construction of the stern tower, I transmuted two shafts for the CPP screw and the Magic Turbine.

The bridge’s pilothouse is done. Afterwards, when I thought that the ship could go on its maiden voyage once we lay treant wood on the deck, build the ship’s hold, the large public bath, and guest cabins, I realized I forgot something important.

「We didn’t think of any weapons…………」

We built a strong ship because sea monsters are gigantic and powerful, but I forgot to come up with the crucial weapons.
