From going out collecting this time, Jin had found a yellow earth type 《Magic Crystal》, as well as 15 small pieces . It was a considerable amount .
Additionally, Mithril Silver and Adamantite too . He could bring back all the 《Magic Crystals》 but all the minerals was impossible . So after Jin and Rock returned to the village, together with not just Gen but Gon too, he went to collect the minerals that was dug out .
The next day, with the two Golems that did not tire, they piled up all the minerals on the yard . When Jin looked at it, the amount he could use spread out before him, and he chuckled to himself .
「Onii-chan, what are you grinning about?」
When Hanna said that, Jin came to and tried to hide his smile in embarrassment,
「I-It’s nothing」
「Is that so…? By the way, Rock-san is calling for you」
「Rock-san?」
When he left the yard wondering what it was, he saw Rock standing with something in his hand .
「Yo, Jin . This is the dried meat of the mountain deer . It’s only a little, but I wanted to share this fellow with ya」
He was holding the dried meat of the mountain deer they caught on the way back from collecting . Since raw meat goes bad if left alone, by turning the meat that is a precious source of protein into dried meat, it can be preserved .
「Aa, thanks for going out of your way for this」
When Jin accepted it, Rock continued,
「The thing is, I have a little request for you today」
「What is it?」
「This time me and a few other were thinking to go hunting for mountain deer, but for carrying our luggage, could you lend Gon or Gen?」
With a Golem carrying the luggage, it would certainly be easier to enter the mountain . So Jin,
「Sure . Then please take along Gen」
「Ou, alright . Well then, I’ll come by tomorrow morning」
Rock said and then returned home . Jin then looked at Gon and Gen,
「Un, right then, I should hurry up and get done with strengthening them」
「Onii-chan, what are you doing?」
Hanna who was still nearby heard Jin murmur and asked him .
「Hn? I’ll be making Gon and Gen a little bit more stronger」
「They’ll become stronger? Can I become stronger?」
「Haha, that’s probably impossible . Shouldn’t a girl be more graceful?」
Irresponsibly and nonchalantly Jin said that . Hanna hearing that,
「Is that how it is? So Onii-chan likes graceful girls more…」
she mumbled, but it did not enter Jin’s ear who was focusing on his work .
「For now, I’ll change the old hand and breastplate with Adamantite」
Last time, while digging for minerals, Gen’s hand broke from digging Adamantite ore . And the breastplate is to protect the 《Mana Drive》, 《Ether Converter》, and 《Control Core》 made from 《Magic Crystal》 placed inside the chest . He decided to make the two from Adamantite .
「《Smelting》!」
He smelted the minerals into metal using magic . Among the impurities was tin, chromium, nickel and other metals mixed in which he stored away and planned to smelt later .
Though Jin did the process alone, he was not aware about how it was far from the norm . Well, there wasn’t anyone in Kaina Village to point this out, therefore things continued on peacefully .
「Alright, with this the bodies of these two are now robust」
And he was still not aware that Gon and Gen were gradually becoming more of an outrageous Golem .
「Well then, Rock-san, Jeff-san, Yang-san, take care」
「Ou, we’ll be going」
「Dear, take care」
「Gen, I leave Rock-san and the others to you」
「Acknowledged, Master」
The next morning, Rock and two others went out to hunt mountain deer . Some of the children would go along partway to have fun . Mario went of course and Hanna too .
And speaking of Jin, he had begun working on making something new .
That is, a Horse Golem .
Golems have a humanoid form, the reason why they can control their movement is because stored in the 《Control Core》 is the movement information of a human . In other words, it’s only because the person who made it has an understanding of human movement . .
However, that did not apply to Jin who is a 《Magi Craft Meister》 . He had the analysed data for walking on the four legs inherited from his predecessor . In this respect, this period is behind that of the past . Truly, war was an unpleasant thing .
Back to the story, Jin had begun making a 《Pony》 . To start with, he thought to make a mean of transport exclusively for Hanna .
Unlike an 《Automata》, the structure of a Golem was simple (but that’s based on Jin’s standards) .
「Well, its capabilities should be good for an adult」
The exterior is bronze hardened by magic, at first glance a person would understand it was artificial . For that he thought it would be good if it was somehow of a normal category .
Using the Adamantite for the frame, its durability raised but it was no longer a horse .
「I should consider speed more than power and endurance」
So he used two 《Magic Crystals》 each for the 《Mana Drive》 and 《Ether Converter》 . It had already become a monster-class .
「One should be fine for the 《Control Core》」
Because a complex autonomous behaviour wasn’t needed, a small《Magic Crystal》 was used .
「Okay, creating 《Control System》… un, I’ve gotten used to it」
Jin simulated the movement of a horse in his brain, then converted it into a movement control method . This series of processes could be done because he was the 《Magi Craft Meister》, for a normal 《Magic Craftsman》 it would be impossible, and Jin was not aware of that .
「Then, so it’s easy to get on I’ll attach this saddle… and it’s complete!」
With the 《Pony》 completed, with the same structure, he made another Horse Golem for himself . Its size was slightly larger, though it was still a bit smaller than a normal horse . Because it would be hard to get on and off if it was big .
「Onii-chan, what are you making… Horse?」
Just when the second one was completed, Hanna came back .
「Yo Hanna, you’re right on time . Listen here . This small horse here I made just for you」
Hearing that, Hanna’s reddish brown eyes widened up .
「Eh? My horse?」
Because it was only the village chief that had a horse in Kaina Village, it was a natural question . Jin gently smiled,
「Aa, that’s right . Hold on for a moment」
saying that he turned towards the Horse Golem,
「Activate」
The two Golems rose up . And then Jin, towards his own horse,
「Let’s see… I’ll name you, 『Koma』 . Your name is 『Koma』」 ⚑
Koma . Did he mean horse? There was nothing left to say . And next he turned towards Hanna,
「Hanna, go ahead and name this horse here」
「I get to? Un, then 『Mint』!」
This herb was also in this world . It’s colour was that of verdigris so it might match . At least it was better than Jin’s naming sense .
「OK, I name you 『Mint』 . Your master is this child」
Mint looked at Hanna and bowed . It seems to have understood .
「Alright, Hanna, try riding it」
「Eh? I haven’t ridden a horse before though?」
「It’s okay . Because this will be simpler than a horse」
Saying that, Jin put Hanna onto 『Mint』 . It was a 《Pony》 so once Hanna got used to it she could get on it alone .
「Oh yeah . You put your foot up on that『Stirrup』 . Un, now hold onto this handle」
「Eh? What is this?」
Something was protruding from the base of the Horse Golem’s neck . No matter how you looked at it, it was a bike handle . Right, Jin used the control method of a bike for the Horse Golem .
To the Hanna who was nervously sitting over Mint, Jin taught her the basics .
「The right hand is the accelerator, if you twist it, it’ll start moving . To stop, you twist back the accelerator, then clasp the break lever . And for when you want to turn, you turn the handle and the horse will turn in proportion to how much you turn it . 」
After teaching that, he got on his own 『Koma』,
「Well then, try walking . It’ll be fine, I’ll move together with you」
To begin with, so the horse didn’t run wild, he added a 《Limiter》, so Mint could never run wild .
「U-Un」
Hanna softly twisted the accelerator . Accordingly, Mint slowly began walking .
「Waa, it moved!」
Pakapaka, was the peculiar movement 『Mint』 made when walking . Jin followed along with 『Koma』 .
「Good, good . Try twisting the accelerator a bit more . 」
「Un!」
Then, the walking pace of Mint raised in speed, becoming a trot . This was the maximum speed for the current setting .
「Waa, this is fun!」
Having adjusted to the stability of the saddle and stirrup, Hanna managed to safely ride Mint . Jin was relieved .
