Jin looked at the golem called Lorelei and was impressed with the concept and materials used .
「Oooh, it’s the first time I’ve seen demon beast leather used as a material for a golem . 」
When Jin said that, Reinhardt’s eyes opened wide .
「Amazing! You were able to tell the materials Lorelei was made of at a glance!」
「Using flexible material to allow flexible movement, it makes sense . 」
Reinhardt grabbed Jin’s hand,
「That’s right! You really do understand! So, that Miss Reiko of yours… I guess there’s no way she could be . Definitely not a golem . 」
The main difference between automatas and golems was that automatas are usually made to imitate humans . That’s one of the reasons they wear clothes .
Well if you were to think about it, you’d find the boundary rather vague . For now, you could say automatas try to imitate humans first and foremost while golems prioritise utility . However, this didn’t apply to Reiko .
That aside, having heard what Reinhardt said, Jin with a wry smile,
「Yep . I actually haven’t made one yet . 」
「Eh? Really?」
「Actually, I was only just invited yesterday and had only registered yesterday afternoon . 」
Reinhardt was surprised,
「This is very serious . Including me, many of the other participants have already finished preparations and started their adjustments . 」
However, Jin grinned,
「Well, just see . 」
He said confidently .
「Right! Jin, you don’t seem like an ordinary person . I’m looking forward to the day of the competition!」
Reihardt said, then,
「Lorelei, lets go . 」
He uttered as he got on the mermaid golem’s back and,
「See you later Jin . 」
They then swam away . As Jin saw them off,
「I see, as long as the golem can move itself, then it doesn’t mean you have to ride on the boat . 」
He muttered . Then he grinned,
「Well, they say motivation comes from having a rival . 」
He said that phrase . Judging from the position of the sun, Jin knew it was nearly noon,
「Well then Reiko, let’s go back as well . 」
「Yes, Otou-sama」
Getting out from the sea, they returned to the Sea Pavilion .
「Well then, let’s go procure some materials . 」
After meeting up at the Sea Pavilion, Jin, Reiko and Marcia had lunch together before going out to town .
「What materials will you use for the golem?」
Marcia asked,
「Light Silver would be best, but if it’s too excessive, bronze is also fine . 」
He answered . Then Marcia replied,
「Yeah, Light Silver is too unreasonable with our budget . Sorry, but can we go with bronze?」
「Yeah, of course . 」
Jin said and nodded . They then came to a place where rows of material warehouse stores were lined .
「It’s here . 」
「Welcome . 」
The clerk welcomed,
「We’d like 50kg of bronze ingots for a golem . Also a Magi Stone . 」
However,
「Ah, I’m sorry, we have bronze but we’re out of our stock of Magi Stones . 」
「What!?」
Marcia raised her voice . Without a Magi Stone, a golem is only a doll . She knew that much as a shipwright .
「T-then when is the new stock scheduled to arrive?」
「The next stock is scheduled to come in one week . 」
「Then we’ll be too late for the competition! Fine, we’ll go check another store . 」
Marcia angrily said and,
「Ah, it’s probably useless no matter where you go . 」
The clerk stated .
「Why is that?」
Marcia asked the clerk,
「Yesterday night, someone bought up all the Magi Stones around here . 」
Marcia’s face went ghastly pale . Like this, they wouldn’t be able to complete the golem . They’ll then have to withdraw from the competition .
Jin tapped Marcia’s shoulder .
「Jin?」
「Marcia, we’ll only buy the bronze then . If we need a Magi Stone, I have one . 」
Because Jin had said that, Marcia nodded with relief,
「Then we’ll only buy the bronze . 」
She said, the clerk,
「Thanks for the patronage . That will be 30,000 Torr . 」
With these words, Marcia was aghast .
「What!? Isn’t that double the market price?」
「Yes . We’ve been short on stock recently . 」
「But for it to be double…」
「How much can we get for 20,000 Torr?」
She tried asking,
「You can get a bit more than 30kg with that . 」
Marcia was disappointed, however Jin,
「If there’s 30kg, I can work with it . 」
He had said .
「Really!?」
「Yeah . Please leave it to me . 」
Looking at Jin’s confidence, Marcia became a little relieved,
「Then we’ll take 30kg please . 」
Saying that, they paid 18,000 Torr . The clerk took out a lump of bronze with great effort, placing it in front of them .
「Can you carry it for us?」
Marcia had said, but the clerk,
「I’m currently busy, please carry it by yourself . 」
He refused .
「What are you saying! There isn’t even any other customers!」
However it was useless to talk as the clerk had withdrawn to the back . Marcia who was left behind,
「Seriously! What kind of shop is this!」
But Jin,
「Marcia, it’s a waste of time . Let’s go back . 」
Saying that, he looked over to Reiko,
「Sorry Reiko, but please carry it . 」
「Yes, Onii-sama . 」
Reiko then easily lifted the 30kg of ingot .
「Wh-Wha… . . 」
Marcia’s mouth went wide open having seen that . It was also the same for the clerk who was watching from the shadows .
Because they had seen a girl with a height of 130cm who only looked about 10 years old, easily lifting the metal that was around the same weight as herself .
「As I said, Reiko is my assistant . 」
「There’s no way I’d believe you with just that!」
While they were arguing, Reiko had walked off with the ingot .
