Chapter 6-14: Volume 6 - Chapter 14 – The Always Forgotten
06-14 The Always Forgotten
After somehow calming Beana down, Earl Kuzuma summoned the head maid .
“You called, master?”
A lady attendant in her mid-30s with a composed air about her appeared . She was dressed in a dark blue dress with a white bib apron, and wore a maid headdress .
She had brunette hair, and eyes of the same color . Her body was slightly chubby, she was a maid that gave off a calm atmosphere .
“Yes, as a matter of fact, as this golem’s currently under production, I want you to share your knowledge with it, Malloum . ”
“Come again?”
Either way, or rather because it didn’t seem like she could understand, Jin stepped forward .
“Malloum-san, please keep on thinking about the work you usually do . ”
Jin explained, and as expected she seemed to not really understand but replied anyway,
“O- Okay . ”
However, Jin wasn’t concerned,
“[Trans-info] level 3 . ”
“Eek!?”
Malloum was surprised when Magic Energy suddenly pierced her head . Jin explained that there would be no pain, after-effects, or any kind of real harm .
Even so, Malloum turned a bit pale .
“Master/Slave, rank one, blank; rank two, Earl Kuzuma; rank three, Beana; Rank four, Malloum . ”
He planned to have the third prince be rank one .
After establishing the chain of command, all of the work had been completed . Incidentally, Jin’s rank was an exception as her Father .
“Huh, a method like that! I truly won’t get tired of being with Jin!”
It seemed like Reinhardt ‘saw’ the method Jin used, as expected of him .
“Well, now then, since the client is already here, [Activate] . ”
“Yes, Father . ”
“Eeek!”
Malloum let out a small shriek when she saw the golem suddenly come to life .
“How is it, the condition of the body?”
Jin enquired, and after moving her body around a little the golem answered that there are no problems .
“This is your master, greet him . ”
“Nice to meet you, My Master . I am in your care . ”
The golem said and bowed to Earl Kuzuma . The movement was graceful and natural .
“Hmm, there’s certainly a resemblance to Malloum . ”
Since the knowledge was transcribed from Malloum, the movements also resembled Malloum’s .
Jin asked the Earl to name her, and the Earl thought for a bit and said,
“Hmm, your name will be ‘Lotte’ . ”
“Understood, thank you very much . I am Lotte . ”
Lotte said and bowed very deeply .
“Beansama, nice to meet you . Malloum-sama, nice to meet you . ””
Lotte also greeted Beana and Malloum . Judging from how her eyes were darting around, this was Malloum’s first time seeing a golem this similar to a human .
“Hm, now then, Malloum, train Lotte for a while, or rather, see that there aren’t any problems . ”
“Y-ye-yes, master . ”
And thus Malloum left the workshop and took Lotte with her .

“Now, Jin, you’ve made a splendid golem indeed . What should I do about the reward?”
“I told you I’d leave it to you . ”
After being told so, the Earl grinned broadly and said,
“How about one million Torr and the status of Egelia Kingdom’s Royal Magi Craftsman?”
“Wh!”
Throwing a sidewards glance at the astonished Reinhardt and Elsa,
“I decline . ”,
Jin resolutely shot down the offer . The Earl just shrugged his shoulders as if he had seen that coming and sighed,
“Good grief, so it’s no good after all . …Reinhardt, I envy you . ”
He then said,
“Three million Torr . How does that sound?”
That was be about thirty million yen .
“That’s fine . ”
This time Jin took the offer .
He entrusted the reward of 300 golden coins to Reiko . She pinched the bag containing 6 kilograms of golden coins with her fingertips, lifted it up with agility, and put it in the front pocket of her apron .
While the displayed power was a given, the apron didn’t tear when such a heavy thing was put in, nor did it even get pulled taut . It was indeed made of rare materials .
When the talk of a reward was over, it was already evening .
After bathing, Jin and the others gathered in the dining room .
There the serving maids came carrying the meals, and among them was Lotte wearing a maid outfit .
“Oh, Lotte, those clothes suit you . You already seem like a diligent worker . ”

The Earl commended, as he looked at her serving the meals with the movements of an experienced maid .
“Thank you, My Master . ”
“Master, Lotte is most excellent . With just a little guidance, she works like a maid with ten years of experience . ”
“You flatter me . ”
With a humanlike response like that, if you didn’t know beforehand, it could be possible to not notice she was a golem . Even more so since she was wearing clothes .
“Hmm, you could say this is already an Automaton . ”
Reinhardt muttered . Jin tried asking Reinhardt what’s the difference between a golem and an Automata .
“It’s just our own definition, but we call something that ‘puts the emphasis on being like a human’ is an Automata, while something that ‘puts the emphasis on functionality’ is a Golem . ”
“I see . For me, to put it plainly, Automata have hair on their heads and have skin . Golems’ hair is the same material as their bodies, and they basically have no skin, or something like that . ”
That could be said to be one definition, Reinhardt nodded in response .
“Jin-kun . ”
During the teatime after the Dinner Elsa addressed Jin .
“Hm? What is it?”
“Damper . ”
When he heard that one short word, Jin thought, ‘ah’ . He kept saying he’ll add some dampers on the carriages, but every time something more important kept him busy and it was postponed .
“That’s right, this time I’ll make them . Thanks, Elsa . ”
“Mm . ”
Elsa looked a little happy about Jin’s thanks .
“Then tomorrow, I’ll do it while the broken carriage is being replaced!”

“Hmm, in that case, I’ll arrange for the materials as promised . ”
Since Reinhardt also agreed on it, Earl Kuzuma prepared the materials for the damper too .
Next morning, right after breakfast, the two went to begin the carriage remodeling and building .
“Since it’s a carriage, the axle runs between the left and right wheels, right?”
“Hm? Obviously . ”
“However, what would happen if you attached the wheels to a fixed axle instead?”
“Hm? …I see, you’re talking about having the wheels rotate independently . If it’s done that way… What would it do?”
“It would decrease the resistance when making turns . ”
While having a conversation like that, the two put together their plans for the carriages .
As expected, Elsa wasn’t accompanying them, and was instead spending the day leisurely in Earl Kuzuma’s mansion .
The nanny Mine stuck to Elsa for the whole day . She seemed rather delighted .
“And so, to suppress the vibrations, wouldn’t a structure like this be fine?”
“No, that’s way too complicated . It’s better to do it this way…”
“Wow, the leather of a Grand Mud Frog makes for a great result!”
“Uh-huh, it should be enough for a damper . ”
Without even having a proper lunch, the two dealt with the carriages until evening when the new model of carriage was completed in .
