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.
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.
When Hanna said that, Jin came to and tried to hide his smile in embarrassment,
「Is that so…? By the way, Rock-san is calling for you」
When he left the yard wondering what it was, he saw Rock standing with something in his hand.
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.
When Jin accepted it, Rock continued,
「What is it?」
With a Golem carrying the luggage, it would certainly be easier to enter the mountain. So Jin,
「Ou, alright. Well then, I’ll come by tomorrow morning」
「Un, right then, I should hurry up and get done with strengthening them」
Hanna who was still nearby heard Jin murmur and asked him.
「They’ll become stronger? Can I become stronger?」
Irresponsibly and nonchalantly Jin said that. Hanna hearing that,
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」
「《Smelting》!」
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.
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」
「Dear, take care」
「Acknowledged, Master」
And speaking of Jin, he had begun working on making something new.
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..
Back to the story, Jin had begun making a 《Pony》. To start with, he thought to make a mean of transport exclusively for Hanna.
「Well, its capabilities should be good for an adult」
Using the Adamantite for the frame, its durability raised but it was no longer a horse.
So he used two 《Magic Crystals》 each for the 《Mana Drive》 and 《Ether Converter》. It had already become a monster-class.
Because a complex autonomous behaviour wasn’t needed, a small《Magic Crystal》 was used.
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.
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.
Just when the second one was completed, Hanna came back.
Hearing that, Hanna’s reddish brown eyes widened up.
Because it was only the village chief that had a horse in Kaina Village, it was a natural question. Jin gently smiled,
saying that he turned towards the Horse Golem,
The two Golems rose up. And then Jin, towards his own horse,
Koma. Did he mean horse? There was nothing left to say. And next he turned towards Hanna,
「I get to? Un, then 『Mint』!」
「OK, I name you 『Mint』. Your master is this child」
「Alright, Hanna, try riding it」
「It’s okay. Because this will be simpler than a horse」
「Oh yeah. You put your foot up on that『Stirrup』. Un, now hold onto this handle」
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.
「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.」
「Well then, try walking. It’ll be fine, I’ll move together with you」
「U-Un」
「Waa, it moved!」
「Good, good. Try twisting the accelerator a bit more.」
Then, the walking pace of Mint raised in speed, becoming a trot. This was the maximum speed for the current setting.
Having adjusted to the stability of the saddle and stirrup, Hanna managed to safely ride Mint. Jin was relieved.
