「Hey, Jin！」
「Not there, a little more to the other side.」
A small 2 seater boat was moored at the pier that was becoming misty.
Marcia was saying from the shore, so Jin untied the rope and boarded the ship followed by Reiko, too. Because it was used to help with fishing ,it smelled of young dried fish.
Jin calls out to Marcia,
The smell was killed by 1 and <
「
Transformation 《Forming》, 《Hardening》」
He had completed 2 water wheels and a crank like steering wheel.
Because the ball bearing was impossible now, it was completed immediately with a plain bearing.
In brief, Jin made a side-wheel steamer. He attached the waterwheels to both sides of the hull. The steering wheels operate the right and left separately.
「Ok, Reiko, please turn this and move the ship.」
Unfortunately, it is too inefficient for an ordinary golem, but they’re able to do this because it’s Reiko. It’s because it’s natural for the power of the legs to be stronger than the power of the arm for a golem.
However, it can get enough thrust by hand thanks to Reiko who is a super golem. It is an advantage that the direction can be changed without a rudder.
There were several areas of the sea for practice, and Marcia and others were to the east of the harbor. During this season, the local sea is calm. This is why the competition is carried out now.
「Oh, Jin came…. what’s that?」
「Yes, this is better than an oar. To row it, the legs have worse efficiency, but Reiko can handle it.」
「You know, it may be Jin and an unnecessary thing, but even if Reiko is an assistant and can use physical reinforcement magic, how can you be praised for something that is so hard to drive?」
Jin didn’t understand what she said for an instant, but understood what she was saying shortly after.
「What？」
「Eh?」
「When we just met, I decided to stay silent, but I must confess. We’re teammates.」
「Marcia？」
She appeared to somehow get angry.
Then Jin worked hard to pacify Marcia for a while.
Marcia says,
Marcia said positively as she prepared for the competition, which relieved Jin.
It was uncertain whether she was specifically targeted, but he wanted her to focus on the competition for now. Other than that, he decided to pay as much attention as possible to Marcia’s security.
But Reiko had already thrown out the trash. (TLFalin: I completely twisted this, it basically just said that Reiko had already disposed of it, but I thought this would sound better.) Promoting the cooperation of the golem and the operator is important. If compared, it’s something like the relation between the coachman and the horse of a carriage?
The morning ended with this cycle.
Marcia says, while Jin says
「Yes, the participation fee also includes that part.」
「I see, then I will work on Arrow in the meantime.」
After lunch, Marcia left for the competition office in the town hall. (TLFalin: I can’t remember if we used guild hall or town hall in the earlier translations, I’ll fix it later if it’s the other)
「Well, it moves as expected, but the bronze joint wears out when it moves so much.」
「
Because the Magic Crystal deteriorated a little, I will exchange it for a new one.」
「Will the bronze resist corrosion if I put a thin layer of mithril on it?」 When addict tuning up (remodeling) was over
Marcia came back… but when Jin saw her appearance he nearly spouted out.
Marcia was wearing a navy blue one piece swimsuit. Besides, it looked just like the figure that Jin had made during the registration examination. The chairperson who saw the figure had decided to use it.
「A-ah…. I’m sorry, what is it?」
「We, well, it looks great！」
「That sounded unnatural……」
When that was said, Marcia’s cheeks began to redden.
Because Marcia went out in public in the swimsuit, all of the men at the harbor was staring at her swimsuit form. But she herself thought it was bothersome.
Saying so, she got in Cygnus. After repeating practice and adjustment until the evening, all that was left was to wait for the preliminary the next day. 「Not good! That reminds me, I have to extend the stay at the hotel!」
「It’s ok Father, when we left this morning I had it extended for 3 more nights.」
After that, he resumed preparation for the competition.
It is the world of his hobby, but no one is stopping it.
Reiko was helpful.
