The second day of carriage making .
But it was actually easier than yesterday . Since I knew the basic structure of a carriage . Now I just needed to figure out how to keep the carriage from shaking too much .
To be honest, the shaking from the carriages I had ridden before were quite dreadful .
The roads weren’t always smooth, and there were times where I would doze off only to be jostled by a sudden bump and nearly bite my tongue . There were also various times where I bumped my head .

As such, I wanted to make a carriage that wouldn’t shake around .
A suspension system would be necessary . I tried testing various things out to see what would be best for ensuring the carriage ride was smooth . And before I realized, it was already evening . Oh, right . What about the designs?

In the end, it took about a week to finish the designs . Yeah, I know . I really do know, hahaha . It’s because I was rather meticulous in my previous life so…… . it couldn’t be helped .
However, while I was coming up with the designs, I also made some lightweight materials such as duralumin and titanium, so the carriage ended up being much lighter than I initially planned . I would have to replace the frame parts of the golem horse later .
The metal ores were apparently from deep within the ground . The deep layers of the ground were rich with ores . Which would explain the high MP cost when I created them .
And so the design plans were completed and I began to make the carriage .
I would need Creation Magic to make the parts just like with the golem, but this time I decided to take it slow and not use recovery potions .
Since it had taken me quite a while to complete the design plans, I guess there really isn’t a need to rush anymore?

Thus, I worked slowly without rushing myself for about another week . And finally, the carriage was completed .
Ah, even when I was working on the carriage, I still sold the herbs from Storage . It was helpful to the guild in various ways and I still have a huge stockpile left .
Anyways, moving on .
The completed carriage was a box-shaped carriage . With an emphasis on safety and comfort .
Well, it would make sense for me to sleep inside the carriage when camping, right? To begin with, all my luggage was inside of Storage .
The carriage was designed so that you would enter from behind the coach seat . Through a door . There was also a small space behind the seats where luggage could be stored .
The door to enter inside the carriage was on the left side when facing frontward . I also made a space to store luggage in the back of the carriage and also made a door for it . Additionally, all the doors have locks .
The inside was furnished with a sofa which faced forward . Naturally, it was soft and had pocket coils . Since it was a foldable type, it could also be pulled out and made into a bed . I think around four people should be able to sleep on it if they tried?
There was a foldable table attached to the wall . I also added holsters to hold drinks . There were even windows on the front and right side .
What about the wheels? What else would I use besides rubber? An inner tube? Of course!

To be honest, I overdid it a little . But I didn’t regret it . There’s no helping it if it’s all for living a comfortable life .
But since I went a little crazy, it might be difficult to pull the carriage using one golem horse .
I might have to give up and make another golem horse . But considering the weight of the carriage, it might still be manageable with one horse . The frame looked rather light .
As such, I first tried test-running it with one horse . And from there I made modifications as necessary .
There was no shaking even inside a forest that had no paved roads . I had made something quite amazing .
Although, I would have to sit in the coach seat when I use it on the roads .
But the golem horse was slightly underpowered . As expected, it would be difficult like this, so I gave up and decided to make a second one . Tomorrow .
As such, I ended up making a second golem horse the next day .
But I took it easy unlike the last one where I rushed to complete it in a single day . I also remodeled the first one too .
I knew where the stress was applied due to the few trial runs, so I reinforced those areas .
As I was making various modifications to the golems, the children happily reported that they managed to kill a horned rabbit .
Horned rabbits were large rabbits with horns and were the most accessible form of meat to the common household . And for adventurers, it was one of the few monsters that wasn’t restricted by the subjugation age limit .
In the first place, even ordinary people could defeat horned rabbits as long as they were careful, so it was unlikely that subjugation requests for them would be made . But leaving them be would result in them growing more and more . Apparently, they were as fertile as goblins . And they were pests that would destroy fields . Thus for those reasons, the subjugation age limit was removed .
Adventurers under the age of 13 were often orphans . Naturally, food wasn’t guaranteed . Or they were children from normal families and were working as adventurers as a part-time job, some might have even become adventurers to learn self-defense skills . In these cases, the children would often hunt to add more food to the dining table .
But even if the horned rabbits were weak, they were still monsters . Even an adult would be gouged through the stomach if they weren’t careful . As such, I warned the children not to hunt too aggressively . I didn’t want them to die .
Since the children also prioritized their own safety, they usually didn’t hunt for horned rabbits .
But due to the recent increase in their income, they became able to buy weapons and armor . As such, since everyone had equipment now, and quite possibly also due to their improved diet allowing them to move better . They started hunting horned rabbits . I was happy to see their growth .
But I was also scared of them getting injured . So after praising them, I also made sure to tell them not to overdo it . I didn’t want them to push on even after knowing it would be dangerous .
And so several days passed on like that . The second golem horse was completed and the carriage was also finally completed .
It took longer than expected, but now I could finally go shopping~
