Adriana returned to the beach with Golem F-002 and immediately started to remodel it.

Just then, her stomach made a cute little rumbling sound.

"......I'll have to have a quick lunch first."

She soaks a pile of dried bread, a preserved food, in hot water made by magic and eats it. This is what she often does when she is short on time.

"Well, I don't care what it tastes like, but it fills me up..."

Without taking a break, Adriana starts the remodeling this time.

"First we need to reinforce it. It's steel, so we can't use it on the outside. We have to use it on the inside.

Muttering to herself, Adriana the iron.

She has the golems carry it and install it in key places inside the ship.

"Well, I guess that's about it. ......<>"

As a final touch, he cast a strengthening spell and finished.

"I'm afraid of rust, but it should last a few days. I'd like to gold-plate it or something sometime soon."

The sun was setting when I realized that it was getting late.

"I guess we'll stay here tonight.

Adriana starts to prepare dinner, even if it is a little early.

She builds a cooking stove with her engineering magic and cooks some fish. Of course, she caught the fish during the voyage, as Shuki had taught her how to fish.

< to freeze them instantaneously.

<

First, boil water. I am going to make barley porridge.

When the water is boiling and the barley has been put into the pot, I start to cook the fish.

Adriana gets ready for dinner under the summer sun.

After dinner there is nothing more to do.

Adriana lies down in her bunk on board, with Golem M-002 standing guard.

It was a hammock-type bunk.

The bunks, one meter wide, two meters long, and one meter high, were suspended from the ceiling of the room, and were designed to minimize the effects of shaking.

Adriana covered herself with a blanket and closed her eyes.

But she could not fall asleep right away.

She ruminates about all the things that have happened today.

The villagers were not surprised to see the golem. But what impressed me the most was the blacksmith.

The blacksmith who did not know anything about magical engineering.

The master who was surprised to see engineering magic.

The master who gave us scrap iron.

(<> is not well known yet. ......)

Adriana, however, had no intention of following in Shuki's footsteps and teaching magical engineering herself.

(I'm not very good at teaching, am I?)

Yes, she was not good at teaching, or rather, she was not good at teaching.

She was not good at explaining things in a sensuous way, which is common among geniuses.

Therefore, she left the affairs after Shuki's death to his disciples and ran away.

(I'm going to do what my father did.)

Still, the master we met today was amazed by the knife Adriana made.

"I wonder if it is possible to make not only magic tools but also tools for daily life like that.

I whisper aloud.

"I've only seen making those things as a practice ......."

Making everything would be taking work away from me, but the task of getting the materials, for example, could be done faster and with better quality if I used engineering magic. This is a new awareness.

(Then you can see ......)

While she was thinking about this, she fell asleep and before she knew it, Adriana was asleep.

* * * *

The next day it was raining since morning. It was a rare rain in this season.

It's a little cold. It's a little cold. It's foggy, I think it's better not to go out to sea today.

Since we were quite far north, cold sea fog can occur even in summer.

It's the modern Japanese equivalent of a mountain mist.

"You didn't turn on the heater. ...... It's a bit cold."

At that moment, I was about to modify the air intake to make it retractable.

I heard the voice of M-002, who had been assigned to watch over me.

"Master, you have a visitor."

"Hello?　Who is it?

Adriana stopped her work and went outside the ship.

There stood the middle-aged man she had met yesterday at the entrance of the village, holding an umbrella.

The umbrella used is like a disk with a stick in the center, which cannot be opened or closed. It looks like a mushroom with a thin shaft.

"This is an amazing ship, isn't it?

He said at the beginning of his speech.

"It's foggy today, so I thought I'd come and see how you're doing.

At 10 meters long, the ship is huge.

Adriana felt that it was surprisingly small.

If it was the first time for her to see a ship of this size, she felt that she should have been a little more surprised.

(Come to think of it, I wasn't that surprised when I saw the golem. I wonder if they are more familiar with this kind of magical technology than we thought...)

Adriana is a little alarmed.

"If you would like, you can come with us.　I am the mayor of the village of Sico. My name is Mehto.

My name is Ado. Thank you very much.

After thinking about it for a while, Adriana decided to accept the offer.

It was cold and she wanted to relax for the first time in a long time.

After all, a ship is not a place to live for a long time, especially for a girl of her age. Especially for a girl of her age.

Adriana packed her baggage, including a change of clothes, and as yesterday she ordered F-002 to accompany her to the village of Sico in the rain.

Adriana, who did not have an umbrella, put up a against the liquid.

"I envy you mages!

Mehto, the chief of the village, was impressed this time.

The chief's house was in the center of the village.

The family consisted of four members: a wife and two daughters.

The wife was called Baise, a small, slightly built woman who had the air of a lady.

However, her words and mannerisms were calm and ladylike. Adriana laughed inwardly at the gap between the two.

"Wow, you have a visitor?"

"Beautiful!　Beautiful!

The older one was Marle, who was 18 years old like Adriana, and the younger one was Krull, who was 11 years old.

They both had brown hair like their mother, Bice, and gray eyes like their father, Mehto.

"Hello. Call me Ado."

"Yes, Ado, nice to meet you."

"Ado!"

The three became fast friends. The older sister, Marle, is calm and the younger sister, Krull, is a naughty girl.

"Hey, Krull, did you hurt your knee?"

Adriana noticed that Krull had a cloth wrapped around her right knee. Krull nodded a little embarrassed.

"Yes, I fell and hit it yesterday.

Looking closer, she saw that her right palm also had scuff marks on it.

"Let me see."

Adriana felt that the area where the cloth was not wrapped was a little swollen, so she unwrapped the cloth from Krull's knee.
