"Thank you, Marcia."

Back at Nido Castle, Jin formally thanked Marcia for accomplishing his request and paid her fee. He also made Barbara and the others pay for theirs.

"No, thank you. It was a good learning experience.

Marcia replied with a smile.

This concludes the whole assignment.

"Are you going back to Potrock?"

Marcia smiles a little sadly and replies.

"Yeah, I guess so. I'm going back to ......, though I'm kind of sad.

Marcia says, "I'm worried about the store, too.

"My dad used to come home sometimes," she says.

<

"It seemed to be business as usual for the most part."

Marcia laughed, saying that Arrow, Arco, Vail and the others were excellent.

"But I'm a little sad to say goodbye to the kids from the village I've become friends with.

I understand that feeling,

"It doesn't mean you won't see them again, and since there is a warp gate, you can come visit us anytime you want.

"Yes, you're right. Jin, thank you."

And as a final touch, Marcia concluded, I'll check the workings of Jin's golem and return to Potrock.

"Okay."

So Jin immediately set about building a golem to steer the ship.

The idea was already in the works and the materials were already prepared.

With Reiko as his assistant, Jin begins to work quite seriously on the project.

He decided to make the golem out of 64 light silver, since it should be as light as possible for a golem to steer a ship.

The skeleton is also made with a hollow core to reduce weight.

For the muscles, we decided to use threads based on those of the ground spider, which is a light material.

Compared to the leather of the demons used in Horai Island, it can be made 40% lighter. Although the upper limit of the power that can be produced is less than half, it is still several times stronger than that of an ordinary golem.

In order to make it light, the figure will be of a neutral boy type, approximately 140 cm tall and 35 kg in weight.

The trimaran and the pleasure boat, each dedicated to two individuals.

It took Jin about 20 minutes to complete the job.

"You're still incredibly fast, aren't you, Jin?

"Jin-dono is the master of gin. ......"

"......"

Marcia and Rodrigo were impressed, while Tiberio, who was still getting used to it, was absolutely amazed.

* * * * * *

"There we go. Let's name them ......<>1 and 2."

To distinguish them by color, Sailor 1 was reddish gold and Sailor 2 was whitish gold.

"Jin, what is the name of the ship?"

"Oh, I hope Marcia will name it for me.

Jin thought that he still wanted the creator to name the ship.

"Hmmm...yes. How about for the trimaran and for the pleasure boat?

"Yes, that sounds good."

Halcyon is for kingfishers and Anatola is for ducks.

They would go well with the intrepid trimaran and the stout pleasure boat, Jin thought.

So he inscribed <<> on the boat respectively. > on each boat.

"Now we should build a landing place and a warehouse at a suitable location on the Hermes River.

Jin decided that the best location would be by the bridge, so he quickly made arrangements.

Ten craftsman (smith) golems arrived from Horai Island and set to work.

"Well, are you sure about Marcia?"

"What?"

The golem that rows the experimental boat.

"Oh, I see. ...... No, I'll call the Arrow to help you when I'm done here.

"So you'll be here a little while longer?"

Yeah, for a couple of days.

Marcia laughed and said, "I want to make sure the ship is in good working order, in case there are any unexpected problems.

"Okay."

Hitoshi liked and appreciated Marcia's sense of responsibility.

Jin then turned to Tiberio.

"How was it working with Marcia and Rodrigo, Tiberio?"

"It was fun. ...... so much so that I would like to work with them for a long time to come."

Tiberio says with a slight smirk.

"Yes, he's really dedicated. He's good at what he does and he can use a little bit of engineering magic.

Rodrigo also acknowledged Tiberio.

Jin thought that was good enough,

"Well, ...... then, why don't you go work for Marcia?"

He said, "Yes!

"By all means!

Tiberio nodded his head in a short but enthusiastic voice.

"Yes, that would be great. We're actually short on staff at ......."

Soon it will be summer with more orders, Marcia said, and they may not be able to meet their deadlines if they don't do this.

"Besides, it was fun working with Tiberio."

"I see. I see. So that's not a problem."

If that's what everyone wanted, Jin thought, it would be best,

"Then I'll teach you a little bit of engineering magic. "Then I'll teach you a little engineering magic, and you'll be a more effective worker in Marcia's workshop," he suggested.

He accepted the offer.

The proposal was accepted without hesitation, and Jin decided to start training on Horai Island the next day.

The next day, he decided to go to Horai Island for a special training session.

"Wow, this is fun!

"This is fun!"

The children on board the , piloted by Sailor 2, were cheering at the Ermee River.

"Hmmm, you're doing a good job of flying this thing, aren't you?

"Yes, it's Jin's work, isn't it? I have no problem steering the Sailor 2.

And from upstream, <, loaded with magi sand, returns with Sailor 1 at the helm.

On board are Barbara and Lu.

"Jin-san, Marcia-san, you're doing great!

"Barbara, don't let your body get cold, it will affect your baby.

"Don't worry. I'm not in the water and Ruu is with me.

Luu, from the village of Lalio, is the adopted daughter of the village chief Giebeck and the healer Sally, who is herself training to be a healer.

"Well, that's all right then, isn't it?　But be careful, okay?"

"I know. I know, but be careful. Today is the ship we commissioned, so I was only allowed on board as a representative first. From now on, I'll leave it to Kana, Sema and Berta."

Barbara said, and moved easily from the to the shore.

A fresh breeze blows under a blue sky in the village of Kaina. Summer was almost here.
