Chapter 295. Completion of trade ship (3) For some reason, let's ask why.
“...It's not really a big deal.”
“I really like nothing. So tell me.”
“Actually.... My grandfather used to travel to various places as a hobby when he was young.”
“Yep.”
To summarize Asha's explanation, it was as follows.
Asha's grandfather must have had a hobby of traveling to various places when he was young.
I haven't been to really dangerous places, but I've been to all the places I can still go.
It seems that Asha's grandfather eventually dreamed of traveling to another continent outside the continent.
However, it is said that the ship that carried him when he was young at the time sailed bravely, but was caught by the Kraken and ran aground.
Fortunately, my grandfather was unharmed, but he seemed to have grown tired of his stomach, as if he had worked hard at the time.
After that, I returned to the mansion and said to Asha, who was still young, ‘A boat is scary.
Don't get on the boat.'
“…is it just because of that?”
After hearing it, I felt a bit weak.
I thought there was some serious reason.
no what It seems that Grandpa Asha did the hard work.
I never thought I would hate pears so much just from the education I received as a child.
“I know that's a false prejudice.”
Isn't it a big deal if you don't know at that age?
“But anyway… I was shocked when I was young. So, for some reason, I keep thinking about what my grandfather said that ships always sink, so I feel uncomfortable.”
Asha's grandfather No matter what, that's not it!
“It was to the extent that he often said, “Bad children are sent on a boat
.”
Thanks to that, young Asha seems to have suffered quite a bit of trauma.
This is why education at a young age is so important.
By the way, I'm curious about Ashara as a child.
Come to think of it, the elixir that I stopped researching in the past because I was bothered... Shall I catch it again?
Asha.”
Dia, who had been listening to Asha's childhood story in silence, quietly approached.
Oh, do you want to say something as a colleague?
“it's okay.”
“yes?”
“No matter what happens, if I have you, you can escape by flying.”
....is that comforting?
This is the moment when you slightly doubt whether the camaraderie between them really exists.
“Yes!”
“Do you understand that again?”
Seeing Asha's complexion brighten...
I wonder if that's what happened.
No, even if you don't worry about that, you won't sink!
In the first place, Asha's grandfather must have been on an ordinary wooden sailboat!
And how many decades ago was that?
Technology was different then and now.
And my stomach is different from that.
I can't.
Come on, I have to show you how good this ship is.
“Anyway, let’s talk about watching the ship move. ruler! Set sail at once!”
“Oh Arell! First of all, there are still seats left for the speech.”
Jelsen said in bewilderment.
This guy prepared something useless.
For some reason, I don't know why, but the sailors were waiting in line, not an army of any kind.
“...Why did you prepare such a troublesome thing? It’s a waste of time, let’s pass.”
Minor procedures are annoying, so I passed and ordered the ship to move.
“Enough with the speech, show me the boat moving. ruler! Show me what you've been training for!”
“yep!”
The sailors chanted vigorously at my command and moved busily.
I raised the anchor holding the ship and started the mana engine.
Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo rang .
the sound of the engine running
The advantage of the Mana Engine is that it is quiet.
Thanks to that, it is so quiet that you can even hear the sound of breaking the waves.
In fact, there is no feeling that the noise reduction technique is a little overdone.
Well, thanks to that, it's comfortable, so there's no problem?
Some people think that there is no romance in a quiet engine, but I am the opposite.
Quiet is good.
So you can take a nap
Feeling a little swaying, the boat we were on slowly backed away and slowly changed direction.
“Ooooh! It really moves.”
“I see.... The steering gear for changing direction is also detailed.”
“...isn't it sinking?”
As voices of admiration and still needless worry mingled on deck, the Peser Thin finally began to move straight ahead.
It seems that the speed is slow, but first of all, it is only moving slowly on purpose because it is a pilot operation.
However, at maximum speed, it can be five times faster than this.
Based on this speed and load capacity, they trade hotter.
That is the key to the next intercontinental trade at Arnil Firm.
In fact, there were several other merchants besides the former Geotal Corporation that attempted long-distance trade between continents.
However, it seems that almost all of them have failed except for Geotal Corporation.
I wish I had been more successful.
If so, this place would have developed a little faster.
If it's a pity to do it, now we can do it.
In the future, Arnil Corporation will be at the forefront of its development.
There are undoubtedly many items worth bringing in, including spices and various crops and specialties.
Even crops that cannot be traded due to existing storage problems can be transported by using my boat.
It will undoubtedly yield huge profits.
Of course, this trade plan is not without my selfishness.
70% is my personal interest.
There is a limit to the luxury goods that can be made with what can be obtained through the influence of the existing Ernesia Kingdom.
I just hope to be able to create new symbols.
“This one ship alone will show the amount of transport comparable to the entire Grand fleet of Geothal Corporation.”
Just then, Zelsen rubbed his hands together and began explaining the benefits of this ship.
“What's surprising about that is that it's not just this one ship that was built.” After saying that, Viscount Gernil and Helmin nodded together.
“I heard that too. Are there three more?”
“Four ships of this size...
I am amazed. Four mana engines in one ship. Sixteen in total. Thanks to that, the mage tower's life has improved.”
And that money was invested in cutting the heads of black magicians or something.
I'm not particularly sorry, warlocks.
“By the way, Mr. Arell, why did you paint this ship so black?”
While everyone was admiring, Viscount Gernil asked me if I had any trivial doubts.
It seems that he wondered why the ship was painted black.
“I thought it wouldn’t be strange if it was a bit more fancy if it was Arel-sama’s preference.”
“Oh, that? It's not that there's no reason.
Actually, I've been thinking about doing gilding, if possible, but... I know. I know that's a real bad taste, right?”
It's such a strange thing.
What's wrong with gold chil? It's shiny and nice.
“After thinking about what would be the most practical color for the boat, I ended up choosing black.”
“I see… there must be a reason.
ah! Of course, I didn't think there was no reason for Arel-nim's actions.”
Is there a reason for gold lacquer?
Well, after considering practicality, it ended up being black.
“It's a flaw that it's rough on the outside, but if it's black, it won't be noticeable at night.”
“Isn’t it important to be visible?”
It was Helmin who asked this question.
“no. Even if it is during the day, it is dangerous to be noticed at night. Especially a ship that does long-distance trade like this.”
“What the hell... Oh, I see.”
When I emphasized the night, Helmin widened her eyes in agreement.
“I see... you're not making the monsters stand out?”
“That's right.”
The worst enemy of long-distance trade.
There are two of them, one is pirate.
Another is a monster.
It's a pirate. There's no problem because we plan to train and send more than a certain number of soldiers on this ship.
Weapons were also developed in line with naval warfare.
Rather, it was the monsters that were more troublesome than the pirates.
They are even more prevalent in uninhabited places.
It's not a problem since it's vigilant during the day, but if it's attacked at night, the damage is great.
In fact, it is said that the time when trading ships suffer the most damage is at night.
That's why it's common sense not to sail at night if possible.
With that in mind, it was decided to paint it black on purpose so that it wouldn't stand out at night.
I'd like to at least develop the camouflage technique, but it's too early.
It can be dangerous if misused.
After all, this is just a ship for trade.
I have no intention of letting it be used for any other purpose.
“Anyway, today is the first time this ship moves. So I hope you all enjoy the experience of the new ship.”
I said that with a little excitement, looking forward to the changes that were to come.
?
Since it was a test drive, we decided to show only light navigation capabilities.
We plan to go around the small uninhabited island in front of the port city as it is, and then return.
That's because it's still working as a test run.
With today's operation, we plan to find and supplement the points of improvement and start trading in earnest as soon as possible.
Helmin, wanting to see the condition of the Mana Engine, went to the engine room with my permission.
Viscount Gernil also headed somewhere else, as if he wanted to see something else.
Well, it's free to watch, so I'm uncomfortable with the stiff atmosphere.
I've done enough appeals about ships, so I guess I can let them roam around freely from now on.
I am also leaning against the railing in front of the deck, enjoying the sea breeze.
yes this is the real sea
It's definitely different from that dank smell of the harbor.
A huge ship crossing the waves coolly without any problems and a cool sea breeze.
Well, I have a hunch that there will only be good gains.
“How are you guys? Isn’t the feeling of running across the sea pretty good?”
I asked the person in my aide who had stayed on deck with me.
“The feeling of looking down from a high place is quite strange. I feel like a giant monster.”
“Hmm, that’s a strange feeling.”
It also felt like there was nothing I couldn't understand.
When I heard it, it seems to be the case.
“Arel. I will use magic for a moment of comfort.”
In her spare time, Dia used magic to block the sun's rays and various auxiliary magics to make it a pleasant test voyage.
This also provides perfect UV protection.
Surprisingly, UV protection magic is also often used in Pahelia.
It is essential to work in snowy areas outside the city.
High practicality.
Seina also seems to be enjoying the scenery around her.
And when it comes to Asha.
“....how is it? Isn’t it worth taking a boat?”
Asha, who grew up with the trauma of a ship she had never been on before due to useless early education in her childhood, at first walked around on the ship as if she was trembling, but her expression gradually loosened up soon.
It is only now that I understand with my body that the boat is not all that dangerous.
“As Arel-sama said, the feeling of running is not bad. The scenery is beautiful.”
“yes? Well, it's a sight you can't see in a port full of rotten fish.”
If possible, I thought that it would be okay to start a cruise ship tourism business at all.
However, in reality, there are many monsters and dangers, so it was not that easy to tour the surrounding scenery by boat, so I gave up for now.
“I think it was my superficial prejudice that ships were definitely dangerous.”
“yes?”
I'm glad you know
“It definitely feels new.”
“That's the taste of riding a boat.”
“Yeah, I feel dizzy and a little sick in my head!”
Asha closed her eyes as if she was impressed by something.
No matter how you look at it...
“...that's just motion sickness.”
At Seina's suggestion, Dia sighed and cast a healing spell on the pale Asha.
It seems that what I need to develop is not something useless, but a medicine for motion sickness.
....Before that, I think Asha's nature doesn't match the sea.
