Chapter 371 (1/2)

Technician Reiko

Having completed the revision of the magi sequence, Jin recalled the method he used on Laojun.

“Ah right, we can expect more processing power if we increase Reiko’s control core, as well.”

And so, Jin decided to increase Reiko’s control core by 1.

Not like a complete parallel processing unit but rather like a single processor in terms of computer components.

As this core processor will be dealing with all the data regarding the ‘touch’, a burden will lift off of the main control core.

As a safety measure, he also added a feature to be able to shut out touch senses completely.

“Alright, Reiko, try getting up.”

And at long last, the newly born Reiko started moving. Jin went outside with Reiko. And he was relieved to see her movements weren’t crude.

“How do you feel?”

In the wide space in front of the laboratory, Jin asked Reiko how she was feeling.

“Yes, father. It’s amazing. I can feel things around me more than ever before. I can even feel the wind touching my cheeks.”

“I see, then that’s a success. Well then, first, increase your movement speed and check if everything’s alright. First, vertical leaping… Don’t go all out at once, alright?”

“Understood.”

After creating some distance from Jin, Reiko jumped at her spot.

50 centimeters, 60 centimeters, 1 meter. Then 2 meters, 3 meters. And at last, she also jumped 10 meters high.

Judging from how she didn’t make a single sound when landing, it is safe to assume that Reiko is now able to completely control her body.

“That’s good, Reiko. Next.”

Next up is breaking into a run. After running all the way to the edge of the wide area, she changed direction at once and broke into a run again. And at a speed of 100 kmph. And even when she was doing that, her footsteps didn’t make any sound.

“Father, this is wonderful.”

Being able to properly deal with the touch sense data, which was reflecting in her movements, Reiko was also pleased.

“Up till now, I had been extremely careful with my power output but it’s different now. Even when I increase the output, I can control it as I please.”

Saying that, she held up a withered branch from the ground.

“I will try bending this so as to not break it.”

Reiko held the branch with both her index and thumb fingers and slowly started bending it.

“Currently, I am at 100% power output.”

Reiko’s 100% power output can even move a few tons. Regardless of that, the branch hadn’t snapped. She is now able to intricately control her powers to the 0.010%.

“Got it, that’s enough.”

Jin concluded the experiment.

“It’s a huge success. But, in the future, do tell me if you feel even the slightest of a problem.”

“Yes, father.”

With this, Reiko should be able to brandish her sword and combat skills to the max.

“Well, it would be better if you didn’t get a chance to use it, though….”

Wondering what Elsa was doing, Jin peeked into the workshop on the first floor.

“Elsa, how is it… Oh?”

“Ah, Jin-nii.”

Elsa had just finished a mascot body.

“Oho, a doll with black hair, eh?”

Although Jin prepared various colors for the strings used for the hair, Elsa picked black.

It didn’t have clothes on yet. And the black hair, cut until the shoulder, somewhat resembled Reiko.

“I just had something to ask…. I want to mix colors with the fabric but how do I do it?”

“Ah, I see.”

It seems that particular knowledge hadn’t been copied. Jin asked Reiko to bring the dyes.

“Father, is this okay?”

There are liquids in Earth which are used to determine the pH level by change in color but this magic dye changes color based on the magic used on it.

“Ah, yes, that’s fine. Good job.”

Jin took the magic dye from Reiko and started explaining to Elsa.

“Dissolve this into water and soak the cloth in it. While it’s wet, if you apply magic to it, it will turn red. If you further apply magic to it, it will turn orange, yellow, yellow-green, green, blue and so on… before it turns into bluish purple, purple and purplish red at the end. Once the cloth is dyed into a color you like, just dry it and it will stay. But once it is dried, its color won’t change anymore. You can adjust the darkness of the color with the amount of mixed water.”

“Ok, got it.”

Elsa took the dye and tried using it right away.

“Ah, wait a bit.”

“?”

Jin stopped Elsa and had Reiko bring a solution of raw rubber and sulfur this time.

“If you use it like that, it will be quite hard to get rid of the colors off your hands. Besides, girls shouldn’t damage their hands.”

“….Okay.”
