Chapter 372 (2/2)

After processing several times, Elsa finishes the automata’s skeleton. It feels as if she has made something that looks like a mascot doll.

“…How about it, Jin-nii?”

Elsa timidly asks Jin. Jin nods with a gentle smile, and answers.

“It’s a pass! You’ve gotten quite better at this, Elsa.”

Hearing those words, Elsa smiled cheerfully.

“Well, now that this is done, here’s a little trick to help reduce wear in its joints.”

Bringing a little of Adamantite…

“Plating.”

Jin produces a plating on the surface.

“This will reduce friction and increase its durability. Give it a try.”

The rest of the joints were left for Elsa to finish. And Elsa was able to meet that expectation, demonstrating that she is familiar with this technology.

She continued on working for 4 hours with Jin overseeing her work.

“…I made it.”

At last, Elsa finished her first automata. Jin also checked its every detail and gave his approval when he found no problems with it.

It is a boy model, with the same platinum hair Elsa has. They are closed now, but its eyes are blue.

“…How long does it take you to make one of these, Jin-nii?”

Elsa’s question had a hint of relief after having finally finished.

“Hmm… about 1 hour, maybe?”

That is a rather modest estimation. If he were to put all of his effort into it, it wouldn’t take him more than 30 minutes.

However, since Laojun and Smith have finished their preparations, Jin almost never has to start working from scratch.

“…I’ll do my best.”

Jin gently tapped Elsa’s shoulder and said:

“Well then, you’re almost done! Try starting it up.”

Cheering Elsa on with his words.

“Yes. …Start.”

Responding to the keyword, the automata slowly gets up.

“Nice to meet you, Creator.”

“Elsa, give him a name.”

“Yes. …Your name is Edgar.”

“Understood, my name is Edgar.”

Thus, Edgar was born as Elsa’s first automata.

Reiko seems to be pleased as she watches the scene. Perhaps it brings her memories of the time when she was created.

Elsa is not aware of it, but Edgar’s Control System is the same that Soleil and Luna have.

Thanks to the TransInfo conducted for Jin’s official disciples, it’s possible to use the Adriana System’s Control System.

Elsa does not know what this means, though.

Similarly, Jin doesn’t know either. That’s why Reinhart had told them that it’s important to know the world’s standards.

Such similar people had become teacher and student.

Now, returning to the story…

“Well, time to get him dressed.”

Edgar was still naked.

“Well, you might not be too familiar with men’s clothing, plus I haven’t got much more time. Let me make his clothes for you, Elsa. Just as a way to celebrate you finishing your first automata.”

Jin fetches some Ground Spider silk from the shelves and quickly produces some trunks. Then he makes a T-shirt out of knitted fabrics. He also makes sure to apply some rubber to the trunks.

This takes him about 5 minutes, by the way.

After looking at Jin’s display, Elsa began to feel her self-confidence wavering. But she soon got back on her feet.

“…One day, I’ll be able to do that too.”

Elsa’s ability to not be discouraged might be her strongest point.

The jacket is black and looks like a blazer. The bow tie makes him look like the son of a lord.

“Well, that’s done.”

“…So cool!”

Elsa’s first automata, Edgar, was standing there like looking like a young boy from the Showa era.

Black blazer, black trousers. A black bow tie over a white shirt. And white socks under the black shoes.

“Thank you very much, Jin-sama.”

Edgar bows as he says that. It seems that his behavior has been established.
