Vol 4 Chapter 57 (1/2)

Lyle’s Answer

We came to Damien’s research laboratory

Today, we caroup of me, Novem, Aria, Miranda, Poyopoyo, and even Clara

The reason we brought Clara along was because the Third was quite insistent

At the lab, Damien looked at Porter, and watched itthe opinion of Damien the Doll User

Whether it was suitable for being baggage-carrier plus shi+eld We wanted his confirmation

The fault of our party was that we didn’t have anyone to act as a shi+eld in battle At the sae

When I thought ofa doll to compensate for our lack of manpower, the first question that came to mind hether it had to be humanoid or not

After looking over the golem, he came over to me

For so the room, 【No 1】, 【No 2】, and 【No 3】 were on standby near him

Their eyes occasionally pointed at Novem

“Do you plan on altering it any further than this?”

I nodded

“I tried running several trials in the labyrinth, but I think it would be best if I upped the size”

Porter was still an incomplete product

I took it into the labyrinth several ti Poyopoyo firmly requested, so I carried out such tests

“I think this is good enough as a prototype Bu it really has been made to specialize on Arumsaas’ labyrinth, I’m doubtful of whether it would be useful elsewhere”

Labyrinths vary greatly based on the location With its relatively flat flooring, Arumsaas’ one was a relatively rare type

But for noe held clearing the thirtieth floor of this labyrinth as our goal I think Porter’s fine like that

If the need arises, I’ll make more improvements

“I think I’ll go with a specialized type for now So, what are your thoughts having moved it around?”

As he maneuvered Porter around the wide laboratory, Daer

“There shouldn’t be a problem forit for any support more skilled than the main body of adventurers, but… it heally is a handful to useDamien told me there was a problem with its size”

If I was the one using it, then that was fine, or so I thought…

From within the Jewel, I heard a voice

The Fourth was regretful

『daht we could increase the popularity and deic all at once… but it looks like there’s a problem』

Right

The Fourth was delightfully putting together a plan to rake in money

For that sake, he tried asking me to make it so other adventurers could use it

“If it’s that library girl over there, then…”

Damien looked at Clara

However…

“… No, I guess that’s no good If you stick a shi+eld onto it, then the load will increase even further No, maybe just barely…”

Daht

And Novem spoke

“How about you try teaching Clara-san goleic? She probably has an aptitude for it and all”

Can he really just let other people learn his ic so easily?

That’s what I thought, but Damien followed her words

“That’s right It would be quicker just to test it Library girl, I’ll teach you, so try using it”

… He was that sort of guy

Clara let out a sigh as she spoke

“Hah… I never thought I would be being taught ic like this”

Clara was taught gole Porter on the spot

Seeing that, Poyopoyo…

“Ah, our Porter is… the fruit of me and that chicken’s love is…!”

Started putting on a play by herself, so I ignored her Miranda-san looked on the scene, and gave her impression

“Isn’t that nice? For it being your first ti nicely”

Dareed

“Yes, as that woman over there said, you have some talent”

Hearing that, Aria spoke to him

“That woman over there… Miranda-san was your student, wasn’t she?”

He turned back to Miranda-san, and…

“Was that so? Huh? I get the feeling I kinda know her, but kinda… I think a person like her would leave an ie it is”

He tilted his head in wonder, and Miranda-san started s

“How cruel, professor But how fitting of you I’m relieved”

I heard a voice from the Jewel

It was the Fifth

『It’s because the feeling she gave off changed all of a sudden She’s started to draandering eyes She’s quite reminiscent of Milleia, you know… her personality’s a little different, though』

It seehtly off, but these ancestors were equating her to Milleia-san more, and more

Clara gave her thoughts

“I canthose, it feels heavy Nore isn’t a problem”

Damien nodded

“I ree, right? If it’s barely passable at that level, then you’ll have to make it smaller for a normal person to use If you want to cut the Mana cost, then there are a few areas you should work on But the wheels sure are nice”

He praised it

Poyopoyo grinned, as she took fleeting glances at the other three automatons

They werebut that these guys really had some complicated craftsmanshi+p put into them

And Damien reached his conclusion

“If you want it to be usable by standard adventurers, it has to be s shorter, and have itfashi+on? If you do that, it won’t mover around too much”

When dolls and goleeable opinions

Miranda-san spoke

“In that case, for now, you’ll continue to stay in the storeroo on porter?”

I nodded, but before that, I had a few things planned

“I’llthe labyrinth in the near future If I don’t et that I’m an adventurer”

Recently, I’d been earning se in the labyrinth

If there were adventurers wanting to take heavy baggage in order to dive deep into it, I would load it onto Porter, and take it up to the fifth floor for them

I took silver coins as thanks, and on the return back up, I would pick up other returning adventurers I earned even more silver there

The Fourth skillfully calculated the sum that the adventurers we met could pay, and we ran a business like that

It wasn’t just once or twice that I was asked to seriously tag along as support for gold

And hearing those requests, the Fourth started considering changing our stock

Damien looked at Porter

“You’ve given ht, you sure are interesting, Lyle Oh, right… it’s about that boss’s armor, but there’s a whole piece that’s been left here You’ll buy it, right? It’s in the way, so if you’ll take it off our hands, the academy will make it cheap”

As long as there was enough left to study, they didn’t need any more, or so he said

The e quantities from the boss was sold to me with Damien as an intermediary

Novem spoke

“Recently, Lyle-sa a stable income, so we should be fine to an extent”

Seeing her laughing to herself, I wanted to make an excuse, but I stopped myself

A de out orders at me, so I didn’t have a choice Fro as I could test out Porter

The Fourth spoke

『There’s stillon Porter for a while, we’ll be on break for a while… even e finally gained a stream of customers』

While I was surprised at his abilities, I was an adventurer I had soPorter out on the market

(I’ll have to talk to him later)

While I thought that, I continued my talk with Damien

Miranda and Aria had started talking about recent times

“Aria, you’re ated as of late”
