Volume 11 Chapter 182 (1/2)
Damien and Old Letarta
Preparing to depart for the Guild request to of Damien and old Letarta, who had dropped by the manor
I thought it best they get acquainted, but I felt this was a failure And not in a bad sense
At the table of the parlor, Damien unraveled the blueprints, and heatedly declared to Letarta
”As I thought… we need so to be stuck with nothing but large racks, so I think this is an iive soanic body parts”
As he said that with a serious expression, oldthe pervert…
”That one goes without saying If they all have the saanic parts, was it? That one's out of my jurisdiction I'll make the skeletons however you order, but… will they be covered with organic body all over that?”
(T-that ithout saying!?)
”It's impossible I can't help but require soreat Their automatons completely resemble humans, after all Well, can't we eable?”
When Damien reluctantly compromised on that, Letarta nodded
”There's no helping it If I get too particular on it, it'll never be finished in my lifespan In that case, up to here is…”
As Letarta drew a line across the blueprint, Shannon looked on with interest While her eyes usually couldn't see, her taking interest in a sight
”What's so interesting?”
”Right It's interesting because I can see the lines on the prints the maid prepared I can even see the letters and numbers The places that have been written over and a but a h”
Hearing that, I looked at the diagram On top of the line Letarta drew, Damien crossed another line
”Can you see what he just added? The line he drew?”
”Nope”
She gave an iht of so
『Hmm This may just be… Lyle, was Shannon able to write letters and numbers? No, could she understand them?』
He asked me whether Shannon was able to read or write, so I tapped the Jeith ertip I showed my denial, so the Seventh spoke quite disappointed
But it didn't sound like he had given up
『Then it'll take so it We'll have to put so her』
(Teach the blind girl how to read?)
I was curious as to what the Seventh was thinking, but seeing the two heating up before me, I became a little anxious
”So that'll be like that, and in that case, to make a trial product… the first unit will take two to three months”
Damien nodded satisfactorily at Letarta's estimate
”Looks about right The price would be… around five thousand in gold? It's a little over budget, but so be it After that, we'll need a series of experiments before we can make the next one”
Hearing their talk
”Eh, wait a old coins over your initial estimate, isn't it?”
I said that to the two, a cold sweat breaking out on my back But they were both all smiles
”Because we don't yet have an environether I'll assist however I can But it'll cost you Even after the preparations to enerally take around a thousand per model”
”What I gave you before was an absolute minimum If we don't do this o do your best collecting up funds again Meanwhile, I and this craftshts than ever before! Now then, next is about the appearance, but…”
”Since we're at it, how about being a bit ht, but I'd like a little more playfulness to it”
”Playfulness… right! That's vital!”
Watching them fire up even more, I wiped h
(It's no good At this rate, we're certainly going bankrupt I can earn an extent with nor coals)
The guild had recognized her difficulty were circulating around to her, but even that wasn't sufficient money
”C-could the two be a little more prudent…”
There, Damien turned to me
”I am I'll just thrown this out there, but if I was up to it, the first unit could cost ten thousand gold, you knowAh, but… since we're doing it anyways, would that be better? The prototype has got to be the the dream of all men”
Old man Letarta shook his head
”I'll like theto do about this probleuarantee a perfect product, but there's nothing lost in investing it in”
I was about to choose the cheaper option, but the Fourth unexpectedly chimed in with a serious voice
『… Lyle, spend ten thousand here And have these trite up a contract The rights to all technology and skills gained here belong to Lyle You'll be able to fish Da with the next batch of financial aid For the old ether』
When I thought he was being lenient with money, Milleia-san's voice came from the Jewel
『Ohscheed, I see』
On her delighted voice, the Fourth
『No shi+t! Even if there may be a personality problem, the two you have in this room are the best mind and skill you'll ever find! If you keep theet out of it! … And even if you fail, it wasn't even youra bit shouldn't hurt too much』
(It isn't just a bit!)
Right
It was Vera's money So I wanted to value it aswith the Fourth's opinion
The Third didn't sound interested
『If it's , that's the Fourth's job All his』
The Fifth uninterested as well
『Agreed』
The Seventh alone see
『Monopolization on the craft… no, you're preparing them to sell So you want to do e couldn't do in Aruold isn't soe There are plenty of rich folk in Beim』
I covered my face with my left hand, and spoke to the two of them
”I'll take the ten thousand gold course However, all the techniques gained this tio to h”
There, Damien raised both his hands in joy
”As expected of Lyle! You really do get it!”
Old man Letarta looked happy as well
”It's nice how you're not concerned about thetime!”
Seeing them rejoice, I dropped my shoulders, and Shannon called out to me
”Looks like you have it rough too”
Seeing her touch a hand to her h at me, I smiled as well
”Fro lessons”
And said that
”Why!? Don't you feel ashairl!?”

I left the golem matter to Damien and Letarta, I went down to the infor
As always, I took Miranda along, and as always, we paid the reward to Rauno-san's assistant, Innis the gnome
In his workroom/bedroom, I accepted a report
Miranda looked through it
”You've looked into quite a wide range there You sure you haven't left anything unchecked?”
Rauno-san waved his left hand with a sleepy look on his face
