Ray asked for the renovation of the sandboat as a reward, but in Dusker's opinion he needed a large number of people to do it... not just ordinary people, but alchemists and wizards, and he didn't know how much material he needed.
　Personally, I wanted to take on Ray's unreasonable request, but it was also true that there were not enough physical resources in the current situation where many of Guilm's personnel were allocated to the extension work.
　That's why Ray, Marina and Vihela can't immediately agree to pay for the extension.
　In the extensions currently taking place in Gilm, Ray is doing the work of dozens of people...or hundreds of people if he is not good at it.
　And Ray's demon Sett protects Gillum, whose boundaries have disappeared, from monsters flying in the sky like Harpy.
　Marina, too, had performed considerably, if not as well, with her highly applied magic of spirits.
　Vichela, if not as many as the other two, still patrols the guillem and quells the troubles caused by bloody adventurers, craftsmen, or those looking for a day job, and is a kind of deterrent.
　It was certain that the rewards commensurate with these three men's work would be substantial.
　Dusker asked me to repair the sandboat so that I could use the reward, but I still couldn't easily nod.

"I know what Ray wants to pay. But, still, it is a little difficult to repair the sandboat as a reward."

　Ray opens his mouth with a smile as he approaches Dasker.

"It may be like that at first, but what if we could build a sandboat that could run on the ground with guillem? It would be one of Guillem's new industries."
"That's... well, I'm sure." If we could move a ship on the ground normally, we would be able to demonstrate great power in transporting goods. But do you think it will be so easy?"

　In Rey's words, Dusker says so with a difficult look.
　In fact, building sandboats alone requires considerable technical skill.
　In itself, Ray has a sandboat, so it will be possible to obtain a technical accumulation by analyzing it.
　But it goes without saying that building sandboats from scratch and allowing them to move on the ground... is very difficult.
　That's why Dusker couldn't say it was so easy for Ray.

"I don't know about that. All I can do is make a proposal. However, if things go well, I can see that Gilmoo will have a big industry."
"Well, if other places try to imitate you, that sandboat... no, surfaceboat? landship? Anyway, if you take advantage of the guillem's location to make it, it's going to be difficult."

　Marina told him to supplement Ray's words, and those who heard them certainly nodded.
　In fact, the only remote city in the kingdom of Milliana, Gilm, would benefit greatly if things went as Marina said.
　If you try to make the same thing elsewhere, you will definitely have to get the material from the guillem, which will definitely add up the cost of transportation and other costs.
　Furthermore, it will benefit Guillum the more the material was sold.
　If that happens, it will be very difficult to compete with Gilm in business.
　However, even if you don't care about the materials of the frontier, if you find any alternative materials, it's a different story.

"Well, can I do that?" But, as I said, I can't do anything about it now. I can't handle the extension work. This basket has put a great deal of strain on the alchemist."
"Yes, I know that. So I won't ask you to do it right now. It doesn't matter if you settle down to some extent."
"Well... I see. No, I can't answer you now to do it, but I'll still consider it. It's a story of this scale, and I can't judge it by myself because I'm spending a lot of money on the addition of the guillem. However, I personally would like to try it if possible."

　There's no lie in Dusker's words.
　Ray also felt that he wanted to try it, not just by words.
　But it's only natural.
　If guillem could improve sandboats, it would undoubtedly become a major industry in guillem, as Ray said.

(The sandboat itself is a very expensive thing. I don't think it's going to sell well because I made it.)

　Ray thought that way, but his main goal is to have his sandboat repaired, and everything else is just a bonus.
　Of course I proposed it because I had no chance of winning.
　Gillum's alchemists have a very high level of technology, because they can easily use rare materials from the frontier, even though they are not as good as the Empire of Bestia or the magical city of Ozos.
　Indeed, it was Gillum's alchemist who made Ray's twilight spear.
　That being the case, Ray thought it would never be impossible to build a sandboat out of guillem.

"Well, for the time being, let's talk about sandboats. I'm motivated, but if it's impossible, I'll cover it with something else, so don't worry."
"I don't think Dusker will deceive us, so I don't worry about that."

　Marina tells Dusker that with an old familiarity.
　At Marina's words, Dusker looked slightly displeased.
　It is because I understand that if you misrepresent your reward, something will definitely happen to you.
　Marina is known for what Dusker calls black history.
　Given the possibility of hearing it, Dusker can't be thoughtless.

"Don't worry,"

　repeat the same words one uttered a few seconds ago
　However, the level of sincerity contained in the words was clearly different.
　Marina, who smiled a little at Dusker's appearance, must have decided to let the irritation go. reopen one's mouth

"For the time being, let's stop talking about this. Can you show me the basket that I'm going to use this time? I need to prepare a lot of things."
"... well, I'm afraid I'll have to go back to work. I don't know much about magic items either. I've called the alchemist who made it, and you'll hear the details from him."

　Then Dusker gets up from the sofa where he was sitting and goes back to his desk.
　There was still a pile of papers there, and it was clear that they were going to deal with them.
　At the same time, the door knocks.

"Excuse me, Mr. Dusker. I heard you are calling me."
"Oh, of course you know Ray, who uses the magic items you made. Tell me about the magic items."
"Oh, I see,"

　The alchemist who told me so looked tired.
　When they see such a man, they look at him and say, "Are you sure you're all right?"

"Ray, this is Amaros. Amaros, I have ordered it."

　That tells Dusker to get back to work in earnest.

"All right. Okay, let's go. The basket has been brought into the warehouse."

　Following Amaros, who guides them, the Rays leave the office.
　Bune had put in his mouth all the last pastries, but no one noticed them.
　Then they walk inside the lord's residence, go outside, and then enter one of the buildings on the premises.
　Ray thought there might be Seto nearby, but Seto... and Yero doesn't seem to be coming either.Buildings on the premises are of a certain size.
　However, there are many things inside, just like warehouses.
　However, it was not that they were left in the warehouse, but many people came in and out of the warehouse or brought various things into the warehouse.

"A lot of people come and go,"
"Yes, as you know, I'm busy with extensions. There are many things related to it in this warehouse."

　Ray intended to mutter to himself, but Amaros must have heard it. come back to me with that way

"Well... and the basket?"
"Over there,"

　Looking tired, Amaros pointed to a basket at the end of the warehouse.
　It was really literally the right thing to describe as a basket.
　However, it is not a so-called knitted basket, but a basket made of leather.
　...and in this case that part made of the leather of the Marderchameleon was the most important thing.

"Is this the leather of the Marder Chameleon?"

　To the muttering Ray, Amaros nods back.

"Yes, but it was a lot of rush work... and its performance is not satisfactory. You cannot boot directly with magic, so you have to use magic stones, and it takes about a minute to change the color to suit your surroundings."
"I've heard of the Mystery from Mr. Dusker, but I've never heard that it takes so long to change colors."

　Ray looked a little dissatisfied, but he didn't even get angry.
　If you look at Amaros, you can see he's really working to the limit, and most importantly, if you're flying, changing colors isn't a big disadvantage even if it takes about a minute.
　If you're moving around in the woods, it's probably a big disadvantage that it takes a minute to change colors. That's enough to be judged useless.
　However, unlike the ground, the color around the sky is basically not that different.
　Of course, if you observe it carefully, you may notice it, but if you ask if someone is looking at the sky that closely, you should say it's not zero, but it's infinitely small.
　That's why Ray didn't seem to care that much when he was told it would take a minute to change color. However...

"Did you know that the alteration of this basket is to be done after the extension of the guillem?"
"Yes, of course. To be honest, I was pressed for time for this job, and it wasn't very satisfying."

　A little chagrined... no, she nods to Amaros' words, perhaps even more chagrined when she includes parts that are not on her face.

"Well, I don't mind if you know. For the time being, this basket is a trial run. So if there's anything you're interested in, I'll teach you about it at a later date and renovate it. Wouldn't that be the case?"
"Well, that makes me feel a little better."

　Ray's words probably made me feel a little better.
　Amaros smiles a little but tiring face.
　In Amaros's place, if he is told to repair the basket here, he cannot do it right away.
　But Ray's position is enough to make it possible.
　We've shown that much strength and track record, and besides, Ray is now having a party.
　That being the case, its power may increase, but it will not decrease.
　Amaros must have been glad that Ray had retreated more easily than he had expected.
　It's probably a big reason that I can't afford it physically.

"The... of the basket, you know, will Seto grab the top?"
"Yes, it is," and this is the entrance."

　Tell him so, Amaros gently presses part of the side of the basket.
　Then the door opens inward.

"Well... that's where the door is?"
"Yes. Well, it's hard to get in and out from above."

　Following the guidance of Aromas, the lays go straight into the basket.
　It was actually shaped to be called a basket.
　The room is large enough for four to five people to sit on, but not for sleeping.
　Then there was a box on which to throw the talc, and some talc was piled up.

(Two tatami mats... No, it's a little smaller than three tatami mats? I heard it was made from the leather of the Marder Chameleon, but I wonder how many of them were separated.)

　Thinking so, Ray asks Amaros.

"And what is the name of this basket?"
"Ah... I'm sorry, but I just call it a basket now because I couldn't afford to name it elaborate. If possible, I hope Ray and his colleagues will give them the right name."

　He scratched his head shyly, smiling on his tired face.
