"...... what's this?"

"......," he said, "I guess it's not good enough."

　Jin made a trophy in the shape of a radio tower bearing the name of the capital of Japan.

　No, it looks more like an ornament sold in a souvenir shop than a trophy.

"...... redo."

　Again, Jin re-created it by <
.

"......What's this this time?

"......Five-story pagoda."

　It looked like a souvenir, so he remade it again.

The previous one was a joke. This time I'm serious."

　It's a good thing that it's engineering magic, but if it had been a mold or a one-off production, it would have been an unbelievable amount of time and effort.

"<>"

"Oh, it looks good this time."

"Oh, it does?"

　A horse at the bottom, a dog on top, a cat on top, and a chicken at the top.

　The motif is based on a certain music band that many people in the know are familiar with. By the way, the original is not a horse but a donkey.

"But it's still something different. ......"

"Oh, what a waste!"

"...... is it?"

　Since Erza seemed to like it, Jin gave the object to Erza and decided to use another platinum nugget.

"<>"

"Oh, it's beautiful."

"...... is it?"

　Once Jin went back to the basics, he tried to imagine a common <>.

　In other words, a deep champagne glass (flute shape) with handles on either side of the body and a bird with outstretched wings on the lid.

　The body was shallowly engraved with a laurel pattern and the Chinese characters for <>.

"You like this one?"

I've never seen it before.

　Apparently, there is no custom of using a cup for victory in this world.

　In that respect, it seems to have developed differently from Earth.

"But I guess so. ......"

　The fact that it is not an original design is a bit of a problem, but I couldn't come up with a better idea, so I decided to go with it.

　However, I decided not to use the characters "<>". It would not be readable in Chinese characters, and it was not a <> cup.

"<>, so I'll put ......MM in the design."

"Ah, that's a good idea for my brother Jin.

"Can I say thank you ......?"

"Hmmm..."

　With such a casual exchange of ideas, the trophy for the <> award was completed.

　The base is made of heavy wood similar to ebony.

"That's it. I can give it to him tomorrow when I go to pick up the rest of the materials.

　The medal is not very flexible. A disk of a reasonable size and thickness, the year, the MM design, and the white lilies that Reiko said her predecessor liked, and we are done.

"What about the back?"

"Well, let's see."

　Since the back of the bowl is not so smooth, we decided to put a laurel pattern on the back as well.

"Brother Jin, what is that on the trophy?

"This is a design of a tree called laurel .......

　Jin gave a brief explanation, "It is said that the laurel tree was originally a crown made from the branches of a laurel tree that Apollo, the sun god, transformed into Daphne, the woman he loved, and placed on the winner's head in Greek mythology.

　Jin knew nothing more about the origin of this story. He only remembered this story from a book of Greek mythology for children that he had read to his younger children.

　Therefore, I did not know that Eros, the god of love, shot the arrow of love to Apollo and the arrow of rejection to Daphne.



　Anyway, Jin was relieved that he had done what was asked of him.

"Hahaha, this golem is wonderful!

　Dave Maida Galana, Count of Egelea, laughed with amusement. His nose is crooked to the right.

　Last year, he was involved in a ruckus at the held at the royal castle and broke the bridge of his nose, which was attached with a slight crookedness.

　Count Galana, however, is the Commissioner of the Western District of the Blue Lands. He was in charge of a mining estate and had a large amount of money in his pocket.

　Many people were attracted to him because of the money.

So, what do you think?

　Jix, standing next to him, is one of them. Jix, with a thin smile on his face, first visited Count Kuzma, but after a short conversation, he said, "I sense a plot in what you are saying. I'll refrain from talking to you this time.

　After that, I went to Count Galana, and this is how I was hired.

　Right now, in front of their eyes, a golem is taking on ten soldiers of the Countess Galana's guard.

"It's interesting to see how it learns how to fight and how it gets stronger and stronger. I'm glad you came to me.

No, it's only natural that I should come to the Count who practically controls the Blue Lands.

By the way, did you know that there's going to be a golem competition in the Kingdom of Celluloid?

No, I've never heard of it.

It seems that recently, many countries have been developing high-performance golems, so that country must be aiming to further strengthen their golems.

"I see. ...... in the Kingdom of Celluloa."

　Jix was thinking.

　In front of their eyes, ten soldiers were helplessly flung away by swords and spears.

"Ha-ha-ha, that's great!　Now let's double the number of soldiers to 20!"

"Yes, please!

　In the end, Jix disappeared that day, along with the golem, which was able to take on 30 of the count's men and kill them instantly.

　Count Galana was furious with the ungrateful man, but the whereabouts of the one and the other were unknown.

　However, the fifth column (Quinta) in charge of the Blue Lands reported to the "Mere Old Man" that a flying object, which seemed to be 7 to 10 meters in length, flew off to the west at midnight.

　No further information was obtained.

<'s observations only confirmed that there was something like an airship and that it was going 60 km/h. Moreover, they entered the clouds.

　Moreover, the surveillance had to be interrupted when the aircraft entered the clouds, and it has not been seen since then.

　The old man decided to notify the fifth column (Quinta) in that direction, to alert them, and to report to Jin as soon as dawn broke.

　Then, he said.

"An airship. ......"

　Jin immediately showed interest.

"Then, it might be the sound of the propulsor."

　Jin makes a guess based on the continuous sound.

"Hmmm ...... but you saw what looked like <>, didn't you?　Both from the 5th column (quinta) and from <>."

"If so, it is still reasonable to consider it as a propulsor. The rest can be found at ......"

"No, I have an idea, but I can't say anything without verifying it.
