 Marcia replied with a smile.

"Are you going back to Potrock?"

 Marcia smiles a little sadly and replies.

"But I'm a little sad to say goodbye to the kids from the village I've become friends with.

 I understand that feeling,

"Yes, you're right. Jin, thank you."

 With Reiko as his assistant, Jin begins to work quite seriously on the project.

 He decided to make the golem out of 64 light silver, since it should be as light as possible for a golem to steer a ship.

 The skeleton is also made with a hollow core to reduce weight.

 For the muscles, we decided to use threads based on those of the ground spider, which is a light material.

 Compared to the leather of the demons used in Horai Island, it can be made 40% lighter. Although the upper limit of the power that can be produced is less than half, it is still several times stronger than that of an ordinary golem.

 In order to make it light, the figure will be of a neutral boy type, approximately 140 cm tall and 35 kg in weight.

"Jin, what is the name of the ship?"

"Oh, I hope Marcia will name it for me.

 Jin thought that he still wanted the creator to name the ship.

"Hmmm...yes. How about for the trimaran and for the pleasure boat?

"Yes, that sounds good."

 They would go well with the intrepid trimaran and the stout pleasure boat, Jin thought.

 So he inscribed <<> on the boat respectively. > on each boat.

"Now we should build a landing place and a warehouse at a suitable location on the Hermes River.

 Jin decided that the best location would be by the bridge, so he quickly made arrangements.
