'Whoa! Awesome! It's really flying!
Hey, hey, heh, heh! Magic! This is magic!
This isn't magic. It's the lift... well, it's flying with the force of the wind.

　Not exactly. I pulled the string in my hand and let the kite rise in the air as I did so. The children watch the kite with sparkling eyes as it rises into the sky.
　I handed a kite to one of them and made one after the other for the children who were looking at it enviously.
　I teach the kids how to fly the kites, and they soon start to get good at it.
　I looked for Oluba-san, the businessman who seemed to appear at any moment while doing this, but I couldn't find him. Well, he couldn't always be there.
　I sit down under the shade of a tree, just being careful not to tangle any strings. This place is far enough away from the city that flying a kite doesn't get in the way of people.
　It's peaceful. I wish the days would continue to be this leisurely.
　Rosetta and Monica are fixing the broken Black Knight. My opinion that I should just change the entire plane to a new one was rejected.
　If you continue to use the same aircraft, its kinetic performance and magic reaction speed will improve. If you acquire experience in this way, then the data can be transferred to the newer models later on.
　However, it seems to take as long as a week to transfer that data. During that time, mass production in the "workshop" would be stopped, and if I had to do that every time I broke a machine, it would be a lot of work. It would be much easier to repair it normally.
　Well, that doesn't mean I can't destroy it with ease, though.
　It's like breaking a game console every time you start it up.
　If you had to replace the console with a whole memory every time you did that, every game would be from the start, and if you just pulled the memory out and put it in a new console, it wouldn't switch on for a week.
　If I had the skills to fix a malfunction, I'd fix it myself. But in this case, the problem is that I don't have the skills to do it, and it's left to other people. If you say "fix it" comfortably every time you break it, you will get angry.
　It would be great if you could just copy it with a click, just like in game memory.
　According to Rosetta, she doesn't really want to transfer the memory itself. When I asked her why, she replied that transferring a trained swordsman's brain to a poor wizard's body won't make him a top-notch swordsman, which I don't understand. It seems that the 'experience' of an excellent swordsman is there, so it doesn't mean it's completely useless, though.
　When you transfer the memory, even if it's the same type of aircraft, if it's not the one you've been using, does that mean it's going to take some time to get used to it?
　There was a character in a manga I read a long time ago that had an enemy that switched bodies, but he couldn't draw on his strength because his body wasn't used to it, and he lost easily.

I guess it's all about balance, isn't it?

　Experience of the pilot, experience of the aircraft. It would be easier if we knew how long it would take to level up, like in a game.
　It would be easier if we knew how long it would take to level up, like in a game. It's not that convenient. That's just the way the game works. If such a thing existed, I'd doubt the existence of this world.
　The problem is that we don't have enough repair staff, after all.... If I can manage that, I'll do some mock battles and increase my experience.
　When I asked Rosetta and the others if they could do something about it, I heard that there are miniature autonomous golems that can do repairs automatically. And apparently there are quite a few of them.

If we had that, the problem would be solved. And where are they?
"The warehouse.
Uh-uh!

　You keep too much of everything.... That doctor doesn't look that meticulous.
　While I was absentmindedly thinking about such a helpless thing, I heard a voice calling me from somewhere.

"Fuyao-san!
Lady Winter's Night!
'Yumina? Lou too?

　As I stood up and patted the dirt from my pants, he hugged me from both sides.
　These two were now officially my fiancés. I guess it's because it's now a matter of public recognition and no one has to flaunt it anymore, but they stick around. I'm embarrassed to admit it, but I can't even ask her to leave me, so I let her.

'I was wondering where he went and then I saw that thing. I knew he was here for sure.

　Lou points to a kite high in the sky. That makes sense. I'm the only one who makes those.

''I can't believe that you've left us alone and are playing with the kids. Mr. Fuyao should take better care of his wife.
You're not your wife yet, but...
We've already done that, you know? Fuyu-sama is a winged bird, a branch of renli......... Is it different in this case?

　Well, hey. That's a lot of wings and branches. As I was smiling at Lou, who was tilting his head, a merchant unit came from the other side with a number of carriages in tow.
　A line of carriages crossed in front of us as we lumbered along, heading towards Belfast.
　The merchants in the carriages looked up at the kites that the children were flying. It's no good, we need to tie it to a business like Mr. Orba there and jump on it.

'It's Regulus's Merchant Corps, isn't it? Look, there's a soldier at the tail end with an escort.
But that's a lot of them. What's he carrying?

　I guess having an escort means it's a luxury item. Fine furniture and art works. This kind of general goods transportation is very difficult. I have never had a hard time because I have a "gate". It would be profitable to use the "gate" to run a delivery service. It's limited to places I've been.
　It is convenient to have a truck or something. You can carry things all at once. No, it's better to use freight trains.

A train...?
Mr. Winteryacht?

　A train ... a train! If only we could pull the tracks, it would be pretty handy, wouldn't it? You could ask Rosetta to build you a steam train... or is a train dangerous in this world?
　Someone could jump onto the tracks without knowing, or there could be a train robbery or something. A rock might be put on the track, or the rail might be broken, you know.
　Hmmm, if I think about it every time, I can't do anything. I can't help but think about "safety". It's a little late to be making frame gears, though.
　Hmmm. Is the train project frozen? I mean....

Hey, tete, tete, tete!
"...what else are you thinking about? Just leave us alone.

　I was concentrating on my thoughts when Yumina pinched me in the side. You don't have to pinch me.

''Lord, can you hear me?''
Yeah? Is it amber?

　As I rubbed my pinched side, a telepathic message flew in. Yumina puffed up her face as I stopped moving and wondered if she was thinking about it again, but she indicated with a hand gesture that she was not.

'What's up?' What's going on?

　I deliberately answer aloud to show them that I'm speaking to them with my mind.

''Master, this is Rosetta. We have run out of orichalcon, which is used for the mass production of frame gears, and I would like you to replenish it, but.......

　He could hear Rosetta's voice through the amber. An orichalcon. Has the portion I obtained from Orba-san already been used up? It can't be helped, I'll have to go get it somewhere.

I'll get it for you. I'll manage to get that for you.
It's a pleasure to meet you.
What's going on?

　When I cut off the telepathic conversation, Lou asked if he was wondering.

'It's an orichalcon order from Rosetta. Now let's see where I can get it...
'I'm sure you can get some for sale at the quarry. Maybe that won't be enough.
Orichalcone is a rare metal, you know. It's also quite expensive.

　There's nothing I can't buy, though. I got a sum of money the other day from slaying a giant beast. But when I think about the future, I'd like to splurge. I still have some Mithril left over, though. Ah.

I wonder if there's an Orihalcon golem?

　I asked them both, thinking that with someone like Mithril Golem, I would be able to collect them all at once.

'Orichalcon golem, sir? I've never heard of it...
Me too. I'm not surprised you're here, though.

　Hmm. Who's that convenient?
　In the meantime, let's call up the map and do a search. I've never seen one, but if there's an orichalcone golem, it's probably a golem made of a full-body golden orichalcone. It's easy to recognize at a glance.

'Search. Orihalcon Golem.
"Search begins. .... end.

　A pin drops on the displayed map with a thud.

'....There's quite a few of them.
There are...

　I was a little surprised when the pin fell unexpectedly. The world is so big. Well, when I looked closely, I found all the high mountains and deep valleys where people don't seem to live. I wonder if they live in places where witnesses are unlikely to appear.

Let's go hunting then.
Oh, well, then we're going to...
'No, I'll be fine on my own. I've never been there before, so I'll just fly with the 'fly'.

　We both shush when we hear the word "fly. Do you hate it that much?
　For now, I sent the two of them to the castle at the 'gate' and opened the map again.

''Hmm, with this location, this is the closest place from where I've been once... Yisheng.''

　You're in the mountains a little west of Oedo in Yisheng. Yisheng looks vaguely like the Japanese archipelago, but isn't this Mount Fuji?
　I think we can fly right from Oedo. Alright, let's go.
　If I can find a bunch of orichalcons, I'll make some golden frame gears. Like the Golden Knight? Is it fancy?
