Verse 39: On the road

The security of the wilderness area in front of the park is becoming more and more uncontrollable, and the perpetrators of all this have returned to their hometown after nearly three months of absence.

The fierce sun makes people feel that even the air in the south burns people, and it is generally summer.

Thanks to the embodiment of the background text effect of the item description, adventurers in the Garan Courtyard before heading to the park will now carry a crafting-grade equipment called the 'Ice Crystal Talisman', which was originally just a common basic item that provided adventurers with a small amount of fire resistance, but now it has become a standard piece of equipment for adventurers who travel to the tropics.

A small fleet of three ships in the Dumb Bay Strait maintained a high speed under the surging steam power.

Standing on the bow deck of the armored cruiser USS United Forces, looking out toward seven o'clock, except for the Swift Fly, which had decided where to 'retire'. Yuba Akiwa was looking at an ocean-going freighter that was carrying the first batch of artillery deliveries in the order.

This is a 5,000-ton ocean-going freighter belonging to the 'Eighth Shopping Street', from the ships, equipment, accessories, to the crew of adventurers... The ship, which had been on trial for about a week since its launch, could not be said to be new.

(How dare you send it out after a cursory inspection of the operation of the equipment offshore, isn't that the guy Krasin afraid that the ship will strike or sink in the power system halfway through?) )

But just think about it.

Reversing the law, reshaping nature, causing miracles, and having the power to master magic, even if a big hole is opened in the bottom of the ship, as long as the ship does not sink, it can be rescued, is the foundation of daring to let a group of novices + landlubbers sail away.

In addition, I heard that the two 7,000-ton light cruisers belonging to the Marine Agency and the Eighth Shopping Street have also reached the final stage of outfitting.

If it weren't for the fact that the United Forces armored cruiser was analyzed after the feedback data was analyzed at sea, and the details were adjusted and modified, I am afraid that it would have entered the stage of sea trials.

"Alright, alright! Xiao Yuye, don't be sour anymore! Miyagawa Hinata's gentle voice came in his ears, and he gently stroked the girl's long hair and persuaded him: "After all, there is still a big gap between us and the 'Eighth Shopping Street', and of course we are not as good as an old and large guild like the other party in terms of the resources that can be mobilized." ”

"Of course I know..."

Watching the autumn garden and the leaves turn away awkwardly, Miyagawa Hinata guessed in her heart that the girl should be holding her mouth at this time, but in fact, this conjecture is not much different from reality.

(You're all open, aren't you?) It's artillery production, large-scale infrastructure construction, blast furnace construction, warship manufacturing, and ship manufacturing, why can there be such an exaggerated action!! )

Of course, the girl's heart also understands.

This is not only the financial, material, and human resources of the three major production associations, but also the reason for the huge network of relationships that encompasses the entire Yamato.

The Loderick Chamber of Commerce is responsible for experimenting with the use of various in-game skills or techniques to streamline production processes while preserving quality.

Dowlon (Marine Agency) is responsible for large-scale production in core technology areas such as artillery and ships.

Karasin (Eighth Shopping Street) is responsible for mobilizing a large number of risk-takers through its guild's extensive network of connections to take on low-skilled jobs on the periphery, such as leveling the land, building roadbeds, laying sleepers and railroad tracks, or carrying huge equipment and other labor-devouring tasks.

Of course, the Autumn Garden does not stay in this framework for nothing, in addition to providing drawings and written materials to the organization, it also has its own research team, which usually assists the team of the Loderick Chamber of Commerce in improving the production process.

But don't underestimate the status of 'auxiliary'.

In the Akihabara Round Table Council, there are only three organizations with R&D teams, the first is the Loderick Chamber of Commerce, the second is the Garan Garden, and finally the Marine Institute, and even the Eighth Shopping Street, which is one of the three major production guilds, does not have the ability to 'explore independently'.

As for other small and medium-sized guild organizations in Akihabara? They generally make a living from trade or production, let alone touch on scientific research, which is far away from them.

The girl's background is not weak, so the three of Daolong, Karasin, and Loderick regard it as the object of 'equal dialogue'.

But the freighter behind you, the battleship under your feet, the artillery used by the team... The only exceptions to the railway network, blast furnaces, shipyards, and cannon foundries that are being laid in Akihabara are the best manifestations of hard power that can be seen and touched, and ordinary adventurers basically only see these superficial things.

There is no large-scale industry.

There are no dazzling martial arts medals.

Although Akiwa Yuba has also made a lot of highlights in Akihabara, after all, the battle effectiveness of the guild has been measured by the achievements and glory of the 'world-class dungeons' in the past, and the 'distant battle' not long ago was not known to the adventurers of Akihabara.

Therefore, everyone's intuitive impression of 'Garan Garden' is not among the first-class standards.

The girl was depressed and took two steps forward and leaned forward to lean on the metal railing, "It's hot...", and shrunk in the face of the hot metal pipe, and the autumn garden Xiye had no choice but to give up the idea of lying on the railing, but it was lightly scalded, and his mind was diverted a little.

Hinata Miyagawa: "Are you alright?" Although he knew that there would be no problems, he still held the girl's hand to check.

was carefully examined by the other party's serious look staring at his arm, and he couldn't help but let Akiwa Yuba let out a "... That's an exaggeration, Hinata-san. Complained.

"Hee-hee... Can't I let my sister take a few more looks? ”

Don't wait for the autumn garden and sunset leaves, "Huh? Say... Say something! Suddenly-" After rebutting, Hinata Miyagawa "Hey! He picked up the girl in his arms.

The inertia of thinking is "snapped!" Some of them were cut off.

Akiwa Yuba, who felt that he couldn't keep up with the other party's radio waves, had no choice but to let Miyagawa Hinata get the power of 'healing' from his body.

Miyagawa Hinata just hugged Akiwa Yuba's body and rubbed her cheek for a while before she spoke, and her tone was preachy, but more praised: "Really! Why are you drilling the horns again? ”

"You must know that my little Yuba is very~ very powerful! You must know the achievements of more than a year, but many people are staring! So don't be so tight, just relax your mind. ”

At present, the mental state of Autumn Garden Yuba can be said to be intermittently falling into a state of anxiety.

On the one hand, reason knows that development is not something that can be achieved overnight.

But on the other hand, emotionally, when watching other bigwigs take off, I can't help but be full of 'envy, jealousy, hatred', and the feelings continue to accumulate in my heart.

"And even if you say something like 'find the sea at the end of the world', everyone like Emmeral, Arai, the fairy gendarme, and everyone in the guild will be surprised at first, and then they will smile and nod in agreement."

After hearing this, Akiwa Yuba said, "If I really say 'looking for the sea at the end of the world', are you sure that what they look at me is not caring for mentally handicapped children?" Rebuttal.

"Really! It's just a metaphor for the king of conquest! Miyagawa Hinata 'angry and displeased' pinched Akiwa Yuba's face with her hand and said: "If you really want to implement a more radical strategy, you might as well say it, and everyone will definitely follow the pace of Xiao Yuye's journey as before." ”

“... Let me continue to think about it. ”

Observing the signs that Autumn Garden Yuba has a tendency to be 'autistic', Miyagawa Hinata put the girl down and turned around to pick up the armpit again.

Walking quickly to the center of the bow of the boat, he said with a smile: "Speaking of which, we don't seem to have the time to play like 'I am the king of the world'!" ”

Hearing this, Qiu Ting Xiye immediately said, "Don't!" Struggled up, trying to get out of Hinata Miyagawa's control.

Miyagawa Hinata thought that the other party was shy, so he said, "Eh? Why~" of the knowing advisor up.

Autumn garden Yuba is not because of shyness or anything like that, but "please please don't play like this" in response: "I don't want to hit the flag of the iceberg..."

The two chatted with each other with unnutritious words and jokes.

By this time, the fleet had already crossed the strait unconsciously, one step closer to its destination.
