Volu 6 Chapter 17: Thing That Need To Be Done

(Walson)

The facilities in Chuck's workshop are very rudintary, with nothing but that custom-made iron forge.

From the dust piled up in the workshop, it can be seen that it hasn't been used for a long ti. So areas have less dust, and combined with the tal pipes on the walls showing signs of damage, it seems that so large machinery used to be placed here, but has since been dismantled.

Chuck sumd up clearly what I needed to do: 'I hope you can make a [Steam Motion Armor] that can win the [Martial Arts Competition] that is going to happen in the [God Pulse Festival] next month.'

"Next month!? But I haven't even learned how to make one yet!? And what's this [Martial Arts Competition]!?"

"Also, you can’t use the [Thermodynamic Core] to make the [Steam Motion Armor]." Chuck ignored my complaints and continued to specify his requirents.

So, what exactly is this [Thermodynamic Core]!? I don’t know any of this! I've only heard that it's sothing like a battery that fuels the [Steam Motion Armor], like the Arc Reactor of Iron Man suits, but without detailed information, it's hard to say if I can avoid using it.

"I know the deadline is short, but if you can do it, whatever you want from , as long as I can give it, I can give it to you."

"Uh, wait a minute, you're royalty, right? Do you know what the significance of that promise is!?" I stared at him wide-eyed.

"I do. As long as you can really do it, I'll always be your friend," Chuck nodded solemnly.

"I thought we were already friends." I rolled my eyes at him. "I'll do my best, but don't you want to tell first what I need to make a [Steam Motion Armor]? What is its basic structure? The principles of how it works? You can't just grab soone with no foundation and tell him to make a custom made item.”

Anyway, if I fail and so big problem cos up, I can just run away using Grace Enderman teleportation.

Upon hearing this, Chuck didn't say anything more. He simply pulled down a wrench from the wall and activated a switch. A door creaked open, revealing a room filled with dusty books.

...

...

Three days passed just like that.

Honestly, I've thought about many ways to impart knowledge to soone in a fantasy world in a short ti.

But it still cos down to the old ways of studying from my past life, just read the goddamn book.

This brings back to my earlier part of life as a student.

But still, Chuck, isn't this simply too irresponsible!? Didn't you invite here to make a custom made [Steam Motion Armor]!? At least take so ti to organize a briefing for to explain more on practically everything!?

I’m going in blind god damn it!

Chuck only stayed on the first day to help answer so questions from the books, and then, like those incompetent teachers from my previous life, left alone to study all by myself.

Still, I can sowhat understand his position, after all, he's the fourth heir to the throne of this country, and after years of wandering outside, he's finally returned, with undoubtedly a mountain of matters to attend to.

Although it's different from what I initially expected, Chuck didn't involve in the political turmoil and instead simply tasked with building a machine. He didn't drag into any strange events, which, to be honest, isn't bad at all.

— If he didn't insist that the thing I make must be nad.

At least he left with plenty of materials and taught how to use this strange furnace, although I basically don't need it.

This thing, in simple terms, is a more advanced iron forge, but my own Minecraft furnace can completely replace it in function.

During these few days, I finally gained a deeper understanding of the [Thermodynamic Core], which was ntioned several tis before. It made sigh at the lies spread by this country.

The rumor outside is this: "The [Thermodynamic Core] is the core of a [Steam Motion Armor], with strict manufacturing conditions. Besides requiring a specific temperature for it to be made, it also needs multiple dwarves to simultaneously use their [talforge Manipulation] to produce a single [Thermodynamic Core]."

In reality, only one "Noble Dwarf" is needed to produce the [Thermodynamic Core]. Moreover, that "Noble Dwarf" can imbue the [Thermodynamic Core] with different properties according to their own Class. For example, the [Azure Queen] that I t before with Chuck, is able to freeze her enemies using the steam that cos out of her [Steam Motion Armor] due to it being made by a [Glacial Mage].

This is so freaking magical. In other words, regardless of your Class, you can wear a [Steam Motion Armor]!

But this isn't surprising. For these dwarves, the [Steam Motion Armor] isn't a high class cha; it's their equipnt, just like the plate armor and leather armor outside, it’s an extension of their bodies!

Oh, but rumors aren't entirely false. Firstly, the manufacturing conditions for the [Thermodynamic Core] are indeed strict. Besides alloys of different tals, there's one thing that's indispensable: the [Sacred Mountain Soil].

What's [Sacred Mountain Soil]? In this underground world, there's a sun of its own, and beneath that sun lies a stalactite volcano. The lava-deposited soil on the stalactite volcano is the [Sacred Mountain Soil].

The Dwarf race's god - that sun, supposedly sheds "sacred tears" every day, which drip into that stalactite volcano. The so-called [Sacred Mountain Soil] is ford in this way.

—Um, so the key material is actually a mixture of God secretions and soil!? Maybe I shouldn't put it that way; it feels weird.

After reading through this information, I know that the power source of the [Steam Motion Armor] is water and the [Thermodynamic Core]. I think the water is used to provide steam, while the lava-deposited soil containing the [Sacred Mountain Soil], is used to provide heat.

Thinking about it, it's troubleso. It's one thing to ask to build one, but to also hope that I don't use the [Thermodynamic Core]... What should I do...

It's 10:30 in the evening, and outside is still the unchanging purple sun shining.

I rubbed my forehead and set down the book in my hand, sighing deeply. This is really giving a headache.

"Walson, what's up?" Derisha said.

Right now, I'm sitting on a bench with Derisha resting her head on my lap. She's been dozing off since just now, seemingly awakened by my recent movents.

"Sorry for disturbing your nap, Your Highness. Would you like to go inside the room and sleep?" I smiled and reached out to stroke Derisha's silvery hair.

"Don't— Don't tease like that. I didn't wake up because of you," Derisha pouted, a little embarrassed.

Oh, this is really cute. It's rare to see Derisha pouting like this; it almost lts my heart.

"Derisha, I really like you," I said, perhaps influenced by the atmosphere.

"Eeeeehhh!? Wait, did you just confess to !? Oh, oh my goodness—" Derisha's reaction is similar to lon's, but it's even more panicked.

"I feel like I owe each of you a confession," I said, "...And if you are going to ask out, this is my answer, yes.”

Derisha covers her face with both hands, turning over and burying her entire face in my stomach.

"Hey, we're both wearing bracelets now. It's not a big deal to say sothing like that, right?"

"N-No, it's just, I never thought that a day would co when a man would actually say they like ..." Derisha's voice sounds muffled because her face is buried in my stomach.

Hmm, I really am a failure. I should have said these words earlier.

...But since Derisha is also my fiancée now, it ans we'll eventually move on to marriage.

Derisha is a princess, and I'm a commoner... Well... at least I should give her a decent wedding. In that case, I can't maintain the sa attitude of awe towards the upper class as before. I need to upgrade my standing.

Yes, not just Derisha, but also Barella, Grace, and lon, they're all good girls deserving of a good wedding.

Hmmm.... let's start with making the [Steam Motion Armor] in front of and told Chuck to be my supporter.
