Camus was an efficient woman—the very next day, she came up to me with a ship blueprint in hand. At a glance, it seemed to be filled with details for the upgrades she had in mind.

I spread out the blueprint on the round table at the foot of Yggdrasil to look over it. “I see, so you plan to reinforce the hull, deck, and masts with orichalcum plates.”

Beside me, Camus nodded. “Yes. And on top of that, I’ll piece together a layer of leviathan scales.”

“Now that sounds like a ship that’s practically unsinkable.”

Both of the materials she mentioned were not just incredibly durable, but also remarkably light. They wouldn’t impede the vessel’s sailing speed. On top of that, she also added a few improvements in terms of food storage, such as installing a cold room with ice.

“Well, that’s the gist of the improvements to the ship itself,” she said. “Next up is asking you to make our escort golems. As for the orcs, I’m thinking of taking baby steps. I’ll try to convince them to go fishing on boats for now.”

I nodded. “I think that sounds brilliant. Hmm, but we’ll need to talk to Starkers about the use of orichalcum and scales.”

We still have plenty of orichalcum available, but is there enough to cover an entire warship with the stuff?

“In that case, let’s go ask our good pal Starkers,” she said. “He should be at the forge right about now.”

“Sounds like a plan.”

We immediately headed to the forge with the blueprint in hand. There, I approached Starkers.

“Hey, do you have a minute? I want to ask you something.” With the drawing as reference, I used gestures to communicate our plans with the orichalcum plating to Starkers.

The man listened patiently, nodding enthusiastically as I explained. Okay, seems like the amount of orichalcum and scales we have isn’t an issue. All that’s left...is the question of whether we have the technology to achieve it.

Once I finished my explanation, I said, “So yeah, that’s what we’re considering. What do you think? Is it doable?” Maybe it’s a silly question. I mean, Starkers was the man who managed to direct the water of the underground hot spring to the surface. I’m sure it’ll be a piece of cak—Huh?

For once, Starkers was folding his arms with a frown on his features. The creases between his brows only deepened after a long stretch of silence. Then, he picked up a twig and started drawing something on the ground. However, almost immediately, he shook his head as if to say, “That’s no good,” and he scratched out a part of his drawing with his twig.

Huuuh... This seemed to be a project of such a high difficulty that it had even stumped Starkers, our engineering expert. I looked him over. Is it just me, or does dense steam seem to be seeping out of his head...?

My mind wandered, but my eyes were glued to the drawing on the ground. My intrigue wasn’t exactly caused by its novelty. Rather, I was surprised at how detailed and meticulous it was.
