Chapter 219 – 7. Does the Princess of Colchis Dream of Cinderella? (10)
The skeleton is a metal keel and ribs.
The basic construction idea is almost the same as that of a wooden sailboat.
Most of the hull is wooden, but the inside and outside of the outer walls of the water layer are coated with a special copper alloy. Through this, the durability and waterproofness were significantly reinforced, and the weight of the lower part was increased, and the weight of the metal keel and metal ribs was combined to match the weight center.
It is a bonus that the ship was further stabilized by making a ball bow.
The mast is a 4-mast windjammer type.
I think I want to go further than I thought, but within the constraints, this was the limit. Of course, I put changes in it to be as efficient as possible.
All technologies are definitely within this era.
Metal keel technology is in one kingdom. Material technology to Gash Allied countries. This kind of quasi-modern technology is in the empire. And the presence or absence of sail technology was confirmed in Ine Kingdom.
However.
Why is everyone looking so shocked?
“Gee, did it really take less than a day?”
“That, more than that… Who the hell made it this big to control?”
YuRia just shrugged her shoulders.
What is big? It’s only 48m.
To hear that it’s big, shouldn’t it be a megameter (a thousand times Km) unit?
However, considering that the constitution class, the strongest sailboat that actually dominated the last era of wooden sailing ships, was about 53m, it seemed that this ship was definitely large in this era.
Even so, I wonder if I couldn’t overcome that limit in a place with a special ability called magic, but thinking about it again, the magic here wasn’t so omnipotent.
More than anything. If the magic power source to maintain the magic easily exceeded the price of a ship, it would have exceeded it, but it would not be less.
Haha, by analogy, is coal the price of a diamond?
With a splash, YuRia, who lifted the boat and put it into the sea with her superpowers, jumped on top of the boat.
“Isn’t everyone capable of reaching this level?”
They all shrugged her shoulders, Roa exploded her aura under her feet, and she jumped in one breath, and Tamamo leaped again in the air. And Er jumped up and landed on top of her stomach.
“This is safe, right sister?”
Er asked as if he was a little anxious, but Yuria just smiled.
“I don’t think there’s a better ship than this ship in this world right now?”
Just in case. A boat made by a dragon with magic. I don’t know if there was a ship made entirely of rare metals by pouring rare metals like mithril like mad.
At least looking at the level of ships in this world now, this ship was far beyond the level of the present age.
Even Constitution can’t match this ship, so how can other ships compare?
Of course, this ship is unarmed, so that’s something to consider.
However, since the attacks of those on this ship were more powerful than the modest cannons, the armament was unnecessary in the first place.
“It’s nice, but you’ll need a lot of people to run a ship like this, so what are you going to do with that, youngster?”
At Tamamo’s words, Yuria simply smiled at her.
It’s certainly not wrong, but it was because she didn’t know herself.
Couldn’t she be alone?
As YuRia quietly stretched out her hand in the air, they licked each other, her mast moved, and the pole moved, and the dowels began to open wide automatically.
“Uh?”
“What are you doing? You’ve shown me before.”
She squeaked, and before she knew it, the sails were all full, and she began to pick up her pace, catching the wind.
“The maximum speed of a ship in this era is around 10 knots at most. But this ship is different.”
As they fluttered and extended the sails to the left and right of the ship, the sails extended and became larger and wider.
Shoot!!
Tamamo just stared blankly at YuRia as the speed of the ship increased so much that she stumbled and almost lost her balance.
What kind of ridiculous speed is this?
“This boat can go over 20 knots depending on the wind.”
The copper gloves of the water layer are treated with sharkskin, so the water resistance is extremely reduced.
The purpose of the ship itself is not a warship, but a high-speed ship built to pursue the princess.
Instead of needlessly balancing a central stone, copper gloves, metal keel and ribs were used to make the frame, and the center of the frame was lowered as low as possible.
Compared to most ships of this era, its weight was almost cut in half.
The area of the sail is more than twice that of the sail of this era. The efficiency of receiving wind is also more than twice that of area.
The hydrodynamics applied to the hull was also at a different level from that of ships of this era.
The horse said 20 knots, but if the wind was followed, it was this ship that could aim at 30 knots.
Rumbling and rolling around her steering wheel, Yuria let her eyes and hair shine as much as she could, feeling the wind around her. She read the currents and charted her course.
Difference in days?
Anyway, sailing in this era is in months.
There was nothing I couldn’t catch up with now, with almost double the difference in speed.
“Well, something seems to have changed.”
“Haha, I might be a little excited to show my ability properly after a long time.”
She was honestly happy just being with Loa, but it was also true that she was a bit bored.
Despite gradually recovering and being able to handle huge power, just quiet and serene days.
It’s not that I dislike such a quiet life.
Rather than getting caught up in risky and uncertain things like now, I like peaceful and quiet days even if it hurts, but it seems that the desire to show off my abilities to the fullest in my heart is gradually becoming dissatisfied.
Then you should enjoy it
Something that cannot be avoided anyway.
An incident that has already been encountered and encountered.
An unknown and uncertain future.
Yuria decided that she would enjoy it while she could enjoy it all.
You don’t know what will happen in the future, so you have to hold it up while you can enjoy it so that your spiritual body will recover more, so that you can endure even a little longer no matter what happens.
Pooh!! Shoot!!
With a bright smile, he rode through the huge waves head-on.
The ship was bouncing loudly and screams resonated here and there, but Yuria’s hand turning the steering wheel was unstoppable.
“Whoa, whoaaaaah!!”
“Kyaaak! Kyaaak!! Kyaaaaa!!!”
“Kyaaang?! Joe, how about going a little slower?!”
Should I step on the accelerator more?
“I am a small wild flower blooming in the field.” Dance, daughters of the sea. Rush, hem of the ocean, circulating breath of life. Jump for joy!”
Upon realizing the identity of Yuria’s cry, Er’s complexion turned into contemplation.
“Now, wait! Yu, Yuria sister!?”
“Ahaha! We will sail at full speed from now on. Customers, please fasten your seat belts. Ah. No seat belts?”
Whoops, whoops…
Tamamo and Roa followed Er as the unusually fluctuating atmosphere gradually turned their complexions into contemplation.
“Stand, no way, with magic!?”
“Ding dong dang! The ship I saw today will renew the blue ribbon”
“What is that!!”
“Fu, younger child!? I-I won’t die today after seeing this!?”
Roa and Er, who saw Tamamo clinging to the mast without realizing it, similarly clung to the mast and held onto it tightly, refusing to let go.
And the wind that gradually blew began to push the boat that YuRia had built as if it were a waterfoil boat.
“Oh, Mom!!”
“I’m flying! I’m flying! I’m flying! I’m flying!!”
Shoot!! Tung! Fighting!!
Every once in a while, the boat bounced up on the waves and really floated completely on the surface of the water, skimming the surface as if floating a water swallow, and everyone panicked and was not upset.
What is it that makes you so frightened?
“The current speed is 19.8 knots. We plan to accelerate further to 27 knots in the future. Depending on the situation, we plan to accelerate to 33.5 knots, so passengers please be aware.”
“Oh, Mom!!”
“Mi, crazy! Crazy! Crazy!!!”
“Don’t worry~ This ship is perfectly controlled within the captain’s steering, so there is no problem.”
Of course, I thought it would be true that those words did not bring any consolation to everyone, but I was also a little disappointed.
I said it jokingly, but wasn’t that trustworthy…
After a while, everyone started wandering around the ship, albeit in a slightly nervous state, as if they had never been so rude.
As YuRia said, the condition of the ship was very stable. Tung!! The feeling of the bottom of the boat passing by as if flying over the sea was thrilling, but it was because the condition of the boat was very stable, as YuRia assured.
It had been a while since they had set sail, and the surroundings were already blue, so the vast sea was so black that it looked black.
YuRia also said something playful with her. Maybe she was tired of it already, but she smiled refreshingly, but she was quietly steering the boat.
Sigh. She squeaks and winds and unwinds the ropes that control the sails, sometimes interferes with the pole or the sail itself with psychic powers, controls the ship, and intermittently, as if singing, Yuria sings her magic.
“Awesome…”
Yuria, who created this ship, is also amazing. Yuria, who can control a ship like this by herself, is also amazing.
A ship that can survive such an absurd voyage is amazing.
In the past, it seems like yesterday that it was difficult to do something like that, holding only bread, a butter knife and tableware in the air, but if you think about it, it has already been about ten years.
Now, she still uses her ability to the fullest, and on the other hand, she has recovered to the point where she felt cramped for not being able to use that ability properly.
Come to think of it, she herself was very indifferent.
It’s just that she likes being with herself. She likes hot springs and the distilled spirit she used to call vodka. What did she know about Yuria?
Seeing her YuRia, who was so glad that she used her own power to her heart’s content, her Roa felt a bit bitter.
No, if you think about it, such signs have always existed since ancient times.
She wants to create something with her abilities, but she is always frustrated by her limitations. Even if she tried to do something, she was always blocked and cramped.
She just didn’t try to understand Yuria even when she saw those things herself.
‘I’ve been a terrible husband’
Had I known, I would have fixed it from now on.
“Yuria. If I talk to you, is it difficult to control the boat?”
“Huh? No. I can steer a hundred thousand thousand thousand ships alone.”
Fault! YuRia, who turned her steering wheel as much as she could, let go of her hand and looked back at her loa.
Surprisingly, the steering wheel started turning on its own without YuRia holding it.
‘Ah… ‘
Right.
Even now, Yuria is controlling all parts of the ship with her own abilities, but there is no way she can’t control the steering wheel with her own abilities.
It was nothing more, nothing less, that she just manipulated it with her own hands to create an atmosphere.
“What’s going on?”
“No. It’s been a while since I looked excited.”
“Ah…”
As if YuRia had already read her thoughts, her face turned a little red.
“What I like, what I want… Mmm”
Loa knows hot springs and vodka.
What I liked about fresh crops was to somehow get even a small amount of vitality through those crops at the time, so it didn’t mean much to Wash now.
In that sense, it was the same with peaches.
It’s not that I don’t hate it, but I just liked it because peaches are the most vibrant of all crops, so I can replenish a lot of vitality.
“I see… What do I like?”
Was she such a dry person that she didn’t even know what she liked so much?
Come to think of it, she seems to have been.
It may not have been like that from the beginning, but it was gradually becoming a being that only knew how to move as commanded, without emotion, like a machine.
Even when she first met Loa, she never thought in her dreams that she would fall in love with Loa so much.
She just lost the light, so she has to repay the light.
Meanwhile, Yuria suddenly looked up at the sky.
“…”
And she realized what she was missing.
“Universe…”
Narrow.
Continents are narrow and oceans are narrow.
It’s good for her to stay in one place with Loa, but it was too narrow for her to live tied to her only one star.
She came out into the open sea and felt that her heart was swollen, but it was still too small a space for this little star.
“I think I forgot too long.”
“…”
Come to think of it, at some point she gave up on it.
She gave up thinking that it would be almost impossible for her to fully recover on her own, but with this help and that help from her. As we go through this and that, it gets worse and sometimes it gets better.
Above all, because of her Roa, her heart overflows with joy and happiness, and as she recovers quickly, she is now in a state where she can reconsider the universe she had given up. Came in
If she recovers by 3-4%, she can escape this world long enough.
She had already recovered about 10% of her own condition, and if it had not been for the power that had been consumed in large quantities to save her sacred number, it wouldn’t take long for her current recovery, which had gained momentum once recovered.
But she is Yuria, she herself, she herself, what to do. She didn’t know what she wanted to do.
I want to go out. I want to go out.
But she doesn’t want to leave Loa’s side.
But can Loa and her children live off this planet?
Can I leave Loa and live now?
If this planet’s work is over, would it be so bad that I couldn’t leave this planet even if I hurt myself?
With all her thoughts running through her head, Yuria looked at Tamamo.
“What do you like about Tamamo?”
“Bo, is she the original girl?”
Tamamo immediately said that she likes Japanese sake and fried tofu, which she had improved, and meat.
However, even when YuRia wondered if I liked that, she was not particularly impressed.
“Sorry. I asked because I didn’t have a good idea of what I like, but I don’t think this is right.”
“Is it…”
So let’s try to change her mind.
Before being taken into custody.
She still dreamed of a world in a fairy tale, she was a little girl, what did she like herself.
Orphanages aren’t that poor either. She wasn’t even rich.
The minimum human rights were perfectly guaranteed, and there was no shortage, even if it could not be overflowed.
“…Super X Pie?”
The division of the ancient races has already changed to the point where it becomes meaningless, and the race itself has become meaningless. However, upon learning that he was of the Slavic race, the director once gave him a snack called Choco Pie, which he said was a favorite snack of the ancient Slavs.
After eating it once, he really liked it so much that he was looking forward to when he would be able to eat Choco X again.
Okay. I like xcopai
But in this world, it must be difficult to make it easy. I tried to make it similar to the chocolate I found with difficulty, but it was still very different from the taste I knew.
Of course, that similar guy was enough to bring back old memories, but the taste left a sense of regret.
Let’s find it again. What could have been
Then, she suddenly remembered.
Somehow, she had a brand of instant noodles she had stocked up in her spaceship.
“Meta Aquaz Taze?”
“What is it?”
“…”
How should I explain this?
Where he lived, it wasn’t even junk food, but it was one of the simple convenience foods.
It’s not particularly high-end food, and it’s not an unusual delicacy.
It’s just that kind of food that YuRia just happened to buy a lot because she fell in love with the taste.
But how should I explain it?
In the first place, only molecular cooking, not a general cooking method.
It is a food made by molecular printing of various ingredients.
It can never be made with conventional conventional cooking methods. In his own time, such food was made only with mass production in mind.
It was just a ‘noodle’ dish, so it was marked as noodle or spaghetti, but none of the dishes corresponded to this.
“Look at it in your dream today. It’s a dish that can’t be explained in words…”
“Yes”
In the end, the first attempt to find out about Yuria ended a little hazy.
“Still, I’m really grateful from the bottom of my heart. I’m really happy that you thought of me.”
“Yes!”
Still. Even if there were no special results, I thought that it was not a failure because Yuria was so happy with just that attempt.
“By the way, what are you going to do at night?”
“Do you know a creature called a dolphin?”
Creatures called whales that live in the sea but have to breathe through their lungs.
They were beings that had to constantly swim to get a breath every 15 minutes or so.
“So they solved the problem by sleeping with one half of the head in turns.”
“…Ho, I’m asking just in case. YuRia, are you right now?”
“Yeah. I’m half asleep.”
In the first place, it wouldn’t matter if I didn’t sleep for a month or two, as long as I didn’t consume a lot of energy for the singularity, but now that’s not the case, it was inevitable.
However, even if half of the brain falls asleep like that, it’s practically seldom that even that half of the brain can use its full power.
Rather, doing the current job with that half of the brain felt like a moderate amount of effort.
“Heirloom. Are you really human?”
“… No, from my side, this is normal, right?”
At that, Tamamo sighed and sighed.
“Then, are you planning to steer the ship alone at night when everyone is asleep…”
“…”
According to Tamamo, how are Roa and Er? And she looked at YuRia.
“Is there anything special? Since this body is also a heavenly body, it is not too much to do without sleeping for several days. Foxes are nocturnal by nature, so she will sleep during the day and talk at night.”
“Thank you for that. Then I’ll sleep in advance…”
Tamamo shook her head.
“Don’t worry, there’s no problem even if you stay up all night tonight.”
Like that. During the night, Tamamo became YuRia’s companion, and she continued her voyage through the night.
“Can we catch up with the boat midway?”
“It will be difficult. Even if it is the same route, it is difficult to face because it is so wide, and above all, the route we are going now is not a regular route.”
“That means…”
YuRia nodded her head.
“That’s right. I’m on my way to Effie Kingdom right now. I’ll have to jump in and find the princess there myself.”
First of all, YuRia’s biggest concern is the customs of Epi.
Since the population is sparsely populated, even a little carelessness can easily cause genetic deterioration due to inbreeding, so a culture of accepting the seeds of travelers has developed here.
Giving her own wife or sister, or her daughter, to her guests.
It is a culture in which guests also give their wives, sisters, or daughters to men in the house to receive seeds from as far away as possible to give birth to healthy children.
However, women’s human rights are strongly ignored. Even in order to maintain such a culture, women’s human rights in Epi were so low that they were nothing more than men’s possessions.
And the members gathered here now. Loa. Yuria, Tamamo, Er.
With the exception of Roa, all three of them are women, so Yuria has devised numerous methods to escape the influence of this culture.
“So this is what I thought about. Loa becomes a woman.”
“Yes?”
“If only her body was slightly modified with magic and her hair was lengthened, would Roa still be very pretty?”
“…”
Roa was disgusted with a very shy expression.
It’s a maid…
Of course, she happened to be a woman a few times, but she didn’t really like Loa because she wasn’t as good as one every time.
“Wait a minute, according to Yuria, isn’t it more dangerous to go alone with women?”
“It’s a little different. Rather, if only women go to sleep, you can take out a horse-drawn carriage and sleep in it. The central point of this culture is the feeling that men exchange women with each other.”
Still, things probably won’t work out for the best.
From fortune telling, it was already the worst.
Still, there wouldn’t be much of a problem if only powerful beings above a certain level appeared somehow.
Even if he can’t use that much power because he gave most of his power to Shindansoo, even Tamamo is a strong being that can be counted among ten fingers in this world. Am.
Loa is also so strong that she can count from the top very quickly, and if she rides Talos, even Aunt Nel Siemens will have to be nervous.
Of course, now she can’t afford to supply Talos’ energy, so she can’t show the strength she had before when she grabbed the line to sell, but that’s where it is.
If Tamamo rides instead of him, he will be at roughly the same level as then.
‘… ‘
Even so, if there was an ominous sign like this, it was probably because something was going to happen to her that she was defiled.
Even if I wanted to ignore it, in this situation where the divination on the side of ignoring was worse, I came out to make it a little less painful, but I think it was something I really wanted to avoid.
Suddenly this exciting voyage turns melancholy
“…”
Someday.
She thought she would try to sail without any worries for once.
It’s not as much as the universe, but it felt good to feel a little bit of freedom to be sailing on such an open sea.
