118 – Judge, this thing was invented by my dwarves. (2)
After passing through an hour of hell, we landed on the land ruled by the warm Mother Goddess.
Ah, is this the feeling Neil Armstrong felt when he landed on the moon?
ㅡ Making a fuss….
As we landed, a large crowd of spectators filled the square.
Anyway, the spectators seemed to have jumped out, including farmers who went out to fields and merchants who opened stores.
Maybe it was lunch time, so a few academy students in school uniform stood out.
I can feel the gaze that is more burdensome than usual.
“Kuhm. Hurry up and get in.”
Krueger shook his head as if he was getting dizzy.

Then I ordered a worker to quickly retrieve the hot air balloon and got on the carriage.
So we hurriedly returned to the studio.
“Whoa…. With this, the hot air balloon is also complete.”
Kruger rubbed his shoulders and put on a satisfied expression.
I used to be so scared, but now I feel more satisfied that I have succeeded in conquering the sky.
“It is a very interesting device, but its use will be very limited.”
“I have no choice but to do that.”
When I first explained hot air balloons, I was worried that they would be used for military purposes.
If you use the telescope in a hot air balloon, you will achieve results that are incomparable to ordinary skirmishers.
However, this was a place where hot air balloons had difficult conditions.
First of all, flying dragons that are far more dangerous than birds fly in the sky.
They don’t like the cold, so they don’t live around Oklea, but they often appear in areas where the weather is relatively warm.
When an unknown object like a hot air balloon flies around, it’s almost as if it’s going to attack the hot air balloon because it’s a f*cking personality.
So, the lands that can be used are very limited.
As a bonus, there is a mysterious power called the protection of the stars in this world.
Even if an ordinary arrow doesn’t reach it, there are plenty of ways to shoot it down with fantasy methods.
Thanks to that, I was able to introduce this hot air balloon without much thought.
Of course, there will be a lot of commotion.
Even if the use is limited, it means that mankind’s hands have reached the sky.
Perhaps sooner or later there will be uproar from all over the place, and an envoy will be formed to come and visit Aucklia.
Still, there are 4 dwarves here, so why not pretend that the dwarves’ technological prowess is that great?
“Kuhh…. A beer after work is awesome.”
“It’s still difficult to get drunk, right?”
“Will you take this much? So, what kind of principle is that typewriter?”
I thought he would want to drink a little more of his success, but it seems that he was interested in the typewriter.
“Didn’t you say that you could write faster with that typewriter?”
“Isn’t it?”
“Then wouldn’t the frequency of your visits to the workshop increase?”
I guess so… ?
“So I want to make it soon. Come up with an idea quickly.”
“Uh, uh uh….”
I didn’t know you could say that you made a typewriter with that kind of thinking.
Anyway, if you make it, I’ll be grateful.
“Now, this is how a typewriter feels.”
A dwarf who built a steam engine model and conquered the sky with a hot air balloon.
A typewriter is definitely possible.
A typewriter is simpler than you think.
“First of all, it is a square frame like this.”
I described the exterior of the typewriter with a pen.
“This seems to be the flow of putting paper into this space. But wouldn’t the paper be eaten this way?”
“It’s a way to put a circular cylinder here and turn the paper over once so that it comes up.”
“Is it really necessary?”
“It’s hard to write if you start writing from the bottom up.”
“Ummm… Could there be a problem with the ink smearing?”
“That’s it.”
“Now, how to keep the ink from drying out is also important.”
“I will use ink. You know that too, right?”
“We made it, don’t you know? Eat….”
“I installed two of them here like a video tape, so it feels like they move sideways every time I use them….”
“What is a videotape?”
“Ummm… is that hard to explain? Can we just say two skeins of thread?”
I drew the part to install the ink in the picture of the typewriter.
“Call this barrel of carbon paper a ribbon. But I don’t know the origin either, so I hope you give it a comfortable name.”
“Then can’t we just call it a food container?”
“… Is that so?”
The ink that is as wide as a thumb nail wrapped around this ink tube replaces the role of ink to print letters on white paper.
“I think I know a little bit now. Is it a form of stamping it with something engraved with letters like a wooden board, so that the writing comes out?”
“Oh, you know that?”
I also drew the keyboard part of the typewriter.
“What is this class member doing here?”
“Is this square box? It has to do with this.”
“Why does it need to be like this?”
“With relatively little space?”
“Hmm….”
I don’t know the details, but this would be correct.
“To put it in words, it means that you carve letters into this square like a wooden board, and make a mechanical device that works with it, so that the wooden board automatically stamps ink and makes the letters come out?”
“That’s right.”
“What are you going to do with capital letters?”
The character of Mare is similar to English, so the first letter of a sentence is capitalized.
It’s an easy-to-recognize way of expressing that this is the beginning of a new sentence.
“I made a button called Big Text here, and when I press it, this circle goes down one space.”
“Um… It seems that they carve both uppercase and lowercase letters on the woodblock, and adjust the position of the woodblock so that the uppercase letters are stamped when capital letters are needed.”
“It’s okay to pretend.”
“Hmm, interesting idea. First of all, you can’t engrave the text in the same place, so you should arrange a device to move the paper sideways, right?”
“Uh… Also, you need to add a line change function and a space function.”
“Spaces are simple, but if you change lines, ugh….”
“I thought you manually moved it back to the left after changing the line?”
“Is that so? Certainly, if it was manual, the conditions would be a little easier. But since this is my first time making equipment, it will take some time.”
“Please. But how long will it take?”
“It’s a pretty delicate job, so it’s hard to be sure how much. When it’s done, I’ll call you first.”
Kryuger seems to have already understood the principles, so I wonder if it will come out if I wait enough for about a month.
In the meantime, uncompensated volumes 4-5, Chapter 4 of Seven’s Tale should be finished.
“Mmm. It’s hot anyway.”
As I was thinking about my future schedule, Kruger noticed me while wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Anyway, this seems to be the case.
ㅡ Ice cream!
Is that right?
“Ice… No, Oklia will prepare it so you can eat as much as you want.”
“As expected, you know something!”
Originally, these things should be exchanged.
Things will get much better when typewriters come out, so shouldn’t we make sure we eat enough ice cream?
“Still, if you eat too much, you will get a stomachache, so eat in moderation.”
“Okay, so get ready quickly.”
Kruger waved his hand, saying, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of myself.”
Dwarves tend to be a bit impulsive, right?
People from other tribal unions still enjoy cotton candy.
But dwarves eat cotton candy until they get sick of it, and now they don’t eat it because they’re bitten.
I’m sure you won’t eat ice cream just because you’re bitten after eating it until you get a stomach ache.
In the end, I wonder if I can return to the starting point and enjoy only alcohol and snacks.
“Are you finished?”
“Okay, let’s go back now.”
“Umm, I’ll be back in a little while, so go back by yourself.”
Saying that, Bertus slid aside.
It seems that he was considerate of me and Angelica.
As expected, he’s a person who shouldn’t be judged by his appearance….
I climbed into the carriage and closed the door, and Angelica took my hand.
“Are you injured anywhere?”
“It’s okay.”
It seems that he was quite worried about his expression and his slightly trembling hands.
“There was someone who kept following us. Is that you?”
“Yes.”
“Did you follow us to catch me from below if I fell?”
“Yes.”
Huh.
“Don’t worry, I’m busy now so I won’t ride.”
“I hope you will.”
“This is what I suggested, but if you pull your feet out because you’re scared, isn’t the picture a bit like that? I won’t do that next time.”
Honestly, I was curious, but I was afraid that the hole in the center of the basket would fall out.
“Really….”
Angelica let out a short sigh and leaned her shoulder on my shoulder.
“Please be within reach of me wherever you go.”
“Uh, uh uh.”
If Angelica had been born as a man, she would have made several women cry.
Miss Angelica is not just cute.
“Why is that?”
“Just.”
If I explain what I was thinking, I will arrive home without having time to chat, so for now I just wanted to enjoy my time like this.
So she decided to keep her mouth shut.
***
It was said that they would finish the 2nd to 5th volumes of Unrewarded in 2 months, but if they set it as the standard of 2 months, there will be a slight problem.
The point is that it overlaps with the time to prepare for the next story of Seven’s Tales.
Now that Mi-compensation is on the trend, the writings are coming out well.
So, before breaking the flow, you have to finish the 4th and 5th volumes first.
It was the moment when I tried to write by locking myself in my room with such thoughts.
Suddenly, I felt a tumultuous atmosphere, and soon after, I heard a knock.
For some reason, it felt like something was about to start.
… And it became a reality.
“What the hell is that thing flying through the sky?!”
“I went to the studio and they said it was a hot air balloon. Is this also something you made?”
“I heard the story! Are you making a writing tool with a machine, not a pen this time?”
“When will that typewriter come out? How do you plan to treat it?”
“If you’re not rude, please tell the writer that we’re here on an urgent business!”
I am an aristocrat, and merchants are commoners, even if they have a lot of money.
Even so, the merchants had already lost their temper enough to come to my house in socks without making an appointment.
Quang!
But the uproar didn’t last long.
As Angelica stomped her feet, releasing her bloody energy, her electrifying aura spread around her.
“Discern the place, where do you think this is?”
Angelica placed her hand on the handle of her sword and glared at the merchants, who finally found reason and started swallowing dry saliva and lowering their heads.
This is a situation in which merchants should thank Angelica.
It could develop into a bigger problem if you do something wrong, so it’s a warning situation.
Anyway, since Angelica seems to have noticed me too, she should leave soon….
Ah, Ibosho.
I am just a writer.
They’re not made by me!
Those things were made by the dwarves who owe us a home!
Anyway, the appearance of hot air balloons and typewriters seemed to bring another uproar.
