How can a retired savior be considered retired if his price drops to 40,000?

Chapter 42 Golden Corn Growth Diary
After the Storm Boundary docked in the Lion's Mane's Gnaku, Somny, who did not need to maintain the operation of the entire submarine for the time being, had no work to complete.

That doesn't mean he'll be idle: there's always work to be done, it just depends on whether one wants to do it or not.

Although Fujimaru Ritsuka said that he could take this opportunity to rest for a few days, the expression of the word "rest" on humans is completely different from that on ships.

Somny did stop his activities briefly to conduct self-repair and maintenance, and to ensure that he was still in top condition - and then, he took it for granted that his "rest" had ended perfectly.

After restarting, Somni briefly looked around at the furnishings in the main control room. After realizing once again that there would be no more work for him to handle here for the time being, he turned around and left.

There is always no end to the work, especially on this small ship where the operation and maintenance personnel are stretched thin.

Somni walked quietly in the white corridors of the Stormbound.That golden armor should have produced all kinds of noises during its movement - the sound of the servo system running, the sound of joints moving and rubbing, the sound of heavy footsteps landing - but it didn't.

This has nothing to do with skill, it's just that the various concealment devices carried on board the Emperor's Dream perfectly eliminate all the sounds he might make while walking.

If he wished, he could even eliminate his own form without any fuss, but inside the Storm Boundary, this behavior was not only meaningless, but might also cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

He headed down the corridor toward his target.The interior of Storm Frontier is much larger than it looks from the outside, and its path is also complicated and sometimes even changes due to some reasons, but this does not trouble Somni.

He could sometimes vaguely feel that the ship itself was conscious.He was able to gain knowledge about the ship from the other party.

Considering that after the 40th millennium of mankind, things like "machine souls" were also well-known and existed by default, Somni was not too surprised that the Storm Frontier was "conscious".

He has just been "born", so he doesn't know whether other ships will gradually develop consciousness during use, let alone whether the other ship, as the conscious body of "Storm Boundary", claims to be named "Nemo" Is this normal? He just recorded the individual name after a brief exchange with the other party and confirmed that friendly cooperation was possible, and transferred the knowledge and records needed by the other party to each other.

Overall, Somny's relationship with "Nemo" is pretty good.Although there are occasional pointless disputes between them about "who is better in terms of ship function", generally speaking, such disputes end without any problem, so it cannot be said that they have ever had a conflict.At least when Somny asked Nemo about exploring the need for a suitable workplace, he always got a concise and correct answer.

Just like now, if there is no corresponding prompt, I am afraid that he will interpret the "tailor room" or "warehouse" marked on the ship's interior plan in the data as literal meaning.But after consulting Nemo, the other party said that if you want to make clothes for the Master, you should still go to the "Da Vinci Workshop".

All of Fujimaru Ritsuka's formal costumes so far were produced there.

Although the initial contact with the Lion's Mane has been blurred in public memory due to redaction, it still reminded Somni of the issue of "formal attire".

Although under the militaristic background of the empire, various combat uniforms, including power armor, are naturally regarded as a type of "formal clothing" and will not be criticized on most occasions, but one of them is casual wear. As their activities gradually become known to more imperial institutions, there will always be occasions when "it is better to wear military uniforms"; secondly, many of Fujimaru Ritsuka's magic costumes that can actually be used in actual combat are seen by the imperial people. It's really not a "combat uniform" enough - even the Ortenaus Spirit Base exoskeleton is pretty good, at least it can clearly see the structure of the "exoskeleton".

Thirdly, and what Somni considers to be the most important point, Fujimaru Ritsuka is the emperor's personally chosen envoy to the throne. On some occasions, her words and deeds represent the emperor's will.Therefore, whether she likes it or not, she must dress appropriately for such an occasion.But it is obviously too late to start preparing when you actually encounter such an occasion.

Somny, who had served as the emperor's flagship for a period of time and was therefore very familiar with the various etiquette and regulations involved, believed that he needed to prepare for a rainy day.

There is no Leonardo da Vinci in the current "Da Vinci Workshop", but the workshop itself still retains almost the distinctive personal color of its owner.

This was not the first time Somni entered this room, but this did not prevent him from still having the illusion of entering another world due to the strong impact of contrasting decorative styles: completely contrary to the mainstream decorative style of the empire in the corridor, In contrast to the design style that can almost be called simple and cold, the colors and furnishings inside the workshop are filled with a warm clutter.There are all kinds of strange finished products, semi-finished products, and even half-drawn design drafts placed everywhere, and the raw materials used to make these things are just placed randomly.

Somny could see the specific functions of a small part of the things, and he could also see that another small part was left in place simply for the sake of beauty or commemorative significance, but he really couldn't see the other "magic-related" things. Make meaningful analysis, and these things account for the majority in this workshop.Fortunately, he didn't come here to look for these things. He just wanted to find some "actual" raw materials: the cloak he made for Fujimaru Ritsuka was completely woven by his magic power.It is not difficult to do this quickly using the dressmaking room on the Emperor's Dream, but it is another matter when long-term preservation is required.

This room may have been large, but the crowded furnishings made the actual usable space somewhat stretched, especially for a giant like Somni.Therefore, he cautiously stood in the open space at the door. First, he scanned the entire room. After confirming where the things he needed were, he went deep into it. Finally, he took them away without damaging the original furnishings as much as possible. his goal.

It was a bit difficult for a man of such size, but Somni managed to do it in the end.He left with several kinds of fabrics and threads he needed, ready to find a space more suitable for his body type for the next work.And the moment he turned around, he caught a glimpse of several small, child-like black figures poking their heads at the door.

There should be no children like that on the ship, but Somni knew that those were extensions of the Storm Frontier's own will - the specific number was a bit ambiguous, and the models were difficult to tell immediately, but they were indeed "Nemo" "a part of.

It is these little shadows that perform excellent daily maintenance and repair work on the Storm Frontier. After all, the ship itself knows better where the problems that will cause obstacles to its operation lie.

Considering that Fujimaru Ritsuka can turn the Emperor's Dream into a Custodes and walk around, it's not too surprising that she can turn the Storm Frontier into many small black shadows to defend itself.Somni accepted this matter quickly. He calmly nodded to these small fellows who seemed to be hidden in the black mist, and could not even see their facial features clearly. Then he passed them and left the room, preparing to Continue your work.

However, he walked about 20 meters and passed a fork in the road. He finally realized through the constant sound of footsteps behind him that he seemed to be stuck by these little things.

Somni stopped and turned around. Four - looking carefully, they should all be "Sailor Nemo" type individuals, neatly decorated behind him, also stopped, raised their heads and said silently. Stare at him.

It took him a while to remember that such a "shadow follower" seemed to have no language communication function and could only execute some preset simple commands.And as long as this period of time lasted, the silence in this corridor lasted.

Then, Somny realized that his kind did not have as many extended functions as himself, and the "Nemo Series" itself was only tasked with maintaining the Storm Frontier itself.When the ships are temporarily put into storage and do not require maintenance, they will naturally become idle.It stands to reason that they should naturally retreat at this time and wait for Fujimaru Ritsuka's next call, but why...

"Are you out of work for the time being?" Somni asked tentatively.

The shadow followers of the Nemo series nodded in silence, and even more surrounded Somni in the center.The latter didn't quite understand why this happened, but he did inexplicably read the obvious curiosity in the faces of those little black shadows.

This made him swallow back his next question: It was normal for old-style small ships to be curious about large ships like his that were entirely made of the Empire's cutting-edge technology.

Somny, who thought he had found the answer, hesitated for a moment, decided not to deal with the four Nemo individuals in any special way, and turned around to continue advancing his work.And in the eyes of Nemo, this was a kind of acquiescence of "Let's come together" - so in the empty corridor, the golden giant dragged four small black figures behind it, heading towards Somni All the furnishings were assigned to a personal room that was one size larger.

This group of five "people", one big, four small, will spend the entire day doing other work.It was quite an interesting scene if anyone saw it.

　Useful but useless everyday things.jpg
　　It is filled with some misunderstandings from Hammer’s unique personal perspective.

　　Storm Border was originally Captain Nemo's Noble Phantasm, the Nautilus. It was modified by Xion and Leonardo da Vinci so that it could exist in reality and be used at any time (?).Therefore, even if it crosses the border, there will still be a bit of Captain Nemo's spiritual energy in it (and then recognized by Somni as a machine spirit).

　　Black Shadow Nemo is the Shadow Servant Nemo (the loose version) that Ritsuka pulled out of the Spiritual Portrait. His behavior is more mechanical than that of a real heroic spirit.He usually has tasks that require ship maintenance, so he doesn't show up much, but when he's free, his curious nature comes out.

　　Still feeling yang, but the fever has finally subsided and I am in low spirits.All in all, it’s still two days (in terms of word count).
