**Side: Fiana**
After our skirmish with the Traders, we were supposed to start explaining the Beast Carriage to the Hunter’s Masters and Order’s Masters.
Yamato will be the main speaker, but as one of the developers, I will assist Yamato, and Flam will assist as a High Crafter.
I did ask Ed and Marina, but they both refused, saying it was too troublesome.
Don’t you think that’s terrible?
“As you can see, it’s a ship that runs on land.”
“Yeah. It looks completely out of place in a stable.”
“And it’s more than twice the size of a normal Beast Carriage.”
Normal Beast Carriages are box-shaped, about 2 meters wide and 5 meters deep, and too short for an adult to stand up in.
We had secured a certain amount of space by applying mirroring, but this prototype Beast Carriage is nearly twice that size.
“The way we intend to use it is a little different from the norm, so I’ll explain the functions assuming it’s for Alliance use.”
“Indeed, when it comes to Union use, there are many things that are best kept from public knowledge.”
While everyone is showing understanding, our intended use is different from normal Beast Carriages, ships, and transportation by Dragonians.
In particular, transportation by Dragonian is something only Yamato and Mana can do with Amister, so it’s no exaggeration to say that it’s fundamentally different, not just a little.
“As you can see, it looks like a small ship. You know I’m a guest, right?”
“Indeed. I was quite surprised.”
“This exterior is based on the small ships from my world. I have a lot of other designs, but this is just my preference, so to speak.”
There were indeed ships of various exteriors.
However, Yamato prefers this simple design, and we didn’t intend to make it too flashy either, so it’s designed to suit Yamato’s wishes.
“The concept for Alliance use is to move with a small number of vehicles and to deploy forces instantly when needed. Therefore, this Beast Carriage can carry up to about 50 people, excluding us.”
“Th-that’s amazing…”
“It is indeed amazing, but it’s normal for Alliances to travel in their own Beast Carriages. If you can carry 50 people in one, you might be able to manage with just one vehicle, but what’s the reason you want to do that?”
“First is the marching speed. Traveling in separate Beast Carriages means you have to match the speed of the slowest one. But if everyone can fit in one, you don’t have to worry about that. Second is observation. I’ve only participated in an Alliance once, but they assigned lookouts to each Beast Carriage and rotated them, so they couldn’t let their guard down even while moving. If we can do it with just one vehicle, everyone except the lookouts can rest, and you can plan strategies during that time, which would save time.”
The Hunter’s Masters and the Order members were convinced by Yamato’s explanation.
Furthermore, it will be possible to have familiars pull them in turns, reducing the burden on the familiars, and it will also be easier to foster camaraderie among the participants.
“Also, as you can see, it has a front deck and a rear deck, just like a ship. The front deck has a driver’s seat, but we’ve prepared a decent amount of space.”
“Indeed, besides the driver, a few people can come out.”
“The rear deck is even wider.”
The front deck, excluding the driver, has space for about five people to sit, and the rear deck is wide enough for about ten people to sit comfortably.
The rear deck also has an entrance for familiars, so there are no chairs, but it’s covered with Grand Deathwurm hide in some areas, so the cushioning is superb.
“Being able to go out to the back not only prevents surprise attacks from behind but also allows you to go out on the deck even while moving, dispelling the feeling of confinement compared to always being inside the carriage.”
“That is certainly true. When traveling by Beast Carriage, it’s difficult to see the rear. However, by having a deck at the rear, we’ve solved that problem and, above all, it liberates us somewhat from the inconvenience of being inside the carriage for long periods.”
“However, the rear deck of this Beast Carriage also serves as a familiar entrance, so we primarily intend to use it to alleviate feelings of confinement. Therefore, lookouts will be stationed in the observation deck built on top of the cabin.”
“On top of the cabin? I thought there was something there, but it was an observation deck?”
I think the observation deck is a revolutionary idea.
On a deck, you have to divide it into front and rear, requiring more lookouts.
However, the observation deck allows for all-around observation, requiring fewer people than going out onto the deck, and the view from there is also magnificent.
“I see, that’s certainly the case.”
“So that’s why there’s no awning on the deck. I thought being a lookout in the rain would be the worst, but if it’s just for occasional use, I can accept that.”
“Furthermore, in case of emergency, a large number of people can wait on the deck, allowing for immediate deployment of forces. This is the third reason.”
In fact, it was exactly like that during the battle against Demi-humans on the 7th Level of the Instant Labyrinth.
Normally, you would have to disembark one by one from the Beast Carriage door, but with this prototype Beast Carriage, you just need to be waiting on the deck and jump off.
“Indeed, it is certainly useful for Alliances, and truly attractive for Orders.”
“We actually used it that way on the 7th Level, and the swift deployment contributed to preventing the Demi-humans from coordinating.”
Slayer added, and the other Raid Leaders nodded in agreement.
Furthermore, with archers stationed in the observation deck, they can provide support from a high vantage point, and the awning can also defend against attacks from above, so while it’s not absolutely safe, the archers’ burden is significantly reduced.
By the way, the awning of the prototype Beast Carriage is made of a synthetic leather synthesized from Fortress Whale, Aqua Dragoon, and Dark Dragoon, so it won’t budge with a mere attack.
“It’s comparable to a Battle Tank. No, considering the number of people it can carry, it’s superior in terms of combat power.”
Michaela said, half impressed and half bewildered, but as Crafters, we were aiming to surpass Battle Tanks, so her evaluation made us happy.
Well, you could say we were out of control.
“That’s true. But as Yamato-kun said, the ability for swift troop deployment is significant. The burden on lookouts will also be reduced, so you won’t have to be constantly on edge.”
“It’s also good that archers can be positioned on the observation deck.”
“Then, next, I will show you the interior.”
With that, Yamato led everyone into the Mirror Room.
“Wh-what, this space!”
“Indeed, you said it could hold 50 people excluding the Wing Crest, but I never imagined it would be this spacious…”
Beyond the cabin is a living room of 100 square meters.
“All of our Beast Carriages were destroyed, so we were allowed to accompany you in this Beast Carriage, and we didn’t feel any inconvenience at all.”
“Rather, it was more comfortable than our own Beast Carriages.”
“If I had to say one thing, the lack of toilets might be a drawback.”
Slayer and Caesar were full of praise, but Frau hesitantly pointed out a problem.
We have secured 20 square meters for toilets, but when transporting nearly 50 people, it was chaos, especially in the morning, though it’s usually manageable.
Especially for women…
“It’s good that we found that out with the prototype. It’s a great advantage for us to have people like Slayer and his group ride with us.”
“I see. Indeed, you tend to view things from the perspective of the creator. So, even if you think it’s sufficient, when you actually use it, inconveniences become apparent. Since it’s a prototype, it can be modified in any way, but once it’s completed, that’s not possible. That’s certainly a big advantage.”
“Also, since we use this for our daily travels, the guest rooms are quite spacious, but it’s a communal sleeping arrangement. We have secured sleeping space, but I apologize for that.”
Yamato opened one of the guest rooms to show them, and I do feel apologetic about that.
We have provided proper bedding, so it might be more comfortable than ordinary beds, but it’s still a communal sleeping arrangement.
“It-it’s huge. The beds… are those. Can I try lying down?”
“Please do.”
“Thank you. Your Majesty, if you’ll excuse me.”
“Ah. Please feel free to check it out.”
His Majesty gave permission with a mischievous smile, but since we are the guides, it’s necessary to check the comfort of the beds.
“Wh-what is this!?”
“Amazing, it’s so comfortable…”
Grave and Gadler were surprised, but Michaela had a melting expression. I understand how they feel.
“We used Grand Deathwurm for the sleeping areas. We have proper bedrooms, but those who use the guest rooms have to sleep communally, so we felt sorry about that.”
“Grand Deathwurm!? Where did you defeat it?!”
“In the Solpre Labyrinth.”
Gadler was speechless. We defeated two Grand Deathwurms, but one was sold in Float, so we can’t afford to waste them, but we still have to use them to check their usability.
Fortunately, in the Instant Labyrinth, Yamato and Prim each defeated one Grand Worm, and the Alliance defeated two, so we can substitute them.
“Y-Your Majesty, I apologize for showing such an unbecoming sight…”
“I-I’m sorry…”
Grave and Michaela, snapping back to reality, apologized to His Majesty with flushed faces.
“It’s fine. We felt the same way. While it’s difficult to use Grand Deathwurm, it’s more cost-effective than preparing beds.”
In fact, His Majesty and his entourage have seen what these guest rooms are like and have lain on the Grand Deathwurm beds, reacting the same way as Grave and Michaela. We could have prepared beds, but that would have made securing space difficult, and from a cost perspective, it would have been cheaper to prepare sleeping areas on a part of the floor. It would also eliminate the need to move injured people to beds, which might reduce the effort of carrying them, though it might be difficult to nurse them, so that’s something to consider.
“I understand that this Beast Carriage is amazing, but a Beast Carriage of this caliber… even if used in an Alliance, you can’t just put it in someone’s storage, can you?”
Gadler voiced the biggest problem with using it in an Alliance. Alliance Leaders, and those of similar stature, can store even a Beast Carriage of this size in their storage. However, if that person dies, the Beast Carriage will be permanently inaccessible from storage, meaning it’s as good as gone. Yamato has also proposed a solution for this.
“I believe we can set up a dedicated storage bag for the Beast Carriage and have a familiar carry it and send it back. Information transmission using familiar magic is essential, so if we add the Beast Carriage to that, we can at least return the Beast Carriage to town. Since the contractor of that familiar might die, it will take a little extra effort to re-summon it.”
This is Yamato’s plan. By including a dedicated storage bag for the Beast Carriage, storage will not be an issue even during normal times. If we use the magic called Locking that I proposed, even if the storage bag is stolen, we can prevent it from being used without permission. By processing it into a magic tool key and making a few spare keys, we can prevent it from becoming unusable, even if the Alliance Leader dies, by using the spare keys. The problem is that if the person scheduled to re-summon the familiar dies, we won’t be able to summon the familiar that was carrying the storage bag. However, since it’s difficult to predict when the Alliance will end, once the battle is over, we can summon it once, report the completion of the subjugation, and send it back with a note indicating who will be re-summoning it, and then re-summon it, which should solve the issue.
“Hmm, it’s not a bad countermeasure.”
“Indeed. It’s true that re-summoning takes some effort, but considering all the safety measures, we shouldn’t begrudge that effort. No, it’s not uncommon for familiars not to participate in battles, so considering the reporting, it might not even be considered an effort.”
Many of the familiars are C-rank Battle Horses, Wyverns, Grantpus, and Preciser, so they are rarely summoned in Alliance battles. The targets of Alliance subjugation are An Species and Catastrophe Species, which are mostly high-ranking monsters, so C-rank familiar monsters would just get killed. Also, there’s the matter of information exchange using familiar magic, so that’s where the focus is. Familiars that can participate in Alliance battles are exceptions, such as the Hippogriffs contracted by Yamato and Prim, the Friezas Tiger contracted by P-rank Hunter Certina of Torencia, and Summoning Magic users like Mana. Summoning mages can also use the magic power of their summoned beasts, so even if the summoned beast is a C-rank monster, it can be a significant enhancement to their combat power.
“Your Majesty, will the Grand Order’s Master also be guided at Float?”
“I would like to, but Tolman is still in Memoria, so I will likely have Associate Order’s Master Dianos show him instead. Do you like it?”
“Yes. If possible, I would like it to be deployed to each branch of the Order’s Guild.”
“I apologize for asking when we’ve just updated our equipment, but I believe it to be extremely useful in times of emergency.”
His Majesty wants to supply it to each branch of the Order’s Guild, but there are no issues. After all, the Order’s Guild has just recently updated its equipment. They have used Jade Silver for all Order equipment, which alone has incurred a considerable budget. On top of that, with new Beast Carriages, I have no idea how much budget will be spent.
“I would like to do so as well, but since this Beast Carriage is still a prototype, we don’t know when it will be completed. Furthermore, the budget is tight, so if we deploy it, Count Bernstein’s Territory and the Count Crystolos’ Territory will likely be prioritized.”
Grave and Michaela are disappointed, but there’s nothing we can do about it.
“Hunter’s Master, wouldn’t it be good for the Hunter’s Guild to own at least one for Alliance use?”
“I would like to, but I can’t make that decision alone. I will report to the Grand Hunter’s Master, but I don’t know what will happen. Also, how much does this Beast Carriage cost?”
“It’s a prototype, and some of the Crafters at Feel were caught up in the excitement, so it’s over 5 million El.”
“That’s too much!”
Gadler’s retort came immediately after Yamato mentioned the amount. It’s true that some of the Crafters at Feel got carried away. However, if we were to actually build it, depending on the materials used, it would cost less than half that amount. The stables wouldn’t need to be as large as this prototype Beast Carriage, the mirroring would only need to be 30 times, and we wouldn’t need to pay as much attention to the interior. We also wouldn’t need to make it transportable by Dragonians or usable as a ship. By making a normal box-shaped Beast Carriage larger and adding a deck and observation deck, it should be sufficient. Of course, when we actually build it, we will also create a proper design. The appearance of a Beast Carriage is also important.
