Souvenirs from Van

Well, let's start with the foundation. Just as I was thinking that, a yell echoed from behind me.

"Here he comes...!  Baron Van!  You have been disrespectful to His Majesty...!"

He's really angry, isn't he?

While breaking out in a cold sweat at the sound of yelling footsteps approaching, I quickly set to work.

First, a huge base on wheels. Since I had already made several of these for Seat Village, I was able to complete one of the foundations in the blink of an eye.

Magic is something you get used to if you do it a lot.

And just as he had planned, the footsteps and yelling stopped as soon as the foundation was completed.

With a sigh of relief, we continued to build the upper catapult section.

A pillar stood up, a large shaft was formed, and a core rod sprouted. It was an interesting sight, even for me. It was almost like watching a well-done clay animation.

Another huge axis appeared on both sides, as if to wrap around the core rod, and from there the rod grew back and forth. At first glance, it looks like a big seesaw, but what is inside is evil.

Mithril alloys and other materials are used for the spring, shaft, bearings, core rod, and other parts that are subjected to strong loads.

The resulting Van's super-strong catapult was worthy of being a stunner to the public.

A single carriage can carry enough material for one catapult. The size of the completed catapult was also impressive.

While everyone else was frozen in place with their eyes wide open, I made a second catapult.

Then Count Venturi, who had finally finished rebooting the catapult, shouted out.

"Hey, hey, what the hell is this!?"

When I turned around at the sound of that voice, I saw not only Count Venturi, but also My Daddy, Arte Daddy, and Panamera in front of the pavilion.

Then, after a delay, His Majesty comes out accompanied by several knights.

"Oh!  So this is Baron Van's new weapon!"

His Majesty was the first to approach the catapult saying so, followed from behind by Panamera with a wry smile on his face.

"You've built up something quite fancy again."

Panamera commented in an exasperated manner.

"No, no. The really fancy part is when it actually works. Enjoy."

With that lighthearted reply, I went on to make more catapults and a lightweight ballista.

After everything was complete, I looked back at His Majesty.

"Well. I entrust this catapult, the ballista set, and my prized knighthood to Viscount Panamera."

When he said this, His Majesty and Panamera nodded silently.

Then, the senior nobles, who had remained motionless and stunned until then, opened their mouths.

"Wait a minute!"

"None of you have any doubts about this? What is this magic?"

Camsin, who was standing next to the carriage, unconsciously reached for the hilt of his sword as Count Venturi came in shouting at him.

Count Venturi as well as the surrounding knights change the atmosphere as Camsin turns to face him with a slight bow of the hips.

In the midst of the rapid tension, I dare to grab Camsin by the scruff of the neck and pull him back.

"I am sorry, my boy. In the presence of my father, let us leave without further ado. If you wish to hear more, ask Viscount Panamera. Good day."

He bowed and took another step back, and Camsin hurriedly bowed and stepped back as well.
