I Become A Staff Officer In The Demon Army, But I Can Only Do Office Work! - Volume 1 Chapter 16

1-2-6 (As I said, Destroy Everything)

I feel I have a brain cramp after hearing how bad cost to performance Measure 2 had What was that? Did we have some kind of flying in the sky national budget or something?

Seeing my face, Leona immediately tried to explain it to me.

Thats okay! We can create mithril using purification method that only Dwarfs using it to purify Isildin Ore.

I see it was like making aluminium.

In the middle ages, it was aluminium that was worth more than a diamond.

Leona, The development of Measure 2 will be canceled

Why?! its strong no?

You used plenty of rare material if it was not strong then I will hit your head instead

It was reasonable to be strong.

After all, it was made by using a lot of rare materials.

Listen, Leona. We need to develop a weapon that anyone can use anytime, anywhere, other than that, it would make no sense. How are we going to use this one thing?

Like a certain battleship which ended up only floating on some harbor, because it would be a waste if it were sunk

T-Then ma.s.s-produce them

Well, let us a.s.sume we will do that. Leona, how much money do you think we need to spent to prepare the facilities to produce it? Not to mention facilities to fix them in case of damage? Also, how long it would take to create one?

About the facilities and money, I have not yet calculated it but

Then, how long do you need to produce one of this?

Even human of my world could not make this thing in a short time.

I can guess we could not make one monthly.

Year

Hnnn?

3 years

Leona

Yes

We will cancel the development

After a long silence.

Dont wanna.

As expected she answered like that. Of course, with watery eyes as well.

I wont give you anything even if you cry

Uu, please This is my dream you know?!

We cannot win a war with dream alone you know?!

Uhhh

I wont give you anything even if you show me upturned eyes.

I was about to yield, but I manage to restrain myself.

If that the case then I wont develop the transportation machine I wont cooperate at reducing Golem and magic stones as well!

Are you a kid?!

Are you a kid playing truant because you dont want to finish your homework?

Then I will let another person develop something

Another person, theres someone like that?

Of course there are?

Probably

When I thought of that, someone denied my thought

No, probably no one could help you?

huh?

Her Majesty told me that while crossing her arms.

Golems are Leona inventions Other than her, no one could develop Golems

Huh?

Was Leona such amazing person?

But then, how troubling That means the logistic department and development department were not standing equal. It was no good to monopolize something like that. If there were no moderate compet.i.tion, it would be bad

Leona, are you going to use that indispensable att.i.tude of yours every time something like this happen?

Im not that childish you know

With how spiteful her att.i.tude just now, she somehow lacks persuasive power.

Still, that thing cost too much money And the enemy wont wait for us

I wont complain anymore if you let me develop 2-chan! I will listen to anything you say!

Hnn?

Anything she said?

Hey Akira, your face is bad you know?

Oh, please Your Majesty, dont joke like that

I forgot there was a master of mind-reading by my side right now. I have to do my best not to think something weird.

You wont complain anymore?

I wont! As long you let me develop 2-chan!

Absolutely?

Definitely!

Do you swear to G.o.d?

I swear to Her Majesty because G.o.d does not exist!

Fumu That is what she said, Your Majesty

So I heard Leonkun, keep your promise understood?

Of course!

Alright She had sworn under Her Majestys name, It was more reliable compared to swear to G.o.d that had questionable existence.

I guess theres no helping it. Fine, I will let you continue the development of magical-something-whatever. However, that didnt mean I will let you waste money as if it was water, do it within the budget, understood?

Anyway, weve done it like this from the start. Let us admit that Im also a victim of vested privileges.

And if because of continuing the development of a single robo-thing we manage to gain something, at least we can regard it as necessary expenses.

Yap, we can go like that.

Thank you, Akirchan as well, keep your promise alright?

Sure. I swear to Her majesty name, I will keep my promise

When I swear like that, Leona showed a beautiful smile that I never have seen before.

Geez, I wonder who profited the most this time

Whatever, For the time being, at least we have the direction where the development of Golems would go. I guess we should withdraw for today

Understood! Then, Golem-chan, let us clean things up and go back!

No, wait, if we use Her Majesty magic then

I was about to finish my words, but then an idea struck my mind.

Why not use the Golems as transportation machine?

Since I had never seen it before I never thought of it, I thought of creating cars or trains, but here we already have Golems

Leona Sorry for asking this late but, why not use the Golem as a transportation machine?

Not a carriage, we might be able to create a Golem Car

Whatever it was fine, using Golem to power the train might also good

For transportation?

Oi, whats up with that face that is saying I never thought of that before

But you know, Golem is something we made for battle The power required for battle and transport use was different, it cannot be easily changed, and if we use Golem as a transportation machine, we will reduce the amount of Battle golem production no?

I guess, I understand what you want to say

But anyway,

In the first place, the Golem was helpless when facing human force

Besides transportation can be left to horse carriage no? And right now we have no subst.i.tute for battle Golems.

I see But theres also advantages the Golem had over horse-carriage you know?

We need to feed horses, not to mention letting them rest after a long journey

But the story was different for Golems.

They didnt feel fatigue, can be operated remotely or automatically, and we only need magic stones as a replacement for Food and Drink

We might need to prepare repair parts and tools, but Golems were also had higher horses power, and unlike horses, they didnt need rest

Of course, I understand that it is hard to convert battle golems into transportation golems That is why, I will make a formal request, as a logistic department director. I want you to develop Golems for transportations

Golem for transportation huh It might take time since I never done it before

I will expect it If you succeed at making it I will increase the budget for Measure 2 development

I will do it!

Uhuh, how easy

In that way, finally, we can solve two major problems the logistic department had

In various ways, we will decrease the amount of Golems type

And the other would be the establishment of highly efficient transportation

I guess I could regard measure 2 as necessary expenses now

Tentatively speaking, we took one step forward
