This is the first of a few chapters that were done by Silent before he left the project. Please thank him and check on his translation of Legend!
Here’s the synopsis for Legend in case you’re curious.
Living in the Tohoku countryside, Saeki Reiji lost his life in an accident during summer vacation……However, he found himself in a white world with a strange glowing orb in front of his eyes. The orb claimed to be a magician of a different world, and he was looking for a person who would inherit the magic he had perfected in order to prevent the knowledge from disappearing. With that, Reiji, equipped with a new body and powerful magic, went to live in the world of Elgin
Enjoy the chapter
04-01 First Flight
After admiring the port town Port Rock, Jin once again returned to Hourai Island.
After spending 10 days in Port Rock, his next plan was to visit the Imperial Aristocracy of Cecilio with Reinhardt.
They got a lot of things from Port Rock. Fish sauce could be found but sadly there wasn’t any rice.
「Ahh…as I thought, baths are great.」
There were only showers in Port Rock, so for the first time in a while, Jin was relaxing in a morning bath.
「Father, I will wash your back.」
The line was from Reiko. While she had the appearance of a 10 year old girl, she was actually a super automata, capable of fighting an entire country.
「Ah, thanks.」
While having his back washed by Reiko, Jin was thinking of the future.
「I want to make a high speed vehicle, firstly, an airplane that uses a magic jet propulsion engine.」
A jet engine that uses wind magic. Making jet planes before propeller planes is something could happen in this unique world with magic.
After getting out of the bath, Jin prepared a large amount of 《Light Silver》.
《Light Silver》is light and a good conductor of magic power. Its identity is the element with the atomic number 22, Titanium, with the 26 neutrons replaced with magic particles.
(TLSilent : trouble with 魔力子, have translated it as magic particles for now)
It was no wonder that Jin chose this as the material for the aircraft. It was also decided that the windshield would be made from crystal.
With the materials decided, it was possible to start production immediately.
「Hmm…first is normal tapered wings, we don’t want swept wings.」
From the beginning, it wasn’t planned to exceed the speed of sound.
「Now, where to install the engine?」
The thrust should be along the aircrafts centre of gravity to make it easy to balance.
「It can be put at the back, just before the air intake.」
Gradually it began to take shape.
「The problem is the flight control system.」
You couldn’t make a real airplane cockpit from a model one. There wasn’t that much information from games.
「Well, elevator control stick, rudder, this probably moves the ailerons,」
He decided on the operation of the plane from very scant knowledge.
「Throttle and brake, brake has to connect to the flaps, 」
Working intently, Jin finished it. The mass of 《Light Silver》had now turned into an airplane, shining in silver.
「Autopilot is not possible but it’ll survive running by itself for a while.」
Just like the time when constructing a golem, and with the previous experience of making a glider golem, a navigation aid system was assembled.
In this way, it was a prototype made from a mash up of technologies.
「Done.」
That afternoon, the first prototype aircraft was completed. 5 parallel runways were made by golem No. 1, under the command of the Land Developer Topaz.
(TLSilent: I think that’s what it means…)
「Well, let’s test fly it.」
Jin was about to elatedly board when,
「Father, please wait.」
Reiko stopped him.
「According to what you said, this magic device is going to fly in the sky?」
「Ah, yes.」
「Although I believe in father’s technology, if by any chance it breaks, what will you do? 」
「……」
He hadn’t considered it and didn’t have parachute.
「Please let me try first father.」
