Editing Horizon:Volume 1A Preface

==Installation==
*P-01s

I had already designed a lot of automated dolls, some of which had appeared in other stories, but since she's the main heroine this time I opted for some new features.

Her basis is that of a living body, and she's of the type whose joints are coated. 

The heat circulation isn’t very efficient, so the skin has the tendency of sweating easily. 

The coated parts, as well as the sides of her upper and lower body, the area from the neck to above the chest, and both her arms and fingers, are made of a soft black material. 

[[Image:Horizon1A_000b.jpg|thumb|'''P-01s Setting Image''']]

In the "setting image" on the right, her neck and shoulders are black too, but not because she's wearing something; it’s just her skin color. 

Below this region, she is made of exactly the same material as a normal person, so it might be easier to imagine that if she takes off her clothes, there would be a black shirt tucked above her chest.

The reason that her arms and neck are entire black is because her motor parts are packed tightly in those regions. 

Her four limbs and head can be separated for maintenance (in the case of a long-term maintenance of the head it’s necessary have a preservation system), but cleaning the joints, changing lubricants, or other small maintenances are performed through the hidden socket in the white region of each part.

On each side of the head, the heat radiators above and the various types of sensors below the ears could be seen.

It looks like her ears are covered by headphones because the base of the sensors is positioned below each ear.

When she is trying to distinguish sounds, you can imagine her putting her hand in the headphone.


Her clothes aren’t that of a maid, but something like a sweater to give her a homey image (other reasons will be explained later in the novel). 

Below, she wears an inner suit that has the top in the form of a tube. 

Furthermore, the black color covering her legs are part of the inner suit and the leg armor, and under that, her legs are mostly made the same as normal people.

<span style="border-bottom: 3px solid #ED121D;">In the distant future</span>, there was a need to <span style="border-bottom: 3px solid #ED121D;">restart the world’s history</span>. 

But in the middle ages, <span style="border-bottom: 3px solid #ED121D;">Far East Japan</span> caused a crisis in the world, which resulted in its <span style="border-bottom: 3px solid #ED121D;">separation and control by the Academies of all the nations in the world</span>. 

As the environment outside of the Far East was uninhabitable, the various nations could not return to their homelands, so while under the control of every nation in the world, <span style="border-bottom: 3px solid #ED121D;">in the Far East, a life with the Kings of the various countries living together with the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daimyo Sengoku Daimyo] in the Academy had begun</span>.

Nowadays, the wars and strife happening are all according to the recreation of history. 

Each nation formed a <span style="border-bottom: 3px solid #ED121D;">union with the Sengoku Daimyo</span> in their <span style="border-bottom: 3px solid #ED121D;">corresponding position within the Far East, based on the world map</span>.

<!--(Coincidentally, an anonymous person in 4chan had translated this part as well.

You can use that as a reference. However, that one is more liberally translated, so some of the sentences there are quite loose from the original. )-->

To the citizens of Musashi, are you all '''working hard to pay the taxes''' today? This is "Musashi".  

Today, Musashi passed from the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tian_Shan Tian Shan] Corridor to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagarmatha_Zone Sagarmatha] Corridor, and will be arriving at the main port of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikawa_Province Mikawa].

On the way, we will be passing over some villages in the mountainous area of Mikawa, and as '''surprising them would be a disgrace to Musashi''', the ship will be entering information-shielding stealth flight mode for those periods.

Afterwards, around noon the ship will dock at the Mikawa continental port, so there could possibly be some small tremors. '''Please refrain from playing games such as "This year's biggest wave came"''' on the chains connecting the ship's compartments. It is '''quite troublesome''' if you fall and the Gods of War from the Testament Union will be '''seriously annoyed'''.<!-- is this the right meaning?--jonathanasdf--><!--(Alice: Musashi says in this part, 「拾うのが結構面倒なのと聖連側の武神がマジギレしますので。」 I think, "The God of Wars will be royally pissed as they'll have a hard time picking them up later" is more appropriate here, because the way I imagine the 'year's biggest wave came' game, it's like the students will stand on the middle of the rope's length spreading their arms like what those two characters in titanic had done and they're in risk of falling off the ship.)--><!-- Ahhh! Nice, I couldn't come up with any good interpretations of the game. Thought it was something to do with the chains themselves that needed to be picked up. However I don't think "Musashi" will say "royally pissed" :\--jonathanasdf-->

After this is the '''Business Time''' that the merchants are much anticipating, but there is the possibility that Lord Motonobu will come give his "greeting", so '''the situation can change at any time'''. 

Everyone, if you behave yourselves then I will be very happy.

Today we will be introducing the café/bakery that is very popular with the students: '''"Blue Thunder"'''.

It boasts a large variety of products together with reasonable prices, and is a big help to the poor students who always claim to be one step away from starvation.

<!-- I couldn't figure out a good way to put the poems part in, so I cut it out. The original translation was:

A great variety of products, the price is accessible and is a great help to the very poor students that recite poems<ref>This has reference to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waka_%28poetry%29%20 this]. In the '''Tankas''', there are some questions which refers to the 問答歌.</ref> with all their heart on the brink of starving to death. 

--jonathanasdf -->

However, lately there have been '''costumers who clasp the the hand''' of the employed automated doll when she is handing back the change, and this is turning into a rather complicated matter. 

I heard that '''the shopkeeper is a former samurai''', so '''there might be the possibility''' of this ending with her blade, but "Musashi" believes a '''gentle branding''' would be suitable.
