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.

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.

About this World

Name: Makiko Oriotorai

In the distant future, there was a need to restart the world’s history.

But in the middle ages, Far East Japan caused a crisis in the world, which resulted in its separation and control by the Academies of all the nations in the world.

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, in the Far East, a life with the Kings of the various countries living together with the Sengoku Daimyo in the Academy had begun.

Name: Black algae creatures

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

Each nation formed a union with the Sengoku Daimyo in their corresponding position within the Far East, based on the world map.

The countries fight for dominance inside this land, while recreating the Japanese Sengoku Period and the Thirty Years’ War.

Nowadays, the citizens of the Far East are allowed to live only at the foreign settlements of every nation or in the Airship-city Musashi.

Grateful news to the citizens.=

• Today’s plans (Communication)

To every citizen who lives in Musashi, are you working hard to pay the taxes? It’s “Musashi”.

Today Musashi passed from the Tian Shan Corridor to the Sagarmatha Corridor and is now going to the main port of Mikawa.

The ship is going to enter the stealth flight mode with experience and information cutoff to not surprise the people from a village below and then getting a bad reputation for Musashi, while passing on the mountain region of Mikawa.

After finishing this, the ship is going to dock at the main port of Mikawa, around noon, and there is a risk of some up-down happening.

Please stop playing with the “This year first wave came” at the ropes connecting each ship.

It’s too troublesome to pick up later and the Gods of War from the Testament Union are going to get very angry.

After this, it’s the so waited Business Time for the merchants, but there is a possibility that Lord Motonobu can make his “greeting”, so the situation can change at any time.

I’ll be very happy if everyone stays obedient.

––––That is all.

• Welcome to the Famous Shops (Musashi’s Guidance)

Today’s introduction is about the popular café/bakery between the students: “Blue Thunder”.

A great variety of products, the price is accessible and is a great help to the very poor students that recite poems with all their heart on the brink of starving to death.

Recently, there are costumers who clasp the automated doll’s hand when she is going to return the change and this is turning into a very complicated matter.

The shopkeeper is a former samurai, so she can take into account the possibility of ending this with her blade, but in Musashi's opinion the preferable would be a milder branding.

––––That is all.
