Let’s gather materials on the island!

 Now, let’s get started on the materials immediately.
Kani came with us, as she had gotten her meal and was feeling completely fine.
 Simply put, in order to make Mancrete, you need cement, water, an aggregate, and magic stones.
Water isn’t an issue, and it’s fine to use sea or mountain sand as aggregate.
And I’ve already gotten one of the materials needed to make cement.
 That would be Vinyl Tree sap.
After that, I just need lime, gypsum, quartz and iron oxide, but for Mancrete you’d also better have magic solution.
 The basic magic solution would be a mix of magic stones and distilled water, but if you’d like to increase the quality, you’ll need slime.
Slime has a low value amongst adventurers, but it is able to maintain a liquid-like state due to having a good magic power circulation efficiency when converting mana.
 Because of their weak ability to use their internal magic power externally, they’re judged to be trivial when it comes to battling them.
Well, depending on the species, it could be different.
 Now, we first came to the sea.
Just to be safe, we came here in the magic excavator.
 Vicious monsters like what we had last night might come out.
In addition, this type makes it easy to move on sand.
 Now, what we want here is lime.
“So why the sea?”, you might be thinking, but lime can be obtained from shells.
 When it comes to shells, you’d say “The sea! Sandy beaches!” is what comes to mind.
 But —
 
 ”It’s not as good as I thought…”
 ”Unii…”
 ”Mogu~ mogu~”
 ”Kooo~…”

 The moles and Uni, as well as Kani, were helping me, yet, we couldn’t find any in particular.
Though I said shells, it wouldn’t be fine to just take whatever.
If you care for the quality, then you need something that matches certain criteria.
However, we can’t find anything good even if we dig up the beach.
 In that case, it’s most likely in the sea.
With that in mind, I approached the sea and changed the transforming mechanism to construction submarine mode.
 This streamlined vehicle can literally dive and move underwater.
It’s useful when you want to work underwater.
 
 ”Everyone can explore the seabed with this!”
 ”Unii~♪”
 ”Koo~♪”
 ”””””Mogugu~♪”””””
 
 All the fluffy guys look happy to dive in the sea.
Of course, you’ll be able to sea what’s going on underwater on the monitor.
 Now, let’s see how the radar reacts, oops, there’s something big over here.
 
 ”Shall we go have a look?”
 ”Unyu!”
 ”Mogu-!”
 ”Koo~ koo~!”

 Uni is cutely clenching his fists, and the moles are taking a cheering pose.
Kani was making her tail sway.
I stroked everyone fluffy heads, went ahead in the submarine, and then the aforementioned monster, carrying a huge helical shell on it back, was there.
 
 ”Mogu-!”
 ”Kyu~!”
 
 Hm, hm.
According to Marbo, that is apparently a monster called a Lime Ammonite.
But I wasn’t expecting to come across a monster like this.
 I ha a lightbulb moment once I saw it.
“That guy’s a lump of lime!”.
This is certainly lucky.
Right now, I want to thank this monster so badly.
 If I defeat it, I’ll surely be a lot closer to making Mancrete.
 The Lime Ammonite is a monster whose head is made up of tentacles.
It seems its main way of attacking is to stretch out its tentacles, wielding them like whips, then constricting them.
 Then sure enough, the Lime Ammonite’s tentacles hit the submarine.
 
 ”Unii…”
 ”It’s fine.
This construction submarine isn’t so soft that it can’t take a hit of this degree.”
 
 The Lime Ammonite’s hit doesn’t even sway the submarine in the slightest.
 Finally, they squelchingly wrapped around and constricted, but it’s useless.
 An arm extends once I operate the panel.
It’s an arm that can also work underwater.
Then, with a disk-shaped magic cutter attached to the end, I cut off the tentacles.

 And this is where the real thing starts.
By operating the panel, the tip of the submarine changes to a drill.
This function was installed for underwater excavation, but I never thought the day would come where it would be useful in a battle.
 
 ”Here I go! Drill Attack!”
 
 I accelerated and rammed into the Lime Ammonite.
The drill scrapes off the shell with a scratching sound.
 However, in order to make the most of the material, it would be best to minimise the damage.
 I adjusted it according to those thoughts, but it seems it was a little weak.
Blown back, the Lime Ammonite somehow managed to withstand it and began spinning, then with that propulsive force, it thrust forward in one go.
 That’s an unusual way to attack.
Should we call it Spinning Attack? It seems powerful, but it’s not an attack that can be sustained for long.
 Although, in the first place…
 
 — DooOoof! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
 
 In order to avoid the drill, the Lime Ammonite hits the hull, and the sound of further spinning is heard, but the submarine doesn’t get damaged at all.
Yes, this submarine is capable of withstanding depths of more than 10,000 meters.
It’s unaffected by an attack like this.
 
 ”Sorry.
Rather, I’m glad you came closer on your own.”
 
 Manipulating the panel, I changed the arm to be able to grab it and held the Lime Ammonite firmly in place.

 Then we surfaced like that.
From there, I accelerated and threw it against the seafloor!
 
 ”This is the Diving Driver!”
 
 — DooooOoooOoof!
 
 The impact the opponent took was so great that the sea shook.
Alright, with this, it stopped moving.
I successfully took it down spectacularly.
 
 ”Now we’ve got some high quality lime.”
 ”Unyu-~”
 ”””””Mogugu~!”””””
 ”Koo~♪”
 
 Uni and the moles jumped up and down in joy, going “pyon pyon”.
Kani also rubbed her body against my cheek.
It feels really nice.
 Now, I temporarily stored the Lime Ammonite in the dimensional storage, and went back to the prefab’s location and worked hard dismantling it with everyone.
Luckily, we also got a high quality magic stone from the Lime Ammonite.
 Now, let’s keep collecting materials at this rate!
