The day after Leena and the saints arrived

　Right now, I'm in my room with Lena.
　I'm going to build that golem I promised Lena yesterday.

Okay, let's do it.

I'm looking forward to it.

All right, we'll think about it before we build it. Just give me a second.

Yes, I understand.

　First, put on Anna (goggles) .
　The reason I'm putting Anna on is because I don't know what to do to build a golem: ....

　Until now I've been building it in a haphazard way, but this time I'll rely on Anna who knows a lot about things.

(Anna~ How can I build a golem?)

(Simply imagine the golem you want to build with magic stones and materials, and you can do it.

(What? That's it? (Then why couldn't you do it before?)

(That's because normal golems require multiple programs to work.)

(Oh, I see. . that the golem is more difficult than you think.
　The point is, you can't skip the program at this level.

(That's what I mean.)

Okay. Thank you, Anna.
　Then I took off my goggles.

"Thanks for waiting for me, Lena. Now that I've figured out how to make it, I'm gonna do it.

Yes, I'm looking forward to it.

Well, let's go get some supplies first.

'Okay. ..... By the way, where are you going?

At my grandma's.

　Then I went to my grandma's and the saint was there with me.
Hey, what's going on with you guys?

Do you have any metal armor at home that you don't want?

What would you use it for if it was in the armory?

I'll use it to make creative magic.

Oh, may I have a look?
　Then the saint asked her, too.

Okay.

What are you trying to build this time, by the way?

I'm thinking of building a golem this time.

That's another great thing you're trying to build: .....

It's my first one, so I don't know what I'm going to do with it.

Let's just go to the armory!
　I had gotten tired of waiting and Leena had rushed me.

'Okay, okay, okay, okay.'
　And with that, we all head to the armory.

Hmmm, we're getting along fine after all these years.

Yeah. You don't have to worry about it.
　The two grandmothers smiled as they watched their backs.

　Then I went to the armory.
'This lumpy armour looks good.
　I pointed at the thicker armor that looked strong.

"I want this thinner armor. Let's take this one.
　Leena pointed to a piece of armor with less real-world protection.

''Oh~ Isn't this one cooler?''

No, it's lighter, so I think I can build a fast-moving golem.

　Hmmm, I'm sure you're right: ....
　I like this one better!

You can use them both.
　As I was trying to decide which way to go, my grandma made a shocking statement.

""What?"

No one uses armor and it's just a distraction, so I'm happy to have you use it.

Really? Well, I'm gonna need it.

　Then, I carried out the two armors.
　I've decided to take the golem building outside.

　The magic stones used are yearly magic stones (magic stones that have been pouring magic power for one year)
　And I'll put out Mithril, too.

　I thought I'd use mithril because I thought I'd be plating mithril.

Then we'll start!

　First, I'll use creative magic on the lumpy one.
　Then the magic stone and mithril blended into the armor, and it was completed, glowing as usual .

　With that momentum, I used my creation magic on the thin armor as well.
　And it was completed in the same way as before.

'It's done!'

It's amazing how many times I've seen it.

This is creation magic: ....

Does it really work?

I'm not sure.


　I'm going to evaluate it and see if I've really done it.

＜Golem soldier one.
　I can carry out orders to the letter.
　I can talk to you.

　Strength: 3000
　Magic power: 0
　Power: 4000
　Speed: 1000

　skill
　Kenjutsu Lv.4
　Self-Restoration

＜Golem soldier number two.
　I can carry out orders to the letter.
　I can talk to you.

　Strength: 3000
　Magic power: 0
　Power: 1000
　Speed: 4000

　skill
　Kenjutsu Lv.4
　Self-Restoration

　Oh, that was pretty awesome!
　They're both high status: .... Because no security guard is this strong, right?

"Golem soldier one and two. I need you to guard this house from now on.

"'Yes, sir. Master.

If you see anyone suspicious, don't kill them, just catch them. Also, I want patrols around the perimeter of the compound.

"'Yes, sir. Master.

Let me know if you have any questions.

　And then the lumpy one.
'How do I contact you if I catch a suspicious person?

Then wait a minute.
　I took out the mithril and the magic stone and built a creation spell to attach the bangles to two of them, one at a time.

Now you can telepathize to me.

"'Yes, sir. Master.

Yeah, I didn't give you the sword yet.
　and forge a sword in mithril.
　A big sword for #1.
　I decided to go with a lighter sword for No. 2.

Work with it.

"'Yes, sir. Master.
　And he started to move.

That's amazing. You've managed to create a golem without using a single magic circle.
　Grandma said that with surprise.

　A magic circle? We have a magic circle: ....
'Do they usually use a magic circle?'

Yes, you have to draw and move a bunch of complicated magic circles.

Heh.

And it doesn't have a nuke.

'Really? How do you know that?

''Normally, golems can tell the weaknesses of a golem because the magic power is concentrated in the core magic stone. ..... That golem has magic power flowing evenly throughout.
　Huh? Isn't that awful strong?
　And because these two bodies are self-repairing: ......

'Yeah, that's great.'

Really, it's been a hell of a security job.

The golem is great, but... I also can't believe they can make swords and telepathic items at that speed...
　The saint said she couldn't believe it.

I've never seen a golem that can talk.
　And then Lena followed up.

"Is it really that great?
　I tried my best to play along.



＜In those days.

　Somewhere in the Imperial City, in a dimly lit room, there were two suspicious men.
'It seems the saint has arrived at the mage's house.

Well, don't mess with it yet.

I know. We're having a party, and we're killing them all together because it makes things easier, you know?

'Yeah, I've already taken steps to make sure we can infiltrate the castle properly: ..... Will you succeed?

What are you worried about?

'No matter how many brave men are dead, you still have a mage, a saint, and Damien Forster.

That's all right. The mage and the saint are an old man. And we'll take care of Damien.


　The man's voice was full of confidence.

'What measures do you have in place?'

I need a big feeder first. Something the dogs will jump on.

So, you want to kill the target while you focus on the task at hand?

Yeah, that should do it.

'Maybe so, but make sure you're ready to stay on top of things for about a week from now to avoid any problems.

I know. I know. You better get ready to go.

Yeah, you're just gonna have to keep an eye on that nobleman to make sure he doesn't betray you.

I'll have my people watching you, then.

I see. I also want you to infiltrate the mage's house and keep an eye on him.

Okay. It's important to me, and I'll send my trusty guy over there.

Yeah, and don't let them get wind of our plans.

Don't worry about it, you know how we work.

That's right too: ..... Then we'll each make sure we're well prepared until planning day.

　They left the room quietly: ......
