The third day of February on Fire. One night after the birthday party, which turned out to be something amazing, I was sorting through the gifts I received.
　I'm very grateful for the gifts, but I've received so many that it'll probably take me a while to finish sorting them out along with the memorabilia from the Sixth King Festival.

　Incidentally, regarding the flying castle presented to Lilia-san, what Shiro-san gave her was only a castle, and it seems that Kuronoa-san retrieved the fountain that doubles the magic power.
　However, even the castle alone is a tremendous thing, and Lilia-san was wondering what to do with it, but the person who reached out to her was Amalie-san, the first princess of the Sinfonia Kingdom.

　It seems that Amalie-san wanted to turn the flying castle that Lilia-san gave her into a tourist attraction in the royal capital, and after the party was over, she made a proposal to Lilia-san.
　Since it was a good opportunity for Lilia-san to make a proposal, the negotiations went swimmingly. As a result, the flying castle was settled with the Symphonia Kingdom paying a rental fee to rent it from Lilia-san.
　Amalie-san seems to be very enthusiastic about it, so she personally visited Lilia-san's residence this morning to sign the contract, and then immediately started the process of turning it into a tourist attraction.
　As expected of a leading candidate for the next king, he has tremendous determination and energy. Well, it seems that Lilia-san was saved thanks to that, so I'm grateful for that.

　While I was thinking about that, as I was checking and organizing the gifts one by one, there was a sudden knock at the door of my room.

'.........Yes~Hey, that?　Yona?
'Kaito-senpai, Aoi-senpai wants you to come to the training space.
Yeah?　To me?
''Yes, or rather, to both me and Kaito-senpai. She said it was like she had learned some new magic again and wanted to show it to you.
Hmmm... so let's go for it.
Yes!

　Since I don't have anything particularly urgent to do, I immediately return the acknowledgment and start walking with Yona to the training space behind the mansion.
　By the way, this is not the first time I've been invited like this. Aoi-chan has a strong interest in magic and is also eager to learn, so she is learning new magic all the time.
　And when she learns a new spell, she usually shows it to me and Youna.

　Aoi is usually very mature, but when it comes to that part of her, she has a childlike nature. I can understand that she wants to show off her new magic, and it's somewhat amusing to me.








　Ten minutes into the training space........currently, out of the corner of my eye, Yona is shooting a sharp kick at the golem that Aoi-chan has created.
　To be honest, Yona's kicks are so sharp and fast that it's impossible for me to follow them with my eyes, as she is good at body strengthening magic. However, even after receiving such a tremendous kick, Aoi-chan's golem doesn't move slightly.

''........Ah, Aoi-senpai. This golem is too hard.............................It hurts my leg. Even though it looks like the usual golem........
'Hmmm, this is my newfound new magic a high density golem!

　Aoi proudly stretching out her chest, she's cute and somewhat age appropriate. But, I see........a high density golem?
　The golem up to now was destroyed rather easily by Youna, so did she learn it as a countermeasure?　Aoi, you have a pretty competitive nature........

　And the battle between the two?　As soon as Aoi's new magic has been unveiled, I approach the two of them.

''..........the new magic, I was shown the new magic. It's amazing, it's like upper compatibility for normal golems.
'Thank you!　
Me?
"Yes, this golem ... 'Will you try to break it?'
Yeah?

　After smiling happily at my words of praise, Aoi-chan asked me to break my golem for some reason.
　I nodded my head, having no idea why she would say such a thing and, by the way, why she would ask me, the weakest person in the room, to do so.

''Actually, I've also built in an effect that works when you destroy it, but I want to see if it works properly...''
...why me?
'What?　Because Yona couldn't break it... and the strongest among us is Kaito-san.

　Aoi-chan, who tells me as a matter of course, makes me tilt my head more and more.......but then it occurred to me. I see, you're talking about the 'pet included' combat power.
　.........That's not me, it's just that Belle is strong, right?　No, well, according to Aoi and Yona, I'm a demon user, so I can't say that I'm completely wrong, but.......

　But, hmmm. I didn't expect such a development to happen, so I didn't bring Belle here. It can't be helped, it's a request from a cute junior, so bring her here for a quick run.......

'.........Hey, what are you doing idiot.......'

　I was about to go call for Belle to fulfill Aoi's wishes, but right afterwards, Alice appeared in front of me in a tusked shirt with 'Pet #3' written on it.
　

........well, Aoi, is this okay?
''Well, as long as you destroy it, I don't mind if it's Phantom King-sama, as far as I'm concerned, but...''
'I thought Aoi-senpai-senpai's new golem was also a foul grade... but Kaito-senpai was still the most amazing.

　
　As if to affirm my thoughts, Alice handed me a piece of paper with something written on it. Let's see, what is it....

"Alice-chan Sword, a copper coin.
　Alice Punch, a silver coin.
　Alice kicks. One gold coin.
　Great Alice-chan Robo 5-Figure Combination: One White Gold Coin

　I'm really curious about that last one!　What's a robot?　
　

　So that leaves three........why is the Sword the cheapest?　That?　When you're as strong as Alice, does that mean hitting her directly is stronger than using a bad weapon?
　

　After finishing my choice, I let Alice hold a copper coin in her hand. Then, out of nowhere, Alice took out a piece of paper and began wrapping it around her.
　It's the thing that kids use to play chambara.

''........Alice-chan Sword!

　And Aoi-chan's full-length high-density golem...............was split in half. The name is a joke and the material is paper, but its power is outstanding.
　Well, well, Aoi's request has been fulfilled with this. But, hmmm........it doesn't look like the golem that was cut off has changed in any way.

........ah, that?　It's not regenerating.......did I use the wrong technique?

　It looks like what Aoi had built into her golem is a regeneration function, but it doesn't seem to be working well?

I added an optional 'disable regeneration' option to the slash-- Aha!
"...you....

　Apparently it's not because of Aoi's jutsuutsu, but because Alice added an extra option to the attack.

Well, from what I saw, it's a textbook technique, and it probably worked without any problems. However, it's much slower, so whether it will be useful in a real battle is another thing...
''Nah, I see........I knew it......you're great at making golems, too, Phantom King-sama?
'Ummm, well, I can do a whole range of things... like this...'
Huh?

　In front of Aoi, who asks in a devouring manner, Alice lightly points her hand to the ground. Then a small magic circle appears on the ground, and it's a magnificent earth bird shaped golem appears, flapping and flying in the sky.
　Seeing this, Aoi's eyes widen and she is astonished.

''Wow........gee, Phantom King-sama!　Sooo, just a little bit. Can you teach me the art of the golem?
No. I don't have time to waste on all the chaos.

　It's a powerful NO too soon. Is this a thing?　Do you feel like I should be the one to ask?
　Just as I was about to speak to Alice, thinking of asking for Aoi-chan's help, the unexpected words are announced by Alice's mouth.

''I mean, if it's about the golem, it's better to 'ask Kuro-san' than me, right?
"...Yeah?　Black?
''Yes, because Black-san made a golem that 'has an ego and grows' more than 20,000 years ago... well, technically speaking, it's a magic doll, so it's slightly different.
Oh...

　The words Alice told me reminded me of that. Zwei-san, who was a magic doll and made the statement that 'the body Kuro gave me'........

　Dear Mom, Dad - I see, there were quite a few hints when I thought about it. If it was Kuro who made Zwei, then when it comes to the creation of a golem - Kuro has the world's highest level of skill.
