[The Girl Who Woke Up]

Hmm....

　I open my eyes thinly, noticing the warmth and softness of the bed as it wraps around my body.

　I can only see a bong, but I feel a white light.

　What was going on? My still-sleepy mind can't quite sort it out.

　Gradually my eyes start to see, and I realize that there's a white slab of something in front of me.

''What, this...?''

　I manage to support my weak body with my hands and get myself up.

　There are pure white walls and floors. They may not be plaster, but I've never seen those walls and floors before.

　Looking down, I realized that I had been sleeping in a very small bed. This one is also made of something strange. It is not made of stone, wood or iron.

　It's something similar to the feel of a slippery shell.

　No matter what I looked at, it was all mysterious.

　Then I put my hand on my slightly aching head and moaned.

　That's right. Am I going to be hunted down by those guys and die on a cliff...?

　........No, I couldn't die. That knight's words shook me, and my scarce, petty courage broke.

　I was scared, scared, scared, scared, and I didn't want to die.

　And then something happened, and I...?

'Yeah, that........that golem........?

　The moment I said that, Nuh-uh, that golem appeared.

''Hee!''

　He tries to get back on the bed, but something catches him and he can't get down.

'You're not going to kill me...'

　Shamefully, those words were uttered from my mouth in a trembling voice.

　I hated myself for being so weak, and I wanted to show my willpower and die for the last time.

　In the midst of being appalled at my own weakness, the golem continued to look at me without moving a single finger.

''........What, you won't do anything?''

　For some reason, I spoke to the golem. There was no way I was going to answer him.

　But the golem that was bent forward raised its body and walked away with its back to me.

　As if it could understand what I was saying.

　A white room. There is only one place in that room that looks like a door. By the side of that door, the golem is just standing there.

''........You mean to come here?''

　I ask that, but the golem doesn't answer. It is natural that the golem doesn't speak because it is a golem. But even so, that golem is strange.

　A magic doll or a magic weapon. The golem is collectively called them all. The golem needs magic power that is not enough for one person, and it can only listen to simple commands.

　However, golems made of stone or iron are strong. A golem ordered to hit a moving object would be a considerable threat on the battlefield.

　However, two ordinary sorcerers can only control one golem with two people. Then, depending on the time and circumstances, it would be stronger for two mages to go out on the battlefield as it is.

　In other words, a sorcerer who controls a golem and uses it as his own bodyguard can be known to be a sorcerer with formidable power by itself. If you have a golem with you, it means that you possess the magical power of three or more ordinary magicians.

　As far as this golem is concerned, the orders would not be simple.

　Tensed by the golem that continued to stand without moving, I started walking towards the door.

　There's no point in staying here like this. I have to find out where I am first.

　Thinking that, I opened the door.

''...Huh?''

　The moment I opened the door, what jumped into my eyes was a large army of golems that I didn't even know how many were there.

　Everything was the same as these unusually advanced golems.

''Wha, what, what is this...? This, this, this....

　I sat there and slumped down.

　I don't know how many years it will take to build one of these golems. However, I am certain that there is someone out there who is able to create this extraordinary number of golems.

''The court wizards of the kingdom could make ten of them even if we all worked together... No, even the Blau Empire might not be able to make that many...''

　What kind of sorcerers dwell there? Looking at all these golems, I wouldn't be surprised if they said there were a thousand people in the court magician class.

　I pressed my hands against my weak knees and stood up.

　Let's meet the owners of these golems.

　I look up at the golems standing in line next to me, but I didn't feel as scared as I did before anymore.






[Kitchen]

　After all, everyone loves Italian food. There are some foreigners who say they can't stand the smell of miso and soy sauce.

　With that in mind, I was in the kitchen boiling the pasta.

　I had already stir-fried the garlic and chili in olive oil, so all I had to do was wait for the pasta noodles to boil.

　Incidentally, they have a futuristic noodle making machine that automatically makes noodles by simply putting each ingredient in a box.

　Unfortunately, I had to harvest the ingredients myself, but I found a book in the medical room called "Hatake no Zenjiryoku (The Fullest Effort of the Fields)" which gave me a lot of information.

　All I had to do was sprinkle some coarsely ground black pepper and salt, and I was done.

　Just then, I heard a high-pitched electronic sound.

　For a moment, I didn't know what it was, but it sounded different from the alarm of the dragon attack, so I figured it was the girl.

'I wonder if he's awake. In the meantime, hurry up and give him some noodles...

　I hurriedly took the noodles into a pot with lots of olive oil and mixed them together with salt and black pepper.

　This is what a man's meal should be like.

Yes! Let's go get her!

　I walked toward the elevator with a nervous heart, not worthy of my age. I hurriedly walked to the elevator.

'That girl was sixteen, wasn't she? You can't think that way. I'm already in my thirties.

　Now that you've reached the milestone of turning 30, you have to be a gentleman. Aim to be a gentleman. Aim for A1.

　Suppressing my wanderlust, I went out into the corridor that led straight to the elevator.

　As I walked along, just before I reached the elevator, the elevator opened on its own.

　It was A1 and that girl who were riding inside.
