Good morning........master?

　I came to my master's workshop first thing in the morning, but when I opened the door to greet him, there was no answer.
　I felt bad, but I went in and opened the door at the back.

'Master! It's morning you'll be sick if you sleep here!　

　There, sleeping on the floor of the workshop, were the master and his apprentices.

'Oh? Oh, is it morning already Tenma is here already. I finished modifying everything that you took care of and as an added bonus, I put some boots on the floor for you girls there's some in there for you to take with you. ...I'm going to bed now...

　With that much said, the master seems to have become a resident of the dream world again.
　It seems that he worked all night after that. We thanked him and received the armor.

Then let's go to the dungeon right away.

　My schedule was a day off, but I decided to resume making golems, so I set out for the dungeon's secret base.

　I arrived at the secret base, but I knew that I couldn't train Jeanne and Aura if I didn't, so I decided to ask Slarin to capture a suitable demon for me.
　Slarin shook his body, and with a quick shake, he climbed up the wall and entered the air hole.
　Before Slarin could fully dive into the hole.

Slurp! And fix the hole while you're at it! Also, if there's any scrap metal or weapons or anything else on the ground, pick that up too!

　I threw the words at him. I don't know if Slarin heard me, but with a hole of that size, even if it was intruding, it wouldn't be much of a threat since it was only a slime or a small insect or reptile demon, though.

　In the time it takes for Slarin to come back, I give Jeanne and Aura the handcuffs and boots that my master fixed for me to equip and check.

''They fit true to size!
He's a skilled craftsman, isn't he?

　And he was checking the condition of the boots. The boots were mostly made of leather, and they seemed to be lighter and softer than they looked, and as an added bonus, they seemed to be quite good.
　From the looks of the two of them, they seemed to be comfortable, so I decided to give my master something to thank him for before I went to the royal capital.

　Slarin came back when I finished preparing to make the golem, so I built something that looked like a smaller version of Gunjo City's arena at the edge of the secret base and had the demons that Slarin had captured out there....

Stopp, Slarin', stop! That's too many!

　Slarin put out about 10 high orcs, 30 orcs, 20 high goblins, 20 goblins, and 10 kobolds. Each of them were only roughly counted, so maybe the total number was over 100.
　After being told that there were too many, Slarin was suddenly let out and jumped into the crowd of confused demons, leaving five orcs behind, as if widening their mouths, and putting the demons into the dimension bag inside his body.

　........It was quite strange to see the slime, which was originally the lowest level of the demons, swallowing the orcs.

　When Slarin finished swallowing the extra demons, I let Jeanne and Aura deal with the orcs while I let Shiroumaru, Solomon, and Slarin watch over them.
　Is five orcs still too much for Jeanne and the others to bear? I thought, but I figured that since the orcs didn't have any weapons or anything else, I could handle it, and even if they didn't, I told Slarin and the others to come in to help, so I figured it would be fine, so I let them start training.

　In the meantime, I proceeded to make the golem, but it was finished faster than I expected, so I added a magic bag function to the metal plate and stored the iron, the material for the golem's body, in it.
　I ran out of iron on the way, so I went to get the iron ore that was in the dungeon and added the iron extracted and the iron scrap I had asked Slarin for, and I managed to secure enough iron for the golem to summon.

　Since I still had some time to spare, I decided to use mithril to make two simple constructed rings and add a simple function to these as well.

　After we finished making everything, it was almost time for lunch, so we decided to call Jeanne and her friends over for lunch.
　For lunch, we'll have boiled rice, which is becoming a staple for us these days, and vegetable soup with skewers and fried foods that we bought at a food cart.

''Since it's finished for now, let's try it out to see if the golem can be summoned properly, and if it's fine, then let's actually have a mock battle with the golem.

　Then he gave them both a necklace and a ring as well....

"Already an engagement ring........my ring!

　And Aura spluttered, and Jeanne blushed as she caught on, and Shiroumaru and Solomon mistook it for a snack and sat down beside me....

'No, it's a magic item to make it easier for me to sense where we're both at in case of an emergency...'

　When I explained that, Aura purposefully pretended to wipe her eyes.

'Ugh, Ugh, poor Jeanne I can't believe she suspects me of cheating on her before we're even married...'

　But the edge of her mouth, which peeked out slightly, lifted and I could see that she was smiling.
　As expected of an over-acting person, Jeanne didn't panic and left us alone and asked us how to use the necklace and rings, so we ignored Aura and taught her how to do it.
　When Aura saw that we weren't dealing with her, she stopped mimicking crying with a frustrated look on her face and started listening quietly to me.

''So, if you take off the necklace and then channel your magic and remind yourself of it, the golem will automatically be summoned... I'll give it a try.

　Jeanne summoned the golem in the same procedure I taught her.

　The necklace on the floor was placed on the floor, and as the magic power flowed through the procedure as determined, iron came out of the magic bag granted to the base of the magic nucleus and used it as material for the body to become a golem... However, since this golem was a scorpion type, the two of them were quite surprised There it was.

　The two of them had only ever seen a golem that I had summoned, so they seemed to think that this golem was naturally humanoid, and at first this big scorpion-shaped golem was a rejection, but I made them tell me how amazing this scorpion-shaped golem was, and then I actually made them fight against the orcs And.

I mean, it looks like it, but it's really strong...
'Well that's what it looks like, but the orcs look like garbage...'

　He seemed to have partly changed his mind and reviewed his thoughts... To be honest, it's a secret that the person who made them (me) was most surprised at the strength of these golems.
　These golems are about 4.5m in size, half of them have tails with sharp needles, they have three pairs of legs and a pair of large scissors, and their speed (about 30km/h?) is unbelievable for an iron body! He approached them with his scissors and tail like a hammer, smashing them into chunks of meat, and grabbing the orcs' bodies with his scissors and tearing them apart like rags, but it was more like pliers than scissors.

　 Only.
　Even Shiroumaru and Solomon didn't seem to be in the mood to eat the muddy minced orc meat, as expected.
　I had intended to have a mock battle as well, but I decided to call it off because it was going to be a disaster if I had to deal with such a thing. By the way, the mock battle was supposed to be me versus Jeanne, Aura and two scorpion-type golems.

''And for now, I guess it's a success... although it might be overpowered for an escort...''

　They just nodded at my words.
　They were quite taken back, but they were so strong that they didn't say anything about their appearance preferences.

　As he instructed the golems to return to their original necklaces, the two golems stopped moving on the spot and disappeared as if they were sucked into the necklaces.

　They picked up the necklace and put it around their necks, showing some confusion.

''Do you feel any discomfort with the necklace?''

　When I asked them, they were lightly moving their bodies while wearing the necklace and adjusting the length to make sure it was right.

'Not really but it's a bit hard to adjust the length of it.

　And Aura saw that Jeanne was concerned.

'Jeanne has long hair, you know. But you'll get used to it soon enough.

　As he said this, he helped adjust it.
　The chain I used this time was a modified version of the one I bought at the store.
　I cut one chain into pieces around the middle and hardened it with silver on one piece and attached a small hook to the other so that it could be hooked up at the desired length so that it could be adjusted.

　So, aside from Aura, who has shorter hair, Jeanne, who has long hair, was not used to trying to adjust it with her back hand, and her hair was grabbed along with her.
　So I decided to rework the chain to change the length of the chain only for Jeanne's and stop it at the top of her collarbone.

'Thank you!'

　As I expected, being a girl, she seems to be happy to be presented with an accessory, and this is the first time Jeanne has ever thanked me in such a cheerful voice.
　I'm not accustomed to being thanked by a woman other than my own family members to begin with, so I was unexpectedly a little embarrassed to be thanked with Jeanne's smile in a way that was almost a surprise.
　While watching it, Aura was grinning as if she wanted to say something, but I couldn't think of anything else to do but pretend not to notice and turn my back and fool her.

''Hmmm.......for now, it seems there is no inconvenience in the movement of the golem, so after we finish the final check of the magic circle, all the things we had planned to do will be done......is there anything to do?''

　I shook the story to fool them and asked them that while receiving the necklace, but they didn't seem to have any quick ideas either.
　So I decided to take a break for now, and in the meantime, I tried to think about what I needed and what I wanted to prepare for.

''Umm........the only thing I can think of is to secure and distribute food.

'I ... well ... mass-producing food and storing it in a magic bag ... is that about it?'

　Me and Aura got the food-related stuff out of me and Aura, but Jeanne looked up as if she'd just had a hunch.

'I want a changing room and a toilet in the carriage!

　He said loudly.
　Those words seemed to have occurred to Aura as well.

'Speaking of which, it wasn't attached to Master Temma's carriage!　

　I was convinced that it was a good idea. When I thought about it, I didn't have to worry about it either, since there had only been a man (and two animals) so far, but if Jeanne and Aura were going to join us on the trip, it would be the first place I would have to worry about it.

　There is space in the carriage for a barrel to replace the bath, but there is no space for a change of clothes, and the toilet has been outside so far, or when it rains, the barrel is stowed away in an empty space.
　But this was only possible because I was the only man, and if I let a woman do the same thing, I would definitely be in the noose for s*xual harassment in my previous life... even in this world, if the outside world found out, I would definitely be pointed at the back of my mind. .........

'Sure we need it... but the question is how to make it... if we just want to expand the internals, we can do it a bit more without any problems...' ...

　As I was thinking, a scene came to my mind.

'Yes! We could make it look like a unit bath!

A unit bath?

Master Temma, what exactly is a unit bath?

　I quickly said it out loud and they heard me, but I figured there was no need to fool them, so I decided to teach them my idea.

A unit bath is a bath, toilet, and sink in a single room.

　I gave them a brief description of what I had seen in my previous life.

''With this, we won't have to build a separate toilet and bath room, and if we make this private room to fit the size of the carriage's space, then we can put it in a magic bag and carry it around afterwards, and it will be easy to use in the dungeon like it is now!

　It's obviously more convenient to just take it out and use it without having to magically create it, like now.
　The only problem is cleaning up after using the toilet.
　But I have a feeling that this isn't so difficult if you use your magic well.

'But won't that make the toilet smell stuffy?

However, if you set a pot in the toilet bowl and attach a device like a dimension bag to the pot, or carve a magic circle of wind or water on the toilet seat, you should be able to reduce the odor considerably. I think it's worth a try.　

　I decided to make a toilet bowl using earth magic and alchemy, relying on my memory.
　The finished product is a western-style toilet, and since I made it while remembering a famous manufacturer from my previous life, I had to scrape off a letter 't0' on the edge of the tank.

It's a good work for a first time.　

　I muttered those thoughts while actually sitting on it.
　Jeanne and Aura seemed to be interested in the unfamiliar shape of the toilet bowl as well, but they didn't seem to be comfortable sitting on the toilet seat in front of a man, no matter how much, so they both just looked at it.

　Next, I got out the carriage and worked on expanding the back of the interior, and made a shed that fit that size with earth magic and alchemy, but...

'I'm afraid the roof is going to fall off...'

　I felt that it was a good idea, so I looked at assembling it without the roof, but at this pace, I was getting the feeling that I wouldn't be able to get it up in time to leave.
　So I decided to compromise and changed it to an installation instead of a removal.
　The wall and door are made of wood in the expansion part of the inside of the carriage, the floor is made of tiles in the manner of pottery and pasted, and the toilet is fired from the one made earlier so that the jar can be removed and fixed.

　The work was done in two days because the golems were also mobilized, so we were able to finish it in two days.
　As for the bath tubs, I'll keep the barrels I'm currently using, but I'll try to find a replacement for them when I have some free time when I go to King's Landing.

　One last detail and an inspection of the magic circle to make sure it's working properly, and we're done.
　The toilet bowl has a magic circle written on the lid of the toilet seat, and when the lid is raised, it activates and the jar has the same ability as a dimension back.
　Other devices are also installed to create a layer of air with wind magic, so that no odor can leak out, but this is something I'll have to wait until I actually do my business, so I'll hold off on this one.

　The inspection process is simple: lift the lid and pour more water into the pot than it should be, and if it doesn't overflow, it's a success.
　We set up a space of about 5m square in the pot. I decided to pour about 10 liters of water into it for now.
　The result......

It's working. It's not leaking, so that's good.

　I can't find any problems at the moment, so I've stopped tinkering with it, and all that's left to do is dig out the water jar, the dividing curtain, and the drain and it's all done.
　The drain was also embedded in the floor with a jar that functions as a dimension bag.

　After showing Jeanne and Aura the inside of the renovated carriage, we stowed it away in the magic bag and decided to return to the ground.

　We'll be leaving Seigen soon, so we're going to take a walk around the city from now on today and shop around for food...

'Jeanne, Aura, this is already the tenth house I've been to...'

　They say women shop a long time, but please don't let them forget their original purpose and browse through the stores for clothes and accessories.

'Temma, just one more shop!
I'm going to make a decision soon!

　This is the third time, and only one more house. Shilomar and his friends are back in the dimension bag early and are taking a break. They seem to have no interest in anything but food, and Shiroumaru and Solomon go in, happily sucking on an orc bone before returning to the bag.

　After that, the "just one more shop" was repeated about five times, and I gave up and looked in the general store a few doors down from the one Jeanne and the others were in, to pass the time appropriately.
　There wasn't anything in particular that caught my eye, but they had about 20 well-built vases of various sizes, and I bought all of them, much to the delight of the shopkeeper.

　On the way back to Jeanne and the others, I found a familiar ogre walking around. It was Gulliver, of course.
　Prior to the familiar, I had never heard of any other ogre being tamed in this city, so there was no doubt that ogre = Gulliver.
　The space around Gulliver was pockmarked with no people huddled around him, and it was very easy to see and approach.

　When Gulliver noticed me approaching, he gave me a frightened look for a moment and retreated, but he quickly straightened his back as much as possible and assumed a posture of caution.

　I couldn't help but laugh when I saw Gulliver, who was about to salute me, but Gulliver, in his own right, responded to my laughter and began to freak out again.

'Oh? Isn't this Lord Temma? Are you shopping?

　As I was distracted by Gulliver, the Marquis of Samonth came out of the entrance by Gulliver's position, accompanied by his guards.
　Those guards also saw me and stepped forward in alarm, but dropped back when they were stopped by the Marquis of Samonth.

''Yes ... most of all, I'm currently swamped with my companion's shopping and I'm running out of time.

　The Marquis de Samonz smiled bitterly as he replied

It takes a lot of patience to keep up with a woman's shopping... so, as I say, when I was young, my wife used to push me around a lot...

　I whispered so.
　Gulliver saw his master, the Marquis of Samonth, talking amicably with me, and his nerves seemed to have finally eased.
　When the Marquis de Samons saw this, he said

''Gulliver is arguably the strongest force in my guards, yet he's formless in front of Lord Temma...''

　I muttered to myself, and Gulliver heard that and shrugged his big body. From the side, it was quite an amusing sight, but it was a pity that Gulliver was depressed because of me, so

'No, I think Gulliver is pretty good at it. Normal ogres have a rough temper and low intelligence and fight without thinking, but from what I've seen, Gulliver is trying to fight while thinking quite a bit. At this rate, I think Gulliver is still going to be strong.　

　I followed up, and the Marquis de Samons nodded his head.

'I'm very aware of that, sir. ...Between you and me, I suspect you're more intelligent than Gary.

　This was another whisper, but the content was strangely convincing.

'By the way, which way is this Gary........'　

　I asked him, thinking that I'd be a pain in the ass to meet Gary here, and the Marquess of Sammons laughed and said

'Oh, that idiot son of a b*tc* has joined those who came after him and is currently in the dungeon re-beating his guts out.

　He told me. For now, it looks like trouble has been avoided... but it's a little awkward for Gulliver to be afraid of me.
　As for me, I wanted to get along with Gulliver, so I thought about what to do, and the first thing that came to mind was the foodies at home.
　I took out a chunk of oak meat and offered it to Gulliver, but Gulliver did not change his attitude when he saw the meat.

'Lord Temma, what?'

No, our foodies would react in some way if we offered them food, so I was wondering if Gulliver would...

　That's rather rude to say, depending on how you ask, but the Marquis blew out lightly with a pfft.

''Haha, Lord Temma. I don't care how much Gulliver is an ogre, he doesn't bite into raw meat in this traffic.

　I was taken aback by those words. At any rate, I had a clear picture in my mind of how the foodies of the house would undoubtedly jump on the meat and eat the raw meat without regard to publicity.

　After failing to feed Gulliver, I made sure the Marquis had his magic bag and gave him about ten chunks of oak meat for Gulliver.
　At that point, I deliberately made it look like Gulliver, but it's unclear if our Gulliver will miss it at all with this.

''Well then, I think my companion is about to finish his shopping, so I'll leave you to it.

　I said hello to the Marquis and waved to Gulliver as well, but Gulliver tensed up at the movement of my hand, and it was quite frustrating to see the blatantly relieved look on his face as I left.

　When I returned to the shop where Jeanne and the others were, Slarin, who I had left behind as an escort, noticed me and tried to fumble his way into the bag.
　I petted Slarin and then handed him an oak bone as a reward and unfolded the bag, and in response to the scent of the bone, the devourer No. 1 (Shiroumaru) peeked out of the bag and begged me for it. Naturally, No. 2 (Solomon) was also waiting behind No. 1.

'I wish Gulliver was this obvious...'

　I patted Shiroumaru and Solomon on the head and gave them both a bone and added a new one for Slarin.
　After watching the three animals return, I decided to go inside the shop to call Jeanne and Aura.　

'Jeanne, Aura, are you done?'

　When I called out to the two men, they had just finished their shopping and were on their way to pay the bill.

　The two of them were shopping for women's cloaks, jackets, trousers, skirts, boots, and other items of clothing that were sturdy, yet cute in color and embroidery.
　It seemed that after sixteenth shop, they finally found something they were happy with.

　They paid the fee and packed the items into a magic bag.
　One of the male customers in the store was looking at the bag with a strange look on his face, so I stood to block his gaze and warned him with a deadly look.
　The man was trembling, pale and shaking, so he'd probably be fine, but I'd have to give them both a lot of attention later.

　On the way home, I found a liquor store, so I decided to buy five 10-liter barrels of whiskey and six 5-liter bottles of wine as a thank-you gift to my masters.　
　By the way, whiskey is about 40% alcohol, it is commonly drunk in this world.
　The wine purchased is half red and half white, this is mainly going to be for cooking.

　After that, we bought all the rice, raided the vegetables and bought spices and condiments and cooked food, and before we knew it, the total weight of the food was well over 100 kg... most importantly, it's not heavy because we have it in a magic bag.

''We have plenty of meat for Shiroumaru and the others, and probably six months worth of food, so we won't have to buy more for a while now.

''That's right. You'll just have trouble handling it any longer, so from now on, it's probably just as well to buy more after you've consumed some.

　Aura agreed with me. I should actually have a surplus of what I bought before, but I'm not sure what I have left over. I'll have to sort through the contents of my bag once.

　That night, we split the food from my magic bag to the magic bag I'm leaving with the two of them, and then we'll finish dinner with the cooked items we think we bought before.



　A few days later, the day to leave Seigen finally arrived.
　I had called out to everyone I knew within the previous day, and today's send-off was attended by Amy's family and the members of the Tamer's Guild (provisional) at the Sword of Dawn.
　He went to greet his master yesterday, and the greeting was done when he gave him a drink to thank him.
　The Marquis has a discussion with the guild leaders today from this morning, so I have already said hello to him yesterday as well.

''Then Amy, I asked you to ventilate the room.

Yes, sir! We'll take care of it!

　As they exchanged greetings, it was unexpectedly announced that the members of the Tamers Guild (provisional), excluding Amy, would also be participating in the martial arts tournament.

''We'll take this opportunity to spread the name of the Tamer's Guild and gather members to make it a great organization!

　Everyone was enthusiastic about it. When Menace was asked if it was possible to bring their families to the tournament, it seemed that it was, but since a family member was counted as one of the team members and rules were added to the tournament from time to time, or since there were not many strong families on the team, the number of participants was low.

　The members of the Sword of Dawn and Tamers Guild (provisional) have acquaintances and so on in the royal capital, so they would not be able to go to the royal capital until a week or two before the tournament.

''Then we'll be there first! Amy's got to go, too!

　With that, he gave Tanikaze a signal.

Doctor, Jeanne and Aura, come in! I can't wait for you to come back~

　And with Amy's energetic voice at our backs, we were leaving for the royal capital.
