Chapter 100

I returned from the dungeon with the magic stones and was pushing them into the golems along with Hestia.

After several experiments, such as infusing them into the limbs and stuffing them into the body's interior,

"Alright, the small golems are complete."

"Hmm."

Somehow, I managed to create about five slim and small golems. Normally, a golem would be around three meters tall, but these small golems are only about one meter. Their build is also much slimmer.

I postponed working on their appearance, so they look a bit awkward, but they are complete for now.

"Let's adjust the appearance when we have time. Yeah, they're not bad, right? Golem, carry the garden stones for me."

The golems followed my orders and managed to carry several garden stones that they initially struggled to lift.

"Hmm, about 30% of the structure has turned into magic stones, huh."

"Yeah, this seems to be the best ratio."

The wooden golems have a warmth to them, and their movements are soft, but as the ratio of magic stones increases, their movements become more rigid.

"…If you put in too many, the golems become too stiff, and their movements can hurt a human just by touching them. They also start to break down because they can't move smoothly. It was dangerous."

So, for now, the optimal ratio is 30%.

This way, the flexibility of the wood and the power of the magic stones combine well.

The golems can even jog while carrying the garden stones.

"―Stop, golem."

As the golem was jogging,

"Kukaa."

Lamuros was lying on the ground, drooling and completely asleep.

"…Why is Lamuros sleeping here?"

I thought I had moved him to Hestia's hut last night.

"His sleeping position is bad. I think he rolled over here while taking a nap."

Ah, so he rolled out of the hut because of his sleeping position. Well, sleeping here is quite a bother.

"Golem, put the garden stones down and carry that sleeping one to the garden bench."

The small golem followed my orders and lifted Lamuros.

Instantly, the golem's feet sank into the ground.

"Hey, Hestia. …He seems heavier than a rock, what's going on?"

It doesn't seem to be the same weight as it looks.

"It's just immature. …But, the fact that the golem can lift a dragon king's body like this, it seems to have some abnormal performance."

"Is that so? But, if it can lift such heavy objects, it should be qualified in terms of power."

Even if they are small, they should be able to handle heavy work easily.

As I was thinking this,

"…Mmm, it's shaking."

"Hey, are you awake, Lamuros?"

The moment the small golem carried him to the bench, Lamuros woke up and turned his head towards me.

"It's warm here. Thank you, Daichi."

"Well, that's fine, but how long do you plan to sleep here?"

I heard that his lack of magic power has largely been cured, so he doesn't need to stay in the air, right?

"Umm, Hestia's room is so comfortable. Also, until my scales fully recover, I can't withstand the environment in the sky."

I don't mind him relaxing, but since it's a place I lent to Hestia, I should ask her opinion.

"What do you think, Hestia?"

"For now, …I think it's time to kick him out. If we push him into Anne's house, he'll probably work to some extent."

"That's so mean."

"It's not mean. I'm giving him a grace period. Besides, when we talk, sit up."

The two dragon kings were facing each other and having a conversation. I'll leave it to them to decide later.

As I was thinking this, I looked at the golem that had returned to me.

Even after carrying Lamuros, who was heavier than a rock, there wasn't a single crack.

…After using them, I realized that magic stones are really useful.

Just by incorporating them, the power increases.

If I made an arm or something out of magic stones, it would have considerable power.

"If I could attach them to something like Wood Armor, I could easily break through hard rock formations…"

If that happens, garden making and dungeon exploration would become much easier.

It would be great if I could do it alone, even if I need to synchronize.

…But, to make that arm, I don't have enough magic stones.

After making about five small golems, I ran out of magic stones.

Whether I make new ones or mass-produce small golems, I still need a lot more. So,

"Alright, we're out of materials, so let's go again after lunch."

And I decided to go on my second dungeon exploration after having a full meal.
