Chapter 3: Galatea

“What’s another world, you never told me about that before?” (Grace)

“Until now, you were unaware of the existence of other worlds. You couldn’t investigate something you don’t know exists, could you? This time, by touching the robot in front of you, you have learned about the technology of another world, and a part of the knowledge has been released.”

“So are you saying that if I continue to gain knowledge of other worlds, I’ll be able to build something like her?”

“It’s impossible to do so now, both in terms of technology and knowledge, but eventually it will be possible.”

I was strangely convinced by the words of “World Library”. This skill covers not only this world, but also the knowledge of different worlds… So my skill is not just “library”, but “world library”… then there’s only one thing for me to do.

I decided to round up the conversation with “World Library” and have a conversation with Galatea. That’s because knowing is what enhances my skills. Just as a person with sword skills strengthens their skills by wielding a sword, or a person with blacksmithing skills strengthens their skills by making weapons, I am strengthened by gaining knowledge in my field. So, since I can talk, why not? Dialogue would be the best.

“Robot?… are you sure you’re not a golem?”

“Wait a minute Bowman… I just realized, you don’t think this is that violent golem do you?”

“Miss Galatea, you’re a robot. My name is Grace, I’m the new Lord of this place. Is it correct to say that your Lord is Souzi?”

“Grace, be careful, it’s dangerous!”

I stopped Vigna with my hand, who was rushing to pull me away from Galatea, and approached her. According to the knowledge I’ve just acquired, she’s supposed to be a being that listens to her master’s commands. So what would happen if her master weren’t around? For now, there should be no danger.

“Affirmative. Souzi was my master and my father. But the fact that… I fell asleep and there is a new Lord… indicates that my father is no more…”

She looked at the tattered building and either sensed or remembered something, but she had a pained expression on her face and lowered her eyes. That gesture seems to be really sad…, maybe she has feelings unlike a golem.

No, I believe she does. Her eyes look really sad.

“Oh, yes. Sadly, he died decades ago. So I’m to rule here in his place.”

“I see. …… And you activated me from sleep. Then I will follow you. I am commanded by my father to protect this land.”

With that, she bowed beautifully again. But for some reason, it looked to me like she was trying to hold back her grief. Souzi was human, so she’s probably not his actual daughter, but I guess there was a bond between them.

Notwithstanding, I thought it would be better to care for her.

“I know it’s hard to wake up and see things have changed. It’s okay to rest separately.”

“No, I’m fine. In fact, I find it a joy to work.” She replied with a smile on her face.

I guess it’s better to keep moving so that she doesn’t have to remember the painful things.

However, this smooth interaction and the expression of emotions make her seem really different from the golems I know. Rather, she’s more like a human. In fact, she’s almost human. Isn’t the technology of the other world amazing? If I could just get my hands on this power, wouldn’t I be able to explore this place?

“Then you’re the first lord. Pleasure meeting you.”

“Me?… I’m not a Lord at all. I’m a robot. Just treat me like a tool and I’ll be fine.”

“What are you talking about? Lord Souzi must have treated Ms. Galatea like a daughter, so I’ll do the same. You’re the daughter of a former lord. I’ll treat you with respect. Besides, I still don’t understand what a robot is, but what’s the difference between us and a being that can grieve the death of her own father?”

At least she’s more human than my shitty father who sends me to a place where my life is in danger just because I’m incompetent, and my shitty brothers who laughed at me for it…

She was puzzled by my words, but then she laughed “fufufu.”

“Did I say something strange…?”

“No,… I was feeling nostalgic because you said the same thing as my father. I will recognize Grace-sama as my master. Thank you for your support. From now on, you may call me Galatea.”

She laughed happily as she said this. The smile on her face, which was filled with emotion, was somehow attractive, and it made my heart skip a beat.

“Well, I would like to ask you some questions…”

“Grace! A demon!”

As I was about to talk to Galatea, Vigna’s sharp voice rang out. Seriously? It was a great chance to gain some knowledge…

“That’s an… old fire dragon, Elder flame Dragon…”

When I peeked out of the open door, I saw an ancient fire dragon crawling towards me with a huge body of several meters, like a snake, and I let out a despairing cry.
