Jin is examining the Golem he has defeated. The men in the village are now relaxed after the threat of the Golem, and are resting in their slumped bodies. Licia, on the other hand, is standing by Jin's side, examining the golem with him.
"I can't help but think that someone sent it.
Licia makes a guess.
"What for?"
"Come on ......, it's ......."
Originally, golems are autonomous enough to perform simple commands. That's why it's difficult to find out who sent it, since it doesn't need the magician to be near it.
Well, if we can't find out who did it...
What do we do?
If there's something we can use, we'll use it.
Jin now examines the structure of the golem.
"It's really a crude construction..."
He dismisses it with a single blow. Hearing this, Licia says
"What? A golem is an advanced magic doll in its own right, you know?
"Even so, its body is just stone, and its armor is just iron. The nucleus is a small magecrystal, and it doesn't even have an ether converter, so it uses a mana tank. I can only think of it as a disposable golem."
"What?
Licia, too, had attended a decent school after becoming a semi-noble and thought she had a fairly advanced knowledge of this world, but everything Jin said was far above and beyond that.
"I think if I play around with it a little, I'll be able to use it to a certain extent. For now, it's Niko-ichi.
Muttering this, Jin lined up the two golems ...... but gave up because they were too heavy, and went back and forth to gather the necessary parts. By this time, the men had begun to watch with amusement as Jin did his thing.
"This one is a little bigger than the other one, so we'll use this one as the core and this one as the mana driver," he said.
"What a complicated thing to do. Hey Jin, how much longer is this going to take? I'd like to leave soon.
Rock called out to Jin, who seemed to be enjoying himself indefinitely if left alone.
"Oh, we're almost there, sir.
Jin said, not stopping his hand.
"And so," he said, holding his arms together. "
The golem returns to its original form.
"And then . Wake up, Golem.
The Golem woke up in response to his voice.
"Whoa, whoa!
Rock and the others backed away in surprise. Licia also involuntarily clutched her bent sword. Jin laughed when he saw that,
"Don't worry. He only listens to me now."
The golem basically obeys the master of the magic in its core.
"But, Jin ......."
Locke and the others looked worried even though he said that,
"Don't worry. Here."
Jin pats the golem on the back, saying, "Are you sure you're okay?
"Are you sure you're okay ......?"
"You're such a worrier. Golem, named <>.
The naming was full of a lack of naming sense. But Jin himself didn't seem to mind at all,
"<>, tow this cart."
The golem made a gesture of affirmation, then started to walk away with the cart in tow.
"Let's go."
Jin said and started to lead the way. The men who had been watching in amazement followed in a hurry. Licia also mounted her horse and hurried after Jin.
Two hours later, they arrived at the village of Toka. They managed to reach the village just in time for nightfall.
"Oh, wow!
What is that?"
And of course, the villagers were astonished to see Gon, the golem. It was even more eerie now that it was getting dark.
"Nooo, he's going to attack our village!"
A soldier stationed in Toka Village came forward with a sword. Licia stopped him.
"Wait! This golem is our friend.
Even though he was an apprentice knight, he was better than the average soldier. The soldier stops, startled,
"Oh, is that so? ......Yes, I understand."
He listens obediently. Gon is not a violent man, and soon the villagers get used to his appearance.
"Please bring the wheat here."
Wheat is brought into the warehouse in Toka Village. Gon is the one doing the work.
"Wow, that's amazing."
Golem, who is more than three times as powerful as a man, has single-handedly (?) carried the wheat that Jin and the others brought in to the warehouse. He carries the wheat that Jin and the others brought into the warehouse by himself (?).
"Good work, Gon. Rest and recover your magic. If anyone tries to take the wheat, get rid of them.
Gon stood upright in front of the warehouse and stopped moving as Jin gave the order.
"Now we don't need any guards."
Jin said with a smile, and the people of Toka Village looked at him with indescribable expressions,
"Who the hell is that guy?"
"Was there ever a man like that in the village of Kaina?"
and "Was there ever a man like that in the village of Kaina? Meanwhile, the men from the village of Kaina said,
"Jin, you're a real piece of work!" "That golem!
"That golem, does he listen to anything you say?
"He's going to be very useful in the village!"
The soldiers then turned to Licia and said,
"Uh, Mister Tax Collector, what the hell is that golem ......"
"Who is that young man?
The three responses were very different.
That day, Licia was staying at the kingdom soldiers' quarters and Jin and the others at an inn in the village of Toka.
After dinner, Jin was walking around Toka village when he saw Licia and called out to her.
"Licia-san!"
"Ah, Jin-san."
"Are you still dressed like that?"
Licia was wearing a breastplate and had a sword in her hand.
Yes, I'm still on duty.
"Well, that's hard work, isn't it? So, what are you doing?
Jin asked, looking at the sword in his hand,
"My sword was bent, so I went to a blacksmith, but he said he couldn't fix it.
"Which one? Can I see it?"
Licia handed the bent sword to Jin. Jin looked at the sword,
"Analyze. ...... ah, this one is a piece of wood. It's not steel, it's iron.
"What? But the arms dealer where I bought it said it was a good sword.
"You've been deceived, haven't you? They thought that since she was a woman, she wouldn't know the difference between good and bad, or else they thought the sword was just for decoration.
"Oh no. ......"
Licia nodded in shock. Jin saw this and kept his sword in his hand,
"It can't be helped. Forming. Carburizing. Heat treating. Hardening."
The bent sword is straightened, carburized into steel, and hardened.
"Yes, is that right?"
"Yes, yes, yes?"
Licia seemed to be at a loss to understand what Jin had done.
"That's why I fixed the sword. I don't think it will break so easily this time, so please take good care of it.
"Oh, thank you very much. ....... I didn't know magecraftsmen could do such things. ......"
Licia happily accepted the sword,
"Jin-san, how can I thank you?"
But Jin said,
"I don't need any thanks."
"That's not possible. There must be a price for my work. I know, why don't you become the kingdom's exclusive magecraftsman? I will recommend you.
But Jin said,
"No, I don't think so."
"Why not?"
Licia gave him a doubtful look.
"I don't like the idea of working for someone else. I want to live freely and return home.
In this case, the home is the institute.
"I see... ...... but it's a waste..."
"That's all right. So, could you please not report about me for a while?
"What? What do you mean?
You're probably going to report that you were attacked by that golem, aren't you?
Yes, that's my job.
I want you to keep quiet about me then. I want you to keep quiet about me then, even if it means that Licia managed to fight them off.
But then, I'll have to go to .......
But Jin bowed his head,
"Please. I still want to live quietly in the village of Kaina.
Seeing Jin like this, Licia gave up,
"I understand. But if you ever come to King's Landing, please do not hesitate to visit my home.
