Chapter 31: Asgard after a long time

When I returned to Asgard, waiting for me were about two golems and a steam car. One was a six-legged deformity and the other was crawling on all fours like a dog. They were both about the same size, but what in the world were they?

As I got out of the steam car with a stunned look on my face. Noel noticed me and ran up to me.

“Welcome back, Grace-sama! I'm glad to see you're all right."

“Oh, I'm home. ...... more than that, what's this?"

“Oh ...... this is ......."

Noel was about to say something, but Sarah's loud voice drowned it out.

“So now we're going to start the golem race! Everyone make bets on which one will win!!!"

“Golem......"

“Race?"

“Yes... it started when Sarah said that it would be a waste to let just Noah play with the golem she was building in between jobs. Then Master Bowman got into the mood and said he would join us in his steam car.....”

Noel said with her head in her hands as me and Vigna listened back to the unfamiliar words. Oh, I screwed up...... no one can stop these guys from running off without me and Vigna....

“But didn’t Noah get mad? They used her precious Golem like that......"

“When Sarah said she'd set up a bath with Galatea next time, she got an immediate yes.”

“Wow.......”

“Master ...... my chastity is being sold without my permission.....”

Galatea, was looking unusually impatient. Well, if she really doesn't like it, Noah will stop too....

“For now, can you call Bowman and Noah for me? We need to have a little meeting."

“I understand. Just a moment, please..... I'll set up the conference room as well."

“Thank you. I'm glad Noel is doing well."

“I’m very happy when I see Grace-sama's face. Actually, I was a little lonely......"

Noel looked a little embarrassed as she said this and ran off. What a cutie. While I was thinking that, Vigna blurted out with a withering look in her eyes.

“Lolicon.”

“No, that’s wrong! That’s not what I was doing....."

“Please don’t touch me, you’ll infect me with your loliconism… kidding,"

Vigna giggled as she said this. Seeing her in such a natural state, I realized that I had finally returned to Asgard. After all, we've been on our toes.

“I'm home, Asgard.”

I said this to Asgard, which is now my home.

A lord is a very busy man and even busier because I have to send reinforcements to a neighboring country in a month's time.

“Galatea-sama, I’ve missed you so much! Beautiful form as ever, material more glorious than mithril, the best!"

“Noah-sama, I sense excessive excitement and joy in you. I sense danger to myself."

“Noah.... I know you were lonely, but right now we need to talk a little urgently. You can do whatever you want later."

“I've got your word, Grace-sama! Let's take a bath together. Let's wash!”

“Master!?”

I bow my head to Galatea, who looks at me as if I were a traitor. Noah worked so hard in our absence. I thought a little reward was in order. I don't think she'll be harmed…

Then I look at Vigna, Galatea, Bowman and Noah, gathered in the conference room, in that order.

“So ...... did anything change while I was gone?”

“Yes..... we have succeeded in developing a second steam-powered car, this time with an emphasis on speed."

Bowman says proudly. That's the guy he was using earlier in the Golem race. Wasn't it broken when the Golem attacked it?

“We haven't had any problems, but there have been a couple of things that have been bothering me... there’ve been sightings of wyverns in the mines. Perhaps some of the dragons that survived the last battle escaped there."

“I see.... the mine.....”

It looks like the next battle with the monsters will also take place in a mine, so it might just be the right place. It could be a chance for the warriors to learn how to fight in a confined space.

“Can Bowman try to see if he can make a gun that can be used in a confined space and still be destructive? Also, Noah, I need a job offer for someone who can use magic. I've gotten into a bit of trouble.... and I'm afraid I'm going to have to leave here again."

“Did something happen in the royal capital?”

“Oh, I've been asked to come to the rescue of the Kingdom of Dwell."

“Dwell....?”

Bowman looked unusually grim at my words. No wonder, because Dwell is his home....
