Chapter 8: Golem Creator

"Ah ...... so ...... what was your reaction earlier? Did you come to my place for Galatea by any chance?"

"Master, I sensed tremendous excitement and emotion from Noah-sama. But I'm a little scared.”

“Oh, no. hahaha… I showed you something embarrassing.”

It was a tour to find out what she had come to our place for, but it seemed to have more effect than expected. With my tail between my legs, I headed back to the mansion.

I wonder what kind of excitement Galatea would be able to pull off. ...... I stare at Noah, who is sitting elegantly with some kind of embarrassed grimace on her face.

“Grace, do you remember that I make golems?”

“Oh, I believe you made that golem on your shoulder yourself, didn't you?”

“Yes, making golems has always been a hobby of mine and this one is the 30th generation.....”

"What? That bird has been replaced so many times?”

“Yes, I've been making a lot of improvements to it....... By the way, it has a bow gun in its mouth, so it doubles as a guard.”

She said a little proudly. It's a wonder that the bird in front of me looks so strong when she says so. Well, I guess it's stronger than me. ......

Did putting a gun in a statue’s nose become popular or something?

“I've been making golems like that for a while now and I've woken up to the Golem Creator skill, but I've been struggling with a lot of things. ..... I heard that there was powerful golem in your territory. Galatea is a Souzi relic, right? In fact, even before you pioneered it, I wanted to go to Asgard to see the golem, but my father stopped me..... So when I heard that you were recruiting for the territory, I couldn't stay away......"

“Well, at that time It was said that the golem would kill anyone who came near it..... Your father would be worried......”

I agree with Noah's father about that. Asgard has a lot of monsters and I was prepared to die at first. Thinking clearly, my dad who wanted me to develop this place is really crazy. I'm going to kick his ass....

Thinking about it now, Galatea looks a little dissatisfied.

“Master, I'm not a golem, I'm a robot.”

“Yes, I know that, but it's a bit complicated right now, so can you keep quiet for now?”

“It's amazing that a golem would have an opinion about its master... Moreover, it has established its own ego..... Can I disassemble it it?”

“I don’t think that’s a good idea! Where did the typical noblewoman character you displayed up until now go?”

I plunged into Noah, who was staring at Galatea with a very curious eye and she laughed shyly “Ahahaha”.

Seeing her like that, I felt the discomfort I had been feeling disappear. Oh, yes..... she was this kind of girl. When I first met her, she was more than happy to take me to the library rather than tea and when Bowman was gabbling about iron, she would ask interesting questions like, "What would happen if It’s used on a golem?

“Master, I can sense a strong interest in me from Noah-sama, nostalgia for Master, apology for the rest...... and a faint emotion. I think you can trust her."

“What do you mean by faint emotion?”

“It would be tactless of me to say that.”

I stare at Galatea as she says this and then I look at Noah, who is staring at me. Well, if Galatea says it’s okay to trust her, then it’s fine.

“I think I can solve the bathing problem you just mentioned, Grace-sama. I’m capable of controlling magic to a moderate degree, not what is commonly called battle magic, but life magic."

"Wow, so you can cut these into heart shapes?"

I handed her an apple on the table and she smiled with pride and used her magic. The wind blade, controlled by an overwhelming amount of control, cuts the apple into heart shapes.

It’s amazing… I pick up a wonderfully heart-shaped apple and let out a breath of admiration. This is not to say that Vigna is inferior in any way, the purpose of mastering magic is different. Unlike combat magic, it’s important to control the magic used in everyday life.

“I can put as much firepower into the stone as you want and I can help you with the paperwork to ease your burden. In return.....”

“In return ......?”

"Please let me touch Lady Galatea as I please! I feel like that would allow me to make better golems and also I simply get excited when I see her moving."

I ask Galatea, slightly taken aback by Noah's brisk speech. To be honest, her personality is a bit of worrying, but if she has no hostile intent, there's no problem with having her as an immigrant. The rest is up to Galatea.

“That is… is Galatea okay with it?”

“Yeah, well, she doesn't seem to want to do any harm......”

Galatea seems to be okay, though she seems to be a bit taken back. However, when I was grinning that it was rare for Galatea to be upset, she glared at me and puffed her cheek as if she was sulking.

"I'd also like to ask you one more favor ...... I’d be happy if you allowed me to study golems....... Of course. I'll make sure it doesn't interfere with your work."

"Yeah, that's fine, isn't it? I mean, that's what you're here for, right? Bowman has created some interesting material. Reach out to him. Also, I have a maid named Noel who has a great imagination. I'm sure you'll get some great ideas from talking to her, so let's get together for dinner sometime.”

"......"

I don't know why she looked so puzzled by my words. I wondered what was wrong with her.

“I'm sorry, you seem to be cooperating more than I imagined you would and a lot of people don't like women my age doing that kind of research or treat us like freaks......”

"Is that so? You’ve always liked research and golems. Rather, I find it easier to talk to you now that you’re more like the Noah I know.”

"Thank you very much. Grace-sama, you haven't changed at all."

I don't know why she smiled and nodded at my words. I think it's rather obvious..... Bowman sometimes distracts himself from his work and tinkers with something. ......

For some reason she's smirking when she looks at Galatea to ask for her agreement. What’s that? This face is the same as the one she used to make when she looked at Vigna and me.

Oh well, that solves what was bugging me.

“So, Noah ...... you are officially an immigrant.”

"Yes, thank you. If you want, we can turn your statue into a golem and move it.”

“I wouldn't want that for the rest of my life, so don't do that!”

If she talks to Agni or Bowman, they're likely to turn it into a golem. And so Noah decided to live as an immigrant.
