Chapter 153
－Golem POV－
When we open our eyes, our sleeping Master is there, surrounded by immense magical power.
This must surely be the person we are to serve from now on.
When we inspect our bodies, we find that they were made for easy movement.
We think for a moment.
What does Master want?
...Flooring.
That's right. Our mission is to help Master.
Then we will create the floor Master envisioned.
Master wants more than just flooring; Master wants this house to be comfortable to live in.
Then all we need to do is make this house the comfortable home Master desires.
We will all do our best!
A new companion has been created.
They seem to be in charge of Master's clothes... How envious.
No, we were the first to be created.
Let us have more confidence.
...Another new companion.
We hear they specialize in butchering prey.
If it's about meals, you need only leave it to us...
We were mistaken.
They were a companion specializing in leather processing.
Apparently, processing leather takes a considerable amount of time.
We almost lost the chance to help Master.
It is good to have another companion.
Another companion.
A companion created to protect the fields and stabilize the food supply.
Fields are indispensable to the stable life Master desires.
It is very important work.
But why does each one have a stone that doubles magic power attached to it?
How envious.
...I'm sorry.
The companions outside also have the duty of protecting the fields from magical beasts and monsters.
That is why the stones that double their magic power were attached to them.
It was Master's kindness.
We must understand what Master is thinking even better.
But, Master.
If you are going to help with the fields, please suppress your magic power.
Your magic power is affecting the vegetables while they are still growing!
Our companions in the fields are having trouble.
...
Core-sama and Chai-sama are watching the companions outside fight.
Please rest assured.
We will thoroughly protect Master's house.
The companions outside are strong enough to instantly kill magical beasts and monsters with advanced magic, so this place is perfectly safe.
...
The house is complete, and our work has decreased.
Are we no longer needed?
No, we were mistaken.
Master teaches us one task after another, from preparing meals to cleaning.
I see. Master wants us to handle all the work inside the house.
Then we shall strive for perfection.
More beastfolk children have joined our new companions.
They cried when they saw us, which troubled us, but Master did not reprimand us.
I suppose it is all right.
In the morning, the children wake up and look for Master.
This is troubling.
We want to wake Master, but how should we go about it?
We have not been taught how to wake Master.
Among the knowledge we were given, there is one way to wake someone.
Shall we try it?
Success!
Master seems to be suffering a little, though...
Master seems to wake up more refreshed than usual.
We will do our best again tomorrow.
Today, too, we will do our best for Master.
We will not forgive anyone who tries to interfere, whoever they may be!
...Master says it is still too soon for that wine.
Should we return it? ...Surely we wouldn't keep it instead... would we?
