06-25 The Golems
“Then, next is the Minister of Finances, Blaoroot-sama . ”
A thin-haired elderly man stepped forward and bowed .
“Golem, ‘Zingel’ . The Magi Craftsman is Yarui-Dale-dono . ”
From under the cloth appeared a rather normal golem, bronze-colored and with the figure of a girl in her 15s .
“That’s rather ordinary . ”
“Well, surely that’s the norm . ”
The nobles whispered the conclusions they came to after evaluation . However, when ‘Zingel’ began its demonstration surprise painted those faces .
–A flower blooming on a plain, the meadow swaying in the wind
–A glittering cloud, the blue heavens reaching everywhere
–A singing bird, the trees are really noisy
–A gentle wind, this beautiful land .
It sang with a clear, pure voice .
“Ooh…”
“How beautiful…”
Although the singing golem wasn’t as flashy as the previous ‘Ceres’ had been, after performing three pieces it left everyone with a strong impression .
And after that the party continued with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Domestic Affairs, and the Minister of Defense . Their golems were passable .
“Minister of Magic, Kelhidore-sama . ”
A man with a small build similar to Jin stepped forward .
“Golem, ‘Helios’ . It is my own work . ”
And then, a pure white golem appeared from under the cloth .
“Oooh!”
“That appearance!”
On the golem’s back there were equally pure white wings .
Jin recalled the golem he saw in Port Rock, but this Helios was more refined than it .
“Angel…”
Someone whispered that word . Jin was extremely curious about it, but he had no one to ask .
Helios fluttered her wings slowly, she didn’t fly but gave four elegant bows to the surroundings .
“What a beauty . ”
That must’ve been the honest thoughts of the people watching .
After that, one golem after another was presented .
So far, the ratio of male figures to female figures was about 3:7 .
“The feudal lord of Blue Land, Duke Blue-sama . ”
Finally Duke Blue’s name was called .
“Golem, ‘Tauros’ . Magi Craftsman, Jade Nepheloi . ”
Duke Blue’s golem was unmistakably a male-type, and furthermore had a large build .
“Oooooooh!”
“How mighty!”
“Looks reliable . ”

Its outward appearance suited its armor with a black lustre, being over two meters tall . Today instead of a sword it was holding a shield .
Not only that, it was one of those so-called huge tower shields .
Its overwhelming intimidating air pressured the people watching without any particular demonstration .
“The assistant feudal lord of Blue Land, administrator of the eastern section, Earl Kuzumsama . ”
Earl Kuzuma stepped forward, and gave a neat bow right out of a textbook .
“Golem, ‘Lotte’ . Magi Craftsman, Jin . ”
None of the people watching were surprised when Lotte was revealed from under the cloth . However,
“My name is Lotte . I pledge fealty to Your Royal Highness . ”
She stated with a clear voice, and when with smooth movements she followed a vassal’s etiquette, those with discerning eyes watched it their eyes open wide . Rather than smooth, the movements could be called those of a human’s .
But, the majority of people present didn’t realize it,
“Hmm, how ordinary . ”
“She’s wearing a maid’s clothes, but that’s where the novelty ends . ”
Remarks like that which missed the point were said .
“…Jin, was it . Just what kind of a man is he?”
“Well, it’s just hearsay, but apparently he’s the Magi Craftsman who built the golem that won the recent golem boat competition in Port Rock . ”
“Is he a freelancer?”
“No, I’m sorry to say that it seems Shouro Kingdom’s Reinhardt-dono has secured him . ”
“…That’s a shame . ”
However, a conversation like that was had among one subgroup of the nobles .

“The assistant feudal lord of Blue Land, administrator of the western section, Earl Guaransama . ”
It was Earl Guarana’s turn .
“Golem, ‘Owl’ . Magi Craftsman, Bootes . ”
The gilded golem was presented .
“Huh . ”
“Gaudy, isn’t it?”
“It’s just a thing of an upstart Earl . ”
The assessment seemed to be on the harsh side .
“Feudal lord of Streal, Viscount Grieri-sama . ”
It was the noble who accommodated them the other day .
“Golem, ‘Iron’ . Magi Craftsman, Gladia Hampton . ”
The golem was built by Beana’s teacher .
Isn’t this just a regular type of golem, people thought as they saw what looked like a standard male-type golem .
The presentation continued, and finally it was the invitees’ turn .
“Shouro Empire diplomat, Reinhardt-sama . ”
Reinhardt stepped forward .
“Golem, ‘Schwarz Ritter’ . It is my own work . ”
He removed the cloth and unveiled Schwarz Ritter .
“Ooh, so that’s the rumored Schwarz Ritter . ”

“I see, a symmetrical balanced form, and natural movements . ”
“If you had a hundred of those golems surely you’d have nothing to fear . ”
Typical of combat golems, Schwarz Ritter wielded a wooden fake sword and displayed several forms .
The fake sword was of course because of being in front of royalty .
“Celuroa Kingdom’s special envoy, Dominique-sama . ”
A young woman stepped forward . She bowed elegantly so that her blond hair reached down at her waist level .
“Golem, ‘Loiseau’ . It is my own work . ’
Apparently she was also a Magi Craftsman . That ‘Loiseau’ golem was some kind of a bird-type golem . It had red, blue, and yellow feathers .
As one would expect, it was heavy enough to also not be able to fly, but its chirping and wing-flapping figure was rather authentic . Above all, its value was in the skill required to make it only the size of a pigeon .
Since the nobles that came from afar didn’t bring any golems with them, Dominique’s ‘Loiseau’ was the last one .
“Splendid work, everyone . It is difficult to say which one is the best, but later on We will rank them using Our own judgement, so no hard feelings . ”
The King’s voice echoed .
“Be that as it may, time for consideration is needed . And therefore, even though it is a stand-up meal, please enjoy the food . Everyone, I’d like you to put aside your rank and freely enjoy yourselves . ”
