c64 - Last Days in the Royal Capital

Now that I can rest in peace with regards to the children's health, I decided that it was time for us to return.
When I told Ramiris that we were leaving and turned to do so,

「Wait! Heeeey, wait!」

She grabbed and pulled me by the collar.
Being strangled feels pretty nasty. Even if I don't need to breathe, it is not a pleasant feeling.

「What? Picking a fight?」
「Am not! I helped you so shouldn't you show your grat.i.tude somehow?
Of course, you appreciation is thanks enough? But as a fellow person...?」
「Ah, my bad. I'm not a person after all! So... I'm off!」

I quickly retorted.

「Uwaaaaa~, wait, wait!
Hey, you know, we're in trouble!
'Cause you destroyed the golem we lost our guardian!
Look at us, we're all kids here! Really weak, you know?
THE-RE-FORE! We're in trouble! Can't you do something about that?」
「.....」

Hmph.
What a pain. I could simply say "you reap what you sow" but it is true that I was the one to break it.
Why did I have to vaporize it without a trace... Well, I guess it is true that I went too far there.
Even though demonic steel is excellent against demonic abilities, it, as every other metal, has a melting point.
So it's not a surprise that it melted.
In the first place, I did think that with『Great Sage』-sensei, I would be fine regardless; and that's how it turned out.
I really should have dropped the output a bit...
Now then, in place of the golem...
I could compensate them with demonic steel, but I feel that would be a waste. Just imagining how much I would need to give to make a golem that size makes me dizzy.
Hmph...
Should I make a human sized doll and have the spirits possess it?

≪Solution. Verified command Create: Golem. Creation possible.
Abilities can be added through a spirit or a demon.
The outward appearance will be according to your imagination.
Please decide on a summoning target when creating the golem.≫

Way to go『Great Sage』.
Seems like it pulled the appropriate spell from thousands of magic archives in an instant.
A relatively simple magic. Summoning magic I first saw during the adventurer exam and have been a.n.a.lyzing it ever since.
So, all I need to decide is whether to use a demon or a spirit.
A spirit, as the previous cases have shown, tend to without a personality.
So a demon? Frankly, though their name makes them sound like a backstabbing bunch, they aren't like that at all.
Thanks to the summoning contract they cannot betray the summoner. Well, as long as it is reasonable.
Any request beyond the original contract annuls it. Such an act testifies that the parties involved are not satisfied with each other
But I guess it's wrong to label demons as evil just because they are demons.
So, let's make a golem using demonic steel and summon us a demon.
Frankly, I should be able to make an item far stronger than any A-ranked monster around.

「I got it, I got it. You're noisy, Rami-chan.
Listen up, I'll make you a guardian, so no more complains.
As compensation, teach me a bit about the Ghost Researchers later on!
Grandpa Kaijin in my city is deeply curious about them.
He was working on the Ghost Researcher golem before!」
「That's no problem, I'll tell you about them any time! What kind of golem will you make?」
「Hmm? Ah, a stronger one than the one I defeated...」
「Seriously?! You... you are so nice!」
「I... guess. Oh, I'll make it, but you can't use it for evil deeds or anything?
I'll place a master lock on it so that it's only usable for your defense!」
「Okay, okay! No problem! But we can play around with it in here, right?」
「Hmm? Ah... as long as its in here. But don't go causing trouble, okay?
And by the way, according to my (Great Sage's) predictions, it'll turn out really powerful!
If handled poorly there will be victims, okay?」

I said, and began preparations.
I took out demon steel from my stomach and stacked them up.
Having swam around in my magical energy for a long time, the steel is of excellent quality.
The children, interested, crowded around to watch.
