Legend

"Heh, here it is.... as far as I can see, it looks like a normal shop."

That's right. Someone who knows. "

"... is there any qualification to enter the store?

What Ray thought about the man's explanation was a so-called membership-based store.

Such a shop that you cannot enter without referral from a member or solicitation from the shop owner.

Some shops are meaningless to include people who come here for the first time while saying membership, but there is certainly a solid membership system.

If this is a shop like this, would you let a man introduce you? Fortunately, I didn't need to give out a membership card to enter the store.

(From the explanation of this store, there was nothing strange about membership. Besides, even Eggdinis is full of nobles and big merchants.)

It may be Ray's assumption, but many of the nobles and big merchants feel vulnerable to things like membership cards that only the chosen ones can get.

"Seth... I'm sorry, but I want you to stay around."

A man who says he's sorry.

You realized that in the meantime, Seth would not attack without any particular reason.

It was obvious to Ray, but seeing Seto for the first time was an important part of his perception.

"Seth, that's why you're hiding somewhere. Luckily, there's plenty of places to hide around here, okay?

"Gru"

When Seth rang his throat at at Ray's words, he headed for the gap in the building.

Just in good shape, in a place where there is a gap like a set.

"Now, that's all right. Do you want to go inside?"

"... I don't know what to ask you now, but are you sure you're okay?

A man who seems a little worried.

If he were a man, he would have thought that if Ray's subordinate had caused a disturbance, it would have been troublesome.

Ray understood the man's thoughts, but nodded that he didn't have to worry about it for the time being.

"Seth is smart. It's okay to hang around. And... whatever happens, don't worry, I'll take care of it."

The man finally relieves himself of Ray's confident words.

Naturally, the man knows that Ray is a famous adventurer with deep red.

There's no such thing as subjugating Griffons, so it's only natural to notice Ray's identity.

The man with peace of mind takes Ray into the store.

"Hee... this is it again..."

Ray's mouth leaked a surprising mix of colors.

Does the store itself feel like a normal tavern or a restaurant?

What is slightly different is that it is normal for a shop like this to narrow the gap between tables in order to get as many customers as possible - although there is still a gap that can be walked normally.

However, the gap in this store is bigger than usual.

The people who come to the store, the people who come to know, and... above all, the people who work in the store.

"Is that a golem, too? Somewhat like a doll."

With words such as dolls, there is some bitterness in Ray's words.

That's probably because of something that happened in the Labyrinth City, where I first met Vihera and Bune.

They manipulated the doll and attacked.

In a sense, it should also be called the mastermind of Ray's case in the Labyrinth City.

However, the doll that fought at that time was a doll that children used to play with, whereas the doll that was moving in the tavern was a doll the size of a human being.

However, the dolls are different from each other, and some are similar to humans in appearance, while others shrink as the golem is.

(I mean, is this it? Golem Cafe is not a maid cafe. No, it's not a coffee shop, but a restaurant or a tavern.)

So there's a demand? Ray and I doubt it, but the number of visitors is actually quite high.

It wasn't full, but about 70% to 80% of the tables were filled.

I was told by a man that people who liked things would come together, so that means it's not hard to predict that the customers here would be like that.

"Let's sit over there for now."

A man prompts Ray to go to an empty table.

In the meantime, the man returns a word or two when greeted by some of the other table guests.

"You have a big face."

"My face is wide... As I said earlier, this shop is a place where people like you come to know. Naturally, it's a small audience, so you'll get to know it naturally."

I sat in a chair, convinced by the man's words.

Then the Golem will arrive soon.

It's not a mannequin-like doll type, it's a golem that reduces the size of a regular golem.

The golem stands by Ray's table.

"What do you want? Nevertheless, this restaurant is not proud of its cuisine, so I don't want to be expected to taste it."

I see. Then give me a proper recommendation. Oh, I don't need alcohol. "

It's the first time I've come to this store, so it's better for a man to decide what kind of food is delicious.

The man looks a little surprised to Ray when he makes that decision.

"Is alcohol really good?

Oh, that way.

With such thoughts in mind, Ray nods.

I am not extremely vulnerable to alcohol.

That's why I don't lose consciousness just by taking a sip, and I can drink it if I want to drink it normally, but the biggest reason is that drinking alcohol doesn't taste delicious at all.

That said, it was Ray's decision not to bother drinking a drink that wasn't delicious.

"Okay. But I'll have a drink.

That's what I said, the guy who ordered it.

Ray nods at it.

Ray doesn't think drinking alcohol is delicious, but that's why he doesn't imitate stopping others from drinking.

When Ray saw the man ordering, he looked around the tavern again.

(No maid coffee, Golem coffee?... well, I've never been to a maid coffee)

For Ray, who was born and raised in the countryside of Tohoku, a maid cafe is something that comes out of TV, animation, games, cartoons, and more.

That's why I don't really understand maid coffee... but as far as I can see, I think I'm probably right.

"What do you think? Every golem is amazing, isn't it? It's not a regular golem, so it's not like it's for sale... but it's basically a hobby made by alchemists. That's why state-of-the-art technology is often used in large quantities. In a sense, close to the cutting edge of golem development."

Well, it's a hobby.

It is not uncommon for a hobbyist to demonstrate incredible abilities at times.

Sometimes it's like putting all the technology you have into your hobbies.

In the sense of making money, it would be a waste of technology.

However, few people think that it's because of their hobbies that they can do what they want.

Because Ray understood it, he was convinced by the word hobby he used.

"Do you understand?... in fact, buying a golem like this should cost more than buying a regular golem. This is how you can look at it and enjoy it. Isn't this what it looks like, Egginis?

Speaking of which, did you bring this man here in search of an exquisite specialty?

With that in mind, Ray talks about the food Golem left on the table.

As the man says, it's never good food.

Of course it's not tasty, so in that sense, it's really ordinary and ordinary food.

While eating such a dish, Ray nods to the man's words.

I see. I was hoping it would be a specialty, but it's a rare experience to be able to see golem like this. "

While saying that, Ray looks away at men who are making noise like ecstasy.

"Look at this. At this size, this precision... how the hell can we make a golem like this?!

From what I was talking about, I could predict that I was probably an alchemist.

This will inspire you to see the golem developed by an alchemist who is more skilled than you.

Again, if you look at the other tables instead of the golem, there are quite a few alchemists.

... some of them seem proud, and it was easy to predict that the alchemist was probably the one who developed the Golem that was moving here.

"By the way, can I buy the golem I work here?

"Hmm? Well, basically, I can't. If you really want it, we need to negotiate with the alchemist who made the golem and get him to make a new one."

"Can't I buy the Golem I work for directly? That's a shame."

"I don't know what to do. As I have said many times, the Golems working here are basically made by alchemists for their hobbies.... some of them are about showing off new technologies."

Ray nods honestly, unfortunately, to the man's words.

If that's the rule in this tavern, Ray wouldn't do anything like break it.

Now, I needed to think about buying Golems and Magic Items from tomorrow and see what kind of Golems existed in Egginis.

"Speaking of which, is there any Golem developed in the rumored high-performance Golem workshop in this tavern?

Pickle.

The man who heard Ray's words moved his eyebrows for a moment.

Nevertheless, he tried to keep it as facial expression as possible.

Of course, however, Ray had a good look at the man's attitude.

Still, you didn't say anything because you thought Ray was hurting you.

Or is there another reason?

Ray doesn't know where it is, and he won't break into a man.

"So, what do you think? If there's a golem in that workshop, I'd like to see it if I could."

"No, I don't. The Golem in that workshop is high performance, but not suitable for mass production. Besides, the alchemists who work there aren't like sending golem to this tavern."

The words of the man who said that were frustrated, angry, dissatisfied... mixed with such various emotions.

(Looking at this, maybe this guy has something to think about in the workshop that's making high-performance golem.)

With that in mind, Ray once again thinks about the high-performance golem and realizes that he still didn't know the name of the workshop.

Even if we didn't know the name of the workshop, we didn't have to worry about the high-performance golem because everyone knew what workshop it was right away.

I think it would be nice to ask a man who thinks about the workshop.

However, open your mouth when you decide that you need to know the name of the workshop.

"Speaking of which, I don't know because I've only just come to Exgenis, but what's the name of the workshop that makes that high-performance golem?

"... Dolan Workshop."

The man tells her how sorry he is to see it.

As for Ray, the Dolan Workshop is purely amazing in that it has the ability to overwhelm other Golems...

And I don't understand why men hate Dolan Workshop so much.

Nevertheless, as far as the man's condition is concerned, even if Ray asks about the situation around it, it's not very good, but I don't think he'll talk.

I don't think I need to be upset because it gives me a lot of detailed information.

(In Japan, soccer, baseball, basketball, volleyball... and so on, there's a team that I don't like unconditionally.)

Incidentally, Ray wasn't particularly interested in sports, so he was indifferent.

Essentially, baseball often crushed TV shows that I wanted to watch, so I hated professional baseball.

"Oh, sorry. I was hoping you'd have some fun with Egginiss, but it made the air worse. Anyway, enjoy it slowly over here now."

That said, the man smiled so as to regain his mind.
