The Sorcerer King of Destruction and the Golem of the Barbarian Queen

Episode 66: Pedestrians and Disturbing Footsteps

Me and Gore broke up with the kids inside and went straight home to Grandma Tete's mansion.

The fact that I was late for my return because of eating road grass, I should still say, my grandmother stuck me. Damn, it's a good idea Baba. Were you even weighing in time?

Nevertheless, I honestly confessed that I was having fun eating pears with the kids, and unexpectedly I wasn't hit this time.

I don't know what Baba's standards are...

Well. That's how they refilled the seasoning, and I got safely seated for dinner.

Earlier, the elderly hadn't, and the pears almost fed the kids. I'm actually very hungry.

A table lined with brightly colored dishes.

Surrounding the wooden table are Grandma Tete and Acetu and me and Gore.

It is a table of rather chaotic members: the mightiest monster Baba, a gentle pure boy, an otherworldly man (and a magical king whose identity is to destroy the world) and the invincible beauty goddess Elf Golem. Besides, the service is coming with Debus, the vicious face golem.

The crying child also faints silently, a perfect formation.

This is how I'm having dinner today, and my healing boy Acetu is with me.

On the day this child comes to Grandma Tete's mansion, he generally takes dinner with him before returning home.

I think it's a very good thing. Acetu is too small and luxurious, and I want you to eat and nourish a lot and grow up big. The boy's house is poor, so I'm sure it will also help the household.

"I'll have it."

I put my hands together and offered my gratitude to the life and producers of food and to Baba for cooking.

By the way, there is no culture in this world that I “will have”.

Well, there was no dirt culture, no high touch habit...

From the people of this world, I may be a suspicious person who carefully declares to take a serious white-blade stance and get something before eating.

Still, I'll take it.

This is a matter of soul and sincerity.

"I'll have it."

Asetu imitated me and gave it to me. Kind.

"That's an unusual habit of Nemaki, isn't it? I don't suppose that means you're praying to the Church God, either?... Well, I don't think it's bad."

Grandma Tete said she saw how we were doing.

But only a grandmother who says so, I won't take it. Even Gore, who doesn't eat dinner, says he's posing as a servant for some reason. Again, this Baba is the only one with a low level of culture.

For dinner menu of the day, for cooked rice with mountain vegetables, stewed root vegetables.

Baked white fish with vanilla. There are other small, sesame bowls lined up like leafy vegetable salads.

The seasoning I bought earlier looked somewhat like Mirin. Did you even use it for this fish dish?

The ingredients inside are abundant and basically many mountain delights.

However, I will explain why later, but by no means all the crops I grow in the mountains and inside. Even this white fish like today's Suzuki is probably a sea fish.

By the way, have you noticed? There is cooked rice on the menu.

... Yes. There is usually rice in this world.

Well, there's wheat. Apparently, it's no different from the original world when it comes to livestock as well as major crops. Besides rice, it confirms the presence of corn. Sometimes bread comes out with corn.

Speaking of other major crops in the original world, what else would there be...... Yes, potatoes naturally exist. You've eaten many times already. I haven't seen the banana yet.

Huh? Why did bananas suddenly come up on the subject?

... Dude, bananas would be staple foods.

Together, rice in this world doesn't taste so bad either.

From what I've heard, we seem to be doing extensive rice cultivation in the Alavi clan and elsewhere. I am a gatekeeper when it comes to agriculture, but this region is warm and rich in water, and it seems to be somewhat suitable for rice making.

However, rice doesn't feel like staple food. Probably the staple food in this country is wheat. Even in the golem, the main cultivation is wheat. Rice seems to be treated like a cereal used by cooking.

In Grandma Tete's house, she puts rice on the table every so often, but the reason for that is simply because I'm happy.

Now, let's take a look at the key crops and get back to the table.

The main dish of the day is a soft simmered beef soup.

This is the meat of the cows of the Siddle Mountains, where the example gore hunted all over.

The soup contains supermassive amounts of meat. I'm no longer sure if this is juice or pure meat dish. So much meat.

This beef is a little stiff when left intact, but when simmered with vanilla that can be picked in the mountains, it softens and tastes very good. Tastefully, it might resemble just a little bit of goat meat.

Also, even though it has a strong texture when it comes to BBQ, it is a level where it is good for young people to eat. Normally delicious.

This is going to make it into a specialty ingredient inside.

"If it tasted so good, I would have done more interruptions..."

I shrugged unexpectedly as I cheeked the soft meat.

So delicious. What about Siddle beef?

"Ha, you... That's why it's so dangerous to hunt big goats. It's not just that I can't make money. It's always a big risk to pull them off the territory. I can't believe we're hunting goats for meat. Only assholes think about that."

I've heard of it before, indeed, that it will cost you a deficit. Plus, they told me I used to be out to the dead, and at that time, I sincerely thought it wasn't something I'd do...

But, Grandma. Seriously, it's delicious, huh? This beef.

"I'm guessing you've been making mistakes here lately without even letting the dead out, huh? I think it's worth it for me, even with a slight deficit."

"You know, Brother Nemaki, big goat hunting can cause perimeter damage if you fail."

The boy Acetu started explaining to me.

By the way, his commentary is not like Grandma Tete's, and he's always kind and kind.

"Perimeter damage?

"Look, if you fail to lure one person into the vicinity of the village, and they use the [wind calling] guide there... Little villages are wiped out. That's in no time."

"Yeah, seriously...... Oh, but I see. If you say so, sure, it could suck when you can get out in people on that one..."

What I remember at this time is the sight of the battlefield trail between Gore and the cows.

In fact, that place had been quite devastated by the destruction of trampled rock formations and so forth. It's a one-sided battle with almost no room for a bull to fight back, that's all. If more than one bull appeared in a bunch of places of residence, even Gore would never be able to defend it without causing damage.

Think about it, that Gore massacre that took place in the middle of the mountain...

There was a wide slope of unmanned, open rock skin. Besides, in the safety zone below the slope, they make me relax and referee. Such an excellent place to pick up would not be the case if you were to look in the mountains. And guiding targets even coming from above in that place to kill them with spraybait is the best way to kill any more.

Choosing a battle location, setting my initial position, encounter position with cattle, timing. Everything was perfect. As if it had been calculated out from the beginning.

When we get here, one suspicion arises.

I mean, wasn't I the one who was taking it easy to pick herbs then, being subtly directed into a safe zone by Gore? And the first battle with a cow is not an unexpected encounter...

Wasn't Gore luring cows to that place...?

In retrospect, the proximity to the first bull was oddly close.

No, it was too close.

I saw a cow's saliva then, and I'm listening to my nose. That was the distance.

Gore had a good prior knowledge of cattle. Grandma Tete told me a lot about you being a bad warcraft. Can a super worrying, overprotective gore get such a dangerous cow that close to me without any particular reason?

That situation is unlikely, other than if you deliberately let your opponents go bare and direct them.

…………

Again, my gore is horribly cold and clever when it comes to killing.

I glanced sideways and saw Gore sitting next to me on the left.

She's taking my soup replacement to a plate right now.

Looks like he's making more meat for me.

You must have noticed how you liked the beef after watching me eat as usual. This guy is a really good partner.

But it's not totally soup anymore, it's just meat dishes, right?

Gore is looking after my meal very happily now.

Its gracious appearance, even in extremely modest expressions, is as if it envelops all men with infinite affection, but when it is the Virgin Elf of Beautiful Mercy. I don't think it exists in the event of a natural disaster that causes mass killing under very stress.

Though there's only one part of it that I don't know exactly what caused it, I'm sure this guy must have been under extremely enormous stress, like he couldn't help but kill a cow.

I'm so sorry I couldn't notice you, Gore...

But what the hell is the cause of her stress?

"... Brother Nemaki, are you listening? So, this whole thing could have been really dangerous. No matter how strong your brother is, talk to him properly next time, okay?

When I realized it, the acetu boy was looking at me with tender eyes, like my sister, who was an elementary school boy trying to play with matchsticks.

"Shh, I'm sorry. Very well. I was reckless. I didn't know cattle thinning was such a dangerous act..."

I dared to show the boy my intention to reflect.

With regard to this case involving cattle, I have deliberately made a mistake when I felt threatened with abnormal reproduction.

It is naturally a secret to the people inside that the heart-gentle Gore, who is now cutting beef for me next door into easy-to-eat sizes, actually called the cows for slaughter purposes to relieve stress. I'm the only one with a bad reputation for dangerous misconduct. I won't let you treat Gore like a bad wolf. All the mud about this violence is the owner's responsibility. I'll take care of it.

Well, Grandma Tete, etc. who is well aware of Gore's barbarity maybe...

My grandmother eats meat with greed that she doesn't think is old.

She laughed when she noticed my gaze.

"Whatever it is, I can't help but kill it. And now we don't have to crush the goats in the backyard."

It is the same, evil smile.

Yes. Cattle meat is still stockpiled in bulk.

As long as they have big figures, they don't have much to eat. But whatever it is, it kills so much that the total amount becomes enormous. Thanks to this, the inside of the golem is in the midst of a continuous beef festival.

By the way, the majority of the dismantled meat is stored in a co-controlled ice chamber inside.

This large ice chamber is a specially made object arranged and installed by the grandmother, apparently combining the Ice attribute with the Demonic props of the Time attribute. It doesn't seem to extend to the super-performance of Lübeu Zailaine's underground reservoir on boulders, but it still has too much performance.

I've always wondered since I came to this world that this “temporal attribute” is a pretty powerful attribute.

The temporal attribute of having the "manipulation of time and space” property. Most of them are reproductions by high-end magic props, and the actual users of attribute magic are actually not that many.

But even so, slowing down food degradation is the coolest thing. For example, if you put the bun that Grandma inside in my shoulder bag, which is a magic prop for time, you can eat it as soft as you could have done for a while.

The temporal attribute is too strong, isn't it?

You're strong enough to care about the fire attributes that can only be used for campfires and acts of violence, time attributes. Extremely cultural.

Ha. I wish I could have remembered too...

All in all, the richness of this world's food situation is definitely due in part to the high ability to preserve food due to these sorceries and magic props.

This beef can be preserved for a long period of time without salting or smoking. This is plain and pretty awesome.

"Oh, yes, Doctor. Speaking of the great goats, since then, there hasn't been a single visitor. We're all looking forward to it because we can sell it after our furry servants are finished."

Asetu, who was drinking beef soup, said as he remembered.

Speaking of which, even this knowledgeable boy calls me a "goat" about a cow.

It's really hard to be a disciple who has to fit everything in with his master. It is one scene in which his daily struggles are sneaked.

But Grandma Tete's expression seemed to have changed for a moment to this casual statement by Acetu.

"... the pedestrians aren't here?

"That's right. No one's been here since the teachers went to the capital of Sarav."

Merchant.

They, for the most part, come in a large carriage. I feel like a grandfather in a carriage who took care of me during my troubles with the Paisley Chamber of Commerce.

Even if you are a businessman at one point, you are doing business individually, and the reality is that it is a business trip service for a large store, although its contents vary.

They are extremely important in this part of the mountain. Sell me specialties from elsewhere, buy me specialties from inside.

The specialties in here seem to be mainly agricultural and golem-related products. Besides, I wonder if the ore from Mesel that we talked about earlier with the kids in there could count as one of the specialties.

I get the impression that this is a good place to settle in the back of the mountain.

That's why pedestrians usually stop in here often.

Logistics itself originally flourished, this world.

Also, I think this probably has to do with the geographic factors around the inside of the Golem.

There are hardly any settlements in this area, if it does move east or west, and it just seems to be completely rural. But if you go south, you don't. They say there are a lot of different cities along the sea south about half a day to a day from here.

In the first place, this east-west, elongated Alavi clan itself seems to flourish around the southern coast. If you ask me, Sarav, the clan capital, was also a city along the southwest estuary.

It should be noted that to the north is naturally the Siddle Mountains, home to dangerous cattle. In other words, the passage to the practically north is blocked. If you think about it that way, it may be a natural consequence in some ways that the south side, with its sea and harbour, flourishes.

Merchants are very important to me, too. They bring delicious seafood frozen with magic and magic props from the southern coast. They're the ones who bring us ingredients we don't grow inside.

Yes, I owe much to the pedestrians for the abundance of meal menus at Grandma's house.

They are God to me, so to speak.

"That's weird... It's impossible this season for no one to stop by for more than two days."

"Doctor, are you saying something happened in the south?

"I don't know. The pedestrians are dangerously sensitive, and rather, it's possible something happened around here. There was nothing particularly unusual on the road west to the clan capital. If there's anything to it, east...?

Somehow, Grandma Tete and Acetu are talking seriously.

It's an important story about whether you can eat delicious fish, I'm serious too.

Gore is gently taking the rice grain on my cheek. Maybe I haven't heard anything at all.

Oh?

For a moment now, the Gore guy seemed to have taken the rice grain off my cheek and gently carried it to his mouth.

... No way. The golem can't even eat things.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. We need to talk properly.

When I put my gaze back in the front, Grandma Tete is still an imaginary face.

"Across the Siddle Mountains, there has long been information that thieves have flown in from the Kinas side. If they came from the north and bypassed the mountain ranges east, it is possible that there is damage nearby..."

Grandma has a difficult look on her face.

"While Nemaki and I were going to the clan capital, was anything else unusual warm?

"Hmmm......"

Now Asked Acetu looked like he was thinking.

"Speaking of things that have changed, I wonder if a few days ago the cavalry went around forty and east through the forest road in front. It's just after the teachers left, so it was seven or six days ago. I think they're clan soldiers. There were a lot of regular patrols and a few mixed tanks (chariots), so there was a bit of talk among the guards inside."

"Clan cavalry tanks to forty......? So, those guys, how warm is it to be back from a single ride from the east?

"No, I didn't hear that."

………… Who was on duty the last few days?

"Uh, it's just Uncle Seth."

"I don't think Seth and this Horseshoe Golem will take the cavalry away with an enemy..."

Grandma Tete's face is getting tougher and tougher.

Oh, is something wrong?

Totally outside the mosquito net of conversation, I'm getting kind of anxious too...

"This might as well go to the South City once and ask how it's going"

Grandma Tete seems to have begun to look at gathering information in the city.

Well, I agree with that. 'Cause I guess I don't know anything if I'm pulling here more than nobody's coming inside...

All right, I'll take my skin off here.

"Hey, Granny. If that's the case, why don't you and I talk to the city south of here? If you could tell me, I'd know the way."

If you use it to that extent, I can do it.

Whatever, it's an important phase of whether or not you can eat sea fish. I want to help you with something, too.

That's about all the fish and shrimp in this world are plentiful and delicious. Oh, no, crabs are delicious, too. If crab soup comes out for breakfast, I'll be happy all day.

But Grandma Tete, who took this suggestion, threw an uneasy obsession at me, as if even kindergartners who wanted to go to use it would see it.

"Hey, you. Then you're too anxious to listen properly."

What!?

What a disrespectful baba. Well, I'm blessed. I don't have a compulsory education in this world, and I don't know the fine geography of the neighborhood. But even to me, as much as I ask, do it well... ru, or...?

Come to think of it, I'm sure you wouldn't understand half of it if you listened and gave me detailed local information.

Shit, I can't say anything back.

I'm going to figure out exactly what I'm capable of, Baba.

"Gu...... So, as a guardian, does your grandmother follow you?

Granny Tete was a little lost in my suggestion for a downward fix.

But we seem to have come to an immediate conclusion.

"... no. This time, I'll take Debus with me to the south city. Whether you want to show your face to the city's leading men or clan garrisons, it's the quickest way for me to go."

The old lady who said so turned to us.

"Nemaki, you're leaving a message here. If, in the unlikely event, it would be stronger to keep you and Goletalu inside as a set than to have Debus waiting in automatic defense."

Mm, aren't you going to tell me, Granny?

Then it's like your Debas is stronger than our partner.

I know. Golems who are fighting alone using the base defense feature are a few steps weaker than when they are battling normally with their owners. If Debus in a truly automatic defensive state is nearly as strong as Gore, then Debus in a tagged state with his grandmother would mean that he is much stronger than Gore.

In other words, the old lady's rhetoric is the first expression that doesn't come out without considerable confidence in the strength of Debus.

Yeah, it's Grandma. You can't read that statement as a protégé. This is the only way to determine a female male once in a golem gauge. Why don't we break that nose column stretched out with our Gore's strongest punch?

"Nemaki, I asked you to take care of the chickens and goats while you were away. Asetu knows how to do it, so tell me how to do it with you."

"Hmm? Ooh, okay"

"Let me do it, Doctor!

Asetu sounds oddly happy. I get it, boy, I like chickens and goats too.

... Nevertheless, there will be me and Gore inside. Will Grandma Tete take Debus to her own escort this time?

I guess so. Just like I thought.

When Grandma Tete first met us, she was on her way home to gather information about a mysterious bandit who was attacking a mountain village across the mountain.

The investigation itself seemed to be almost empty at this time, with the grandmother not grabbing the tail of the thief rumors and turning back, but I can still imagine that, due to the nature of the purpose, it was somewhat of a dangerous journey.

But Grandma hasn't let Debus accompany her escort at this time. He was keeping him waiting at home.

Even when I was traveling to the clan capital, Debus left a message at home.

Debas is pretty strong, even from her earlier grandmother's confident remarks. In fact, even the range of topsoil foes was as wide as a ghost. There is also the fact that Demaraan's grandfather is unilaterally bogged down in the game that he was pretty strong in his active life.

Granny's partner Golem, as vicious as it looks, no, I'm pretty sure he sees it stronger than that. It can't be useless for escorts or luggage.

She says what it was to take care of chickens and goats that kept Debus from leaving a message. But I'm sure the truth isn't. In all seriousness, I was walking alone with a dangerous old man, letting a strong Debus leave a message to protect everyone inside in case.

This one is truly unsaveable, almost a tundeleva baa.

I can't be honest. I sighed deeply at my troubled grandmother.

------

The next day, still at a dim hour.

Me and Gore were coming to the entrance inside to drop off Grandma Tete leaving for the south.

Grandma Tete in her travelling outfit standing in front of the main entrance is accompanied by Debus next door.

It's pretty early in the morning in time, so there's still no foster people around. People in this world are up early, so I think maybe in another 30 or 40 minutes, people will come out.

In fact, from a few houses, we can already see something like cooking smoke.

"Nemaki, I asked you to stay away."

"Oh, leave it to me"

"... don't you skip practicing letters because I'm not around?

"I know, I know"

"Do you really understand? Thank you. I don't have a serious taste in my reply..."

I was going to drop you off a long time ago, but unexpectedly, Grandma's alert went on for more than five minutes afterwards. Older people are a long story.

"... so, you know, because it's just you and me, we're not gonna drag Goletalu from the morning to the bedroom and live a shitty life all day long, are we? I tend to lose my toothpick when I'm young, but I have moderation for that..."

"Oh, already, because I get it! Go on, Granny!

Thus finally, Grandma Tete set off for the southern city.

In the morning I dropped them off as their backs disappeared across the fog.

To be honest, I have a little anxiety about my grandmother's absence......

But, well, for now, now, I don't have to worry about getting slapped for skipping the letter practice for a while.

Having made a big stretch, I decided to take my time sleeping twice.
