I was in a long time alchemist with three students, Crawla.

The goal is to be able to create a golem for the students alone.

"Eh, should we raise the temperature a little more in this case?

"Right, let's get some more air and give it about twenty more degrees"

Tel, who showed a bit of a single scale of talent, is becoming proficient in operating an alchemy furnace larger than his back length. There are countless meters and levers, dials, etc. in an alchemy furnace shaped like a stove, but they were accurately checked and manipulated. Sounds like you barely need my advice either.

From the distiller installed at the top of the alchemy furnace, a blue and white glowing liquid accumulates in the beaker through a glass tube. This is the Water Element.

……

It is Daya who pours the elements thus extracted into another beaker with stone powder. Pour in some more spirits (ethers) that look like golden gas, and mix them together with a glass stick. The three kinds of raw materials gradually degenerate into even thin, glowing grey mucus. Golem ingredients, 'Living Stone (Livingston)'.

There's nothing to say about it if it only works, but if it's cluttered, it creates an unknown substance other than a living stone (Livingston). Daya is growing up to be an alchemist.

"I hope it works out"

Crawla held a beaker filled with living stones (Livingston). As it is, pour the glowing mucus into a large funnel-shaped instrument installed on the floor of the workshop. It passes through a pipe from a funnel and accumulates in a mould for the production of golems underground.

This is also the idea of the students, to save them the hassle of deliberately carrying them underground.

Confirming that the work of the Ters was fine, I headed to the corner of the workshop. It's an old desk I brought in, and the log is eager to write.

"How's it going?

"Gee, I think I'm getting used to it"

What the log was writing on parchment was a program that hit the 'heart' of a moving stone statue (stone golem). The stone statue (Stonegolem) moves by implanting paper describing basic lines of action and contraindications, such as "Submit to the Lord who uttered the command word with Geo Margils" or "Do not attack man", into the cast living stone (Livingston).

The characters used are in themselves the language of this normal world (Sedia), but the grammar and composition are unique, and just not that a sentence should be written. So he was encouraged to master it.

By the way, when Golem I first made it, I used dragon skin paper, but the cost is just too high, so I substitute it with parchment paper.

Peeping over the shoulder of Gatai's good log, I pounded that shoulder.

"That's good. I think this will stand up to practical use."

"Yay!

Log poked his fist up small. He also originally had difficulty reading and writing everyday. Though that's what Torrad taught me, it's a big deal to be able to create a program of complex golem control.

... When he's a little older, I'd like to show him his, their golem of making a scene to kick the devil in.

"All right, listen up while you take a break"

A few moments later I clapped my hands and gathered everyone together.

"You've all improved considerably. I've seen the template below, but the living stone (Livingston) is accumulating well. Keep working like this, and you'll be finished first by implanting the program."

"Wow!"

"That's a long way to go..."

It did take me a while. At last, however, until 90% of the process required to create a moving stone statue (stone golem), I was able to confirm what was possible without me.

"Uh, excuse me, Doctor. I have a question."

"What is it, Ter?"

"It's called improvement. When extracting elements in an alchemy furnace or mixing elements with spiritual elements and stones to make living stones, I think I've been doing the same for a long time. But before, I couldn't successfully extract only the elements of water, or it turned out to be something else, not living stone. How can the results change when we do it the same way?

"... that's a good question"

I've been figuring it out lately, but Ter is really smart. In other words, the thinking is scientific. Actually, that's why (...) he was slow to master alchemy among the three of us.

"If we do the same work under the same conditions, we will have the same result. This is the basis of science. But alchemy is not science. Even if we do the same thing, the results change depending on the knowledge and emotions of the person who does it (...). That's not what alchemy is all about, that's what it's all about."

It is only a story of 'alchemy' set by me and Yagi. It is the logic that the spiritual element will still be stronger in order to produce effects similar to those of 'magic', which deals with the energy of chaos drawn from the depths of human consciousness.

"In short, it would be nice to assume that you can."

"Oh, yeah."

A few more minutes later.

We were in the basement of the alchemist's house, in front of a stone coffin lined with many. It is a template for moving stone statues (stone golems).

The template lid was opened, and there lay a stone statue inside imitating a knight in full body armor. The stone statue is a giant two or five meters long. However, the surface waves like a jellyfish, indicating that it is a mass of living stone (Livingston).

"... I, Daya, give my heart to the living stone (Livingston) and will not be reborn into a faithful and tough moving stone statue (Stonegolem)"

Daya usually sweated on her cool face and still cast a firm spell. Then he drops the parchment on his hand onto the head of the stone statue.

……

The surface of the stone statue gradually hardened as we sipped and watched. This is going to work.

"b, log"

"Ooh... Get up, Godder!

A log elbowed by a tel shouts the name and command words of a moving stone statue (stone golem). Daya was gripping his sleeve all the time.

"What do you think!?"

Crawla, who backed down a little and lined up with me, was also harassed. It's like a father and brother visit... but I'm actually nervous too.

Gacon!

"Ah!"

The stone statue lying in the sarcophagus, Godder made the sound of a rock crashing into him and slowly began to rise. The students, me and Crawla accidentally hold a sweat in their hands.

"Godder, stand up!

"Stand up, Godder!

Gaggo.

Godder was finally firmly upright, as encouraged by the voices of Daya and Crawla.

"Yay! Yay!"

"Log, Daya! We made the golem!

The three boys and girls held each other in tears and cheered. Me and Crawla stroke down their chests watching it.

"As I said earlier... it's been a long time."

"Oh, it's been a long time since I took them away,"

"No."

"Hmm?"

I was a little surprised to see Crawla's blue eyes at close range for the first time in a long time. Because her eyes were moist too.

"It's been a long time since I treated them as candidates for sorcery."

"... right"

I remember meeting them at Lellis' Sorcerer's Guild and I snorted, too. At that time, Crawler also admitted to the inhumane existence of a sorcerer as a necessary evil to fight the dark.

"Thank you, Doctor!

"Thank you too, Crawler!

"... thanks"

Log lowered his head deeply, and Ter looked up at Crawler and smiled. Daya is hugging around Crawla's waist and burying her face.

"You guys...... no. No, no, no. I am."

"The Crawler has always taught us how to write and meditate, too!

"I learned so much about lending you important books too!

To the bewildered crawler, the students spare no thanks glance and words. I guess Crawla's been taking good care of them to be Crawler, too.

I was beginning to think about the future as I dusted Daya's blonde hair into a slightly clumsy look of a crawler.

Now I have the idea of making the golem just for the students or just for the crawler. Except that's inside this alchemist. Because there is only one alchemy furnace, and I'm still the only one who can extract the psychogen (ether).

Well, the immediate goal is to deploy the Golem to multiple entities, to the Good Civil Army and to each of the cities of the Lius Alliance. That will be left to the students.

After that, we'll just have to get a little more time on the promise to transfer the golem making technology to Relis' Mage Guild. I mean, I've been starting to think lately that a hundred-percent magician's guild golem should have a system that I can't make...

"Godder! Hundred Legs Slashed!

Gogagagagaz gaaaaaaaaa

"Godder!?"

"What are you doing!?"

Godder, who tried to force him to execute the 'Special Attack' that was in Log's own program, was flourishing into the stone floor.
