Kawaranu Mono <Kirameki no Gōremu>- Chapter 50

 Episode 50 - A Long Conversation with the Young Lady

 

I am a golem.

I found a spot in the forest where the light shone through the trees and sat down gently. Don't tell anyone that I used a little line light to kick up the branches of the trees so that I could get a good amount of natural light.

The lady and her maids woke up. Then they looked at me. I guess the morning sun was just reflecting off of my face, so they turned away. Oh my god, they were supposed to look at my sparkling metal body and say, “Wow, you look great.”

 

Things never go as planned. It is precisely because we are unstoppable that we can say we are alive.

 

When I was wondering what they were going to do for breakfast, the maids took out emergency food like a pack of calorie mates. I wondered where they got it from, but it seemed that the aprons of the maids were magical aprons. They took out a kettle from the pocket of the apron, filled it with water using water magic, and started to boil water by lighting the branches of the trees they had collected with fire magic.

 

What a surprise! I thought they were just dumb maids, but they seem to be the maids who can do their job. One of the maids asked me if I wanted some, but I couldn't eat it, so I declined.

 

I was wondering what we were going to do with our current situation, and then the lady started to explain to us.

 

As the prince had said, this is the continent known as the end of the world. It seems that the forests around here are still shallow, and the creatures that live here can be dealt with by the young lady if they are alone, but if they come together like the monkeys did yesterday, it's impossible. If We managed to find the river and headed for the coast. And by following the coast, we hoped to reach the port town.

 

I was wondering if there was a port town even though it was called the end of the world, and the lady guessed that there was. Apparently, adventurers often come here because some of the demon materials and ores that can be extracted from this continent are very valuable. I see. It's like a town that you can come to after the last dungeon. After all, it seems that this young lady was quite a talented girl.

 

So, here I am, walking in the forest, looking for the river. But it's not easy to find one. The monkeys and snakes that occasionally pounce on us, I just slap them away. I don't know what to do.

 

It's just a walk in the woods, but the lady and her maids are getting pretty tired. It can't be helped, they are humans. The lady is encouraging the maids as they go along. The maids are doing their best, but it seems to be hard. I think we should take a rest before the sun goes down.

 

I suggested to the lady and the maids that it was time for us to get some rest, and we decided to call it a day. It was now night. The maids must be very tired. They were sleeping peacefully.

 

The young lady spoke to me as we sat around the bonfire.

 

“Silver Golem, the day I entered the school dormitory, I saw you for the first time. I was surprised that you got into the elevator without permission and then even entered my room without permission. I remember that you took a look around the room, bowed, and left. After you left, I asked Erza and Shushua, those two maids, if they could see you, but they could not. At first I thought it was a phantom that only I could see.”

 

Uh, Oh. After all, the young lady could see me from the beginning. It's really uncomfortable, like I'm being exposed for the bad things I've done in the past.

 

“But when I saw you coming in at the end of the row on the day of the entrance ceremony, I came to believe that you were not an illusion. I had no idea what this golem was trying to do.”

 

Well, if you could see me so well, you should have called out to me. What is this? I'm super embarrassed.

 

“You were also following us to the demon hunting exercise camp. At night, I saw you unnoticed driving away a King Black Tiger that would have caused a lot of damage if we had to deal with it alone.”

 

What, Really?! Did the lady notice the black tiger too? I was completely unaware of it. I'm in total shock, young lady! You're no ordinary young lady!

 

{Log: The effect of the [Enlightened One] has resolved the state of agitation}

“And I remembered the story I heard from my mother and sister before.”

 

Mother and sister? I don't know many people in this world. Who are they?

 

“I was told that when my mother and sister's cruise ship was attacked by pirates and they thought they were doomed, a silver doll attacked the pirates, killing many of them and sinking the ship easily. I was told that the doll was so satisfied with killing the pirates that it was not interested in my mother and left, so they were saved.”

 

Oh my, I had guessed that the girl with the vertical rolls at that time was the young lady's sister. I guess vertical rolls are a sign of nobility. I'm sure that as a noble, vertical rolls are a hairstyle that cannot be overlooked.

 

“My sister was terrified and so was my mother, but when I heard the story, I thought that the doll had appeared to save the cruise ship from the pirates. But I also remember wondering if such a doll really existed. When I saw you getting rid of King Black Panther, I was able to convince myself that you really were real.”

 

I knew I had traumatized the vertical roll girl, I'm sorry. But I don't have any regrets about killing the pirates because they were going to attack someone else if I let them live.

 

“On behalf of my mother and sister, I want to say thank you. Thank you so much. Thanks to you, I can still see my mother and sister.”

 

I nodded my head respectfully. I feel shy when I am being thanked again.

“After that, I began to follow you around, wondering what you were doing at the school. I also watched your behavior from time to time when Mesrard made a mess on her desk and in her shoe box and you would clean it up. I had no idea what you were doing it for.”

 

Well, you wouldn't think it was just a hobby of mine, would you? As for Icchako, it's completely because of my competitive spirit. You can't possibly understand that. At first, it was out of my kindness that I wanted to make it less unpleasant for the children who were being bullied, but I changed my policy when I found out that she was framing someone else.

 

“And thank you so much for chasing after us and coming to our aid after the prince transported us away this time.”

 

The young lady straightened up and bowed deeply. I watched the situation carefully.

 

“We would have been killed by those monkeys if we were alone. I still have things to do, so I can't die yet. I'm sorry for my unreasonable request, but could you please help us by staying with us a little longer?”

 

The young lady looks me in the eye. I nodded slowly to show my approval. The lady looked at me and said, “Thank you,” and went to sleep.

 

I look at this young lady and think. This young lady has really high qualifications. Seriously, when I was a human, would I have been so strong at her age? I wonder if it was her position that made her this strong, or if it was because of being a young lady that made her this strong, or both.

I thought quietly as I gazed into the flames of the bonfire, that I would watch how the young lady would go about her business for a little while.

 

--Two days later.

 

We walked through the forest, but didn't come across a river. I wondered if there was a river. I start to worry. The maids and even the young lady can't hide their stress.

 

Huh!? Shouldn’t I just ask the spirits!?

 

I've been so careless. Don't worry, don't worry. Occasionally, the spirits would come up to me and say hello.

 

So I asked the spirits. Suddenly, I started to gesture to the spirit, and the lady and the maids looked at me like, eh, what? Maybe they are tired, they do not have that big of a reaction.

 

Where is the river? I asked with a gesture. It was hard to get the message across. I continued to ask desperately. The troubled spirit asked for help from the spirits around him. Do you know what a river is? It's a place where water flows. I gestured, but it was difficult to get the message across. It's difficult.

 

After about 20 minutes of communicating with the spirits, I was surprised to find that an enormous amount of spirits had somehow gathered around me. I was astonished.

 

The young lady and maids are resting in the shade of a nearby tree, but they are surprised to see me surrounded by spirits. They must be able to see the spirits because the spirits are also struggling to decipher my gestures, having somehow broken free from their invisibility skill.

 

In the midst of all this, one of the spirits appeals to me as if to say, “I understand, follow me.” I nodded my head and gestured for the lady and the maids to follow me.

 

The place we were led to was not a river. I wondered what this meant. It was a big tree. The trunk was huge and sturdy. It had no fruit, but there were beautiful flowers blooming everywhere. The spirits that had been leading me were all heading towards the big tree at once.

 

What? Wait a minute! The river. I want to go to the river!

What the hell? I've been fooled! My feelings were not conveyed to the spirits at all. I was in a gloomy mood. But the lady and the maids seem to appreciate it.

 

“What a magnificent tree! I've never seen a tree like it.”

“Yes, I can feel a very warm power coming from this tree.”

“It also makes me feel a little less tired.”

 

What do you mean? Is it really true? From the looks of their expressions, they are not lying, nor do they seem to be concerned about me. I don't understand, but they seem to really feel that way.

 

When I heard Erza, the elf-like maid, say, “Maybe this is where the spirits live.” I remembered my mabudachi.

 

That's right, when in doubt, talk to your mabudachi!
