146-Episode 146: Princess Adventurer Debut!

'Master Aydra, the golem is complete!

'What? Already?

The golem Aydra-sama requested was completed, so I came to deliver it as soon as possible.

By the way, Gyro-kun is staying at a town near the Land of Corrosion.

I haven't finished assessing the demon materials I asked the Adventurer's Guild in that town.

They asked me to wait for a while because the amount is too large and they don't have enough people to do it.

That's why I came to deliver the golem I had been working on while I was waiting, by myself.

''Well, I think it's only been a few days since I asked for it...?

I came suddenly, and Aydra-sama rolled her eyes at me in a posture of holding Fluffy Fluffy in her arms.

Oh, I thought I hadn't seen you lately, but you were in a place like this.

I thought he was going around getting food from the neighbors.

"Gupuuuu.

Have they been feeding him something really good?

We'll have to get her on a diet later.

Oh, no, no, no, no. For now, we have to deal with Aydra-sama first.

''It won't take long if it's not a battle golem for decisive battles or one that's completely disguised as a human, but a golem that only looks like a human.

"A battle...? Um, I don't know, but that's how it works, isn't it?

'Yes! However, the only thing I have completed is the golem for the ninja. I will have the golem for a substitute to use this golem, and I plan to carefully adjust it to suit Aydra-sama's usage.

It's like a dress fitting. Yeah, I see.

As expected from being educated as royalty, Aydra-sama is very perceptive.

It seems that she understood my intentions right away.

It's because the balance of a golem that has a different appearance from its user's body is sometimes different from its original body.

Most people don't care much about it, but there are some people who are nervous about the slightest difference between their body and their body size.

And since Aydra-sama is royalty, you should pay the utmost attention to that area.

But it's so elegant to compare the adjustment of the golem to the temporary stitching of a dress.

I take the golem out of the magic bag.

''This is my golem........''

The golem I took out has been changed to a golden hair color and appearance so that it won't be associated with Aydra-sama.

If I changed her physical age too much, it would interfere with her activities outside, so I made her look a little older.

'It's great! That way no one will know I'm out there!

I'm glad to hear that you like the look of the golem.

By the way, in a previous life, this golem was sometimes used as a face to face meeting for noblemen who were engaged to be married.

Why did I use it for such a thing?

For example, when the engagement is arranged with a nobleman from a distant land, but it takes time to get there because he lives so far away.

In such cases, I would carry the golem to the site and meet the person instead.

........Well, apart from that kind of usage, in the worst case, I'd sometimes make a golem that was so beautified that I couldn't believe it was me, pretend to be me, and have it meet me.

The nobleman I knew in my previous life who was done that was tricked! I don't remember screaming.

Yeah, the aristocratic world is scary.

''And this is Aydra-sama's exclusive golem controller.

I hold out the equipment that controls the golem to Aydra-sama.

''Oh, compared to the one you used the other day, the design is much different.

As Aydra-sama said, the golem's controller was made thinner, lighter and thinner than the previous one, and was further decorated to look like an accessory.

The plate shaped crystal plate that reflects the golem's vision has been changed to an arc-shaped shape, and when not in use, it can be shifted upwards to be used like a tiara.

''If you lower this crystal plate after wearing it on your head, the magic power will synchronize and the golem will begin to move. Basically, the golem moves just as Aydra-sama thinks it should, so Aydra-sama herself doesn't have to move.

This area is an application of remote tracking magic.

''Uh, just think........''

The golem in front of me begins to move as the crystal plate is lowered and Aydra-sama begins to control it.

''It's moving!''

Would you excuse me?

I touch Aydra-sama's golem's arm.

''...Huh?''

Then Aydra-sama trembled and raised the crystal plate up to look at his arm.

''Did you just touch my arm?''

No, it was the golem's arm that I touched.

'What? But now...

This golem is designed to be able to feel the five senses just like a human being. So when you touch a golem that's activated like this, Aydra-sama can feel those sensations as well.

"Golems are amazing...

It was the first time Aydra-sama had ever experienced a golem, and everything about the golem was unusual, and when she resumed control, she enjoyed touching it everywhere and feeling it.

''Then let's get out of there, shall we?

'What?　Are you sure?!

No, no, no, that's what the golem is for.

'We need to train the golem to operate, too. Is there anywhere you'd like to go?

Where I want to go...

Yes. Anywhere is fine.

When I asked him where he wanted to go, Master Aydra thought for a moment before answering.

''Lex-san, there's a place I'd like to go!

You're not going to be able to do that.

'Great! I'm outside King's Landing!

We had come to the forest around the King's Landing in response to Idra-sama's request.

But we didn't come to the forest just because we wanted to go there.

I'm going to start my adventure as an adventurer, aren't I?

Yes, we had come to the forest to fulfill our request as adventurers.

The reason why this happened is because of Lady Aydra's wishes.

After that, Lady Aydra said to me.

"Lex-san, I want to become an adventurer and have an adventure!

I was surprised by her unexpected request, but when I heard why she wanted to be an adventurer, I understood.

''.........Megri's, I wanted to imitate her. How did that girl, who unlike me was allowed to go outside, feel about becoming an adventurer? And I wondered how she felt about adventuring.

That's right, Aydra-sama, the princess, can't go out freely due to her position.

But Megri-san, the shadow warrior with the same face, can go out freely.

It's not surprising that he or she might have thoughts about that fact.

'And she looked like she was having a lot of fun!　It's not fair!　I'd love to be an adventurer and have an adventure too!　No!　You have to!

Hmmm, doesn't seem like a very dark feeling.

Huh?　Didn't the examiner test me like he did when I became an adventurer?

Yeah, I wasn't sure what to do about that either, but the guild's receptionist helped me with that.

Anything....

Don't worry. It's rare that the sons of noblemen who dress up as the "common people" want to play adventurers. If you are willing to be their guardian, I will give you special permission to do so.

Is it rare or common?

I mean, I feel like I was putting a lot of effort into the part about it being common...

Well, I guess I shouldn't think too much about it.

Anyway, that's why Aydra-sama was able to become an adventurer.

So let the adventure begin!

Aydra-sama can't hide her excitement and rush me.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. You will need to be careful because there is a danger of demons attacking on the way, Aydra-sama.

I know!　And you have the right weapons!

With that said, Aydra-sama pulled out the sword from her waist and held it up to the heavens.

By the way, the equipment she's wearing now is something I made a long time ago.

The current Aydra-sama doesn't have any money.

''Oh, and you can call me Dora.

What?

'My name. In this form, I'll call myself Dora.

Ah, I didn't know what was going on when you said it so abruptly, but it's a fake name for the golem, I see.

It's true that if we were to call Aydra-sama in this form by her name, people would know that this golem was Aydra-sama's burglar golem.

"I understand, Dora-sama.

'No respect, Lex. I'm just a commoner dora.

All right, Dora, all right.

Honestly, Idra-sama's behavior is too sophisticated and doesn't look very much like the behavior of a commoner.

''Then let's resume our adventure!

You're not going to be able to do that.

Dora I have some more herbs over there, Dora.

All right!

As I enter the forest, I show Aydra-sama where the medicinal herbs are located while keeping an eye on my surroundings.

"Huh, I didn't know there were so many medicinal herbs. I thought they were more precious than that.

''The herbs used for expensive potions are indeed valuable, but the herbs used for lower-grade potions are rather common.

I see.

When I tell her about the types of potions, Lady Aydra is so impressed that she inadvertently reverts to her original ladylike tone.

It's hard when you try to speak in a different tone of voice, isn't it?

But it's a bit of a shrug.

Shrug?

What was the complaint?

Yes, adventurers are supposed to fight demons, right?　But we haven't encountered a single demon.

Ah yes, that's because I'm completely aware of the location of the demons around me with my exploration magic.

I've been moving to a place where the demons aren't present so as not to interfere with Aydra-sama's herb collection, right?

But that wouldn't make Aydra-sama feel any better, would it?

Well, I understand that feeling.

It's true that a new adventurer would like to fight goblins at least once.

Yeah, let's go to the weaker demons in the exploration magic response then.

'Dora, let's move to a different location.

Yeah, I get it!

Now, then, let's make your debut as a glorified princess!

You're not going to be able to do that.

"Gore!

"Aah!　What's that?

What we encountered was a goblin.

I'm not going to be able to get to the bottom of it.

I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you.

'That's a goblin, isn't it?'

"Oh, that's the goblin...

Lady Aydra seems to be sitting up at the sight of the goblin for the first time.

''Dora, that golem is set up to transmit the five senses, but hardly any pain, so it's safe to be attacked!

Yeah, right. This body is a golem.

Aydra-sama turned to face the goblin and held up her sword.

'Moffff you shouldn't touch the basics, but if it comes down to it, you have to protect Aydra-sama.

I sneak behind me and instruct Fluffy.

Even though I have the body of a sturdy golem, the experience of being attacked by a demon would still leave a scar on my mind.

'Kyupu.'

The mofo mofo beats his heart to the punch, telling him to leave it to it.

'Alright! I'm ready!

Then Aydra-sama got fired up and headed towards the goblins.

''Goaaaah!''

CAAHH!

But the goblin's screams frightened me and I came back easily.

Hmmm, a princess.

'Lex, she's so scary!　Do Meghri's always fighting those horrible demons?

Uh, well...

This was troubling. Aydra-sama is really like a princess who's been purely cultured, and although she's not very good, she's not going to be able to fight a goblin.

This isn't much of an adventure.

''Alright, in this situation, it's the last thing we need!

What do you have in mind?

'Yeah, palm to the goblin first.

Is this how it's done?

Master Idra turns his palm to the goblin as I instructed.

'Then say this. Flame Inferno!

Huh, Flame Inferno!

In the next moment, a raging fire gushed out of Aydra-sama's hand and engulfed the goblin.

''What?!''

The flames not only engulfed the goblins, but also the trees in the vicinity.

''Oops, Cocute Spiller!

I immediately use my ice magic to extinguish the fire to prevent it from spreading.

''Re, Lex ... what the hell was that?　Wow, wow, what amazing flames came out of my hand?

Aydra-sama, who had defeated the goblins, looks puzzled and asks me what the flames are now.

'It's an offensive magic item that I planted for self-defense in case of an emergency. When you cast a key word, it activates an attack magic of decent power in a small area.

Yeah, so-so?　With this?

Well, it's not a pure battle golem. It's not a problem if it's for self-defense. Oh, if you want to make it stronger, I'll adjust it later, okay?

'No, thank you!　I'll keep it that way!　That's enough!　You don't have to make it any harder than it already is!

Aydra-sama is so humble that this level of power is enough.

I didn't deliberately plant strong magic because it was before the fine tuning, but it's normal for a nobleman to ask for more powerful magic to be bang on later.

''Is that how much Aydra-sama is being raised correctly as a noble?

'What?　What did you say?

No, whatever. What's more?　How does it feel to take down a demon for the first time?

'What?　Ah!

What I said made Aydra-sama look back to where the goblin had been standing earlier.

''........honestly.''

Yes.

I don't feel like I've beaten you at all.

.........well, the goblin surrounded by fire turned to dust in an instant, you know.

There's no corpse, so it's understandable that you don't feel like you've defeated them.

It's a good thing that the magic you've prepared is overpowered when dealing with a mere goblin.

Hmmm........oh, that's right!

And that's where I get a good idea.

'What's up, Lex?'

'Yeah, if goblins aren't enough for you, then let's go somewhere with stronger demons!

"...what?　More powerful demons...?

''There are places where this golem's performance would make for a good fight.

'Well, I just... I didn't mean to...'

It's called the Corroded Earth!

Yeah, since it's a good time, let's get Aydra-sama to meet everyone and join us in slaying demons!
