344-338 Future of reincarnated people

When we returned to Yenis and entered the mansion, the masters were already gone and the meeting seemed to be over.

When we spoke to a maid who was nearby, she told us that the masters had gone to the training grounds and the War Maiden Holy Knights were at the vegetable and honey production plant.

I thanked them and proceeded to the basement, and for some reason I found the War Maiden Holy Knights working happily in the production factory.

Among them was Lumina-san, who was raised on the supremacy of the human race, and her prejudice against other races seemed to have been completely wiped away by now.

But what does this mean?　As I was watching the scene with a question on my mind, Hanir-san of the Hatch tribe noticed us and came up to me with a smile.

''Luciel-sama, we've been expecting you.

'Oh, Mr. Hanir. What are those War Maiden Holy Knights working for?

The smile froze and changed to a surprised expression.

'What?　Isn't Master Luciel ordering you to do this?

Normally, it would be strange to have the Church-affiliated War Maiden Holy Knights working in private.

But didn't Hanir-san think so?　And why did I make that mistake?

'I had no idea, but how did you know it was my instruction?'

'That's why I'd like to work at the Luciel Chamber of Commerce until you come back, Luciel. And I've been told that I'm free to act as I please,' so I was told that.

I said it was a free activity, but I didn't think I would work.

It seems like they are in harmony with the employees.

There's no way he's really going to leave the Order at this point....

Huh~ It's depressing to think about it all.

But well, I guess it's a good thing that everyone in the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad is enjoying working on it.

They seemed to be stressed out in the Valley of the Dragon, and as I recall, growing something was supposed to have a detoxifying effect.

'I understand. I'll offer each of them a small bottle of honey. But this is the last time they will be treated as guests.

It's good that these girls, who have lived their lives as holy knights, are interested in something else.

But if it's not made into a form of professional experience only, it's likely to be a problem if it's not done well.

''Are you sure it doesn't have to be a large bottle?

'Yes. Otherwise, it would be hard to show the employees that it's a very valuable ingredient.

That's very nice of you to say. Well, I'll be glad to get a vial for you.

Mr. Hanir, after saying that, he flew to the honey warehouse.

Huh?　Come to think of it, I wonder why Hanir-san, who is supposed to be a member of the family, doesn't notice that there is a water spirit?

'The water spirits, the Hatchites were our family, weren't they?　Why didn't you call out to...?

But when I turned around, the water spirit and the earth spirit had disappeared.

'Luciel, those two would be over there at the Elf's.

I followed Forenoire's gaze as she spoke to me, and she was talking about something with Milfine, who was in charge of the factory.

It must be a blissful time for Milfine, who believes in spirits.

''When... but somehow Milfine seems happy, so let's just go to the workshop.

Yeah.

Thus we visited the workshop on the third basement floor.

I called out to the reincarnations.

"Now then, if you have any excuses, let's hear them.

What are you so angry about, that you've come back all of a sudden?

'You make it sound like we did something...'

....

Hattori and Alice didn't seem to be offended, on the contrary, they had expressions like they didn't even know why they were called.

However, Lyna was the only one who was looking down with a thoughtful expression.

''What's wrong Lyna?''

I'm really sorry for letting the talking golem run amok.

Apparently, the only person who firmly understood his position was Lyna.

''Do you know what caused the outburst?

'Probably because Alice-san set a pattern of behavior, but I couldn't stop it so...'

Okay.

I muttered, and I could see the tension on Hattori and Alice's face.

''Alright. Then I'll destroy that golem, "Luciel sir, I want you to wait, that I want you to wait.

As you might expect, you can't destroy a work of art without seeing it, and there are good reasons for destroying a work you're that passionate about.

Does that mean that you don't have to destroy it if it's good enough?

That's His Excellency Luciel, that I am. I will bring him to you in a moment, that I will.

Alice and Hatri happily made their way to the joint work booth.

However, Lyna's expression was hardened and she didn't want to go get the golem.

''Is it okay for Lyna not to go get the golem?''

''Um........I used quite a few magic stones and materials to make one golem. Am I fired?

He asked the question with a shudder in his body, but if he was on Earth, he would definitely be fired.

He's a reincarnate, so I decided it was dangerous to let him go free, but it bothers me.

'I told you to pull your weight before I left. But you guys broke it. So I'm going to penalize (penalize) each of you if you don't deserve more than your broken promises.

I won't tell you if you're fired.

Is that a penalty?

'I'm taking a pay cut, moving departments, firing people, etc. I'm a reincarnate, so I'm not going to coddle you forever. So Linna should be prepared to bring her golem with her, too.

Yes.

A pale faced Lyna also walked to her own private work booth.

''So, Luciel, what are you going to do with those three?''

I don't know what to do.

I can help you with the memory operations.

I'm afraid of the dark spirits because they really seem to do it.

It looks like Hattori was the first to return, but there's no sign of him coming into the room.

I wonder if he's listening in?　Well, that's okay then.

Well, I think it was a bad idea to put the three of them together this time. So maybe I'll reassign them to different departments so they don't meet.

That's it?

'Yeah. I protected him because he's a reincarnated person, but I don't intend to make him subordinate to you without regard to human rights. Besides, it's much easier to get them to be hostile to you than to stress them out by forcing them to protect you because you are already a reincarnated person.

I don't want you to have to deal with any unnecessary stress.

Yeah. Well, look who's here.

Yeah.

Forêt noir deliberately welcomed the three of them.

The expressions of Hatri and Alice, who were listening to the conversation, were very stiff.

Two of the golems carried by the three of them were of the male type and one of them was of the female type.

If you closed your eyes, all three of them were of the same quality as the ordinary human race, which showed Hatri's extraordinary effort and passion.

With this, it was certainly no wonder that Hattori didn't want to destroy them.

'So that's a talking golem.......activate all three of them.

It's a runaway hazard. I can't activate it, that I can't.

If it's dangerous to activate it, we'll destroy it and you can wait outside.

I understand, that I do. Maihime, this is my farewell to life.

Hattori activates the golem.

'Just give me a week to retrain you.

You have to understand that when you hound your employees and try to get your kids to listen to weird words, you've completely lost all credibility with me.

I'm sorry, Schwartz.

Alice also activates the golem.

'Master Luciel, please assess. Wake up, Sebas.

And Lyna also activated her golem........

As the three golems started to move, Hatri's golem began to talk about how wonderful Hatri was, and Alice's golem began to talk about the logic of Alice's world.

Only Lyna's Sebas was the only one who held back behind Lyna, so he invoked a time stop on Hutri and Alice's golem to stop it.

'Can you initialize the thoughts of those two dolls?'

Hmmm, maybe I can.

Can you do that for me?

Okay.

Even though I knew it was indeed a doll, I didn't want to erase its memories.

But if you don't destroy it, there is no other way but to initialize it, so you have no choice but to initialize it.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you want to do. May I ask you a question, if you don't mind being rude?

Yes. Lady Luciel.

What can you do?

'I'm sorry, but there's nothing much I can do yet,'

'They don't seem like the type to cause any more problems than the other two, but why did they go out of control?

I remember my thoughts being in sync and confused.

Which would you prefer, to lose the memories you have now or to protect the Lord?

'Of course, my Lord Lyna.

I think Sebas is the only one who is pretty decent.

I think it's more than enough of an accomplishment, as long as it doesn't cause a runaway.

'I understand. Then rest up.

Lyna's golem, Sebas, also activated the time stoppage.

Then the dark spirit retrieved the two initialized golems and Sebas into the magic bag and looked at the three incarnations.

I wasn't sure if I should use my intimidation skill to give off an angry aura, but I don't want to because there's too much of a level difference and it's going to be terrible.

'So did you have more fun building golems than being a schoolteacher, being a maid, or drawing new airships?

".........　

''Since you're a reincarnate, you're older than you look now, right?　What should I do with you guys in the future?　Strangers or enemies?

I am on your side, that I am. Of course, Master Luciel is on our side, that he is.

'Isn't Dr. Hattori's master, Mr. Dorster?

I will never do this again, that I won't. So let me continue to teach in Yenis.

If this doesn't work, I really don't know anymore.

'I see. So what are you going to do, Alice?　I can return to the Imperial slavers now, though?

'I won't do it again, so don't really abandon me.

'No, I don't mean to dictate or bind people's hobbies. You can free them from slavery if you want, and live your life as you wish in some city. Life is long, and I don't think your personality can be used here.

'You won't find a safer place to be, anywhere else in the world. I'm going to work properly as a researcher from now on, so don't abandon me.

All right. This is your last chance, as well as Dr. Hattori's. If you're going to do something, please ask me if it's really okay to do it. Well, you're a reincarnated person, so I'm sure you can make that kind of decision.

Yes, sir.

If this doesn't work, I'll give up on Alice.

'Well, Lyna, tell me how you made the golem.

Yes. Actually--

To sum it up briefly, Nanya was gone, and I wanted someone to support me in my work.

So I was about to improve the golem I had seen in Lyna's shop earlier, when Hatri and Alice showed up.

Hattori listened to Lyna's wishes and began to build an appearance and created Sebas, which could only look like a human.

Then Alice, who had been researching synthetic beasts and demonization, taught Lyna a system that allowed the golem, which could only speak one way, to interact.

When she was assembling the technology, she seemed to have transcribed Alice's thought pattern into a magic stone, thinking that it would be more convenient to be able to talk to it from the beginning.

The magic stone is a dark attribute, and the spirit of darkness followed up by saying that the transcription wasn't that difficult.

It seems that they made two golems as a thank you for that later on.

''I see. I understand, I'll give Sebas back to you as is. However, if Sebas goes out of control, I will destroy it at that point, right?

Thank you.

Well, I've left Nanya in the Valley of the Dragon, too.

Keep up the good work.

Yes, sir.　

Lyna looks very happy to know that she won't be fired and that Sebas will be returned to her.

Hattori and Alice looked at her with envy.

''They're two golems, but I'll keep them in my magic bag, I don't know how much, but you can buy them for half the regular price.

"Thank you.

The two of them were happy, but Lyna's small muttered words seemed to be heard only by me.

''Still, it's five white silver coins.''

After solving the problem in this way, I joined up with the War Maiden Holy Knight Squad working in the basement second floor, and we moved as a group to the Holy City.
