43 Lesson 43

"We were asked by the Alliance to pick up the nucleus of the Golem in the southern mountains. So I came to rely on Geisel, hoping to have a carriage as a leg on the road."

Geisel gets a distressingly harsh look as soon as he hears an explanation of Atal.

"Of course I have no problem lending you a carriage. It doesn't matter in case the carriage breaks or the horse dies. Thank you both for all your help… is it just the nucleus of the golem"

Apparently, it was about the golem that was bothering Geisel.

"Is that so hard? I think you've seen what Caro and I are capable of..."

Geisel was grinning bitterly as he bowed his head to tackle Atal's words, which he didn't think would worry him so much.

"Of course I know what you two are capable of. Golem, you two will hardly ever lose to your opponents. But it's not just about knocking them down, it can be pretty tough when it comes to targeting the nucleus."

Because it is an important part of fulfilling the request, Atar unwittingly embarks on the task.

"What do you mean?

Speaking of which, Geisel nodded one and then spoke out, remembering that Atal was unknown to common sense.

"Yes, the golem has a nasty ability to regenerate along with a hard body. If it's about the degree of scratch on it with the sword, it blocks it immediately, and even if you drop your arm, your arm should regenerate after a while if the nucleus is safe. In other words, the nucleus is the heart of the golem…"

Golem's ability to do so seems to be so famous that even if he's not an adventurer, he gets a harsh look that maybe the Atar who heard it isn't as easy a request as he thought.

"Uh, I see... the nucleus is a weakness, but you're saying we can't break that on this request"

I understood why Geisel was worried about the Atals when he had to take them home without breaking their weaknesses.

"Oh, uh, okay?

I raise my hand there in such a way that Caro is afraid.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Caro?

Atal, who solved the difficult look, turned to listen to Caro.

"Um, it's a golem... I think I can probably figure it out"

Atal and Geisel are surprised at what they have just said with confidence, and it's time to stare at Caro. Confused by that gaze, she kept talking.

"Uh, it's a golem, but it does make it weak there because the nucleus is grasping the regenerative capability, but it seems that the magic tube connected from the nucleus is letting that regenerative capability go, so I was wondering if it's the exit of that tube or if I should crush it..."

I heard Caro's opinion. Geisel can't say it's a good idea. I drop my shoulder disappointed by it.

"Mr. Caro, I just think that's tough. That's the divine way..."

What she said was that she would be asked for precision, like threading through a moving little needle hole, to attack further into the body of a stiff golem. But even as Geisel pointed it out, Caro was confident.

"I think Master Atal can do it."

It wasn't just blind trust, it was a word for judging that we could look at Atal's abilities. Unlike his usual respectful and hot gaze, Atar slightly opened his eyes to a serious and strong willed eye.

"I see..."

And I aligned my abilities with this operation and understood what Caro was trying to say.

"... maybe I can. No, rather, how are they going to get one other than me?

Atal snapped. That was a natural question.

There are no two weapons in this world that are identical to Atal, so I don't think we can do the same thing. That was Atal's idea.

"Other methods seem to be to attack with a degree of firepower that doesn't destroy the nucleus, pulling it forcefully where it collapses the rock it's covering and unplugs the nucleus"

"So if the attack is too strong, you're going to destroy the nucleus, and if you're weak, you can't outperform your regenerative abilities... that's a troublesome enemy"

Caro and Geisel nod at Atal's words that he was convinced.

"But now you're going to figure it out. You feel like you've come to see the light.... it's time for them to leave, so let's head there soon."

Geisel rushes to stop it as Atal rises with a neat look and Caro continues to be happy with what his plan went through.

"Oh, so soon? At least wait till Kyle gets back..."

"Um, I just want to...... sorry after all, this request is the best reward for the party that competed with the other parties to take the most nukes. So I want to leave right away"

I had some thoughts about Geisel's words being taken care of this time about the carriage, but Atal nevertheless decides to prioritize the request.

"Really...... then we'll talk again when we come to return the carriage. I hope Kyle will be there by then."

Then I thought it would be bad to hold back. Geisel gently cheered and pulled the spot off.

"I'm sorry, but I just need you to show me where the carriage is."

"Oh, I was. Excuse me, this way."

Guided by Geisel, who stood up as he panicked, he passed through the mansion and headed to the backyard.

The backyard we reached had a reasonably sized stables and the carriage body was also in a cabin nearby.

"I'll take care of you for a while. Please."

Once inside the stables, Eustace, who previously traveled with him, looked up. Ataru, who approached Eustace, spoke and stroked his head he approached him with joy.

"Ha ha, looks like Eustace is totally nostalgic too"

Throughout his journey on escort duty, Atar, who liked Eustace, was out buying his own bait and brushing, so he was close to nature.

"Sorry about that, but I'm gonna borrow it for a while with the carriage."

"Yes, please take your time as we have no plans to ride in the carriage for a while"

Geisel says so, handily attaching the carriage to Eustace. If you're a regular nobleman, you can't do it to make your servant do it, but Geisel, who always does it, was a very familiar gesture.

"... I guess I'm the same adventurer that makes nobles do this"

Watching it Atal remembered the steps so he could do it himself. Even though he knew it wouldn't be possible to think normally, Geisel didn't look distracted.

"Ha, right. Well, I guess I'm more of a problem in this case than Mr. Atal..."

Geisel, the idea that someone who could do it, shrugged in a bitter laugh and mockery when he finished installing the carriage.

"Well, it's true you're helping, isn't it? Looks like we're ready, Caro."

Atal called out to Caro, who was in contact with Eustace nearby, even as he let his cheeks clasp at the grin. Previously, Caro had been taught by Geisel how to maneuver, so he urged her to come to your station.

"Ha! Thank you so much, Mr. Geisel. We'll take care of Eustace and the carriage!

I smile at Caro, who smiled and thanked him before boarding, so that Geisel, with his dusty chest warming, can also be attached.

"So, both of you, have a safe trip."

In the wake of words from gentle Geisel, Atal and Caro began to drive their carriages towards the southern mountains.
