Chapter 170: 1001 Golems – Part 3

Chapter 170: 1001 Golems – Part 3

Urmeie doesn't feel like doing the mana circulation, so she goes out to find the Punishers and train with them, and since we don't invite The Four, we have a quiet moment to ourselves on the balcony of our dining room. Hana convinces Caterina to join us, and the milfy warrior is more receptive to an activity that doesn't give Hana the opportunity to molest her.

Now that I've learned [Sense Presence], I have a short-range radar telling me someone's "ID," a nebulous concept that makes as little sense as the "structures" inside a soul. But anyway, I recognize Hukarere coming into the room, and her footsteps tell me she's wearing armor, so she must be on duty, which means that she has something important to tell us.

I open my eyes and turn to my white wolf before she says anything, which mildly surprises her. I love her naked body, but she also looks really hot in full armor, so it's a pity that it's rather impractical to fuck while wearing armor as it doesn't have a cock-hole... at least not yet.

"Madam Lily wishes to enter the room," she politely states.

I snort at her usage of the "Madam" honorific. Lily would hate hearing such an "old woman" title being used to refer to her.

So, of course, I suggest that she does it again on purpose, "Make sure you say 'Madam Lily' to her; it'll annoy her. But yes, let her in."

Hukarere breaks character to snort, then salutes and returns to being serious again as she leaves. A moment later, Lily walks in, and her sour face tells me my white wolf correctly followed my instructions.

"I'll receive her," Yunia volunteers telepathically, feeling sadistic and masochistic at the same time, and the rest of us pretend to be too concentrated on our training to look at her, though I am quite busy as the golems use my body to create more "proximity fuses."

The tall, stunningly gorgeous beauty gets up and approaches the sharp and wary brown loli. Yunia's high heels clack loudly against the floor, contrasting with Lily's quiet and cute little sandals. Then the two stop before each other, and their height difference triggers my lesbian fetishes.

"Good morning, Madam Lily," Yunia coolly greets.

The loli quickly scans the Queen's half-naked body, but her eyes linger on the pair of perfectly shaped breasts. "Just Lily. Honorifics sound silly to me," Lily finally replies as she looks Yunia in the eye, but that only lasts for a second, as the elven beauty crosses her arms, alluringly bunching up her barely covered and perfectly shaped breasts.

No, seriously, Yunia's tits are amazing.

This also has the side-benefit of drawing Lily's gaze towards Yunia's perfectly painted nails, only deepening the subtle envy that the loli has regarding the gorgeous Queen.

"You'd be taken more seriously if you behaved as befit your station," the golden beauty impassively states, too busy grinning internally to act haughty as she loves being worshiped by me.

"Uh... what?" Lily breaks out of her breast-and-nail envy.

And Yunia's stare becomes intense as the right corner of her lips subtly curls into a smirk. "Only children don't have honorifics."

The bitter loli sighs and glances at me, forcing me to hide my shit-eating grin. "Call me 'Miss Lily' then because 'Madam' is for nobility."

It'd be too mean to continue bantering, so Yunia backs off and assumes a polite demeanor again. "Very well. Good morning, Miss Lily."

"Good morning... Lord Yulania," Lily begrudgingly replies in kind.

But Yunia has to give one last barb before she's satisfied. "Not incorrect, but 'Your Highness' or 'Queen Yulania' would garner more respect from our men."

Lily reflexively glances at the Companion by the wall, who's currently doing her best impression of a statue. We don't actually ask them to be this still and silent; it's just that she wants to intimidate Lily a bit because she really doesn't have much respect for the loli. The Companions heard most of the whining from The Four, after all.

This "orc leather" dwarf isn't so easily intimidated, so she just casually hums, sounding, at most, slightly annoyed, "Noted, but I just came here for a casual chat. I also wanted to see what Wolf was doing with the golems."

Yunia kindly hums back, then curiously asks, "Make yourself comfortable, then. But why aren't you doing your circulation training?"

And the loli frowns. "Well, the teens are being shitheads and whining about how boring it is, so I thought things would be more silent over here. I didn't expect absolute silence, though."

I take this moment to explain to the girls what "teen" means, and Alissa, Lina, and Yunia dislike being referred to that way.

"We have telepathy," the Queen tersely explains.

But this makes Lily suspicious. "So you're saying everyone can hear us, and they're just pretending to ignore me?"

"Yes," she unashamedly admits, but she doesn't even grace Lily with a cheeky grin as she's more of a deadpan person.

"You guys really have a talent for making someone feel welcome," the rough leather of a woman replies in kind, not even fazed by this level of banter.

"I have too much fun messing with you," I break character to not make Caterina feel awkward at the harsh bantering going on as she isn't used to this.

"I have too much fun lambasting your ass," the angry loli angrily bites back.

And I chuckle with a suggesting grin. "Phrasing. Some people here like to get their asses lambasted."

But she immediately goes for the deflection, "Yeah, yeah, whatever, I'm not talking dirty with you. I want to see you create a golem."

I shrug. "Prepare to be disappointed. How it looks doesn't do justice to how crazy it really is."

"Just do it," she hurries me.

And I smirk. "Don't let your dreams be me-..."

Alissa forces me to cast [Infuse], which shuts me up in the physical world as I'm thrown into the soul-molding VR interface.

"What a curious spell..." Caterina hums as she intensely observes me.

Lily turns to the Punisher and raises an eyebrow. "Are you also part of the harem? I thought you were just protecting them."

Who categorically replies, "I was chosen to protect the Ryders because of my closeness to them, yes." And this makes Hana grin from ear to ear, though Caterina does her best to not look at her easily-excitable younger lover, seemingly acting bashful, though she hides it perfectly.

"Huh..." Lily hums, and she doesn't really want to talk about harems, so she just turns back to me. "So that's it? He freezes, and his hand glows?"

"The mana that he's exuding is quite odd, though," Caterina states, her curiosity only growing.

And the dwarf shrugs. "I'm not that good with [Sense Mana]."

Now that they've gotten a good look at me, I just finish the soul-molding as there aren't any changes I want to make since I'm just mass-producing the proximity fuse golems. I come back to reality and touch the detonator, a little stick of wood with a bit of Draconic Climax on it to trigger the explosion.

Then I promptly give Lily some banter, "How high is your 'Int'? Don't tell me you aren't just roleplaying as a barbarian dwarf."

"Higher than yours, you cock-brain," she reflexively ripostes, puzzled about how I heard her because she forgot about our telepathy.

"I doubt it," I dismissively reply. Then I grab the detonator and show it to them. "But anyway, this is it. This is now a golem that will commit suicide if it gets too close to a monster."

But Lily is skeptical. "Isn't that too small to kill anything?"

Which forces me to suppress my instinct to mock her as that'd be too mean, but a bit of snark still escapes me. "This is a detonator, not a bomb or a cannon shell. It triggers the bomb or shell."

She rolls her eyes. "Alright, nerd. But how many of these are you going to make?"

I shrug. "How many monsters are there in the swarm?"

She mimics my shrug mockingly. "No idea."

I shrug again and chuckle. "Same."

And she groans as she realizes how much work this will be. "Fuck, you're going to stay here all day."

But she's underestimating my preparedness. "Oh, no. I'll be doing this for three days straight, and I'm just starting."

"Nuh-uh," I stubbornly deny.

"Guh geh gih-gih!" she stubbornly insists.

"Nuuh-uuh," I double-stubbornly deny.

And she gives up. "Gih!"

So I let out one last haughty grunt and stop the silliness, "Hmph... But seriously, I don't have any other strategies, so we might as well end here. Without a physical body, things become too static, as it's much harder to push past my limits."

"Hmph. Gih," she gracefully concedes.

And so, I spend most of my afternoon with Gify, trying to find fun things to do together. I take a look at the training going on in the yard, and I feel the fires of sadism starting to burn within the hearts of the girls, so today's training is particularly harsh.

I was never one to put too much effort into physical training, but at least I've got my research and magic to compensate for that. The teens and even Samkelo don't have that, so they've got no high ground to complain about putting in some effort for once in their lives. I mean, we are about to carry out a very dangerous operation, and no matter how OP they feel, I don't want to risk the lives of my men and my girls to save their asses in case the shit hits the [Wind Storm].

So I watch them with a suitable amount of sadism.

"You know what? Just watching is kinda fun, too," I remark to Gify as I pat her back with my cloth stub of a hand.

"Gih..." she chirps suggestively, and her beak warps into a smirk.

But I'm ready for this one, "Sex jokes don't work if they come from you because of how non-sexual you are."

She flashes me a glare. "Gih!"

And I shrug. "You gotta suck me off a few times before I'll feel anything."

"Gih," she haughtily declines and turns her feathery head away but remains in place so that I can continue to pat her.

After that, I start to get really bored, so I have Jarn jerk off my real body while I reflect upon [Golemancy].
