Chapter 603: She Has the Best Techniques in the World (2/2)

Well, there are lots of things I’d like to tsukkomi about…… but it’s times like this where you should wear that stuffed costume of yours, idiot!

[……Errr, Aoi-chan, is this fine?]

[……Well, I’m fine as long as it’s destroyed, so I don’t really mind if it’s Phantasmal King-sama……]

[I thought Aoi-senpai’s new golem is already foul play…… but I guess Kaito-senpai is still the most amazing one huh.]

Well, if Aoi-chan is fine with this…… However, I have a feeling that there’s something hidden with Alice’s appearance here.

As if to affirm my thoughts, Alice handed me a piece of paper with something written on it. Errr, let’s see……

< Alice-chan Sword One Copper Coin >

< Alice-chan Punch One Silver Coin >

< Alice-chan Kick One Gold Coin >

< 5-Unit Combination: Great Alice-chan Robo One White Gold Coin >

I’m really curious about that last one! Robo, this should be those mecha robots, right? Moreover, 5-Unit Combination…… No matter how I think of it, this is straight out of a man’s dreams.

To be honest, I really want to see it volting in but…… let alone the training space, I don’t think I can guarantee the safety of Lilia-san’s mansion, so I’ll stop.

So that leaves me with the three other options…… Why is the Sword option the cheapest? Is it like that? That fantasy-like setting where if someone is apparently as strong as Alice, it’s stronger if they just hit them directly rather than using a lousy weapon?

Well, never mind…… For the time being, let’s pick the Sword option.

After making my choice, I put a copper coin in Alice’s hand. Then, out of nowhere, Alice took out a sheet of paper and started rolling it up to a cylinder.

She just freaking took out the sword kids use in their samurai games.

[……ALICE-CHAN SWOOOOOOORD!]

With her strike, Aoi-chan’s High-Density Golem…… was “cleaved in half”. The way she called it is a joke, but it seems like even with a paper, she still held outstanding power.

W- Well, with this, I’ve fulfilled Aoi-chan’s request. However, hmmm…… There doesn’t seem to be any change in the golem after it was cut by Alice.

[……A- Arehh? It’s not reforming yet…… Did I make a mistake in the magic formula?]

Aoi-chan’s golem apparently had a regeneration function built into it, but it doesn’t seem to be working properly?

[I’ve added the “Null: Regeneration” option to my slash just now so———- Ouch!?]

[……You really are……]

It’s not because Aoi-chan made a mistake in her magic formula, but because of that unnecessary option Alice added to her attack.

[……Well, it looks like you got textbook technique right, so I’m sure it would be fine. Its regeneration speed would be quite slow with this magic formula though, so whether it will be useful in actual battle is another matter……]

[I- I see…… I guess Phantasmal King-sama is also skillful at making golems?]

[Hmmm, well, I certainly can make one…… like this.]

[ ! ? ]

In front of Aoi-chan, who had her interest greatly drawn, Alice nonchalantly pointed her hand at the ground. Then, a small magic circle appeared at the ground and a magnificent earthen bird-shaped golem appeared, flapping its wings and flying through the air.

Seeing what Alice did, Aoi-chan’s eyes widened in astonishment.

[A- Amazing…… P- Phantasmal King-sama! I- It’s fine if it’s just a bit. Can you teach me golem techniques?]

[Don’t wanna. I don’t have enough time to waste on random people.]

An incredibly fast and powerful refusal. Could it be that? Would it be better if I asked her to do it?

Just as I was about to speak to Alice, thinking that I would ask her for Aoi-chan’s sake, Alice spoke something I hadn’t expected.

[I mean, if it’s about golems, “it would be better if you ask Kuro-san” rather than me, you know?]

[……Unnn? Kuro?]

[Yes, after all, Kuro is someone who had created a “self-aware golem that’s capable of growing 20,000 years ago”…… Well, technically speaking, she is considered a magic doll, so she might be slightly different from normal golems.]

[……Ahh.]

Hearing Alice’s words reminded me of something. I’m talking about Zwei-san’s statement regarding how she’s a magic doll and that “her body was given to her by Kuro”……

Dear Mom, Dad————– I see, thinking about it again, there were quite a few hints showing something like that. If Kuro is the one who created Zwei-san, then in regards to creating golems—————– Kuro has the best techniques in the world.
