Volume 2 - Chapter 1 – GLIDER GOLEM (1/2)
Before you know it, a new year begins in this world, and Jin was unaware of it.
「… I’ve had enough」
Day after day, all Jin ate were fruits and nuts.
「Aah… I want to eat cooked rice. Bread would be fine too」
Of course he would have enough of eating, he missed his former diet.
「Is there somewhere I can buy wheat?」
「If that’s the case, we can cultivate a field on this island, Father」
For Jin’s mutter, Reiko proposed.
「Well there’s that. We can buy the seeds, but the fields need to be prepared」
「Yes. For that, what if we left it to the Golem Maids Topaz and Aqua?」
「Topaz has an earth attribute and Aqua has a water attribute. That sounds like a good idea」
Jin nodded in agreement. Reiko,
「Well then, they will need Golems to work for them」
「Aa, right. I guess I’ll make them」
So it was decided that he would make 5 subordinate Golems for the Golem Maids, Aqua and Topaz. Jin decided the specs together with Reiko.
「Without 《Magic Skin》, they won’t need clothes」
「Un, that’s right. Instead, we’ll plate the surface with 《Light Silver》 to change their colours」
「Ha?」
Jin then explained to Reiko. 《Light Silver》 is an isotope of titanium, and by adjusting the thickness of the oxide film on the surface of titanium, the colour can vary.[1]
This is knowledge Jin obtained from working in a factory (metal related) on modern Earth.
「Okay, I understand now. As expected of Father」
He immediately started making the Golems. The basic form is the same as the Golem Maids. Though the structure was fairly simplified. The control system was particular. For now they had an autonomous intelligence and were adjusted to listen to not just each maid who were their superior, but Jin and Reiko on top of that.
「I’ll make the body, so Father, please take care of the 《Ether Converter》, 《Mana Drive》, and core」
「Alright, I’m on it」
They proceeded with sharing their work, Reiko doing the simple work while Jin did the key complex work. 2 days later, 5 Golems for each, with 10 of them in total were completed.
「I think we should assign each Golem Maid with a role」
Agreeing with Reiko’s suggestion, Jin,
「Alright then. Topaz for land development. Aqua for water control. Peridot for housework. Ruby and Amezu for the island’s defense, how is that?」
「I think that is fine」
「Okay then, Topaz, Aqua, Peridot, Ruby, Amezu. I’ve made subordinates for you. Please continue to work hard in the future. As for the subordinate Golems, I leave them to you」
「Very well, Goshujin-sama」
「We look forward to working with you」
The 5 Golem Maids bowed to Jin, and the subordinate Golems first bowed to Jin, then bowed to the maid bosses. Topaz and Aqua went outside of the Laboratory, and Peridot looked around each room. Ruby and Amezu also went outside, together with the subordinates.
Then Reiko,
「Father, there are still two left, what are they?」
asked, seeing the body of two Golems that had yet to activate.
「Aa, these are subordinates for Reiko. From now on, Reiko will be busy with various things, so I made you subordinates」
「My subordinates…?」
「Aa. They should have the same performance as the Golem Maids. But their appearance is different」
Right, the bodies of the two Golems still lying down were petite, being about the same size as Reiko.
「I want to link them to Reiko before we activate them. How about it?」
「They are something Father kindly made while thinking about me, therefore I have no objections」
She says that with a somewhat happy look. Seeing that, Jin felt relieved. He had wondered 『Did I do something unnecessary?』 and how to persuade her if something was said about it.
「I see, then come over here… 《Mana Linkage》… okay it’s done, 『Activate』!」
The bodies of the two Golems got up. 1 body was gold, the other was silver.
「Nice to meet you, Father, Onee-sama」
The Golems made their greetings. Of course the Onee-sama thing is about Reiko.
「Yes, nice to meet you… Father, what are their names?」
「Unn… let’s see… since they are Reiko’s subordinates, how about Reiko names them?」
Reiko thought for a while when told that,
