At the outskirt of Conrad town.

[[Skill: Golem Maker – Hippo-kun]]

Kazane hit a stone in the side of river bed that was even taller than herself and activated her skill. Then after receiving magic power from Kazane’s hand, the stone break with clattering sounds and once more becoming united in the form of an imitation of a four legged animal.

“Oooohh!!!”

Then upon seeing the stone horse that was created, Yumika raised a surprised voice.

“Kukuku, this is the true power of a golem maker.”

Leaving alone Kazane who muttered something while raising her hands to the sky, Yumika looks closely at the horse shaped golem.

“This is pretty good.” Hearing that Kazane also reply in a lively tone.

“That’s because inside the golem I set the setting of durability and mobility to its limit. So it can run with almost the same speed as a real horse.”

(I see. This is the reason why she was grinning huh)

After getting golem maker skill Kazane's tension seems strangely high, Yumika even try to put some distance from her, but with this she can understand.

“How long will this last? If I’m not mistaken the one you created at the mountain broke after the battle is over?”

“Even if I don’t replenish its magic power, Hippo-kun can last for 4 hours. If I continue to supply it with magic power it will last semi-permanently. On the other side though, since it has low endurance it will break from monster attack with one hit.”

Golem maker is as the word dictated a skill to create golems. Shape, durability, lasting time, can be adjusted and changed so that it can be used in various ways.

“After I test it, it’s really a magnificent view. Kukuku”

(Again with that weird laugh)

“Not only normal golem, horse shaped one or knight shaped, only its hand or after it has been dispelled we can also use it as simple cottage, and many more usages.”

“Isn’t it too perfect? I didn’t know there was a skill like this.”

“You can only learn it after the middle stage, and it’s limited by occupation. Well, the time you able to learn it to use it only as tent is wasteful, and there are also various ways of transportation already, so basically this is a dead skill.”

“Ah…I see.”

(Certainly, since I rode Silky I won’t use this skill)

By the way Silky is the name of Yumika’s favourite giant horn rabbit used for travelling that Yumika purchased when it was a game.

“But having this skill for a second play is super convenient you see.”

Even while saying that Kazane's face crooked into a sloven smile.

She’s completely hyper. A stupid hyper chara is here… Yumika thought while looking at Kazane in front of her.

While continuing to be hyper, creating more golems and thinking of setting her own original golem, Kazane pestered Yumika with ‘How is it? How is it?’, against that Kazane, Yumika asks.

“Then what will we do today? Since I think you won’t even stop until night, I think I’ll just return?”

“Uuhh… I’ll stop. I want to hunt monsters.”

“Oh, I see. Then you have created this horse so we can ride on it right?”

“Yup. That’s right. With Hippo-kun and my [[Dog’s sense of smells]] we can search and hunt moderate amount of monsters.”

“Roger. Then, let’s go. It’s almost noon.”

*Kwon Grassland*

“Yosh, H

After leaving Conrad Town, Kwon grassland spread out. Here marshland is scarce. And in the middle of the grassland a stone horse runs with two girls on its back.

(It’s more stable than I thought. I guess because the control is effective?)

Yumika has experienced riding horse before, but the sensations from riding this stone horse still better than she imagined. Even Kazane who sits in front is also in a good mood, and it even makes Yumika thought ‘who is this cheerful kid’.

“Ugh, strange smells found!”

“The number?”

Since Yumika already understand Kazane’s skill [[Dog’s sense of smells]] she skip the unnecessary questions and asks in a more direct way.

“I think it’s a raider dog corpse. Around it there are three presences. Since they has a different smell than raider dogs or horned rabbits, I think it’s chiruchiruhi.”

“Ah, that monster.”

Yumika answers with a disgusted face.

“What to do? I think it’s still possible to avoid it right now.”

That said, to avoid it just because they dislike it is not a good thing, thought Yumika. There’s a saying, when in Rome do as Romans do. If they’re being picky, sooner or later they might suffer something terrible.

“No, I think it’s better to fight and accumulate experience, let’s fight.”

“Then, let’s get off.”

With a thud Kazane and Yumika go down and stand in the grassland.

“What to do with Hippo-kun?”

“As long it doesn’t show any reaction and didn’t get involved with our fight, the monsters won’t attack it. So it’s better to leave it as it is.”

“I see.”

If it’s a real horse then it’s possible to be eaten by monsters or being stolen by someone. Not only we don’t have to worry about that, even if it’s destroyed I can make it once again. It’s really convenient, thought Yumika.

(Eh? But is Hippo-kun—no, golem can be created here?)

There’s a doubt in her heart, but seeing Kazane who had walked indifferently, Yumika throws that doubt away and follows her.

Actually it’s possible to create golem here in this place. However only clay golem (clay doll). If they ride that, they’ll be covered in mud, that’s why it’s not recommended.

***

Chiruchiruhi.

From its name it’s hard to imagine but actually it’s a giant earthworm type monster. The origin of its name is unclear, but from some rumour, it might be because of its movement. Ah I read it at the bulletin board a long time ago…Yumika remembered.

“It’s here”

Hearing Kazane voice, Yumika snapped out from reminiscing and returns to reality.

“Geehh..”

In front Yumika, three feelers are meandering.

“They’re in the middle of eating raider dogs…it seems.” Kazane also grimaced.

(As I thought even Kazane is not good with this)

But as the enemies are still focussing on eating, this is also a chance.

“Yumika, I will target the right one, I’ll leave the left one to you.”

Kazane makes her decision quickly and gives instructions toward Yumika. They don’t know when will the chiruchiruhi finish their meal. That’s why they need to quickly launch a surprise attack.

“Understood. What to do with the third?”

“First come first served.”

After Yumika nods, both of them dashed at the same time.

“Skill: Charge!!”

Kazane activated the skill she got from horned rabbits while running. It increase the physical abilities by removing limiter for a period of time.

(Yosh)

Kazane speeds up as if she is a single flash of light, and with that speed she successfully cuts the core in one stroke, leaving no room for the chiruchiruhi to act.

Core.

Just like stone golem’s stone cores, all monsters had core inside them. Or, more precisely all creatures that has a core are classified as monsters.

Chiruchiruhi's core exist just a little bit below their head, and with their transparent body it is relatively easy to target it. And Kazane destroyed that core in an instant, ending its life.

The two others had late reaction towards that surprise attack, and while they’re being preoccupied with Kazane, another person easily got closer.

“Iyaaa!!”

Together with a scream, there’s a flash. Without mercy that one blow destroys the chiruchiru’s core, even piercing the one behind it.

“Tsk.” Yumika clicks her tongue. As expected even if she’s able to target the second one successfully it didn’t pass through. Though that’s not a big problem.

Yumika move the spear as it is, turns the edge of the blade to the position of the core and destroys it.

After the battle.

“Uwaahh, that’s amazing Yumika. You can kill two at the same time…”

“Uh, yeah. Kazane was also amazing, that was charge isn't it? I can’t catch up at all…”

To obtain the materials from chiruchiru, they need to cut open their body, take the small amount of magic clay, divide and put it into the pouch.

That and they also have to pick the three heads designated to prove monsters subjugation request and save it—they pinch it with their fingers and throw it to the item box.

Also from the eaten raider dogs they gather its pelt (since chiruchiru can enter its prey's body from its mouth and suck up their meat, the damage in its skin was scarce), with this they can also received subjugation reward.

That series of work were done with teary eyes, to distract themselves from the processes they praise each other, though nothing really enter their ears.

That said, their words are not lies. Originally their performance is good enough—almost unbelievable for newbie adventurers.

By the way when they return and present the chiruchiruhi head, Pran said “Are you guys really girls? If it’s me I won’t do it even if it kill me.” And received shock. It seems even in other world disgusting things are disgusting.
