Kuishinbo Elf - CH 67

Hobby Golems vs Wiggle Lad

「Then, shall we actually issue an order now? For the most part, the golems only listen to the order of their creator.」

Pururu ordered Ishizuka to walk. When she did, Ishizuka started to walk slowly.

「How is it? Isn’t it easy?」

“Ooh!” A voice of admiration leaked from both Riot and I.

What a good child, doing what it was told to do.

「Alright… walk!」

Riot gave Tsutsuou his order. However, Tsutsuou simply yawned and went to sleep.

「………」

「As expected of a lion… it chose freedom.」

「Is its intelligence too low? This… could the cause be Riot’s magical power being too low?」

… Isn’t it because it is a cat? It is quite warm today… so Tsutsuou is basking in the sun.

Riot is probably feeling quite down as he is sending me glances to give Museru an order.

「Museru! Dash! !」

*Gasha*! Following the sound, Museru glided at an incredible speed. Even though I went as far as imagining how it would move, it ended as something else. And then, it hit a bump on the ground and ended up tumbling over…

*Crash*!

Museru ended up crashing into Healer Association’s wall.

「Aah! ? Museru~!」

I quickly went towards where Museru’s side. Kyu! Kyu! Kyu! When I picked up Museru who had fallen… I saw that his chest portion had caved in a bit.

「If you don’t order it to stop, it won’t stop on its own, you know?」

「*Sob* *sob*… sorry Museru.」

Museru looked a little pitiful. It’s brand new body is now damaged.

「Aah, well something of that level is fine even if you leave it.」

「I’m bothered by it, Museru looks painful… can it be fixed by Heal?」

「It isn’t living so it’s probably not possible.」

Even if it’s not living… there is a soul in it, so wouldn’t it work? Thinking that, I tried using Heal on Museru as a test.

「… It’s regenerating?」

「Really? 」

「Seriously! ?」

“You’re going to be the one that’s the most surprised?” was what Riot retorted. It can’t be helped, right? Normally… it is unheard of for Heal to work on inorganic matters. Is the soul and Heal somewhat connected?

「However, compared to a normal Heal… it is more tiring.」

「Heal might’ve been used in a strange way… it might be best if you don’t use it much.」

Anyways, Museru is now healed back to its original beautiful body. Museru appears to be happy.

On the other hand… Riot and Tsutsuou are having a comical-like exchange.

「Shishiou! Lie down!」

Tsutsuou flipped over and showed its stomach.

「Shishiou! Run!」

This time, Tsutsuou lied down.

「Guoooooo! ? Whyyyyyyyyyyy! ?」

Nya~n! Cried Tsutsuou. You’re going to cry? Or rather, you really are a cat! !

「Ohh? It’s a type with a cry. It is a fine pet model golem.」

「I made it for the sake of fighting! !」

「It doesn’t listen to Riot all… is it in its rebellious phase?」

Riot looks slightly tired. It seems that he has his hands full with Tsutsuou.

「It is unheard of for someone to enter a rebellious phase just after being born… 」

Riot used his finger and poked at Tsutsuou.

「Nya~n」

Tsutsuou then proceeds to nibble on Riot’s finger.

… It’s as if their parent and child.

「By the way… what do we do about these guy’s food?」

I asked Pururu the question that I’ve been wondering about. Even golems can’t fight on an empty stomach! Was what I think.

「Nn? Aah, its fine if you give it magical power on a regular basis. If it runs out of magical power, it will automatically switch to idle mode and stop moving.」

Pururu put her hand onto Ishizuka and pour magical power into it. After receiving some magical power, Ishizuka began to walk vigorously.

「Ishizuka’s fuel efficiency is quite bad. It’s a stone golem so it can’t be helped… huh.」

Hoho… so magical power is its food. Then, I’ll imagined my magical power to taste like Miranda-san’s omelette rice… and send it to Museru. If there is some kind of taste, Museru will probably be happier.

I sent Museru the magical power that I imagined to taste like Miranda-san’s omelette rice.

… Museru joyfully raised its arms into the sky.

I’m glad, it seems that he liked it.

Riot is also providing magical power, but… Tsutsuou is just eating dirt and basking in the sun.

「Hmm… Riot, that child can produce energy on its own. It is the specialty of an Earth Golem. It absorbs energy from the earth.」

For Riot who has low magical power, he got the perfect golem. Isn’t it great, Riot?

「Eh~, I want to give it magical power like everyone else!」

「Waa~, Rai… is a fine doting parent?」

「Nfufu… It can’t be helped, it is his first golem. I was also like that, you know?」

Pururu said that with a slightly sad expression. Did something happen?

「Well then… you guys now roughly understand how golems work. Now let’s use them for their original purpose.」

Right, these golems were made in order to prevent Wiggle Lad… that is now riding on my shoulder, from approaching Peachy-sensei’s sprout.

「Alright! It’s Museru’s debut fight!」

I have a feeling that Museru’s face had become tense.

「Ishizuka, cooperate with Museru and everyone else.」

Ishizuka replied by raising its two arms in anticipation.

「Shishiou! Let’s show them the spirit of a lion!」

Tsutsuou replied with a yawn.

Riot got a troublesome child. However, a folly child… is cute. Do your best, Riot!

We thoroughly taught the golems… regarding Wiggle Lad and Peachy-sensei’s sprout. Whether the golems understood or not… we can roughly tell. After all… they’re like our children made from our magical power!

「Then, let’s actually have that caterpinon move towards Peachy-sensei.

…Aah, it is Wiggle Lad… wasn’t it? My bad.」

Oou, it had such a fine name? However, I’ll call you Wiggle Lad!

I carefully lowered the Wiggle Lad that is on my shoulder onto the ground.

Wiggle Lad looked at Peachy-sensei’s sprout and… with a determined expression he headed towards it.

Wiggle wiggle wiggle…

「Now! A real battle! Ishizuka! Hold Wiggle Lad down! !」

*Noshi* *Noshi* Ishizuka headed towards Wiggle Lad with heavy steps.

However…

Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle…

Noshi noshi…

Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle…

Noshi…

In a matter of moments, it was surpassed by Wiggle Lad.

「…He doesn’t have enough speed. 」

Ishizuka, fail!

「Rai! Now that it had come to this, we’ll rely on our own golems!」

「Ok! Leave it to me! Go! Shishiou!」

…Ahh! ? Tsutsuou-kun, curled up and went to sleep! ?

「Shishiouuuuuuuuu! ?」

Dad, you have it tough…

However, with this we now know that Museru is the only one that is useful. You’re the only reliable one, Museru!

「Museru! Please! Obstruct Wiggle Lad!」

Museru entered his battle position while spinning around his scope. It boldly stood in front of Wiggle Lad’s way.

Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle…

Wiggle Lad charged in!

And then, Museru… used the gimmick that was in its arm…

Eea! ? An Arm Punch! ? Wiggle Lad will explode into many pieces!

「Mu… Museru!」

Aah! ? The Arm Punch! ?

Wiggle wiggle wiggle… Kyu! Kyukyu!

*Bun*! … *Suka*!

Wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle…

Wh… what! ? It dodged it by ducking! ?

This Wiggle Lad… isn’t an ordinary caterpillar!

Wiggle wiggle wiggle… *stop*.

The golems’ strenuous effort resulting in nothing and Wiggle Lad… had arrived at Peachy-sensei’s sprout.

「Aah! ? We weren’t able to protect it, Peachy-sensei’s sprout.」

How could this be, is it our fault for not being able to protect it? Or is it that Wiggle Lad was more skilled… ?

*Nibble* *Nibble*…

Wiggle Lad chewed on Peachy-sensei’s leaves deliciously.

「Uu… Sorry, sensei.」

I lemented my powerless self and fell down.

Hecho. (へちょ。an unknown sfx)

「Oh my~, we were splendidly defeated… it is unexpectedly tough? This Wiggle Lad… ?」

「… Sorry, my child wasn’t able to contribute.」

… I know.

Eventually, when sensei’s leaves were gone, Wiggle Lad bowed towards the now leave-less sensei.

At that moment… a mysterious thing happened!

From sensei’s sprout that no longer had any leaves… new leaves grew from it!

「…This is」

「Aa…」

「The golems, were pointless 」

*Doshaaaaaa…*

The three of us, collapsed at the same time.

… What the hell.

In the end, Wiggle Lad wasn’t even an enemy in front of Peachy-sensei’s overwhelming tolerance. Or rather… it’s more like a “You’re welcome” situation.

Once again, I’m reminded of Peachy-sensei’s greatness.
