Chapter 62

It had been a while since I had lounged in the sun in the garden.

"You seem really relaxed, dear."

"Why not, Hestia? It's been a long time since I could spend the whole day like this, just relaxing."

Thinking about it, I feel like I've been moving too much lately.

Occasionally, it's nice to just bask in the sunlight without thinking about anything.

"...So, what are you doing, Hestia?"

Next to me, Hestia was sorting through a pile of magic stones.

"Separating the ones that can be used for staves from the ones that can't."

"Is there a difference?"

"Yes. Larger ones can store more magic power, making them easier to use. Smaller ones are better for disposable use. So, small magic stones are often used as propellants for magic bullets and such."

"Hmm, you know that kind of thing?"

"Well, when it comes to weapons, I know a thing or two. Also, in the past, I used to play with a lot of disposable magic stones, like using them to launch human projectiles, so I'm quite familiar with them."

"Was that really just for fun?"

"Sometimes, I'd use them on wyverns that were afraid of the sky and couldn't fly. By using them as propellants, I could force them to fly. It's like they become full-fledged flyers once they can fly."

It's kind of like reverse bungee, but on a different scale.

"This time, there were a lot. If you want to fly, you can fly a lot. Do you want to try?"

"No, I'll pass. I prefer relaxing in the sun like this over testing my courage with such games."

"Hmm... even though you're beating up the monsters around here, you can still relax, right?"

As Hestia said, I was using golems to repel the monsters gathering in the garden. But it's just routine work. I don't have to put much effort into it; I can do it while lying down.

"Hmm, some pretty strong ones are coming. ...Ah, they just flew away."

In addition to the golems I control, there are autonomous golems that automatically repel enemies. So, it's incredibly easy to take care of them.

"Yeah, this relaxed feeling is great..."

Just as I was thinking that,

"Eh... wait, I just thought I'd try coming in through the back door. I didn't do anything, okay?!"

"Huh? I hear some strange voices."

"Wait, golem! I'm not armed, see? So, ah, don't take off my equipment. This armor is no good, stop it!"

I saw a scene of the succubus princess getting intimate with an autonomous golem.

"...What is she doing?"

If she had come from the usual direction, she wouldn't have triggered the golem's sensors. Why did she come from the north side of my house?

Anyway, as long as she doesn't show any hostility, the golems are set to just disarm her.

That's why she's being stripped of her clothes.

"Shouldn't we stop her?"

"Ah... yeah. Let me relax a bit more, and then I'll stop them."

There are still monsters around, and it's a hassle to stop the autonomous golems.

"Okay, I think they'll all be gone in a few minutes."

"Got it. Then, after that."

"Wait, someone! I mean, Daichi-sama!? H-help—!!"

After the monsters were all defeated, I stopped the autonomous golems.

Dianeia was half-crying and stripped, but her important clothes were still on, and she was unharmed, so it's fine.

"Alright, I understand. I'll stop them in a few minutes."

"Okay, I'll wait."

"Wait, someone! Daichi-sama! H-help—!!"

After the monsters were all gone, I stopped the autonomous golems.

Dianeia was half-crying and stripped, but her important clothes were still on, and she was unharmed, so it's fine.
