Chapter 33

I want to avoid phenomena that exceed my imagination from the morning.

When I woke up, the wooden boards had moved on their own.

Someone praise me for not screaming.

I was scared.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't just one but several boards that had moved.

The stack of boards was lower than it was yesterday.

Cursed... are there ghosts too?

What, really?

Ghosts are no good!

I want to sleep again, but it's impossible.

Reluctantly, I tried to get up quietly.

……

"...Stone figures"

The ghost theory was wrong.

That's a relief.

But the mysterious scene in front of me.

The boards weren't moving on their own; stone figures made from rocks were carrying them.

Yes, the stone figures I made last night.

I ended up making them in a human shape while manipulating the rocks.

They are about 60 cm tall.

I managed to make one successfully, so I got carried away and made 10.

For fun, I gave them one eye like a one-eyed goblin.

That part emits a faint light.

When they're not moving, it's not noticeable, but the large glowing eye on the face is surreal.

Currently, 9 of them are lifting and moving the boards to build the floor.

Wow, no gaps, it's beautiful, and it's fast.

The cores seemed to be awake and were watching the stone figures closely.

When they noticed I was awake, all their gazes turned to me.

I quietly averted my eyes, I don't know anything!

Meanwhile, the room's floor was being built silently by the stone figures.

What, really, why are they moving?

I picked up the one that wasn't moving.

I remember, I made one yesterday...

Since it turned out as I imagined, I got carried away and made the next one.

At that time, I vaguely remembered an old picture book.

A picture book about a cobbler where fairies secretly helped make shoes at night...

I vaguely remembered that picture book and thought I wanted those fairies.

The floor-making was taking longer than I thought.

I also thought a helper robot would be nice.

While imagining, I made 9 of them.

I thought, if the floor was completed while I was sleeping.

I said something like that before going to bed...?

Could it be that they started moving because of that? ...Really?

One of them isn't moving because I was too focused on making them and didn't imagine them moving.

Or, did I really create moving figures with that image?

...Well, I can't think of anything else.

"...Stop work, gather"

I didn't expect them to gather.

9 of them lined up neatly.

Surreal, yet... charming.

The one I was holding in my hand.

I imagined a helper robot and said, "Move."

When I put it on the floor,

it stood up and lined up next to the other 9.

...It moved... it can move.

"Thank you for your work"

……

Out of the 10, how many are fairies and how many are helper robots?
