Chapter 62: One More Step Before Flight
I was in my golem in a cloud of smoke tilting my head.
?n~~, I really did it this time…?
It was great that I was able to fly from my house in this golem…but I only flew for a few seconds before I crashed.
I thought it needed more precise control so I sat inside it, but even so I wasn’t able to fly well.
For my own protection, I made this golem especially thick and sturdy.
Even though we fell, there was only external damage and I was safe inside it.
So, though it’s good that I was able to fall from such a height and be alright…
…I think I crushed something when I fell.
?I heard people’s voices…this might be bad.?
I muttered as I took a tentative peep at my golem’s feet when,
?A-aren’t you Big Boss Daichi? Why did you fall from the sky!??
?Huh? you guys are…..those adventurers right??
The skinhead guys that I’d met before were all standing around.
?Hyahha!………I am indebted to you!! You really saved me! I would’ve been reinjured badly by those guys!?
Then he pointed at the two boars underneath my golem that had been half buried.
After taking the force of that fall they were both completely knocked out.
Actually, I made a big crater in the ground.
It hit them so hard that their bodies were buried halfway into the ground.
?…..This body…is pretty heavy.?
I made it more and more sturdy as I remodeled it…the result was this heavyweight body.
Maybe that’s the reason I couldn’t fly well.
The next time I experiment, I should lighten the load.
Either that, or I could increase the number of boosters. Instead of just having them on my legs, I could put them in the back as well.
?Boss??
?Ah it’s nothing. Didn’t you guys go back to the Fort City??
They were adventurers from there so I thought they’d already left.
But those guys shook their heads and pointed towards Prussia.
?Hyahha, for now we’re working in this city.?
?There’s a request??
?Well, there is the fact that they’re short of people…but there’s good food, drink, and lots of cute girls! Furthermore, there’s good quality equipment to be bought. There’s lots of reasons to stay.?
They said while grinning.
It seems like they quite like this town.
?Hyahha, Boss really saved us. For now we should report the completion of this request, please accept the reward for the quest later!?
?Hm? Quest Reward??
?Hyahha, for those Fafnir.?
Oh these passed out fellas huh?
It was a subjugation quest. Well this is all well and good but,
?All I did was fall from the sky, the reward is yours?
?? But those are guys that you beat Boss??
?That’s just a coincidence. I won’t rob you of the reward for your hard work. Just take it with you.?
I reactivated the golem and had it stand.
I gave the two boars to the shining head guys and they accepted emotionally.
?Hya, hyahha! Thank you very much! B-but is this really alright??
?Alright or not, this is normal.?
?Th-then we will take it with gratitude…I’d like to repay this debt, before long we will bring you some good sake!?
?Ok, I got it.?
?And with that, we’ll set off. Hyahha! We’re heading back guys!?
?Y-Yeah!?
Leaving behind those parting words, the shining head guys went back to town.
I was left alone gazing at the boosters on my golem’s legs.
?Fumu, when I get back I’ll add a few more boosters and lighten the weight. Should I remove the moisture…maybe reduce the size…?
For now there’s quite a few things I can try.
I can already fly in the air for a few seconds.
….it won’t be long before I’m able to fly with the greatest of ease.
I’m looking forward to it.
