Episode 266. α (15)
Work flowed again.
【Northeast 16 Lower Floor
Subdue the Nervous Breakdown Sorcerer (Priority 2/Instant Execution)
It seems that one of the upper class residents seduced and then betrayed him in order to gain the sorcerer’s private property.
The scammer who started the incident is currently in a critical condition.
The sorcerer side is causing a ruckus by saying that they will kill all of the perpetrators and make them feel the pain of being left alone in the world. 60% of the residents at the end of the city are dead, so a quick resolution is required before the massacre progresses any further.
【West 11th floor
Contract related fraud (priority 3/free action)
Door-to-door sales fraud targeting ordinary people is on the rise.
They trick you into thinking they’re offering you a good item at a very cheap price, but when the deal actually takes place, they throw in a Braille contract with a total of 42,000 characters. Since this magical contract has an unfair curse engraved on it, if you end the deal by declaring “I agree to all of the above,” you’ll end up having your vital organs mortgaged.
Originally, curse magic was limited to specific targets that the caster detested, but the wizards who appeared this time seem to have realized the materialization of curses on the condition of consent.
Until now, the scope of these scammers’ activities has been limited to the upper layers, but recently they have come down to the middle layer and expanded their business, so intervention at the level of a magic boss is necessary before the damage becomes too great.
【East 09 Total water area
Wanted (Priority 1/Capture)
Name ●●● Volume 1320 Eyes 5 Tentacles 8 Blue Yellow
A robber escaped from the Eastern Palace with a first-class magic book.
Top priority is to suppress this information before it spreads to the public.
At the same time, since he is a rare unique magic owner, he must be brought in alive for analysis.】
【(South)Southwest 663 Upper floor
Announcement (no priority / ignore data)
A research laboratory inside an iceberg in the Southern Hemisphere.
】Unidentified luminous object reported near surface ice cover.
Even today, incidents and accidents are occurring in various places.
At this point, I’ll explain how I work.
I am a great magician-level intellectual who operates based on weapon golem science, so due to the nature of the magic I mainly use, my main body has little movement capacity.
[This is working from home.]
Leave your head and chest, which cause alcoholism, at home.
A cutting-edge work method where you move your mind around and become possessed by a golem on the ground when you go to work.
After I put consciousness on a suitable golem, I usually go out into the field with automated dolls that I have set various action guidelines for in advance.
Golem.
Anyway, these days, the world cannot function without this concept.
[Let’s quickly deal with the urgent matters first.]
And I was quite proud of living in the age of the Golem.
First of all, he was born with a special talent for handling golems, and he had no problem using that skill.
Because the well-made machines allowed us to experience strange physical forms, such as birds, sharks, and sometimes insects or other imaginary creatures.
[So does our boss also change his body every day?]
The correlation between experience and soul.
A series of thoughts on that topic flow through my head.
But I quickly shook off the random thoughts that came to mind.
From now on, it’s time to get to work.
I lowered the consciousness level of the main body and activated a specific magic, which gave me a sense of propriety.
This planet’s ruler is modeled after the Alpha Urinians, but the material is closer to hard than flexible.
Humanoid golem.
[Okay.]
The body moves smoothly.
After a quick checkup, I started working on high priority tasks.
【Wanted for the entire water area of East 09 (Priority 1/Capture)】
Our first task today is to catch the escaped robber, but that shouldn’t take long.
[Let’s see, the last confirmed location was around here… ]
My area of responsibility, with the title of First Magic Master, is 80% of the Northern Hemisphere.
At the same time, the limits of the detection magic that this side can deploy are roughly similar to that.
Work was easy today too.
After waiting for a moment, something reacted by getting caught at the end of the magic net spread out in the sea.
It was the characteristic magic power of an individual who deserved to be punished for taking someone else’s property by force.
.
.
.
A few hours later.
Inside the warm waters of the northernmost part of the planet.
-Clang, clang, clang.
Noisy noises echo from all over the place.
A room with a flat bottom and a square structure to allow for neat storage of items.
And strangely enough, a dry environment where not a single drop of water exists.
-Oh, you’re here.
-Is it that time already?

-That’s why I said to make the windows in the storage room bigger. Because of the damn airtightness, all four sides are blocked off, so even if a day passes by, it doesn’t feel like it.
As I just mentioned, this place is actually a storage facility.
When asked what it stores, the obvious answer is the golem, a famous item from this planet.
A research hall lined with dolls providing labor for military, agricultural, and other purposes.
[Come to think of it, that lowly lizard golem was so cheap that a commoner would have to work for two and a half months to buy just one tail… … ]
The problem, however, is the price.
The magic power is also transmitted well.
It also has good elasticity.
And there’s basic durability too.
The Golem is a cutting-edge machine that consumes such dream materials without sparing any effort, so it is impossible for it to be worthless.
[I understand, but it still feels a bit expensive.]
The total cost of the golems in this vault was equivalent to 15 years of the national budget.
So managers tend to always keep the interior of the building in an optimal environment to make the materials last as long as possible.
Not for living things, but for those inorganic substances, in a dry and room temperature state.
[hmm.]
At this point, it’s almost like a superior, not a golem.
Engineers armed with all kinds of safety equipment move busily around the storage facility.
As time passed, the work of joining parts began somewhere. A transport golem was also seen moving, carrying a load of adhesive with a sour and fragrant smell.
But I just passed it by without any interest as usual.
Arrest the wanted criminal. Subdue the sorcerer.
There was even a major contract fraud ring busted.
This guy worked all day without eating or resting, and only managed to get here to finish his last task just before he left work. How could anyone else notice?
[Okay. If we take care of it like this, we can proceed with the operation more easily tomorrow.]
The part that these numerous technicians examine is usually the golem’s exterior.
That is, shell repairs, which account for most of the defensive performance, lubrication between each organ, and cleaning of the core pump.
And what I keep modifying every day is the inner part of the golem, which is in contrast to this.
A code of conduct to be stored in the machines’ heads. Or, a memorize magic that is automatically fired in a set situation.
[Oh my, the spell here has already been erased. I’ll have to re-engrave it.]
These magical automata display incredibly strange behavior even with the slightest mistake in their reaction settings.
This isn’t a newborn baby.
These could minimize any potential malfunctions by checking at the end of each day to see if anything was broken and if previously issued commands were maintained.
[Okay, now it’s completely over.]
Well, even if you put up with this little inconvenience, you can gain a lot of benefits… … .
[Everyone, work hard today! I’m going home from work.]
-Hahaha. Yeah. Yeah.
-Go to sleep, Master! It’s getting really late.
-Hello~
Before leaving the storage room.
When I greeted them in a loud voice, the technicians all responded.
I closed my eyes after receiving the same warm farewell as always.
By the time I turned back to the awards ceremony, I saw the dark ceiling I faced every morning.
For your information, this space, like the storage room before, is a space that has been dried and surrounded by a barrier to prevent water from entering.
I love those automated dolls so much that I have a house full of them.
[Golems are a great culture.]
When I returned home, I thought about it as the sleepiness that was coming upon me grew stronger.
A clay doll that in the early days could not even properly follow the simple command to ‘plow the field’ and would plow in the wrong place.
But now they handle many tasks better than most professionals.
With the development of golems, this world has developed into a very ornate and large-scale architectural unit.
In particular, in the upper part of the Southern Hemisphere (more commonly referred to as the Southern Upper Class), where there are many wealthy people living well, they even created living spaces so large that all the houses were organically connected like spider webs, creating buildings like artificial waves in the ocean.
[A living complex that looks like a wave foam… … .]
I hope that one day I will get to see that iconic building of the Southern Hemisphere.
This body is in the northern hemisphere, so I don’t think that’s likely for the time being.
Yeah. Well, is it really necessary to only look at wealthy areas in remote areas?
The standard of living of citizens on this planet has improved beyond comparison to the past.
In the past, only the rich could afford to own these creatures, but now anyone can ride a long steel dragon that doesn’t cost much to feed.
Leave the dirty work that has a high incidence of aftereffects to Golem.
What a wonderful time it is to have golem servants who do all the housework and rub your shoulders with just a word.
I’m too sleepy to have any more random thoughts.
I have somehow managed to reach a state where I don’t need to eat, but this sleep is something that is difficult to reverse even as the times advance.
[Oh, I’m sleepy…]
It was around the time when my mind was starting to become hazy.
Flash.
Suddenly, a clear image appeared in my visual organs, and strange thoughts flashed through my mind as if I had been struck by thunder.
for a moment.
But how did I… survive until this day?
[?]
And why should this body sleep and eat organic matter like other people?
Something’s weird. I mean, I… I mean, that’s… … .
[… … .]
… I don’t know what kind of nonsense the thought that just occurred to me is.
[Did you work too hard today?]
It would be great if there was an oil that could be poured on the brain, but unfortunately, this world does not have any lubricants that can help people think better.
So, in the end, I couldn’t interpret this strange feeling.
Because even when I tried to think about it, I couldn’t come up with a clear answer and the sentences just floated around in my head like an illusion.
First of all, without thinking much about it.
I forced myself to sleep for tomorrow’s work.
… But something really strange happened.
I wonder if this one thought was a germ that infected my brain cells.
From that day on, every time I tried to fall asleep for three whole days, the same thought would pop into my head.
***
Day 4 of sleeplessness.
-Eww! What are you doing? Can’t you shoot your magic straight?
-The tentacles almost flew away!
[Uh… Okay. Excuse me. Could you all please move a little further back? We’ll have to build a new barrier there anyway.]
It is certain that sleep is a very essential concept for rational beings.
I’ve only been out of bed for a few days, but I’m already suffering from the aftereffects that are so severe that they’re interfering with my daily life.
[Anyway, even on such a tiring day, the work doesn’t stop… … .]
The true nature of the aftershock is a subtle aversion to honorifics.
This is really weird.
Isn’t it only natural that I, who exists for the citizens, be respectful to the inhabitants of this planet?
But these days, I suddenly feel awkward, uncomfortable, and sometimes even uncomfortable using this honorific language.
[I need to finish quickly today and check my physical condition.]
Boom! … Clink clink clink clink.
Noise flows.
The mysterious sound effect that had just appeared was none other than the sound of light jewel stakes hitting each other.
The significance of this schedule is to use these catalysts to create a powerful new barrier.
The reason the wizards came all the way to the top of the ice sheet to create a barrier was because the planet Alphauri had recently had a reunion with its long-forgotten enemies.
-Is it really true that it’s blocked by a few of these barriers?
[Yes. ■▒, the ruler of this planet, said… … .]
I answered the questions of the residents nearby honestly.
[They say that there is no other magic that is as effective as this for beta adults.]
‘Beta adult’.
The great enemies who once brought the Alpha Uranians to the brink of extinction throughout history.
According to information relayed from above, surprisingly, the weaklings on the satellite mainland, who were expected to die out on their own, have survived by repeatedly reproducing.
And recently, it is said that they are trying to invade the outskirts of the city again, unable to bear the lack of resources.
[The last attack happened on the day of a solar eclipse, so it’s about time for it to appear again.]
They had already come close to wiping the Alpha Urinians from the world, so wouldn’t anything be easier the second time around?
The fear and loathing of beta-adults was information deeply ingrained in the genes of the inhabitants of the planet.
So, the ruling class that ruled this sea tried to block the invasion of Beta adults at the source, even if it meant pouring in a huge budget worth ten years.
In return, citizens willingly offer their gratitude and loyalty to the powerful who protect them in this crisis situation… … .
[Huh? You’re here.]
That was when.
New information entered my senses as I was lost in thought.
A wavelength unique to the Beta race.
-Ugh!
-Oh, look at that sight. It’s just like the story my great-grandfather told me.
-It’s so disgusting I can’t look at it.
The greatest enemy of the planet born from the satellite is so rough in appearance that even the vague appearance of its shape in the distance causes chaos.
But I was fine.
There’s a huge budget allocated to this job. If you have a conscience, you should do your job well and professionally.
[‘Mana Burn is no longer fatal to the new human race of Beta. After weakening them several times with the barrier net as usual, attack when the coordinates are fixed… … .’]
with a plop!
Enemies fall from the sky.
I pushed past the barrier magicians and strode closer to the problematic location to deal with it.
Then what you see is the characteristic beta-type appearance with a fearsome majesty… … .
-Kaaaah!
… … Wait a minute, do they usually make such loud noises?
I tried high-resolution echolocation again.
Hard shell.
Asymmetrical body.
And the occasional tiny pore.
This is what the monster that appeared from the sky looked like.
Yeah, it was exactly the same as I remembered.
The problem is that they are not different at all.
[These have evolved?]
Surely Beta adults won’t be fatally injured by Mana Burn anymore. Is it structurally possible for something with such breathing holes?
Why? Why does something that was proceeding according to procedure until yesterday feel so awkward?
[?]
I hurriedly cast my clairvoyance magic.
Then new information came in.
Interestingly, the beta-adult in front of us contained mechanical parts that perfectly mimicked the movements of the organism’s organs.
That is, that white monster is not alive, but a fake made of a golem… … What the hell!
[Fake Beta Adult?!]
Aaaah!
That was the moment.
I felt a great, inexplicable pain somewhere in the round structure of my body that gave rise to my thoughts.
It was a painful sensation that made me scream.
The questions about lifespan, the awkward honorifics, and the intense discomfort radiating from the fake beta adults made it feel as if a blocked pipe had been forcibly burst.
[This is crazy!]
I realized what a shitty situation the whole thing had been.
It means that memories come back due to continuous stimulation.
