It’d been a while so I was goofing off in the garden and simply basking in the sun.

  「You’re, really looking, listless.」


  「It’s alright Hesty. It’s just been a while since I had a day that I could truly take it easy.」


  Thinking back, I feel like I’ve been moving around a lot.

  Sometimes it’s good to just laze about and soak up the sun.

  「….so Hesty, What are you up to?」


  Hesty was beside me sorting through the mountain of magic stones.

  「I’m separating, the ones that can be used in staves and wands, and the, consumable ones.」


  「Is there a difference between them?」


  「Yes. The larger ones, can have magic put in them for, multiple uses. Smaller ones, are better for one use. The small ones, are better used for, magic bullet propulsion.」


  Huh, she’s knows about such things?

  「I know, tentatively about, weapons like this. There was once, when I had to use, a lot of magic stones, to play around, and send someone flying, like a human cannonball.」


  「Is that really playing around?」


  「There are sometimes, young dragons, that are afraid of flying. Using these as, propellant, we force them to fly. Flying, is like a coming of, age thing.」


  Is it like a reverse bungee jump? The scale is different though.

  「This time, we have a lot. If used for flight, you can fly a lot. You want to?」


  「No, I’ll pass. I’d rather relax in the sun instead of take part in something that requires that much courage.」


  「n~…there’s monsters here and there, in the area, but even so, will you continue laying down?」


  Just like Hesty said, there were monsters that had gathered around my garden, but they were being repelled by my golems.

  But anyways, it’s the usual hustle and bustle. I don’t really need to go handle it myself and I can just relax here.

  「n, but I thought, it seems particularly, strong ……ah, it got sent flying.」


  Besides for the golems that I move myself, I have independently moving golems that automatically repel intruders. That’s why I can settle down in complete relaxation.

  「Ahh, yep. This kind of luxury is the best….」


  Or so I thought when,

  「Eh?…..w-wait, I was just thinking of coming in from the back for once. I’m not going to do anything you know!?」


  「Huh? I hear something weird…」


  「W-wait please Golem! L-look I’m disarming see? So please, w-wait don’t take off my equipment. Not my armor hey!!」


  Somehow I ended up seeing the witch princess dilly-dallying with my automatic golem.

  「….what did you come here for?」


  If she came from the usual direction she wouldn’t have been caught by the golems like this, why did she have to come from the north instead?

  So there’s no accidents I have the golems set to disarm people.

  But for some reason it seems like they remove clothes too…hmm…


  「I don’t, know why, but are you alright, not stopping it?」


  「Ahh….yeah I guess. But let’s wait for a little while longer…then I’ll stop it.」


  There are still monsters around…it’ll also take time to turn them off and reactivate them.

  「n, I understand. I think the monster’s, will be finished, in a few more minutes.」


  「I see. Well, let’s wait till then.」


  「Wai- Someone! Not someone…DAICHI-DONO!? H-Help me—!!!」
