Afternoon.

  After eating the fresh crab and the fish that Hesty brought back for lunch, I tried to improve my sand golems for a while.

  「Ok then, for now it should be ok like this.」


  In front of me were three 5 meter tall golems that I had perfected.

  I began experimenting with adding water to firm up the sand and was finally able to make sand golems like this.

  「There’s unexpectedly quite a bit I can do with sand.」


  I wanted to make several of them and make them large.

  After all, with sand golems I would be able to polish my wood golems as well.

  ……I was really happy with the sanding and polishing power it showed.

  Up till now I had to use magic to make my wood golems look more presentable. Basically I used magic to smooth out the rough edges.

  For the basic structure it worked out quite well…however the detailed parts required me to do them manually.

  Now that I had the sand golem it became much easier.

  With those thoughts in mind I patted my newly made sand golems.

  「Daichi-dono, I was thinking we should set off soon…tte u-umm…I don’t think you need those weapon-like golems you know?」


  Dianeia said as she approached.

  I hadn’t thought that she would suddenly treat these golems like a weapon.

  「Dianeia these aren’t weapons they’re the result of playing around with sand for a while. I didn’t intend them to be that type of equipment ok?」


  「Play….!? O-Ohh, Okay. You make golems easily after all Daichi-dono. Thought it is strange you can make them using any material you find……」


  Even if the materials changed, the methods didn’t really.

  I don’t know why she’d treat it as something strange.

  Well, since I didn’t intend on having the golems follow I’ll just let it go.

  「Anyways, let’s set off.」


  「Yes, the sun’s high in the sky. The facilities around here have had time to get up and running and we should be able to see plenty of things.」


  「Thanks for the consideration.」


  I already had my walking shoes on and my straw hat.

  I was ready to go anytime.

  「Are you going just like that Dianeia?」


  I asked and she nodded before raising her hands.

  「Yep, as you can see I’ve got my clothes all set and my sun protection as well.」


  I gazed at her and saw she was wearing her orange swimsuit under a light shirt.

  I clearly knew that she was wearing the bottom part of her swimsuit under that…but I couldn’t help but feel it was a bit erotic looking. Those thoughts ran through my mind as I looked at her when…


  「U-umm what’s wrong Daichi-dono? You’re staring…is there something weird about me?」


  「Umm…well I thought you looked kind of sexy.」


  「I…..!?」


  I thought I might hurt her feelings if I poorly tried to fool her so I ended up saying it straight out. However, Dianeia’s face immediately turned red.

  This reaction was slightly unexpected, somehow I expected her to confidently say 「Umu, thank you!」


  「Uhh, sorry. I should have said it more tactfully.」


  「N-no it’s fine! I’m not offended at all! In fact you can look even more if you want!」


  Dianeia said while swinging her head from side to side.

  She had a strange grin on her face…so maybe she really hadn’t taken offense.

  「I’m glad……ok then, I’ll leave the guiding to you.」


  「A-alright, I’ll take care of you….By the way I was thinking we would teleport then walk around different areas, that should allow us to see more things. Is that alright with you?」


  「Yeah that’s fine.」


  「Th-then let’s go.」


  Dianeia said as she held my hand.

  It was just…that her hand was strangely shaking.

  「Dianeia…you’re kind of shaking, are you dehydrated or something?」


  「N-no! I’m fine. I drank plenty. This shaking is just due to nerves so don’t mind it!」


  She said with her face burning red, but if she says she’s fine…I’ll take her word for it.

  「Okay, let’s go —「Teleport」—!」


  And so we disappeared from the beach as I held her hand.
