Chapter 79

Phew, that’s good.

The cliff face rises sharply, easily over 100 meters.

Below the cliff, the sea stretches out in a vast expanse of blue.

The waves crash against the cliff face with a fierce intensity.

I shift my gaze from the cliff and look in the opposite direction.

It’s a forest, trees as far as the eye can see.

Deep in the forest, monsters do live, but that’s within expectations.

“Sir Christophe, your tea is ready.”

“Thank you, Feira.”

Feira prepares tea for me whenever I feel thirsty.

Luna does the same, and Feira also makes tea for me whenever I want it.

Hanna’s two disciples are at a very high level as maids.

Hmm?

Where are we, you ask?

Well, it’s a... s-e-c-r-e-t♪

Just kidding.

Actually, I was granted ownership of a certain piece of land by His Majesty for providing military supplies.

This land is right here.

Huh?

So where is it, you ask?

Well, there’s a small stretch of sea to the east of the Holy Bandam Kingdom.

Ah, this means there’s a bit of land in the human-controlled area that touches the sea.

From that land, if you go a little southeast across the sea, there’s an island, and we’re on that island right now.

This island is surrounded by cliffs, so even if you approach by boat, you can’t land. But in my case, I can just teleport here easily.

According to the wisdom of the divine realm, this island is about 1,400 square kilometers, slightly larger than Okinawa Island in Japan.

You don’t know?

Then, how about the size of Shizuoka City in Shizuoka Prefecture? ... You don’t know? ... Look it up yourself.

So, this island, where no one can land, has been officially recognized as my property by His Majesty.

Well, according to the laws of the Holy Bandam Kingdom, unexplored land can be claimed by whoever develops it, so I could have just developed it and claimed ownership without any questions. However, that would have involved some troublesome procedures, and annoying nobles might have interfered, so I had His Majesty recognize it as my land beforehand.

So, here we are, Christophe and Feira, landing on the island.

There are many things I want on this island.

That’s why I decided to make it my property and develop it freely.

Now, you might think the first thing to do is build a mansion?

Nope... I’m going to make golems.

Make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make, make.

Phew, I made them, I made them.

It’s quite a sight to see so many golems lined up.

In total, 50 golems.

Golems are tireless laborers that faithfully carry out any orders given to them.

“Golems 001 to 010, cut down trees, clear the land, and build the mansion. Golems 011 to 020, cut down trees, clear the land, and build a wall. Golems 021 to 030, cut down trees in the surrounding area and create farmland. Golems 031 to 050, clear out the monsters within a 2-kilometer radius and collect the corpses in this magic bag. All of you, get to work immediately.”

Hmm?

Golems only move according to commands programmed into a magic circle?

That’s right.

So, I program the golems to faithfully carry out my orders.

And since I can directly transmit my thoughts as commands, it’s quite convenient.

Well, it would be difficult for ordinary people to make these golems, but I can do it.

After all, I am the God of Magic!

“Alright, we’ll leave the rest to the golems and head back.”

“Yes, but is it really okay to leave the golems unattended?”

Feira’s concern is understandable.

But this is also an experiment, a test.

I’m leaving the golems to see how well they carry out my orders.

I expect them to be tireless laborers, so I want to see what they can accomplish.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. We’ll come back in a week to check on them, so we’ll leave them be for now.”

Chochoi no choi!

Before you ask what I’m doing, I’ll tell you: I’m sewing.

I obtained silk spider thread when I visited the island the other day, and I’m making clothes from it.

Cloth woven from silk spider thread is rarely found in the market.

Why? Because silk spiders are rare monsters.

However, there are many silk spiders on that island, so I can obtain the thread.

Of course, the area where the silk spiders live is not within the range where the golems are clearing out monsters, so don’t worry.

You might think I’m making clothes for myself, but that’s not the case.

Of course, I will make clothes for myself, but first, I’m making clothes for Ignatz.

It’s a gift for my dear little brother.

In the Holy Bandam Kingdom, birthdays are only celebrated at birth and on the 15th birthday.

The 15th birthday is celebrated because it marks the transition to adulthood.

It seems to be the same in other countries, where birthdays are not considered very important except for the 15th.

So, I’m making these clothes as a birthday gift for Ignatz, trying to make them as high-quality as possible.

And next year, Lady Krishnas will turn 15, so we’ll have a grand celebration.

I need to start thinking about what to give her as a gift.
