Daytime
I walked along the beach with Sakura, who was wearing a swimsuit . I was making sand golems along the way .
It’s just that, I wasn’t making the golems with my hands . Wherever I stepped a small golem would rise up from the sand .
「Master is there a specific use for these mini-golems?」
「No, I’m just testing out how far I can simplify the process of creating golems . 」
I took a step and the sand hardened and rose up into a small human-shaped golem . At present this was the simplest and easiest way to make sand golems .
It was even quicker than using a magic key and I could make them as I pleased .
「Moreover it feels like this sand is easier to form than other material . 」
「Ahh, it’s probably because this beach has much more magic than regular soil around where we are . It’s able to respond to your power in an instant . 」
「Huh? There’s that much power in this sandy beach?」
I looked down at the white sands .
I suppose it made sense that the beach that touched a lake full of magic power would have a large amount as well .
……now that I think about it the Knight Captain did say 『This beach is different than other soil . It surrounds your legs and feet with a nice strong sensation that helps with training』
I suppose that’s why they use it for a training camp .
For me it only felt like a silky layer of sand beneath my feet…but I suppose there must be something unique about it .
… . if I were to do golem experiments here there might be interesting results .
Just the other day I had experimented to create a sand golem .
It was a different sensation than using wood, soil, and water . It was worth further experimentation .
An interesting task and a nice environment . I continued my walk .
「All things considered, Master is progressing at a fearsome pace . 」
Sakura said suddenly .
「Eh? What are you saying all of a sudden?」
「Well, being able to give shape and magic to the sand in an instant is fairly unthinkable normally . 」
「It’s because I’m very used to this kind of task . 」
However, if I wanted to add new functions or sculpt them more precisely I would have to take the time to do it by hand .
If I just wanted to make them simply with a barely human appearance I could simply use the experience I had from making golems out of wood and water .
That’s why it was so simple and easy to make golems like this .
「I make them nearly every day back home so the skills have become near habit . 」
「I suppose you’re right . You create various golems out of different materials daily . 」
She said and I couldn’t help but think of home .
「It feels like we’ve been at the lake for quite some time . 」
「I suppose you’re right . We’ve already been here several days . 」
「Well, I guess we did just come here to do as we please . 」
Thanks to that I was able to enjoy myself as intended .
The only thing left that I hadn’t really done was swim around the lake .
……since I was able to do it anytime I wanted I had put it off until now .
It was just that swimming in there once or twice would satisfy me, so I’d probably be done with it by this evening .
Even my fishing gear adjustment and my sand golem experiments would only last for another day or two .
「Fumu, now that I think on it we’ve been her quite a while . Maybe we should head back tomorrow or the day after . It was a nice vacation but honestly my home is where I feel best . I also feel like sleeping in my own bed . 」
It wasn’t as if I couldn’t sleep without my own pillow or as if the bed was of poor quality .
It’s just I missed the feeling of my own bed .
「Fufu, those are the best words you could say to a home Master . 」
「It feels a little weird for you to get so happy over those kinds of words… . . but let’s finish off our vacation in style . I’m going to take this opportunity and go for a swim . 」
「Okay! I’ll accompany you Master!」
Sakura said and grasped my hand tightly .
I gripped her hand back and headed towards the water .
It’d been a few days since we got here .
Finally I’d take a nice relaxing swim in the lake .
