Chapter 121 – Beauty and the Beast

The day after Jin registered in the Guild, the meeting of the nobles, golems, and Magi Craftsmen going to the golem party took place in Duke Blue’s mansion.

“Administrator of the Eastern District of Blue Land, Kuzuma.”

“Administrator of the Western District of Blue Land, Guarana.”

The two Earls first introduced themselves, then the golems and the Magi Craftsmen who built them.

“Earl Kuzuma’s golem, ‘Lotte’. Magi Craftsman, Jin.”

When their names were said, Lotte and Jin took a step forwards and bowed.

“Earl Guarana’s golem, ‘Owl’. Magi Craftsman, Bootes.’

His golem Owl’s whole body was gold-colored. It had a glamorous feminine body shape with a larger build than Lotte.

(Urgh, how bad taste does he…)

She was of the same golden color, but the helper golem Soleil Jin had made for Reiko in Hourai Island was a more matte golden compared to Owl in its gilded splendor. Lotte was matte bronze.

(It’s so new money.)

Jin came into such a conclusion in his mind. The Magi Craftsman called Bootes who built it had golden decorative sewings here and there on his clothes, making his tastes apparent.

Speaking of, Earl Guarana looked like nothing but a fat middle-aged man with brown hair and brown eyes.

Next,

“Shouro Empire’s diplomat, Reinhardt Randol’s golem Schwarz Ritter. Magi Craftsman is the same Reinhardt Randol.”

Even though he was participating as a guest, Reinhardt’s Schwarz Ritter was introduced.

“Oh my, everyone, what wonderful craftsmanship.”

Blue Land’s feudal lord Duke Blue commented. He was King Egelia’s older cousin.

He looked to be around 50 years old. He had blond hair with some white mixed in, blue eyes, and a tough physique. He had grown a short moustache, and he looked rather majestic.

“Well then, I’ll show you my golem too. ‘Tauros’!”

In response to his words, an over two meters tall, sturdily armored-looking golem appeared. At a glance its fighting strength could be judged to be high. On its back it was also carrying a gigantic sword.

“This is my ‘Tauros’. The Magi Craftsman is Jade Nepheloi.”

The introduced Jade Nepheloi was a lanky man in the prime of his life. Nevertheless, his gray eyes were sharp, and he was looking at Jin and Lotte as if searching for something.

“Starting with the guest Reinhardt-dono’s Schwarz Ritter, displaying these in front of Egelia King won’t be disgraceful, one upon other they’re all excellent.”

Duke Blue was in high spirits.

“Since today is for introductions, from now on, shall we not use this occasion to have the participants mingle with each other?”

Just as he stated, afterwards the participants held a tea party to interacted with each other. Light meals and herbal tea was brought out.

“Hello, you’re Earl Kuzuma’s Magi Craftsman, right?”

Jade Nepheloi came over to Jin and said.

“Eh, I suppose. However, I only accepted a commission, i’m not his employee or anything.”

Jade was surprised by Jin’s reply,

“Does that mean you’re a freelancer? How curious. That a Magi Craftsman who made a golem like that would be a freelancer. I suppose a lot of skilled craftsmen are still hidden in the world.”

“You understand the greatness of that golem?”

Reinhardt, who had turned up next to them, asked Jade.

“Oh, hello there Reinhardt-dono. Your Schwarz Ritter is a magnificent creation. Particularly the movements are fluid and natural.”

“Not at all, your Tauros too is for sure magnificent. It’s certainly strong, isn’t that true?”

Reinhardt took a stab at piquing his interest.

“Haha, I wonder. But I can say that the one they call the strongest knight in Duke’s employ, Robert-dono, gave his assistance for the movement system.”

Generally, as a model for practically all golems’ movement systems, a veteran of that profession was asked to assist.

“Blue Land’s strongest knight as the model, huh. That sure seems strong.”

“No no, word has come to me of Schwarz Ritter’s strength. They say that in the previous mock battle, it singlehandedly crushed 20 opponents.”

“No, that was just because of the limitations of the mock battle’s rules…”

Jade and Reinhardt were deeply involved in their conversation, so Jin took advantage of the situation and quietly left the scene.

However, this time Earl Guarana’s employed Magi Craftsman Bootes approached Jin.

“Hmph, you’re Earl Kuzuma’s Magi Craftsman, Jin, was it?”

Jin resigned himself to having to deal with him.

“Eh, I suppose. However, I only accepted a commission, i’m not his employee or anything.”

He gave the same reply as he did some time ago.

“Pshaw, as I thought. Making a plain golem like that meant the Magi Craftsman being plain too.”

Bootes said with arrogance.

“How about you work under Earl Guarana’s employ from now on
