Magic excavator v.s.
Armed Golem

Sponsored Content

 
 Since the place was large, I changed the shape to the large magic excavator.
 But even so, the golem opposite us is still of the 10-meter class, which really is big when I looked at him again.
If he reached out his hand, our opponent would be able to reach the ceiling.
 However, the difference in physique doesn’t always lead to a decisive difference in combat power.
Let me properly teach you that.
 I swung the bucket at high speed towards the Armed Golem facing me as a test.
That single attack pulverised the hand the opponent stretched out.
 
 ”Oi oi, is it surprisingly fragile?”
 ”Kyu-!”
 ”Unii~!”
 
 Keon and Uni were in high spirits.
However, the golem’s arm, which we thought was destroyed, had the scattered equipment that had crumbled down gather up, and the arm returned to its original state.
 
 ”GuoO-oOOOooooOooon!”
 
 Raising another roar, the Armed Golem’s arm changed into a giant sword.
As expected of such an assembly of equipment.
 
 ”Koo~!”
 ”””””Mogu mogyu mogu~!”””””
 
 Kani and the moles shouted in a fluster.
It’s true that an opponent that can regenerate might be a bit troublesome.
 Now, the opponent has a sword, huh.
In that case, I’ll change the bucket here a bit too.

 The bucket changed to fork mode, and furthermore, it changed from a fork to scissors.
 Then, it connects with the Armed Golems sword attack.
 
 —Kin kin kin-!
 
 Our blades clash against one another.
However — “Gakiiin!”, and my scissors clamped onto the other’s sword.
Each force equalised.
 
 ”Koo~?”
 
 Kani looked at me with an expression that asked “Now what?”.
True, as it is, we won’t be able to end it like this.
 
 ”If it’s like that, then it’ll be fine if we just add another arm!”
 
 This is where the changing to the large-sized magic excavator comes into play.
The excavator changed further, and after the current arm was shifted to one side, another arm extended from the opposite side.
 Then the additional part changed into a magic crusher, and bit into the Armed Golem.
 
 ”—!”
 
 As expected, the panicked golem let go of its sword and jumped back.
Nevertheless, the broken parts are trying to get back together.
 However— I’ve thought of a move!

 ”Magic lifting magnet!”
 
 The end of the arm changed into a disc-like shape.
This is a mode that can attract magnetic metals.
 This then drew in and stuck to the equipment that was trying to return back to normal! Now that guy’s body won’t return back anymore.
 
 ”…….”
 
 Then the Armed Golem came to a stop and intently stared this way.
This is probably a good time.
 
 ”Actually, I’ve been thinking about something.”
 ”Kyupi-?”
 ”””””Mogu mogu~?”””””
 
 Keon and the moles looked this way with faces that asked “what, what?”.
These fluffy guys are so cute.
 Now then, I’ll have a talk with the Armed Golem.
 
 ”I’m sure I’d win if we kept fighting like this.
But I’ve actually taken a liking to you.
You’re a golem that has collected that much equipment.
So you have enough will to do so, right?”
 
 The armour on the way here didn’t seem to have a clear will, even if it could move freely.
But this guy collected this much discarded equipment.
To have the necessary power to make that possible, one could say that a reasonable amount of will is likely.
 If that’s the case, I thought it was worth it to talk with him.

 ”…….”
 
 He didn’t seem to reply, but he no longer feels like he intends to oppose us.
 
 ”If you want, you could sign a contract with me? I’m in need of a bit of armour.[TL: Probably intended for it to sound like “I need some muscle”, meaning he needs some brawn.] Of course, if you sign a contract with me, I’ll properly take care of you, ok?”
 
 Then I waited for the other party’s response.
Then the golem nodded its head in approval.
Apparently, it seems he felt like signing a contract with me.
 Somehow, I felt a little sorry that he was just abandoned here and would have ended like that in vain.
That’s why I made that offer.
Of course, I didn’t do it without thinking of any gains.
 I figured this golem could be useful as a guard golem.
It’s a dangerous area.
Even if we put up a wall, we’d also need something to take on that role.
 
 ”Alright, then let’s sign it!”
 ”Go-!”
 
 The golem nodded his reply with a click-clack.
After that, the materials that made up its body returned.
 In addition, the contract completed.
With this, my familiars increased again.
 
 ”I’ll be counting on you from now on.”
 ”Go-!”
 
 Although he gave a short reply while nodding his head, he seemed a little happy.
 Now, next is a name…

 ”Now, I think I should give you a name but…”
 ”Go-…”
 
 I thought the golem had an expectant look on his face for some reason.
Then I thought for a bit on what name to choose.
 
 ”Ok, your name is Kobelco! What’d you think?” [TL: Yet another construction equipment company pun name…]
 ”Go-! Go-!”
 
 Kobelco raised both his arms and stomped his feet, seemingly happy.
Good, he seems to like it.
 
 ”Unyu~”
 ”Kyupi~”
 ”Koo~ koo~”
 ”Mogu~”
 ”Mogu-!”
 ”Mogyu~♪”
 ”Mogu mogu♪”
 ”Mo~gu~!”
 ”Go-!”
 
 Yep.
Everyone’s welcoming Kobelco.
Anyways, now we got the guard golem Kobelco!
