Day 441-450/Day 442

Day 442
From the early morning, I was guided by 【Prince Mitsutake】, because I am being moved to a room in the royal castle.
Although it was an empty room which was not been used much since the castle was built, its furniture was cleaned everyday because it was still in the King's Castle, being maintained and usable immediately.
However, this time the furniture decorating the room would just be in the way, so I asked them in advance to remove it, and I was being led to it since it was just completed.
The vacant room seems to be sized for a giant and, end to end it's a very long distance. You might understand a little if you imagine the scene of putting a doll in a saloon.
As to what I would do in such a room that is sized like a cathedral, I need it to lessen the risk of information leaks while maintaining the golem models made by the indigenous people and remodeling Benitama.
When I arrived at the room, I immediately took out countless production golems, processing, and maintenance tools that I had in the item box. Side by side there were twenty giant warriors taken out of the "Gigantes Golem Night Road" model, those that were already destroyed as well as the reserve units.
Then again, this time the enemy "Milgarum" is huge.
In order to fight it, it was necessary to have a minimum of its size secured.
Its size is directly connected to its strength.
Even if there was no technology, if it's the size of a mountain, a huge baby would easily be able to stomp ordinary humans with little to no resistance, ending with them trampled.
The overwhelming size in body gap makes individual ability an overwhelming element to turn the tables.
And "Milgarum" is not just big.
Small, sharp, and poisonous scales overlap many times along its body. The whole body is a mass of muscles, but contrary to it's appearance it is can move fast, and even laying on powerful magic attacks will never defeat it due to the abundant magical power it has.
Although it's only disadvantage is simply its overwhelming size, you can only imagine what will happen if such a thing is added in an ordinary strategy.
I have no problem because there are various means to combat that issue, and there is a high enough chance of us winning.
But when it comes to members other than me, Minokichi-kun and Asue-chan, it would even be enough if Kanami-chan attacks in the end.
It would only be suicide if any of the other members try the challenge. It they even tried to fight properly, perhaps, they would last for a few seconds.
However, although it is dangerous, it would be nice to give the children the opportunity to fight such an enemy.
So I a prepared a Golem for each of them.
If I remodel it by adding a cockpit so that a person can get on board in the torso section, it would be much better than challenging with their life on the line.
If even Redhead or the children have a golem suit, they could take tentative shoots from a covered position, if they can, non-fighters like Blacksmith-san and even the Sisters can participate in that kind of warfare.
With a golem aiming from afar, it is easy work for Blacksmith-san to pull the trigger. There is nothing difficult in doing it, as the golem can aid you with aiming.
They can obtain valuable experience when participating in the battle against "Milgarum" and safely join in the subjugation.
What will it bring to Blacksmith-san and the others? Will they get a new [Job] or will it be expressed as another result?
There is certainly a part of my self that is curious and wants to know that, but the experience gained is sure to be useful.
For the future, it would be too regrettable to miss this opportunity.
However, multiple layers of protective measures need to be constructed.
As a matter of course, it is not too easy to have a giant meat shield as protection, so improvements to the golem itself is essential.
Fortunately Benitama will be able to solve that problem, although it will be a challenge that requires experience and skill.
The remodeling was extensive, including construction of a cockpit in which people can ride and an operating system, with the addition of functions like shock absorption so that their internal organs will not be destroyed, even during intense exercise.
Fortunately, however, there was no major difficulty.
Originally, similar machines were overflowing in my previous life, and I actually got into them many times.
This time, in addition to the information and the rule of thumb I learned then, we will add magic materials and other supplies of this world one after another.
Also, with just a roughly conveyed concept, Benitama greatly optimized the design.
Today, starting from the morning, countless golems have been busily working and time passes like that.
Since I can use them in various ways in the future, I think that I will continue using this method in the future.

　“四百四十二日目”
　朝から【光武王子】の案内によって、王城内にある一室に移動する。
　そこは元々あまり使われていない空き部屋だったのだが、王城内にあるので毎日清掃されていたしそれなりの質が維持された調度品が置かれ、すぐに使えるよう手入れされていた。
　しかし今回は部屋を飾る調度品は邪魔になるので事前に撤去を頼んでいたのだが、それが完了したのでこうして案内して貰っているのである。
　到着した空き部屋は巨人からしてもそれなりの広さがあるらしく、端から端がとても遠い。大広間に人形を置いた光景をイメージすれば少しは理解できるだろうか。
　そんな伽藍とした部屋で何をするかというと、情報が漏れにくいように室内にて、ベニタマ達によるゴーレム整備と改造を行う為だ。
　部屋に着くと、俺は早速アイテムボックスに入れていた無数の製造用ゴーレムや加工・整備器具などの大道具、それから破壊された時を考えて予備も含めた二十体の巨人型戦魔兵“ギガンテスゴーレム・ナイトロード”を取り出して並べていく。
　繰り返すが、今回の敵“ミルガルオルム”はとにかく巨大である。
　それと戦うには、やはり最低限の大きさを確保する必要がどうしてもあった。
　大きさはそれだけで強さに直結している。
　技術も何もなかったとしても、山のように巨大な赤子が暴れるだけで普通の人間は抵抗も出来ずに踏みつぶされてしまうように。
　圧倒的な体格差は個々の実力を簡単に覆せる重要な要素だ。
　そして“ミルガルオルム”はただ大きいだけではない。
　何重にも重なる強固な鱗に、鋭利で巨大な毒牙。全身は筋肉の塊なので見かけとは裏腹に動きは俊敏、更には豊富な魔力により絶える事の無い強力な魔法飽和攻撃も行使してくるという。
　単純な大きさだけで圧倒的に不利なのに、そんなものが加わればどうなるかは普通に考えれば理解できるだろう。
　俺は色々と手段があるので問題はないし、勝算も十分すぎる程にある。
　しかし俺以外のメンバーとなると、ミノ吉くんとアス江ちゃんと、それからギリギリでカナ美ちゃんが参戦できる程度だ。
　他のメンバーが生身で挑むのは自殺でしか無い。多分、まともに戦えば数秒で殺されるだろう。
　しかし危険ではあるが、これほどの強敵と戦う機会を子供達にも与えてやりたいというのは親心だろう。
　そこで用意するのがゴーレムだ。
　胴体部に人が搭乗できるようコクピットを増設するなど改造すれば、生身で挑むのと比べれば遥かに良い。
　流石に生身での参戦は許可できない赤髪ショートや子供達でもゴーレムがあるなら仮に援護射撃程度だとしても参戦できるし、そうなると本来なら非戦闘員である鍛冶師さんや姉妹さん達すら参戦可能になる。
　遠くからゴーレムが照準を合わせ、鍛冶師さん達がトリガーを引くだけの簡単作業である。ゴーレムで補助できるので、何も難しい事はない。
　“ミルガルオルム”との戦闘に参加し、無事に討伐した時に得られる経験値。
　それが鍛冶師さん達に何をもたらすのか。新しい【職業】を得るのか、または他の結果として発現するのか。
　それを知りたいという純粋な好奇心は確かにあるが、得た経験は必ず役立つ。
　今後を思えば、この好機を逃すのはあまりにも惜しいのだ。
　しかし安全対策は何重にも構築する必要がある。
　肉盾として生成巨人を配置するのは当然として、ゴーレムそのものの向上は必須だ。
　中々経験や技術が必要になる課題ながら、幸いな事にその課題はベニタマが解決してくれる。
　人が搭乗するコックピットや操作系統の再構築を始め、激しい運動でも内部の人間が死なないように衝撃吸収する為の機能の追加など、改造は多岐に及んだ。
　しかし幸い、大きな困難は無かった。
　元々、俺の前世で似たような機械は溢れていたし、実際に乗った事は何度もある。
　今回はその情報や経験則などに加え、この世界の魔法やら素材やらを次々追加していく。
　また大雑把にでも概念を伝えれば、ベニタマが最適化してくれた事も大きい。
　今日は朝から無数のゴーレム達が忙しなく活動し、時間が過ぎていく。
　今後にも色々と使えるので、こういった事は今後も継続していこうと思うのだった。
