Day 411-420/Day 415 Sidestory

[the warrior-like boy's point of view] 
Today, I for the first time set foot in the [Artificial dungeon] built by a master of the past- [sinus workshop of the time].
Hi, my name is Gege-Kacourti.
It is a successor of the historical family Karukui family who worked in the center of the city-state's Sapuntroa?randantroa, and has gathered six surrounding clans.
as a hobby, I also accumulated my actual combat experience and went with my wife to undergo a dive here in search of works of art that I have not yet seen, Eshe-Fujo. 
Dungeon monsters that come out in [sinus workshop of the time] are many golems 
There are other species that live in caves, but basically, the golem measures they deal with are more effective than knives. 
So, apart from the sword, this time I prepared a Warhammer type magic item. 
In the magic item that [crushed battle], there is an effect to strengthen the impact of the blow. The harder the object is, the easier it is to destroy, and the more easily you break it if you're a golem opponent.
As an avant-garde, I shake [crushed battle] and the ashes of the rear guard support me as a [magician]. 
My escort knight Cassus and Eshe's escort knight Veronia stood around to assist us, so there was a danger, but it still kept us around. 
Because the drop item is carried by the servant Gotham, fatigue was little even in the movement after the battle. 
While doing so, we managed to get to the deepest part of the dungeon boss. 
When I opened the door like a beautiful work of art, there was Arnegma Golem, a rare sculptor who was active hundred and a few decades ago, reflecting the character of Arnegma Alcomashia, who was also an alchemist and an artist. 
Arnegma Golem was making something. 
It might be a new work of art. I love Arnegma's work, and I was excited to be here for the first time.
It's the same with Eshe, and we're a pardoned couple, and we love Arnegma. 
Excited, we watched the work being made for a while, and after a while, we started to get down to business. 
At this point, it is possible to bring back the work that is worth it in exchange for the material. 
All the materials we prepared to come here today were first-class, and it was quite wonderful when it came to the work that was worth it. 
Arnegma Golem also liked the material, and showed me some of the works that I usually hide. 
And we were excited again, but we can't bring back everything we've seen. 
It is unthinkable to defeat Arnegma golem and take it home, and Arnegma Golem is a fierce person to the extent that it returns all the unscrupulous things which did such a violent idea, to begin with. 
What appeals to violence is that it is violent. 
Anyway, we were worried about it after that, but in the end, we were able to bring back the goods that we were satisfied with. 
On the way back, Arnegma Golem prepared a golem for the see-off near the exit, so I was able to go home without any particular fighting. 
I hear that the reason is that the work of the angle might be broken if there is a battle. 
I continued to talk with Ashe with excitement, thinking that I was grateful. 
I chose a picture of a monster swimming in a rough sand sea. 
I can't hide my excitement with the power and unique brushstrokes that seem to pop out of the picture. 
Ashe chose a vivid statue of a man and a woman. 
Ashe was patting with enchantment in the stone image which made the vitality feel so that it seemed to begin to move at any moment. 
Exchanging opinions while exchanging each one, it had arrived near the doorway if it noticed. 
It's close to the outside, and it's here. 
There is a possibility that there are barbarians outside trying to take away the work they brought home, so they can't get out of their way. 
He regrets the happy time, but when he returns to the mansion, he changes his mind when he has more leisurely time. 
Then we switched our consciousness and we went outside, and there was a strange group there. 
It was a moment to have been wary of the thief, and it was called cheerfully. 
It was a black demon. 
I didn't look like a bad guy, but I couldn't get out of my guard, and the escort knight Cassas came forward and started talking. 
In the meantime, Veronia comes forward as if to protect us. 
The two escort knights were former adventurers. It's supposed to be strong enough to dive into the Jindai Dungeon, but she's staring at the group with a very serious expression while sweating coldly.
This is the first time for me to react like this, and I wonder if demons and other people are horribly strong. 
I thought that if something were going to happen, I wouldn't be able to protect eishe, but that wasn't the case. 
Apparently, in the middle of the trip, we discovered [the sinus workshop of the death] and when we approached with interest, it seemed to call because we came out. Indeed, the outside of the sinus workshop is a rock that can only be seen as a skull.
I was convinced that it was natural to be interested in. 
When I talked to him about it, he felt he wasn't a bad person and he wanted to see what the work we brought back was like. 
I'm a little wary here, but I thought there was no point in being wary of me. 
The body of the demon seen in the vicinity is strengthened, and the muscle is terrible. Far from comparing to me, it's even better than Cassas. If I had thought I'd kill him, I would be dead.
That's why I talked to others about my favorite work. While careful not to feel uncomfortable talking too much, he still spoke to the devil to convey his passion satisfactorily, and he took out the ingredients, saying that he was a thank-you.
Everything seems to be dragon meat. It is a huge mass for one homo, too.
It is a ridiculous luxury article, and it passes it so that it is not the one to be eaten so much. Moreover, it put it to the item box of the small box type so that the dragon meat might be brought home.
And, the obaro's disappeared to the sky. It's a flying ship, and it's a ridiculous white thing reminiscent of that [sun king].
I was surprised to see that the means of transportation were ships that flew in the sky, and I felt the size of the world like the sky. 
I think it's just amazing. 
Then we returned to the mansion and ate dragon meat and talked passionately about the Eshe and the work. 
It also motivated us to create, and we each created our own work. 
I'm a picture, Andet is a stone statue. 
The title is...... 
The shocking encounter between boys and girls 
Feel the size of the world, each world/awareness has spread 
In the future, the two of them will be friends so much that they envy their surroundings, and they will be a couple with a lot of children. 
And each becomes a famous [artist], a lot of works are produced 
Among them, the most common theme was......

　【人造ダンジョン攻略を終えた名家の少年視点：四十五日目】
　今日僕は、過去の名工によって造られた【人造ダンジョン】――【刻命の洞骨工房】に初めて足を踏み入れた。
　僕の名前はゲージュ＝カクールイ。
　都市国家≪サープントロア≫の中枢で働き、周辺の氏族を六つ纏めてきた歴史ある名家カルークイ家の後継者である。
　今回は僕の実戦経験の蓄積と趣味を兼ね、許嫁のエーシェ＝フージョと共にまだ見ぬ美術品を求めてここに潜った。
　【刻命の洞骨工房】で出て来るダンジョンモンスターはゴーレム系が多い。
　その他には洞窟などに生息する種もいるが、基本的に相手にするゴーレム対策は刃物よりも打撃系が有効だ。
　そこで愛剣とは別に、今回はウォーハンマー型のマジックアイテムを用意した。
　【砕身の戦鎚】というマジックアイテムで、打撃の衝撃を強化する効果がある。これで対象が硬いほど破壊しやすくなり、ゴーレム相手だと簡単に砕く事が出来る。
　前衛として僕は【砕身の戦鎚】を振るい、後衛のエーシェは【魔術師】として援護してくれる。
　僕の護衛騎士カッサスとエーシェの護衛騎士ベロニアは僕達を補助するように立ち回ってくれるので、危険はあるけど、それでも僕達を中心とした攻略が続いた。
　ドロップアイテムは使用人のゴッサムが運んでくれるから、戦闘後の移動でも疲労は少なかった。
　そうこうしつつ、何とか僕達はダンジョンボスがいる最深部に到着した。
　美しい芸術品のような扉を開けると、そこには百数十年前に活躍した、稀代の【彫刻家】であり【錬金術師】や【芸術家】でもあったアルネグマ・アルコマシーアの人格を映しとったアルネグマ・ゴーレムが居た。
　アルネグマ・ゴーレムは何かを作っていた。
　新作の芸術品だろう。僕はアルネグマの作品が大好きで、始めてここまで来れた興奮に心が躍った。
　それはエーシェも同じで、僕達は許嫁であり、アルネグマ作品を愛する同士でもある。
　興奮した僕達はしばらく作品が作られている様子を眺めつつ、暫くして本題に入る。
　ここまで来ると、材料と引き換えに、それに見合う作品を持ち帰る事が可能なのだ。
　今日ここに来るために用意した材料はどれも一級品で、それに見合うだけの作品となると相応に素晴らしいものだった。
　アルネグマ・ゴーレムも材料を気に入ってくれたのか、普段は隠している作品も何点か見せてくれた。
　それにまた興奮した僕達だったけど、見た物全てを持ち帰る事は出来ない。
　アルネグマ・ゴーレムを倒して持ち帰る事なんて考えられないし、そもそもアルネグマ・ゴーレムはそんな乱暴な考えをした不埒モノをこれまで全て返り討ちしている程の猛者なのだ。
　暴力で訴えるものは、暴力で諫められるという事だろう。
　ともあれ、それから悩みに悩んだ僕達だったけど、最終的には納得した品を持ち帰る事が出来た。
　帰り道はアルネグマ・ゴーレムが出口近くまで見送り役のゴーレムを用意してくれたので、特に戦闘も無く帰る事が出来た。
　戦闘があれば、折角の作品が壊れてしまうかもしれないからだそうだ。
　ありがたいと思いつつ、エーシェと興奮のまま話し続けた。
　僕が選んだのは、荒々しい砂海を泳ぐモンスターを描いた絵だ。
　まるで絵の中から飛び出てきそうなほどの迫力と独特の筆使いに興奮を隠せない。
　エーシェが選んだのは、生き生きとした男女の石像だ。
　今にも動き出しそうなほど生命力を感じさせる石像で、エーシェはうっとりと撫でていた。
　それぞれを交換しながら意見を交わし、気が付けば出入り口付近まで到着していた。
　ここから先は外が近く、油断はここまでだ。
　外には持ち帰った作品を奪おうと蛮族が居る可能性もあるから気を抜けない。
　幸せだった時間を名残惜しく思いつつも、屋敷に帰ればもっとゆったりとした時間が待っていると意識を変える。
　そうして意識を切り替えた僕達は外に向かい、そこに見知らぬ集団が居た。
　賊かと警戒したのは一瞬で、陽気に声をかけられた。
　黒い鬼人だった。
　悪人には見えなかったけど警戒を解けない僕に変わり、護衛騎士カッサスが前に出て話をし始めた。
　その間にベロニアがまるで僕達を守るように前に出る。
　護衛騎士二人は元凄腕の【冒険者】だった。【神代ダンジョン】に潜れるくらい強い筈だけど、冷や汗を流しつつとても真剣な表情で集団を見つめている。
　こんな反応は初めてで、鬼人やその他のヒト達も恐ろしく強いのだろうか。
　もし何かあればエーシェだけでも守らないと、そう思っていたけど特にそんな事はなかった。
　どうやら旅の途中で【刻命の洞骨工房】を発見し、興味本位で近づいたら僕達が出てきたから声をかけたらしい。
　確かに、【刻命の洞骨工房】の外側は頭蓋骨にしか見えない岩だ。
　興味を惹かれるのは当然だろうと納得した。
　それに話してみると悪い人ではないと感じ、僕達が持ち帰った作品がどんなものなのか見たいと言われた。
　ここで少し警戒するけど、僕程度が警戒したところで意味はないと思った。
　すぐそばで見た鬼人の身体は鍛えられ、筋肉が凄いのだ。僕なんかと比べるどころか、カッサスよりも更に凄い。
　殺そうとか思っていたら、とっくに僕は死んでいるだろう。
　だから好きな作品を他人に自慢するように、色々と喋った。喋りすぎて不快に思われないように注意しつつ、それでも情熱が十分伝わるように語ると、鬼人――オバ朗さんはお礼だといって食材を取り出した。
　何でも竜肉らしい。それもヒト一人分はある巨大な塊だ。
　とんでもない高級品であり、そうそう食べられるものでもないのに、何でもないように渡してくる。しかも竜肉を持ち帰られるように小箱型のアイテムボックスまでつけてくれた。
　そしてオバ朗さん達は空に消えていった。空飛ぶ船と言う、あの【太陽王】を彷彿とさせるとんでもないシロモノに乗って。
　竜肉もそうだが、移動手段が空を飛ぶ船という事に驚き、大空のような世界の広さを肌で感じた。
　ただただ凄いな、と心から思う。
　それから屋敷に帰った僕達は竜肉を食べ、エーシェと作品を熱く語った。
　また創作意欲を掻き立てられ、僕達はそれぞれ作品を作った。
　僕は絵を、エーシェは石像を。
　タイトルは……
　・少年少女の衝撃の出会い
　・世界の広さを感じ、それぞれの世界／認識が広がった
　・将来二人は周囲が羨むほど仲が良く、子沢山の夫婦となる
　・そしてそれぞれ有名な【芸術家】となり、多くの作品が生み出される
　・中でもテーマに多かったのは……
