Day 511-520/Day 514

Day 514 / 44th day
　The small golem plant is running smoothly in the store. Several golem turrets had already been manufactured and were lined up in the corner.
　After checking it out, I headed to the real estate early in the morning. Since the real estate was a contract between a store and a private house, we quickly settled on a deal and secured a vacant house along the road, somewhat far from the store, for a lump sum payment. It was one of the vacant houses that we had been eyeing for a while, and it was said that it was originally the villa of some wealthy man. However, after a series of business failures, the wealthy man lost his position and the house was put up for sale to pay off his debts.
　It was located at the edge of the city, out of the center of the city, and had a magnificent building surrounded by high walls and a reasonably large garden. It was not a bad place to stay, although it was a little old and a little well-kept. It has a lot of rooms, so it could be used as a company housing for employees, and it's also suitable for setting up a large golem plant to make golem trucks. The rooms would need some renovation, so we mobilized all the employees who were not working and started by leveling the yard and turning it into a parking lot.
　We pulled out trees that were in the way, moved rocks that were lying around, and removed water fountains that had run dry. Each of us had the horsepower of a heavy machine, so the yard was quickly transformed into a large parking lot. Not more than two hours had passed.
　After lunch, we decided to move on to the renovation of the inside of the building. This time, we just added a large golem plant to the large dance hall on the first floor, tore down walls and built large doors to make it easier to let the finished products out.
　I was worried about the strength of the building if an amateur were to do a large scale renovation, but by converting the floor and walls into golems, I was able to simplify things like security and strengthening. By the end of the night, I think I've got it all figured out.
　There are still some minor improvements to be made, but we can change them while we are using it. The rooms where the employees live need to be improved as well.
　We decided to let the meat bag boys and the ant boys do their best in the future, and had a great time barbecuing under the night sky today. Fresh meat, fresh vegetables. The barbecue was very tasty and we had a great time drinking and singing. Hmmm... I guess alcohol and meat do taste good. We decided to leave tomorrow, so it would be a while before we ate with the Ant People again.

“四十四日目　／　五■十四■目”
　店舗内では小型ゴーレムプラントが順調に稼働する。
　既に数台のゴーレムターレが製造され、隅の方に整列していた。
　それを確認し、早朝から不動産に向かった。
　店舗と民家を契約した不動産なので話もさっさと決まり、店舗からやや離れた場所にある道路沿いの空き家を一括払いで確保した。
　以前から目を付けていた空き家の一つで、元々はどこぞの富豪の別邸だったらしい。しかし事業失敗が続いた富豪の失脚により、借金返済の為に売りに出されていたそうだ。
　中心部から外れた少し端の方にあり、高い壁に囲われたそこそこ立派な建物と、それなりに広い庭がある。
　多少手入れされているが少し古びた感じもするが、悪くない物件だった。
　部屋の数も多いので従業員の社宅としても使えそうだし、ゴーレムトラックを造る大型のゴーレムプラントを設置するのにも適している。
　部屋の改装は多少必要になるので仕事がない従業員を総動員し、まずは庭を平たく均して駐車場にしていった。
　邪魔な樹木を引っこ抜き、転がっている岩を動かし、水の涸れた噴水なども撤去する。
　一人一人が重機のような馬力もあったので庭はあっという間にだだっ広い駐車場に変貌した。
　時間にして二時間も経過していないだろう。
　これならついでに、という事で昼食後には建物内部のリフォームに移行する。
　といっても、今回は一階にある大きなダンスホールに大型ゴーレムプラントを追加し、出来上がる製品を外に出しやすくする為に壁を壊したり大扉を造ったりしただけだ。
　下手に素人が大規模リフォームすると建物の強度とかが心配になるが、床や壁などもゴーレム化する事で防犯とか強化とか色々と簡略化できた。
　夜には一先ず形にはなっただろう。
　まだまだ細かい改善点は残っているが、その辺りは使っている間に変えていけばいい。
　従業員達が暮らす部屋も追々充実させる必要があるんだし。
　今後は肉袋青年とか蟻人少年達に頑張ってもらう事にして、今日は夜空の下でバーベキューをして大いに楽しんだ。
　新鮮な肉に、新鮮な野菜。多種多様な酒が用意されたバーベキューは非常に美味しく、飲めや歌えやの大騒ぎ。
　うーん、やはり酒と肉は美味いもんだ。
　出発は明日に決めたので、次に蟻人少年達と一緒に喰うのはしばらく後になるだろう。
