little girl.
“Come on, Aji. Breakfast is canned boiled beans!”
“Woof woof!”
little girl.
“Come on, Aji. Bean stew I always ate for lunch!”
“bruise!”
little girl.
“ruler! oh hey Dinner is a bean patty I made! But this time, there was no meat, so I made it only with beans!”
“bruise! … bruise?”
little girl.
“Come on, bean curd made from yesterday’s soybean remnants. I left it for you to eat!”
“bruise… ?”
little girl.
“Voila! Steamed Beans! wow, oh my god You can steam beans too! This way, the flavor is concentrated and the taste is a little more intense!”
“bruise.”
little girl.
“aah. Today is special! Special beefy bean stew! Hey, it’s twice as much as usual, twice as much!”
“… .”
little girl.
“Are you going around the rotation slowly now? Then, today, beans… .”
“Wow! Wow!”
“aah!”
In a way, it was predictable, and in a way, it was also ungrateful.
Even humans, the lords of all things, cannot escape from the hell of canning beans that are repeated every day, but a dog dares to eat!
… To put it bluntly, I was getting tired of canned beans, so I had to look for other ingredients. However, over the past few days, some problems have overlapped and overlapped, and the only remaining ingredients are canned beans that can be stacked to make a castle. If you eat all of this, you and Aji’s bodies will turn into sundaes stuffed with soybean stew.
There is only one way to solve this situation.
“hey! Captain Abbey! Are you listening!”
When you open the cupboard in the dining room, between the iron pots that have been erected, a stout golem is sitting with its arms and legs hanging down. There is a hideous hole in the shoulder part of the returner’s sword, and the body is full of scratches. Even the iron pot, which had been plagued with fire and oil from the moment it was born, was clean compared to the golem.
It was a pitiful mourning, like a doll abandoned because of lack of interest, or a homeless person who lost his home and was taken care of under a bridge. To the extent that I couldn’t even imagine that it was a magic golem that the military was proud of.
You don’t have to be sympathetic. That golem is, after all, a Synchro-type Magic Golem, and its controller is an elite elite officer. The pilot is probably watching this while drinking a glass of iced beer in a comfortable and comfortable place.
It is said that the golem’s body is suffering, but it is only a tragedy beyond the wall. Just as a tragedy that cannot be overlooked in reality sweeps the mainstream of literature, this golem is also satisfying the gloom that cannot be felt in the present life with the golem, right?
It’s embarrassing when I think about it. Shall I put this golem in the toilet bowl? It’s like you’re not even logged in right now, so if you feel like you’re being tortured, you can get rid of this misery… .
“What did you come here for?”
“Aww, that’s a surprise!”
I was startled by the sudden movement of the golem, so I missed it, but managed to catch it. The golem, who almost fell to the ground, looked up at me slowly.
“Please be careful. This aircraft is largely damaged, so it is difficult to withstand an impact beyond this.”
“Gosh. I’m sorry.”
Carefully set it down on the table, the golem slumped over with a creaking body. I scratched my head and sat down on the table chair.
“I was connected.”
『Tantalos is a level 5 security facility. It is the main building’s job and duty to observe the interior of Tantalus. It cannot be neglected even for a moment.”
you’ve been working hard
I’m just sorry I feel a little guilty because I feel like I saw them busy working right after they cursed. It’s not even the time to eat right now, but seeing what’s here, it seems like they check it very often.
“Anyway, you’re just in a restaurant, aren’t you? Are there any rumblings in the restaurant that there is something to watch out for?”
“I can’t do anything. If we get out of here, other trainees will try to destroy this aircraft. However, in the restaurant, it is fortunate that you and the dog king can watch each meal.”
“You know me? What are you going to do when you see a person being sick of a dog?”
“At least you don’t know that you’re alive. Just knowing if you are alive is worth it.”
“My life?”
“Positive. The military is very interested in your life or death.”
It’s a little embarrassing to hear that. I guess the military cares so much about my well-being.
The military, who considers welfare and safety as luxuries, is watching with interest, so I find it strangely moving… .
“Because you are a litmus.”
litmus. A test paper used to determine whether a solution is acidic or not, and a slang sometimes used by the military.
What does that mean? To the military, my existence is no different from a litmus paper. If it turns bright red when you put it in, the inside is dangerous, so be careful.
In other words, it is the scapegoat first sent down to determine whether the abyss is safe or unsafe.
Now I know. Why were you ordered to survive? Maybe that’s what I was expecting in the first place.
I am becoming a more pessimistic citizen today, but the golem added a word to that.
“If you are injured by someone’s attack, we ask you to shout out the identity of the perpetrator with a death sentence before you die. Then, the home country will make a more objective evaluation of the trainees based on your testimony.”
“hem? This golem is speechless. can you finish it off? Do you want it to stop working while screaming at my name?”
“It’s not a bad story for you either. Because it can add a negative rating to the real culprit who killed you. Even if I die, I will be able to close my eyes comfortably.”
“Is that what a man would say? I don’t want to close my eyes comfortably! I want to live because it is okay to get cataracts after not closing my eyes for the rest of my life!”
Enraged, I grabbed the golem’s leg and lifted it upside down. The golem swayed helplessly, making a rusty sound from its joints. As he hung upside down, more urgent words came out of the Golem’s microphone as if he had come to his senses.
“Stop right now. I strongly request you to stop violence without reason and release this aircraft.”
“You are right to say this is violence without cause, you piece of scrap metal!”
I was about to hit one with my hand, but a hard-looking body caught my eye. If I hit that, will my fingers hurt?
Tools are what you need for times like this. He took out a Diamond 1 card and changed the card into a skewer using alchemy. Then he pointed a sharp skewer at the body of the golem.
The golem with the blade in front of it shouted hastily.
“Stop right now. I warn you seriously. If you damage this aircraft, your evaluation could be severely penalized… .』
“You haven’t disconnected yet? then.”
Before disconnecting, you should hit it while the pain is still shared.
A thin, slender iron skewer can be a pole by itself. I swung my skewer and hit the golem in the cheek. There was a squeaking noise.
“Aww!”
“It’s tough. If you stop sharing pain sensations anyway, you won’t feel any pain.”
“positive… affection. This aircraft is a golem. These actions are pointless. I strongly request you to stop immediately, ugh!”
Another hit while talking. A small moan was heard as if the pain sharing had not stopped.
I raised my rod and muttered solemnly.
“But punishment is more meaningful in the act itself than in pain. Even though I’m a golem, I feel like my heart is being ripped out when I hit that cheek.”
How unfair is this? I slap the golem in the cheek saying that I will punish him, but the person inside actually cuts off the connection for a while and then comes back. In real life, he might be swearing at me while drinking a cold drink. Ugh, thinking about it makes me cry.
great. Let’s get rid of all this hatred with a stick.
I hit the golem hanging upside down very hard. I heard the sound of metal hitting each other. Did I hit about a dozen or so? I was afraid it would really break, so I stopped and put it back on the desk.
The golem was lying on his back on all fours with his hips raised as if he was in real pain. A shrill voice came out of the microphone.
“… In evaluation, reflection… .』
“No, really, stop being rude. You stopped sharing your senses. Anyone who sees it would think it was completely synchronized with the golem.”
The golem glared at me. The body made of minerals somehow feels like a resentment towards me. The answer to the question of whether tin dolls can contain emotions was here.
why not. Am I wrong? Maybe it wasn’t all right. Not even a masochist.
“… This aircraft is the few remaining communication type magic golems. For the stability of communication, this aircraft must never be damaged. Even if this was not done, a defect in the shoulder area caused a malfunction in the synchro function, but any impact beyond this may cause irreversible damage to the aircraft.”
“So instead of stabbing you, you hit it with the side.”
『That stimulates nociceptive synchro… .』
The golem, who stopped talking with a grunt, stood up in a more sloppy posture than before and said.
“… therefore. If you’ve been at the restaurant for a few days to dine, your visit to the main building seems to indicate that you have a request. what happened?”
“ah. right. please spread it There is a shortage of fresh food.”
“Are you talking about dissemination?”
Golem asked as if it was ridiculous.
“Did you attack this aircraft while you came to the main building to ask for supplies?”
“a. it’s an attack between us. Let’s call it light skinship.”
“I think hitting with an iron stick is called light skinship.”
“Still, I only hit golems, the military slaps humans. To be honest, compared to me and the military, the military has nothing to say.”
“… I ask again. Did you attack the main aircraft and criticize your home country while you came to the main building to ask for supplies?”
The golem stared intently at me and said.
“Your request is rejected.”
“No, why?”
“I think it will be sufficient to consider your remarks a while ago.”
“Are you really being mean? Are you trying to retaliate personally by abusing your power?”
“Private retaliation is only part of it. There are legitimate reasons for rejecting the supply request.”
There is personal retaliation, then. Is it okay for a soldier of the military to say that out loud?
It was absurd, but I am the one who regrets that I need to supply it now. Let’s get down and go inside.
“Come on, let’s hear the reason. What is it?”
“Two days ago, supplies were dropped on Tantalus. You must have received supplies. If there is enough food left, requesting additional supplies is a waste of resources and abandonment of the mission. The supply chain will not repair it, and the main building will not understand why supply is necessary.”
“Simply put, why are you asking for another topic that was distributed the day before, you pigs?”
“If you understand, there is no need to repeat it. In conclusion, further dissemination is impossible.
The golem just cut it and said. He had a cold and hard attitude, as if he had become a real steel doll.
Embarrassed, I protested.
“The supply box only had canned beans! I’ve only been eating canned beans for the past few days, and should I continue to do so? Are you going to make us live Meju?”
“denial. Supplies must have included bread and milk as well. You are speaking lies.”
“What are you talking about? The resistance that hid it all ate up. Why are you looking for me in their stomach?”
As I spoke irritably, the golem jerked his head as if he had been struck by an accidental blow.
“… I didn’t hear well. Could you tell me again?”
“So, the Resistance hiding in the supply box survived by eating all the non-canned food. So we have nothing to eat other than those damn canned beans. You saw it too. For the past few days we’ve only eaten beans. It’s hard for me and Aji to live on beans alone, so I’m asking for some other food.”
“The Resistance has been hiding in Tantalus?”
The golem remained silent for a long time, then suddenly began to question me.
“Why are you saying that now?”
“Why? You have to get supplies.”
“Didn’t you think that reporting the intrusion was more important than the supplies?”
“Is that important?”
“Positive. It’s natural. So, what happened? What happened to the intruders?”
“They were about to detonate a bomb, so there was a battle, and the invaders were eaten by the vampires after the battle.”
The golem touched his forehead with his moving right hand. The posture was so realistic, I could be sure that the main body controlling the golem was also in the same posture.
“Isn’t that a false report?”
“Would I just eat canned beans for a few days just to get more supplies? If you need other evidence, look up the name Kanissen Riverwood. He must be on the wanted list.”
“Please wait a moment.”
The light faded from the golem’s eyes for a moment. It seemed to have been disconnected for a while to check. After a while, the golem moved again.
“… Has confirmed. We believe that your remarks have sufficient credibility. There is no way for you to check the recently updated wanted list. It would be reasonable to think that we met in person.”
“Keep it up. So, will you give me supplies?”
“Is that important now?”
“Of course it is important. Aji, tired of beans, is slowly trying to eat me. It’s much scarier than the Resistance, who has already died and became food for vampires, a growling chick just by opening the lid of a can of beans.”
Once again, the golem raised his head and made a pained noise. A deep sigh escaped the microphone.
“… I will request additional supply. However, in this case, it is necessary to listen to the situation and make a decision from the superior, so please cooperate.”
“If you give me supplies, I will do whatever it takes to listen to the situation. How can I tell you? fairy tale style? Or is it theatrical?”
“I would like to ask you in the form of a statement.”
“I see. Now, once upon a time, there was a beautiful village where a watermill would spin and pump water and a rainbow would form like a zelkova tree. A river where the clear water flowing from the mountain along the river, a merchant looking for a milestone to the sea, the story they have brought up, and the dream of a boy who grew up listening to it flow side by side. There a boy named Kanisen Riverwood… .”
『Statement.』
“Ew. there is no romance Statements are not interesting.”
The reason the hand is separate from the mouth is to ensure that the mouth does not interfere with what the hand is doing. My hands were empty as I explained how to do it to the golem, and my hands naturally found work.
What I found was canning beans. Now that you’ve done all the tricks you can do with these damn canned beans, it’s time to clean up.
He opened the pile of canned beans one by one and told the golem what had happened.
“therefore. They’re trying to smash Tantalus with bombs. So, I took the backseat with the gods of Cheonji, Geongon and Chukjibeop. At the stealthy, sudden approach, they rushed in like terrified rabbits. When I threw the can of beans I had in my hand, the cans of beans exploded like a grenade and wiped out the enemies… . Oh, I’m sorry. How far have you heard?”
“I made a plan to destroy Tantalus with a bomb, and I confirmed it.”
“Ah yes. therefore… .”
It was time to pour the canned beans into a large pot while explaining.
to fight There was a loud noise running down the hallway. The identity of the loud, thumping footsteps, which clearly reveals its presence, could be guessed without even reading the thoughts.
“Mung, I hate it!”
Aji, who came in after kicking the restaurant door, came up to me and hung on me. He grabbed my waist with both of his arms, and clenched his arms and sleeves with his teeth and slapped him. It was a desperate attitude. I’m sure I’m doing some kind of witch’s terrible alchemy.
“no! Beans, I hate it! bruise! stop!”
“Oh hey. I feel like my body will be torn before my clothes are torn, so will you let me go?”
“bruise! Woof woof!”
If I hated beans how much, I would have been frightened to hear the sound of the cans being opened.

Meanwhile, military uniforms are unnecessarily strong and do not tear easily. As much as that, my hand swayed from side to side following Aji’s rumble. That alone is in danger of dislocating the wrist.
Having barely calmed Aji, I poured the last can of food into the pot and said:
“This canned bean is not for us to eat.”
“bruise? really?”
“okay. How do you eat all this? I will give you this as fertilizer.”
I poured water over canned beans in a pot to complete something similar to bean porridge. Aji raised his tail and glared at the pot full of beans like life and death. After exchanging his excitement, he gruntedly grabbed a heavy pot of beans for 20 cans and headed towards the inside of the warehouse.
There is a large corpse with all its limbs removed… body that looks like. I lowered the pot aloud near my head with my eyes closed.
Then, the right arm of the immortal jumped off, scooping out the sticky bean porridge and carrying it to his mouth. No matter how you looked at it, it was not edible for humans, but as long as it was nutritious, the right arm seemed to be independent of shape or taste.
Well, the right arm without a tongue can taste it.
“It was a little creepy at first, but it’s okay to treat me like I’m growing a plant.”
It will probably take a day to eat it all. I closed the warehouse door and left. In the meantime, Aji was lowering her posture with her tail upright in front of the door, and when she saw that there was no pot in her hand, she barked happily.
I approached the golem with Aji and said,
“Did you see it? You shouldn’t try to feed Aji more beans.”
“I understand the circumstances, but the hearing of the circumstances has not been completed yet. Please finish explaining.”
“Oh right. How far have I been talking?”
“We even talked about the fact that the remnants of the Resistance were planning a bomb attack.”
“what. you’ve done everything That’s it. We worked together to stop them, and we gave them the body of a vampire. End.”
The golem abruptly got up and raised his fist. what? I couldn’t read my thoughts, so my reaction was slow for a while. Are you trying to fight me? Unfortunately, no matter how weak I am, I can’t hurt myself with a model like this.
Gently move the fingers of your left hand to catch your attention. In the meantime, the right hand, which had swung back, returned to the back of the golem.
“yap.”
A golem that collapses quickly when you tap it. He quickly moved his left hand and bent his raised arm back to subdue it. The golem struggled, but he couldn’t escape without his right arm not moving properly.
He patted the golem’s back with his fingers and muttered quietly.
“Claim down, claim down. Calm down, Calm down. If you have any complaints, calm down for a while. Being excited doesn’t help.”
“… If you are deliberately mocking the main building, I will tell you that I succeeded.”
“Are you kidding me? Not at all. There is some misunderstanding.”
As I said that, there was a large, happy smile on my face that even myself could recognize.
iced coffee. I am so happy that there is an existence that I can overcome with my own strength. I wish there were a little more of this kind.
“bruise! What about my food?”
please. I wish there was one more
Woof!Woof!
