Chapter 48: Reinforce

Saturday night. I, Layla, and Yukine gathered in front of Layla’s workshop in our Otherworld.



“It has nearly been a month since we started our plan to make a Golem of our own. Sorry for making you wait so long.”



Seeing Layla elegantly bow as she said so, I figured the time has finally come.

…I say finally, but isn’t a month quite fast when it comes to making a Golem?



“Well then, let me show you the newest addition to our force right away. Our first prototype Golem, Reinforce!”



Layla opened the door to the workshop as she declared so. Inside, what seemed to be a workbench was pushed aside to open up a large space in the center of the room. And standing in that space was one Golem.



“Ohh…!”



I unintentionally let out a cry of astonishment. Covering the Golem’s 180cm-high body was a mainly black armor with many sharp angles. The armor for the head and torso were partially coated in silver, while the other parts had yellow lines imprinted on them.

Other notable features were the horizontally protruding portions of the shoulder guard, and also the waist guard that was spread like a skirt. It was a design that greatly excited my youthful heart. It looked so much like what the rival or maybe final boss would ride in a mecha anime…!



“Amazing, just amazing, Layla! You’re the best!!”

“While I’m thankful for the praise, please take a closer look at it first…”



With great excitement, I had approached the Golem, err, Reinforce and inspected it from all angles when Layla hesitantly said so.



“…the Golem, for some reason, I don’t feel any magic power from the, ahm, its external layer.”



When I looked back at Layla—wondering what could have been the issue—I noticed that Yukine was tilting her head quizzically.



The external layer? Does she mean the armor?



Upon hearing Yukine’s question and turning my gaze back to Reinforce, I confirmed that there really was a weaker concentration of magic power on that part. There was a metallic luster there to be sure, but it looked sort of cheap…



“Just as you might have guessed, while the ‘main unit’ of the Golem is complete, its armor isn’t. After all, the only pieces of armor we were able to get the other day in our exploration were the ones for its right arm and both of its legs.”

“Ahh, I see.”



That explains the armor. But by main unit, does she mean whatever is inside that armor?



Because it was a Golem, I felt magic power from it. I wasn’t a mage and thus wasn’t so great at sensing magic power other than my own, so the fact that I could sense magic power from the Golem was something for sure.

But I got what Layla was trying to say after some thinking. Basically, everything was complete except for the armor. If it was a mecha or something, the armor part would be like the skin and thus might be needed for the mecha to be considered complete. But, well, this was a Golem.



“I made this faux armor to confirm sizes and also to give us a better image of what it will be like once it is truly complete. Reinforce, discard your armor.”

“Understood.”

“!?”



When I looked at the direction where I suddenly heard the voice from, I of course saw nothing but Reinforce there.



“Wait, it can talk!?”



The voice was muffled but it definitely was a woman’s.



It was surprising that the Golem had both voice recognition and even responded orally. But then again, having to input commands through typing or something while inside a dungeon was hard, to say the least. And it responding through voice was welcome too.

As I thought that, Reinforce removed the armor from its head like a person would remove their helmet.



“…huh?”

“I had a feeling it would be like this.”



I was dumbfounded while Yukine had a faraway look. We were like that because of Reinforce, of course. I mean, instead of the bare wires and the boorish Golem features I was expecting to be underneath the helmet, there was the face of a beautiful girl. She(?) had long, almost-glittering gold hair tied to the back of her head and also jade-green eyes.

I was still dumbfounded when Layla, who had been beside me, moved to help remove the armor. As the pieces were removed, I was able to see the amazingly sexy body underneath. Each of her boobs was probably the size of my head. Enormous indeed. Her ass and thighs wouldn’t lose to her boobs too. In contrast though, her waist was reasonably narrow.

However, her shoulders as well as her knees and shin were rather slender. So slender that it made me wonder how those shoulders could support those breasts.

And…how do I put it? Her innerwear was…so sexy. She wore a tight-fitting suit similar to those that appear in those late-night mecha anime. You know, those that make you ask if the suit was designed as a sort of survival strategy—through sexual acts with their armpits and thighs—in case the character becomes a POW. The black suit against her clear skin plus her voluptuous body made for an incredibly lewd sight.

Having finished removing her suit of armor, Reinforce stood there nicely.



“Once again, this is the main unit of Reinforce. Equipping it—”

“Wait, wait, wait a minute”



When Layla was about to resume her explanation as though there was nothing wrong, I got her to stop before I knew it. I looked Reinforce up and down—noticing her torpedo boobs as she stood so confidently, as well as the aggressively high cut of her suit—to confirm my thoughts. I must insist it was only to confirm and not for any other motive!



“What’s the matter, master?”



Layla! It’s not fair when you tilt your cute little head like that! And those stuff of yours!



“What…just what, what is this?”

“Forgive me, master, I do not understand your question. So, all I can say is that this one is the Golem I made.”

“Yeah, I get that part, but ahm, the problem, so to speak, is, uhh, why did you make it look like a girl?”

“I see. Our plan was to store the Golem inside an Item Bag when we wish to bring it outside of our home base, correct? However, we also expected it to be able to act as a guard for your parents in case of emergencies. Because of that, I thought the Golem looking as close to a human form as possible was best.”

“O-okay?”

“And if I was going to put in the effort make it look human, I might as well make it have a face and body that look pleasing to you. Is the design I settled on…perhaps not to your liking?”

“Nah, I quite like it.”



She had those huge things and that sexy body, after all. And though in the end she was just a Golem, well, she was also a Golem. Speaking as someone with numerous dirty mags themed on expressionless androids saved on my phone, I was frankly quite turned on.

Be that as it may, I wanted to call Layla out on it. Thrust it to her face even, but not in any weird way, seriously.



“Is it that? A Flesh Golem, I think it’s called”

“It isn’t. It was made with the Slime extract we bought, along with stuff like resin from the dungeon, so it is actually a kind of Wood Golem. However, I have made it so that its texture is that of a human’s.”



Layla calmly answered Yukine’s question.

Thinking on it, I recalled that we did order materials for the Golem. I remembered that it was ridiculously expensive too.



“Master. There is one more reason I made the Golem take on a female form.”

“And that is?”



Despite her usual smiling face, there was a gleam of seriousness in her eyes. With some effort, I managed to return her gaze. Given her seriousness, she likely wasn’t going to say something like “if you look at the Golem’s inner suit from behind, you can see her whole ass”

My eyes drifted down on her chest all on their own, but just before the glance lasted long enough to be a stare, I thankfully managed to look away. I swear, I didn’t think ‘gigantic boobs are nice but large boobs are nice too’, really!



“It’s to conceive children.”

“Say what?”



No, seriously, what?



“The only partners you have at the moment are myself and Yukine. Continuing like this will likely hinder your chances of leaving behind an heir.”

“O-okay”

“And so, while I haven’t installed it just yet, I plan for Reinforce to have an artificial womb and have you pour your seed into it. The likelihood of you being intimate with another human seem exceedingly low at the moment, so this might just be the only option left.”

“You think so? Really?”



Did she perhaps think I was someone who would never ever be in a relationship with a human girl? …but, I can’t really deny that, can I? I mean, I’m already in a relationship with both Layla and Yukine, so from a person with normal values’ perspective, I must be a real piece of work, right? Besides, I couldn’t imagine myself being with someone else after breaking up with these two.



“But I see. It makes sense.”

“Agreed…”



Yukine folded her arms under her large breasts and nodded.



…my word. It looks like Yukine’s isn’t at all smaller than Reinforce.



“I’ve said this before but we Yuki-onna are fiercely jealous creatures. However, if the other party is a Golem, we can accept it as our husband’s kin—err, preference. It’s just one of those kind of sex.”

“Why did you avoid saying kinky sex but still said sex? Shouldn’t that have been the most important bit to censor?”

“My issue is in the one who will donate the egg. Even I’m not petty enough to be jealous of the egg donor…but if she ever claims that the child is hers, who knows what I’m going to do to her. That child is OURS, no ifs or buts!”

“The child isn’t even born yet…”



This looks like bad news. Yukine’s looking farther into the future than me.



Yukine even stared into space and whispered ‘fufu, I’m gonna be your mommy, little one’. People doing air guitars were common enough, but it was the first time I ever saw someone pretend like they were holding a baby up high.



“Wait, Layla. Isn’t there a glaring issue with this?”

“You will get to choose the egg donor, of course. In the worst case, we can get the egg through buying them.”

“No, that’s not what I’m talking about.”



That’s obviously not the issue. I mean, that is an issue to touch on, sure, but before that, there’s an even more fundamental thing.



“Artificial wombs for humans…those things haven’t been invented yet, have they?”

“!?”

“Oh, today’s your first day in kindergarten, is it…mommy’s so happy…”



Layla’s face went from smiling to serious and then back to smiling again. It was unusual for her, but cold sweat began running down her face.



“I see…I should have expected nothing less from you, master. It didn’t even cross my mind”

“Oh, you. You can be real dumb sometimes, you know that?”

“My, a Mother’s Day gift…!? These flowers are so beautiful, aren’t they…”



I wasn’t an expert on it obviously, but I thought that artificial wombs for animals were at best at the experimental stage of development. Even assuming that the development was finished though, there were the ethical issues to consider, making its implementation and distribution to the public uncertain. For the moment, artificial wombs existed only in science fiction.



What made her jump to using artificial wombs anyway? I don’t want kids that badly right now, you know?



“It looks like we’ll have to put this plan on hold. And after I’ve informed Father and Mother of the news.”

“What the heck are you doing? Why would you tell them such a ridiculous thing?”

“The two of them were so happy about it though. They even said ‘so long as we get to see the face of our grandchild…’

“What nonsense are those two talking about!?”

“Ahh…you’ve grown up so well…I’m so happy. Just remember that one of the 3 bags that are key to making your married life happy is remembering your parents.”



My god, are my parents more worried about that than I thought? Do they really want to have a grandchild that badly? I mean, I imagine most parents won’t be too worried about that while their son is still in high school, right? Or is it because they think my preference is that worrying??

…whatever the case, I should go talk to them properly later. After readying myself, of course.



“Anyway…I’m putting a stop to anything related to artificial wombs. It’s not something someone in high school should be worrying about, so let’s just follow the common sense of the world on this one, yeah?”

“Understood. Should I then change Reinforce’s appearance to be more appropriate for combat? At this stage, such modifications are still very much possible.”

“…a-ahm, no. I mean, you’ve worked hard on her current appearance, right? And there’s no real need to make changes, right? It’ll just be a waste to change it now.”



Getting rid of those boobs is so damn wasteful!



Obviously, that wasn’t my reason. I had gone to the trouble of buying and collecting the dungeon-produced materials, so to make changes now would be akin to wasting those materials, something I couldn’t do easily. I mean, those things weren’t cheap. I had determined that finding those materials myself was unreasonably hard, so I chose to buy them. It was a decision on my end, but still, it hurt my funds. I would likely have to explore the dungeons again soon…



“Understood. I am pleased by your outstanding sexual drive, master. It reassures me that you will someday produce a scion in this world.”

“Listen here, Layla-san. It would do both of us good for you to learn a little of this thing called ‘sugarcoating’…

“So this is my and my husband’s grandchild…fufu, how adorable… be sure to grow up well too, ok…”

“I am your Guardian Spirit though. While your health and well-being are my first priorities, I—as part of you—couldn’t forget about the proposition that living beings must leave behind offsprings.”

“I-is that so?”

“I still think the color of the randoseru backpack should be more traditional…but then again, I guess these days, boys don’t have to get black backpacks and girls don’t have to own red ones…”



Layla, ever-smiling, raised her arms and clenched her fists as she said made that declaration. She was so cute. Moreover, her breasts were morphed in shaped from being pressed on both sides, making them sexier.



“Well then, Reinforce will stay as she is. Reinforce, greet master properly.”

“Yes”



From standing at attention, Reinforce quickly but gracefully gave me a bow, like one from a concierge in a high-quality hotel in a TV show.



Ok, ok, let me just get this off my chest. Seeing her appearance and her body, I can really only think of pink, rosy stuff”.



Her boobs bounced as she bowed and were pulled down by gravity as she held the pose. It was an amazing sight. It was like one of those trendy “stretched boobs”. Just seeing them made me think of how soft they were. And yet, when she returned to standing straight, her boobs stuck out in front of her with ample firmness to it.



“…would you like to check its ‘interior parts’ as well?”

“Uh, no!?”

“Don’t worry, this unit is ready to accept your attention anytime.”

“And I’m saying not now!”



So, Layla-san, can you please stop pushing me from behind!? And Reinforce, can you not spread your arms as though to welcome me!? Can’t you guys read the mood a little bit more!? Just a little!



“Yukine! Yukine, help!”

“My, my, our grandchild’s finally at their rebellious phase…in that case, you should make sure to always look them right in the eye and also be patient with them. Back when you were at your rebellious phase, your Dad was very much like that, you know…”



Dang it, don’t look THAT FAR into the future!!!

That evening, we had an emergency family meeting.

I patiently talked with my parents while making eye contact. Thankfully, I managed to get across to them that a lot of things were still too early for me. I also learned that they were this anxious partially because Uoyama had filled their heads with all sorts of ideas. I swore then and there to make that four-eyes cry soon.

That said, when the word grandchild was mentioned, Yukine quietly burst into tears.



What am I supposed to in this situation?

Q: Why the name Reinforce?

A: Simply because she is made to strengthen Kyotaro’s party.



Q: Kyotaro is such a pervert for getting aroused by a Golem, isn’t he?

A: In Kyotaro’s words

  • Only those who never got curious by love dolls and those that never got turned on by lewd doujins about android maids should cast stones.




Q: On the topic of artificial wombs, if a child got conceived and born through the use of one, will the parents’ abilities as Awakened Ones be passed down to the said child?

A: It might come up later in the work, but I think it’ll only have minor effect on the main story, so I’ll answer it now: the likelihood of inheriting abilities are absurdly lowered. And even if an ability was inherited, it would in a degraded state. However, if the artificial womb used was of high-performance spiritually speaking and if it was installed in a spiritually-strong environment, there probably would be no major problems.

For example, an artificial womb made of dungeon-produced materials were installed inside a Golem which used certain apples in its main power reactors.


TL note: the 3 bags that Yukine mentioned are apparently often mentioned in weddings. Roughly speaking, the three bags are: the couple’s reserve of patience, their pay envelope which stands for economic stability, and their mothers. The mother part I guess is also a “bag” because of the womb or maybe just their care. Anyway, the speech on mothers is supposedly about not forgetting their parents.
