When the carriage passed through the gate of the ducal townhouse Li stepped down.

Because her mother was there.

“Mother!”

“Li!”

There was not a trace of distress on her mother’s face.

If anything she was filled with delight.

Li was the same.

“It’s so big!”

“Right? Amira helped me too.”

Before Li noticed Amira was already standing nearby, puffing out her chest proudly.

Then she held her head out toward Li.

Perhaps she wanted to be patted.

Li looked at her mother in confusion and saw her nod.

So it seemed that interpretation was correct.

As Li gently stroked Amira’s smooth hair her younger sister quietly lined up beside her.

Behind her stood her younger brother.

Then even their mother joined the line.

“Mother too?”

“Of course. I worked hard.”

Li had always been weak to pressure.

She ended up patting her mother’s head as well.

After that moment Li once again looked up at the giant golem that could practically be called a structure.

Or rather she was not even sure if it should still be called a golem.

Its overall shape resembled something from an anime Li remembered from her past life.

However it was not as refined and it was not armed either.

Nor was it colored.

It was simply a massive stone statue.

And it was sticking its head out of the ground after destroying part of the ducal residence.

Fortunately there were no injuries.

All the servants had already been evacuated.

“With a giant golem like this we could probably reduce casualties during monster subjugations.”

Her mother explained it proudly.

“But there are still many problems. Amira also wants to place it in the dungeon.”

“What kind of problems?”

“The biggest issue is that the mana duration is short. And even though it’s called a pseudo magical creature it isn’t very intelligent. It doesn’t listen to instructions very well.”

“But it looks cool.”

Amira seemed to like it quite a lot.

“In that case, how about controlling it from the outside by interfering with its mana?”

The massage chair that used pseudo magical creatures only carried out simple commands.

That was because Li had designed it that way.

However a gigantic humanoid golem was completely different.

Even making something walk on two legs was extremely difficult.

Still Li possessed knowledge from her previous life.

So she suggested something similar to remotely operated robots.

But then Li paused.

This world already had naturally occurring golems.

How did wild golems move autonomously?

Those were real magical creatures, not artificial pseudo ones.

So what was the difference?

“That’s exactly it. I tried that method too.”

Her mother paused there and looked at Li.

“And that was the result.”

The mana contained within the magic jewel alone was not enough to move it.

So with Amira’s help her mother tried controlling it through mana interference.

However controlling the strength was difficult and only the upper body rose, destroying part of the ducal residence.

So she cut off the interference.

“Shall we try making it stand up?”

Li attempted remote mana interference.

After all, Li possessed the cheat ability Mana Control granted by the goddess.

Once she could interfere with it the rest was easy.

Bang.

With a loud crash the ducal townhouse suffered even more damage.

The giant golem stood up straight.

It was so tall that one had to look up to see its face.

“Oh? Li, you moved it so easily.”

“Mm. If it’s Sister, she can do it.”

It was huge.

Though in Li’s memory it was about the size of the clock tower she had seen in the northern lands during a business trip in her previous life.

Even so it was more than large enough.

Although it was still before noon murmurs began rising from the surrounding area.

Naturally something this large attracted attention.

However if they tried to make it sit down the damage might grow even worse.

Just as Li was wondering what to do she saw her father’s carriage arrive.

Mother and daughter approached him together.

“Veronica, Li.”

The father watching this pleasant scene had his eyebrows tightly furrowed.

“What exactly do you plan to do about this?”

His cheeks twitched.

Seeing their father the two of them tilted their heads in the same direction at the exact same moment.

““Who knows?””

Their voices overlapped perfectly.

Even the words they spoke were identical.

As if the situation meant nothing to them at all.

“Honestly…”

Their father pressed his hand against his forehead in exasperation.
