I am a Golem.
The incident at the Royal Castle was a very unpleasant one for me.
In retrospect, I hadn't been able to fulfill my promise to Pinky. Compared to the number of mermaids that were sold off in the mermaid kingdom, it seems that most of the mermaids that were sold off were gathered in the royal castle. It was safe to assume that there were no more left.
In the end, the only mermaids I was able to save were the three I met on the merchant ship. If I had arrived at the royal castle earlier, I wonder if I could have saved more. Well, it's going to be tough. How else would I have gotten all those mermaids to the coast? No, there's no point in thinking about that now. I'm just a golem, after all. I'm not all-powerful, and I don't have the eyes of a god. It's nothing but conceit to think that I can save everything.
I felt like sighing. But I can't.
I'm sorry, Pinky.
And so, the case of the mermaids that were sold off ended in a very unpleasant way.

I'm aiming for a certain place based on the information I got in the royal capital. At first, I thought of going to a labyrinth in the continent of Joisa, which is shrouded in a deep fog, but it was a bit far. I heard that there's a trading city called Zayhord in the northwest of the royal capital, near the sea. It's also called the school city of Zayhord. I heard that there is a big school there. At the school, people between the ages of 13 and 18 are enrolled, and they learn various things such as magic and how to fight.
Because it is also a trading city, a good number of people from outside the kingdom also enter the school. Of course, there are non-human species as well. I thought it sounded like fun, so I decided to head to the school. Maybe I'll get to see a school romantic comedy or there might be some kind of sluggish engagement breakup type of daytime drama that seems to be popular these days, so I headed to the school with excitement and joy.
--6 months later
Phew, I've finally arrived at the Trade city.
It took me six months to get here from the Royal Capital. It's no wonder I've been traveling everywhere. Because I'm hearing voices calling out to me. "Hey, Golem, wouldn't it be more interesting to go over there? The school city is not going to run away, but if you miss this opportunity, you may never see that thing again!" My inner demon whispered to me.
If I have an inner demon, then of course I also have an inner angel. My inner angel said, "That's true. The school city is still in good shape. In fact, it's better to aim for the new semester. It would be more interesting to start with the enrollment ceremony. Why don't you go over there?"
My inner demons and angels were both recommending it. Damn, my steel will is wavering.
The devil and the angel whisper to me.
"Isn't it cooler to regret doing something than to regret not doing it?
They whispered in perfect unison. Damn, you're right! What am I waiting for? You should jump into the interesting things that are happening right in front of you rather than the interesting things that might happen! And if you regret it, so be it! You only live once!
{Log: The effect of the [Enlightened One] has calmed down my excitement}
Hmm, I'm a golem, so I guess that makes me a golem student. Oh, well. I decided to take care of what was in front of me, and as a result, I took a detour for six months. Don't worry, don't worry. It was fun, so who cares?
Thanks to the detour, I got a new title, [Dragon Tomodachi]. I also got a new skill called [Breath]. But I have no mouth, so how the am I supposed to use it? I can't use the [Howl] or the [Breath] at all. What the heck is voices of the world expecting from me?
That's another story.
For now, let's focus on the trade city, or rather, the school city of Zayhord, that is right in front of us!
Since it's a trade city, money and desire will be swirling around it. There are no clean-hearted adults here. Some of the students may be able to see me. But they are over 13 years old. There is no one with such a clean heart. The minds of children in the midst of puberty are probably starting to get dirty from thinking of inappropriate things.
That's right. If you think about it that way, there will be no problem if I use my [Hidden] skill.
Now, let's go, To the School!
--At the School
When I came in front of the school, the gate was closed. There is a piece of paper stuck to the gate.
What? What's going on?
No, no way, is the school closed? Has it gone out of business? Did we just take a detour and it's gone under?
That’s impossible!! The story I heard in the Royal capital was that the school has a history and tradition of about 100 years! How incompetent, the current director! Oh my god, give me a break! Seriously! If this is just a prank, come out quickly with a flip-flop, I promise I won't get mad at you!
{Log: The effects of the [Enlightened One] have calmed my excitement}
Hmm, what a mess. This is where the school chapter ends before it even begins. My exciting and thrilling school life is about to end on the ・・・・・・ . I dropped my shoulders helplessly and continued to stare at the posters on the gate.
Just then, a carriage stopped behind me. One of the servants got out, checked the poster, and returned to the carriage. Then he called into the carriage.
“My Lady, it seems that the old school building has become outdated and a new, larger school building and dormitories have been built outside the city. It seems that classes will be held there from this year. We should go there.”
!? Wahoo! I heard it. I heard it! I guess the school didn't just go broke. Instead, there's a new, bigger school building elsewhere. Looks like my detour was not in vain. I would like to see this new school building. The many events of youth that take place there. That's what I'm looking for.
I climbed on top of their carriage, which began to move quickly, and headed for the new school building.
The school was located a short distance away from the city of Zayhord. So this is the school. It's so huge. No wonder they can't build one in the city. The ground is spacious, and the school building is quite massive. The building in the back is probably the dormitory for the students. What a rich school. I wonder how much they pay for the school. I guess its history and tradition wasn't too shabby.
The Lady's carriage pulls up in front of the inn. Two maids got out of the carriage, one with pointy ears and an elf-like appearance, and the other a normal human maid. The other one was a normal human maid. The two maids looked very well dressed, as if the lady was of high status. They look like actresses. And finally, the lady came down. She's a young lady with a rather pretty face, though she has a bit of a harsh eye. And vertical rolls. Drill hair.
・・・・・・ Oh, she looks like the kid with the vertical roll who was on the merchant ship that was attacked by that pirate ship. I mean, there is a resemblance, but there is no way that kid could have grown that tall. It's a different person. If it was that kid, I would be in trouble. That kid would have been traumatized because he saw me all covered in blood. I'm glad it's not the same person.
I quietly got out of the carriage. As the young lady entered the dormitory, I followed her into it. Even though it's a student dormitory, it's super spacious. What the hell is this? What kind of first-class hotel is this? I don't know how it works, but there's an elevator. Seriously? Another world, indeed. A group of ladies entered the building. I rushed into the elevator before the doors closed. It was a close call. I was about to get caught by them.
Oh, I can feel eyes on me. When I turn around, I see that only the young lady is looking at me with a curious expression. I wonder if she can see me, but no, it can't be. She doesn't say it out loud, nor does she try to touch me. In other words, I guess she can't see me. I suppose she must be suffering from some kind of depression in her heart. I was nodding quietly to myself, thinking that I may be losing out on some phases of my life.
Well, now that we are here. Let's see what kind of room the young lady will be living in. I don't like the idea of sneaking into someone's room without permission, but I think it's okay if I go into her new room with her and have her show the room.
Two of the maids entered the room. The young lady also enters the room. And then I enter the room. Wow, it's so spacious! I've never been in a luxury hotel suite before, perhaps this is what a suite room is supposed to be.
I got excited and looked around the room. Oh, there's even a room for the maids. I'm impressed. The young lady is something else!
I took a quick look around, bowed to the young lady with a thank you, and quietly left the room. While I was looking through rest of the rooms of the suite, I felt as if that lady was looking at me from time to time, but I must have imagined it. Or maybe she was able to see me. There's no way to be sure, though.
“Hey, Erza, Shushua.”
“Yes, what can I do for you, milady?”
“Did you two notice that there was a Silver Golem here earlier?”
“Golem? A Silver Golem?”
“I'm so sorry, but what are you talking about?”
”・・・・・・ No, it's fine. Forget it.”
I am a Golem.
The incident at the Royal Castle was a very unpleasant one for me.
