Meat returned, carrying the clay and breathing heavily.

"Welcome back Meat. Good job, excellent… now then, time for an experiment."

Since Meat brought the lump of clay, I accepted it and used [Cleanup] while patting her head.

It was a simple apology, but right now I want to try something out for a bit.

While thinking that, I used the [Wow] magic, [Create Golem].

I poured in magical power while kneading the clay.

"… Well, is it finished?"

"What, this?"

I created a golem the size of my palm that 'only' had three arms of different lengths.

Inserting a shaft into the center of a palm-sized bowl-like container, it was a golem with three needle-like arms stretching out from the axis.

"No no no, how is this a Golem? No way, eh, what's with its shape?"

"It's a [Clock], a [Clock]."

Right, this is a [Golem Clock]. After assigning numbers to each of the three arms, I ordered each of them with [One rotation every sixty seconds] to the first arm, [One rotation every sixty minutes] to the second arm, and [one rotation every twelve hours] to the third arm.

… That won't work. She can't see anything but the future of her Goblin Paradise.

I mended the hand of the clay golem (mini).

I turned one of its hands into the form of a shovel made of stone since it was specially made. It was pretty easy after giving it a go. After changing the shape of the clay and pouring enough magical power into the stone, it quickly took the shape of a shovel.

… Revised clay golem (mini), ver. shovel hand!

It made sense that the clay required less magical power to process than the stone. If it was a human-sized golem, it'd probably be fine to just give it a pickax if the Golem was made from clay from the start.

After experimenting with this clay golem (mini) as a prototype goes well for a while, I'll probably make a human sized version of it. Though it was long and tedious to call it clay golem (mini) each time, I didn't know if it was even a clay golem anymore since its hand wasn't made of clay anymore.

So I decided to name it. Since it was a golem made for trial purposes, an experimentation-like name would be good.

"Alright, you are Tester. Tester is your name. Got it?"

Tester, formerly known as clay golem (mini), understood what I said and nodded.

I then ordered Tester to fetch clay from outside of the cave again.

It'll probably come back with about a basketball's worth of clay. I wonder if it would bring enough materials back before I wake up from sleeping?

… It won't stop moving inside the dungeon, but I wonder about how long it'll last outside of it? I should look into that.

(Hi, I'm a little different here. I'll post five chapters a day, every day. And for every ten power stones you give me, I'll post five extra chapters during the day.)
