—
[ Wow, Big Sis, you’re really skillful. ]
“…Right?”
Soon enough, a pretty decent little golem was lying on the ground.
“Hmm, it might be difficult with just wood and dirt after all.”
[ But the spell is working. Let’s wait and see. ]
“Okay.”
As Radis hugged her knees and stared blankly at the golem, she noticed someone approaching.
“Radis.”
It was Yves.
He was walking towards her, the voluminous hem of his cream-colored silk shirt fluttering softly.
“What were you doing?”
His black hair fluttered in the warm breeze.
Radis realized that his eyes were smiling.
The moment she noticed, her heart started pounding.
She hugged her knees tighter, defensively.
“…Just sitting.”
Yves plopped down right next to her.
Then, naturally, he rested his chin on her shoulder.
“Radiiis.”
“W-Why are you doing this?”
“You didn’t get any strange ideas earlier, did you?”
“What strange ideas?”
“Marcel.”
“Oh.”
She had long forgotten about that while making the golem.
“I didn’t.”
Yves rubbed his head against the side of her face and spoke earnestly.
“I really have nothing going on with Marcel. Sexy marquis and dumb aide, nothing more, nothing less.”
“I said I didn’t misunderstand! Besides, calling yourself se… whatever it is. Labelling yourself so weirdly like that just makes the situation stranger!”
“What’s so strange?”
“……”
At that moment, the dirt golem in front of them began to move.
Yves, who had been absentmindedly looking at the ground, jumped up in surprise.
“W-What is that?”
“Oh, it’s moving…!”
The golem, about the size of a rabbit, slowly stood up, shedding dirt as it did so.
Radis said,
“Come here.”
But the golem just wandered around aimlessly.
Terrified, Yves pointed at the golem and asked,
“What, what is that?”
“It’s a golem.”
“I know! But why is it here?”
“I made it.”
“What?”
“It’s my first time making one, so I just used a simple movement rune. So it’s really just moving around. It will probably wander around for a few days until its life force runs out. It’s just made of wood and dirt, so the mana I infused into the spell is all it has.”
Yves’ mouth dropped open.
“You… made that? The runic spell too?”
“Yes.”
“H-How did you do that? Is it possible? I want to try too!”
“Really?”
Radis picked up a piece of wood she had prepared for practice and asked.
“What should I write?”
“Write that it should follow me around!”
“Pfft—”
“What? Why are you laughing?”
“Just because.”
Radis picked up Regia and inscribed the spell on the wood.
Then she handed it to Yves.
Yves rolled up his sleeves excitedly, like a child.
“What shape should I make it?”
Radis leaned against the tree and watched him.
Although he was a head taller than her, the way he sat with his legs sprawled out, fiddling with the dirt, made him look like a cute child.
‘No, he’s actually cute? And pretty.’
She always missed it because of his long hair, but Yves had really pretty ears, too.
Radis reached out and tucked his hair behind his ear.
Yves was so engrossed in making the golem, as if possessed by an artisan’s spirit, that he didn’t seem to notice her touching his hair.
Thanks to that, she got to see his ear up close for the first time.
‘What? Why is his ear so pretty?’
The shape of his ear was perfect like a sculpture, and his plump earlobe was slightly pink.
‘Why is it pink?’
Radis thought seriously as she touched his earlobe, surprised.
She couldn’t believe how soft it was, like touching a flower petal.
“Hey, that tickles.”
Yves shuddered.
“Why? Is something on it?”
Radis quickly withdrew her hand from his ear in surprise.
“No, it’s nothing. Go ahead.”
“Okay. The legs are tricky. Wait a bit…”
Radis looked at Yves’ side profile in disbelief.
His nose, viewed from the side, was so perfect it was hard to tell if it belonged to a person or a sculpture, and his slightly parted lips, focused on his task, were utterly adorable.
Suddenly, those lips turned to her with a sweet smile and said,
“Done!”
Radis tore her gaze away from his lips and looked at the ground.
“…What is that?”
“Guess!”
“A cockroach?”
“It’s a cat! How does this look like a cockroach? Look, it even has ears!”
“I thought they were antennae… Why does it have five legs?”
“One of them is a tail…!”
“Oh, I see…”
It seemed there were things Yves wasn’t good at.
Radis, hoping that the scary-looking golem wouldn’t come to life, said,
“It will take a while for the spell to activate.”
