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.)
