Now then, next is Libra of the Scales.
Yes!
Our destination is the Grave of the Black-Winged King.
It's roughly 500km from here!
That's quite the distance.
Mistress Lufas, I have a proposal!
Huh?
How about creating a golem that can transport us around?!
We have your teleportation magic, don't we?
Now that we think of it, we didn't need to use a carriage when heading to Svel either.
Teleportation magic is fundamentally for personal use.
If you want to teleport a living creature with its own will,
then you either need to render them unconscious, or acquire their consent.
However, if there's even a hint of refusal in their heart then it won't function properly,
and it's scary when it fails.
So you see, there are lots of restrictions.
In other words, it's a hassle.
We're perfectly comfortable with walking.
Not everyone is a superhuman like you, Mistress Lufas!
Walking is exhausting!
Hmm...
While we're at it,
let's include a bath and a place to sleep so we won't have to camp outdoors!
Come on, what kind of golem is that?
Oh...
We suppose...
we'll try it.

Oh!
This is nice. I think we can sleep without fear on this...
but are there no covers?
Hmm...
Oh!
Huh?
Huh?!
So soft and fluffy!
I'm unfit to be a bride now...
You're a man.
Yes, now it's complete.
Yes!
Why don't we give it a name while we're at it?
A name?
Perhaps...
I think a chic name that's not too pretentious would be good!
I think it should be a name that's easy to remember.
Right, its name will be...
Where are you going for your next vacation?
Papa's going fishing.
Mama's going shopping.
I'm going to a farm!
We can make it all happen!
Whoa!
Beaches, cities, mountains, anywhere you want to go,
just take the moving golem known as...
Tanaka!

Anytime, anywhere, it's Tanaka!
Tanaka, drive us to the Grave of the Black-Winged King.
Yes, Boss.
Wow! This makes traveling a breeze!
I knew it, Lady Lufas!
This is really comfortable!
Shall we stop around here for tonight?
We suppose so.
Tanaka, park at a decent spot.
Yes, Boss.
Now then, this area should be good.
My shoulders are so stiff.
Sniff, sniff.
What's that smell?!
It's a hot spring!
Mistress Lufas, it's a hot spring!
We made a bath already, didn't we?
This and that are different matters!
Come on, let's hop in!
I said let's get in, so let's get in!
I-I can take my turn later!
Hmm?
Oh!
That's right, you're a man.
We'll go first then!
Let's go, Mistress Lufas!
A hot spring?!
Phew...
It feels so good!
Mistress Lufas?
I'm in up to my shoulders now?
Understood.
Why are you standing there, spacing out?
You should get in too, Mistress Lufas.
Right.
H-Hold on a moment!
Are you planning to get it in without tying up your hair?!
Hmm? Yes, we were...?
You can't do that!
Hmm?
That would upset those planning to soak in it after you.
Having your long hair shed out and float on the surface would make the water look really dirty.
Oh, you have a point.
I'll do it up for you, okay?
Wait!
Oh?
We'll come to you, so don't stand up.
I may be a woman right now, but I still shouldn't look at Dina's naked body!
If I recall, the heaven-winged don't have a habit of soaking in baths
since their feathers molt frequently, right?
Sorry.
Your hair is pretty.
Is it?
Having such long hair leads to stiff shoulders, doesn't it?
There, all done.
Please take your time and soak up to your shoulders.
I know it's been a while since you could really stretch out your wings,
so let's relax and enjoy ourselves.
The water really is nice.
It's been so slick and smooth...
Traveling in Tanaka has been nice and easy,
but riding around the whole time
causes a little swelling, doesn't it?
I'm not feeling anything.
Nothing is reacting to her either.
It's all just gone, huh?
Hmm? Mistress, Lufas, what are—? Oh!
Look over there, Mistress Lufas!
It's some Adaptifrogs! How rare!
Hmm?
You don't know about them?
The pink one's the female,
and the green ones are males,
but look, please watch!
When there are too many males...
Hmm?
Some change sex to mate with the extra males!
It's so mysterious, isn't it?
They used to be male,
but changing their sex changes how they feel too,
and they fall in love with a male.
You can't help it.
It's not like that!
Wow!
Don't you ever come back again!
Mistress Lufas?
We should get out soon.
Right!
Thanks for letting us go first!
Your turn, Sir Aries!
Oh, thanks!
I'll go enjoy a bath then.
So feminine!
Grave of the Black-Winged King
It's excessively huge.
Yes, it is excessively huge.
This is Lady Lufas's grave... right?
Why is there a whole village around our grave?
Hunters and adventurers trying to conquer the grave come together here,
so some merchants hoping to profit off of them settled around it,
and just like that, the number of people living here grew.
So our grave is a sightseeing destination.
It really has become a tourist attraction.
The graves of great people known throughout the world
often tend to become tourist destinations for later generations.
Oh.
Lady Lufas, please leave it to me!
Hmm?
I'll scatter those fools!
How outrageous of them to come together so they can ransack your grave!
Hey! Stop it, you stupid ram!
Enough, Aries.
There's no need to cause undue commotion.
B-But!
We shan't hear it.
First of all, the fact we're here right now
means that really isn't our grave.
We don't think anything of them trying to ransack such an unimportant place.
If you say so, Lady Lufas...
That was close!
He gets pretty crazy when it comes to me.
Does this mean there's a chance that all the Twelve Heavenly Stars are like this?
Hmm?
What is this?
Oh!
Umm, excuse me!
Has something happened here?
Hmm?
A special reconnaissance team went in about two months ago, but...
They still haven't made their routine check-in for today.
Yesterday, they said they were close to the top floor and on the verge of conquering it,
so everyone was excited, but...
Let's go.
Yes!
Libra should be on the highest floor.
We need to retrieve her fast or there will be more casualties.
Libra might be too much for me,
but please let me handle the riff-raff!
Hey! Hold on, ladies!
Hmm?
Are you planning on going in?!
The special reconnaissance team we mentioned
is composed of fifty powerful men recognized by the nation!
Even those guys have struggled with this!
So the three of you...
don't stand a chance!
We're grateful for your concern.
Though your concerns are unfounded.
There shall be no further loss of life on our watch.
Oh? A golem?
Oh, it's one of the ones you mass-produced for the final battle against the Seven Heroes!
That explains it.
It was our golem?
No wonder it's high level despite its slipshod construction.

Apparently the large number of golems left over after that battle
have been roaming around this grave.
For two hundred years...
Hmm.
We don't sense any intent to attack.
The golems we made are designed to distinguish friend from foe.
So even after all this time, they still recognize us as their master?
We'll reach the top floor soon enough.
Hey!
H-H-Hey! Why only me?!
Mistress Lufas, please help!
Umm, I know I was guilty of it too...
But her presence was so faint that even the golems forgot her...
Oh well, guess we'll save her.
Hmm?
We won't let you!
This is why we told you to wait!
Leave this area to us, Hawk's Eye!
Their coordination isn't bad,

but it's useless.
One blow and they'll be dead before the golem goes down.
Aries, assist them.
Yes!
Leave it to me!
Wha?!
I-Incredible!
Awesome, awesome, awesome!
Young lady, how did you do that just now?!
Calm down, adventurers.
You're flustering Aries.
Oh, sorry.
Also, Aries is a man, not a young lady.
A man?!
I could have sworn he was a girl!
Ow!
Can it, Jean.
You're being a nuisance.
Y-Yeah, sorry about that.
We came in to save you all,
and got rescued instead.
Thank you.
We're still grateful for the spirit you showed.
Thank you so much!
R-Right!
We're glad to hear you say that.
You're a nice person, aren't you?
A nice person, huh?
I'm Jean. I'm an adventurer, class is Warrior.
Same, I'm Nick, a Light Warrior.
Sorry our leader caused trouble for you all.
I'm Richard. Class is Heavy Warrior.
Nice to meet you.
I'm Shu, an Archer.
What awful balance!
They're all front-liners!
We're Sfalu, a free trader.
Our class is... Ranger.
I'm Dina, and I'm also a free trader and a Ranger.
I-I'm also a free trader, Aries.
I-I'm a Ranger?
Don't copy me like that!
You're an incredibly unbalanced party.
Are you all doing okay?
An unbalanced party of front-liners is worried about our party balance...
You needn't worry. We're all high level.
So you force it with the strength of levels?
You look quite gorgeous, but you're a bunch of muscle-heads, huh?
You're one to talk!
Want me to alchemize a giant boomerang and stick it in your head right now?!
I bet you're lacking fighters then!
We'll accompany you as bodyguards!
We'd love it if you could!
Unnece—
Huh?!
Sure, nice to work with you.
Alright, let's go!
What's wrong, Mistress Lufas?
Let's take it a little easy until we reach Lady Libra.
They've offered to come along with us,
so we should use them while we can.
Sometimes you can be really nasty!
Well, we'll just have to support them as much as wouldn't seem unnatural.
R-Right!
Good grief.
Just a little further.
We're almost there.
Yeah. We won't let everyone's sacrifices be in vain.
We're going to bring back the weapons cache, no matter what!
For the sake of humanity's future!
Intruders detected.
Warning.
I advise you to leave this space within ten seconds.
If you fail to comply or take hostile action,
then I'll use force—
I'll use force to eliminate you.
Libra of the Scales!
Please wait, Heavenly Star!
We haven't come here to fight you!
Commencing countdown.
Please, listen to us!
Ten...
The devilfolk have currently driven humanity to the edge!
Nine. Eight...
We have no choice but to come here for a way to overcome this crisis!
Seven. Six...
Five. Four...
For humanity to win,
we absolutely need the legacy of the Black-Winged King!
Three. Two...
Countdown paused.
Intruder's objectives identified.
Now recognized as enemies attempting to steal Master's treasures.
Please! Please hold on!
This complies with causes for elimination.
Commencing elimination.
We just—!
