Full Summary[]
Momon and Nabe find themselves in a thick fog. The two are on a mission of exploration under the direction of Guildmaster Pluton Ainzach from E-Rantel. After two to three weeks the adamantite adventurers have been traveling with no end to the fog in the unexplored region that they find themselves in. The two complain about the visibility and contemplating using magic to assist them.
However, they see the fog thinning out and bright red light. They see it is a fire and two people. One is a man holding mushrooms and the other a woman of a stellar elven woman. However, Momon notices that she is actually a golem. The campers are immediately wary of the newcomers. Momon introduces himself and Nabe. The two at the fire likewise give them names the man being Himachi Dasai, a Traveler, and his golem companion Golemtaro. Momon is a little confused by the name, as in Japanese it's similar to pajamas. He dismisses as a coincidence. He notes Golemtaro and marvels at her construction, noting her to be better than Luci★Fer's work. He compliments the golem, which Himachi then invites them by the fire.
Momon is suspicious of their hospitality but decides to accept. The adventurers ask about the fog they encounter and wonder if the two have encountered anything strange. Momon is still on his guard but cannot ignore such a well craft golem is beside him with such independence. He wishes to acquire Golemtaro for Nazarick but reminds himself he must be on alert. Seeking more information, Momon casually asks if Himachi is a player, but the latter is confused by the phrase. Momon hastily explains its a term for people with dark-hair from the south in the New World.
Before they could go further sudden shocks from the earth commence and the fog becomes thicker. A yak-like creature emerges from the fog, revealing it to be the source of the phenomena. Himachi is impressed by the beast and believes it to be harmless contrast to its menacing stature and advisement from his campmates. Just as the yak attack, Golemtaro swiftly intervenes and bashes the head of the beast with her fist. The scene stuns both Momon and Nabe, with the former estimating that Nabe would not stand against that brute strength. Himachi chastises Golemtaro for killing the animal. Momon decides that since the fog issue has been resolved its best to separate. Himachi is disappointed but understands seeing that they are leaving due to his partner. The two adventurers leave discussing what they had seen, disturbed at Himachi's denseness and the ability of the golem. Momon admits that his undead are no match for that golem and resolves to look into golem construction. They decide to return to E-Rantel and report to the guild.
