"May I ask what you are doing, Master Damien?" Emma asked me while I was at my desk.

"I'm currently writing down a list of skills and spells I made for the past couple of days."

Since I'm capable of making my own skills and spells so easily, I need to write them down to keep track. That and I'm also planning to practice with them, so I don't use too much mana when I activate [Absolute Domain].

So far, after some experimenting, I got some good skills down. There was the [Penance Wail], [Anesthesia], [Mending], [Hyno Barrier], and also a new one called [Confess], which is basically a skill that allows me to get my target to confess their crimes. It's kind of like [Penance], but instead of experience your crime through your victim's eyes, you get your target to tell you all the crimes they've done from stealing to murder.

Sadly, when I came up with this new skill, Gamma wanted me to say some stupid line like in some action movie. I wasn't able to deny his request due to his continuous badgering.

Anyway, after I finished writing down my new skills and spells, I closed my journal and decided to deal with something I've been neglecting...

"Master Damien..." Emma spoke up. "Please give me a thorough explanation as to why Father's Quin is damaged."

The automaton looked at me with a piercing gaze, clearly upset by what happened to the Quin and possibly why she wasn't informed of this immediately.

So, as you can tell, the condition of the Quin Carrier is pretty damaged. It can still fly and such, but there were a lot of dents and scratches on it, though. Plus, some of the metal platings were bent out of place too.

"W-well, we ran into a bit of a problem when we went to go after Nocticula..."

"And that problem resulted in the current Quin's state?"

"P-pretty much, yeah..."

Damn those wendigos...If I had known those bastards could use the ballistae, I would've set up the defensive barriers instantly before entering the town.

I would tell Emma this, but something tells me she wouldn't spare me from a scolding, which she's about to likely get into with me.

"Hah..." Emma sighed, looking at the state of the Quin. "Repairs will take some time, but I'm capable of restoring Father's aircraft."

"I-I see..." I wonder if I dodged a bullet.

"However," Emma continued, making me sweat heavily. "I request assistance to help with the repairs."

"O-oh...okay. I can help you with fixing up the Quin." I'm willing to do that, as long as I don't get scolded.

I remember the last time I got scolded by Emma after accidentally breaking one of Desmond's inventions by accident. It was horrible. I had to kneel on the floor while Emma scolded me for about an hour. She was really upset.

"Apologizes, I believe I wasn't clear with my request," Emma suddenly said. "I appreciate you agreeing to assist in restoring the Quin, but what I intended for my request was for you to build some helpers for me."

"Ah, I see now." So, that's what she meant. She wanted some extra hands to help her out.

I guess that means I need to make some golem helpers for her. Now that I think about it, I've never made a Golem before. Also, I'm pretty sure those Knight Golems are still broken...

I got some work ahead of me, huh...

...

A couple of hours passed and I'm now currently working on my first golem. Making a Golem is basically the same as making that one doll from before when I first discovered Desmond's hidden base.
