Let’s go meet the dwarves!

 
 At any rate, it was already late and naturally, everyone looked sleepy, so I got Eph to stay tonight.
 Eph is sleeping in the Bamboo Princess’s room. The fluffy guys were all split between them.
 Then the next morning, we had breakfast.
 
 ”This meat is delicious. What the h**l kind of meat is it?” (Eph)
 
 I was worried that meat might be too heavy in the morning, but Eph ate it heartily. She ate so much that I wondered where it all fit in her small body.
 Perhaps, does it all go to her chest? Well, in any case, I told her it was Tyrannosaurus meat, to which she was surprised.
 
 ”A Tyrannosaurus isn’t the kind of opponent you can just go hunt! It’s the kind of opponent we run away from once we see it!”
 ”Really? Well, I’ve got my favourite magic excavator, so it’s fine.”
 ”That thing you showed me yesterday? You can fight with that?”
 ”Of course. Magic heavy machinery is the strongest! Got it, Eph? When it comes to magic heavy machinery…”
 
 From there, I told Eph about the beauty of magic heavy machinery.
 
 ”I-, is that so…”
 
 However, for some reason, it felt like she was pulling away while only giving suitable responses. Why, it’s such a wonderful thing—
 
 ”I think Wirk is a good guy. But when it comes to things like this, it’s a bit disappointing-nanoja.”
 ”Who are you calling disappointing?”
 ”Unii~…”
 ”Koo~…”
 
 Huh? For some reason, I feel like Uni and Kani have an atmosphere about them as though they’re saying “yare yare”…
 
 ”Well, anyway, I’ve thought about it, and I am interested, but is it really fine to go to the Dwarven Country?”
 ”Of course!”
 ”Is that so. By the way, should I be concerned about my clothes and such? Although I say that, I don’t have much clothes, but…”
 
 I’ve got some changes of clothes, but nothing that fancy. If it’s work clothes, I’ve got plenty of options.
 
 ”Ah~… although we’re more or less called the king and princess, I wouldn’t say our country is much of a big deal, so you don’t need to worry about such things. Papa is basically covered in dirt in the first place.”
 
 What a cruel thing to say! What a harsh girl.
 
 ”But if you’re coming, I’d be glad! I’ll welcome you!”
 
 If we’re being welcomed, then it’s settled. Then we immediately got prepared.
 
 ”Te-, what’s this!” (Eph)
 ”It’s just a magic truck?” (Wirk)
 ”Uni♪ uni♪”
 ”Koo~♪”
 ”It will also be the first time riding it for Me-janou.” (Bamboo Princess)
 ”Mogu~♪”
 ”Mogu-♪”
 ”Moguu♪”
 ”Mo~gu~♪”
 ”Mogu mogu♪”
 
 Eph was looking outside and saying “amazing, amazing”. The magic truck is also important for architecture. Since it’s useful for suddenly transporting raw materials.
 By the way, Kobelco got in the cargo bed. Originally, the maximum number of people that can ride in front is three, but if it’s everyone other than Kobelco, there’s enough space for them with the Bamboo Princess and Eph stroking them.
 We could more or less go there by walking, but that would be a lot of effort. I also thought of getting them to experience the magic architecture’s lineup of vehicles.
 Then, we were driving there like that, when suddenly a lot of large rocks fell right before our eyes and blocked the path.
 
 ”UhohohohoooOoo!”
 
 A giant, four-armed gorilla roared and dropped rocks.
 It landed with a thud, shaking the ground.
 
 ”Tha-, that guy! He’s Four Arm Kong! You don’t see him around here often, but he’s bad…” (Eph)
 ”Is he strong?”
 ”He’s strong. His power is also amazing. This guy might be able to hurl those large rocks…”
 
 I see. That really is some considerable superhuman strength.
 
 ”Go-!”
 
 Then Kobelco got down from the cargo bed and challenged the Four Arm Kong. After all, he is a power fighter.
 
 ”UhohohooOooOOO!”
 
 As Kobelco grappled with his opponent, the gorilla, another on came from behind, no—
 
 ””UhohohohoooOooOOo!””
 
 Three more. Quite a lot appeared.
 
 ”No way, why’s so many Four Arm Kongs appearing, hey, this is even worse!”
 
 Eph became greatly panicked. To the point of being flustered. So it’s an opponent that even the dwarves, confident in their strength, would think is dangerous.
 
 ”Right. Even Kobelco can’t take on all of them, so could everyone pleases get off for a bit?”
 ”Umu. I see. I understand-noja!”
 ”Eh? What you going to do when we get off?” (Eph)
 ”Do as he says-noja. Get off quickly.”
 
 The Bamboo Princess got out of the truck with Eph. The fluffy guys didn’t want to get off though. Well, if it’s just those guys, it’ll be fine.
 I transform the magic truck into the magic excavator.
 There are many of them, so I made it the large-sized excavator, and this one also has double arms.
 The gorillas came near me and struck, but they didn’t damage the excavator at all. I didn’t want to just keep taking their hits, so I fell back for a bit, and when they followed, I violently spun the main body around and slammed them with the bucket.
 I then picked up the Four Arm Kongs in the fork and flung them away.
 
 ””Uho-! Uho uho-!””
 
 Soon, they realised they were no match, and the three of them ran away. The one Kobelco was dealing with also ran away. I won’t force myself to kill them. I won’t pursue those that have left. [TL: “去る者は追わず” seems to be an expression that basically says “don’t chase after those that willingly leave”]
 
 ”A-, amazing… you got that many monsters to run away.” (Eph)
 ”I-, if you’ve got magic heavy machinery, you can do this much. Kobelco too, thank you for helping.” (Wirk)
 ”Go-!”
 
 I stroked Kobelco to show my appreciation, and he raised his arms, seeming delighted.
 Now, the large rocks are blocking the path, but this kind of moment is magic heavy machinery’s time to shine.
 The magic crusher crushed all the rocks. After crushing, the magic bulldozer tidied up.
 
 ”Now, let’s go.” (Wirk)
 ”What the h**l, so many amazing things happened that I don’t even know what to ask…” (Eph)
 
 Eph was speechless. Hmm, I thought that the dwarves would have the technology to do something similar, but is that not the case?
 Anyways, let’s hurry along…
