Hill Returns to University Life

Seeing the shop owner coming over to greet him, Hill hesitated a little.

He somewhat understood why Eco Golems like this had appeared.

A Gnome shouted in his somewhat shrill voice, "Welcome! What would you like, customer?"

"I'd like to look at the golems." Hill turned to look over the shop's stock. They had all the usual varieties, from Wood Golems and Tin Golems to Iron Golems.

"What kind would you like, customer? Besides those in front, we also have the very popular Wax Golems~ Their appearance and feel can be customized, satisfaction guaranteed~" The Gnome shouted words that made Hill's mouth twitch.

Hill lightly tapped his small shoulder and hung a section of man-eating vine around his neck. "If you can't learn to shut up, you'll never be able to speak again~"

Boel stiffly drew an X over his mouth, then covered it with both hands and squatted off to one side.

Aska hesitated. "One of the long-eared folk?"
