I Became the Guardian of Big Shots in the Game

Imagine coming home after being away for a little over a week.
And finding a strange object in your house.
Not just any object, but a house-sized ultimate weapon that could send the homeowner to the afterlife with one punch.
A battle device that would require dozens of at least 5th circle mages working together to barely operate, standing there brazenly.
What would you think?
‘What the fuck.’
Ethan couldn’t think anything.
His heart was pounding like it would burst, but.
He started to dislike himself for calmly settling down due to the effect of his composure stat.
Only after overcoming that subtle gap where his mind had settled but fear had not yet dissipated.
Ethan finally opened his mouth.
“Yuria-seonsaengnim? What in the world is…”
“Isn’t it amazing?”
“…Pardon?”
Yuria spoke quite nonchalantly.
“Borka made the golem on the spot after seeing Kenny’s design.”
“…Um, what’s flowing out of the golem looks like holy power though?”
“Oh, that? Elyssia prayed while sprinkling holy water on the rocks, and it turned out like that.”
“?”
“By the way, Greg is holding on tight so the kids don’t fall. Isn’t his strength really amazing?”
Ethan wondered if Teacher Yuria had been hit by some mental attack and lost proper judgment, but.
“Then the letter saying there was a big problem and to come back quickly…”
“It’s these children’s talents!”
As if to prove she was a true educator, Yuria’s eyes sparkled brightly.
‘So it was just simple excitement.’
“Borka is at least a 7th circle mage. With systematic education, she could reach the legendary 10th circle! No, she might even attain the title of Archmage!”
Though it’s in the future.
The purple-haired girl sitting on the golem’s head does reach 12th circle through self-study and burns down the whole world.
The Elyssia sitting next to her becomes the strongest saint in history.
The curly-haired girl Kenny right beside her becomes the best alchemist.
‘Then the one holding onto them must be Greg.’
The future Grand Marshal who will lead the Tang army of the new Haikel Republic and play an active role in the great war.
Just by gathering those four together.
They created something that could easily force a surrender if they marched into the royal capital like this.
‘I need to do something about that first.’
People were gathering around the mansion and murmuring.
“Yuria-seonsaengnim. Can that thing be controlled?”
“Of course. They all listen well. Kids! Come down!”
As Borka waved the branch in her hand.
The golem slowly knelt down and extended its arms to the ground to make a slide.
“Kyahaha!”
The children slid down excitedly.
They all came over to Yuria’s side and lined up.
“Can you dismantle the golem for now?”
“There’s no need for that.”
The tip of the branch glowed as high-purity mana condensed and.
Flash!
It was projected towards the golem.
The house-sized golem instantly shrank to a size suitable for holding in one hand.
“This is how you do it.”
‘Miniaturization magic. And using it without mana stones.’
It was an amazing talent.
The mages of always carry minerals called mana stones like batteries.
This is because of the setting that using rough mana from the atmosphere puts a great burden on the body.
So they always carry high-purity mana stones and tend to use magic cautiously.
Of course, there are beings who can freely use magic without mana stones.
Elves or dragons who have lived for ages and trained.
It’s not an area humans can emulate.
But Borka is a being who can do that.
Borka glanced at Ethan and stuffed the mini golem into her pocket.
“It’s okay, I’m not going to take it away.”
The wary Borka hesitantly hid behind Elyssia.
It seemed it would take a bit more time to get close.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Ethan.”
“Hello!”
The most energetic Elyssia and Kenny, who didn’t have an ounce of wariness, showed interest in Ethan.
Borka clung to Elyssia’s back, trying to stop her friend from getting close.
Greg nodded slightly when their eyes met.
“Did you hear anything from Albert?”
“Yes! We heard you were looking for us.”
“Fun things! Kenny came because he said there were fun things!”
“Like this?”
Ethan took out a spatial pocket and handed it to Kenny.
“Wow!”
Kenny is a genius inventor with a lot of curiosity.
When her whole arm went into the fist-sized pocket, her mouth fell open and she ran straight into the mansion.
“Hey! Kenny! Ethan-ssi is talking…”
“It’s fine. Just leave her be.”
There’s nothing good about disturbing Kenny when she’s focused on something.
He had seen enough in the character stories.
‘The fate of the person who disturbed Kenny in the sewers of Sergafilt… Ugh. I don’t even want to think about it.’
Though it wasn’t explicitly stated in the story.
Something about becoming an ingredient for some drug.
‘Who knows? She might reverse engineer that alone and create even more ingenious items?’
After thinking that and concluding it was nonsense, Ethan.
Turned around and said to Levi and Hwaryon.
“Levi and Hwaryon, why don’t you go in and rest? I’ll talk with the kids for a bit.”
“Then I’ll excuse myself first.”
“I’ll go ahead, big brother!”
After sending the two off.
Ethan headed to the reception room with the remaining three children.
‘Those two still seem wary of me.’
Though Elyssia with her high sociability had a grinning expression.
Greg had an unyielding stoic expression.
Borka still had a very tense face.
‘There’s nothing better than this for breaking down wariness.’
Ethan took out a box from the shelf.
“Here!”
A box full of sweet cookies and candies.
It’s a snack box kept to increase Hwaryon’s class participation.
“Ooooh!!!”
The effect was perfect.
Drool flowed like waterfalls from the three children’s mouths.
“Shall we talk while eating?”
“Yes!!!”

At that time, while Ethan was building rapport with the children using snacks as bait.
Shocking news was delivered to the city hall, which was expected to be leisurely for a while.
“M-Mayor!”
“What is it, Gawain?”
“G-G-G-Go…”
“Go?”
The mayor tilted his teacup while waiting for an answer.
“Golem! A large combat golem has appeared at the White Mansion!!!”
“Pffft!!!”
Gawain became moist with tea.
“Ah, sorry. So, a golem appeared?”
“That’s right!”
“At the White Mansion?”
“That’s what I’m saying!”
‘This fellow isn’t one to talk nonsense.’
Then Gawain’s report must be true.
And the fact that a large combat golem appeared at the White Mansion means.
‘What opponent is he trying to fight this time?’
At first, it was Baron Roan’s group.
Then he handed over Councilor Enfield to the Inspection Bureau.
Recently, he heard news of winning an all-out war with the underworld of the royal capital.
Ethan was still going strong after all that.
That’s why it was even more frightening.
How far, how much stronger opponents could this person fight and win against?
And how great an ambition did he harbor?
The mayor couldn’t know.
“Mayor! You need to come up with some countermeasure!”
“Gawain, what are you doing now?”
Ailey entered at an appropriate moment and spoke.
“Chief Administrator. You saw it too, didn’t you? Such a dangerous thing shouldn’t be in the middle of the city.”
“As you said, a large combat golem appeared. Then what measures should the city hall take?”
“…Pardon?”
“Should we send the Serdin Guard to arrest the man possessing a large combat golem?”
Gawain knew better how nonsensical that was.
Even if the entire guard was mobilized, facing the golem would result in a massacre.
“That’s not what I mean. Since Ethan is the mayor’s assistant, if you persuade him well…”
“So, you want the mayor to convince the man with a war machine that if he simply dismantles the golem, nothing will happen?”
“……”
“If you were him, would you willingly dismantle the golem?”
“…I guess not.”
It would only end up being a clumsy provocation.
In the end, Gawain agreed that the city hall could not take action.
“Well then, I’ll go.”
“Mayor?”
“It’ll be fine. Would a man trying to destroy the city perform his assistant duties so diligently?”
“I’ll go with you.”
The mayor and Ailey headed to the mansion with grave expressions.
Many employees sincerely prayed for their safety.
However.
Completely opposite to what they thought.
“Ethan-nim! Can I have more of these please?”
“Ah, Elyssia likes butter cookies. Just a moment.”
“…Me too.”
“Alright, Greg. I’ll get some for you too.”
“Om nom nom nom.”
“You’ll choke. Speak after you finish swallowing, Borka.”
The mansion was as peaceful as could be.

“Wow…”
Kenny let out a sigh of admiration.
Uncharacteristic for a 10-year-old girl, more like something a man in his 40s would say.
“Amazing!”
She had lived in her hometown until she turned 10 years old.
Though her hometown was just the smelly sewers of Sergafilt, a highly developed city-state.
It was a neighborhood Kenny had some attachment to in her own way.
So even when she left her hometown following a man named Albert.
She had honestly agonized a lot and felt a little regret, but.
“I’m glad I came! As expected, my judgment is never wrong!”
Now, she had long since banished even the thought of her hometown from her mind.
Because the “fun thing” Ethan gave her was beyond imagination.
Like something she had once found among antiques, it had ancient magitech technology added.
Though the exterior was a simple leather pouch, the interior was a sufficiently compressed storage space.
The internal weight or volume never affected the exterior, and.
Therefore, it was an item that could load objects into the interior as much as the compressed space, but didn’t feel the weight when carrying it.
It was truly.
“A work of art, a work of art!”
Kenny excitedly laid out various equipment on the desk.
She carefully analyzed the structure of the spatial pocket with a magic-detecting magnifying glass she had made herself.
It was a complex and very intricately made item, and.
Replicating it would be difficult even for skilled craftsmen, essentially an artifact, but.
“I think I can do this?”
She finally succeeded in analyzing it.
Tap tap tap.
With quick hand movements, a replica of the spatial pocket, no, an upgraded version with Kenny’s techniques and subjectivity added, began to be produced.
From the time she received the spatial pocket from Ethan.
It had been just over 30 minutes.
