This is "Golems and the Theory of Life" (2026) by Osamu Kanamori.

Golems are beings created from clay, resemble humans, and can be easily returned to clay through a simple process.Artificial life, long discussed within the realm of magic, is now becoming a plausible reality with advances in science.
