Volume 5 - Chapter 11 – Experiment (1/2)
05-11 Experiment
「Hey, Jin, it’s been a while!」
Jin and the others were invited to Marquis Firentsiano’s villa and reunited with Reinhardt.
「Elsa had trouble, too. It seems that things were serious in various ways, but it’s best that everyone is safe.」
Reinhardt says while stroking Elsa’s head and saying yoshi yoshi.
「Rai-nii, stop it. I’m not a child anymore.」
She said while gently pushing away Reinhardt’s hand.
「Why? You used to love it when I did it in the past…. hmmm?」
Reinhardt notices a ring stuck on Elsa’s finger when she pushed his hand away.
「Oh, a ring huh? The tomboy daughter also seems to have come of age and noticed it.」
Then Elsa hid her left hand in a hurry,
「This, this is not like that!」
Her face reddened slightly.
「This is a magical guard…. Jin gave it to me, I was saved thanks to this.」
Reinhardt’s eyes shine when heard this.
「I see, could you show me a bit?」
「No.」
「Don’t say that, hey, it looks good.」
Reinhardt approached insistently, but…
「No, I don’t want to. Rai-nii will surely break it.」(TLFalin:I typed Rai-nee for some reason, did I do that elsewhere? Oh well, if I did, it’ll be good for a laugh)
Elsa was blunt, but Reinhardt was unaffected.
「I will do no such thing, I promise.」
Jin couldn’t overlook such bandying works being done.
「Ah, what, Reinhardt, instead of Elsa’s, here’s another one just like it. You can have it as thanks for taking care of us.」
「Oh, I see! Sorry!」
Said Reinhardt as he received it as though he was snatching the ring that Jin held out.
「…… Not very diplomatic. Rai-nii you craftsman idiot.」
Elsa leaked out with a sigh.
「Hmmm, the base is a [Magic Crystal] of all attributes. The [Magic Formula] is inscribed, huh.」
Reinhardt immediately started his anlysis.
「Very peculiar. Magic is….. barrier…. against attack…. and protection against… shock, huh. I can somehow read it, but I can only read it. I can’t copy this.」
Still, it is a big deal to read a [magic formula] which not even Reiko could read.
Reinhardt said thank you for getting something good and gave a formal bow to Jin.
「By the way, you should take a bath before you get tired.」
After the greetings of the unconventional reunion, Reinhardt recommended a bath and rest. Jin, who loved his baths, happily agreed.
Reinhardt gave orders to he maids nearby and ordered them to show Jin to the guest room and the bathroom.
「Here it is.」
Following the guidance of the maid of the Firentsiano house, Jin and Reiko followed.
At first, they were guided to their room to place their baggage and get a change of clothes, then they headed to the bathroom.
「Please take it off here.」
The dressing room was large, like that of a public bath, the luxury of it couldn’t be compared either.
Jin declined when the maid offered to help him take off his clothes and then she withdrew.
Furthermore, there was a maid inside who wore something similar to a bathing suit who was waiting for Jin.
「Wah!」
When Jin was suddenly greeted with a 90 degree bow, he almost fell down, but Reiko supported him.
「Guest, please allow me to wash your back.」
As the maid approached Jin while saying so, Reiko also controlled this situation.
「No, thank you, because I will take care of father.」
However,
「We are also to take care of the young lady, please, leave it to us.」
The maid said to Reiko, but Reiko…
「I am an automata. I do not intend to be taken care of by a human being, and it is my special privilege to take care of father.」
Saying so, she forcibly expelled the maid from the bathroom. Jin gives a bitter smile having been given no choice but to watch.
「It is only father and I with this.」(TLFalin: For these chapters, I started at 12 and went backwards, so any signs of her being a Yandere before this, I haven’t read, Reiko’s a Yandere now?)
Saying so, Reiko pours some hot water on Jin’s back.
