Volume 5 - Chapter 11 – Experiment (2/2)

The bathtub which is the size of a public bath, is also luxuriously made of marble.

「Ahhh, a bath after a long time is as good as expected.」

Said Jin as he stretched out. Reiko doesn’t enter the bathtub and sits straight in the washing space. This is how it usually is.

However, Jin saw it…

「Reiko should also get in, it feels good.」

「No, because it is unnecessary for me.」

「Don’t say such a thing. Because we are in a bathroom, soak in the hot water, that way I’ll be happier.」

Because of Reiko’s response, Jin happily gave a father’s order, and for an excuse poured hot water onto herself then silently entered the water.

After Jin beckons Reiko to come next to him, he begins to pet her head.

「Thank you for everything you do. I’m grateful.」

Then Reiko stared at Jin in surprise.

「Father does not need to thank me, you can just order me freely.」

「Idiot. I told you before, you’re my daughter.」

「…………」

After that, a rumor that Jin is a girl doll lover spread among the Firentsiano residences maids by the maid who was driven out.

「I will take care of the young lady.」

On the other hand, Elsa was in another bathroom with another maid. It is Mine, a nurse who carefully looks after her.

Although she was still a little anemic, she looked after Elsa.

Elsa usually took off her clothes by herself, but left it to Mine this time.

「The skin of the young lady is always so beautiful.」

She praised her as she was undressing her, and noticed the ring on her left hand ring finger. She then remembered that Elsa had said she was given the ring by Jin after being attacked by a robber in the daytime.

「My lady, that ring….」

「Hm?　I got it from Jin.」

「W-w-why on that finger!」

Originally, Mine had a bad complexion due to her anemia, however,

「Because it was just the right size for this finger.」

To Elsa who was speaking so plainly, Mine let out a weak sigh.

「Look, milady, the left hand ring fingers are the fingers of love. You are only supposed to put an engagement ring or a wedding ring onit.」

「R-Really? Is that so?」

A flustered Elsa was rare. Because her mother and many other adult females had rings on that finger, she was thinking it was more adult like.

Mine said that she would talk about it in the bath, and two people slowly entered the bathroom.

＊　　　＊

In some unknown country, in some unknown location.

An unknown man was talking to another unknown man.

「……Prototype Golem 11 type 2 has been destroyed.」

「Hm. And that means?」

「Yes, that….」

「What happened?」

「…..It was too brief, I couldn’t detect it.」

「What?….. Is that so? An excellent person seems to exist in that country.」

「I have no excuses.」

「Oh well, it is good. This stage is still making an experimental product and trying its power. A few losses are inevitable.」

「Yes sir.」

「However, knowing how to destroy and taking countermeasures, a golem close to being invincible should’ve been completed. I see.」

「Yes, it’s as you say.」

「Alright, continue as you were. By the way, what happened to that man?」

「Huh? Oh, is that fellow who left the Elderite smuggling? The smuggling came to light and it seems he was placed on a wanted list by the company. He is a useless person.」

「Hmph, you should use it and crush it.」

「That is to say?」

「That’s it. Give the type 20 an experiment.」

「I-is that….」

「I don’t mind. Try it when you have a chance.」

「Understood.」

The conversation came to an end, and silence came.
