Volume 6 - Chapter 10 – To Blue Land’s Fort (1/2)

06-10 To Blue Land’s Fort

The next morning, Jin got up early and was looking outside from the second floor veranda.

It was already March. The salty breeze blew from the distant sea and brought the smell of spring with it.

“Jin-kun, good morning.”

Jin turned to face the voice, and it was Elsa. She was still wearing the devil silk sleepwear.

“Good morning. Did you sleep well?”,

He asked, Elsa said yes and continued,

“Tatami. Futon. Very comfortable to sleep in.”

Jin was felt relieved by the answer, then asked,

“Eh? Tatami?”

Elsa nodded.

“I voiced my whims and the golem maid laid out one.”

“Aqua did? Huh, wasn’t that thoughtful.”

Jin admired her volition. Since the golems had a Magi Link with Jin and Reiko, it seemed like they were growing little by little.

“This is a nice place.”

Elsa said as she stood next to Jin and looked out at the scenery from the veranda.

“Haha, thanks.”

Jin responded, and because Elsa was still her sleepwear, asked,

“Aren’t you cold?”,

And took off his coat.

Elsa accepted it while blushing slightly.

“…Thank you… Back then too, you lent me your coat.”

She said.

“Today, I’ll be taking you all back to Blue Land after breakfast.”

“Mmh. I actually wanted to stay longer, but I guess I have to.”

While saying so, she inched her body closer to Jin.

“Good morning! Jin!”

A cheerful voice. In a flash Elsa made space between her and Jin, and looked around. Jin also looked around.

“Good morning, Beana. You’re up early.”

“Yes, the morning of the commoners is early.”

Beana said and glimpsed at Elsa who was wearing Jin’s coat. Beana who had already changed her clothes to her ordinary ones whispered,

(I should’ve come in my sleepwear too…)

“Huh?”

It seemed like she was too quiet to be heard.

“I- It was nothing! What a good view this place has.”

“Right? Look, you can see the sea in the distance.”

“Oh, that’s true. That’s the sea isn’ tit.”

The morning was a peaceful time.

After finishing breakfast, Jin again took the lead of the golem horses with Koma, and they warped to Blue Land.

Since this time everyone was wearing pants, unlike yesterday everyone had their own horse to ride.

In less than one hour they had arrived at the edge of the forest.

“Sorry about this, but around here we need to get off the horses.”

Jin remembered well what Reinhardt had said yesterday. It would be better for him to avoid unnecessarily displaying his craft.

“I’m reluctant to part with them, though.”

Reinhardt who had given the advice was the first to dismount his horse, then Elsa and Beana followed.

“Koma, good work.”

Jin said, and told Koma and the others to go back,

“Now then, let’s go.”
