Volume 6 - Chapter 32 – Stearina and Dominique (1/2)
06-32 Stearina and Dominique
“Let me introduce myself. I am Stearina. Stearina Gamma.
“Ah, I’m Jin.”
The intellectual-looking woman called Stearina Gamma was in front of Jin, had bronze-colored hair that reached to the middle of her back and reddish brown eyes.
She was a bit taller than Jin and had a well-proportioned body.
“I’ve got something to talk to you about. Is now an okay time?”
She said and threw a fleeting glance towards Elsa and Beana.
“Uh, sure, it is.”
“Alright, thanks.”
She said and drank a sip of wine from the glass in her hand.
“Your Craft Magic was amazing. I wonder just who did you take lessons from? If you can, please tell me.”
She stared at Jin with her reddish brown eyes and said. Jin met her gaze with a searching look of his own and said,
“From my teacher.”
“And their name is?”
“It’s Adrianna.”
Jin replied, and,
“Adrianna! That’s the same name as a great magus who lived around 1000 yeas ago. Ah, I guess she must be named after her.”
She was the third person who knew the name Adrianna, after Reinhardt and Elsa. And she also made the same misunderstanding with the name.
“I see, your teacher must’ve been an outstanding person just like that ‘Adrianna’ was.”
Stearina had a little faraway look in her eyes. She then once more looked at Jin and said,
“I happened to overhear that you’re travelling with Reinhardt-sama to Shouro Empire?”
Jin replied with a short yes, to which Stearina said,
“I see, in that case you’ll have to go through Celuroa Kingdom. At that time, if you so desire, I’d like to invite you to my home.”
“Sure, I’ll try asking Reinhardt if we’ve got leeway timewise for it.”
“Well, I’ll be looking forward to it then.”
They then made some polite small talk, after which,
“If I monopolize Jin-kun too much the young lady behind us will surely get upset. And so, see you around.”
Stearina said and walked towards the direction of Reinhardt.
Elsa came close to Jin who was watching Stearina walk away and,
“Jin-kun also thinks the bigger bosom the better?”
She whispered and it caught Jin off-guard and surprised him,
“Wha-, what are you talking about?”
“…You just stared at her.”
Because Jin was an orphan she didn’t have anything like a mother. Perhaps because of that he was weak to, or had some yearning for older women.
Stearina was in her mid-30s, and the calm feel about her only gave him a vague sense of security, however saying that to Elsa was too embarassing and shameful, and so,
“I was just worried about her going to where Reinhardt was.”,
He told her a white lie. Elsa readily believed him,
“…Rai-nii does like breasts.”,
She muttered under her breath.

“Reinhardt-sama’s Schwarz-ritter was terrific!”
Maybe Dominique was drunk from the wine, as her face was a little red while she excitedly talked.
“Haha, you honor me. Your ‘Loiseau’, was it, was well done.”
“Oh, you embarass me. Though, during that commotion its three plumes happened to break off.”
“That’s unfortunate. I really wanted to see it up close, you see.”
“Oh, you flatter me too much.”
She humbly said, but in fact seemed delighted.
“I would’ve also liked to show it to you and hear your opinions.”
She said seeming regretful, and moved on,
