Jin Relaxes, and More

Laojin kept on with his activities.

To support Jin,

1. Build a harbor for the aircraft carrier’s use.

2. Starting with Celuroa Kingdom, investigate whether or not the important people of the administration are affected by [Hypno] or [Seduce].

3. Advance investigation of submarine resources by utilizing the Mermaid units.

4. Manufacture weapons for the golems.

5. Further improve on the receiverless Warp Gate.

6. Develop an aircraft that can carry Titans.

7. For heavy work, manufacture heavy-duty golems using the Titans as the baseline.

8. Mass produce Magi Jammers and Paralyzers.

and the like were his current goals.

Furthermore, he decided to leave a watchman in the Warp Gate room. For both preventing incidents like the earlier one, and to deal with intruders.

Also, 24-hour monitoring using Mana Telecams. If Jin heard that, he’d probably think of surveillance cameras.

Jin hadn’t given explicit orders for either, but considering his goals they were necessary measures.

“Once master comes back he’ll be surprised.”

Ann working as the support smiled sweetly and said.

It may be an unnecessary addition, but lastly when Reinhardt made his regular call he instead received the message ‘My Lord is away from home right now.’

As Reinhardt didn’t have anything special going on that day that was the end of it.

Amidst the darkness, Jin and Elsa had arrived at the hot spring.

As she had missed bathing yesterday, she had stealthily consulted about it with Jin and this was the result.

Here where there was no light there were no villagers. Jin took into consideration Elsa who wasn’t very sociable.

As they had a [Light Ball] the two didn’t have a lack of light.

“Well then, I’ll be going over here.”

Jin said, then a childish voice replied.

“Then I’ll go together with onee-chan!”

Yes, Hannah also came along.

“Mm, Hannah-chan, let’s go in together.”

It seemed that even Elsa had already opened up to Hannah.

For the first time in a while Jin was in the waters of Kaina Village’s hot spring. He truly had it all to himself.

“Ahh, I missed bathing yesterday because this and that happened, huh.”

When needed Jin used the Craft Magics [Deodorant], [Cleanup], and so on, but still a hot spring was completely different.

“Elsa onee-chan, you’re pretty.”

On the other hand, in the women’s bath Hannah and Elsa were getting along well in the hot water.

“Hannah-chan will surely also become a pretty lady.”

“You think so? Do you think I can be Jin onii-chan’s bride?”

Being asked that, Elsa was embarrassed to reply as you might expect.

“M– mm. Jin-nii treasures Hannah-chan so surely.”

She narrowly managed to reply.

This time Reiko was unusually waiting outside the hot spring. The reason was that Jin had seemed like he wanted to be alone, and also she could use this chance to converse with Laojin.

“Laojin, how is it going over there?”

“Everything is well. There are many things to do, but everything is for the sake of My Lord.”

“That’s right, isn’t it? For us serving Father is enough.”
