Volume 9 - Chapter 25 – Martha and Mine (1/2)
09-25 Martha and Mine
On the day they had a good time on Kunlun Island, Hannah decided to stay there overnight.
Contact with Martha was arranged through Gon and Gen.
“I’ll have a sleepover at auntie’s place today~”
Jin felt peaceful looking at Hannah who had thoroughly taken to Mine.
Tired from playing for a day Hannah seemed to have gotten tired after having dinner and began nodding off.
Mine then carried her and laid her down on the futon spread out in Elsa’s and hers room.
She’s just like a mother huh, Jin thought and felt impressed as he watched them.
“Well then, I’ll be returning to Hourai Island so please take care of Hannah. I’ll come back to pick her up tomorrow morning.”
“Yes, Jin-sama, thank you for today.”
“Jin-nii, see you tomorrow.”
“Mh-hm, good night then.”
Jin said and returned to Hourai Island with Reiko.
He got out of the Warp Gate and Topaz-43 was standing there.
“Welcome back, master.”
“Ah, Topaz. What’s the matter?”
“According to Laojin’s orders, we are to be stationed here by turns.”
Jin got it when he heard her. He understood that Laojin arranged this so Elsa’s disappearance incident wouldn’t occur again.
“So that’s what it was, good work.”
Jin said and headed back to the workshop.
“Laojin, you dealt with that problem quickly, huh.”
Jin conveyed his gratitude to Laojin through a ManaCom installed there.
“Yes. I decided to temporarily station the maid golems there. I was thinking that in the near future having full-time golems dedicated for that task would be preferred.”
Jin agreed with him.
“Mh-hm, that’s right. Once the current mess is over with let’s make them without rushing.”
Then,
“Have you got anything regarding the weapons for the golems?”
Jin asked.
“Yes, I think that swords and shields are needed after all.”
“Mh-hm, it’s orthodox but good. But a normal sword would be boring, huh…”
Jin who had completely relaxed suddenly had a good idea.
“A Vibration Sword…Let’s make the Magi Adamantite blade vibrate at an ultra high speed.”
With Magi Adamantite he could make a sword thinner than usual with no worry of the blade chipping. By making it vibrate at an ultra high speed using magic techniques he should be able to make a sword that cuts through anything, right? That’s how Jin was thinking.
If Jin added a security feature that made them usable only by golems they probably couldn’t be misused, and without diffusing Magic Energy into it Magi Adamantite was weaker than regular Adamantite.
“A Vibration Blade, is it? Understood, I will try.”
For a weapon like this, with permission from Jin Laojin could do the development without bothering Jin about it.
“My Lord, Reinhardt-san made contact as arranged. It appears that today he met with a Magi Craftsman from Celuroa Kingdom and had a somewhat interesting time.”
“Huh, I want to ask Reinhardt about it later.”
Jin said while yawning.
“My Lord, you must be tired, please rest.”
The night came an hour earlier on Hourai Island than Kunlun Island. Jin was also a little bit worn out.
“Father, even Laojin thinks so. Please go to so sleep for the night.”
Reiko suggested, being also worried about Jin’s health. Jin obediently did as told.
“Ah, I’ll do so.”
Reiko followed him to the bedroom. Then,
“It seems Father has completely returned to normal, I’m glad.”
She muttered in a voice so hushed no one could hear it.

The next morning, Jin warped to Kunlun Island before breakfast.
The local time on Kunlun Island was six o’clock. That was just after when Hannah had woke up.
They met in the mansion’s washroom. Even though Hannah was surprised, she continued washing her face with the water from the tap.
“Good morning, onii-chan.”
“Good morning, Hannah.”
Jin and Hannah exchanged morning greetings.
“Did you sleep well?”
“Yeah! You know what, I slept with auntie!”
“With Mine? I see, that’s good.”
“Yeah.”
Then Mine and Elsa also arrived.
“Good morning, Jin-sama.”
“Jin-nii, good morning.”
“Good morning.”
After exchanging morning greetings, the four went to look outside. Today too the weather was clear.
“Ya~y, good weather!”
Hannah was running around happily in the garden in front of the mansion.
“Jin-sama, are you perhaps going to see off Hanna-chan today?”
Mine came over and asked. Jin nodded.
“In that case, I would like to go too to express my thanks for taking care of Elsa.”
“I see. Sure, let’s go together.”
As he knew what Mine was feeling, it was decided that after breakfast Jin, Hannah, Mine, and Elsa would all go to Kaina Village.
The breakfast was bread with thin slices of smoked meat, salad, and Citran juice.
Hannah helped with making the salad, while Elsa sliced the smoked meat and squeezed juice out of the Citran.
“It would be good to bring some Citran as a souvenir too.”
