Chapter 369 (1/2)

Elsa is also Obsessed

“…Brother Jin, that’s amazing. Thank you.”

While it was only the beginner’s level, Elsa had absorbed Jin’s knowledge and was now uncharacteristically excited.

“…The structure of matter, the reason that things fall, how planes fly. I finally understand it.”

Elsa had acquired an elementary to junior high school level of knowledge in science. So many things she had wondered about before were now known to her, and she was so happy and excited.

“And with that, you are officially my apprentice. But I must warn you, don’t go around announcing it, alright? You must be cautious.”

“Cautious… Should you really be telling anyone to be cautious?”

Elsa joked, which was also unusual for her.

Jin laughed and scratched his head with embarrassment before returning to the matter at hand.

“Now, the bed and blankets are ready. But we can’t carry them…”

They were too big to go through the carriage warp gate.

“Father, I think we have no choice but to wrap it up and smuggle it in quietly.”

Reiko, who had been silent up until now, said.

“Hmm, I see. I suppose there is no other way…”

And so he decided to carry it at night with an invisible aircraft.

“I might have to make a floating base near Lake Tosumo…”

Laojun heard Jin’s muttering and would later go on to make it, but that would happen later on.

“So, is this alright?”

Jin said as he looked at the blankets and bed that were to be a gift to Reinhart. Elsa looked at him and decided to ask him a favor.

“…Jin, I too want to give a present to Reinhart.”

“Yes, I see. Of course, you would, Elsa. So, what will you give?”

Elsa answered immediately.

“A mascot.”

“Mascot?”

Jin asked, and so Elsa explained.

Apparently, there was a custom where dolls were given as gifts. They were meant to protect the houses of newlyweds. Reinhart’s mother had sent one when her brother, Moritz Randol von Amber had gotten married.

“I want to make a doll like Non and give it to them.”

Non was the Japanese doll that Jin had given to Elsa on her birthday. Elsa liked it very much and still kept it in her room in Kaina village.

“I understand. You should do it then. You can use any materials that you like.”

Not that it would require that much.

“I will help you if there is anything you want to know.”

“Yes. I will try it.”

And so Jin left it to Elsa to do it on her own, and he finally went to work on the other thing he needed to do. Modifying Reiko.

“Reiko. You were watching Ehr, weren’t you? I would like to add that same ‘sense of touch’ to you. What do you think?”

Reiko nodded.

“Yes. I have no objections to what you believe is good for me, father.”

“Great.”

And so Jin informed Elsa, who was busy at work, and then headed to his laboratory on the second floor with Reiko.

The materials he would use for the sensors was the flying membrane of a sea dragon.

What moved the flying membranes of dragons was not muscle, but magic. In other words, you could freely control them with mana.

Once the flying membrane was spread open, it was no thicker than one millimeter, and yet it was stronger than steel. But on the other hand, it was soft and could be easily folded without resistance.

He could use this characteristic to make Reiko’s skin harder than steel and yet as soft as a baby.

Furthermore, it was known that the stretching and bending of the material caused magical energy to be released.

This was not only true of dragons, but any monster or beast that had wings.

However, the material that was available at the time was much worse than the wings of a sham dragon or sea dragon, and so the magic that came from it was weak. And so his predecessor had not thought to use it for anything.

But Jin believed that this skin could be used as sensors.

“Hmm. In that case, it will be necessary to differentiate between the magic from the wings and magic from Reiko.”

Jin thought about it for a while, before wondering if the pattern for the magic from Reiko and the skin might be different. “Alright, Reiko. Sit over there…yes, try opening and closing your hands.”

“Yes, father.”

At the same time, Jin used ‘Trace’ and ‘Inspection to chase after the flow of magical energy.
