Chapter 382
Girls’ Talk
This time, Saki and Elsa stayed over in the guest rooms on the 2nd floor . It is a Japanese styled room as requested by Elsa .
“Oh, this is an interesting room”
In the center was a Zataku and with it came the Zabuton and Zaisu .
Zataku – low table
Zabuton – floor cushion
Zaisu – legless chair or tatami chair
It seemed like Saki liked the feeling of stepping into the room barefooted .
“This is called a Tatami . I like to lie down on here . ”
Elsa flopped down onto the floor and Saki, copying her actions, lied down too .
“It’s cool and not damp at all . We can’t get this feeling with carpets”
Saki also came to like lying down .
“Yup! And then, this futon . ”
On the other side of the sliding door, there were futons spread out in the next room .
“This is really comfortable to sleep on . ”
The futons that the Golem Maids dried were nice and fluffy .
Incidentally, the futons used in Martha’s estate have all been exchanged for the same type .
And for the villagers in Kaina Village, they plan on setting the price of the futon as the price of a normal one as a special value . The manufacturer being Elsa .
“The futon that Jin-nii sent Rai-nii was one like this”
Saki followed Elsa’s actions, lying down beside her and was once again surprised .
“This is wonderful! I want one in my house now too”
That is the impression that everyone will have after sleeping on this futon .
“Then, I will make one for you next time”
“Thank you, Elsa!”
Saki happily hugged Elsa on top of the futon . This was a dangerous scene to look at .
Because it was still early and Saki was from Shouro Empire with a time difference, it was too early to sleep .
The two of them headed back to the previous room and sat at the zataku .
Saki was wearing the pajamas for guests so it was comfortable . There was nothing left to explore so Saki returned to her lax position .
In other words, she was lying down and holding her head with her hand . Somewhat like an old man .
“You never change huh, Saki-nee”
“Kufu, yeah, I am me after all . You’re well mannered as usual too, Elsa . ”
When she was young, Saki had been strictly taught manners which had backlashed and now she sometimes ends up showing herself in this manner . On the other hand, Elsa was so well mannered that it seemed like a lie that she was a tomboy in her earlier years .
“Yes, I have also been told that by mother”
“Aah, I see . As I thought, you told me Mine…no, Mine-san was your mother . ”
Just like Reinhart, Saki too speculated that Mine was Elsa’s mother .
“But, how should I put it, Mine-san back then was so fierce but when I met her today, she seems really gentle and nice . ”
“Mm, Mother is really kind . ”
Elsa showed Saki a happy smile, affirming her statement .
“Elsa, you’ve got a nice smile now . Before you left on your journey, you seemed like you lack emotions . And, how’s our meeting after all this time? Is it thanks to Jin?”
“Yes . I owe Jin-nii a lot . ”
“…I didn’t mean it that way but… I guess it’s fine . Elsa, if it’s alright with you, will you let me hear the continuation of the story you were telling me in the bath? Since this is the first time I left my country, I am really interested . ”
“Okay”

Answering Saki’s request, Elsa continued her story, stammering . Saki also sat up to listen .
She had told Saki from the day she departed with Reinhardt to the part where Reinhardt’s Schwarzlitter destroyed the Amadas Warrior in Serroa Kingdom .
“Um . After that, we headed to Elias Kingdom…”
She talked about the Golem Boat tournament she participated in the Elias Kingdom, which is also where she met Jin .
About how she started her journey with Jin . All the memories of Flathead Village, Moft Village, Hanbalf Pass .
The time when they were attacked by bandits and golems .
The time when she became friends with Hina in the Egeria Kingdom .
The Golem Party and the riot .
The time she ran away because she didn’t want to be engaged with the marquis .
The stories continued and before they knew it, it was already midnight, but thanks to the auto light-emitting AL, the two continued their story .
“I see, I understand that feeling . Elsa and that marquis don’t fit well with each other at all . That pervert . ”
When it came to the story of Elsa running, Saki was angered by the desire of that old man . She exclaimed that it’s because of him Elsa was put in danger .
“Yes… . but father probably wished for it . ”
“Well, that might be a possibility too . But, that wouldn’t have happened if that old man didn’t fall for you in the first place . ”
Saki urged Elsa to continue her story which Elsa once again, started .
The time when she was saved by Jin . The time when she was introduced as Jin’s younger sister .
The time they moved to Kaina Village . For the time being, she didn’t say anything about the fact that Jin was from another world, nor about the Hourai Island 9 or Konron Island .
The time she went to Kurain Kingdom’s capital, Alban .
The time where she met the queen of Rischen .
And at last, how she is currently learning about Magi Craft .
“I see, you have gathered a lot of good experiences haven’t you, Elsa? I am a bit jealous . ”
Saki, smiled and laughed .

“No wonder you grew up as a person too . ”
Elsa turned red from Saki’s words .
“I am still inexperienced . I am not even close to Jin-nii’s level in Magi Craft . ”
“No, even setting a goal to reaching Jin is a big deal already . Even though it hasn’t been a month since I met him, I know his level . Without a doubt, his skills are second to none in this world . ”
“Yes, I already know that . ”
“Fufu, ‘already know,’ huh? You know that fact and made him your goal, I see . Elsa, you are suited to be Jin’s younger sister . ”
“Thank you?”
Even as the night passed, the conversation between the two didn’t end .
———————————————————————————————————
“…I’m sleepy . ”
“Fwaa~, we stayed up a bit too late . ”
It was 6 in the morning . Yesterday, they requested Al and Edgar to wake them up at this time so the two of them somehow got out of bed, rubbing their eyes .
The reason for waking up at this time was for their morning bath… to enter the hot spring .
Holding their bath towel and change of clothes, they headed outside .
The early summer morning had already brightened, and the morning light shined upon the Nido Castle
”But, this is one unique castle . ”
“The view from this roof…no, the top floor is exceptional . ”
“Hou, that sounds nice . Let’s ask Jin later then . ”
As they continued their conversation, they headed into the center of the Kaina Village .
“This is the hot spring . ”

The two of them headed into the female bath . Al and Edgar were outside waiting .
They changed their clothes in the changing room and headed inside .
Today, there were no customers and the spring was reserved . They could immerse themselves without worries and stretch themselves out .
“This feels amazing/so nice . ”
“Hmmm, so this is a hot spring . The feeling of the hot water is certainly different . It feels like something is mixed with the water . ”
Like an alchemist, Saki started to examine the properties of the spring water .
Elsa didn’t bother her and enjoyed the bath . It seems they were fully awake now .
Sitting beside Elsa, Saki stretched out and looked over .
Elsa’s hair had grown a bit . Though Mine has been cutting it, it was still longer than before .
At that moment, another guest entered the bath .
“Ah, Elssan, good morning . ”
“Barbarsan, good morning . ”
There, another chest had appeared which made Saki lose even more confidence in her chest . She was the Mayor’s niece, Barbara .
“A guest?”
Elsa answered Barbara, who was looking at Saki .
“Yes, this is Jin-nii’s guest, Saki-san . …Saki-nee, this is the Mayor’s niece, Barbara . We are of the same age . ”
“Hello, it’s nice to meet you . I am Barbara . ”
“I am Saki . Nice to meet you . ”
Saki, seeing the set of bouncy hills on Barbara’s chest which swayed as she entered the bath, felt that the world is truly unfair .
“…I’m glad I am not wearing my glasses . ”
Saki, sitting in the spring, told herself that if she can see them more clearly, she will be even more heartbroken .
