Chapter 6-22: Volume 6 - Chapter 22 – Love Talk
06-22 Love Talk
On the evening, Jin had the Royal Secret Maid Laila guide him to the bathhouse .
“Oh, Jin?”
“Ah, Earl Kuzuma . ”
There, Earl Kuzuma had also come to take a bath just then .
Jin was about to leave and come back later, when,
“Just the right time, I wanted to have a little talk with you . Won’t you get in with me?”
The Earl said to Jin . Having been explicitly invited, Jin couldn’t refuse . They would go in together .
“Oh, you don’t have to come with us . ”
The Earl ordered the maids to wait outside the bathhouse .
Could the talk be about something important, Jin thought and put himself on guard a bit . Although, in truth, Reiko was invisible with [Stealth] and had secretly followed them in .
“Ahh, taking a hot bath is so comfortable . ”
Earl Kuzuma stretched out and relaxed in the bathtub . The tub was fairly large, enough that the 180-centimeter tall Earl wasn’t a bit cramped in it .
The Earl was a thin person but still had some muscle, and Jin felt a bit bitter about his meager build . Because no matter how much he trained, he couldn’t gain muscle .
“What was it you wanted to talk about, Earl?”
Jin couldn’t relax so he asked about the topic .
“Oh, that’s right . The talk . ”
The Earl looked up and down and again up and down over and over as if he was thinking about what to say .
He repeated that several times, until finally it seemed he had come to a decision .
“Jin, what’s the relationship between you and Beana like?”
“Huh?”
Jin reflexively let out a silly voice . All the more because he had been wondering about what kind of a complicated thing the Earl wanted consulation with .
“It seems like you’ve given Beana a lot of support, and the other day you invited her to your place . It also looks like Beana is very open with you . ”
Once he opened his mouth, the Earl kept on talking .
“She’s… Brave, that’s right, bravehearted . Despite not being by any means blessed with a good environment she studied to be a Magi Craftsman, brought up her brother and sister, and no matter how many hardships she went through she remained pure . ”
“Uh, huh . ”
That was the only thing Jin say under the Earl’s zeal .
“And I think it’s praiseworthy how she uses her skill for the sake of the masses . She’s also beautiful and…”
After firing all those words out in a single breath, the Earl finally came back to his senses, blushed, and held his tongue .
“Earl…”
No matter how dense Jin was, after hearing that much even he could make the connection .
“Ha ha ha, cheer up . Ever since I first saw her, she’s held a place in my heart . ”
While giving a sideways glance at Earl Kuzuma who had left the bath and was pouring water on his head, Jin thought about how to answer .
For a short while afterwards, he had been made to listen to more of Earl’s love-talk .
It seemed like he was serious . He wasn’t thinking about social status or anything like that at all . Surely he could make Beana happy .
“Sigh . ”
While drying his dripping hair with a towel, the Earl took a glance at Jin as if urging him to answer . Jince sensed that and opened his mouth to answer .
“Beana is something like a troublesome young sister . ”
It was the same answer he had given to Reinhardt . When he heard it, Earl Kuzuma’s expression immediately turned cheerful .
“Is, that, so! She’s, like a, sister, to you!”

And then, keeping that expression,
“In that case, could your sweetheart be Miss Elsa?”,
He asked . Since he now knew Jin wouldn’t be on the way of his love, he had regained his cheerful mood .
“N- No, Elsa’s a… slightly unreliable younger sister . ”
Hearing that, Earl Kuzuma said,
“Hmm, so both of them are like sisters to you . Could it be, you like more mature women like that Rianna from the Royal Secret Maids?”
The moment the Earl said that, from somewhere a sound like a crash could be heard .
“Hm? Is someone…No, there’s no way . So, how is it, Jin?”
When asked, Jin muttered that’s a good question and shaked his head .
“The type of woman I like is the type the woman I like is . ”
It was almost like Zen dialogue .
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
As one would expect, the Earl didn’t quite understand and raised his eyebrows .
“Well, I’ve got no one like that right now . ”
Jin said, to which the Earl said,
“While you think that, for example suddenly the destined one for you may appear . Just like for me!”,
And left the bathhouse .
Jin was left alone lying in the bathtub . There,
“…Father . ”

“Oh, Reiko . ”
Reiko cancelled [Stealth] and appeared . And then, out of the blue,
“Father, do you prefer mature women with large breasts?”
Jin, who was leaning on on the bathtub slipped and slid down .
“Wh What are you talking about?”
Jin, now half-sunken in the hot water, was flustered and got out of the bathtub .
“I want to become bigger . ”
Reiko’s sudden request baffled Jin .
“He- Hey, Reiko, what’s gotten into you?”
“If Father prefers larger women, then I…”
Jin gave a flick to Reiko’s forehead,
“You dummy . There’s no way I’d come to like just anyone only because they had large breasts, don’t you know?”
Jin soothed Reiko’s worries, and she said,
“But, Elssan said that Reinhardt-san prefers women with large breasts . ”
Oh, that time, Jin thought . She did say that ‘Rai-nii has always been soft with women who have large breasts’, if he remembered correctly .
From that you could read between the lines that ‘he prefers women with large breasts’, but why did it become about me and have you gone blind, Jin thought .
“As I keep saying, Elsa, and Beana are my friends . And you’re my precious daughter . I love your face and your appearance very much . ”
“Are you sure!?”
Looking at Reiko who was about to, no, who was actually jumping for joy, Jin said,
“And that’s why you shouldn’t worry so much about other girls . ”

“…Understood . ”
The remaining problem was whether she really understood it or not, but it was bad to monopolize the bathhouse so much, so Jin got out of the water .
In the passageway outside the dressing room, Laila was…sitting down on the floor while dozing off .
Jin was troubled with what to do with her for a while, but he decided to wake her up after all, and he tried prodding her head .
“Huh!? An enemy raid!?”
Laila sprung up and flipped her skirt, and unsheathed the knife she was carrying on her thigh .
She also completely cut apart her skirt .
“Eeeeeeeeeeeeek!”
Laila screamed as her short bloomers and thighs became exposed .
Precisely then Elsa and Beana arrived to take a bath .
“Jin! What are you doing!”
“…Jin-kun, is a beast?”
Utterly misunderstood,
“I’m innoceeeeent!”
The shout from the bottom of Jin’s heart echoed through the aisle .
