06-08 A Good Bath

The lunch served white bread, fish karaage, vegetable salad, and Citran juice. The dessert was Pelshka fruit.

“Yes, we performed the peeling.”

The girls’s special quality was to be able to continue such menial work far longer than humans.

Beana had a mouthful, and gave her opinion on the flavor.

“Oh. I’m not very picky. I’ve got a habit of just being grateful that I’ve got something to eat.”

Beana had some strange admiration.

It looked like the karaage was to Elsa’s tastes.

“Something in this salad’s taste makes me feel like I’ve had this somewhere before…”

“It’s fish sauce I got from Port Rock.”

“Oh! That’s it! It’s that taste! I see, so there’s a way like this to combine it with spices too!”
He received praise again. Things like Jin’s various Japanese style dressings he made in the orphanage were his forte.

“But Jin, you said you’ve lived all your life here, right?”

Beana suddenly asked.

“Uh.”

“Beana-san, if the Warp Gate’s adjustments and such went poorly it would be dangerous. That’s why it was primarily me who went to stealthily buy wheat and other things. The time Father went to Blue Land and met you was only after the adjustments were perfected.”

“You would teleport into an unexpected place.”

It seemed like Warp Gates became somewhat scary.

After lunch, they enjoyed tea at ease, and finally the tour around Kunlun Island began.

The three who weren’t used to riding like Jin were guided by the golem maids that accompanied them during the teatime. Reinhardt had Amethyst-100, Elsa had Aqua-100, and finally Beana had Ruby-100.

“This horse is interesting after you get used to it.”

“This one also moves wonderfully. Just like a real one.”

For that reason Reinhardt’s admiration could be said to have been just natural.

After an hour of enjoying the scenery… Although it was mostly just grassy plains, fields of bamboo, sparse woods and wilderness with nothing much to look at, but in any case, the group arrived at the mining site.

“This is terrific.”

Magi Crystals were carefully stored in a warehouse with a roof, while Magi Stones were stored together with other Magi Stones.

“I only succeeded it from my teacher, though.”

“Your teacher…Adrianna-dono was it? She must’ve been a great person.”
When Reinhardt said so, even though it was just for a moment, Reiko had a glad look on her face.

“There will be a good view from top of that mountain.”

The climbing came to an end after around five minutes, and to the west was the sea. Beyond the clear afternoon horizon tiny silhouettes of islands could be seen.

“Truly. Could Io Island be nearby?”

When Jin told them that it doesn’t seem like Io Island can be seen from here, the two were disappointed.

“Pretty…”
Nevertheless, it felt as if a voice like that could be heard.

They were like that for a while, but they couldn’t stay on the summit forever, and after calling out to Beana they descended.

Beana sighed and muttered at the back of the line.

As they came back to the mansion, the sun was already starting to set. The sundial in front of the mansion was at nearly four.

Jin asked, and Reinhardt was considering what to do with a pensive look on her face. Then,

Elsa expressed her wishes in a single word, and as Beana also said she would stay Reinhardt had no other option than to stay too.

“In that case, by all means use the hot spring.”,

“Yes, that. I wanted to try it.”,
Elsa said happily. She had seen a glimpse of the hot spring while in the changing room changing to pants.

Following the etiquette of ladies first, the girls entered the bath first. Soleil and Luna went along as assistants.

The bathtub was around 4 meters in diameter, made of marble and filled to the brim with hot water. Because the water flowed in and out through a structure in the bottom of the tub, hardly any dirt accumulated.

The two entered the bath after having Soleil and Luna pour hot water on them to prepare them for the bath.

Beana who rarely had opportunities to to bathe simply enjoyed it.

Elsa noticed the difference from a regular hot bath, and asked Luna.

“Weak alkalinity?”

She then stretched her body in the water, and tried caressing her feet and arms.
Elsa had a glance at Beana’s direction, then at herself in comparison, and for some reason had a relieved look on her face.

“Beana, was it?”

Beana was surprised when Elsa spoke to her.

“Y- Yes, thank you very much…”

“What’s your relationship with Jin-kun?”

Elsa nodded to confirm, and said she was interested in how Jin acted when she wasn’t around.

Beana told her about how she met Jin, and how she then asked him to help her because of the repayment of her debt and her siblings’ illness, about the lighter and refrigerator’s development, and about popcorn and the water heater, in that order.

“Jin-kun is Jin-kun after all. No matter where, he’s the same.”
Beana felt a sad feeling in her chest when she saw Elsa’s faint smile as she said those words.
