After that, Hayato and I decided to take a bath together, since we were both Japanese, so we decided to take a bath.
The water was good, and we didn't feel stressed by the bath since we knew we were both Japanese.......
And after all, it's nice to relax in the air-conditioned alchemy room after the bath.
I'd like to drink coffee milk anyway, but well, there's no such thing, so fruit water is fine.
''Wow, it's cool.''
Let's go upstairs to cool off a bit.
I love it. I wish I could have been there.
You're right. Well, I guess we can go in with the guys upstairs.
That's boring! I'd be bathing with a young man, so it would make sense!
I wonder what she's talking about again.
Oh well.
Let's soothe our burning bodies so that we don't catch a cold.
Anyway, the sofa is free, so sit there, Origor.
We took a bath for the first time, but it's too hot....
Yes. Anyway, why is Sir Eliodarte's latest air conditioning tool here? He's not supposed to be the one to make it for you...
'I don't know, Darwin just left me there. 'Sir Eliodarte, so you're an alchemist and a nobleman?'
'Darwin? It shouldn't have been sold yet, and I wonder if he is acquainted with Sir Eliodarte. Lord Eliodalt is a count, like me, by title, but he is one of the best alchemists in the kingdom. He is known as an eccentric who doesn't respond to anything other than his own interests, and refuses orders from the king when asked to create something that doesn't appeal to him. However, his skills are very good, so he seems to be very useful to the king.
'Heh. Well, the alchemists I know are also freaks. Like Rainrich...
I took out the fruit water that Wendy had cooled for me with water magic from the magical space and handed it to Hayato and Origor as well.
''Ah, say it, say it.''
Give me a break!
''Haha.... Well, a genius is just a lot of weirdos, isn't it? Although they are valued in the royal capital, there are quite a lot of weirdos.
'If you're a nobleman, well, it's a good thing you won't have the chance to meet him when you go to King's Landing.
I don't know...
Oh, I see. I'll do this, Hayato. It's hard to give it to you when everyone else is around.
'What? Boo hoo!
When Hayato showed me the standard reaction of spewing fruit water in his mouth, I jerked it off.
The one I took out from the magical space is the familiar vibrator.
I made it an orthodox one that looks like a pink quail egg one size larger.
''Hey, this is it!''
Oh. Here's the product I made 40 million nol.
'What are you making? It's pink--
'Oh Hayato, the name of this is a vibrator. Don't make the mistake of calling it a lo-fi.
What's the point? What's that? How do you use it?
Hmm? Oh, and I'll give one to Oligor, do you want to try it now?
What?
Yeah, that's right. So this is the product that Yashis bought the exclusive rights to. It's signed, isn't it?
It's from the original world, but it's my original here.
Yeah. So what do you need to do?
We'll start with the magic.
Hey, wait a minute! Are you going to use it here and now?
Yeah, that's not how Hayato knows how to use it. It's usually done like this, against a stiff shoulder.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. This feels so good.
Huh? Oh, oh! So it's as a massage device. Surprise.....
'Well, the downside is that there's a part of you that I can't get to. I'm thinking of modifying that one to be more like a sesame hand.
'Heh. Or rather, the vibrations are amazing. A vibrating sphere shouldn't vibrate so much.
Well, it's a combination. Yashis got the King's permission to sell it to me, so I can sell it in a big way.
'Oh, ah, ah, ah, ah!'
''Wow........ I didn't expect to see something like this in another world.......
Isn't that a good idea? I could have built a bike or something, but it's not safe to ride here.
Well, can I have it?
Oh. As you wish! Use it.
It's a free-for-all.
It's perfectly safe, so why not use it for whatever you want?
As you wish.
'Well ... oh, by the way, Letty has been telling me lately that her shoulders are stiff, so can I give it to her?'
'Well that's okay, isn't it? It's something I already gave to Hayato.
'Um, yes. Bye.
Uh-oh, uh-oh, uh-oh.
Shut up, Oligor.
You know, I love the vibrations. I love it.
It seems that even if Yasis is still sorting through them, they're still waiting their turn. I wonder how much money he's making from the nobility.
Oh. You're out of stock. Thank you. I think I've made a very good friend. Just give me a call and let me know when you're ready to try it out.
Yeah, I get it. It's nice to hear from people who actually use it. I'll get you a great one.
'Ha, ha, ha...'
Actually, I've already made a prototype.
However, I don't want you to look at this as the same kind of product because if you sell it to Yashis for 5 silver coins, you'll have a leg up in terms of material costs, but it's powerful, so I'll have to beg for it.
When I went upstairs and went to the living room, everyone seemed to have already gathered to chat with each other.
It's good to see you. You've become quite a big deal in a short period of time.
Yeah, it's been a while, Miss Letty.
How does it feel to have the cat-eared girl you've always wanted?
'That's the best word for it. White is cute and friendly and adorable.
Brother! Mee has cat ears too!
Oh, it's been a while, Mee!
Mi gives me a high five and strokes my head.
Oh, I love how Mi's cat ears are different from White's.
Hmm. I'm going to pet White's head, too.
"Okay, okay. Are you jealous? You're so cute.
'You can pet your brother Mee's more, too!
Oh. Oh.
Hi.
Yeah, I'm petting your double cat ears.
What a wonderful time we've had.
You are so sloppy with your face, aren't you?
It's not my fault. It's the pretty ones.
It's the fault of the two cat-ears who are squinting and looking pleasant!
Long time.
Oh, it's Emily, isn't it? It's been a long time since you've been here.
If you cause Lady Wendy any grief, I'll never forgive you.
Hmm? I didn't mean to... but sir?
Lady Emily, shhhhhhhhh.
"Don't tell anyone?
Yes. I will tell you sooner or later. Besides, Master has promised me that he will make me happy. So it's all right.
Okay. Okay, then.
Oh, oh. Wendy?
''Well I'll tell you properly later. Oh, but it's not a story that's harmful to your master.
Okay, all right. Okay. Whenever you can.
If Wendy says so, I guess it's not a problem.
For that matter, I wonder if Emily and Wendy knew each other?
I'd like to meet Wendy, but I don't know her.
So, you're Chris, huh? I've heard of you. How's your eye?
The girl wasn't even sitting on the couch, but was holding her knees in a corner.
Her eyes were covered by her hair and I couldn't see her condition, but she seemed to be okay.
When I looked up, she was looking up at me.
I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this. You may not like it, but it's good to see you.
Oh, um, yes...
I guess he doesn't really want to talk about it, around being frightened and not trying to make eye contact.
The first time we met, she was at the edge of the carriage and wasn't talking to me.
''Master, are you going to the royal capital?''
Oh, I'm a little curious about this auction that Hayato is participating in. Going to another city can be dangerous, but with Hayato and the others there, you should feel safe.
I can handle the King's Landing all by myself.
Well, better safe than sorry.
Hmm. I'll go with you.
Of course. And Wendy, too.
'Very well. I heard that Aina and the others will be back tomorrow, so why don't we all go together, including the escort?
Yeah. We need to get out of here.
I can get some herbs, and if I can't get them at the auction, it's not a bad idea to try them... right?
It was a coincidence, but since I was able to make it, I need to know what I need.
I don't mind telling Hayato about it.
It's a good thing that no disadvantageous situation will arise for me.
Now then, let's go get ready for dinner. Wendy, do me a favor.
Yes. I'll go with you.
I'll call you when it's done and you can make yourself at home if you like.
With that said, I took out the chairs I was using on the terrace and arranged them so that I could sit in them appropriately and we decided to head to the kitchen.
''Oh, I'll help...''
Hmm, oh. All right, then.
Chris, who was holding his knee, got up and offered to help.
Maybe he's in charge of eating for Hayato's PT.
Normally I'm a guest, so I'd like you to take it easy.
I've said myself that I'm going to help, so it's okay.
The three of us go to the kitchen and start cooking.
But I'm only going to cook the meat.
Since Hayato is here, I want you to try the beef tongue.
Umm.....
Hmm?
What do you want me to do?
Hmm. Do you usually make a lot of these?
Yes, sir. I'll make the food. That's about all I can do....
'Right, right. Then you can make whatever you want out of these ingredients?
Um... yes.
Oh, and I heard you got an eye injury. Is the knife okay?
'Yes. I usually do, so it's not a problem. .... yeah. It's not a problem. And yet.....
Hmm?
'It's my fault.... I don't have to spend a lot of extra time and a lot of money. I'm just a slave....
Ah.....
Oh, that. You're thinking it's your fault.
Hmmm.... Is it alright if I interfere?
"You're just a slave........ I'm just a slave to my master, too.
Miss Wendy.
'But my master doesn't treat me like a slave. He treats me with care and respect, like family. What about you? Aren't you being cherished?
'I think it has been done.... But I can't give anything back. So,
Is that why you're throwing me out?
....
'You said you were cooking earlier.
Anybody can cook...
Really? You might be able to make a meal that's good for one meal, but I think it's hard to make a good meal every day unless you're really comfortable with your skin.
What did Hayato and the others say when they ate your food? Didn't you tell me it was good?
'He says.... He said it's good every day. And that makes me very happy.
'Hmm. It's nice when someone you care about tells you that the food you make is good, isn't it?
Yes.
'Even slaves can want to be happy. My master loves me. I love my master. Just because I'm a slave, doesn't mean I can't want happiness.
'Yeah. For example, if Wendy lost her eye like you did, I'd definitely fix it too, no matter how much work or money it took.
Master....
That's a given.
How can you think of not sparing money to heal a wound that can be healed with a mere amount of money?
That's because your brother loves Wendy, well, you know...
Don't underestimate Hayato. He's a much better man than I am, and there's no way he'd be willing to spend money and trouble for someone he cares about. There's no way he's going to spare any money or effort for someone he cares about.
But....
It's okay. He's just doing it for fun, don't worry about it.
But I can't give anything back...
'So smile and say thank you when you're better. A girl's smile is always a man's life force.
Smile....
To be honest, you have a very depressing attitude. Come on, laugh it off, Nicho.
I pinch my cheeks and try to force a smile.
'Auuuuuut, it's yiiiiiiiiight,'
s*xual harassment. Master.
I'm sorry. But you know, it's important to smile. Especially if it's a beautiful girl.
Bepi.... It's not like that!
'No, I like the material. It's just that you're getting in the way of that wide-eyed hair. Hey, Wendy.
'Yes. I think she's a very pretty girl.
Well, when your eye goes back to normal, you'll fix your hair.
Yes, let's make it even prettier.
I'll just make you a hairpiece to go with it. It'll be a gift for you to celebrate your recovery.
Then I'll make you an outfit and give you one.
Or, you know, you can't just decide.
No, I don't.
'What? No, no!
I'm starting to get emotional. That's more like it.
Ah......... Um.
I've been up all night working (Death March) and I've had a similar look on my female co-worker's lifeless face while she was working (Death March).
It's not that I don't have feelings.
I guess I'm not good at showing them, or maybe I'm afraid of them.
I don't know what it was like before, but it was very bad, I guess.
But things have changed.
Then you should aim for happiness from now on.
I'm going to be waiting for the hungry. I'm going to make something quick.
Yes. I'm ready to go, and we'll get right on it.
Oh. Okay, I'm going to go cook some meat. Everything else is taken care of.
Of course. Okay, Chris. Would you like me to make something with you?
'Oh, yes. It's nice to meet you.
Well... White eats beef tongue, too.
We'll use it all up this time.
So we should go shopping......... If there's something rare in the capital, I'll buy it.
So, how much do you think I should bake today?
"Hello, Wendy.
Yes. What is it?
Wendy, you know, your master is a very unusual man.
Uh-huh. Isn't it cool?
'Well, yes. Just for a moment.
Master is honest with himself, a bit naughty, but good-looking and kind.
It's a bit naughty... Um, this Wendy, you love your master, don't you?
'Yes. I love it.
''I too........love Hayato-sama. I want to be by your side forever.
'Hmm. We're both slaves, but let's do our best for each other, right?
'Yes. I'm going to do my best to be like you two, you know, a little bit more.
They were talking and cooking something, but unfortunately I couldn't hear them.
But when I saw them laughing at each other, I was relieved to see them laughing at each other, and I was concerned about the degree of cooking of the tongue and salt.
