Chapter 109 – Flower Picking

“This is Jin’s home…”

“The place where Jin-kun lives…”

“Kunlun Island you say?”

Each of the three had their own reactions.

“This is nothing more than the basement where the Warp Gate is. This way, please.”

Jin said so, opened the door, and climbed to the top of the stairs. They exited into the entrance hall.

“Oh my, the walls are filled with paintings. Is this a… Golem?”,

The moment Reinhardt had said that,

“Welcome home, Father, Elder Sister.”

Soleil and Luna appeared to greet them.

“Welcome, dear guests.”

“That surprised me, are these two of your making, Jin?””

“Yep, the gold-colored one is Soleil, and the silver-colored one is Luna.”

“I’m Soleil.”

“I’m Luna.”

The two gave greetings with fluid movements.

Seeing the beautiful figures of the two girls, Elsa’s heart wasn’t calm. Because she remembered one night seeing Jin embrace Reiko.

Jin denied it, but it seems he’s got that kind of a preference after all, right? She pondered.

On the other hand, Beana voiced her surprise with honesty and admiration,

“Oh wow, amazing. Soleil and Luna? It’s my first time seeing this exquisite golems.”

“Father, since the weather is fine today, tea has been prepared outside.”.

Soleil said, and Luna opened the entrance hall’s door.

Jin responded with an is that so and a nod, then led everyone outside.

“Ooh.”

Gasps of surprise could be heard again. The reason being there were the five-colored golems’ subordinates Ruby-100, Aqua-100, Topaz-100, Peridot-100, and Amethyst-100 standing in a row wearing aprons.

“These are the five-colored golem maids. From the right, they’re Ruby, Aqua, Topaz, Peridot, and Amethyst. They’ve been named after the colors of their eyes.”

While saying so, in the back of his mind Jin considered altering the color of their clothes next time they change.

“Lo- lovely maids, huh.”

Beana said with a slightly strained voice as you might expect. Elsa looked a bit drawn back too.

Despite being golems, since every one of them was a female model, the two may have been seriously worried about Jin’s disposition.

“This way, please.”

Reinhardt was accompanied by Amethyst-100, Elsa by Aqua-100, and Beana by Ruby-100, and the group sat at a round table.

“I hope you like the tea.”

Peridot-100 said and served tea for everyone, while Topaz-100 served some Pelshka fruit.

“Hmm? Hey, this tea is similar to the good tea I had in Cline Kingdom.”

Something you’d expect only Reinhardt who’s gone around to several countries would say.

“Aah, It’s been a while since I last ate some of Jin’s Pelshka”

Beana being Beana, she was in a good mood after having refrigerator-cooled Pelshka.

Finally, Elsa asked,

“Jin, have you been living alone here all this time?”,

While relishing the taste of the tea.

“Yes, ever since my teacher passed away.”

Because Jin’s predecessor hadn’t been around since Jin arrived at Hourai Island, it wasn’t technically a lie.

“Aren’t you lonely?”

It seemed like there was worry in Elsa’s eyes when she asked that, but,

“I’m not, because I’ve got Reiko and the others, I guess.”

After hearing Jin’s response Elsa got seriously worried. But again,

“But after all I wanted some company, so I tried going to Blue Land and Port Rock.”,

Hearing those words relieved Elsa, as she thought he could still be saved.

“Right, if you live in a place like this, your common sense will become strange, no?”

That was Beana. It seemed like she remembered the time she first met Jin.

“Jin, have you made a lot of golems and such?”

Reinhardt’s interests were in Magi Craftsmanship through and through.

With a mood like that, while drinking tea and eating Pelshkas, the conversation got lively.

Reinhardt talked shop and Elsa wanted to know more about Jin.

Beana was interested in the island.

After talking about various things and having drunk the tea, Jin was soon about to show them around the mansion when Elsa asked,

“Jin-kun, bathroom. Where?”

In an instant Jin realized what she meant.

“S-Sorry! Soleil, please show her. Explain how to use it too.”,

He instructed Soleil. It was a necessary measure since there was no way Jin could do the explaining.

“Um, me too.”

Beana stood up, and so Luna was asked to escort her.

“…Oh…I messed up.”

After the two left Jin was at his wit’s end.

During the journey, the carriages were stopped about every two hours to take a break. It went unspoken that those occasions were used to go to the toilet.

But, as a result for the lack of consideration for that, the girls had to ask about it aloud.

“Jin, don’t worry about Elsa. She’s been upfront like that always.”

Reinhardt tried to console Jin, but it just made Jin sink a bit deeper into the feeling of failure.

It was simply bad consideration by the hosting party.

After a long while Jin remembered the customer service training he had a long time ago back on Earth, where when welcoming female guests he was told to make sure to first casually walk them by the toilets.

At that time.

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!!”

A suprised voice could be heard.

“Ah, isn’t that Beana’s voice? As I thought, it was surprising.”,

Jin said, with an expression as if he thought the reaction was natural. That made Reinhardt ask Jin,

“Jin, that was Miss Beana’s voice, right? What in the world happened? You don’t seem confused, so were you expecting it?”

Before Jin could answer Elsa returned.

“…Jin, kun. That was great. I want one at home too.”,

She said. Reinhardt’s face was full of questions. Then Beana came back too.

“Jijijijin, Whawhawhat was that toilet! The toilet was too amazing! It wasn’t even on the level of a toilet any more!”,

She went on and on.

“Calm down. A girl shouldn’t be yelling toilet, toilet repeatedly.”

After Jin pointed it out, Beana became bright red and shut her mouth.

Reinhardt still had a baffled look on his face, and when Elsa noticed it she said,

“Rai-nii, if you try it too you’ll understand. It was amazing.”

“Hm, is that so?”

Therefore, Reinhardt too went to try the toilet, led by Soleil.

And as expected,

“Jin! That was ground-breaking! Certainly I want to bring it to my home, no, my country! Please cooperate with me!”,

He said after running back.

The toilets that Jin had installed on Kunlun and Hourai Islands were so-called Western toilets. The bowl was made out of white quartz, and a [Purification] Magi Formula was inscribed on the surface of the seat.

A [Surface Treatment] was applied to prevent anything from sticking to it, and a water magic formula was used for flushing.

Because there was no paper (he didn’t make any) it had a so-called bidet.

If one used it for the first time, it wasn’t strange to make a noise like the one before.

Drying with warm air was also accomplished with magic, and the disposal of the waste was handled with disassembling it with [Decomposition], and removing the smell with [Deodorant].

Since in this world the standard for commoners is a pit, and for nobles it’s the so-called chamber pot, it’s no wonder that all of the three were shocked.
