17-05 Meine's Regret, Elsa's Shame

September 7th.

Being able to build friendship with the families of the neutrals, Capricorn 1 was set to set out towards the next goal.

In order to avoid any extra trouble, the family of "Erosion" has sent a messenger in the name of family chief Domenicos beforehand.

And on the way is the central family of the extremists, 'Harmony'. Yes, it is the family of 'Lardus'. It is also the largest family member, with about a hundred members.

In addition to the 'puppet' Berials, he is accompanied by Jalardos from the 'erosion' clan. As I accompanied the next chief of the clan, I could see my trust in Jen.

Capricorn 1 travels at about 25 km/h, a journey of about three hours, with less than 80 km to the residence of the 'Harmony' clan.

"Well, did that happen..."

"That would not be easy for mankind to forgive."

Since there was time on the road, Jen (of "Double") had described the acts carried out by Lardus of "Harmony".

"It's a little hard to forgive you for spraying deadly germs."

Jaraldos in "Erosion" looked difficult.

"Actually, he... Lardus hits my cousin"

And he spoke of an unexpected fact.

"Are you a cousin?

Reiko, who had confronted Lardus directly, asked him to confirm.

"Yes, his mother is from my family… or my mother's sister"

An unexpected blood relationship was revealed.

"So... that, Lord Jin. What are you going to do if you meet Lardus?

I just told this story because if Jen meant he couldn't forgive Lardus, he would be in a very difficult position as far as he was concerned, Jarardos confessed honestly.

"... well, they've caused a lot of trouble, and some are dead. That's a tough question."

Jaraldos told me honestly, so Jen, who is currently manipulating the doll (double), stated as much as he thinks.

"In the light of human law, there's no doubt about death, but why don't you try being a Demon?

"... if you kill your fellow countrymen, you're dead, it's the same"

"So what if I killed a human?

……

Jarardos stuck in words. Jen could somehow guess with it.

"... has it ever occurred to you that Lardus was being manipulated by the 'Steering Needle (Aggh)'?

When Jen asked him that to try, Jalardos shook his neck to the side unfortunately.

"That's a small possibility... because he's been interested in humans since he was a young boy and enjoyed imagining putting on all kinds of little bits"

"Hmmm......"

In addition to Lardus, there are also Androggias, whose family is unknown but named Marcosias, who guided him to poison the Marquis of the Empire of Shouro and, conversely, "Frenzy", who was killed by all my brothers and sisters.

Negotiations with extremists were difficult in the future.

On the same day, in Penglai.

After breakfast, Meane, cleaning up after, noticed how her daughter Elsa was doing differently than usual.

After the washing, we go to the laboratory's workshop, but today we go together to the point where we shelf the dishes. It's as if you don't want to go to the workshop.

"Elsa, enough of this one, okay?

To try, if you call me that.

"...... hmm. Until the end, I'll help."

So she washes the dishes, and carries them to the shelves.

"If you do that, it's over."

Speaking of,

"...... hmm. Help me get down to lunch."

Didn't I say something like that? Meine intuited that this was still something.

"Master Jin's help, don't you have to?

Then the red that Elsa's face sees becomes.

"... what happened?

"Hey, nothing."

Heh heh, I laughed all the time. Meine snaps Elsa's cheek.

"What are you talking about with such a red face? Talk to me properly, will you?

"... and..."

"Huh?"

"... I was told it was okay."

"Fair enough."

Meine sighed, speaking of seventeen years old, at a time when he was already married and had children. Yet how pure is this girl?

Though I thought so, before I named myself my mother, I remembered what I had once done as a nanny to keep the bad bugs from coming along.

On the other hand, think about Jen.

There are many women around in one way or another. That, too, is about your age. Besides, it's beautiful. What's more, it seems highly likeable.

"But..."

Is it paedophile, every woman feels different. Hannah is still young, and Saki feels like a fellow researcher. Stearena has a good vibe with Saki's father, Toa, and Vivian is still unfamiliar with Penglai and has few contacts with Jen.

"Mr. Lisia, was it..."

A woman who was with Jen, Elsa and Hannah at the summer festival in Kaina Village the other day. Lords and new nobles of the neighbouring village of Toka. As old as Elsa is. Besides, I could see you favoring Jen even from the edge.

But when I say it on the occasion of face-to-face encounters, Elsa is far more. Or we can always be together.

"But hey..."

Meine knows that being together is equal-romantically advantageous or not.

(Well, I'm not in the past to be proud of others either)

The self-derisive words squealed only in her chest, and Meine decided to push her daughter's back to do it.

"Half the praise you have for girls is like a social decree. Plus, if you're happy to be praised, you won't get away with it."

"So, but"

……

Meine strongly regretted it. If you are an aristocratic lady, it is normal that you have debuted the social world since you were about thirteen years old and have become accustomed to the vernacular.

But not when it comes to Elsa. I moved away from the social world for whatever reason from being 'hypermagic' or my own bias.

Hardly, my cousin Reinhardt had taken Elsa out onto the tabular stage a few times a year, but unlike parties and so on, it didn't seem to be enough to gain interpersonal experience of a man or woman.

"And Master Jin..."

On the contrary, Jen speaking.

I don't have a floating story. I thought you had a male hobby. That's not true. At one point, I know that's not the same, although I've worried I might be a puppet lover.

"... I wonder if it's dead."

Somehow, I feel like that's the closest thing to the truth, Meine. I don't feel a raw odor in my attitude towards women. It's not a reason, it's a woman's idea.

Then when it comes to the words you should say to Elsa.

"Is Elsa for my sister? It's my family that my brother is cute to my sister. I care too much."

"... is that right?

"That's right. Here, help me, do it."

That's what Meine says and gently pushes Elsa's back toward the kitchen exit.

Keep going, and Elsa walks and looks back once.

Thank you, Mother.

Elsa then rushed to the workshop where Jen would be on a small run.

And Meine, who had missed his hindsight, took a small sigh.

"... it looks like it's still a long way to go"

……

"Elsa? What's wrong?

Meine was surprised to see Elsa come back soggy.

"Did Master Jin say anything to you again?

"... yeah.... Brother Jin, I wasn't in the workshop"

Jen was piloting a "double" in the command room at this hour.
