Chapter 324 Neon

Reiko walked out to the same place where Neon danced .

“I am Reiko . I hope this helps ease everyone’s boredom . ”

Performing a beautiful curtsey, she started dancing .

“…This is…!”

“Eh…!”

Reiko’s dance wasn’t that different from Neon’s .

In fact, the feeling was stronger and, on top of that, the movements were much smoother .

Moreover, she started singing while dancing, as well . As expected, the melody was same as the one Neon was singing .

“Spring passes by in an instant~ Summer leaves, leaving its footprints~ Autumn quitely goes by~ And winter comes running fast~”

Her lyrics even had meaning behind them .

“The land watches man’s activity as always~ The water just flows by~ The flames shine, warm and burn~ The wind blows by all things~”

Everyone’s gaze was fixated on Reiko .

And then, the dancing and singing came to an end .

“Thank you for watching . ”

Again, she did a curtsey and paid her respects .

And silently returned to Jin . Everyone was still silent .

“Father, how was it?”

That question made Jin came back to his senses .

“Ah, it was wonderful, Reiko . As expected of you . ”

He said while stroking her head and Reiko just smiled sweetly .

“A… amazing!”

Belche, who had finally came back to her sense, shouted .

“Reiko-chan, well done!”

Reinhart said .

Matheus followed up saying,

“Hats off!”

Even the waitresses of the hotel applauded .

“That was amazing, Rayko-chan! When did you learn it?”

Belche asked excitedly .

“Neon-san showed me the example, so . ”

Reiko answered nonchalantly .

“Eh?”

“…Just by seeing it once?”

Everyone was surprised but Reiko could even memorize a part of a high level magic by seeing or trying it once .

“See? I told you, right, Belche? Reiko-chan is an amazing automata!”

Reinhart boasted as if he was speaking of himself .

“Thank you very much . But everything is thanks to father, who made me . ”

With that one sentence, Belche was even more impressed .

“Wonderful! Exactly like a human–no, exactly like a girl! Jin-sama, please be friends with Reinhart-sama forever . ”

“Yes, of course . ”

Jin also answered with a smile .

The fancy party ended and everyone went back to their rooms .

Jin had thought Reinhart and Belche would have the same room but then he remembered the conversation,

“Are we in the same room today?”

“N-n-n-no way I am doing something so shameful!!”

And so, Belche had denied with a flushed face .

“Now then, I guess I will go to the village tomorrow . Tonight, I will just rest . ”

“Yes, father . ”

“You did really great today, Reiko . I am really proud . ”

Jin said, stroking her heard . Reiko had a happy smile on her face .

“………”

Belche was sitting on her bed, gazing at Neon .

At that time, there was knock on the door .

“Come in . ”

Neon went and opened the door .

“Sorry for coming in so late . ”

Reinhart came in .

“Reinhart-sama, what happened? Before the ceremony… you know, we can’t?”

“No, it’s not something like that . I was just a bit worried about you . ”

“… . It also kinda hurts when you just brush it off saying ‘something like that’, though…”

“Ah, s-sorry . No, like I was saying…”

Reinhart panicked as Belche was glaring at him . Seeing that, Belche soon laughed and said,

“It’s a joke . Reinhart-sama, you were worried about me… why?”

Belche asked with a dubious expression, which said that she didn’t remember doing anything to be worried about .

“Hmm, that is, I was saying… about Neon . ”

“Neon?”

“Yeah . I told you before, right? That Jin is a special magi craftsman . I personally think he is the best in the world . That there is no magi craftsman in this world greater than Jin . ”

Reinhart started speaking enthusiastically . Seeing that, Belche said with a bitter smile,

“…Geez, you get so worked up when it comes to Jin-sama . Someone might end up misunderstanding if they don’t know you well . ”

“Eh? Eh?”

Reinhart was a bit flustered, as he also remembered being misunderstood by Matheus . But, after seeing Belche float an impish smile, he knew that he was being teased .

“Come on, don’t poke fun at me . Either way, as I know how deeply you care for Neon, I was just a bit worried . ”

“Worried?”

“Yeah . Seeing Jin’s Reiko-chan, I was worried you might say that you don’t like Neon anymore . ”

Hearing that, Belche’s eyes opened wide for a moment, looking surprised . But the next moment, she burst out laughing and said,

“Ufufu, Reinhart-sama, you were thinking that?”

And after laughing a bit more,

“…Sorry for laughing too much . But, you saw me like that? If so, that makes me a bit sad . ”

She finished saying, looking sad too .

“There’s no way I will ever not like Neon . This Neon, which you gave me . ”

Neon was the automata Reinhart asked his master’s senior apprentice, Gebalt Ackerman, to make before leaving the country as a diplomat .

Belche continued,

“I was just thinking how Neon and Rayko-chan were different . ”

Saying that, she called Neon with her hand, made her sit beside her and hugged her . They looked exactly like twins .

“I . . see . Then it’s fine . I’m sorry for doubting you… Neon, you must be happy having such a great master, huh?”

“Yes, Reinhart-sama . My master is the best in the world . ”

Neon said smiling .

“That Rayko-san is an amazing person . I want to be friends with her . ”

Reinhart also smiled hearing that .

“I see . I am supposed to guide him through the land, so I will talk to him about it then . ”

He said while patting Neon’s head .

But Belche, who was sitting beside her was pouting .

Correctly reading into the atmosphere, Reinhart said,

“Well then, sorry for bothering . ”

And then he kissed Belche on the forehead .

“Ah-n-no, it’s fine, Reinhart-sama . ”

Belche blushed and was flustered as she was caught off guard . She then panickedly stood up and saw Reinhart to the door .

“Good night, Bell . ”

“Good night . ”

And the door was silently closed .

That night, Belche probably had a good dream .
