r>Is it because of…yes, I think you called it the ‘Control Core,’ is that the key?”

It seemed that Saki had understood the concept of Automata after witnessing it just once.

After dinner, Jin and Saki continued to talk about the concept of Automata until they went to bed.

“Father.
What time will you wake up tomorrow?”

Reiko asked before they went to bed.

“Ahh.
Wake me up at 6 o’clock.”

Jin said to Reiko as he lay down on the bed.

He closed his eyes and thought back on what Saki had said.

“I don’t mean…like a small child, alright? Yes, couldn’t you make a small Automata that could fit in the palm of your hand?”

Jin regretted that he had so many preconceived notions regarding those words.

(It was really just a moving doll.
That sounded interesting.)

He thought as he drifted off to sleep.

The next morning, Jin went outside after being awakened by Reiko.

As planned, a wrapped up bed and bedding were loaded onto the carriage.

It would cause quite a stir if it were suddenly sent to Renhart’s mansion, and so it would be carried like this.

Jin hadn’t even said anything.
It was all Laojun’s doing.

“Father.
Falcon 3 did it all late last night.”

Reiko reported.

“Hmm, I see.
Then we are all ready.”

Jin looked up at the sky.
It looked like the weather would be nice today as well.

They planned to head for Reinhart’s mansion at 9 ‘clock.
Saki was awakened by Ehr at seven thirty and got up as she rubbed her eyes sleepily.

Her hair was a mess.
It was a far cry from what it had been when Belche fixed it.

“Good morning, Jin.”

“Good morning.”

Saki washed her face in the water that Ehr had brought.
This seemed to wake her up, but her hair was still awful.

“Saki.
It’s Reinhart’s wedding today.
I hope you will dress appropriately?”

Jin could not help himself from saying this.

“Yes, I know.”

Jin ate breakfast that Ehr had prepared and then got dressed.

He intended on making an appearance as an Honorary Craftsman of the kingdom of Egelia.

His pants were made of grand spider thread that was dyed black.
As the material was thin, it would be cool during these early days of summer.

It was eight thirty when he was finished with his preparations.
He went to see how Saki was doing, and found that she was still busy with her door opened.

Of course, this didn’t mean that she was in her underwear, but Jin still hesitated to enter.
And so he asked Reiko to go inside to see how she was doing.

“Oh, Reiko.
What is it?”

“Father sent me.
He was wondering if you needed any help with your preparations.”

“Oh, how nice.
Yes, what clothes do you think I should wear?”

Saki said as she opened her closet and pointed towards all of the dresses.
It was no surprise that Ehr had no advice to give.

“Yes.
Your hair is an auburn color, so I believe a relaxed lavender color would suit you.”

This line was the result of Jin’s attempt to equip Reiko with some femininity.
But it wasn’t Jin who struggled the most.
It was the Quinta who had to get the information.

“Lavender?”

As this word was from Jin, Saki did not understand it.
Which was not very useful.

“Uhh, it is a bright, bluish-purple.”

“Hmmm.
…Like this then…”

There was something like it in the closet, but Saki hesitated to take it out.

“Is there a problem?”

“…No.
But there is something about this dress.
Well, it was a gift from my grandfather.”

Saki did not have a very good opinion of her grandfather, Marquis Theoderic.

“But that is not the dress’s fault.
It is just a matter of how you feel, isn’t it?”

“…I see.
How I feel.
Thank you, Reiko.
Then I shall wear this.”
