Chapter 7: The Abandoned Prince Requests the Creation of a Magical Tool

The shower in the bathhouse was completely destroyed by Rosemary's dragon roar, for which I had some responsibility, so I decided to help with the repairs.

My "Complete Regeneration" allows me to repair objects as well.

I can fix damaged parts on the spot, so I should be able to be of use.

I'm also interested in the Empire's technology.

At that moment, Rosemary mentioned that she wanted to introduce someone.

"Reichel, this is—"

"Nuh-huh-huh! I prefer to introduce myself! I am the Director of the Imperial Magitech Development Bureau, Yelona!"

She was a woman in work clothes.

With lemon-colored hair, her expression was completely hidden by her bangs, making it impossible to see her face.

Can she see in front with that?

Her slightly visible mouth showed off her fanged teeth.

She was about the same height as me, but she seemed to be a few centimeters taller.

According to Rosemary, Yelona is a super amazing person involved in the development of all kinds of magical devices in the Empire.

She even came up with and made the magical locomotives that run through the Empire.

I bowed nervously.

"Y-yes, nice to meet you. I'm Reichel."

"Um um, nice to meet you too!! Well then, let's get started on the repairs right away!!"

Rosemary seemed to be doing her daily training and promptly left the bathhouse.

Then, I followed Yelona's instructions, fixing parts and handing over tools.

The former is understandable, but is the latter really necessary? That's what I start to think, but apparently, it surprisingly leads to efficiency.

However, trouble arises here.

"It's hot today, huh?"

“…”

It was an unexpected weapon.

Perhaps overheated from the work, Yelona took off her work clothes and tied them around her waist.

And what was revealed were two bombs.

I wanted to say that there's a limit to how slim one can get, as they were large and ample breasts.

She was wearing a shirt like a sports bra, with her belly exposed, not flashy, but it allowed one to taste a sense of immorality that can only be obtained from an unsuspecting girl.

"Oh, Reichel-san. Could you hold that part over there for me? A little lower... yes, yes, right there!!"

"U-um, Yelona-san. They're sitting here. On top of my head..."

"?"

I supported the large part from below as I bent down, and Yelona tried to fix the part with materials using tools from above me.

And lo and behold.

Yelona's large breasts ended up on top of my head.

Heavy. They had an overwhelming mass.

"Ohh, no wonder my shoulders feel relaxed."

When I pointed that out, Yelona said so without any embarrassment.

And then, she leaned further onto me.

Yelona seemed to be sweaty, as her shirt was damp, and amidst the sweet scent typical of girls, there was the slightly tangy smell of sweat.

However, that smell was by no means unpleasant.

Rather, it somehow aroused me.

I tried to stay still as much as possible, so Yelona wouldn't notice that my lower half was reacting.

After a while, we finished the work.

Yelona and I decided to take a short break.

"It's quite helpful having an assistant around."

"D-do you think so? I don't feel like I'm being very helpful."

"Oh, no, it's just that I always feel uneasy if I'm not talking to someone. During work, I often find myself talking to tools and parts."

Isn't that just weird?

Well, I guess some people aren't good at silently working.

"But anyway, Reichel-san, you're easy to talk to. Now I understand why my shy sister is fond of you."

"...? Um, what do you mean?"

"What!? Don't tell me you haven't noticed her blatant attitude!?"

"? N-no, it's not that. Yelona-san, your sister? Who are you talking about?"

To my genuine question, Yelona answered casually.

"It's Rosemary."

"!?"

I almost tripped over.

Huh? Wait, Rosemary is Yelona's sister?

So that means...

"Yelona-san, are you royalty!?"

"Huh? Rosemary didn't tell you?"

"N-no, well, when Rosemary was about to introduce you, you interrupted and introduced yourself..."

"Hahaha!! Oh, right, that's how it went!!"

Yelona laughed heartily and then introduced herself again.

"I am Yelona, the fifth princess!! Well, the title of princess is just for show. I've devoted my life to the advancement of magic. There's no need to be overly respectful."

"N-no, I'm just really surprised."

I never thought Yelona was Rosemary's sister.

They don't really look alike.

Yelona's height is average compared to Rosemary's tall stature.

"Hmm, you thought we didn't look alike?"

"I-I'm sorry."

"Well, it's only natural. Rosemary takes after our mother, while I take after our father. And considering our fathers are different, we shouldn't look alike at all."

"I see."

Come to think of it, Alcarion mentioned something like "having seven husbands" before.

So it might not be that surprising.

"By the way, my father was a dwarf, so my mother's blood mixed nicely to give me an average height."

Dwarves are a race known for being significantly shorter than adult human males, even when fully grown.

Moreover, they're remarkably dexterous.

Many of them become craftsmen, honing their skills over a longer lifespan than humans, creating extraordinary things in their lifetime.

Yellowna's enthusiasm for magical tools might also be inherited from that lineage.

...No, maybe not.

"Do you like magical tools, Yelona-san?"

"They're my life."

It's hard to believe someone could assert that so definitively based solely on their bloodline or something.

She's completely natural.

Perhaps because of that, I found myself wanting Yelona to make some things for me.

"Um, actually, I have a request."

When I told her what I wanted her to make, Yelona's eyes widened.

It was something that didn't exist in this world yet, or rather, in the empire.

Yelona's excitement was palpable.

"T-that would be wonderful if it existed!!"

"Right? Honestly, I'm not familiar with magical tools, so I can't make it myself..."

"No problem at all!! I can have it done in a month, no, a week!! ...But whether I can secure the budget even if I ask my mother for it, well, that's another question..."

And then Yelona looked at me.

"What!? If I mention Reichel-san’s name, Mother will surely provide the budget! What a splendid plan!! We can't waste any more time!! I'll get to work in the workshop right away!!"

"Huh? Um, what about fixing the shower...?"

"That can wait!! The call of magic is summoning me!! Oh no!?"

With that, Yelona stood up energetically and tried to run off.

However, it seemed her legs had gone numb, and she stumbled.

"Watch out!!"

I instinctively reached out and managed to prevent Yelona from hitting the ground.

But in the process, I ended up being pushed down by Yelona.

"Ouch... Are you okay? Did you get hurt?"

"...I thought I was going to die under the bomb of softness."

"?” 

Underneath Yelona, I had my face buried in her large breasts.

There was no pain. They were soft.

Feeling the warm, sweaty breasts against my face, my sword reacted involuntarily.

Yelona must have realized it too.

"Hmm, th-this is..."

"I-I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

Ah, I'm definitely being looked down upon.

Thinking that, I looked at Yelona, and our gazes met within her amber-colored eyes.

Her long bangs hung down with gravity, revealing her face.

Yelona’s face was simply beautiful.

It was a beauty that could rival Rosemary's or Alcarion’s.

I couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

"Oh, wow, you're so beautiful..."

"...Huh?"

In response to my murmuring, Yelona stiffened.

But it was too late for realization. A subtle tension filled the air between us.

I had to do something about this atmosphere!!

"Ah, no, um, well, you know. I didn't mean anything else."

"R-right, it's, it's okay. I understand. A-anyway, I'll step back for now."

Yelona moved away from me and patted herself down, then for some reason, she alternated between looking at me and herself, blushing, and finally she took off the jacket wrapped around her waist and put it back on.

Ah, her breasts are hidden now...

Feeling a bit disappointed, at that moment, Rosemary returned after finishing her training.

"Reichel, Yelona nee-sama. How's the progress with the repairs—"

Rosemary must have thought something had happened between us.

The awkward atmosphere between me and Yelona, Yelona’s sweating while putting on her clothes again, and me sweating nervously in the awkward air with Yelona.

It didn't look too far from some sort of aftermath.

"W-what happened!?"

Then Yelona and I were pressed by Rosemary to explain everything.

It took quite a while for Rosemary's misunderstanding to be cleared up.

A few days after the misunderstanding incident at the bathhouse, the event seemed to have come out of nowhere.

Thud!!

Rosemary cornered me against the wall and gave me a wall slam.

"Reichel."

"R-Rosemary-san?"

Rosemary looked down at me with a serious expression.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed, and her breathing was erratic, making her look oddly alluring.

What's going on here? Well, I know the cause.

I couldn't help but remember the events of just a few minutes ago.
