Chapter 230
Translator: Tseirp
Just as I was lost in thought, that homunculus (naked) suddenly came forward to kiss me .
A kiss? Just what was this homunculus (naked) thinking? Suddenly coming forward to kiss me!?
“Suddenly kissing me, do you not have any shame! What are you thinking?”
I shouted at the homunculus (naked) after I was finally released .
“Shame? But providing magical power is the master’s duty?”
“Eh? Providing magical power?”
Now that she mentioned it, I noticed that I have been robbed of quite some strength .
Nevertheless —
“In that case, we can just use your back . The back with plenty of sweat glands is more than sufficient to transfer magical power right!?”
“Eeh, but that is quite inefficient . It would be done in just a few seconds with a kiss but doing it via the back will have to take dozens of minutes . ”
“Wha-what a girl . ”
Could there be such contrasting personalities even though they were both homunculi?
“Master, do you have any kind of string to tie my hair with?”
“Ah, I have those that my younger sister used . ”
I took out a rubber hair tie from my item bag and passed it to her .
“Thank you~”
She said as she took the rubber hair tie, held it in her lips and started arranging her hair .
She was tying a ponytail .
“Or rather, Pionia! Hurry up and prepare some clothes for her . ”
“Aren’t you enjoying the view?”
“Just hurry up and do it!”
I turned around and starting chanting a sutra .
However, unlike Miri who could do everything, I did not memorize most of the sutra and could only intently chant ‘Namo Amitabha’ .
After a while,
“Master, I have finished changing . ”
I heard a voice call me . She had finished changing but it seemed that she would need a longer time to set her hair . She seemed to be struggling quite a bit with it .
“Okay … wait, don’t you have any other clothes!? I’m surprised you even have such clothes . ”
Homunculus (naked) became homunculus (maid) . Yeah, she was wearing a maid outfit . Moreover, Pionia was thorough with her work and was wearing a maid outfit as well . I wondered just what kind of shop were we running .
And naturally, they were not the regular maid outfits of this world — they were the maid outfits you would commonly see at Akihabara . As if to match their hair colors, Pionia’s maid outfit was yellow while the other was a green maid outfit .
“Master Malina sketched the design for me previously so I made them . ”
“Hah, that girl … seriously . ”
Saku Malina seriously loves cosplay after all . I only recently found out that even her regular elegant magic-user outfit was actually not because of Marina’s wishes but Saku Malina’s wish instead .
“So, master, what would be my name? Could I receive a name just like elder sister Pionia did?”
Homunculus (maid) said after she finished tying her hair .
“There’s no way I can think of a name so suddenly . ”
I had to think pretty hard when I was considering Pionia’s name .
“It’s okay, you have to go with your intuition for something like this . Things like the origin of the name or the word strokes are all the parent’s ego after all . Rather than such a name, I want a name that I can call my own . ”
“You — have a very manly personality . ”
I looked at her clothes, hairstyle and hair color as I pondered .
I thought for up to a minute . I realized that after taking this long to think, it could no longer be considered intuition . Furthermore, the expectation hurdle would raise even further the longer I pondered so I chose that name from the couple candidates I had .
“Are you fine with Neete?”
“Neete? That sounds good . So, what meaning does it have?”
“Didn’t you say you won’t want to know what meaning the name has?”
“I didn’t say I wouldn’t ask . I said it so that you would not be bothered by it . I like the name . I will accept this name even if this name is the name of master’s ex-lover . ”
“I won’t do something like that, as if naming a gal game character after a crush . The reason is that . ”
I pointed at Neete, or more specifically, at her hair .
“It’s a po(nyta)il so … Neete . ”
“I see, it certainly is a novel name . ”
She replied and was actually not angry as she laughed happily .
I instantly knew that she was a lot easier going compared to Pionia
Hmm, it might be a little strange since she looked like a cute girl but if I think of her as a male friend, she’ll probably be a person I could get along with very well .
“Ah, master, I have one question . ”
“Hn? What is it Neete?”
“When are you going to do lewd things to me?”
“Like hell I would!?”
I snapped at Neete’s question .
I take back my previous words, this girl is a mess .
For now, Neete would be in charge of the newly created mine and the fields .
Well, there were various issues but that seemed to safely resolve the issue of the lack of manpower .
“Master, because of the shock from your knock on my head just now, the ending of my sentences has become strange desu . Could I consider this as having acquired a new character desu?”
Sheena No . 3 said something idiotic but, yeah, something this degree shouldn’t be an issue .
The person (machine?) looked like she was happy after all .
