At the same time, in the Women's Bath

Author's Note: This is the second chapter of a two-part episode. Please take note.

While Merlin was expressing his grat.i.tude towards the male members of the research society and cried because of s.h.i.+n, what kind of situation was happening in the female bath?

"Ah… Melinda-sama, how amazing…"

"Really… Excuse me for being impolite, but if I'm not mistaken, you're already over sixty?"

"I'll be reaching seventy soon."

"And to have such body… It's foul play!~"

While the females were taking off their clothes in the bath house, they were astonished when they saw Melinda's body.

Although she's already over sixty, reaching seventy, her body doesn't seem like that at all.

How was she able to maintain her body? The girls were all very interested, and when they looked at their own body, they found it even more unreasonable.

The person in question, Melinda, didn't care much about those things and got into the hot springs to enjoy herself.

"Ahh… It penetrates deep into my flesh and bones…"

"You're right… I seem to be unexpectedly tired."

"Fufu, I'm glad to see that you're all enjoying yourself."

"This is good. The best~"

The girls were also tired from the long journey, but because Melinda was acting as their guardian, they didn't make much of a fuss.

And after calming and settling down in the hot springs, they went towards Melinda.

Because she really wanted to hear about it by all means, Maria asked the question.

"Melinda-sama do you do anything different?"

"Hmm? I don't really do anything different… Ah, but now that you mentioned it, s.h.i.+n said it's good to move my body and created some exercise equipment."

"Equipment?"

"Ah, that child usually makes really unthinkable things, but he also sometimes make convenient things."

"Eh? In other words, it's a magic tool?"

"Yeah, when you supply the equipment with magic power, it'll start to move. There's an equipment for walking or running on top of a belt, and there's also a tool which increases the weight you lift little by little. And the effectiveness of those tools is beyond what nature would allow, one can immediately see results."

"The effects can be seen immediately!?"

"Is that really true!?"

"Yeah, however, I don't really know why. Thanks to that, my physical strength and endurance have increased recently. At this rate, I'll be able to live until a hundred and fifty."

Although Melinda said that jokingly, the other female students looked serious.

Especially Alice and Rin.

"Melinda-sama! Umm, is it possible for me to also try out those machines!?"

"I would also like to use it."

Melinda looked at the body physique of the two people who made the request. And then she said words of despair.

"Although I don't mind, but even though I said it would train one's body, the chest portion won't grow?"

"Eh?"

"Is that so?" Thanksforreading—broughttoyoubyM|VL|EMPYR.

"Or rather, if the body moves too much, the chest portion will become smaller?"

"Wha—!?"

"So-something like that…!?"

Melinda's words brought despair for two people.

With those words, those who were still interested asked questions.

"What do you mean by when one moves the body too much, one's chest would become smaller?"

"Ah, I only heard it from s.h.i.+n, he said that when you exercise too much, your body fat will decrease?"

"Yes."

"That's right."

"Meaning the meat over here will…"

It suddenly changed to a different topic.

"And so, because the chest is made up of body fat, so when one exercises their whole body, it seems to burn body fat."

"Heehh~ Is that so?"

"In other words… If one exercise their body like Melinda-sama, we'll end up having a great body like her!"

Is seems like for women, removing body fat is an everlasting project.

"All things considered… I wonder why s.h.i.+n would know of such things?"

"That's right. Although I noticed this when we were learning how to imagine casting magic, but he really does know a lot of things."

Maria and Sicily found something strange and asked Melinda.

"That's right… Merlin also said that he's the type of child who is curious about everything. Why does fire burn? Why does the wind blow? How is water made? Why does water turn into ice? What is the body made out of? In what way does it move? Those are the examples of the things he wanted to find out."

Melinda began to talk about the nostalgic past.

"That child, ever since he was about the age of five, he has been running and hunting around the forest."

"Fi-five years old!?"

"That is really unbelievable."

"Give it up, because it is the truth. I was also really surprised. One day when s.h.i.+n was nowhere to be found, I asked Merlin about it and he said… 'Isn't he out hunting inside the forest?' I immediately strangled Merlin because of that event."
