Chapter 37: Bracelets

A new day begun as the sun has already risen at the distance. Since it was Saturday, Glynne doesn't feel like getting up as he toss and turn in his sleep. He was fully enjoying the fluffiness of his bed as his lips curved into a smile of satisfaction.

"Oh my, are you dreaming about something lewd?" However his sleep was interrupted when he heard a voice on his bedside. Glynne slowly opened his eyes and glance over to where it came from. There, was a young woman dressed in her usual maid attire.

"So it's you, huh..." Glynne said while having a huge yawn. He quickly lose interest as he grabbed his pillow and cuddled it up.

"Hm, seems like you have been getting lazy since the last time we met." Rita said while observing the boy. She sat down on the bed and begun stroking his head. "You would usually be up and training at this hour. "

"Would you please just let me be?" Glynne grumbled. He turned to his other side and curled up. "I was pretty busy this past few days preparing for the exam. At least I deserve this level of laziness as a reward."

Rita giggled at his argument. Despite Glynne having a clear hostility towards the maid's captain, it seems like her training policies was properly integrated to the boy.

Constant training is good and all but you also need to give some time for your body to rest for it to keep up — is what Durandal would always say. Though this is useless to Glynne with his enhance natural regeneration, he was still following it properly for his mental fortitude.

"By the way, how's Bianca doing?" Bianca was the other name for Rita's captain, although she doesn't use it as much anymore. The fact that she allows Glynne to call her that means that she somehow trust him... Well, it might also because she felt guilty how she was always using him as  punching bag.

Rita smiled as she continues to stroke the boy's hair. He truly cares a lot of his acquaintances, whether they are on good terms or not. She was not sure what was the cause of this but she can tell that something major might have happened to him in the past. "Do not worry, as a squad captain she has some duties to do back at the HQ. You know, she was quite raising a ruckus when she found out I would be the only one who be reuniting with you."

"Is that so," Glynne responded in a indifferent tone. He has gone silent for a while as his grips on the pillows became stronger. "You're not my enemy, right Rita? "

The maid's hands stop as she was surprised with the boy's unexpected question. Glynne got up and stares at Rita's pink eyes for while before heaving a sigh.

"Sorry, that just came out of nowhere?" he said as he got out of the bed. He then walked towards his dresser and grabbed his school uniform. "Anyways, I remembered something I needed to do in school. See you later."

Rita just stare blankly at him as the boy left the room.

"Glynne, are you feeling okay?" Bronya asked, concerned at the boy being awfully quiet for a while.

"Sorry, I was only thinking about something." Glynne responded with a bitter smile on his face. He then patted Bronya's head as they continued at the devices they have been working for a while.

On the table was a pair of black bracelets with green lines on one and yellow lines on the other. The main function if this device was to monitor the state of the body of the one that wears it and be able to share it to the other pair. Incidentally, it can also be use as a limited communication device as the two bracelets can past information back and forth between each other. Well that was the objective in creating this device.

What they are making was quite an advance technology considering how the two that created it are still students. However with Bronya's high intellect and Glynne's experience in tinkering with multiple machines, they were able to make this in a short amount of time. That said, it was not without some couple bugs.

"Alright, this is attempt number seventeen. Hopefully we should get it right this time." Glynne said as he attached the bracelet with green lines on his right wrist. There was a whirling sound as a loading screen is being projected on his arm. When the bar has become full, the basic information such as vitals, weight, height, blood volume, etc are shown onto the display. There seems to be no visible problems. "My device is working properly as intended, what about yours, Bronya?"

"Mn, activation successful" Bronya replied as she show her own data. For some reason though, her's was showing her three sizes.

Glynne let out a dry cough as he tries to forget what he just saw. Bronya would always find a way a tease him. "First phase has been completed. Moving on to testing the pairing function."

Both of them begun operating both of their respective devices. Using a cord to act as a stable connection, they have successfully paired their devices with each other.

Glynne gulped down his saliva while Bronya seems to have a sweat tickling down on from her forehead. It cannot be help, this is where they have been stuck for quite some time now. They have a hard time establishing any stable connection without a medium, however their goal was to create something that can be connected through wireless means.

"Ready?" Glynne asked as he put his hands over the cord. Bronya replied with a nod as she also prepared herself for the upcoming failure. "Three, two..... ONE!" the boy finished his countdown and pulled the cord as fast as he could. He then quickly closed his eyes, hoping for the best.

.........

For a couple of seconds, both of them turned silent. Slowly, he opened his eyes and took a quick glance at the display....

[Connection has been Established] — is what was written on the screen. Seeing this, Glynne pump his fist up in the air. The test was a success making him quite overjoyed. Bronya also smiled at the accomplishment, though her reaction may not be as energetic as him, she too share the same feeling.

After a few moments of shouting, Glynne has finally calm down "Ahem, sorry bout that." he said, clearly embarrassed as he remembered what he had done.

"Don't worry, that has unintentionally became like a test if the meters are working correctly." Bronya replied while showing Glynne's heartbeat data on her arm. Maybe because of his excitement earlier, the numbers are a bit higher than normal.

The boy scratched the back of his head, feeling a bit awkward about the unintended test. Though he do admit that the parameters seems to be working fine, but there are still some minor stuffs that needs tweaking. But well, they might need to consult some expert on that. As of now, the basic data are the only ones that are showing on the displays.

"Alright, its time to test for the effective range!" Glynne declared in as he pump his fist again on the air in high spirits as Bronya also followed through. They spent the whole afternoon that day testing out their new toy.

It was evening, the whole dorm residents are gathered on the dining table as they are having dinner. They are quite excited since the cook for tonight is no other than the famous Maid of Schicksal. Rumors say that the Overseer himself has a stamp of approval for her cooking and even declared that he will not be satisfied if it is not food that was cooked by Rita Rossweisse.

"Delicious!!!" Kiana exclaimed as he begun to devour down on her share. She hated to admit it but Rita's cooking is miles ahead of Mei.

As for the dark haired girl herself. She was slowly savoring the taste as she seems to be taking down notes on her head about the flavor of the food.

"As delicious as ever, Rita." Theresa complimented, however she seems to be a bit squirmy on her seat as the food seems to pair well with a certain drink similar to how it is served at the west. Perhaps predicting this to happen, the maid has procured a red wine from the kitchen and poured it in a wine glass near the cutest principal. "Ah.... Uhm, thanks" she said a bit awkward as she feels like she was being treated special.

"Would you like some too, Ms, Himeko?" Rita offered as she got near the red head teacher.

"Ah, yes please!" Alcoholic drinks is one of Himeko's weaknesses. She has a hard time refusing whenever she was offered with one. The disappointing teacher was happy as her wine glass is being poured half full by Rita.

"....." as for Fu Hua, she just sitting quietly as she enjoys her food. She wanted to reprimand Himeko for drinking again. However since it was wine and also because they are no classes tomorrow, she chose not to do it.

"Glynne, there's some sauce on your cheek." Bronya pointed out to the person besides her.

"Eh really? Where?" Glynne was confused as he tries to find for it. However it just gotten worse as it spread further on his cheeks.

"Here let me help." Bronya grabbed a tissue and got near the boy. Glynne was letting out a groan as his head is bobbing due to the girl's wiping his cheeks a bit too hard.

"......" The pair was busy interacting with each other that they didn't noticed the whole dining table has gone silent. All of them are quite surprised at the scene that is unfolding in front of them.

"Hey, isn't this a bit too much?" As Glynne tries to stop Bronya hands from further rubbing his skin off, they noticed the couple bracelets that are attached in their right wrist. That said, it was not that stylish.

"Ahem..." Theresa let out a fake cough interrupting the two. She noticed how the atmosphere of the room is a getting a bit awkward but what driven her to stop them was because she noticed her niece was shaking on her seat. It was easy to tell that she seems to be bothered by something.

Perhaps noticing what they were doing, Glynne's face blushes a bit as he continued eating his food. Meanwhile Bronya has a smug smile on her face as her plan of teasing the boy is successful.

"I'm finished!" Kiana declared as she suddenly stood up. Cleaning her plates and putting them on the kitchen sink. She seems to be fuming as she got out of the room.
