"Jin, you look tired. Is it hard to travel around the world?
Jin is having lunch at Martha's house.
"Yes, well. It's kind of out of character.
Seeing the look on Jin's face, Martha laughed.
"I think I understand, don't you?
"Are you tired, Onii-chan?"
Hannah also looked worried.
"Yeah, but I'm fine. I'm getting used to it.
"I hope so. ......"
Jin smiled at Hannah, who still looked worried.
"I'll have to talk to Hannah and Martha.
"You want to talk to me too?
"Yes. Here's ......."
Jin tells them about the honeymoon after the reception.
"Oh, you mentioned that before, didn't you?
"So, I was wondering if we could talk about it in detail."
"What? Jin, are you sure you don't mind? I'm not sure if I'm interrupting anything. ...... Erza-chan, are you okay with that too?"
Martha shakes her head and talks to Erza, who has remained silent up until now.
"Yes. I mean, please, come."
Smiling, Elsa replied.
"...... my people have been lonely for a long time. That's why we want to take care of our <>. Martha, Hannah, come with us."
"Oh, come on."
Jin is flustered as he is told what is going on inside his mind.
"...... wrong?"
"No, I'm not. ...... but..."
Martha told Jin with a laugh.
Jin, you don't have to dress up in front of us. ......Erza, I get it. Take me with you.
"Yes!"
"So, let's get down to the specifics: ......
He prepared two large ...... huge boats and took some of Jin's acquaintances on one of them.
"Hah ...... huge boats, huh? What can I say, it's Jin, isn't it? Did Hannah know about it?
"No, I don't know... but I'm not surprised, since she took me on all kinds of rides..."
"I'm sorry. I'm actually ......."
Jin confided that he had been taking Hannah around like this for a long time.
"Well, I won't complain about that. Hannah's a smart girl, and there's nothing better than her getting a good look at things.
"Yes, really."
He further explains the schedule of the trip.
"According to our schedule, we will leave on September 9.
The maid golem < will take care of things while I'm gone.
Of course, there will no doubt be support from Nido Castle and Horai Island.

"......It's Jin, isn't it?
"Wow, that's great."
Hanna and Martha had come to Horai Island using the warp gate in the basement of Jin's workshop.
Jin took this opportunity to make them official members of the .
He was amazed at the many magical tools, equipment, and golems.
"This is the sign of our friends."
He gives Martha a yellow and white marbled bracelet.
Hannah had already received a yellow bracelet.
"Thank you, Jin."
Martha put it on her left arm.
"Hehehe, you and I have the same one."
Hannah is also looking at the bracelet.
"The ship we're going on will be ready soon," she said.
"It's a ...... gin. I'm not surprised at all.
Martha did not seem too surprised after the brief introduction of the institute and the golems.
She did not seem surprised at all.
(Blood of the old Leonard Kingdom?).
I can't wait to go there!
"I can't wait to go there!
Hannah is excited.
"I never thought I'd see this day at my age.
Martha is mixed feelings, happy or surprised.
"Oh yeah, the only person who knows about this is Meane. ......"
Jin is a little worried about this point, and feels a little sorry.
"Saki knows about it, doesn't she? And then there's Licia-san."
Erza adds, but even if she knows, Licia is a new noblewoman and the lord of Toka village, so she will not be easy to talk to.
Jin is a little worried, since Saki and Reinhardt have been to the village of Kaina before.
"...... Jin, you don't have to worry so much."
Martha, not seeing Jin's troubled face, said in a cheerful voice.
"It's the opposite of being worried about me.
Jin scratched his head,
"What are you talking about? I'm your parent, so you don't have to worry about every little thing," Martha said, laughing it off.
Martha laughs it off.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Jin and the others returned to the village of Kaina.
"Thank you for your help today, Jin.
"No, you're welcome.
"Good luck tomorrow, mommy and daddy."
"Yeah, sure."
Jin smiled, realizing now that he had looked so uncomfortable that even Hannah was cheering him on.
"But, well, I hope Princess Rieschen will take care of something."
"Yeah, that's what I thought too."
And so the sky over the village of Kaina was darkening.
