Emperor Taesang (Hilde) enjoyed the view from the top floor of Nido Castle.

Jin decided to show us around the castle.

He explained the castle from the top floor (the 6th floor).

First, the fifth floor.

The fifth floor is for you and Erza's room.

Oh, so there's a lounge here too.

Yes, on every floor above the second floor.

The view from here is wonderful. It would be nice to have tea time while watching the sunset and the night sky.

To this Emperor Hilde, Jin replied,

"Then let me prepare it for you tonight."

"Well, I'm glad. Thank you, Jin.

Next, we go to the third floor.

"Some people say the fourth floor is bad luck in my hometown.

I explain.

In fact, the fourth floor is a trap level.

Anyone who came up from below to reach the fifth floor, Jin's apartment, would be trapped on this floor, which has never been used before.

"There is an office, a reference room, a library, and a spare room here."

Since he is a lord, he has an office, although he does not use it very often.

A library with various books.

A reference room displaying materials other than books.

After looking at them in order, Emperor Taue (Hilde) said

"What a wonderful library! It seems that there are books that we don't have in our country either.

He seemed to have read the books just by looking at the spines of the books for a short time. Jin deepened his respect for her.

"May I take a look at it later?

Flora asked,

"Of course. This place is open to the public.

Jin answered. The two were surprised at this.

"You can read such a treasure trove of knowledge without any compensation. ...... Sir Jin Nido is very kind to his people!"

In fact, Hannah had read all the books here and kept them to herself except for the magical practices.

And this time, she was on the second floor where the guest rooms for the Grand Emperor (Hilde) and Flora were located.

"Well, the bathrooms and washrooms are here and here on the north side.

Of course, there is a lounge on this floor.

Next, of course, we went to the first floor.

Here we have a large hall that can accommodate all the villagers and is also used for gatherings and banquets.

"Well, it's spacious. It's as big as the hall in Miyagi.

Thank you very much. ...... kitchen and bathrooms are also on this floor.

There is also a basement, but we will not go there.

"The first basement floor is a food storage. There is enough food for a year in the village.

"I see, so they are preparing for famine and disasters.

Flora looked impressed as she asked for confirmation,

"Yes, that's right.

I answered, "Yes, that's right.

In fact, it is true, and since it is connected to Horai Island by a dedicated warp gate, we have more than a hundred years' worth of food reserves, not just one year.

"The second basement floor is a sewage treatment facility and a leftover food processing facility.

"I see."

In fact, there are also dungeons and interrogation rooms, but Jin had never used them, so he omitted to explain them.

"Well, this concludes my tour of Nido Castle," Jin said.

Hilde, the emperor of the Grand Council of State, clapped her hands.

"Thank you, Jin."

The time was about to be 3:00 p.m.

"Well, I'll give you a tour of the village tomorrow.

"Oh, yes, that would be nice. The bath you just showed me?

Yes, you can go there too, but there are hot springs in the village of Kaina.

"Oh, yes!　I'd like to take a bath there.

"At this time of the day, I know it's not much, but some villagers come to enter the hot springs."

That's fine. Right, Flora?

Yes.

Then I'll show you around. Please bring a change of clothes.

So, with only a change of clothes, Jin took Emperor Taue and Flora to the hot springs in the village of Kaina.

Of course, Reiko and Ruby 101 accompanied him.

And Elsa, who has been putting the twins down for a nap. Perid 101 is watching the twins.

"Ah, it's time to harvest the wheat, isn't it?

Emperor Hilde muttered happily as we passed through the golden autumn wheat fields on the way.

Jin remembered that the national emblem of the Shoro Kingdom was three wheat stalks.

At the same time, it is now a good memory that during the wedding reception in the Shoro Kingdom, Jin and Erza were told about how the founder of the country planted the wheat with his own thoughts.

"<>," he said.

Hearing these words, the emperor was pleased.

"Well, you remembered. I'm so glad."

"Of course I am. It's the words of His Majesty who congratulated me and Elsa on our new beginning.

Yes, I'll never forget that moment.

Elsa also remembered those days and said to Hilde.

"Thank you. Being a part of your marriage was one of the best moments of my life.

A pang in the bridge of his nose, Jin dared not to be upset and continued to walk at the front of the group.

No one but Reiko noticed that his eyes were slightly moistened because he was walking at the front of the group.

* * *

"Oh ...... nice hot water, isn't it?"

And since there was no one in the hot spring in Kaina Village, the hot spring was reserved for all.

So the ladies can enjoy the hot spring without any worries.

"This is a baking soda spring, so it will make your skin smooth and smooth.

"Oh, that's nice."

In addition, the mildly alkaline nature of the water makes the soap work well.

"Your ...... skin is young, Hilde."

Elsa said without any flattery. Truly, the skin of the Emperor Taisho (Hilde) was young.

Then Elsa washed Hilde's back and washed her hair.

By the way, Flora was taken care of by Ruby 101.

* * * *

Jin stayed in front of the hot spring without taking a bath, and was going to apologize to anyone who came to enter, but fortunately, no one came until the three of them went up.
